Re: Rumour: The Voice Of Metal Gear Solid's Snake Hints That A Second Remake Is On The Way

The thing is Konami is just licensing their IPs out they're not going to be making it themselves. The Bluepoint MGS rumor has been floating around for 6 months now so it's likely if it's true that Konami simply licensed out MGS to Sony to do this remake. Pair it with the rumor that Microsoft is looking to secure Kojima's next game as an exclusive on Xbox we may be getting a showdown of MGS vs. Kojima's new game on competing platforms. Sad to say, but Switch won't really be seeing any of this action.

Re: Review: The Legend Of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV - Impenetrable To Newcomers, But A Gripping Finale

Small correction to the review, while Trails is part of the Dragon Slayer series it's pretty much its own self contained story and isn't related to the previous Dragon Slayer games that came before it. It contains the following games:

Trails in the Sky FC
Trails in the Sky SC
Trails in the Sky the 3rd
Trails From Zero
Trails to Azure
Trails of Cold Steel
Trails of Cold Steel II
Trails of Cold Steel III
Trails of Cold Steel IV
Hajimari no Kiseki (Trails of the Dawn/Beginnings)
Kuro no Kiseki (Trails of Darkness)

Zero and Azure haven't been released officially in english yet, but both have excellent fan translations that you can play on PC. Hajimari will probably get an english localization announced soon and Kuro is releasing in Japan later this year.

The president of Falcom said we're about 60% through the story so expect it to keep going for a bit longer.

@Heavyarms55 it's best to think of this series as the Marvel Cinematic Universe of JRPGs. Each arc is it's own self contained story, but it's all part of a much larger story and unresolved plot threads and characters from previous games show up in later games and continue their stories there so it's best to just play them in order. However you can play Cold Steel 1 and most of Cold Steel 2 without any previous knowledge, but by the time you get to 2's epilogue and especially once you get into Cold Steel III I would highly recommend having played all the previous games before Cold Steel 1.
