I just find it frustrating that square didn't do the work to make the game look good on PS5 and instead we are going to let them get away with making more costly hardware solve the problem instead.
Ya know I had thought that Final Fantasy 8 was just way too hard back in the day. Of course I was like 12 and didn't understand the junction system well.
The remastered game came out and I bought it and quickly realized how easy it was to become over powered and I absolutely loved the game.
Any idea if we will get new trophies/achievements? I don't need a reason to dive back into this one, but I'd love it if there were some new ones to earn.
@get2sammyb I've heard a lot about it, I just wish we could get out of the rumor phase and into an announcement. Not complaining by any means, I am excited and just impatient!
I feel like this continues to be an issue at Sony's end. They launch the games, they run like crap, then an emulator update comes out that fixes the problems. Legend of Dragoon had something similar back when it launched.
If Jason says it then I believe it. He doesn't just throw information around. He actually has sources.
I have been patiently waiting for a long time. Tactics Ogre Reborn was amazing and I spent 210 hours in it. Final Fantasy Tactics was my first ever Tactical RPG way back on PS1 and I would buy a remaster/remake in an instant. I hope they do the same art style as TO:R because I really liked the aesthetic of it. Took me back to playing on PS1.
This game reminded me how much I love a good turn based RPG. I played the poop out of it and enjoyed it thoroughly. If we want more of these games, snap them up!
Honestly, I never understood Hellblade 2. The first game was amazing, but it seemed like the story had been told. A sequel was just a weird idea to me.
Then they announced it would be 30fps.
Then they announced they were prioritizing widescreen and most people would have black bars top and bottom.
I was out after the last note. Then some (not all!) reviews confirmed my thoughts. The first game told the story and it was done. A sequel was a stretch.
Really having a lot of fun in Dragon’s Dogma 2. There is a lot of drama about the game, but in case anyone needs to know: you don’t have to spend any money on microtransactions.
The game is a lot of fun, but it’s very much an old school RPG. It may not be for everyone, but it’s really been an amazing experience so far.
Sleezy? Yes absolutely. I can keep my credit card in my wallet, though so I don't care about this. The performance issues are the most irritating thing.
Personally, I just think that the uncapped frame rate is lame. I noticed how choppy it looked in the videos I’d seen.
Also, I think it’s fair to say we should expect 60fps now. What I don’t know about tech can fill a warehouse, but game graphics haven’t exactly jumped up a lot and it’s not like anyone is actually pushing 4K anymore, it’s all upsampled.
I’m so behind. I have the remake and want to play it, just haven’t had time. I will play that first. Hoping that will give Square time to fix the performance mode resolution and lighting problems. I’ll def get this game at that point.
I mean, I'm glad because I really think this developer is talented and they won't have to do CoD stuff, but what the heck is Microsoft doing? I thought they'd consider TFB a good get and want to retain that talent.
Whatever your thoughts on frame rate, it just has the feeling like these landmark titles aren’t getting the attention they deserve. I was just hoping that we’d see some special attention given to one of Konami’s biggest franchises and we aren’t getting that. That is what I find disappointing.

Once I read they fix the performance mode to actually hit 60fps, I'll pick it up.

Re: PS5 Players Choose Performance Mode 75% of the Time
I was certain I was in the minority when picking performance mode. This is a nice surprise.

Re: You Simply Have to Play This Stone Cold PSP Tactics Classic on PS5, PS4
I will be playing this one. More Tactical RPGs, please. I'd be happy with a FFT port or a remaster.
Re: Assassin's Creed Remakes Are on the Way, Ubisoft Confirms
I hear them talk a lot about Assassin’s Creed, but the best game they’ve launched since 2018 was Prince of Persia the Lost Crown.

Re: Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake Has a 'Revised' Story, PS5 Performance Mode, and New Difficulty Levels
I read this as the performance mode will be 120fps and regular mode will be 60fps. Weird if that isn't the case, honestly.

Re: Preview: Astro Bot on PS5 Could Be the Best 3D Platformer This Side of Nintendo
60fps. So happy to see that note. Maybe it's not a huge deal, but I feel like Sony does a fantastic job of giving us at least an option of 60fps.
Re: Metal Slug Tactics Commands Attention with Tense, Turn-Based Gameplay on PS5, PS4
I haven't read too much into it, but I'm not sure how the roguelike portion will work. I imagine there are upgrades and such that you will keep.
I'm not usually a roguelike fan, but this game does look quite good.

Re: It Looks Like Kena: Bridge of Spirits Is Heading to New Platforms
Amazing game that everyone needs to play. Hopefully our friends on Xbox take full advantage.
Re: Dave the Diver (PS5) - PS Plus Gains an Inventive, Satisfying Adventure Overflowing with Ideas
Does anyone know if this is a cozy type game? It sort of sounds like it is.
My wife wants some new games and she doesn't like anything that has high stakes. She likes chill games like the sims or stardew valley.
I'd like to gift this one to her if it's a more chill experience.

Re: Cowardly Helldivers Turn on Malevelon Creek Veterans, Targeting Noble Cape Wearers
Helldivers 2 is amazing, I really love it and have put a fair amount of hours into it. I plan to keep playing it and enjoying it.
That said, I don't get why there always has to be warring factions over seemingly everything.

Oh well, no bad news for me.

Titanfall 3 would be a day 1 buy for me. Loved 1, loved 2, not a fan of BR stuff. Besides, we need to follow more of what happened with BT!

If they can run an acceptable version of this on PS4, then why don't we have a steady 60fps mode?
