It's been a long time coming...

...almost there.

Ashunderfire863812d ago

It's been a long time coming, and I want this game and Kingdom Hearts 3 now.

Lilrizky3812d ago (Edited 3812d ago )

It's been THAT long, that i fear for the series if it doesn't meet expectations.

But from what i've seen it looks incredible

Summons753812d ago

Well considering once again people are putting the expectations so high that there is no way the game could live up to them... why not just reserve judgement for when you play and play with a completely open mind?

It does look incredible though, I can't wait and I will love it (or better) just like I loved 13

3-4-53812d ago

This game looks awesome.

Magicite3812d ago

This game kinda reminds me of FF12 - long time in production, huge budget, new/innovative combat system, almost open-world, incredibly good graphics for its time.

Damn!!!! Must buy. This is literally the best looking open world game since, Infamous Second Son! Everything is so open they manage to keep the CGI graphics intact, with huge level of details to the characters.

Heyxyz3812d ago

Is this turn-based? I've never played a FF game (yet I'm a big JRPG fan, go figure), but I'm pretty sure they're turn based. However(from the gameplay I've seen), this looks more like a hack and slash game. So is this turn based or hack and slash with RPG elements?

NoctisPendragon3812d ago (Edited 3812d ago )

Action RPG not an hack and slash.
In an hack and slash you cant fight a real sized Titan or Leviathan.

josephayal3812d ago

agree with u, no turn based no buy

josephayal3812d ago

nice graphics terrible battle system, thank you SE

NoctisPendragon3812d ago (Edited 3812d ago )

A magazine just tried the gameplay today :
they said it was breath-taking and gave a 5/5 , the gameplay is getting close from perfect .
Try making a "breath-taking" gameplay than come again .
Thanks.

It is in french but there surly is an english version somewhere :

TomDent_3812d ago

Is this an online article? If so, can you link it?

seppo913812d ago

Man, Im even looking forward to this game, But thats gotta be a lie. "A magazine"? Really? Oh and they even scored the battlesystem a 5/5 based on a preview? Who coulda thought.

NoctisPendragon3812d ago (Edited 3812d ago )

1st this isnt a lie , 2nd wait 1 or 2 hours and everyone will know.

vishmarx3812d ago

you dont even know how it plays for god's sake.
all weve seen are basic 'attack' commands
no magic
no techs
to co op attacks
no summons
no limit breaks
nothing
theres going to be a battle tutorial stream in feb and a playable demo in march.
come back after that and say the same

seppo913812d ago

Yeah we have seen very little of the game, hope it turns out great :)

Eiyuuou3812d ago

Oh my... I didn't realise you'd already played it?

F0XHOUND3812d ago

Epic, can't wait to see every corner of the world. I can just imagine all the gorgeous forests and colourful terrain... think of gran pulse but even better and full of character!

Six Times When Games Turned Into A Horror Game

Ever play a game a game only to discover at some point it transforms into a horror game? No? Well Netto's Game Room shares six games that do just that!

Immediately thought of the El Dorado zombie dudes in Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.

raWfodog50d ago (Edited 50d ago )

Not necessarily a ‘horror’ moment, but I remember feeling really tense and anxious when the Flood were first introduced in the original Halo. I never felt more on edge or nervous in that whole game as that moment. I think it was the whole buildup that something terrible was coming but you didn’t know exactly what.

Another non-horror game that had me feeling it was Subnautica. The deep dark depths, and knowing that sea monsters were lurking nearby, had me jumping at every sound.

NettosGameRoom50d ago

That scene where you first see them attack is pretty crazy!

Relientk7750d ago

I remember being scared of the Asylum level in the most recent Thief game from 2014.

always liked 15, but the development was shch a shitshow. it could have been so much more.

but Tabata did a good job with what he had regardless

DivineHand125185d ago

Ff15 was a missed opportunity from square as they transitioned from turn based to real time.

One of the issues is that it was 30 fps. The combat mechanics required precision dodges to activate Noctis teleport ability and it was difficult to do at 30 fps. I am glad they rectified that in FF16. The story and flow also felt like it went through a chopshop similar to how some live service games end up when they are trying to meet a deadline. Those extra episodes they sold as dlc should have been in the maingame.

FF15 is one of the weaker entries in the series.

Z501184d ago

Dodges don't activate the teleport ability. Teleport was R1 + O. Dodge was just the O button. Explain the Black Hood (the item that automatically Dodges for you)

TheNamelessOne185d ago

Ah yes; FF XV.
The beginning of me coming to the realization the series was no longer for me.

Michiel1989184d ago

16 was a lot better, I think 15 was just a big mess with how development went and all. The music though, one of the best in the series, probably the only reason I finished the game.

Cacabunga184d ago

At least FF15 had RPG elements . 16 was just an action game from beginning to end.

Michiel1989184d ago

I rather have a good action game than a bad rpg with 2 button combat

Cacabunga184d ago (Edited 184d ago )

Then call it something else then FF. I got scammed with FF16. Nothing of what i expected it to be.
Even the action is bad in it, especially after the demo section where absolutely nothing happens until the very end.

FF15 isnt a great game but it has some variety at least.

CrimsonWing69185d ago

That initial trailer with the Leviathan fight was the game I wish we got. The actual retail release was watchdogged to all Hell and while there’s enjoyment to be had in the game, it’s such an incomplete product and so many elements feel so slapped together without any cohesion.

Like, don’t get me wrong, I loved fishing, cooking, and the first third of the game, but I much rather they made a story that didn’t feel barely there and the the last third of the game didn’t feel so rushed and unfinished.

Becuzisaid184d ago

Every time a party member left for a period of time screamed future paid dlc. It was horrible.

Imagine Dagger and Steiner making the party go to sleep in Lindblum in FF9 disc 1 and then taking off to Alexandria by foot themselves, but then never playing their side of the adventure in disc 2 when they smuggle her through the South Gate in pickles, take the cable car and fight the Waltz, head to Treno and start the quest to find Supersoft. They just eventually reunite with the main party in the future without explanation of what went on in their adventure.

Or Sephiroth's backstory in the famous Kalm flashback being added as a dlc pack. Same goes for Vincent, Cid, or Yuffie for that matter.

Oh and anything to do with Jenova, the Ancients, Aerith, her mom and Gast, shoved into a 2 hour CG movie or 5 hour anime ministries that's considered required viewing for anything in the main game to make sense or have characters actually be interesting.

I enjoyed FF15 at the time, and finished it, but it's bright spots are marred by a bad development cycle and a worse marketing scheme.

CrimsonWing69184d ago

What’s sad is when I watched a vid on the entire story (that wasn’t properly told in the actual game)!it was really solid and could’ve been one of the most epic stories in any FF. I think a lot of the compilation and cross-media stuff really f*cked it all up.

gurp185d ago

FFXV was underrated in my opinion
I have played all of the final fantasy games, and I loved this game
turn based to me takes too long, I like active battle
the extra dlc and chapters should have been included in the original release, but it is nice that they fixed the game later

Glad that I absolutely can't stand subscription services.

Petebloodyonion436d ago (Edited 436d ago )

I don't recall Sony forcing you to subscribe like nobody forced you to go to Blockbuster to rent games instead of buying them.

SonyStyled436d ago

Pay-per-view was almost cheaper than the cost of gas and rental fee from Blockbuster. Blockbuster doesn’t exist today. Are you being sarcastic?
