Indeed this is 5he best remaster exist yet, the visual improvement, the added textures, the gameplay tweaks and and some HUD enhancements are just top notch and should be the standard of how remasters get handled.

Is the limit break with triangle new too?
I could've sworn it was automatic ok jn tbe original

I really had a rough time playing through the OG CC it was just awful imo (as a big FF7 fan, there was just 0 combat initiative just mashing 1 button and the old DMW system was horrible).

Now it's almost hard to believe that I'm actually really enjoying this remaster, it feels like this is what the original vision of the game was but done properly this time around, combat feels intuitive (especially on hard which I'd recommend starting, it makes you have to use your abilities/materia and dodge more etc.) also there's some new mechanics, especially if you get a bit further into the game there's a nice little new mechanic in there that I really appreciate and enhances the combat even further.

Basically, everything that they changed and/or added makes this game way better then the OG CC, the OG at best gets a 6/10 from me and this remaster is easily a 9/10, extremely enjoyable and would recommend it to anyone who loves FF7

good to hear they did a lot of QoL improvements. Hoping for more PSP/Vita remakes of popular titles. Peacewalker deserves a big screen enhancement amongst others. I'll buy this down the road to support Square's decision to update a classic most people don't have access to

Syphos880d ago

Dang I totally agree with the peacewalker statement, would require a certain company to actually give a sh*t about MGS and not F it up though, I don't see Konami handling it even close to how great this CC remaster has been done which is a shame :(

Freedom Wars for PS5 when!?!
One can dream

9 is to high. Like injust said in another article. 9s and 10s should be reserved for special games. Ff7 special game. This spinoff not quite. 6 to 7 for me. It's worth playing but not a must

Syphos880d ago

I can see where your coming from, tbh though, the OG CC suffers from bad dialogue/story, bad gameplay, bad mechanics, bad janky graphics etc. basically all was fixed except for of course some bad story parts, they did add some new dialogue/story here and there to make it come off somewhat better but it's the only thing holding this game back from being really special, the missions are actually fun to do now with the new combat system, the DMW isn't annoying but a nice addition to combat now etc.

So maybe a 9 might be too generous but the old one is about a 6, this one is easily an 8, probably 8.5 (only being held back by the first half of the game story wise, the 2nd part isn't that bad and does actually add onto FF7 lore nicely)

Side-note; I give OG FF7 pretty much a 9.9 (at the time of it's release of course) only a few games in my book score really high and unfortunately some of them have issues like Bloodborne's framerate or MGS having some bad dialogue parts but they are pretty much near-perfect games so I rate them really high.

it's a very good remake... but not worth 50$
Buy on any sale

This is a really solid month.

Pathfinder: WoTR is one of my favorite games it's got a D&D base with some of the best character creation of any game. And the multiple Mythic Paths offer meaningful changes to the way the game plays out and enhance character creation it's very cool.

I recommend the tactical mode for combat.

RpgSama307d ago

Nice, had Crisis Core in my wishlist (was waiting for a great sale since I have a huge backlog), this saves me that.

Cacabunga306d ago

Some very cool games..
i only have Crisis Core it is a nice game but not memorable.. if you go for platinum remember to follow a guide cause everything is missable and the side missions are only unlocked by doing some stupid tasks.

Jeanne d'Arc w updated visual fidelity and trophies is pretty huge for me! It was one of my favorite PSP games, and an extremely good tactical jrpg w great story. I really look forward to Crisis Core also, since I played that back on the PSP as well.

RpgSama307d ago

Jeanne D'Arc!!!!

Liking the monthly PSVR2 adds in general, although I already played this one on the OG PSVR. Luckily still catching up with the days of play freebies

Am I the only one excited for Summoner? That game was rad.

MrBaskerville307d ago

Was thinking about the game recently, been wanting to retry it, so I'm pretty excited. Though I remember liking the sequel more.

Also very interested in Jeanne D'arc.

Puty307d ago

Oh, I didn't know they rerelased Crisis Core. How is it compatible with this new canon we have going on right now? Is it at all?

VersusDMC307d ago

Goggle search says no changes. Makes sense as the remakes aren't on switch and Xbox while the CC remaster is on there. Still just a prequel to OG7.
