FINALLY!!! I've been waiting all year for news of this!
I never finished the first game, was stuck with the time trial, but got the platinum with the remake and never got the last evil pigs in the sequel, so looking forward to remedying that with this remake.
Honestly, not trying to be a grump, but I haven't subbed for a very long time and none of those have made me feel I'm missing out or would make me want to re-sub.
But confusing with the poll for the first game, I loved it and completed and platinumed it.
I'd be playing it right now if it wasn't bought for me for my birthday, but that's not too far away, just REALLY hope to avoid spoilers, I haven't watched any more since the second trailer.
Have fun everyone who's playing it right now!!! Envious in a good way!😀
I personally thought the first game never needed a sequel, and preferred the Uncharted series anyway, so never bothered to get the second game or either remake.
I loved every moment of the game. I'm one of the people it fully clicked with for whatever reason. Can't wait for DS2 It's just in time for a big birthday for me.😁
@AK4tywill It would be great if they upped the ones you can delete from 0% to one. The amount of games I've tried out not liked and gotten a trophy for practically loading the game is very annoying.
@thefourfoldroot1 Exactly, I haven't bought a brand new game for myself in a couple of years, but in the past twelve months alone I've bought 18 PS4/5 games 2 switch and 4 Vita used physical games.
I think it's amazing and kinda ironic. It's such an achievement that they're releasing another remastered trilogy, just one year after the last trilogy.
When poor old Core only were given a year between each release to conceive and create each title!
I put that I'm playing it now, but I will as soon as I can and will get Tombi 2 and hopefully a third might happen if enough people buy it Right Now! If you love the game don't hesitate for a sale.
I still have Tombi and Tombi 2, but definitely a day one purchase for me, one of the first games to have a Trophies type meta game in it...never got the race track one though and never fully finished the second. Damn they were so good but hard!
@Runex2121 Well probably ok if you're subscribed to a decent internet provider and have a decent WiFi hub. But to people like myself who aren't, it's disappointing they didn't implement it working on a local level without going through a Wi-Fi Network. It seems like they just threw it out there to sell as many as they can and then abandon it as they have with so many other peripherals as they have in the past.
@Foxhound I'm not trolling by any means, it's a very honest opinion and, as my previous posts were well put, with no disrespect to others, but now unreadable, It further places foul play in certain quarters.
Sorry I'm not gonna touch it. Maybe it's of use in household's with a big network setup. But relying in on wi-fi connection router etc. It's not for me.
I managed to watch it in a rather rare showing at Carrick Omniplex when it came out, only about 4 people in the place, but everyone laughed when the phone went off 😁
He said years and years ago: paraphrasing "If I can sell you the same game multiple times, then I'm doing my job" I hated that mindset then and hate it more now.
Look how much of the games now are remakes and remasters, even aside from the fact they charge stupid prices for straight up ports, when before him they had backwards compatibility.
@extragood Ah, good advice. Thanks for that. Might just grab the first two on the PlayStation store sale, then. Not that I'm a fan of buying digital games. Cheers.
@djlard Mine have been fine, have two. Just swap them every time I've had a warning battery is low, never seems particularly shorter than when I was swapping Dual Shock 4s.
I don't know how anyone else feels about this, as I haven't seen anyone else talking about it. But it feels disrespectful to Uematsu in regards to the music.
If it's the same as REMAKE then it's mostly ditching his iconic tunes, to only have them appear almost as pisstake rearranged extras.
I don't know if the new composters were instructed to do this or it came from them, but it feels like they mocked his style of composition in REMAKE.
Yes, he had relatively simplistic arrangements compared to modern fully trained composers, but they actually did their job and resonated with the players, I doubt the new tunes will in 20+ years.
It just makes them come look like elitist snobs who didn't want to sully their CVs with doing proper arrangements of the work of an untrained composer.
@KaijuKaiser It's clear that FF has a long history of being mostly turn based. It's also clear that Square Enix lost their way following Sakaguchi leaving, and have been chasing trends since then to try and catch up to them instead of driving them.
The person is expressing their opinion, regarding a good background of the games being a certain stylist choice that lasted for a long time.
The people behind it have chosen to deviate from that to get widespread sales and emulate western games. What is wrong with disagreeing with that and also thinking it's a wrong direction for the game series?

Too late, should have been done a while back, they should just make something new, but of the same quality as that.

Re: Subscribers Start Receiving Their Final Copies of PLAY Magazine
Such a shame, it's a pity PlayStation didn't let them keep the licence for the name, and under current market conditions charge them less to do so.

That's good, I'll definitely support this, despite the weird nonsense from Sony about the PS5 non platinum.

It would be bullying if loads of people decided to tackle the same person.
Re: Vengeful Fallout 76 Players Keep Nuking Xbox Boss Phil Spencer's Camp
Bullying in any format is not good, I'm surprised at the comments celebrating it and for Push Square to publish the article in a manner to enable it.
Re: Jim Ryan Leaves PlayStation as PS5 Set to Become Its 'Most Successful Console Ever'

Is there a ps5 bundle of the first two to get started on?
Re: Square Enix Reveals Where Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Will End
Looks excellent! I'm still guessing the 3rd game might be called REGenesis.
Re: Suikoden I & II HD Remasters Delayed Out of 2023
Ugh! I was waiting, but might just fork out on physical copies. Only rented them before, but it would be nice to own them.
Re: South Park: Snow Day! Is Not the PS5 Game You Were Expecting
Very disappointing, but would have been even worse if it was another RPG, but utterly ruined by the 3D style.

I honestly don't think they have it in them to make a worthy sequel to the franchise at this point, for a lot of obvious reasons.

If there's a similar game on the way from the actual guy who did the original Settlers, it might be a good idea to wait and compare the two.

I don't know how anyone else feels about this, as I haven't seen anyone else talking about it. But it feels disrespectful to Uematsu in regards to the music.
