Bad comparison. Episode VII is a new entry; a direct sequel. Not a "mish mash" or "remake" or whatever

It's both a direct sequel and a pastiche of the other films, which is done in film plenty.

I'm saying it isn't a remake the same way SFZ isn't a remake.

It's a very similar film, and you should be able to recognize that.

Well, I would hope Star Wars Episode VII would be similar to Episodes I, II, III, IV, V, and VI.

Yup, the Air Dodge has absolute priority. Get that as soon as possible.

Also don't dodge five times in a row unless you want to be a sitting duck during a fight.

We should be talking about the "graphically intensive" PS4 3rd party game that has been confirmed for the NX. Yay Nintendo is going to get rear end Creed 18 or whatever they're up to these days.

Or Batman, Arkham Janitor.

So when PS5 comes out you just plug a new module into your NX to match it, is that the gist?

Could be. But it seems like the console draws processing power from the portable handhelds.

It means that it might be a console that shares a processing load with other consoles, FAU.

Remember when the PS3 first came out and Sony said the CELL processor would be in everything and the more there were around the faster your console would get?

All of Persona's fan base is on a Sony platform it's been that way for 20 something years now.

The only persona related game to appear outside of a Sony platform was Persona Q. And many argue that it wasn't a real persona game because it was a first person dungeon game and was also bad.

Also the Vita is certainly in a much better position than the Wii-U. It's much cheaper to develop for and the amount of anime games that make Tenacious D references greatly exceeds the number on the wii-u.

That and All the good Vita games can be played on the PSTV now and the PSTV is only 40 bucks at this point and you don't even need to buy a memorycard right off the bat. Seriously the system is cheaper than some of the games, Persona 4 Golden, Trails of Cold Steel, Ys: MOC, DR 1 and 2, the version of VLR that won't crash, etc. The 40 dollar entry bar is so ungodly low for such high quality games.

It's a real bad idea especially if you lose the handheld part or break it.

*sony releases standard traditional videogame console which goes on to be the best selling of the generation and exceeds all units sold from both Microsoft and Nintendo*


Nintendo Exec: Wait we can't make the NX a normal videogame system. Somebody add something cumbersome to it! Yes a detachable handheld that is central to the console functioning, set the launch price to 500 dollars!


*November 18th NX Launch Day*

Nintendo Exec: Wait how are we not selling units? Why are people buying 200 dollar PS4's to play DLC to Dark Souls 3???? The NX is well over double the price of a new PS4, that means it's certainly double the quality!!!!!

*the following year Zelda is the first Nintendo game to get a multi-platform release and the PC version mysteriously does not function*

Looking at all the Nintendo cry babies who tried playing Monster Hunter and the first few hours of Xenoblade X, a Souls game would kill their fan base.

Guys, I agree with jivjov about Star Wars. Episode 7's similarities to Episode 4 mirror the cyclical nature of that entire story. Episode 1 -> Episode 4 -> Episode 7. Every sub-trilogy begins with a youth on a lovely desert planet who gets whisked off on a space adventure and becomes a Jedi.

It's disingenuous to argue that Episode 7 is a remake of Episode 4 with some characters swapped out because: it's not, and even if it were more similar, it's thematically very different. Luke really only starts having his poo poo together when they rescue Leia, and lacks agency outside of being usually the audience's point-of-view character, whereas Rey is basically in charge from the get-go, and only really compromises on her own decisions out of a sense of personal moral conflict. Furthermore, despite being the one who gets whisked off of a lovely desert world, she's more of a Han Solo analogue than a Luke/Anakin analogue, since she's the one who drives the bus and has the elevated survival instinct. There is no Obi-Wan here, unless you want to assign Finn as like a reverse Obi-Wan who keeps things moving accidentally by way of blundering into things... which really makes him more like a Good Jar Jar? I am not comfortable comparing Finn to Jar Jar because Finn is a precious treasure.

Anyway, I appreciated how all the rebel officers in Force Awakens wore a uniform that was just Han Solo cosplay. That is my Star Wars talk and jivjov defense Power Paragraph.
