Sweet! I'm in Gongaga right now so there is still time to enjoy the enhancements. Though I have to say, I've hardly noticed any graphical blips since the games story and gameplay shine brightly through it. Been playing in performance mode only and its been nearly perfect. For those waiting for a PC version or sale, just know you're missing one of the best games of the last decade for pretty much no reason. This is absolutely a non issue that is completely blown out of proportion. I can't believe we live in a generation where people will blacklist an instant classic game because a rock looks little blurry here and there. Call me old fashioned...but I just like to enjoy games for the fun they offer.

I've been saying this game looked off since day 1. Something about the trailer screamed "poor man's Tsushima". Seems I was right.

Maybe people would be buying it if you f-ing supported the damg thing even a little bit! There have been exactly TWO big games for it since launch and both came from Capcom. Absolutely ridiculous.

Wow! Excellent stuff!

What a cool idea! I'm in!

About 15 hours in and have not noticed a thing. But I'll take it I guess. Haha

Still waiting for my freaking copy to get here from Amazon.

With all the dumb changes to the story I've been saying "I've never been more excited to play a game that will make me so mad". Lol

Still waiting for my stupid copy in the mail.

Was hoping for a day 1 patch for this crap. Lol. Doubt it will bother me too much but this does seem downright inexcusable, especially when they took the time to highlight its high resolution assets in the State of Play. What is "next gen" even for if we can't get stuff like this right?

Totally loving mine.

@Andee Haha that for sure should have been the line.

Yeah, I like the OG line much better. I could be wrong but I thought it was a reference to a convo earlier in the game. Doesn't she say something about the steel sky being oppressive or somehow a negatively affecting people? Then once she leaves it she realizes it brought her comfort and alluded to the unknown ahead being something she's never experienced before.

I dunno. I thought the OG line was way deeper.

If only Switchback VR would have been better at launch as early reviews killed it. A Rush of Blood VR2 port would have been a day 1 for me as well.

I love how Sony is sad that a platform they chose not to develop for AT ALL isn't making money. Lol. It should have 3 or 4 big first party titles by now.

Go FF9! My all-time favorite game. 🙂

Sounds like its as I expected: the good is better and the bad is worse. Super sad about the visual quality. Praying there is a day one patch to address it

Also anticipating some dumb Zack timeline stuff but I'm just hoping beyond hope that THAT scene remains unchanged...

Looks awesome! Too risky to back but will look into it if/when it ever releases.

Its been torture...but I'm waiting to start from the beginning next week!

FINALLY. I'll take even just a rumor. Sony...I know you despise the PSVR2 but please port Rescue Mission at least. A new one would be too much to hope for but please just port the original!

What a stupid world we live in. Lol

An 8 remake will NEVER happen but man I would love it. Its one of my favorites of all time. I personally liked the Junction system but I wouldn't care if they switched it up either tbh.

Are these...pre-rendered backgrounds?? And turn based combat?? Color me interested.

I think part of the reason eastern games thrive as opposed to western games is they largely regent woke culture and agenda-driven narratives in thier stories and characters.

Sounds like a lot of stuff I'm definitely not gonna do. Lol

SICK. I'm a photo mice fiend. My Stitch has nearly 4k pictures on it. Lol

I dont think this is a surprise to anyone. Lol

Was looking forward to it for years but the demo put me off to it big time.

It was all about Stellar Blade for me. Unpopular opinion: I think Kojima is a bad storyteller. MGS1 was incredible and he caught lightning in a bottle but everything after that has just been out of control weird and convoluted just for the sake of being different. I feel like his games would be much better if he had an editor come in and cut his first drafts to pieces. Anyway, just my opinion.

@Enriesto Yeah that was WAAAAY too much Kojima.

I was really excited for this game but after playing the demo I wasn't feeling it at all. 😒

@BeautifulCreatures Good point! That would be terrible if thats what the extra time was for. Lol

@TheEnygma I'm right there with you! FF7R is gonna be great but I know all the changes they made to the story will tick me off so Stellar Blade has got me more excited! Haha

So pumped! Hopefully since it was originally set for 2023, the release won't be too far off.

HYPE TRAIN!!! CANNOT WAIT!!!
Stellar Blade is one of my most highly anticipated games! Aside from that I am just praying for something- ANYTHING good for PSVR2. C'mon Sony, give me that Astrobot Rescue Mission port! Or show me you know the VR2 exists at all!
My pie in the sky announcement is that FF9 remake but I'd say thats farfetched this close to FF7R.

