HBG: The recently announced and upcoming handheld platforms, specifically the Next Generation Portable, claim to bring “console-like experiences” in the palm of your hand. While this is no doubt an ambitious goal, there is one simple question that everyone seems to be forgetting–do we necessarily want to play these types of games on a small handheld screen as opposed to an expensive high-definition television, one that potentially costs thousands of dollars?
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
FuRyu revealed on Friday its Exstetra fantasy role-playing game is getting an HD remaster that will launch this summer on Steam.
Long considered impossible, there is now verifiable video proof of a player soloing Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus 2's notoriously difficult co-op mode. This was the finally achievement required to obtain the game's Platinum trophy, which has never been done in the 13 years since its release.
The problem is - if you drop it you're gonna /cry.
Im sure when they said console experience in your hand they meant Console visuals not downgraded versions of console games with exact same gameplay..
all of those IPs he mentioned (Killzone, LBP, uncharted) will be made by a third party dev, so dont expect so much similarity between 2 versions (console vs portable) in term of gameplay, and Im sure LBP is an absolute GEM for portable devices ( with full visuals it will be a dream)
BTW many people cant afford 2K USD(at least) for console experience , and NGP is an opportunity for those people..
i dont understand the hate for the whole console experience on the go. it has been done since the original gameboy. I thought the purpose of a portable was to play ur fav games/franchises on the go. Nintendo done it, sega did it, nintendo keeps doing it, sony did it. why all the hate now with the the ngp doing it?
To be fair, a lot of people keep judging the NGP as just having ports. Yes the games that have been show are already running games on the PlayStation 3, but I very much expect that their will be tailored made NPG games along with them.
I really think we are dropping the ball too quickly with this. Lots of time to come.
Or you could be more careful with your handhelds
