Pixelitis Picks: Our virtual forbidden loves

"Let’s face it: we’ve all been there.

We’re all drawn so deeply into games that we form all sorts of different connections with the characters we watch and control. That attraction can be so deep that, in our young minds we wished these fantastic characters were real so we could get to know them better.

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, we thought we’d make this week’s Pixelitis Picks in line with the spirit of that widely-celebrated “Hallmark” holiday. Yep, a selection of videogame character crushes. We were kids!"

Good list. A few games I had completely forgotten about.

Scissorman129d ago

Man, Silent Bomber is such a gem of a game, and massively underrated.

Alos88129d ago

There was actually at attempt at a new Hogs of War kickstarter last year, but it did really poorly and failed to make it's goal.

Chrono Cross was remastered because the devs feared the classic JRPG becoming "unplayable"

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.

phoenixwing793d ago

I think they want to be in mainstream not just emulation niche

CantThinkOfAUsername793d ago

Emulation will always be worse than a native port.

sadraiden792d ago

PS1 emulation is essentially perfect. Maybe not frame perfect in the same way that hardware emulation can deliver, but you can't tell the difference. You can run epsxe or duckstation on a potato PC.

Pedrof793d ago

So many games are way more "unplayable" than Chrono Cross, which at least had a rerelease as a PS1 Classic on PS3.

FallenAngel1984793d ago

Why wasn’t Chrono Trigger included in this?

This should’ve been a celebration of the entire Chrono series

DivineHand125793d ago

Based on Square's logic, Chrono Trigger had no risk of being lost to time because you can currently get that game on Android, iOS and PC while the only version of Chrono Cross that existed was on the original PS1 and playstation classics for PS3, PSP and PS Vita. Those consoles are discontinued.

I would love to see them give Chrono Trigger the ff7 remake treatment minus it being episodic.

FallenAngel1984793d ago (Edited 793d ago )

Square Enix has no problem rereleasing their Final Fantasy titles as often as they do. Should apply that logic to CT as well

If Chrono Trigger did get a remake it’d be on the scale of Trials of Mana, Live a Live or DQIII rather than FFVII

shinoff2183793d ago

I'd be fine with that. Stay truer to the original. Combat , everything. Although I enjoyed ff7r the combat nearly put me off the game. I didn't mind the changes to the story.

Chard793d ago

The Steam port of Chrono Trigger, since all of the updates it received, is quite close to being flawless, I wish they’d go the final mile and make the remaining fixes, which should be easy for them to do

Ronmaest793d ago

The most epic game Square has made.
