i encourage everyone to go to Max doods twitch.

he played the demo or a portion of the game and showed it off on his twitch channel

MrNinosan236d ago

Everyone and their mother did, but yeah, Dood is one of the best when it comes to covering Final Fantasy VII content.
Also his spoilercast with Easy Allies from 3 years ago is amazing.

gold_drake235d ago (Edited 235d ago )

i cam assure you, not everyone does ha.
and no, the easy allies wasnt good

the dropped frames was miles better.

shinoff2183236d ago

Can't wait for this. Just a shame about saves not carrying over.

Workshyskiver236d ago

What! So my grind to LVL 50 with max materia was for nothing :(

CrimsonWing69236d ago

I think if you look at these as sequels it makes more sense. I think the balancing between each game would be too difficult to incorporate keeping new players in mind and transferring over progress from level 50 players.

Like 13 trilogy nothing transferred over or like 10-2.

shinoff2183236d ago

Workshyskiver, that's exactly my thoughts I put in some work on that front

Workshyskiver236d ago

Looking forward to it. I just hope they let us play the game a bit more rather than interrupting us every few minutes to look at something like a door opening etc.

Knightofelemia236d ago

So waste cash on the remake to find out you can't swap the save over what a waste.

MrNinosan236d ago

Other than .Hack, I can't think of other games where you can transfer your save data to the sequel.

I'm happy each game is their own, and as SquareEnix stated, they want every game in the trilogy to be enjoyable by anyone, wether they jump in on Remake, Rebirth or the third game.

Knightofelemia236d ago

Trails of Cold Steel you can And the newer Trails games that came out you can carry over your save even ME you can carry over your save.

shinoff2183235d ago

Would it of been that difficult for them to allow save transfers and people fresh starts. I feel numerous games have done it. Didn't mass effect, knightoffelemia mentioned trails games, I know there's been a few others.

I'm still really really looking forward to rebirth, so it's not a deal breaker just would've been nice. They still have time maybe ? Hopefully they have a change of heart on the saves

Snookies12236d ago (Edited 236d ago )

I seriously don't get this... How is it people were expecting sava data to carry over? It was pretty obvious that wouldn't be a thing. Considering they were calling each part it's own game. In fact, if I'm not mistaken they mentioned it wouldn't happen a long time ago.

You would be way too overpowered going into Rebirth. Not to mention, by the time we got to part 3 our characters would be like level 150 or something. That's a bit overboard. Remake was a fantastic game. Not sure how you can call Remake a "waste" just because of a feature that you "thought" might happen in the future.

shinoff2183235d ago

By the time I got toward the end of disc 2 og ff7 I was level 99. And?

No it wasn't that obvious at all.

Snookies12235d ago (Edited 235d ago )

@shinoff2183 - That doesn't mean that's how the game is MEANT to be played. Of course you can power level in an RPG... You're ignoring the main point of my comment. That the developers have always stated each installment is "it's own game". That's why it's obvious it wouldn't carry over. I was simply making a small point about the leveling being a bit ridiculous as an added note.

CrimsonWing69236d ago

How is playing the first part of the story a waste of cash? 🤷‍♂️

shinoff2183235d ago (Edited 235d ago )

Crimson,

Right, it's kind of only the setup and all for the game. Naw just skip your good. Wtf who would skip it

Nintendo confirms its commitment to physical games

In an era dominated by digital downloads and streaming services, the importance of physical media in gaming remains a topic of discussion.

Of course, Nintendo has always preferred physical sales, especially since they skew to a younger audience, and kids want games for their birthdays and holidays. They go to the store and pick the game they want.

Since the Wii they have always been the last major publisher to support modern tech or concepts, and they will be the last to support physical if it ever goes away. Which I hope it doesn't.

darthv726h ago

Nintendo just likes sales in general. If they can sell digital more, they would because the 2nd hand market they do not get a cut of. For me, i tend to buy more physical switch games than I do other platforms. I do have my fair share of digital deals from the eshop though. Especially if its something that i have a sealed physical copy of and dont want to reduce its value.

Cacabunga5h ago

Then I know for sure who I will be supporting

neutralgamer19926h ago

OK, but you need better format where these games could actually fit instead of half of the game being in physical form and all I have being on a digital code or have to download

Hofstaderman6h ago

The one caveat with cartridges. If the leaks are true the internal storage stands at 256gb plus SD card support too.

franwex2h ago

You could have a 256gb card and a 10gb card. Publishers will simply use the 10gb one and make you download the rest.

Inverno5h ago

There are cards that can fit all of a game but those cost more, and publishers are cheap. It's weird cause with how much the switch has sold and how long it's been on the market the costs to manufacture these cards should've been much lower by now. It's a publisher issue cause there has only been very few exceptions on PS and Xbox, rest of the industry would rather force a download despite Blu-ray being cheap.

shinoff21834h ago

Your right. It's definitely a publisher issue. From my time collecting that's what I've come across. Just always remember

Doesitplay.org

Tell you everything you need to know about releases.

Flakegriffin2h ago

Pretty sure most, if not all, of Nintendo first party titles are all on cartridge. It’s the third parties.

ActualWhiteMan6h ago

Yeah it artificially retains the high prices for their software. Hence Pirates will always have their day with them.
