I wanted a FF7 remake for a very long time. Now, just stop fucking with me, thanks.Originally Posted by Alrea
I'll take the port to PS4. I'm not happy about it. I don't care. Square, you officially fucked up. You had this huge obvious opportunity, and you lit it on fire. Fuck you. Just finish FF15 already.

Pretty much more of the same, couple new climbing techniques but nothing we haven't seen before in other games as far was what was shown at least. Looks absolutely incredible though and i love me some Uncharted, definitely one of my favorite series.. Yes even the lackluster 3rd entry.

I really like the Uncharted series but that didn't look like anything new at all.
First game minus inFamous: Second Son I want a PS4 for.

Amen to that!
I’m not sure that the FF7 remake ship has sailed just yet. The powers that be may be waiting for an anniversary year to reveal it, say like the 20 year anniversary would be 2017, the 25 year would be 2022... we would be at the PS5 and XB4 by then, right? Anyway, if such a thing were to happen, I would want the original development team heavily involved in remaking FF7 for the Ultra HD era. Resist silly urges, like to somehow turn the remake into an online multiplayer universe. Don’t fiddle with the gameplay/battle system at all if it can be helped. Bring back Uematsu and have him simply update the original soundtrack with an orchestra. And other such things.

I totally agree, but that's exactly why part of me doesn't want it to be made at all. Too many things could go wrong if it isn't done perfectly. Even if they just left FF7 alone forever, never mentioning it again, that would be way better than cockteasing EEEVERYONE every couple years with a "FF7 announcement" for every system they release. First the PS3, then Vita, PC, and now with the PS4. If they aren't building up to a masterpiece-tier remake of FF7, then it's just gross.

The Uncharted gameplay looked great, I'm guessing they don't want to show off set pieces and more linear stuff, but the design of that combat area was well above the previous games, plus it was pretty as I'd imagined.
Really everything is about No Mans Sky (65 Days of Static ST! yessss) for me, that just looks great. I for one was pretty excited about the ff7 port. I like the game how it is, I don't see what an HD re-skin will actually achieve in terms of the story/gameplay/characters... Just give those polygon some clean lines, make he textures (when they are there) crisp and boom. Oh and trophies I guess. I don't want it to look like Advent Children thats for sure. All I really hope is they remake FF6 because that could be really special, particularly if it embraces that Amano concept art style... *dreams*

I actually liked the fact that I had no idea what I was running into when I downloaded this game. When there are free games available, I usually just download them all and research later. But with Secret Ponchos, I actually liked the fact that I had no idea how to play and learn as I went along. I wish it wasn't only multiplayer as well, but the multiplayer itself is pretty dam fun, and there are not much controls to the game so trying to figure them all out really is not a nuisance.
On the PS Experience... Uncharted looks great (Of course), No Mans Sky looks incredible, and the whole Final Fantasy 7 nonsense is bs... let it be. Really excited to see what is and will come to the playstation in the future.

so, just in cade anyone doesn't know, Suikoden 2 is being released on PSN today as a PS1 classic (for PS3, PSP, and PSVita)
In case you don't know why this is a big deal, the game was going for $200+ on eBay used. I often considered selling my copy, but it wasn't in mint condition anyway. Now, the value is probably going to plummet, but oh well.
It's one of the greatest old-school turn-based JRPGs ever. It seriously stands up right there with Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger. Part 1 is already on the PSN (and is a pretty damn good game itself), and I'd recommend it too, but this is huge. It's kind of odd that the game release I'm most excited about originally came out 15 years ago.

Dreamfall Chapters is the continuation of The Longest Journey (2000) and Dreamfall: The Longest Journey (2005). The first game won a shitload of awards. Granted, the original and even the sequel looks very dated in graphics, but the storyline is what makes it. In fact, I'll say there are very few games that pull off a story better. I haven't played the new one, but if it's anything other than amazing, I'll be let down. It looks quite beautiful in the previews. Planned on getting it from Steam, but I've been super busy. I may just get it on the PS4 now.

Annnnd PSN is taken down, again. This is getting real old.
Active Member
Xbox Live has been down today too. Apparently both have been having problems since yesterday
Active Member
I was having some problems last night. It sorted itself out. Worked ok for a little while today before going down completely. Hasn't been back since. Was playing Metro, which I bought off psn. So now I'm locked out. Kinda sucks to lock people out of games people bought. Especially when this stuff happens so frequently.
From what I've seen, lizard squad or whatever they're called took down psn and live. Either someone needs to up their game on avoiding these outages, or catch these douchebags.

Really sucks for people that have the day off of work and want to just relax and game with what little time they might even get to, these fucking assholes have no business screwing up everyone's holiday.
Quiet Member
Why are you locked out of Metro, it automatically downloads to your hard drive. Also this isn't ddos from lizard squad, it's a scheduled maintenance.

Licensing. I bought Far Cry 4 on Xbox One store and one day with server difficulties made the license null and the game unplayable.
I hate the Lizard Dicks so whether they did it or not, they deserve any bile and hatred tossed their way.
Active Member
It's not scheduled maintenance, they'd be insane to do that on Christmas Day
Active Member
The license verification doesn't help matters. Ok, I can't play online. I can deal with that for a little while. But, because of this I can't play many of my games, which I paid for. That pisses me off. Can't play any of my sports games, or any of the four games I bought yesterday because of their license verification policy.
tempus est umbra in mente
doing scheduled maintenance on Christmas Day is the most insane thing you would EVER fucking do. Who needs hackers if you're willing to take down your online service on Christmas Day during peak hours.
Throbbing Member
Yeah, no way they'd schedule that. They'd not only be frustrating end users, but seriously pissing off their software clientele and developers. Especially those games that require online access. All those kiddies that got Destiny spent Christmas unable to play any of it.
Active Member
No way they would do that. Then again, they allow a bunch of kids to consistently crash their network.

PSN is back up, by the way.
Active Member
On ps4? I heard it's up for only ps3, for now.
House Always Wins
Xbox One is up and running smooth.
Throbbing Member
PSN is still down for PS4 as of 11:05 EDT.
Active Member
I'm sure it'll be back up by tomorrow, until next time.
Throbbing Member
In terms of that extra Christmas revenue via the PS Store, I'd say Sony totally ate a bag of dicks today. DDOS, botnets, whatever, the amount of revenue they lost would probably afford them to invest in defense of that shit to avoid the embarrassment next time. That goes for MS and Live too. An all around bad day for those consoles. I suppose the WiiU kids were happy.
Active Member
They should've learned when they were brought down for a month, but they didn't. They were crashed before, and didn't seem to take any real measures. Now it happens again. This time, live got hit as well. This is going to keep happening unless something drastic happens.
House Always Wins
I'm not being an asshole but Sony needs to get their shit backed up, more secured and on a patrol watch to find issues. They keep getting fucked with since they refuse to address the past failures with these problems and morons keep exploiting them.
Active Member
The idea of "put a band aid on it and move on" isn't working. Their negligence is partially to blame for this.
House Always Wins
I also blame this whole Interview thing going on now as for another reason why they have their heads up their asses.
