Posted by Chieh Chen on Apr 28, 2014 // Digital Distribution Manager, Sony Network Entertainment: "Hey everyone! I’m excited to announce we’re celebrating acclaimed Japanese games on PS3 and PS Vita as part of the Golden Week Sale starting tomorrow and running through May 5th. In Japan, Golden Week encompasses four national holidays, and doubles as the biggest travel and shopping season of the year. This week, we pay homage to this tradition with a golden (wink) opportunity to pick up some awesome games at up to 50% off. PlayStation Plus members get an added bonus, receiving up to 75% off."
It's long been thought that a Chrono Trigger remake is impossible, but the Super Mario RPG remake could pave the way.
It's already been said that they weren't motivated to do anything with the series unless the gang was back together, not really for any legal reasons.
Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition owes its existence to the fact that the devs at Square Enix were afraid that the original version of the classic Japanese RPG was about to become "unplayable."
I don't know why they were worried. Emulation has ensured the game (and every other PS1 game for that matter) will live on forever. Maybe they're so out of touch they aren't even aware emulators are a thing.
So many games are way more "unplayable" than Chrono Cross, which at least had a rerelease as a PS1 Classic on PS3.
Why wasn’t Chrono Trigger included in this?
This should’ve been a celebration of the entire Chrono series
A third Chrono series game called Chrono Break was planned, but Square prioritized an MMORPG, and Chrono Break’s concepts were used in mobile games.
Kinda misleading title, even from reading the article itself.
The staff and management couldn’t come to an agreement and the team moved on. Part of the team went to creat ff11 and the rest to Monolith software. Ideas for this game were implemented in some form to mobile games-later on. Which make sense as early 2000s mobile phones were not as powerful.
Hope for a good Media Create/Famitsu on Wednesday!
Holy hell those are some good deals. Muramasa Rebirth is a steal.
Wow that is a great deal for the symphonia games. I'll probably pick that up as well as the Zone of the Enders games. I'm really tempted to pick up rain as well.
Omg. Tales of Symphonia Chronicles for $10? Getting it for sure.
Decided to pick up:
Tales Of Symphobnia Collection (10$)
Rain (3$)
Time and Eternity (9$)
I'd say that's a great haul for 24$
Opinions on Atelier Ayesha and Hyperdimension would be appreciated.
Would get P4G too if I had a PSVita
I'm debating whether to pick those up too.
