@4kgk2 Do you know what a Monopoly is? That’s what you get when one company dominates an entire industry. Not to mention the lack of competition leads to stagnation in output.

@4kgk2 that doesn’t answer my question. How is one company dominating an entire industry good for the industry?

@4kgk2 how is one company dominating good for the industry?

This whole farce has made everyone involved look like complete idiots. Don’t get me wrong it was entertaining at first, but now it’s just pathetic.

@STOBO why? That’s horribly unfair to indie developers.

This whole thing is hysterical to me. Imagine thinking the Japanese gaming market matters in the slightest in 2023.

The Game Gear games are just a bonus anyway. This isn’t something to get mad over.

I’ll never understand Capcom. They took Resident Evil 4, a game that was already perfect the way it was and made it better, but Resident Evil 3, a game which could have used a remake to improve on certain elements, that one they screw up.

sigh here we go again. Expecting Pro models because everyone forgot why the Pro models from last generation existed to begin with.

You know they made other things right. You don’t need to put The Last of Us in the headline.

Yeah, one of the issues of adapting an already cinematic game like The Last of Us is that the story has already been perfectly told in the best way possible. Why would I watch an inferior version of the story when it offers nothing I couldn’t have gotten from the game. I said it before and I’ll say it again, this show had no reason to exist.

Why? The pacing in the game was bad enough, you want to make it worse.

@themightyant I don’t think it can. These changes might help it gain new fans, but it’ll also alienate a lot of the old ones. And as I said it’s largely been playing catch-up to other popular RPG’s and Japanese action games. You can’t become pack leader if you’re playing catch-up.

@themightyant Final Fantasy stopped being the driving force behind RPG’s years ago. It’s honestly just playing catch-up to other RPG’s Amat this point. I would argue that Persona has had a larger impact on the JRPG scene than Final Fantasy has in the last 10 years or so.

I don’t see how he can think of it as discriminatory. It’s just a descriptive term for RPG’s made in Japan.

I always felt the Olympics should have an E-Sports division. Glad to see that finally happening.

And so the dance begins anew. We all get excited for a new Final Fantasy only for it to be disappointing when it actually comes out.

@neonpizza I didn’t say it was a gimmick, I said that’s how some consumers view it.

@Trousersnake I suppose time will tell. The real test isn’t the technology though it’s how consumers react to it. The NES could also be considered gaming in its infancy and that was a huge success back in the 80’s.

VR is impressive tech but I think a lot of consumers still view it as a gimmick and most headset’s are so out of most peoples price range that they can’t give it a shot.

I’ve seen so many VR headsets released in the past 10 years and I have to ask, is this ever going to catch on? I’ve heard people say this is the next evolution of gaming yet it’s never really become mainstream. Will it ever, or is it forever doomed to be a niche interest for dedicated hobbyists?

Exactly what I was expecting. The dialogue in the trailers was godawful.

And my interest is gone.

Who would have thought a game that was overly cinematic would have a great screen adaptation

Hard to believe it’s actually coming out

@nessisonett caught up in what? He was offered a role and he took it. That’s it.

I’ve got one thing to say to the people who pre order this, have fun it looks like a good time.

If it copied the game line for line this only strengthens my initial complaint, this has no reason to exist. Why wouldn’t I just play the videogame at that point.

@4kgk2 im not white knighting for anything. Sheesh, what in the world was that for.

@4kgk2 both consoles are doing good though. I don’t really care about console Wars shenanigans, that was always between the companies and not the players.

I’m all for accessibility in gaming, but what is this design?

It better be. Because so far the “next generation” has felt more like a minor upgrade than a major leap forward. And given what’s coming on the horizon I don’t think that will change anytime soon. Hopefully the second half of the year picks up the slack.

@get2sammyb isn’t haptic feedback just an evolved version of hd rumble on Switch?

Anyone else when controllers didn’t have so many needless gimmicks attached to them? Rumble Is the only one that seams to have lasted, everything else has either been forgotten or greatly diminished. Just make a comfortable controller that’s fun to use, that’s all we need.

@KundaliniRising333 considering The Last of Us part 2 won for best direction I think it’s obvious the game awards just don’t care at all.

Sony: “Microsoft wants us to be Nintendo”

Gamers: “Nintendo what do you think of all this”

Nintendo: munches on popcorn

@KidBoruto umm… they already tried that once. Didn’t work out.

Oh no, I’m not going through this again.

Time to add groundbreaking to my list of words that have lost all meaning.

That’s not something that boosts confidence in the product.

I still don’t see why this needs to exist. The improvements are nice but the game was fine as it was. It didn’t need to be remade.

How? How do you let this happen twice?!

No no no no no no no. Please don’t let them ruin anymore of this series

For as tragic as this whole situation is I can’t help but laugh at it. Like, why blame Kohima in the first place, makes no sense.

“Story is nonsense” those are fighting words.

Why would you want to split sonic 3 and S&K? The games were always meant to be a singular whole. That’s a very weak flaw to give it.

I’m not really surprised by this. When you look back at the series it wasn’t much of a crossover between Final Fantasy and Disney characters to begin with. The final Fantasy characters were always stuck in their own world and outside of Olympus you never saw them in any of the Disney worlds.

They didn’t even handle the Final Fantasy characters that well. All of their backstories were changed and never fully explained. Poor Cloud got it the worst. I don’t know I think leaving the Final Fantasy characters is for the best.

Oh wow what a surprise. I totally was not expecting this. Sure glad I didn’t know he was coming back 😉

I don’t really see why this needs to exist. The original still plays and looks fine and the remaster is already playable on PS5.

But why though?
