Ah, back before 5-year development cycles, seeing "Squaresoft" on a box actually MEANT something, single-console co-op play, and no worries about firmware.

Remember PSM's lid stickers? Those were rad. I had an Eidos one featuring Ninja + Tomb Raider on my console.

BigWoopMagazine4679d ago

I miss those days. Lately I've been wishing I could find the time to play through FF7 again, been a lot of talk about FF that's been making me long for when Square made good RPGs.

I had those stickers too BTW, I recall mine was the PSM symbol, a smiley face with an eye patch on it.

rabidpancakeburglar4679d ago

Ah, back when I was 6 and could have probably played a blank screen without noticing.

Pintheshadows4678d ago

Thanks for making me feel old chap.

duplissi4678d ago

thebudgetgamer4678d ago

jeez, i was twenty years old.

I used to buy titles just because they had the SquareSoft logo. That's literally how I found Secret of Mana. After that, I bought pretty much ALL of their games. I stopped at FFXI and haven't purchased another other than FFXIII. But that was a regretful purchase.

saladthieves4678d ago

I agree. After the merger to form Square enix, they started to slowly but surely go downhill from there.

T3mpr1x4679d ago

Great, this article got me nostalgic for my childhood. So I just got on eBay and placed a bid for some POGS! I hope you're happy.

This was an excellent read.

I’d have taken a few of those out. Prefer Sonic over Sonic 2. Outrun should be in there. Maybe even Pong as millions of people had fun with that even if it was repetitive. Final Fight pipped any Streets of Rage game, although Streets of Rage had the better soundtrack. Too many to list l guess. To me, retro gaming is the 1980s, maybe going into early 1990s.

Popsicle40d ago

Agree that the generational gap is too broad to really make a strong list. Need to tighten the years a bit. Hard to compare Pac Man with N64 games.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater - Official Unreal Engine 5 Trailer | Xbox Partner Preview

Get a glimpse at how the remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 will be updated through the use of Unreal Engine 5.

Snookies12186d ago

It looks wonderful visually. Frame rate is very inconsistent though, and definitely running sub-30's at times. I get that this is an alpha version. I just hope we can hit a locked 60 on the final release. Also, I kind of wish they'd expanded the areas a bit. Might feel a bit odd going through these sections that are still clearly going to be on a PS2 scale in size.

neutralgamer1992185d ago

They should expand where necessary and I really hope they do justice to this remake. IMO this remake should be top tier like dead space, resident evil 2 & 4 and demon souls

I am speaking quality wise

CrimsonWing69186d ago

Holy sh*t that looks good! I hope they don't censor it.

GamerRN185d ago

What is there to censor, I never played 3

An Xbox adventure in the jungle

BehindTheRows186d ago

*A multiplatform adventure in the jungle.

autobotdan185d ago

Mentions xbox on n4g. Prepares for nasty n4g comments replys

BehindTheRows185d ago

I mean, you can say that to yourself while you're drugged up on Xbox pills. Changes nothing. :)

autobotdan185d ago

Man you get insulted whan someone mentions xbox. You might need medicine

BehindTheRows185d ago

"Insulted" — says the guy running around like a headless chicken trying to convince folks to care about his favorite box. Ok champ!

BehindTheRows185d ago (Edited 185d ago )

If you actually have a counter argument to this being a multiplatform game and how "A multiplatform adventure in the jungle" was a "nasty reply", I'm all ears.

I'll even help you... what is the counter to this being a multiplatform game and why is that a nasty reply?

autobotdan185d ago (Edited 185d ago )

I was never in any argument or debate. You accused me of being on xbox pills. That was a nasty reply. I am done here. Not going to waste my time here

BehindTheRows185d ago (Edited 185d ago )

I mean, if someone responds to you with a factual correction and you reply with "Xbox xbox xbox", I'm not sure what kind of response should be expected.

If someone replied with "Ps ps ps", I'm sure you would wonder what is going on, especially if nothing wrong was said to you.

autobotdan185d ago

A factual correction?? What the..? I'm very confused here What were you correcting?

BehindTheRows185d ago

I thought you were done? :P

Answer: it's just as much a PlayStation/PC adventure as it is Xbox.

autobotdan185d ago

So i hurt your feelings by not mentioning Playstation/pc on an Xbox event article correct?

BehindTheRows185d ago

Hurt MY feelings? Once again, if someone replies with "Xbox xbox xbox", it's clear that they are affected by something more than they should be. You then double down with some BS about N4G (like this place is immune to trash talked about anyone else but them).

Plus, I thought you were leaving? You can't help yourself. XD

Unreal Engine...how disappointing.

Apovyk186d ago

UE5 is the best looking engine on the market today - why is that disappointing?

RedDeadLB186d ago

Because, at the moment, the most technically problematic and disappointing games run on it. 540p upscaled next gen goodness.

DarXyde186d ago

Disappointing if resolution is a huge deal for you.

Personally, I feel a re-tooled FOX Engine would have done great. If it was a PS5/PC only title, I think Decima would have been an excellent choice.
