An inspired piece of Final Fantasy 7 fan service, and a very good remaster, but as a standalone game the story and gameplay has very little value.
The hugely popular Final Fantasy 7 universe shows no signs of slowing its expansion, so here's all the spin-off games released so far.
YouTube’s “NeoGamer” shared a cool video in which they compare Final Fantasy 7 Remake Rebirth and Crisis Core Remastered. It looks pretty interesting, so be sure to check it out.
How well the crisis core still stacks up to the next gen Remake ~ that's the point of the remake
And as Digital Foundry pointed out after playing the demo, the Rebirth has flaws and is not much an upgrade from Integrade and still has texture problems
Remake had the same type of texture flaws (rare ones at that) as this game and I disagree with DF in both cases. Rebirth is easily the best example of RPG graphics in 2024 just like Remake was in 2020.
Rebirth not looking much better than Integrade is perfectly acceptable. Considering it's now open world where the Remake was completely linear. Remake still looks amazing to this day, and Rebirth looks even better.
They did do an amazing job on Reunion though. Never thought I'd see the day we'd get a return of Crisis Core, lol.
Digital foundry always nitpicks ps5 games, but will look the other way when it comes to literally anything nintendo. They could put out a 240p game and DF would still praise it.
it's Crisis Core Reunion on PS5. I don't think anyone is expecting the graphics to be compared, but the design and to compare the same scenes between the two games.
A cleaned up PSP version vs a game built for the PS5 really? I can see the Tomb Raider trilogy remaster vs the PS1 versions. But using this is like night and day.
Of course rebirth looks much better... but I am surprised how good crisis core reunion looks too, I have never played that one.
IMO shows how great of a job they did with Crisis Core to bring it up to the Remake's standards/style.
I really enjoyed Crisis core remaster - the only thing l hated was the easy to miss side quests. like legit if you didnt run out and talk to a woman on your first HQ visit you missed on the optional final boss cause no 100%. like cmon. let us replay chapters to get the content.
Which is why lm glad they took that feedback and confirmed that nothings missable or timelocked in rebirth.
A new Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII Reunion Play Arts Kai figure is coming this summer, with pre-orders closing today!
"and without that level of interest the gameplay is exposed as a shallow, repetitive husk. And that is one aspect of the game that has not changed at all in the last 15 years"
has not changed at all in the last 15 years?, so is good then, didn't have a chance to play the original and I always wanted that and with a facelift now ;), seriously this reviewers of today lots of them can't be trust anymore, Callisto Protocol some reviews "the game is too hard" some give a 4 others a 9, this game FF Reunion this one gives it a 4 others give them a 8 a 9, hell look at GOW Ragnarok, some give them 7 others complaining that game is too much?, so giving them content to the gamer is a bad thing now?, so hell with this incompetent reviewers, I will trust my eyeballs and my own criteria :D
It's a polished 15 year old PSP game to allow more people to learn more of the story revolving around Zack and events within the FF7 universe that will help you better understand what happens in the larger more ambitious FF7 remake titles to come, which are writing their own story separating it away from the original, where you really want to learn more about Zack.... maybe even Genesis (secret ending in the original CC might be somewhat relevant in any deviations in the main story now?), who knows! - So with that said, it's a highly rated psp game, its a bit corny and has many dated elements.... with that knowledge, just enjoy it for what it is while waiting for rebirth lol
What were they expecting, a brand new story and mechanics? It’s a remaster. If they were looking for something different they shouldn’t have bothered to review this game.
This score is lame imo . They never said they were changing combat and they knock the score down for not changing it .
Thing is its not suppose to be a standalone game. Author is a jackas
