Sony and Kojimas method of drip-feeding the info on this game is not for everyone i suppose.
Some may enjoy the idea of fully experiencing the game due to it's very low media exposure and some prefer to know what they're getting themeselves when purchasing this game.
Unpopular opinion but i enjoyed the second and third game.
The third one had a decent mix of ATB and action. That, and running around in clouds clothes along with the buster sword with a character nicknamed female cloud in the gaming community felt positively strange.
Cool, but there is no PS4 version so there's that. Guess it wont matter much, porting it over to the ps4 only to have Sony butcher it is a waste of time and resources.
Sony clearly didn't give a big enough sh** with this one. It needed dualshocks and need some of the more hidden games that so many were fond of back then like Vib Ribbon, Tomba, Einhander, Um Jammer Lammy and Incredible Crisis.
And Sony is never going sit down and write a proper PS2 emulator for a potential PS2 Classic, now that's a bigger crime.
I wonder if they'll keep the humor and the less serious tone the trailer from 2014 showed.
We already have Dying Light 2 for that more gritty serious zombie experience with a bigger focus story. And since there is no new Dead Rising on the horizon, Dead Island 2 should really aim for the more fun side in killing zombies.
A remake that looks and plays similar to the original. Now this i like.
Maybe because i don't put Kojima on a pedestal ?
Maybe because since MGSV, im more wary of his involvement in video games ?
Or maybe it's easier to be sceptical and not assume everything is going to be fine. When it turns out it's fine and the game itself justifies it's current hyped up status i can stop being sceptical and if not, i won't be as dissapointed.
Does this answer your question ?
Delay incoming. That or a very rushed ending.
They didn't. Technically.
It's very obviously a timed exclusive for PS and to be released later for other systems.
The original only stayed exclusive for around a year and couple of months until the PC version hit the stores.
A lot excitement around SSD.
Yet, i feel it has more to do with optimization and not just bigger and better HW to solve their issues.
Im almost certain the PS4 still has a lot of untapped potential if the devs would spend more time developing around the HW itself instead of treating it like a PC.
The game may not be a graphical masterpiece but what matter most is how it plays.
How about something more substantial.
Where does part 1 end ?
After the Motorball boss fight or before it ? seeing as part 1 is entirely focused on midgar having it end right after you leave midgar seesm more appropriate.
How will progression be handled ? Will you be able to level up to 99 and carry over your stats for part 2 ?
Will materia be able to reach levels 2 and 3 ? or will they set up a lock for everything and unlock once a new...
Because video games.
Because sitting on your ass playing video games is not a sport.
Because playing video games is not on the same level as actual physical sports such as soccer and hockey or any other physical activity that requires you to actually get out of your DXRacer.
Sounds nice and all but how about a JRPG from Japan Studio ?
Please Sony, give them the budget and the chance to make a grand next-gen JRPG. We can't always rely on Falcom/Level-5/Namco/Square Enix to announce their next game.
Look at Nintendo and Monolith soft, can't you divert a bit of your success and funds towards Japan Studio or try to build a JRPG focused studio from ground up ?
Oh and bring back MAG please !
Yet another game struck with the online-only curse.
It's ok Ubisoft, the fans aren't actually looking forward to this.
If they do continue, it's because they're banking on new players who most likely never touched the original to support it, cuz' the actual fans sure as hell ain't.
A fool and his money are soon parted....
Yeah good idea, let's keep blue-ballling the ones looking forward to this game.
Right looks like your typical anime moeblob design. Not suprised really.
And yet the original still exists. It did not magically vanish with the announcement of this remake.
Keeping it turn based would not have prevented the articles from lambasting SE for not letting go of a 20+ year old combat system and appealing to nostalgia.
And it wont prevent so called opinion pieces when it reads far more like a sensational hit piece like "Final Fantasy is dead to me and Persona sits on its grave" designed to pull in clicks.
...
Im hoping for some materia customization footage for FF7 and hopefully a confirmation on where part 1 ends.
This is a long shot but a very small next-gen teaser of FF XVI with Yoshi-P on the helm would be really cool.
