Might pick this one up on Xbox One X. Played the original on PS4 regular, and could use the visual upgrade when I want to replay it.

wait another year for the rest of the dlc.

RpgSama2662d ago

I almost bought it before they announced the Royal edition thinking that was going to be it, thank go I waited, now I'll keep hanging on for another year when I can be able to purchase the complete FFXV experience

I'm shocked that they don't have a cheaper upgrade path for season pass + royal edition. I own the base game on PS4. Never got the season pass. So at this point if I want the pass & royal content, I'm paying $40. On top of the game I already purchased. Now, I'm not saying I expect things for free - it is weird to see the number of people who feel as "day one supporters" they are being screwed...editions with more content for cheaper later is how it works, right? - but it seems a bit strange that they didn't try to entice people like me to just get it all in one fell swoop at like...$30 or something.

As it stands, given the full Royal Edition is $50, and since I have a PC that can crank this (and the demo is beauuutiful with everything turned up), I guess I'll just ultimately buy it again on PC for cheaper down the line and get another copy of the game for less. Hell, I could buy it for $37 through GreenManGaming before launch at one point. Less than the extra content to get my OG copy on PS4 on par. Just a kind of weird price point they've stuck things at.

It doesn't entice me to pick the extra content up the way it is, but hopefully they'll keep tweaking this game. It needs some kind of directors cut down the line with more gaps filled in. Game was pretty fun, but that story was a mess. The last half absolutely fell apart and they split too much of the story across too many mediums.

Harkins17212661d ago

Its because they had a deadline when this game needed another year plus in full development. It currently has 70% its staff and is chugging out some decent content but yes SE should have waited because this game restarted in 2012 and just came out to early.

They didnt know if this game would flop or succeed but because it did well thats why were getting so many patches. Think the RE should have finished this years season pass though.

Ranking the Final Fantasy XV Royal Edition DLC Episodes

Rango writes: I recently beat Final Fantasy XV Royal Edition for the first time and I've got to say it was an impressive game. Now that I've finished tackling the DLC episodes, I would like to briefly cover each episode and how well they stack up with one another and the core game as a whole.

Episode Ignis is the best...not even a debate.
Of the episodes in the Royal Edition.

I haven't played Episode Ardyn though. It's on my mind now. Right after Death Stranding then.

Teflon021349d ago

I forgot to try them. This reminded me I've never done them. I may have to go back and do them now

Snookies121349d ago

You are correct, Ignis had the best DLC hands down.

Iltapalanyymi1348d ago

still mad they cancelled the other dlc episodes

Next-Gen: The Backwards-Compatibility Anomaly

The PlayStation 5 has beat out Series X in many multiplatform comparisons to varying degrees. Last-gen games, however, showcase a major role reversal with Series X offering a more tangible advantage.

It's not an anomaly, MS spent all last gen working on their BC software, Sony just started. Will we see it expand to meet MSs version? Who knows, would be cool, but i wouldn't hold my breath. Just greatful we get any for of BC honestly

phoenixwing1553d ago

this mentality melts away once you get a pc. then it's not about luck it's about gaming with a complete library :)

Sunny123451553d ago

Lol complete library with not a single exclusive goty in the last 10 years. I think pc had like 2 exclusive games above the meta of 90 online past 5-7 years. No thanks to your mediocre library

phoenixwing1553d ago

You have to be really delusional to hate on pc gaming library that spans around 40 years.

isarai1553d ago

I have a PC, it isn't that easy, especially with older games where you have to start running off dos, fiddling with compatibility modes or virtual machines. Sure modern games are fine, but if we're talking going back as far as consoles, it's not easy

AndrewM1552d ago

Just recently got a gaming pc for first time in over 12 years....and your comment is still dumb.

Dragonopolis1552d ago (Edited 1552d ago )

Its not a totally dumb comment but a bit harsh. As far as a full library..... most are generic knock offs of popular games within their genre. 60%-70% of the games are blah on pc.

Add in all the cheaters and exploiters makes online pc gaming not fun.

Also in the PC world the regular gamer who has the most expensive hardware is at major advantage over those gamers who stick to basic controls mechanisms. Great Hardware goes a long way in overcoming poor strategies. Hardware can make or brake a gamer, no matter how good they are, and paying for premium PC hardware is a must for any serious gamer on PC

Type 40 or more wordspm and a macro keyboard is godlike on PC

@Sunny12345

You're missing the point dude. With PC you don't just get PC games, you get ALL the games.

I love that the new hardware is bringing a new lease on life to existing games. Hell... I'd love it if Sony could add in PS3 support at some point as well. I know i will get disagrees who think new machine means 'only' new games but we are seeing new experiences with existing games. So why not embrace the benefits of making something old feel new again?

Orchard1553d ago (Edited 1553d ago )

Totally agree - I would love PS3 backwards compatibility. I'd love to replay MGS4 on a modern console at 60FPS (or even a stable 30fps if Konami won't patch it - the game struggles a bit on PS3).

Fist4achin1553d ago

Full BC would be the greatest!

dmonee1553d ago

Are we still doing this? I thought fanboy articles were a ps3, xbox360 thing?

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1552d ago

Thank God last gen games are BC and better than ever because if it weren't for them we'd all still be playing Demon's Soul's and The Medium for the last 5 months....
