"It is very clear that that is NOT the case because if they were to make this with only new players in mind, they'd have thrown ATB out the window all together and gone fully action based."
The battles is more 70% action and 30% strategic. They have not struck the right balance. Boss fights are the only place where it shifts.
Fights can be fast(strategic) or an endurance (action)but eventually the fights ends. I can spend a fight using attacks only an...
"It is like saying this on movie lets watch this VHS of this movie I love when you have a bluray. The movie is the same but the quality is enhanced. "
Bad analogy...the movie viewing experience has changed but the content of the movie which is the same. In the video game case the viewing experience and the content has changed.
"Final Fantasy has moved on from that."
And it's been going downhill ever since. Changing the combat has been done to...
*spoilers*
*Do not read below if you having finished the game*
The team not being captured in the shinra building was really disappointing. And not seeing the bloody mess sephiroth leaves behind was a missed opportunity. Also they removed on of the most iconic scenes with the president being found with a sword impaled in him. I guess square wanted a low age rating for the game.
The new direction with the story has me worried because Nom...
More like Final Fantasy 13's potential. FFVII remake is a more refined version of that combat system.
FFXV combat was trash, you could play the game by just hold one button. There was no strategy involved
The controller is clearly inspired by Johnny Silverhand not the aesthetics of Cyberpunk
Turn-based combat was fine in the original. I don't understand why they needed to make a new battle system for this game. They could have easily integrated a classic mode(not in relation to what they call classic in the game) where the combat is balanced and can be turned base. It is very clear that the new battle system was made for new players, not for classic players.
The new battle system works fine but it can get jarring at times. The camera is the main cause for c...
"and probably a truck full of money from Microsoft"
So they have a truckload of money for Nier Automata but not for FF 7 remake.....OK then
"It was never planned for Xbox."
Neither was Hellblade, Yakuza, kingdom hearts and final fantasy collection,..but they eventually ended up on Xbox
"NieR: Automata Producer Explains Why there Are No Plans for an Xbox One Version at the Moment"
Oh look it says at ...
Rethinking it in the right way without messing with the original but FF7 is going in the wrong direction. Resident Evil remake is a perfect example of not messing with the original while at the same time expanding on story, gameplay, and design.
FF7 remake had many moments that paid tribute to the original expanded on it to give it context and make it more appealing to the modern audience.
Story-
The introduction of the whispers was pure nonsense and shows the influ...
Eventually, it will come to Xbox and PC. This is clearly a timed exclusive similar to Nier Automata
If people think that Sony is doing this for games that are 1 old or older then think again.
Sony plans to releases games simultaneously with the PS5 in the future. They see that MS is putting all of their games day one on PC, Gamepass, and Xcloud. This only leads to MS gaining ground in PC gaming and build up more audiences within their ecosystem. MS had a foot in PC gaming but it wasn't fully committed but now they are.
This is something Sony can already foresee so th...
This is the era of remakes
Resident evil 4 doesn't need a remake it needs a graphical overhaul. Give it a Halo anniversary treatment, keep the gameplay but overhaul the graphics.
The controller doesn't look nice and that's why everyone keeps changing it.
Going digital isn't an eventful experience. There is something about the stage and have the developers come out and talk about their games. It's one of the few times where millions get to see the actual developers of the game and a sense of pride for the people working on the game. This can somewhat be replicated online but in a scripted form that is just not the same.
Can we a Keane Reeves experience online?.....nope didn't think so.
Gamepass is gonna be big in Japan. With a small fee, you can access a great set of games on Xbox or PC and for people that are skeptical about getting the console. Xcloud will be the cherry on the cake.
"But showing two people getting run through with the sword is ok?"
First off Barret's one was pure nonsense and the framing made sure that it didn't look anything shocking. President shinra's one was not gruesome at all, as the scene was going on I was wondering when will he get stabbed...and he did in a predictable way.
What made that scene have an impact in the original was the enigma that was building up, as the main villain up to that point we'r...
