Chris looks at if enjoying video games and being good at video games are the same thing or mutually exclusive.
For some gamers, The Legend of Dragoon is, hands down, the best RPG ever. Isn't it time for a remake or reboot and not just a port?
It never will. The game may have been good, but it was just average at best. The kind of game that is one and done.
Story was good combat was better than ffvii. Game deserves a REMAKE not a remaster
It was anything but average! The story and characters were highly captivating, the gameplay was enjoyable, and the world was interesting. Fans have been requesting a remake for quite some time. I revisited the game last year and found myself completely immersed in it once again. The PS1 had numerous beautiful classic JRPGs that truly deserve remakes.
I'm happy with the PS Classics port, but if they did, I'd like a port/remaster of Legend of Legaia as well (please put that on PSN).
I was just going to say legend of legaia REALLY needs to get the remake. Also keep the combat the same, and the OST. Legend of legaia a truly a gem. I still have my original ps1 game, mint condition.
I wish I still had my disc, I really enjoyed that game as a kid, but then the disc disappeared (I'm normally pretty good with my games, so it's strange that it's the only game I've ever lost), I have Legaia 2 still, but it's not as good as the first game, unfortunately. It's surprising the first has never been on PSN when Sony owns the license for the game, they seem content to sit on it and do nothing with it.
A team of modders has been working on an unofficial PC port of the 32-bit Playstation JRPG, The Legend of Dragoon.
If Square Enix can remake FF7, then why not Sony?
Remake these classics, Sony ... not recent games like Until Dawn
lets see ... Bluepoint's remakes are great ...but not total reworks like RE2 or FF7
but pretty sure they can come up with a good Remake of Legend of Dragoon
to be fair it's a good game, not a great one. I recently played in on PS5. combat becomes stale after doing the same button skills again and again. I think they will have to overhaul combat like FF VII remake then it will shine. Story was good though!
Cory Barlog literally said his dream project would be remaking The Legend of Dragoon. If I remember correctly, he's actually pitched it before but Sony refused to greenlight it.
Damn
I recall Barlog also expressed interest in remaking Silent Hill 1 once ...
Crazy square doesn't do this kind of thing themselves with all their classics. I'd throw lots of money. Thank God we have such great communities as they're always the ones that properly remaster these games.
Porting means rewriting a game's code to run natively on another platform. Many think LoD's release on PS4/5 is a port, but it's actually running on an emulator. Roms are the "game" itself. Both emulators and PC ports use these roms to load the game. The difference? Emulators imitate original hardware, with many of their limitations still in place. It's why some types of modding are difficult or unfeasible. With a native PC port, modding is way easier and the core game runs much more efficiently.
Robert Ramsey: "If you're looking for a PS1 RPG experience that typifies the era, The Legend of Dragoon is a solid shout. A big budget title at the time, its ambition is still hard to fault — but with the benefit of hindsight, it's also easy to see where this Sony-backed release stumbles. The combat system is uniquely satisfying, but it can feel frustratingly stunted. Meanwhile, endearing characters carry an emotional story, but an awkward localisation effort comes close to sabotaging the script. A flawed classic, but a memorable adventure all the same."
I loved about everything about it way back besides the button pressing in battles and inventory limit. Everything else I felt was really good. 7 seems fair
I’m much better at the button pressing now then I was a long time ago . I’ve had practice over the years but it seems easier on the pS5 controller . I actually don’t mind it
I rate this a 9/10. I absolutely think it’s one of the RPGs the PS1 had to offer.
I agree. It wasn't the best, but it wasn't flawed like the article tried to claim it was. Writers like this feel like they are trying to say what they think people want to hear. I bet they would also give FFVIII a 6/10.
One of my favorite games growing up. Almost beat it now for the 1st time in 23 years lol never managed to finish it as a kid. This will be one of my most satisfying gaming achievements
im not very good at games but i spend over 1000$ on them a year anyways.
