Horse armour part 2?

@twitchtvpat where in my sentence did I state Sony owned them? Someone made a decision and the rest are affected. That was my point..

Always the way. Bigwigs make teams do remakes and live service games and when they fail, they close them down. Typical poor judgement by the higher ups, affecting people's jobs. One of many more due to come id imagine.

Love my deck too. Honestly, just fantastic. I'm surprised they haven't pushed it to other online retailers.

For me, with generic steam content, PS5 cloud streaming and Xbox cloud streaming (and EPIC connections) it's very versatile.

Made for the deck this one. Looks really good.

Touch wood this makes them commit further to the HD-2D remakes and start getting the old FF titles into a similar fashion.

Make it happen Enix.

Loved the original NG's used to replay them so often. Shame it's not the first as I loved that game so much.

Let it all burn.
On a more sensible note though, I hope it doesn't effect the development teams jobs.

I said from day one that this was a bad idea. Anything live service is, such a huge risk as not all games even make a success, and they were banking on it all. They could have employed me as an advisor and would have saved them billions. Haha

The reality is, this is Marvel based. Has a huggggee following already, comparing this with something Sony might release is rather pointless. They'll make a live service game around something that most people wouldn't have a clue about/ it could be a new IP. Marvel has a following of people who aren't gamers, so those fans might shift to the game to just play as all their favourites.

So no, this doesn't mean Sony should continue, maybe they should look at how many have actually been successful.

It was ok. Didn't leave an impact as much as the first one unfortunately. I don't think this one will be as well remembered.

@rjejr yeah Argos is your typical, order and collect service, everything behind in a storeroom. John Lewis is too expensive and very high end. Think of expensive brands from clothes, house goods e.c.t. so people probably won't mention then unless then have cash to burn. Haha

@rjejr John Lewis are actually very well known for their 7 year electronic guarantees, huge electrical section. EE not so much, but have become very well known due to their add on stance. Buy a phone and add a PS5 for £20pm extra.

So while it's a point, I'd probably not use it with these two. Maybe Very or Argos..

They literally should have shared that cash out to every playstation owner. Would have been the same outcome (except some very happy fans) haha

Literally the reason I bought the original Xbox when my playstation broke. But like others have said, it's now a grave of a series. Bungie was the reason it was so good.

I'm sure there's people out there that has them. Why Im not quite sure as of yet. But I can grab one for £800 so they are more readily available here. Still, we are many many years away seeing 8K content. Christ, 4K still isn't even fully adopted.

I just never understood why the huge change of direction for the series. Could have been so much more! See Doom.

always a controversial topic.. I think most people will decide based on the game they played first and what generated the most memories for them. I loved the batch of games they released in the 90's, FF7 being my first and will also be my favourite due to those memories, but FF8 is defiantly up there for me, it's completely underrated and probably ahead of it's time back then - most got lost with the story, but if that was released now, it might prove to be more popular. the biggest selling point of FF8 is the music though, such a great score.

Honestly, the only people suffering here are the developers, they all probably knew if would be a difficult sell to the public (considering previous games) it's a very hit or miss style of game in which very few actually become huge hits. Those Devs will most likely be out of a job now due to the big wigs probably forcing them to make it. Just another Rocksteady situation.

When will these VP's learn that no one wants more of these games.

A remake of something would have had more success, and that says alot

Na no diversive at all. He was absolutely GOAT. Hopefully there's multiple unlocks! Maybe the white ranger too. Loved the series as a kid.

Too many hero shooters going on. They would have 100% had a better chance if they decided to use this game, but add a small campaign along with it - i.e Titanfall 2, the first was just MP, but they expanded it and it had more substance. Surely by now, these companies have realised that the majority do not want Gaas...

Haven't booted up in months, why would I invest in something that has no decent upcoming games? Makes no sense.

Great game, I'm not expecting anything drastic here and I'd imagine we could expect a similar game to the original but with spruced up graphics (a bit like the fan remake that was done) I don't think real time would suit the game and it definitely needs a specific type of visual due to the original art style. hopefully it's turn based.

@UltimateOtaku91 as soon as I read this I thought the exact same thing. It's a good approach to semi-open world. Worked well for 16, so hopefully the same here.

Wouldn't suprise me if the game is full of bugs on release.

I can see say that taken a lot of inspiration from GOT. Which I like. For me, looks promising.

I couldn't care less for console superiority and all that rubbish, I still doubt Xbox would be in a better place than playstation just because of these exclusives.. but.. this showcase was miles better than what we have for the playstation, and at least they have some idea of whats coming up over the next few years. Unfortunately (apart from a few games) I have no idea where we are heading currently.. Sony should have done a little better for it's fans for sure, but I suppose with dominance they don't feel the need to.

