"PS Now vs Xbox 360 backwards compatibility. If you want to play older games on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, these are the main vehicles to do so (respectively). But which one is actually better? We break down each service’s pros and cons and decide which is the superior service to play previous-gen games on.
Our second main topic, which wasn’t supposed to be one initially, is about Final Fantasy VII Remake. We debate whether or not breaking the game up into multiple parts was a wise decision or not. This one, just like the other main topic, gets very heated.
Other topics discussed on this episode:
*November NPDs and how the PlayStation 4 beat the Xbox One
*Details of the Nintendo NX architecture emerge
*Yoichi Wada calls out Konami for their treatment of Hideo Kojima
*The controversy over Laura Bailey playing a black character in Uncharted 4"
Final Fantasy VII 1997 exceeds 15.5 million units sold worldwide as of February 2026, reinforcing its legacy as the series best selling title.
I’d love to know how many units have been sold of all the Final Fantasy VII franchise games, including the original, the remakes, spin offs such as Crisis Core, and mobile games Ever Crisis. I bet a fair few copies.
Modern day publisher be like: "Failed to meet sales expectations. Pivoting to live service."
It's an absolute legend of a game. And I honestly really love how the remake trilogy is shaping up so far.
Final Fantasy 7 is one of the most iconic video games of all time, with it helping to changed the RPG landscape when it was released in 1997.
If you already own it... There, I saved you the click on a deliberately misleading article.
I bought the game yesterday on steam for $4 because Square Enix is trying to replace it with a version that has no mod support.
Prior to yesterday, I had no idea the game had so many great mods until people started making a fuss out of it.
u get the switch 1 version of the og ff7 for free if you own 7 remake for the switch 2.
lol.
But BG2 didn't emerge in a vacuum, and in a recent chat with Slandered Gaming it emerged that—while we can thank BG2 for a lot of our favourite RPGs since—we have a whole other game to thank for BG2. That'd be Final Fantasy 7, which lit a fire under BG2 director James Ohlen to go all out with the game's structure and companions, per Trent Oster—who worked on the original Baldur's Gate and has since become CEO of Beamdog, the studio behind the BG1 and BG2 Enhanced Editions.
Baldurs Gate 1&2 were my games back in the day on PC. Icewindale and Neverwinter Nights as well
Whenever these guys are on a show, it's a great discussion.
There's only one true backwards compatible console and that's the Wii U.
If it's not native, straight out the box it's not BC in my opinion.
