inal Fantasy XV is pretty much a cross between The Last Story and Dragon's Dogma, especially the latter. It's weird, since when I played DD I created a character that looked just like Noctis, down to having one red eye like in that trailer.
With all the ridiculous variety of characters you can make in DD, you made a character that looks like a FF lead?

Anyway, you'd better mean it when you say it's like DD, because I love DD but hated the recent FF games.

It must really suck for the ex Sony Liverpool guys who are getting fired a second time. Meanwhile Sony's Japanese studios enjoy continued job security even though they only release one game every ten years.

Having said that however, the whole DriveClub mess is just baffling. The whole gimmick for their game was a cheap copy of the Autolog system that Criterion pioneered years before, but somehow Evolution couldn't even get it working?

It's not like DD. It's also not like any recent FF games. The combat style bears a passing resemblance to Lightning Returns, but right now it genuinely seems to be doing its own thing, which is neat.

Aria has a much more streamlined control scheme, but SotN lets you do a lot more at once without needing to switch which souls you have equipped. Shame it doesn't let you swap between two sets like the sequel.

Well, that's unexpected. Dragon's Dogma: The Boy Band sounds like a lot more fun than I'd thought the game was gonna be. I would love some more Dragon's Dogma, though I can already tell I'm in for disappointment because they probably won't sing a J-pop rendition of Dangan Into Free in FFXV.

So much for that DriveClub sequel that I was really hoping for. The wording makes it sound like the game is down to a skeletal crew that is just making sure the servers are running.

Basically confirmation that Kojima is out sometime after Phantom Pain releases, if you read between the lines and vague wording:

You sent your PS4 to Sony, three months ago? It probably got lost or stolen.

That's cool, but they are nuts if they charge full price for God of war 3 remastered, a sp only game that's a few years old, already looks great on ps3, and is a game I bought for ten bucks almost a year ago.

Only thing that makes sense is the fact that for some reason a large number of PS4 owners never even owned a PS3/360/Wii, so these games are new to them.

It's not a non-issue, it would still have been a very long and labor-intensive process but clearly they had the resources and willingness to do it.

there's like zero reason to care about GoW anymore now that Bayonetta 2, Revengeance, and Dmc Definitive/4 Deluxe exist. I played the first 2 games but they are so relatively brainless that I have no desire to play any GoW ever again unless like, Platinum made it. Maybe they could work on remaking Godhand or Revengeance instead for PS4

God of War 3 was a lot of fun, despite the story being pretty meh and the last act falling really flat. Not worth rebuying for but if you haven't played it before playing in 1080p/60fps will be a real treat for the eyes.

Its much closer to a slowed down non-Disney Kingdom Hearts than it is Dragon's Dogma.

Which considering XV was Versus-XIII which was supposed to be Final Hearts Fantasy originally, makes sense.

I have fond memories of God of War 3 but I'd only buy this remaster if it was priced sensibly at $15. I guess we now know the real reason that console manufacturers didn't want to give us backwards compatibility in the PS4/XB1, Sony & Microsoft must be making a fortune off rereleasing old games. I'd have rather paid an extra $50-$100 for a backwards-compatible PS4 with the Cell processor inside, much like they put the PS2 processor in PS3s to enable hardware BC.

I think we can at least all agree that Red Dead Redemption is never gonna be ported anywhere, ever. It would be too much of a good thing.

Honestly I'm still happy with that, as I enjoy the combat system in Kingdom Hearts. Especially BbS.

Considering the original 2010 PS3 release had an already average framerate well into the 40s it'll be insane if the 2015 PS4 release isn't 100% 60fps.

The reason is still what it was when the PS3 removed the PS2 backwards compatibility, it would cost more money to make and thus be more expensive to buy. Obviously that is not a compelling selling point anymore.

The official announcement for the God of War 3 remaster is up on the PlayStation Blog and it's a physical release. There goes any hope for it being a sensibly-priced downloadable game, I guess.

Sorry to wank over the wireless headset but goddamn, the sound is utterly perfect. Maybe this is because I've never really had surround sound outside of a cinema but it's really loving with my head to hear things zipping about in a 3D space rather than just from a couple of dinky speakers. Even my PC headphones didn't have this. :v:

They need to stop doing these PS3 remasters and go back to the best PS2 games and remaster THOSE. At least we would have a chance at 1080/60 with those.

This isn't even worth the remaster. The game was the definition of a launch window showcase game. It is short, shallow, and all of its mechanics are super wonky. I hope they fix it, add content and price it below $60.

I'm looking forward to a 6 year console generation of recycled games.

Yeah, it was an interesting game on the Vita, but that was because it was an open-world game on a handheld, but it wasn't exactly meaty or anything. It's fun enough, but I don't exactly see it flying off the shelves as a remaster for consoles.
