@Savage_Joe To be fair Rebirth would not have been possible on PS4 as in its current form, not that that would necessarily be a bad thing given some of the design choices, but I digress.
Hopefully this means PS4 will eventually get Wild Arms: Alter Code F, Wild Arms 4, Wild Arms 5, Grandia Extreme, Grandia III, Gungriffon Blaze, and Sylpheed: The Lost Planet courtesy of this emulation since Wild Arms are second party titles, and Game Arts & Media Vision actually supported the PS3 pretty well with PSOne and PS2 Classics!
@General_Spiller I'm sure those too will be replaced eventually...human greed will be the end of society and the end of humanity, unfortunately...the only question is when...?
Wow nice to see a literal army of trolls in the comment section @antdickens you might want to close these comments down because this is NOT a good look for the community.
@ApostateMage Since that's all Sony first party studios are apparently working on now, the outrage is well-deserved. Imagine if Nintendo pulled the same thing? It would be the end of them...heck, it could easily be the end of Sony? 🤷
@breakneck Strange since it seemed to have the most consistent frame-rate of any MH game on any dedicated console ever lol. Not sure what you're talking about, unless it was fixed post-launch?
@__jamiie Yeah digital is one thing, but even most cities in first world countries don't have access to sufficient internet for streaming modern games. You'd be lucky if 1% of the population would have access to game on modern streaming only consoles...
Wow, glad I don't have a subscription anymore...been ages since anything I'd have interest enough to have a sub has been put on essential. Nobody Saves The World is something I'd like, but not enough for an entire sub when I could get the game for around $10 on-sale.
@Raynor85x There should be a tier for just online features that's cheap. Honestly if I weren't an adult there'd only be like 2-3 games a year that I could play on the essential service, and even as an adult there was only like 3 games each year that I had any interest in tops. That's why I gave up on the service and with such a massive price hike I don't see myself ever signing back up unless Sony does the unthinkable and locks the use of the PlayStation Store behind a PS+ subscription paywall.
@Shepherd_Tallon As an American why should I be happy about the push towards streaming games? Aside from California, NYC, and maybe Washington State, our infrastructure is absolute doodoo in all-but the wealthiest neighborhoods even in huge metropolises such as Phoenix, Chicago, Dallas, etc. So 90% of us don't have enough speed or stability to stream games without them buffering every few seconds...
@OnceaThief I've heard of the grammar police, but not the illiterate police complaining that people are using proper grammar. What @get2sammyb wrote checks out as proper usage of the English language... 🤣
@Lando_ @Kanji-Tatsumi @darkswabber @UltimateOtaku91 @Splat Please don't lump all of us Zelda fans as being boogie men. I find it just as appalling as you do, but stereotyping an entire fanbase based on the actions of a few lunatics is not a good look.
@IOI GaaS games can work if done with single player in mind. GaaS just means continuous updates after launch such as what Spiderman, Final Fantasy XV, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Animal Crossing: New Horizons had. Live service is likely what you're thinking of which tend to focus on multiplayer and require a constant internet connection which includes MMO's, Fortnite, Genshin Impact, Gran Turismo 6, etc.
@ShogunRok So PSP games work like the PSOne Classics right? If I have the game on my Vita I should be able to download it for free, correct? I do have Blade Dancer so that'd certainly be a nice PS4 upgrade!
@Ralizah Yeah, but Octopath is NOTHING like the SaGa series. There's no glimmer system, secret party members, and the games aren't maddeningly difficult like the SaGa series. Aliance Alive is the spiritual successor to the SaGa series imo as it has a glimmer system and crazy difficulty.
I'm pleasantly surprised that this is also headed the PS4, and not just PS5! Will definitely pick this up at some point assuming my PS4 doesn't die on me before then.
@KaijuKaiser @NEStalgia In all honesty Sony is definitely more anti-consumer than Nintendo is at present, though that tends to flip-flop every few years or so, so eventually Nintendo will hold that "title" again. That said the fact that the DLC isn't coming to PS4 has pretty much ensured I won't get the base-game until it drops below $15 on-sale.
And no I am not getting a PS5 as I can't afford a $500+ console, heck I could barely afford the PS3, PS4, and Switch at $300 each when they could actually be found at that price. PS3/PS4 cost $500+ now so I won't even be able to afford a replacement if either of them breakdown on me.
@ShogunRok @LiamCroft Uh...I have both The Legend of Dragoon and Wild Arms 2 on PS3, but it appears Sony has silently stopped letting players who have the classic games on the same account on PS3/Vita download the PS4 upgrade for free. You might want to report this in an article.
@ShogunRok Isn't this confirmed for Nintendo Switch as well? Not gonna lie, even if it is I'd probably go with the PS4 version as I can't imagine this'd run smoothly on Switch.
@Recover20 It's sad that all the good games they release now are ports and remakes of old games and Bravely Default, Triangle Strategy, and Octopath Traveler doesn't count because all three series were heavily funded by Nintendo, even OT2 and TS which are multiplatform.
@McBurn Quite the McBurn lol. Seriously though, I hope this fails hard enough to make Squeenix cease making NFT's, but not enough to make the company go barkrupt.
