When I imagine how much it costs to make and maintain GaaS while knowing no one wants it... There is higher chance to get rich by flushing money down the toilet in hope toilet fairy turn it into golden leaves.
Why they don't optimise size? In a world where games are still copy/paste I don't see reason to use that Mark Cernys' hydra file system (or how is that called)?
Because FF7 was first game I ever seen on Playstation (and reason to buy PS someday) I'm not big fan of these remakes. And I'm not fan of lenghtening games at all. I'll wait what part 3 brings, but right now I rather play original FF7...
Still not finished Valhalla. One day I may squeeze my teeth and finish it, but it is so bad... There is definitely no place in my life for another screwed AC game. ...I rather play thru AC 1 to AC Syndicate for a third time...
Thank you Jim. Even if I consider rushing PS5 release (could wait until 2022 and be polished) and GaaS games as huge misstep, the rest of your work was very good.
Still don't get that buzz arround BB remake? That game has good graphics (if you are colorblind nevermind - it has no colors). And gameplay is... as it is. So I don't see any reason for remake. Nightmare Creatures deserves remake, not Bloodborne...
I tried to play FF7 about 10 times and always got somewhere around first witch boss fight, so I still never finished that game yet... Must work on it, but now I'm very busy with FF16.
@Vorflynn Unfortunately most studios are owned by publishers and they don't care quality. They set release date and care ONLY sales. They've been given too much power and they turned fun into mass production. And unfortunately customers accepted it and buy (even blindly preorder) like a crazy everything and than complain about quality ...but buy.
It is like Netflix, daily new movies, zero artistic value.
@GeeEssEff OK, I have a taste to play... ohh I have to browse my 230+ games library to find THAT game. I found it... but I like to listen to my favorite music... ohh it is not on Spotify, nevermind I have it on flash in mp3... ohh it cannot be played, because no media player, nevermind I have it on CD and PS5 have mechanic... ohh it hasn't any CD player...
Don't know how more explain PS4 could do ALL of this and there is no reason why PS5 cannot but still can't.
@GeeEssEff Trust me, it isn't. No folders, no media player, no browser (easily opened), no CD player, low batteries in controller... should I continue? PS5 saved the day only by PS4 games compatibility, otherwise it would be disaster.
@Ainu20 Yes, I forgot word "almost". And if you look at past generations, number of games tailored on PS5 in half of it's lifespan was available on past generations on day one. No one cannot clearly say PS5 had rushed, unfinished release.
@GeeEssEff Demon Souls is PS3 game... Yes, I forgot word "almost". And you also see it can be counted on one hand, is that enough to consider buying new console? I think hardly...
I still see PS5 as a flop. We are in half lifetime and except FF16 there is nothing you cannot play also on PS4.
PS5 is that "electric car". It looks different (design), unfinished (UI, themes, folders), is quiet and has some interresting gadgets (trophy tracking, playtime count), BUT it is car as other, you cannot go faster because of traffic (games optimized for PS4), and it still eats your wallet (expensive games, constant controller charging) and those gadgets are not that good or doesn't work properly.
When they wide games portfolio, there will be more reasons to buy PS5. Right now it is almost only Final Fantasy 16 that is worth considering buying console because of it.
Singleplayer shooter is one big win in these dark times of multiplayer s*itstorm, but you have to make it at least appeal. I'm still looking forward buying this game, but I suggest half of that marketing budget went on word "repetitive". It is great to make something new, but artificial prolongation by repeating something... that was almost whole PS3 era. It doesn't work anymore.
Don't see any meaning for this remake, but maybe someone who didn't played it yet may buy it. I've completed AC:BF on 100% so there is no need for another playthru...