At this point in just happy to hear it still exists.

@NinjaWaddleDee I'm right there with you man. You couldn't be more right. See my rant above. Haha

Yeah...I dont believe that for one second. Aerith will live somehow. Remake jacked up the story in countless ways but one of its biggest no-nos was breaking one of the cardinal rules of writing: when a character dies, they must stay dead or thier death becomes a cheap thrill rather than an impactful moment.

Oh no! Poor Wedge died with his big dreams and lovable personality! Nah, he impossibly survived for no reason.
Awww...Biggs died in the name of freedom. Nah, he's alive because Kingdom Hearts timeliness.
Wow...Zack gave himself up like a true hero would...fighting to the end. Nah, he's actually a playable character now.
Whooooa, they killed Barret?? Nah, sike! Gotcha!

Don't get me wrong...I LOVE FF7. But I think the PS1s limitations forced Nomura to keep his stupid ideas in check. I may be in the minority here and I really hate to be "that guy"... but the dude is a terrible writer. After getting burned so badly by Remake, I've been putting it this way: I've never been so excited to play a game I'm gonna hate so badly. Lol.

I've just mentally prepared to really enjoy the faithful stuff and pretend its what it should have been and get through the inevitable dumb changes as quick as possible.

@Art_Vandelay I agree. I recently went to one of those "cutting edge" VR experience stores where they have you pay $60 per head to go through a level with team mates in full body tracking. It was fun but I got a look into just how incredibly high end the VR2 is. It was shocking how much better my experience was at home with RE8 than that.

Just bought this on the Black Friday sale knowing the VR mode was coming at some point. SO HYPED. I only played through the OG once about 10 years ago so I've forgotten most of it and wanted to go into the remake cold.
This was my cousin's (one of my best friends) favorite game of all time and he passed away suddenly 2 weeks ago so he was never able to play this mode. Was looking forward to exchanging hype with him but alas...My playthrough is dedicated to him. THIS IS FOR YOU, STEVE! LETS GOOOOOO!!!

On another note, so grateful for Capcom and thier PSVR2 support since clearly Sony hates the dang thing.

Its been on Quest 2 for a while. Its pretty fun and translates well!

Oh no....please....Im begging you. Poor FF7 has been through enough. Just leave him alone!

@Toot1st Dude I know. Like 90% of Remake was amazing and then BAM that last chapter was like Plot ghosts! Barret dies then doesn't! Alternate timelines! Multiple Sephiroths! Fighting destiny itself! Biggs is alive! Jessie's probably alive! Cloud is Sora! The player is actually Thanos! Like......WTF!?!?!? Just let me have my FF7 without that multiverse trash! Ugh.....

After what Remake did to the story I was totally checked out of this series. But ever since that State of Play trailer I've gone from a hard NO to pre-ordered and staring at my calendar until its February 29th. SO hyped! Its looks too good to be true. I'm bracing myself for the dumb story changes this time though and will just be content on enjoying the exploration and combat while pretending its the OG story.

Makes sense to me. As long as I can still play as babygirl Tifa, I dont care. Haha

NO WAY! Massive LotR fan here. Unless this turns out to be absolutely trash, I'm in day 1 even knowing nothing about it. Sounds amazing! I can't believe Weta is making a game!

@__jamiie My exact thoughts. Where the frik is Astrobot on VR2? I just don't get it.

Ff7R and Granblue Fantasy for me! I'll likely get PS Portal as well.

I guess thats one way to know you've made a poor business decision.

Best way to describe FF7R? I've never been so excited to play a game I'll hate so badly. Lol

I'll probably lapse a well until there is a sale and do another year then.

@Luigia That's actually a great point because Nintendo always said Switch straight up isn't Bluetooth compatible but we knew it was in there because that's how joycons work. One day they just switched it on (no pun intended). With Portal we KNOW it has Bluetooth capabilities from the get go because its compatible with thier specific headphones. So I'm sure they could open up that door whenever they want to.
Either way it doesn't matter to me because I have the pulse headphones already.

@NathanUC Gotcha. Yeah, this is a wait and see kinda thing for me. The value I think greatly depends on individual circumstance. For some this is totally useless and for others a lifesaver. I'm kinda somewhere in the middle.
