The Last Remnant is an RPG that was released for both Microsoft Windows and Xbox 360 developed and published by Square-Enix in 2008. The game was planned to be released on the Playstation 3 as well, but the Sony publication never saw the light of day because of mediocre reviews and complains about glitches.
Square has been thus far silent about the PS3 version of the game, neither confirming nor denying that the game is still in development for PS3. However, after recently updating their website after E3, there was a curious sight to behold…
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth publisher Square Enix has declared a $140m loss based on a shakeup of its internal development pipeline.
What are they doing over there? Sounds like they canceled something big. I read a rumor a while back about ff9 remake . Here "Final Fantasy IX has gone through a very challenging development, the game is still in progress but may undergo changes drastic enough that we won't hear about it for a couple of years."
This could be one of the reasons if the rumor is true. That was Silknight i don't know how credible he is but it's something and it would make sense.
The industry implosion is continuing. Sky high budgets, prolonged development windows, stagnant sales numbers, and falling currency values (inflation) are wreaking havoc on the legacy industry. AAA games will slowly become the rarity.
Saad from eXputer: "After suffering from massive financial hits, Square Enix & Bandai Namco appear to be turning over a new leaf but I'm still unconvinced."
I was talking about games with some Japanese guys here in Japan, and it seems like around here Bandai Namco has a fame of making low-quality games, with the occasional gem.
About Square Enix, I believe they lack the capacity to improve. They should learn with Capcom (although even Capcom still makes some bad mistakes), but I don't think they ever will. They keep chasing whatever is new at the time (blockchain, AI...) to say "we innovate", without considering the public perception and if these things actually improve the games or not. Them releasing too many small games with no advertising also shows a lack of trust in its own products. Even with their biggest games, like turning FF into an action game with XVI and the very divisive plot changes regarding whispers and timelines in VII Remake, shows them trying to attract a new generation of gamers without understanding what made the series so big in the first place.
I don’t know why NOW they decide on this, but I guess later is better than never.
Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."
What a word vomit, rambling, turd of an article that simply states the obvious. Classic exputer.
Famitsu made a poll about the most anticipated PS3 games last year and Last Remnant was really high in it. XD
Can't we just have Lost Odyssey instead :S...?
People still care about that game?
I would actually say that Last Remnant for all its glitches and shit framerate, has considerably better gameplay than lost odyssey.
In every other category, however, lost odyssey dominates.
If the PS3 version of this game has improved performance, better framerate, and other positive tweaks, then this game is worth trying for me.
