I'm thrilled about it. Everything about ff7 rebirthblooks great so far. Only complaint I could have is I hope they didn't go over board with the wwe tag team sh.

lucian229156d ago

the tag team stuff is amazing, if you dont like it you dont have to use it. did you not play intergrade?

shinoff2183156d ago

If it was in intergrade I definitely don't think I used it. Atleast that I remember, it's been a minute. It's not a huge deal.

CrimsonWing69156d ago

Man, I love the team up attacks, but yea, this game is literally bringing back that feeling I had with gaming waaaaay back during the PS1 era. Call me jaded, but this game feels like I’m about to experience something special and I haven’t really felt that with a game in a long long time.

Hofstaderman156d ago

I remember the first time I left Midgar back in 1997. I think I'm going to be in awe again....

Snookies12157d ago

It's going to be amazing. I love how originally the developers kept saying the game was only going to have large zones. Then they just casually dropped the fact that it's an actual open world now. They went above and beyond their own plans for the game, and that's how you know it's going to be an incredible game. I'm taking like 4 days off work when this drops, haha.

MrNinosan157d ago

I actually saved my vacation from the summer to take 2 weeks for Rebirth and 1 week for Dragons Dogma 2 😅

shinoff2183156d ago

Phew. I now know I'm not the only one to take vacation days for videogames. I have for years. I remember picking up gta5 on ps3 valentines day. It sat on the table in works lunchroom taunting me all night. Then I go home and my girl(usually asleep by 11pm) is wide awake making a dinner. Needless to say I finally got to playing 3am or so

gold_drake157d ago (Edited 157d ago )

i cant wait for this to finally come out, 2 months and a few days and ill finally have it in my hands :)

MrNinosan157d ago

Omg, it's actually only 2 months away. Give me the chills, and best part is that Like a Dragon will ease the wait from end of January ☺️

jznrpg156d ago

just give me the game already !

Hofstaderman156d ago

Two more months...two more months...

raWfodog156d ago

One of the greatest feelings of awe that I had while playing the original FFVII was leaving Midgar for the first time and discovering the vast world map that you could explore. This was the first game that sparked my interest in open worlds and huge explorable maps, and I’m happy to hear that Rebirth will be continuing the trend.

Days Gone Director Says Bend's Project Costs Over $250M; Says PS Co-CEO Doesn't Want 2 Zombies Games

Days Gone director claims Sony has already poured in at least a $250M in Bend's project; says Days Gone sold more than Death Stranding.

shinoff218321h ago

Well that sucks. Seems they want more online trash. I'd rather of had the sequel if it was single player

MrNinosan7h ago

What online trash games did PS Studios release last 10 years?

Notellin5h ago

The past has nothing to do with the future. This is such a terrible argument. Everyone knows about their current live service push.

_SilverHawk_4h ago

It's so tragic what happened to days gone. It is such an amazing game but bandwagoners trashed it and it underperformed in it's launch year. Days gone is the best open world zombie game released in the past five years. I was recently playing it on pc and I'm still amazed by it.

Games are very expensive to make and it seems like it's normal for a AAA game to cost over a quarter billion to make so if a quality game like days gone greatly underperforms then people shouldn't be upset when they see a lot of GAAS. I still remember a lot of bandwagoners calling days gone trash but years later it's now amazing when it's considered a failure by sony.

If a game isn't the best thing seen since hats with pockets then a lot of gamers who haven't played it automatically calls it rubbish and whoever made it should be incarcerated

Cacabunga2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Co CEO prefers gamers to boycott.. so be it. I’ll never buy a gaas.
Just imagine buying a game you cannot replay in some years.. this shit must stop.

Days Gone did zombies in a very original way. The story was also so engaging. You actually only meet Zombie hordes later in the game. There are many more enemy groups to deal with.

MrNinosan1h ago

@Notelin
I am one of the few who bought Days Gone on release day and loved it completely.
However, "more online trash" is phrased like Sony has put out alot of trash online games.
We got what, 2 games? Helldivers 2 and GT7, 2 of the most sold Playstation games where both is loved by millions.

You, me and especially shinoff has no idea if Fairgames, Marathon and Concord will be trash.

Just because we (as in you and me) don't love or support online games, doesn't mean millions of other do.

And we don't know what Bend Studio is working with? We don't know if they're forced to make a online game or another amazing single player experience.

The only thing we do know is that it's not Days Gone, sadly due to poor sales the first 6 months.

It would be a shame if it was true that Hermen never gave the franchise a chance simply because he didn't like it and they already had a "Zombie" game with TLOU.

NaughtyDog are most likely moving onto a new IP next so it would have been the perfect time to do it.

ThinkThink13h ago

Here's where xbox steps in and releases state of decay 3 day and date on ps5.

Grilla6h ago

Days gone 2 was canceled before Herman was in charge. That happened like 4 years ago.

vfl5236h ago

4 years ago he was head of Playstation Studios. He would've probably had a hand in the cancelation.

Notellin5h ago

Man two seconds of research could have saved you from this comment. Amazing work Grilla you fit in with the uniformed N4G community who speaks before verifying anything that they say.

Redemption-644h ago

Maybe encourage people to buy the game at full price and not when it's heavily discounted or go on plus. If this game had sold well when it was full priced a sequel would have been in the works. They made a single-player game that most people didn't support until they dropped the price.

Cacabunga2h ago

The guy’s just a moron.. he should have stayed within game development. His choices will have a terrible impact on the brand in the long run.

Yep. Kind of weird since it wasn't a sales flop, no?

I know we have to take what Ross says with a grain of salt since we're hearing just one side of the story, but even so, the game wasn't bad at all. Heck, it's my brother's favorite last-gen game from what I recall.

The amount of zombies on screen, imagine that with the PS5 and SSD? That would be insanely fun!

Grilla6h ago

Most copies were sold on sale. Not enough ppl bought it at full price. I paid 20$ for it 6 -7 months after release.

Notellin5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Yeah we should never believe the creators side until we hear the corporate/big business side as history has shown we should always believe billion dollar corporations.

What a bootlicker statement.

derek53m ago

@Notellin, of course you'll believe an embittered ex-employee with an axe to grind because it's evil Sony he's complaining about. You guys act like days gone was this huge success and somehow Sony hates easy money a sequel would have generated. The game was mid and so was the response to it. They're still supporting the developer who is making a new ip that could be great.

Well I don’t want 10 live service games, but they have no problem doing that lol. Ugh.

CrimsonWing696h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Oh great so we only get what the big wigs want… y’know, the people that really have their fingers on the pulse of what their consumers want. Faaaaantastic!

rippermcrip4h ago

Well consider they know the sales... they do know what the consumer wants.

It sold shit.
