Sean Davies of PSGamer: In total, I have owned 7 copies of Sonic The Hedgehog 2 since it released in 1992 across the Mega Drive, Dreamcast, PC, PS3, Mobile and as part of numerous “SEGA Genesis Collections”. It is a game I would gladly play again today for one reason and one reason alone – excellent game play. The 90′s graphics have aged well (compared to other games from the era) but even if there were no graphical improvements, I would still buy an 8th copy of the game for the PS4.
Sleeping Dogs Remastered on the other hand? No. Definitely not. Not even with updated graphics. 100 times no.

Well Nintendo and Squaresoft is where he started. I totally understand why he doesn't want to do FF now. If so I'm happy for either a remaster of Last Story or a new entry/spiritual successor. Loved the battle system of Last Story.
Wish my parents bought me a NES as a kid I would have played the first FF game. But I was lucky to have a SNES I played a bit of FF6 and just went to Chrono Trigger. When the FF collection releases I-VI Collection Anniversary drops I will take my time to play each Final Fantasy.
I mean… this is kinda obvious. The original final fantasy and its early sequels were on…
Square Enix announced its financial results for the three-month period which started on April 1 and ended on June 30, 2024.
They need more exclusives. That's the smart thing to do for 3rd party developers. /S
Here are some concerns regarding FF 7 Rebirth:
1) Completion rate of Part 1: Can Square Enix expect those who haven't finished Part 1 to purchase Part 2 at $70?
2) Requirement of a PS5: If someone enjoyed Part 1 on PS4, is there a significant advantage in purchasing a PS5 for the game, especially when PS4 continues to release new games?
3) Exclusivity issues.
Final thoughts on FF7: Cherish and relish Part 3, as it's likely the last time Square Enix will undertake such a project. Anticipate that future remakes will be scaled down or merely remastered.
Sales are down because pixel remaster sold 2+million and FF16 sold 3 million+ during the same time period last year and i don't think any big(or any?) square enix game released from april to june 30th of this year.
I am not sure why some sources put this in a negative light. Square had no major releases this quarter so it makes sense the sales would be less. What's good is than they found a way to lower their expenses to increase their profits given that no one was laid off.
The Square Enix CEO has recently confirmed in a shareholders' meeting that it is still working hard on multiple small-sized games.
I thought they said they were focusing on bigger games… so, we’re staying the same now?
Well I don’t mind more HD-2D games.. preferably something like FFVI, Chrono Trigger, or Xenogears.
I fully expect to see a Hitman: Absolution "definitive edition" and a Final Fantasy XIII collection for both PS4/X1. Hell you might even see a port of Deus Ex: Human Revolution "director's cut" for the PS4/X1.
Square Enix is trying to tied people over until the next installments of these games because as we all know Square takes forever to even make games.
I am not sure how bothered I am by this, I never the played it first time round so might pick it up. The more games the better to be honest you don't have to pick it up. The more people by it (as cheap for se to develop) the more money they will pending on the sequel.
No if there's a sequel in development that continues the story of SD1. Some people will be turned off if they are Xbox One and PS4 only owners who never played the original.
Since they're on a roll, can we get FFXII INZJS HD?
PLZ
Would like to see final fantasy 1 remastered or kingdom hearts remastered lol
