A reputable dutch distributor e-mailed in to let Maxconsole know about some strange events going on in the Netherlands. Big corporate retail chains such as Dixons (Netherlands) have had to send back ALL their PSPs to a big Sony warehouse, an in return they will receive a new batch of 'unflashable' PSP units. Poor game sales in the region are seen as the main reason for Sony conducting this operation. However, the distributor notes that this is a nationwide approach from Sony, and it is possible that there is 100% NO STOCK of PSPs across mainstream stores in Netherlands.
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.
PSP REDESIGN. They are using this as an exuse. Stores are letting all the stocks they have on the PSP go to get a "new" batch.
PSP redesign please be true, I hope this indicates the Netherlands will get it first (I live in the Netherlands).
Maybe I'm overexagerating but I really want a PSP redesign so that I can finally get a PSP.
Why do they try so hard to stop the homebrew? It's not helping them sell units for a lot like the PSP for the homebrew... I understand they want to sell more software but as they have been saying for the past week they need better games for it.
*I know I know it has good games for it now but none that define the PSP or that weren't already great on the PS2.
i thought i was the only one from the netherlands in these forums! glad i was wrong ;)
Everyone I know with a PSP has their PSP hacked of any kind. Yeah, we Dutch love free stuff.
When the news hits here we'll still keep ours in fact thet will
still sell them prob cheaper just to rid them. Here comes the new ones,
i wondered why crisis core will be made diff and drop so late too.
