Kawazu is a living legend. Square Enix are probably just thankful the guy doesn't force through costly vanity projects and instead just wants remasters and the occasional new game that costs 500 dollars to make.

I can only imagine that this SE announcement means they no longer feel the need to funnel money into fringe projects and are confident in their ability to develop the games they want to make and can't afford to have fail. Don't know what was cancelled but can't imagine it being anything anyone would care deeply about, although I do love fresh new IP and mediocre games. Frees up dev staff to start spinning up some exciting projects tho

human revolution was inoffensive but you could kinda see the writing on the wall playing with the dev commentary and 90% of it is "i thought i had a good idea but it didnt really work at all" and "we wanted to have this big cool thing here but it ran against our schedule" and then it was kinda sealed with dishonored coming out a bit later and doing all the cool gameplay poo poo human revolution was too scared to do

otoh insanely funny that human revolution is like. the most early 2010s video game narrative. sad grizzleman's long lonely journey to find out his kidnapped wife was actually loving some other guy you killed two minutes ago the whole time and also we wrote in a tracer tong cameo that makes no sense and has no thematic or character purpose beyond implying that one quote tracer tong said to jc was a quote prequelman said to him, for, some reason idk why is adam more versed in chinese proverbs than the chinese guy

I'm not a business expert but that seems to suggest that if anyone's concerned for the future of the HD-2D games (Octopath especially) or the FF7 remake trilogy, those are probably not what they're talking about.

my general feel with deus ex though is that the original game was really dumb fun in a way no game since has been willing to be. deus ex is too caught up in the image of being serious and important and deep now so half of human revolution's writing was people making really dumb philosophical statements at each other without even talking like a drunk guy with an implacable accent. we have taken all the fun out of deus ex also being a game about fighting hypermuscular russian robots with a laser sword while running at 200mph and shooting attack drones from your eyes

I remember hearing tracks from HR directly in a movie trailer a few years after release. It does have one technoish banger for the club in the Hong Kong segment.

i will forever curse whoever decided human revolution should not only not provide you upgrades that let you hop halfway across the earth but also decided they should give you an upgrade that slows your fall speed but doesn't actually give you control while you're falling so you can't like, pull off slowfall noscopes, you just have to watch adam do a dumb canned animation every time. dont rip away my control in a first person game for no reason! deus ex 1 would've let me do that!

Also to get to fast travel in Hundred Heroes should be one button press instead of two (local map, world map) Sometimes it feels like games like this they never get anyone to playtest it, you just have the same people who are in from the very start and get used to it being finicky. It's not a big deal it's just...why? I'm doing this thing OVER AND OVER make it just one button!

i could see being into human revolution's more limited movement options if the game had more going on to make like, slow and deliberate gameplay interesting, but it's not any deeper than the other games and has a lot of new control issues so i think it ends up being a wash

The article specifically discusses that they want to outsource fewer games and focus on their in-house development studios for console games. That is pretty unabashedly about stuff like Foamstars, not FF7R. "We're outsourcing less because FF7R underperformed" makes no sense.

FM1 is underwhelming but functional. It mostly plays just like it did back on the Super Famicom, but with better graphics and camera work. FM2 has the worst English translation Square-Enix (or Square or Enix) has ever released. I cannot recommend it. I keep hearing rumors about this game getting a newer translation, though.

if they want to do more with octopath they probably will do it cause both octopath games have sold well and gotten good reviews. octopath is a low budget franchise that is worth investing in. it will not cost them 140 million us dollars

It’s a functional remake of an Ancient Front Mission game. It’s fine, it’s just dated and the remake visuals are kinda ugly.

Human Revolution had a good groundwork with some dire rear end problematic elements to make a good sequel which didn't happen but did give us Deus Ex Go which while the weakest of the Go Trilogy was still pretty good so it was worth it.

It also has a mobile game which appears at least moderately successful. Honestly if I had to guess what significant things are likely to get backburnered: Tri-Ace stuff (Star Ocean, Valkyrie, etc) are probably close to the cutting block if not on it. At very least I expect them to go smaller like the remake rather than another big console one. Dragon Quest isn't going anywhere but I think they may be more selective with stuff like Treasure/Infinite Strash/etc I feel like stuff like Harvestella or Diofield is probably going to fall into a grey zone where it's low budget enough to have a chance but I imagine it's a slim one. More proven successes like Octopath or even Triangle Strategy are probably at least somewhat safe. Honestly the biggest takeaway from this is probably that Tri-Ace is going to have a rough time considering they were already hemorrhaging money before Divine Force came out and it looks like they were barely involved with the SO2R.

the most cowardly thing about human revolution was them leaning into the yellow filter by making a joke of having yellow paint cans littering the world to imply everyone painted the world yellow. but then they just removed the yellow filter later. so now there's a bunch of yellow paint cans for no reason!

I can't speak for the original, but all the party members in 3 Reload work on both a story and mechanical level. They all stand out in combat and they all get narrative spotlight provided you engage with their social hangouts. Looking back, I realise how nasty the crew from 4 could get. Namely the bully and the homophobe. I don't question SEES's hiring standards by putting a ten year old orphan in the field, since they already let a dog and a robot join. I definitely wouldnt play without a general guide since there so many events flags that would trip you up. Like a quest-giver asking for a potato that takes two weeks to grow. Or the girl who goes missing in Tartarus two days before the deadline. I can't fathom the sort of person who'd replay these games. Moon Kid still awful.

I’m just confused by the mention of event flags and then referencing to optional side quests that have no bearing on social links or the plot and are very easy to handle.
