A look at the new console, inside and out.
In an industry with countless FIFAs, sorry EA Sports FCs, Sloclap’s Rematch is a brilliant arcade football game that feels incredibly unique. Putting players in the shoes of an individual player, the new multiplayer game is essentially Rocket League without the rockets and cars… it’s football.
TNS: Expedition 33 was the wake-up call Square Enix needed, telling it turn-based RPGs are still popular, but that shouldn't have been the case.
True, but if it does get it through their thick skulls, then that works.
Although, the Dragon Quest 1 + 2 HD remakes will be turn-based and (the worst kept secret) Final Fantasy IX remake should be turn-based I would imagine. Let's see if any newer games go turn-based too.
While it is true that Sqaure Enix has moved away from turn based games compared to how they were in the past, there is a good reason for it.
Older gamers will know this but during the ps2 era, we were flooded with turned based games from Japanese studios and this created a form of fatigue back then going into the next generation.
When Square released FF13, they received heavy criticism for making the game turned based like every other FF game and not doing enough to innovate. This is why they made FF15, FF7 Remake and FF16 have real time combat. It gave the series a fresh spin and has brought in new fans to the series.
I personally would be happy with either turned based FF or the real-time combat version we see today.
Only need to look at their own game DQ 11 approaching 10 million to show there's a market. And that's not as big of a name as FF
Another article about Expedition 33 and Square Enix and turn-based games? This is starting to sound like propaganda.
The game didn't sell because it's a turn-based game; it sold and is enjoyed because it's a really freaking good game that released completed at a good price without gamer drama attached to it. No Mtx, no wait-until-it's-patched, minimal bloat, a self-contained story, no multiplatform BS. Just a solid original game that absolutely nails what it intended to do.
Maybe try actually listening to the fans who have supported the series for decades. This habit of ignoring your core audience just to chase people who were never interested in Final Fantasy in the first place makes no sense. And when that approach fails, doubling down on it is beyond baffling.
The battle system has never been the main reason non-FF or non-JRPG players stayed away. Gutting the series’ identity to chase a broader market doesn’t attract new players. It just alienates the loyal ones.
Keep going down this road and we’ll end up with Final Fantasy Fortnite abomination or a F2P Battle Royale game.. Oh wait…
It was previously hinted that Xbox has stopped selling the physical disc of video games. Further proof of the gaming giant abandoning physical media has appeared as Cronos: The New Dawn will not be available on a physical disc for Xbox Series S|X.
Atp I'm not surprised I think nintendo will be the only ones due to consumers going to be physical media folks imo respect
So much for that games preservation team they set up
How can you go on about it games preservation but abandoned physical media
Funny... I have the full library of games from the 2nd gen on up to the 5th fully preserved in digital form as well as on a physical hard drive.
Am I doing it right?
I've got a photo preserved on a web storage service... until it's not because that service goes away. Only, in your case, you can't just move the photo wherever you want. Not the best preservation plan when it relies on Xbox always being around.
Look, I get digital is fine enough for people and, for the most part, will work fine for a good long while. But preservation isn't about 'being there as long as the company that controls it exists' but making it available 50+ years from now or 100+ years from now without having to rebuy it over and over and over and over and over on new services.
Because PR is the point. It IS the point. MS has many differnt accomplishments it can hang on its neck but above all is its commitment to Public Relations. Its legendary and its has nothing to do with what the company is actually doing. What Microsoft will do is survey gaming content creator and find out what they are talking about and then focus an absurdly intense PR beam at that specific issue.
5 years and physical media exists only as special collector items. cds, dvds, blurays will be completely gone from the shelves. Sadly.

I hope they make it smaller
Its a mini-pc Box. No, it doesnt seem a console. In other words, if gamers dont know that this is a console any one would say that this was just a small PC tower. The console is very fast, but the Cell in what year? run at 3.2. The problem was the huge downgrade for this gen. The Serie X is 3 times fatter then the X, but with all that tech, its impossible to be smaller.
2020 is both sucking and managing to be absolutely brilliant at the same time. We're getting revolutionary new tech advancements in gaming (pc and console), new hdmi format, televisions with variable refresh, auto low latency, eArc, ntsc 3.0 tuners, etc. etc, av receivers with the updated capabilities to go along with the tv's, so much more......yet we suffer with a pandemic which threatens life and business to what degree is not known at this stage. Could be global catastrophe, or could stabilize over the coming months. Wild year ahead.
I guess this time they arent risking it. They dont want them over heating.
Its 1cm taller than the 1X standing up...thats amazing!
