Final Fantasy VII PS3 Hitting in April

Kombo Writes: "Square-Enix has revealed the first image of the limited edition Final Fantasy VII PS3. Pictured on the right, you'll see the Final Fantasy VII style PS3. Dubbed 'Cloud Black', this PS3 will come individually numbered and packaged with a BluRay version of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete. Of course, the real appeal of getting Advent Children Complete on BluRay is the Final Fantasy XIII demo."

lol im reading headline thinking they bringing the ps1 version to the psn but i was wrong :(

chaosatom5570d ago (Edited 5570d ago )

Almost forgot that there is FF7 blu-ray movie.

But Seriously, I don't want Square Enix doing FF7 right now. They just haven't Justified themselves to the ps3 owners.

Panthers5570d ago

CAN SOMEONE TELL ME IF THAT MOVIE IS COMING TO US?

Or at least has English Subtitles? I have never seen Advent and I would love to experience it for the first time in Blu-Ray. I would love an english release, but subtitles would be great too.

Nathan Drake5570d ago

Ha,if FF7 was to ever be remade,I'm pretty sure Microsoft would shut down another first party studio to get it as an exclusive

chaosatom5570d ago (Edited 5570d ago )

here is the reasoning.

If it comes to us, then it should have a demo, right? But then Xbox can't play blu-ray, so it would piss MS, which Square will never do.

EDIT: wait, nvm there are english voice over.

But I can like to able to see some of the Awesome CGI, so i can torrent it and stream it using tversity when it comes out.

thePatriot5570d ago

is as big as the hype for kilzone2 in U.S. if not bigger. and its only a demo

Panthers5570d ago

I might just have to import it IF they have subtitles.

If not then I will wait patiently for a US release. I dont even care about a demo because I will buy FFXIII no matter what.

incogneato5570d ago

super gay. they are milking the ff7 series for all its worth and not giving fans what they really want: A FREAKIN REMAKE

Bonsai12145570d ago

haha, headline got me excited. trickery... this will heat up sooo fast.

TheTwelve5570d ago

What a tease. I almost had a minor heart attack with this headline.

Sheddi5570d ago

What the hell is wrong with them? Just release FF7 on PSN! IS IT SO F***ING HARD!
(sorry for my bad language but I think u guys understand my feelings.)

shine13965570d ago

lol...you did your job so bloodly well!!!

hook, line, and sinkered.

cayal5570d ago

"Ha,if FF7 was to ever be remade,I'm pretty sure Microsoft would shut down another first party studio to get it as an exclusive "

They can't, I believe Sony own part of it.

ppisatosspot5570d ago (Edited 5570d ago )

@Nathan Drake

Micro$oft can never get Final Fantasy 7 as Sony has the publishing rights to it. Its the only Final Fantasy where they have the rights to. They don't have the rights to FF8, 9, 10,11 and 12 tho.

Also considering Sony had a major hand in FF7 you will never see a FF7 game outside the Playstation Brand (besides mobile games)

SaiyanFury5570d ago (Edited 5570d ago )

Square-Enix loved the PS3 originally. This was demonstrated by the FFVII Tech Demo. But in it's first year the PS3 didn't pan out as S-E figured it would so they went to the 360, with a donation or two from an anonymous company. Now S-E swears no loyalty to anyone, but seems to have a fetish for everything 360. Star Ocean 4 on a non PS console? Considering the last 2 were only on PS consoles, there seems to be something going on. Do they expect Star Ocean 4 to sell more on the 360 in Japan when it has less than half of the install base? Sorry, Square-Enix is a corporation that wants money, and Microsoft have obviously appealed to them in that regard. Squaresoft was a developer looking to develop the best games on a platform. S-E versus Squaresoft; Squaresoft will get my vote every single time.

As for an FFVII remake, Sony co-owns the rights to FFVII as they co-published it on the original PS. So I doubt that a remake could be possible on a non-Sony console.

Itrguy0015570d ago

wow u guys must really like final fantasy 7 huh? i got FF7 on both the PC and PS1 discs

prowiew5570d ago

Ok kool. Now go make a remake of it on ps3

gaffyh5570d ago

Pretty good idea on Sony's part, this PS3 might sell a LOT, just because it is associated with FF7. Although I expected this to say FF7 PSN, but whatever...

Danja5569d ago

This FFV11 SKU looks rather plain and boring but im sure it will sell well in Japan.....but im def getting the advent children Blu Ray , prolly just import it...

Shadow Flare5569d ago

If japan gets advent children alot sooner then europe does, then im getting the japanese copy. I don't understand japanese, i need english subtitles, but i hate the english voice acting so much in that film i would gladly rather listen to it all in japanese with no subtitles. I've seen the film enough to understand what they're saying anyway. The japanese voice acting just for some reason sounds perfect for how i imagined the characters would sound. The english voice acting is awful in my opinion. It makes me cringe. So its japan edition for me

IdleLeeSiuLung5569d ago

Doesn't that suspiciously look identical to the gunmetal grey MGS4 Limited Edition PS3?

