Final Fantasy XVI is a welcome departure but Square Enix has plenty of great turn-based titles to use as inspiration for the next game in the series.
Tomb Raider 12 developer has brought in an "external partner" as mysterious AAA game gets delayed to FY 2026/27 by Embracer.
The FTC has officially dropped its case against Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard.
I think they're convinced now that MS won't (and can't) withhold releases from conpeting platforms. MS on the street corner now like, "Who wants a taste?!"
I've seen videos and talk a online speculating MS long game. Some think that MS multiplat move is use to appease the FTC so they can buy more and is somehow a move that could get Sony to open up their platform. In other words them going third party and letting their games go everywhere. MS possible scheme and ulterior motives, speculated by Jeff Grubb is that putting Xbox store on PS via regulation Which would hurt PS buissness very badly because that 30% cut would be even less or not a cut at all. MS buys more because they're "playing nice" by opening up its platform to Epic store and steam which would force Apple and Sony to open up their ecosystem to other stores like MS.
If that's the case that'll mean as I said before, PS fans buying Cod on PS via MS store would give 100% maybe even 90% of the money being pocketed by MS while Sony's store front wanes when it comes to third party because guess what? MS is buying more third party and preying off the extreme ignorance of the FTC. Manipulation of the FTC and MS overtaking the PS store and customers
My thing is this. I know it's a opinion and speculation but why does Sony have to open up its store or force them to go multiplat? If they still believe in selling their freakin console then let them do it. If they want to provide the best games and the best content for its fans then let them do it!? Why because the competition is trash at selling games and consoles for 14 years now Sony has to change? MS using the ignorance of the FTC to overtake gaming as we know it?
Again it's just talk and opinion but man this seems very, very possible imo.
Seemed like a lost cause anyway. Microsoft gambled and it paid off big time. That's what you call a big boss move. Sony played a huge part in the success of that acquisition.
Clash of Clans and Clash Royale are getting the Arcane treatment thanks to an exciting new partnership between Netflix and Supercell.
Those few titles can benefit from being turn based.
The next FF title will improve upon real time combat.
No way they go back to turn based unless FF16 bombs either critically or commercially which I don't see happening. They haven't had a turn based game since 10 it's best just to leave Atlus to that since they are pros at it.
Lots of us still prefer and enjoy. We're looking for a little more then just button mashing with an occasional change.
Ff would still sell millions upon millions no matter the combat.
Dq11 was better then any ff since 9 or 10 imo. I get maybe the younger audience just can't focus long enough without losing interest but I feel square should try.
We need parasite eve 3 or remake.
I'm happy either way to be honest.
Ff16 right now is my most wanted game so if that lives up to yoshi ps standard the preview then I'll gladly take more of it.
As an old school final fantasy fan I'd also be stoked for a proper big budget turn based ff however I think those days are long gone.
Bravely default and it's sequel are great though so would love to see a larger budget BD title
