It is now evident that Sony emerged victorious at The Game Awards, largely due to the success of Astro Bot. Additionally, Microsoft’s recent announcement to discontinue the production of Xbox exclusives, and going Multiplatform has further shifted the competitive landscape. As a result, Nintendo now stands as Sony’s primary competitor in the gaming industry going…
Sometimes, giving something up free of charge can pay off in spades down the line. Sony packed in Astro’s Playroom with the PlayStation 5, free of charge. At first, I found the game to be an afterthought. I didn’t even play it. I thought it would be a tutorial of the system’s unique controller and…
I don’t think there’s ever been a game that has both offended and amazed me quite like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. My main issue with the Final Fantasy VIIPS4/PS5 sequel trilogy isn’t necessarily the fact that it’s a sequel set in an alternate timeline—parallel to the original game’s narrative—but rather the way it’s being marketed…
Sony’s announcement of its mid generation updated hardware, the PlayStation 5 Pro, caused quite a stir on social media last night. The console’s astronomically high price brought back memories of the 3DO era (though adjusted to inflation the 3DO was much more expensive). So, why is the price so high ? Well, Sony continues to…
A few years ago, when Microsoft was buying studios left and right, and even got into an epic legal battle with Sony over the Activision (Call of Duty) buyout. Many wondered if the software giant would use its considerable (if not nearly infinite) financial reserves to match, and eventually choke Sony out of the hardware…
Despite Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth being the highest rated (92 rating) Final Fantasy game on Metracritic since 2006’s Final Fantasy XII (92 rating). Back in April, industry analyst, Daniel Ahmad, said that research in sales tracking data revealed that the latest Final Fantasy game based on the franchise’s most popular game (Final Fantasy VII) is…
These days, I find that true open world western RPGs are a better fit for me than non Soulsborne/Zelda Japanese RPGs. Playing Maneater and its cheap Expansion to the very end within a week is confirmation of the growing chasm between myself and modern JRPGs. I shouldn’t have enjoyed Maneater as much as I did, but…
After the massive critical success of Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, Tetsuya Nomura (the game’s director) has been riding high within Square Enix, and in an interview with Japanese publication, Hentai no Hikaru, he shed light on the upcoming final episode of the FFVII Remake project. Nomura even talks about the potential, and possibilities of a…
With a fantastic 92 Metacritic rating, it looks like Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, the 2nd installment of the Final Fantasy VII “Remake” sequel project, has broken the Final Fantasy curse in terms of critical reception for the series. A 92 rating (and not a big Sony, or Nintendo title on the 2024 horizon) also means…
Given Square Enix’s recent financial woes, Final Fantasy XVI’s PS5 exclusivity was questioned by some. The game’s confinement to a single platform was bound to hurt its sales. In our review of the game we remarked that some of the texture work, and effects present in the game were of last generation quality. The confirmed…
