Joe from GamersFTW write:Many of you have probably heard the news by now that Deus Ex: Mankind Divided has had its release date pushed back from February to August, and Eidos Montreal are claiming that this is to make sure that Mankind Divided is at the best quality possible at release. A lot of fans are saying that this is a good thing, claiming that they would prefer a well-performing game that takes a few months longer to be released rather than a game that’s rushed out of the door and is slammed for being unready...

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.
Amazon has announced the lineup of games to be added to Prime Gaming for the month of August, 2024 and it features Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.
If the delay is worthwhile then no we shouldn't be worried. Nice piece.
Hope that however they choose to up-date the game, it is a worthwhile wait for the fans.
From what I've seen so far there is nothing to worry about. The game looks superb and the developers are true to the series original concepts. This delay is a publishing move rather than development I'm sure.
If it's put on hold for good reason then it's going to be worth while however if they delay it and it still comes out looking like a BETA then they will have a backlash on their hands
I'm not worried one bit. Looking forward to stepping into jensens shoes again next year
