"While trying to defend the UMD and insisting on it's continued use Michael Ephraim (Sony Australia's Chief) states that the digital PSP Go's games will be based on the same price structure as the PSP 3000.
Now he could mean that they have a pricing structure similar to the one below and they will be following it with the PSP Go or they are simply going to market the games at the exact same price."
Acquire, famous for games like Tenchu and Octopath Traveler, becomes KADOKAWA subsidiary. Can this mean a revival for beloved series?
I would kill to have a Way of the Samurai game with a huge budget and modern tech... The first game was one of my greatest joys on PS2 back in the day. And I really hope From Software will do something with Tenchu... I hate that they're just sitting on the IP like it doesn't even exist.
Tenchu would be superb in this day and age. Ninja and samurai games are hot right now and more is better.
Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?
Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.
Final Fantasy XVI producer Naoki Yoshida is interested in working on a brand new Final Fantasy Tactics game.
Not from you.
Knowing how you handled FF16 by trying to make it appeal to non-fans and changing the entire gameplay design I can see you changing Tactics to appeal to non-fans.
If they’re going to do this please give it to someone who wants to keep the game and genre in tact.
I wouldn't mind a new FF Tactics longs they keep the tactical elements of Tactics in it as well as a very in depth story. Which FF Tactics years ago has by far one of the best stories in the series.
What's wrong with that? It's basically the same thing except you don't have to lug a case of UMD's around (which is why I'm getting the PSP Go).
I was expecting the DD to be the same price as the UMDs. I guess you could argue that the DD should be cheaper since it doesn't cost money to make the copies but I 'd rather pay a little extra for the portability of a DD anyways. The original PSP (and slims) were always so un-pocket-friendly since the were sorta big and you had to lug around a case full of UMDs; you basically needed large cargo pants or a purse.
If its the same price,id just assume own a PHYSICAL copy for my PSP thank you.
Maybe they figure bandwidth cost money to, but I still think the downloads should be cheaper than the UMD's because they aren't tangible.
If it was cheaper to download, retailers would be furious.
go to steam, the digital downloads there are routinely cheaper than the physical copy, and I'm talking about on day one of release. so rationalize all you want but, a psp with no optical drive is more expensive than one with the optical drive, and no price difference between the dd copy of a game and its physical counterpart, that sucks. the company is saving tons of money here while denying folks the opportunity to sell the game back, some one is getting screwed in this scenario, guess who.
