I'm sure @Dezzy didn't mean turning FF7 remake into another DS game. It's just that a company like From Software is much more capable to delivering something on time than Square Enix.
Souls games are also empty worlds with no towns; few, poorly voice acted quests; and not much in the way of story.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake is presumably going to be a singleplayer party-based RPG with some elements of action set in an open world game with tons of side quests, voice acting, cutscenes, mini games, and boss battles.
You guys are utterly lying to yourselves if you think the first takes as much work to make as the second.
All I said was get them to design the world because that's something they're clearly capable of doing much quicker than other developers. Whether their worlds are empty or not, they are absolutely huge and very detailed.
Same thing Nintendo did in getting Monolithsoft to help with the Zelda world, because they had more experience doing open worlds.
@Dezzy Monolith team that helps Nintendo/Zelda team is from Kyoto. The Xenoblade team is based in Tokyo. The Kyoto team also helped with Splatoon, Pikmin 3 and a few other titles. They didn't help because they had experience with open world games, they helped because that's what their job is. Assisting Nintendo with their big games.
As for PS+, this months line up is the best one in blooming ages:
Until Dawn – PS4
Game of Thrones: A Telltale Series – PS4
That’s You – PS4 (4th July onwards)
Tokyo Jungle – PS3
Darkstalkers Resurrection – PS3
Don’t Die Mr Robot – PS Vita (cross-buy with PS4)
Element4l – PS Vita
Except it still sucks, since we have: Yet another Telltale game, another Horror game (now they can say "there's no money in the horror genre" because they keep giving them all away), more C-tier platformers, no variety, and 4 out of 6 games have been PS+ free games at least once or twice before, while all except Game of Thrones have been on sale at extremely low prices dozens of times, and will probably be on sale again before the year's out, if not before the end of this summer. This is kind of getting frustrating, if only because of the general lack of variety.
@Haru17 Huh! I honestly couldn’t tell that you were talking about the PS+ line-up...
Yeah, there’s always a good game every once in a while, and Rocket Leagues’ popularity got the best possible start by being ‘free’ back in August 2015. Look at where it is today; millions of games are being played monthly and a Switch version is (thankfully) on its way too.
Last year alone, $1,200 worth of games were a part of the monthly PS+ selection, and for $60 (although you can always find it cheaper than this), I don’t understand the numerous and oft ungrateful complaints.
I have played NBA 2K16, Gone Home, Furi, Journey, Resident Evil, Transformers: Devastation, Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, The Deadly Tower of Monsters, Invisible, Inc., Day of the Tentacle Remastered, LittleBigPlanet 3, Tearaway Unfolded, Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime, Alienation, Tales from the Borderlands, Killing Floor 2 and Life is Strange since last September.
And that’s not including the other games that I either already had, or the ones that didn’t take my fancy.
If you don’t think that that’s good value, I would simply say that you are a rather choosey so-and-so.
@CanisWolfred Eh? Please lead me the way to a game that plays like Until Dawn.
‘Another horror game’ is not the first - nor the hundredth - thing that most folks would say about Until Dawn!
There’s ‘another horror game’, a Telltale take on The Games of Thrones, a new social multiplayer game as part of the PlayLink intuitive that allows you to use smart phones and tablets as a controller, one of the best and most unique PlayStation 3 games (there’s literally nothing like Tokyo Jungle), a great fighting game and two indie games for the PS Vita.
Perhaps this months line-up isn’t to your taste, if you don’t think that’s (somehow) enough variety?
I’m also curious to see what are those four games that have been offered once, let alone twice! Absolutely none of the above games have been available before, and I have been a PS+ member since 2012.
Anybody really enjoy the Uncharted series? Man, I just can't get into them. The jumping and actions are all so floaty, and the gameplay is just the same cycle of platforming, enter seemingly empty room, bad guys enter empty room, eliminate bad guys, repeat. Mix in a corridor runner every now and then.
I really want to like them, but I just don't see why these are hailed as good games. The story is definitely a rollicking adventure, but I've clawed my way through the first two games, and I'm very near the end of the third, but I'm typing this as I just put down the controller again, not sure if I can muster the strength to get through the last bit.
@Peek-a-boo I hold my right to be choosey so-so, then. You can also can retain the right to be a Sony's white knight for whatever reason you choose. I personally feel like we've been seeing the same for quite a while now, and most of the general choices have been worse than on the PS3. Granted, I think a lot of that had to to with when they were introduced and why - no one needed PS+ on the PS3, whereas now we're forced to if we want to play online, so of course they could afford to throw in full retail games and fairly new games.
Then again, I'm already still miffed that I have to pay a subscription for online services that already used to get for free, and the only consolation are some free indie games and horror junk. It's like getting a gift basket full of fruit you're allergic to, given to you by the guy who just committed highway robbery.
Also, I got confused as to which games were available for free. I thought I got Tokyo Jungle for free, but apparently I got it during a sale for a fairly negligible price. At the very least, the sales are still good. So I guess it's more like getting a gift basket that contains the address of the person who just committed highway robbery, still requiring that you call the police and file a report, and forcing a search, when the guy could've just turned himself in and maybe they could've gotten to it before some other random hoodlums made away with your hubcaps. :T
@Octane
Oh, for sure all games have their own formula, but I just can't get past the floaty and clunky controls. It makes the gameplay maddening for me. And random invisible ledges and jaggies that completely stop your character when you're trying to maneuver during combat or insta-kill you during corridor runs. The controls are not crisp at all, and that just makes a barrier for me to get invested, I guess.
I got my digital gift basket from the Sony E3 thing. Alot of stuff useless to me, so if you guys want...
-A dreadnaught fleet pack(for a game I guess is called Dreadnaught, lol)
-Let it die avatar pack
-Startrek bridge crew enterprise avatar
-Matterfall Avalon Darrow E3 Avatar
-MLB The Show 2017 E3 Exclusive pack
-Monster Hunter World Avatars (Hunter and Rathalo)
-Monster Hunter World theme
-Paragon Firewall Grim.EXE skin
-Lawbreakers: Rise of Fall Dynamic theme
Let me know. I have three of each. Each also came with $15 psn credit per card, but I used those all on friends. I was mistakenly given 3 of the cards, but thankfully they had plenty of leftovers anyway so no one missed out at my theater. First come first serve, and obviously I'll need to send the codes privately.
@rallydefault I like them, but I think a lot of the reason why I like them is the story and characters. If the games didn't have good stories and characters, I don't think I would play them.
It isn't all that far off when people call them interactive movies. They're not a game most people would play more than once or twice. That's not to say they're bad games, but it's the same thing with movies. No matter how enjoyable they are, you watch them once, and then maybe watch them a couple more times over the years.
@CanisWolfred You just sound like a grumpy old man in all honesty.
Thank you, I've been working on my cane shaking. Seriously, I just wanted an audience today, because it was either you, or I go on PS Blog, and the latter could theoretically get my account suspended.