I paid a gazillion for it, $600+, at the time. Feeling ripped off even more now if they are making one identical to it with a cooler artwork on it....

elorm95570d ago

Meh, it's just a different colored PS3 with some small image on it :|

Ichiryoka5570d ago

Do you know what the image is?

Panthers5570d ago

Im going to take a wild guess and say Ifirit or Bahamut.

Dont bash me if I am wrong please ;)

Ichiryoka5570d ago

BUt I'm sorry to say thats not right, it has to do with Cloud though, so any one else want to give it a go?

MattyF5570d ago

It's the lion face that Cloud has on his earring and chest.

Panthers5570d ago

I never knew about an earing. Was that only in the movie?

MattyF5570d ago

You'll notice the earring in the movie but I believe he had one in the game but it wouldn't have been too detailed.

Ichiryoka5570d ago

And it's a symbol of Cloud's guilt and regret. As a result of being unable to
do anything to save Aerith and Zack, he blamed himself for their deaths. The
symbolism of the wolf also works in regard to the expression "lone wolf," as
Cloud has chosen to live away from others while he awaits death from
Geostigma. Continuing this line of symbolism, Cloud wears symbols of a wolf's
head and his motorcycle is named "Fenrir," the name bore by Loki's wolf child
in Norse Mythology.

it's what i have on my vest.

Title is misleading. And they could do better. Thats kind of lame for a limited edition console. Put some Color on it and Cloud with his sword and other VII Character drawings on it.

Jager5570d ago

Hell, they should of had this
logo on the PS3..

joeyda5570d ago

What about the Final Fantasy XIII log---- oh yea, ooops.

LittleBigPlanet 3 Servers Are Officially Shut Down 'Indefinitely,' Sony Confirms

Sony has confirmed that LittleBigPlanet 3 servers on PlayStation 4 will remain offline “indefinitely” following troubles with the service from earlier this year.

rlow19h ago

Sad day, hopefully they’ll allow a third party server solution. Goes to show game preservation is an uphill battle.

blackblades1h ago

Sad day oh wait everyone that whining about it didn't play it or haven't played it in years and never was going back to it. Funny how people start to care when this happens but when it was actually up those same people didn't even pay attention to it.

What needs to be highlighted by this is that the series has had 4 main games then that go kart spin off yet sony let them all die.

There is 0 games like this on ps5 and to my knowledge 0 first party main kids games no tech demo crap

Sony purchased Media Molecule studio the ip then tossed it away letting it rot for over 7 years yet the community carried on until now were we have lost 16 years on all games of content along with no replacement.

Everyone goes on about ea killing studios but sony has killed way way more but its fine its sony they can do no wrong.

Before the sony blidboys track me down again go fire up your holy boxes all the dlc they tossed out all the trophies and all the user content needs a server side handshake that no longer works. Yes offline single player version 1.0 works but that is it.

Media Molecule was not cut i know but they only made LBP and dreams it was reported they just missed the chopping block
https://gamerant.com/little...

Do not forget the dreams game was tossed out 2020 but 3 years later support was pulled
https://www.digitaltrends.c...

All in all this is another failure at sony on a long long list in the past 10 years

Inverno3h ago

It's kind of hard to disagree when SONY has a history of abandoning many of their IPs. They killed Mod Nation and turnt it into LBP Karting because of brand recognition but left it to die too. They made their own Smash Bros only to rush the studio, and turn the game into an advert for recent release at the time and still let it die. They shut down PS Home for more or less the same reason, they left it to rott till it became too broken and exploited to bother fixing.

just_looken1h ago

This right here

Playstation home is what facebook is trying to make now but in vr that metaverse deal

Imagine if sony kept up ps home development

The death of playstation forums was also a huge loss

u-bEttA-rUn2h ago

Their games were unable to attract the masses every game that came out the attachment grew smaller and smaller they advertise LBP for years the industry changed and then came fortnight... You want Sony to continue to support them which cost them money that they're not getting back from the studio.

Tacoboto4h ago

I feel bad for Media Molecule. For the ideas they have it seems they need a publisher that supports games like this and Dreams especially for as many players as possible.

DOMination-6m ago

Sony in the Andrew House era did support them massively though. They let them do their thing with LBP and spent millions marketing it. I remember one E3 they even used LBP to cover the boring parts of the presentation where they talk about sales figures etc.

And then they allowed MM to announce their game on the PS4 console announcement/showcase event and waited the entire generation for them to release it.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC11h ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer12h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey60211h ago(Edited 11h ago)

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya9h ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde9h ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

SeTTriP1h ago

This right here is my order as I thought DMC 5 was amazing and obviously 3 comes after 4 was great and 1 for the nastilgic value it holds 2 was so terrible that my local GameStop gave full refunds to people who returned it.
