No Final Fantasy VII Remake this weekend thanks to Amazon's policy of fulfilling new preorders before ones made years ago.
So playing Grim Fandango Remastered instead.

@AdamNovice
I feel your pain.

Can't give it a score, as Amazon still haven't sent me my copy yet, not expected to get it until next Friday despite preordering it in 2016.

@Grimwood
I can certainly agree with that.

Link to the free installed copy of Dreams

They've been making a few errors lately.
One in particular, I preordered Final Fantasy VII Remake in April 2016 and they changed the date to 14/04/20 max delivery time of 8pm. While all my friends who lived further away from me to the distribution centre got their copies early despite only preordering one month ago, Amazon at 6pm yesterday changed the arrival date to 24/04/20. Presumably as they'd given all their stock out to customers paying full price.
No honour whatsoever and all they said was "You can feel free to cancel your preorder". It's sold out everywhere here.
I'll think twice about buying from them again.

Just to hijack a popular thread - sorry in advance. I preordered FFVII Remake from Amazon back in 2016, and friends I know who are further away from the distribution centre and only pre-ordered it a month ago got it last week, even as early as last Monday. Amazon changed the arrival date to max 8pm 14/04/20 then at 6pm yesterday changed it again to 24/04/20 after I spent the day waiting for it.
Has anyone else had similar problems?

Very commendable, I already have them but have let other people know about it, so they can benefit.

Just wondering if the 'V' shape might make it into the final retail version and could be a platform for wireless charging for Dualsense controllers or even the PSVR2 headset to sit on.

@lacerz
You mean 3 disc? Or did you get the Japanese International Version?

I've had it pre-ordered with Amazon since 2016 and have been told next Tuesday.
Yet everyone else I know who pre-ordered from them have received their copies early.
They all only pre-ordered witin the past 2 months and live further away from the distribution centre. So they literally drove past me to get to them.

You forgot to include the Dual Analogue

Yuk!!! What are most of you people thinking!?
I like some of the tech IN it, but it's ugly, yet again like other consoles another step towards replicating the Xbox style of controller, what happened to diversity? Not everyone wants a clunky lump.
Plus worst of all it probably means the console will look as bad too.

@Crimson_Ridley
That's the spirit!

@ApostateMage Heh heh! Maybe

I have an active subscription, love the magazine, but hate the silly decals, coasters and posters, wish they brought the demo discs back, it would be cool if they could get exclusive demo's not available on the PlayStation Store. Never gonna happen though. But I hope they keep going regardless.

I know a friend of mine has received Final Fantasy VII Remake early, I'm raging, he's not even playing it, still on The Witcher 3

@BrettAwesome
Check my previous reply.

Must have glitched for me, the space looked empty. That's disappointing, would have preferred a comparible number.

So only thing confirmed SSD, 3d audio and PS4 compatibility, no Terraflop number, waste of time. Glad I was sent home from work and didn't take the day off.

"...a bit like a peanut butter sandwich without any cheese" FIXED. I'll fight anyone who disagrees

Thanks for the spoiler.

That's stage 3 completed now.

Ideally...a modern day version of the PS3/4 combined, has all physical and digital options there to cater for all tastes. Wouldn't even mind if you had to pay a bit extra to access physical media capabilities.

I thought it looked terrible actually, can't see it getting worse.

None of the above, maybe a variation on the old PSX case and not using as many materials.

My sources have me to believe it will only play PS5 and PS6 games from day one.

If you want to speed their digital agenda tough, it's good you need to pay extra to buy something you never own. Talk about turkeys voting for Christmas...

I'm guessing one a year for 3 years.

I haven't bought a PS4 pro and extremely unlikely to at this point.
But with the option of paying a bit extra for a ps5 and to get a PS4 pro in the interim, with all repairs covered, I could be persuaded as long as I owned the PS5 with the last payment.

Final Fantasy VIII remaster on the PS4 (somehow I keep finding myself stuck in Timber) and Monster Boy on the Switch as a side game.

Yeah! He said years ago while he was working on Silent Hills, that the concept he was working on could get him thrown out of the industry, I presume that might have been the idea of the 'Still Mothers' and the Bridge Babies....remember Japan is very conservative.

Um...the PlayStation TV plays barely any games of worth, especially if you're not always connected to the internet.
As far as being able to play all games on all legacy platforms, highly unlikely, but if the could get 50-100 high profile games working for each system, it could be somewhat realistic, and be a system seller for a hell of a lot of older gamers.

I'll never get to play this game...every time I'm about to, a new update gets announced which I feel I have to wait for

@Flaming_Kaiser
Give it time, who knows, they might release a physical collection of the 3 PSX games after the first part of the FFVII remake, like they did with the Nintendo games. I'd definitely buy them all again as would many others I'd guess.

Love this game and its characters, and was always surprised about how much hate it has had in recent years. Esp with the stupid 'emo' tag attributed to Squall. It will be interesting to see if the rerelease improves it's reputation. That said I was never a fan of junctioning, and the wrapping up of the plot was messy, but as a whole the game was great. I have next week off work to play it and can't wait.

I didn't re-subscribe after the first year, If I'd felt there was a month since then that would have been worth it I would have, but it's been pretty terrible for anyone who only has it for the games, doesn't play online multiplayer or otherwise buy or play digital games.

Maybe the reason it's on 2 discs is that the second contains the extra information for the PS5 version?

@rjejr
Ah hate being a pedant. But I it felt you were getting so much more in the old days having multiple discs to a game. Last time I had that that vibe was Lost Odyssey (assuming the last disc worked, which it didn't for a lot of people). Never caught Dragoon first time around, but it looked like it was made almost as an FF homage. But the pal version I got is worth so much I barely finished the first disc before vacuum sealing it.

@rjejr
3 discs (unless you're talking about the Japanese international version), the soundtrack album oddly came in at 4 discs though.

Sounds somewhat possible. I would think it could be another possible game to release on both PS4 and PS5.

I'd really like to be more excited about this, but people seem to forget Activision ruined the series when they took it over, CTR was amazing but Nitro Kart never had the same quality level, so when I heard this had Nitro Kart tracks, that already had my alarm bells going.

With that and the removal of digital downloads at retail shops does this mean they're looking at trying to steal the 2nd hand market away from shops like Gamestop and GAME?

Definitely not, especially after buying the Playstation TV, not only did it barely play any vita games but after downloading any games at friends houses they wouldn't play offline when I got back home.
I could see the same thing happening with a digital only console.

Have it running at the same time as my PS4 and switch between them, currently on Spiderman on the PS4 and got the platinum trophy after my 3rd playthrough of LEGO Harry Potter years 1-5 as a glitched had stopped my last trophy 'pinging' before.

Seems little parasitic to me.

Wow I'd completely forgotten the 'bag man' costume, well I did read it way back when it first came out, I do remember laughing my head off at the time. Nice touch.

It could be that he's only concerned about Japanese fans getting it spoilt for them and doesn't care so much about the rest of the world.

For some reason I feel strangely drawn to this...

Can't wait to get my hands on this!
