'The Last Remnant Remastered', a re-release of the 2008 RPG 'The Last Remnant', is now available for PlayStation 4 from Square-Enix.
Released by Square Enix in 2008, The Last Remnant inevitably drew comparisons to the developer's greats, most notably the Final Fantasy games. Thankfully, both the original and The Last Remnant Remastered stand out. The Remastered version, pretty much a direct port released for phones late last month, is truly impressive. The transition from a full-fledged console title to a mobile game is a daunting one, yet The Last Remnant Remastered pulls it off very well, though it does consume a ton of memory.
Very surprised to find this one ported to mobile. Phones are slowly becoming proper handhelds; especially with developers finally figuring out how to make more complicated games work with serviceable controls on a touch screen.
Square Enix announced that their JRPG adventure The Last Remnant Remastered is available now iOS and Android devices for $19.99.
The Mako Reactor says: “It’s an interesting curiosity from a time when Japanese game companies were coming to terms with the HD era of video games but we can’t help but wonder what could have been if a bit more time and effort went into this re-release.”
The game was fundamentally very flawed (especially the BR and enemy scaling system), so no amount of "remastering" could save it. It needed a complete overhaul, and Square would never spend more time and money in this game than the bare minimum.
Square Enix will rerelease so many of their games on PS4 except the FFXIII trilogy apparently
Took at least a decade to launch on Playstation.
getting this when it hit $10 or free.
well, took em like 10 years but its finally here....
It's amazing how well this game runs in comparison to the 360 version kinda surprised it wasn't released for XB1
