| Landguy said: I am still stunned at the reaction to this. Not sure that anyone acting this way is actually following video games. A kickstarter announcement? A title that they have been making for years? and a multiplat remake? Yet, people lost their shit at just the idea of them. All three are good to great things, but in of themselves, they were not all big actual surprises. |
What? These are three titles that are, to varying degrees, are constantly being rumored to be in the works and announced at things like E3, Gamescom, even PSX. Sony has shown nothing of the Last Guardian for so long, most of us gave up hope it'd actually be finished despite Shuhei & others saying otherwise.
Square put up stupid stipulations over how or when they'd even consider remaking FF7, doing everything short of it (sequel movie, prequel & spinoff games, sticking Cloud in all sorts of odd games); it really looked like Square was too intimidated to touch what some consider a masterpiece. (I consider it a great game mired in primitive LEGO graphics, midi-quality music, chunky old FMV, and a very rough translation.).
And Shenmue 3? A pipe dream. What should have been an amazing trilogy was cut short - with a cliffhanger - by a crippling budget on a struggling platform. I still can't believe #3 will exist.
| Sony won the show with the shell game. They had nothing important to show, so they announced the dreams list to grab the headlines. |
The list of what Sony has coming in 2015 and didn't bother to show is ridiculous, including a few titles that would have been gladly shown at either MS or Nintendo's (namely Dragon Quest Heroes, Persona 5 & Disgaia 5). Aside from No Man's Sky (which is still a black box in some regards) and a few multiplats, they made a conscious decision to focus on 2016 and beyond. Hell, they didn't even show all of what they've got coming early 2016.
