PC Gamer: "Reinstall invites you to join us in revisiting classics of PC gaming days gone by. Today, Andy brushes up on his Triple Triad skills and revisits the vivid world of Final Fantasy VIII."
Square Enix has announced multiple classic Final Fantasy titles will receive physical releases this December;including Final Fantasy VII, VIII and IX.
7,8,9 only Switch
7 remake & rebirth only PS5?
Is this accurate? Wish it was all for both.
Why can’t they just do a cool classic collection with VII, VIII and IX in with some goodies similar to what they did with the Pixel Remaster.
I would honestly go for a Remaster Collection, just AI upscale some textures (there are really good fan mods for that), widescreen everything where possible, higher native resolution, etc...
It seems like a no-brainer to make such a large portion of what was FF's golden age into a collection of it's own.
Weird that 7 and 8 are together for 40 and 9 is 40 on it's own.
8 should be the one on it's own as it actually has redone models.
I have ff8 ps4 remastered physical euro version. They should have put these on PS5 physically so lame.
I'm actually so tired of hearing about FFIX. Just replayed it with Moguri Mod earlier this month. That might as well be the definitive version.
While a lot (like way too many) games launch in sorry states these days, a lot of them do eventually get polished up over time fixes. The same can’t be said for these properly broken games.
Worst for me is wipeout 2048.
I got gold in every single player race, made it extremely far into the great online shop platinum was a finger away.. then lost all my online progression. Many players experienced the same and hadn’t been fixed since
Cyberpunk and No Mans Sky are obviously the 2
best comeback stories. Cyberpunk is literally one of the best RPGs ever made now.
junctioning is only broken now because it's been datamined which monster which gives which card and which card gives which items and every single spell to junction with the highest points for each stat. For it's time when that info wasn't readily available it was good, not without it's flaws, but not broken,
Exactly. I never got this because what made it broken was the knowledge of what to exploit.
Playing the game for the first time back then you never had any knowledge to make it so easy.
One minute the Junction system is complicated, the next it's super easy / broken. What is it?
i mean, ff8 is not "broken" per se, its just that the junction system is too good and easily exploited even an hour into the game. haha
Star Wars Jedi Survivor is one of them. I can’t get in the Cantina bar later on in the game. The door and other doors throughout the environment is locked off. It is a shame, because I wanted to complete the game, but I can’t until they fix it.
Gary Green said: Tempting as it is to dedicate our first installment of PlayStation Icons to a franchise-leader like Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, or even Sackboy, instead I’m choosing a character that I, like so many others, connected with on a personal level. He’s a moody, world-weary teen, a proud loner with no time for the drama of others, and yet he’s also a hero just waiting for the motivation to unleash his full potential. He’s a warrior. He’s a leader. He’s the king of internal monologues. It’s time to meet Squall Leonhart.
"But it’s over a decade old"
It's actually two decades old lol.
Still sucks.
I really wish this would get some re-release. Not even a mention from SE on its 20th anniversary, but announcement of re-release of ff7 and ff9 on the day of instead!? Talk about totally shitting on ff8.
Also I do not buy into the "well all the raw assets are gone" bullshit because ff8/ff9 were developed in tandem so either it's bullshit or SE literally didn't care for ff8 discarded everything while keeping everything for ff9.
Yeah I know I'm coming off as salty but this was my favorite game for those decades.
