Lol from these comments you would think FFVIIR was one of the worst games in the past decade. Pretty much the opposite, I think it was even close to game of the year on this site (by fans)!
Add me to the list of those dissapointed in the launch content. The game has a ton of cars that are all out of reach after beating the Cafe. The poor payouts mean that I could race for months just to afford one car from the Legends dealer. It really sucks because I'll turn it on and hit my daily miles, spend the ticket, and sit there on the map like....well....I guess I'll go play something else.
The way Polyphony does live service is pretty great. You can get tired of the game and go back a couple of months later to new surprises. I haven't paid a dime beyond price of the game for Sport and been playing it off and on since release.
Definitely getting a Bioshock / Half Life 2 vibe from this one. I'm not big on FPS, but I play at least one single player FPS a generation - this may be the one.
Hopefully you can assume the role of greedy club owners that do all they can to maximize profits and slight your players. Or vice versa! I could see a negotiating mini game where a bunch of old dudes get together and go back and forth with the goal being to not make any progress. They could add in side quests like bringing coffee to the table without spilling it on yourself, or playing paper football with another owner. Oh! And a mode where you design articles or ads placing the blame on the other side while making it seem like you care about the fans more than the money.
Man I'm a genious, think about the potential. Lockout mode ftw
Push Square needs to hire people just to get everything reviewed in the next few months. Sheesh what a lineup. Even beyond the big three games, there are some super interesting games that I will be checking reviews on.
As a driving game fan, GT7, Grid Legends, Truck Driver PS5, are all on my radar.
The failures of the vita make me cry. Why oh why couldn't they have added proper R2/L2 buttons and better wifi? It was so close to greatness. And the memory fiasco. Ugh Sony ugh
Looks pretty bad honestly. So tired of the school settings. They wonder why they are losing ground to other studios across the world. When did JRPG become synonymous with school based emo anime?
This doesn't come out until it's 60 dollars. This doesn't come out until it's 60 dollars. This doesn't come out until it's 60 dollars. This doesn't come out until it's 60 dollars. This doesn't come out until it's 60 dollars.
I've got my Fanatec GT DD Pro, my Omega Apex wheel stand in front of my projector. All I need is the game. March come here you amazing beautiful *****!
@meltendo seriously though? People that are going to go the lengths of hacking their console and downloading such a massive game were going to do it anyways. Now they just get it a bit early without the final assets and bug fixes. Don't really care honestly, the people that were gonna buy it are still going to buy it and game is going to sell like hotcakes.
@KidBoruto If they weren't making ME and DA at the same time maybe! Can you imagine what it's like in that office working on two of the most popular gaming franchises of all time, with absolutely 0 room for F ups this time around. There has to be so much pressure to get everything right.
Wasn't there a remake of FF Tactics circulating the rumor mill? Would love that, but also in the Legend of Dragoon camp. That would be an enormous remake though.
@TooBarFoo I don't know why that depresses you lol. You do you and let others be hyped for a game they have been waiting for. There are many reasons people want to play something when it releases. Maybe they want to experience the story spoiler free, maybe they want to play alongside their friends so they can talk about it. It's really up to them.
Me personally, I refuse the 70 dollar price point but it takes some effort since Sony is waiting about 6 months to come off those prices.. For example Ratchet and Clank just got lowered in Nov. But that means a lot of people will have beat the game and moved on by the time I start it. I'm cool with that personally, but I totally understand someone wanting it asap and it doesn't bother me. I do think I will cave on GT7 though! I have waited way too long for a proper new GT, cannot wait another 6 months.
I might go for a season pass or something but they would have to give me everything they ever make for the game. As it stands you only get the expansions, the armor and weapons add ons you still have to pay for. They nickel and dime you no matter what.
I think the main combat in this game will be with the camera. The VA and the main character are terrible. I remember they released a video bragging about the actress playing this character, and it was just bad. Bad writing or bad acting or bad direction or all three. I also feel like the game industry has gone overboard with female characters lately. I get it was male dominated in the past but it's crazy now how many story leads are now female. I guess I don't mind it, it's just a bit weird that they are overly course correcting.
Man, you would think we have had a GT release per year based on these comments.
The racing is exciting when you are playing it. Paired with a great FFB wheel, nothing comes close to the fun it brings in my opinion. Super excited for this and the return of Deep Forest!
Disregarding the constant milking of the cow, and the bugs on release, it is one of the greatest games ever made. The sheer size is incredible to me still today.
@TBubs311 I loved the whole Egypt setting, and the gear was really fun to acquire.
This game's setting is kind of boring and the gear even worse. Unless you want to look like a wooly mammoth for the entire game, you have to spend money. The dark knight gear is awesome but yep, microtransaction.
@MetalGear_Yoshi I feel the opposite of everything you said. I'm not a die hard, but am a fan and I love these little videos that give more info about the game.
I don't think you are even a fan of GT by what you posted, not sure why you even took the time.
The game is pretty solid though much more enjoyed Origins and Odyssey. The loot usually drives me forward in these games and the viking fur stuff just kinda sucks.
@Th3solution Same here, it seems Sony is sticking to its guns on first party titles a la Nintendo. I have yet to play Demons Souls or Ratchet and Clank because I am waiting for Sony to drop the price. Hopefully as the library gets larger they'll rethink the strategy of keeping the price high 6 months or even a year after release.
I could see a world where Sony saves the R&D costs to build new hardware and sell it at low profit to just delivering their games and making peripherals on pc. No more OS maintenance, move the store to 100% digital delivery to cut out disc production costs and remove reselling physical to maximize profits on games. Hardware wise they might make console PCs running windows and PSVR. Not saying I necessarily want this but it makes a lot of sense.
I played roughly 30 hours and it got boring. 30 hours isn't bad value, but it was a freaking time sink and a half. At some point I said I just can't do another run for a monster bone to get me this green knife.
This is an industry wide problem. As long as the masses continue to buy in, we'll keep seeing this. The only thing you can do is not buy these types of games (or play the "free" ones). It really is a shame that developers creative energy goes to filth like this.
This is actually pretty awesome if it works right. Since caveman times we have had to either manually adjust for each piece of content (no one does this), or just find the best all around settings and hope for the best. A world where each piece of content comes with its own auto calibrated setting, therefore giving us that content in a way the developer wanted us to see it, is frankly an incredible idea. I doubt it catches hold due to the effort involved and the small slice of the population that owns a Sony TV or heck even understands the tech. I wish this was compatible with my Sony projector..
