The PSP didn't exactly storm out of the gate, either. And now, 80 million+ sales later, are we really going to call the PSP a failure? This sounds familiar...
Acquire, famous for games like Tenchu and Octopath Traveler, becomes KADOKAWA subsidiary. Can this mean a revival for beloved series?
I would kill to have a Way of the Samurai game with a huge budget and modern tech... The first game was one of my greatest joys on PS2 back in the day. And I really hope From Software will do something with Tenchu... I hate that they're just sitting on the IP like it doesn't even exist.
Tenchu would be superb in this day and age. Ninja and samurai games are hot right now and more is better.
Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?
Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.
Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...
... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.
Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣
Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.
Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.
Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.
It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.
I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.
Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.
Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.
Uncover secrets, defeat challenging bosses, and upgrade your arsenal in these exciting Metroidvania titles on the PlayStation Vita.
And remember when the PS3 started slow? Look where it is now, pumping out exclusives left to right and having strong sales numbers that are nearly equal to Xbox 360 now.
People love hating on new consoles, the 3DS received the same hate treatment, but now that PS Vita is out and selling far less, it's all doom and gloom for it (vita). In a year tops it will be a completely different story, maybe the shift will go to the next gen console, who knows, either way we are going to see a lot more of these next year when MS or Sony announced their next console.
@Below
Not only that, but Doom and Gloom articles are the best kind when it comes to getting site hits. Look, every website goal is to get hits, I understand that but there are far more legit ways to get the same affect.
This is why you give things time.
Playing SD Gundam G Generation World right now.
Its awesomely fun
Like I said before the gaming media on the internet has corrupted and perverted the way many kids today think of video games.
Its ridiculous sales, sales figures,sales trivia, whoring.
Good luck to those who are infected with this dreadful disease. See if you can shake that disease.
Hardware and software and game companies are mainly judged on sales figures without even hands on experience with them products.
You guys know who are responsible for this foolishness. Who brought upon us this false view of success.
The power of the dark side is very strong in this gen.
The only way to shake this off is go back to your gaming roots when you were younger and never mind the fanboy, console war bollocks.
Enjoy your gaming machines & games regardless of sales figures.
Less listening to the blood sucking gaming media and sales fanboys.
They can distort bend twist the truth for all I care.
Nature has a natural way with dealing with them.
Happy gaming to all, specially to those who play software and hardware that "sold less'.
Actually this is very different from how i remember the psp launch.
I remember it being very successful and by far outselling the ds. Then a month later GTA came out and blew everyone away. It wasn't until six month or so later when the ds lite hit with brain training and new super Mario bros. That things swung the other way. After that Nintendo kinda ran away with it.
That's how it happened in the UK anyway
The Vita is gonna do better after some more major releases, like GTA
