The last time they remastered a game from just one console generation prior it was The Last of Us (lol) and at least in that case the game ran pretty poorly on the PS3 and could actually hit 1080p and 60fps on the PS4, so it was a marked upgrade. Horizon Zero Dawn can already be played at 4k and 60fps on the PS5. What's a remaster going to add? Marginally better lighting? The weird hair physics from Forbidden West?

It almost certainly will. Every mainline Final Fantasy is currently playable on PC. It'd be very weird for FFXVI to never make its way there. It'll probably be roughly a year between the PS5 and PC releases.

Both non-Nintendo consoles seem to be positioning themselves more as cheaper alternatives to a powerful gaming PC more than a place where you play games you can't play anywhere else, it's just that Microsoft is doing that intentionally (and has been for a few years now, they don't care if you have an Xbox or not as long as you subscribe to GamePass) while Sony seems to be just... ending up there. But it also doesn't seem like it's hurting them. It's not like demand for the PS5 has let up. Just an interesting and weird situation.

One thing about the lack of first-party development for the PS5 is that one of the PS5's big features is its controller, with lots of unique features that basically no third-party is ever going to implement in a multiplatform game. Pretty much only first-party games are ever going to make use of that kind of thing and they're just not there.

It's hypothetically possible if they get multiple teams up and running and also the games are much more similar to one another than the three Witcher games, like if they're all built on the same basic framework like the three Assassin's Creed Ezio games or something it could happen. But it seems pretty unlikely

When I had COVID my girlfriend’s dad dropped off a McDonald’s vanilla shake for me and for some reason, in that moment, it was the best thing I’d ever tasted. Not a great milkshake by any objective measure but it made my throat stop burning for just a little bit and tasted sweet and pleasant and for a short time I felt like I might not die Milkshakes are good, is my main thesis here

On the one hand, that's the same price range as the Xbox Elite Controllers so the price isn't raising my eyebrows compared to what it's competing with, assuming it offers comparable features. On the other hand, lmao (also the Xbox Elite Controllers have terrible quality control, don't make my mistake and get one and then your RB stops working at exactly the time the warranty expires, and also don't get Sony's version either)

RIP to the original PC version of Dark Souls https://twitter.com/DarkSoulsGame/status/1584821064420716544?s=20&t=qIZWnSqY1xaqj3NKeyVPCg This isn't a huge shock--they're not even selling that version anymore--but still, end of an era. The remaster will still have its servers brought back but the original Prepare to Die Edition is offline forever. Not quite as sad as when the PS3 Demon's Souls servers went down.

Hell yeah I wanna see Veeg play a SaGa game one of these days SaGa Frontier is my favorite but I feel like Romancing SaGa Minstrel Song is probably more approachable. Luckily by the time he might get around to it they'll both have readily available remasters to play

SaGa games are one of the JRPG deep ends. There are several different "deep ends" in the JRPG pool and they don't necessarily intersect. Lots of bigtime JRPG fans don't vibe with SaGa even as they dive happily into other weird or niche JRPGs (and vice versa). You gotta be okay with a game that's going to tell you only a portion of what you should probably know to succeed, will actively reject your attempts to follow a linear storyline (especially SaGa Frontier, multiple scenarios will just punch you straight in the face if you try to just follow the story), will make side quests appear and disappear for seemingly no reason at all (and once you do know the reason it'll just make you go  ), where sometimes they gently caress with the skill learning formulas just because even the designers don't want to know how it works.For some people, like me, that list of features is straight-up jolly and these games are an endless font of joy. For others, they're just obtuse, hair-pulling experiences that make you long for how understandable Dark Souls NPC quests are by comparison. When I recommend SaGa games I usually lead with the weird because if someone hears about how the skill system designer in SaGa Frontier changed values so even he wouldn't understand how it works and goes "lol that owns," that probably means they'll have a good time. And if they hear that story and go "what the hell that sounds like Bad Game Design" then they can safely disregard my recommendation, no harm, no foul. The series does vary pretty widely when it comes to how obtuse it is. Romancing SaGa Minstrel Song is pretty approachable (unless you're trying to 100% it, hahaha have fun learning about event rank!!!) while SaGa Frontier can be really obtuse, and then it keeps going even further and you get games like Unlimited SaGa that even most SaGa fans look at and say "hey what the gently caress" Harrow fucked around with this message at 15:57 on Oct 27, 2022 |

Last Celebration posted:SaGa post-Gameboy really just feels like a JRPG trying to be a Western RPG*, with how the games are largely mostly pretty open and the story can vary wildly with some poo poo like Romancing SaGa 2 having entire scenarios play out completely differently depending on when you found them. Interestingly I think there's a good amount of crossover between SaGa and Souls games, which your Western RPG comparison made me think about. They're very different kinds of games, obviously, but there's like a shared design ethos there. Hidetaka Miyazaki has talked about how one of the inspirations for Souls games is how he used to read fantasy books in English wen he was younger and only understand portions, having to fill in the rest with his imagination. He wanted to capture that feeling in his games. The SaGa games also capture a similar feeling. If the obtuse or obscure parts of Souls games are a source of joy more than frustration for someone, they'll probably have a good time with SaGa, too.

VideoGames posted:Also I have no knowledge of them whatsoever other than their names have a capitalised G. I cannot even tell you which one Harrow told me I should play I probably recommended SaGa Frontier but honestly with the Romancing SaGa Minstrel Song remaster coming out soon, I might recommend that one as a first SaGa instead. I personally like Frontier better--it has an absolutely wild and really creative setting and I like how freeform it is--but RS Minstrel Song is definitely more approachable upfront. Either one would be great, though. It's basically down to whether you're more excited about a 2D game with an oddball science-fantasy setting and light narrative, or a 3D one with a more traditional fantasy setting and a bit more direction in the story. (Also FYI most SaGa games are pretty short but meant to be played multiple times so when you do get around to one, I'd recommend doing at least two playthroughs with different main characters to see how things are different. SaGa Frontier especially has seven entirely separate main stories, each one being like 10 hours long or so, and it's worth playing them all.)

Also Veeg when you do play SaGa Frontier don't hesitate to pop into the SaGa thread and ask for help if you need it, especially with things like "how does this skill learning system work" and "what the heck is going on with monster party members" We've got a few people--like me--with weirdly encyclopedic knowledge of the game who are all to happy to talk about the game forever

There's always a way out of a situation like that without having to start over but a new player probably wouldn't know where to look and it can get kinda frustratingThough with Veeg's luck he'll probably neatly pirouette around that entirely and somehow be the only person in the world to finish Riki's scenario and not have invented a new curse word along the way

Hell yeah!! fridge corn posted:Harrow, accounting for my rekindled love for SaGa games, what SaGa game would you recommend I play next given that I've only ever played (or attempted to play) Frontier 1 and 2...??? If you want one right now, SaGa Scarlet Grace is really fun. Really stripped-down presentation but one of the coolest battle systems around and it's surprisingly funny, too. If you can wait a month or so, Romancing SaGa Minstrel Song's getting a remaster that'll probably be pretty good, going by the SaGa remaster track record. It's the only other SaGa game I've sunk as much time into as Frontier. Pretty different (more standard medieval fantasy setting, characters all have the same main story but different things along the way, and there's a class system) but it's really good.
