Best remake of 2020 so far...

in Gaming Discussion on 07 May 2020

HoloDust said: Black Mesa, Valve approved fan remake of Half Life 1...technically it released for the first time back in 2012 as a mod (now it's full release on Steam), but it was only finished fully this year, with reworked and improved Xen section of the game (which is last part of HL1). Although I'd probably still vote for FFVII remake if Black Mesa were in the poll, Black Mesa is...

Hynad said: TruckOSaurus said: Yeah, I'm currently going through hard mode and leveling my weapons and materia and it's getting pretty clear that they won't be able to have everything carry over because you can get very OP. On the other hand, it would really suck (and make no sense) to start from scratch when Part II comes around. One solution would be a hard mode available from...

Of these, 446 test responses were approved.Sending out samples to randomly selected people, good!But it's not random anymore when only half the people return the sample, lot of room for bias to creep in there.446 sample size is rather small to make any accurate statement over 1.22 million people.The average...

StokedUp said: shikamaru317 said: The trailer already gives you some idea of that. We hear Alfred saying that vikings murder and kill blindly during a scene of some vikings purposefully sparing a woman and child that cross their path. We hear Alfred talking about how bad they are, but see a scene of vikings playing with their children. So Ubisoft are basically going...

JWeinCom said: Scoobes said: I can pretty much pick out the sentence that made Hynad think "meltdown" as: "Then there were those changes that are best described as Kingdom Hearts bullshit." The "Kingdom Hearts bullshit" line tends to be used as a pretty lazy criticism because there are other possibilities that haven't been explored with this assumption that they're going heavy...

People are speculating but no direct answers were given by the developers, and even the ones who wrote the Ultimania book are asking questions and speculating and the devs only give vague answers or say that things will be explained in the...

[SPOILER] Final Fantasy VII Remake - Story discussion and comparison with original

in Gaming Discussion on 01 May 2020

Is there a reason this thread never really got started? Surely there's a lot of people who have completed it now? Anyway, I loved the remake. Pretty much everything worked for me. The voice acting breathed new life into once beloved characters, the backstories of characters like Jessie and Biggs just added to the tragedy of it all and the combat system is the best I've played in a JRPG......

Final Fantasy VII Remake Angry Joe Review!

in Gaming Discussion on 01 May 2020

The Fury said: Scoobes said: Honestly, the battle system in the remake is probably one of the best I've played in a JRPG for a long time and certainly the best in the series. Yes, it's real-time (I'd argue semi-turn-based) but the actual strategy and depth of it amazes me. The button mashing is solely a method (one of a few) to fill up the ATB, abilities are unique to each...

Even more when they look at how much the old were selling and how the sales are trending now. How much is those sales based on name and expectation? I'm on websites like this, I look and know what I expect from Final Fantasy and saw what they were doing...

The_Liquid_Laser said: The Fury said: Both true, and luckily, even though I would say FF12 isn't as FF as other titles, it's still a superb game as it was made by the Ivalice team (who don't exist anymore sadly). The merge was the start of things going down hill, I have always known that but I do find it strange that they aren't trying to look at why 6-10 heyday was so good and...

Final Fantasy VII Remake Angry Joe Review!

in Gaming Discussion on 30 April 2020

The Fury said: The_Liquid_Laser said: Two things changed. 1) Sakaguchi left (the FF creator), and 2) Squaresoft became Square-Enix. I believe development on FF X started before either of these things happened which is why it is such a good game. The games haven't been the same since. I even like, to varying degrees, some of the FF games that came later, but...

The Fury said: Save time on development? But they have everything done, battle system, sound track, character models. Just got to create, settings, get voice actors back in to record new dialogue and then the actual rest of FF7, as in the main plot, not Midgar which was basically just setting the scene in the original and wasn't important.

A203D said: shikamaru317 said: Yeah, I also expect them to release Part 1 on Xbox One, Xbox Series, PC, and PS5 1 year from now, since we know it is 1 year timed exclusive. So we probably will have to wait 2 years for part 2. If it is a 2 year wait, I hope it is suitably large, only going from say Kalm to Mt. Corei after a 2 year wait would be disappointing, and mean that this...
