Leviathyn.com | Ever dislike a main character in a game just to have a supporting one be so damned awesome that he/she becomes the reason why you keep playing? Or perhaps you did like the main character but find one of the non-playable characters to be the best experience?
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
United Front Games developed a really unique experience with Sleeping Dogs, and it still holds up. Unfortunately, any hope at a sequel hinges on it getting more popular almost a decade later.
The Halo series is reportedly headed over to PlayStation consoles in the near future, while a Nintendo Switch 2 version is not yet planned.
MS probably didn't want the negative press for over a year about Halo coming to sony, which is why they didn't reveal it this year. IMO
I dont think that's it. Gears coming to PS is a big deal and we already know that MS is bridging all games. I think its gonna be a next year reveal or when ever they reveal the new xbox. I tell you what's funny. At 1st all gamers were in arms about MS bringing games to PS. Hardcore xbox were mad. Hardcore sony were happy and some trolling. Admittedly at 1st I didn't like it. Truth is for years these companies have been training their consumers to have brand loyalty and believe that certain games were only possibly because of the company they were made under. When you turn that silliness off you realize as a consumer this is one of the best things to happen in gaming. You have the choice to play where you like.
Totally agree. MS lost the console war so they moved into publishing where there is money to be made. Now everyone can have the once-exclusive gems on their system of choice.
@Slate91
Agreed. No way in hell MS is gonna catch anyone in console sales. They're gonna go where the money is.
Now you clearly have a choice. That would be playstation. You can get Xbox games and all Playstation only games. Why in the hell would anyone buy a Xbox over a ps or pc is beyond me now.
"When you turn that silliness off you realize as a consumer this is one of the best things to happen in gaming.“
Microsoft easily could have told anyone in 2020 already.
They already knew how their next 5 years would evolve, didn't they? In hindsight?
So people could at least have thought about it twice if they'd pay for an X or S - or instead just buy a PS5 right away.
What I am saying is:
Nice try.
But I personally won't ever buy into their "It's about choices to play/we want to reach everyone" BS.
All they care about is money.
Especially 1st party exclusives are a special and completely logical treatment for your own hardware to offer at least some unique selling points to people.
The problem for Microsoft was they just hadn't any. In 2020. And they didn't know it in 2020 first, no, no.
They had 7 years from 2013 to 2020 to prepare for the Series Generation. Which they did - but they didn't tell their community just yet.
And this is just cheap and gutless, now disguised as "We care for everyone!", and again held up by their very own community, at least parts of it.
Because the Xbox brand will have lost another 12-20'ish million users between Xbox One and X|S.
For reasons. Don't you think?
If Microsoft could have done the ways they wanted, e.g. leaked throughout the FTC trial, they just would have bought everything.
From Sega, CD Projekt Red, Capcom, From Software, Warner Bros.
To even Nintendo and Valve.
And don't forget: they had already bought Zenimax and ABK, and STILL wanted more!
Microsoft is a cancer in the gaming business. And I very much wonder how people still don't see through it!
@devio
You're conflating 2 different things. There stance is absolutely 💯 play anywhere. You can't deny that. But what they are doing is separate from why they are doing it. If you think any of these companies do it for any reason other than $, then you are fooled. MS hand was forced by piss poor decisions. I'm not blind to that
I say bring it... for years Sony fans have been saying they needed a Halo killer. Well... now they can play Halo themselves and enjoy what millions of XB fans have been enjoying. Why settle for the rest when you can play the best.
"for years Sony fans have been saying they needed a Halo killer"
Lol are you posting this comment through a portal from the year 2008? The "halo killer" narrative died a long time ago.
Darth is stuck in time.. Halo killer was born on xbox OG. Killzone 1 started it but the idea vanished when KZ2 was released in 2008 or 2009.
Halo died when Bungie was not longer involved, a slow death, but surely 343 studios killed it with each iteration.
I don't know man, lately it seems Halo is the Halo killer. In my opinion Reach was the last good halo game. Although I prefer ODST's campaign over Reach but man that Reach MP was so good.
At this point though who hasn't played halo its not like its been cost prohibitive to go buy an old 360 or play it on pc
The media said that. Time and time again. People minding their business on PlayStation didn't say they need a Halo killer. That doesn't even make sense.
@darth: “ I say bring it... for years Sony fans have been saying they needed a Halo killer”
Wait I thought the halo killer was its tv show😂🤣
Sony had a lot of halo killers but couldn’t commit to one all better in one way or another than halo better graphics and gameplay without aim assist = kill zone.
Better multiplayer: Warhawk 32 players and Starhawk 64 players and a lot of fun to play.
Honorable Benton socom so yeah I blame Sony for not committing to what they had or putting it together 🤷🏿
If it's not Infinite or Master Chief Collection. Then maybe it's just a complete collection? Halo 1-5 + ODST and Infinite with a £70 price tag.
I think that would be smart but with how MS are handling gears we may see them bring 1 game at a time and charge $50 for each. I wss hoping for a complete gears of war collection
Gears 1-5 all dlx & Gears judgement for $80 but instead we get 1 game. Just like Sony are remastering and remaking games we will see MS now do the same
Why would Microsoft wait to put this on Switch 2? In a perfect world it would have come to the original Switch.... but if this is not possible, they may be looking to cash in on the fact that it is very likely that most Swich 2 onwers will also a PS5 meaning that they can get a lot of double dippers simply by staggering the releases. I think this is true for multiple Xbox Studios games on PS5. By the next Summer games fest, expect an onslaught of games coming to Switch in the same way they are coming to PlayStation now.
Am I the one amazed at the number of obvious spelling/editing issue this article has?
Don't get me wrong, its a decent enough read and all, but how on a first self read-though do you miss things like "The *name* literally came back"?