I won't buy again, but for anyone that didn't, I highly recommend. Such a great game.

Christ Alive. I doubt it would have even cost that much to have a stand at E3, absurd costs for something that's digital.

I do get why it would work with Lego, the whole "remove objects part" but usually this works well with franchises that the game is based on (movie e.c.t) we already have a better more realistic Horizon, so I'm not sure who their target audience is for this one.. if it was made available across the board, switch, xbox e.c.t with cross play, it could work really well and gather a new audience, but closing it to just PS5 and PC just doesnt make sense to me.

Definitely should have spoiled it, would have literally saved everyone from becoming bored out of their skulls. Haha

Absolutely loved unlimited. Fond memories of flying around Hawaii with my friends. I know people talk about Horizon and this cloning it, but ironically Horizon released after unlimited and took alot of elements from it, having a huge budget and existing fanbase just helped propel that even more. Fingers crossed for this one.

@Atreus97 I was honestly thinking exactly the same thing during this. Maybe it's just my age... This was utter garbage!

@PSme 100% agree, the chapel is incredible. The ceiling is just insane.

I'll do what I'll do and just stream it on my deck. CBA with buying a series X.

Id take Starfield, all the others I've played so many times I've lost count. I've recently played Starfield on my deck and it was a great game, but I can imagine it being so much nicer to play on the PS5. MCC and gears, while great. I've done. (Unless they remake gears 2&3 like the first one)

Been playing it today on the deck and so far I'd definitely say it's a step up from the original, seems more in depth. The same addictive gameplay! Very good for something that's early access and is only bound to get better.

Perfect for my deck, but I'll hold fire. Plenty of backlog. Only just got a deck so I'm stacked. Does look promising though!

In all honesty, I was originally all in for the pro, but until I actually see some regular full on ps5 games I honestly don't see the point. Plus I've just spent cash on a steam deck (which is superb)

Can't wait for this one to drop. Just got a steam deck and it's flawless on there!

I'm going to be hugely in the minority, but I always play on 30fps, I've dabbled with various FPS settings over the years and I can never tell the difference (my eyes are awful though) but. I can when it comes to sharpness, so like with my Sky, I've always gone with the 4K option where possible. But I do agree that there should be multiple options for everyone, most people want the 60.

I actually had an Xbox during the last generation and did upgrade to the One X and was worth it. So I'll be doing the same most likely for this. But like others have stated, we do need pure PS5 games for any enhancements to actually be worthwhile.

They should definitely add in like a "summon" on this, where when you reach a certain hit counter, your eikon can do a one off special move. I know it doesn't necessarily work as such, but I love that old style of summoning. I wish FF7 Rebirth had that old style.

@Darude84 personally I prefer rebirth, but I love the 2nd main act of the original. That's where most of my memory lies within 7. It's like anything I suppose, nothing can capture the original essance of a game. It would be the same if X got remade. They try toi hard to make something better, when in reality it was already incredible. And that there's a reason we fell in love with that particular game at that time. Weirdly 7 isn't my favourite but I have the fondest memories of it.

Rebirth is great, I really enjoyed it for sure. But.. I think if FF7 didn't exist and this was a totally new game, it wouldn't hit quite like it does. Most of us interested in this game grew up playing the original.

Used to love Ghost recon back in the day! Can't remember the last first person one they did, but had to be the original Xbox days. Last one that was decent for me was probably Advanced Warfare.

A good 8 for me! While I think the overall story is great, I agree there is a little too much padding. So much stuff that is completely irrelevant. I cannot bring myself to go around collecting every little thing. But the story I love, which is why I was there. I just wish.. 1. They wouldnt lock summons behind chadley. Hide them in unique places (making us work to find them) just like the original. And 2.while I love Vincent and Cid, maybe it would have been better to delay their involvement. Seemed a bit strange them hovering in the background. Could have introduced them but not have them accompanying the story.

I think the OG7 is my favourite, but only because of what it meant to me as a kid and thats where it all started for me. However, I deeply love 9 and even 8. Played them all again recently and they still hold up very well. Graphics doesn't overly bother me with rebirth tbh, aslong as everything else hits.

Used to organise the London one, it's a very surreal experience. Some are good and some are incredibley bad... Haha! Great events though for sure.

Literally just finished the final chapters of remake again and 100% rebirth looks better. Not huge amounts in it for sure, but definitely better. Not that I care anyway, if the game is good and I enjoy it thats all that matters.
