So thanks The real spoiler here is hearing it before you hear it in-game. And also, tip: when you get new types of weapons after you reach the middle point, don't be afraid to switch them around a little. Spears are fun and can make you travel 2.5 times faster.

I said come in! posted:Looking at the screenshots on Steam, this looks like a bloom/HDR effects tech demo, only abused to extreme levels so the entire game looks really ugly. Well if ever there was a way to judge a game, it's based on screenshots!  I'm giving you a hard time, sorry, but the game itself is surprisingly decent. They pretty much nailed the whole Apocalypse Now/Heart of Darkness vibe, and there are moments that are genuinely hosed up -- to the point where once I hit about the middle of the game and something happened, I would have shut off the game if I wasn't reviewing it. Leave it to Germans to sort of nail the whole "war is hell" thing, and while it's undeniably heavy-handed and the mechanics are a little sloppy, the intent certainly comes through. I had to wait until today to figure out how the multiplayer is going (seriously, I understand the rush to get reviews up, but why are there reviews up if the multiplayer was a ghost town for the past week?), but overall the game is a solid rental.

That makes perfect sense to me as far as a good PR answer that lets them answer the question without saying "we're not going to remake it because then you'll realize how loving stupid it is," which we all know is the real answer.

I don't think Square-Enix really can weasel out of it on a "this poo poo's retarded" clause. They made The 3rd Birthday. The time for feigning ignorance on stupid plot is long past for them.

If appeasing your fanbase is "remaking old games again and again" then gently caress the fans. If you want to replay old Final Fantasy games there are numerous ways to go about it now. Make new games.

Why the heck is there a Dust 514 "Mercenary Pack" -$19.99 available on PSN today? The goddamn beta isn't even out till Friday. [edit] Holy poo poo, 20 bucks grants you access to the beta like THREE DAYS EARLY. I don't know whether to laugh, cry, or grab my credit card. gently caress. [edit] again, Apparently it gives you Access starting Thursday. It's money that gets you like 50 bucks worth of in-game stuff. It may or may not be refunded to you (or given credit in non-beta game.) But I'm confused I thought Dust 514's beta started Friday the 29th. Feenix fucked around with this message at 22:49 on Jun 26, 2012 |

Playstation Plus members, next week these games will no longer be free: North American region: Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown Zombie Apocalypse: Never Die Alone Hard Corps: Uprising mini Kaleidoscope European region: Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown Ricochet HD Hamsterball Wakeboarding HD Magic Orbz Smash Cars Sky Fighter Mushroom Wars Mahjong Tales: Ancient Wisdom Remember: the games obtained for free will still work as long as you're subscribed to Playstation Plus, and you can download the games from the store again after they have been taken out of the free section, as long as they are still in your download list and/or have the red bag icon on the store listing. Neither region have revealed what new free games will come in July. Most likely, that information will come next week.

Yeah, I hate to be one of "those people," but if they released an HD version of FF12 I would finally go ahead and just get rid of my PS2. I supposed I'd settle for a PS2 classics version, but an HD US release of the "International" version would be completely tits.

I played some of the Dust 514 beta and taking into account all the problems associated with betas and such, I still think it's a terrible game. Kudos to them for going free to play and having really deep customization, but the core gameplay just isn't even remotely enjoyable at all in my opinion. I think as far as MMOFPS games on the PS3 go, MAG completely and utterly blows it out of the water. Having said that however, the more I see of Planetside 2 the more incredible it looks. I really would love to see that game come to PS3 and if not, Sony should push the PS4 out as soon as possible with that game as a launch title.

Final Fantasy 7 wouldn't even be like alot of the HD collections. Most of those are the exact game with the resolutions upped and, in the best case scenario, the textures redone. FF7 would have to be a remake, at least visually, from the ground up. The thing with FF7 was it was all about the spectacle at the time. It told a giant story with graphics that were beyond alot of what was out there. Now the game looks like poo poo and the gameplay in JRPGs has really moves on and, really, even despite that gameplay-wise is was one of the least interesting FF games. It could use an injection of spectacle again because people that didn't play it back then aren't gonna be the least bit impressed by it now. Though for Square remaking FF7 is a no win situation. If they leave the gameplay as is, it'll emphasize how underwhelming it was and people will assume they hosed something up. If they change it the purest will be pissed and never shut up about how Square hosed things up. It'll make a poo poo load of money in the short run but it's almost destined to not be liked by most of it's target audience.

While I don't think there'll be many takers since even the PS+ discount is more expensive than walking into GameStop or wherever to get the physical disk, they added 1 and 2 to the full game trial list so you could download it and try it out that way.

I am fairly convinced that 90% of the people who like FFVII like a game they remember that doesn't exist. If they did a photorealistic version of all the insane cartoony poo poo that was in FFVII, it would be completely ridiculous, and I think people forget that stuff exists.

Also I think they're less hesitant for crowd pleasing reasons and more for feasibility reasons. They mentioned earlier last year that it would just be too expensive to "remake" because they'd have to literally build the entire game from scratch. It wouldn't be like the infinite ports of IV and such where they can do some sprite ripping or whatever it would be on par with making like two FFXIII 2s or something (remember this was when FF still had an overworld you could walk around and many more towns and places to check out and explore). While they're SquareEnixEidoswhatever now, the extent to which Spirits Within bombed and the amount of money they blew on it hurts them even to this day. Around the time of its release and the years leading up to it were probably the only time a remake of something of FFVII's scale would have been possible. I remember after Spirits Within came out and died, the quarterly report right after, the company's new direction was very literally "remake prior games infinitely, release lots of FFVII merchandise and spinoffs infinitely." So far they've stayed the course.
