Sony make deals to provide downloadable movies to PSP owners. Sony has finally put the last nail in the coffin of UMD with the revelation that it's in talks with Amazon.com, MovieLink and CinemaNow to provide digital movie downloads to PSP owners.
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?
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.
Final Fantasy XVI producer Naoki Yoshida is interested in working on a brand new Final Fantasy Tactics game.
Not from you.
Knowing how you handled FF16 by trying to make it appeal to non-fans and changing the entire gameplay design I can see you changing Tactics to appeal to non-fans.
If they’re going to do this please give it to someone who wants to keep the game and genre in tact.
I wouldn't mind a new FF Tactics longs they keep the tactical elements of Tactics in it as well as a very in depth story. Which FF Tactics years ago has by far one of the best stories in the series.
Look for a similar announcement for Blu-ray in 2008.
...I got a PSP in the first place. Was like having a portable Plasma screen in your pocket - the picture was so clear. However, 6 months of waiting for movies that would be priced accordingly, all we got here in New Zealand were UMD movies that were more expensive than the DVD!
With UMDs being so expensive I decided to compress from DVD. Oh, but wait. Sony make you compress in a resolution that makes that screen look like you're playing back a video cassette. If Sony do the download thing how many memory cards are you going to have to buy to make it worthwhile? the PSP needed an HDD from day one but Sony new they could screw more out of the consumer by making them buy the Pro-Duo memory stick.
Basically, who cares what Sony does. I will not be investing in any more of their technology as I'm sick and tired of them dictating the format and resolution I can play anything back in.
...but not very realistic. Sony just trying to make people spend more money buying a bigger memory stick imho.
...lol
