One moment you are experiencing gaming bliss and the next that game disk is sure looking attractive as a frisbee. This is one of the most consistent things about playing Infinite Undiscovery the newest offering from Tri-Ace, developers of the Valkyrie Profile and Star Ocean series.
Wait… what the heck sort of name is that? Infinite Undiscovery?! While it's likely supposed to evoke some sort of sensation of wonder or something but that's just a nightmare of abuse towards the English language."
Pros:
+Intriguing story
+Fun, believable characters
+Real-time combat works great
+Variety of skills and tactics to be employed in combat
Cons:
-Flat, lifeless backgrounds
-Horrendous lip-synching
-Combat system really needs a block button
-Fights sometimes feel totally devoid of strategy
-Uneven difficulty
The gaming community lately makes jokes about companies making games that look like "PS3" or "PS2" games. While this is such a nasty dig, there may be some truth to this in the case of tri-Ace.
Sad really. I used to love these guys but man...they just aren't what they used to be.
The Cod games have been using an engine built in the mid 90s. Nothing wrong with using an old engine if they update it. Bioshock used UE2 and looked better than most UE3 games. Arkham knight used UE3 and looked better than most UE4 games.
Sh it does suck but I enjoyed star ocean 6 the most out of any game last year. I thought it was solid af start to finish. My favorite game that year.
I'd love for Sony to get ahold of them.
To late to edit but I just wanted to add not every game that comes out needs to push a consoles boundaries. Star ocean 6 looked fairly good to me.
Yeah. They definitely squeezed every drop out of that engine for SO6. It was a fun game
I assume you are talking about "Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness" which I do have and am still playing. IMHO it is a good game but for some reason I still prefer "Star Ocean: The Last Hope" that I played on my PS3.
As a side note I have "Star Ocean: Till the End of Time" (PS2 version) which I played on my first gen PS3 but unfortunatly the Australian version of the PS3 did not have full backwards capability like the US version did. I got so far in the game and hit a bug (advancement to a new area between two mountains) that prevented further play.
During the Inside Xbox live stream today, developers from the backwards compatibility team announced that the program would sadly be coming to a close.
What a good run. Assuming every og xbox, 360, and One title will be available on Scarlett. Will make next gen transition easy. Hats off!!
As long as they continue adding more BC once the Scarlett comes out.
The current game selection on Game Pass is impressive, but it’s still missing a handful of big games.Here are the 10 most dumbfounding omissions from Game Pass.
