Neonridr348d ago

love the art style for this one.

Terry_B348d ago

The only interesting game from that Nintendo Direct stream. Going to get it.

FinalFantasyFanatic347d ago

Nintendo almost bodied Sony and Xbox if we're looking at recent game showcases, good stuff.

lucian229348d ago

how disappointing; i adored this game, played the remaster on psp, but seeing this as a "remake" is criminal lol. they could have at least made the sprites look high quality like Odin Sphere/Dragon's Crown

VersusDMC348d ago

Everyone praises the other 2DHD games so why would they bother. I agree that character sprites could be better but i still find it's a big upgrade over the octopath and live a live style.

Neonridr348d ago

it's a pretty unique art style in my opinion.

lucian229348d ago

not unique if you come from that era of snes games lol

Neonridr348d ago

I come from an era where you had to use your imagination to see a circle on screen.

It's a 2D/3D game, like Octopath Traveler, but on steroids given it has a more 3rd person perspective instead of a side scrolling style.

FinalFantasyFanatic347d ago

It looks fantastic to me, glad it wasn't a 3D remake, I feel like this is meeting halfway between the two.

lucian229346d ago

i didnt want 3d either, just better sprites

MrNinosan348d ago

Might put in the tags for the rest of the consoles aswell.
It's being released on PS4/PS5/Xbox along with Switch.

DarkZane348d ago

Actually, it's not releasing on Xbox.

MrNinosan348d ago (Edited 348d ago )

True, my bad. Was going to write PC, but screwed up 😅

shinoff2183348d ago

Hope they are releasing for ps to since its the only one with can't play on current consoles. I ran through all of them last year 1 through 6. Fantastic series

MrNinosan348d ago

It's coming to PS4/PS5 aswell according to SquareEnix.

STAR OCEAN THE SECOND STORY R review - ChristCenteredGamer

CCG writes - "On a technical level, Star Ocean 2 R takes all that was good about the original game and polishes it to a mirror sheen. Coupled with an immense amount of quality of life and rebalancing decisions to make this classic game accessible to both old-time and modern gamers, I cannot recommend it highly enough."

Cacabunga82d ago

This game IS brilliant! A perfect switch game on the go

shinoff218381d ago (Edited 81d ago )

I felt it was just as perfect on my 55 from my ps5

Relientk7782d ago

The game is amazing and just a fantastic remake. It deserves all the praise.

LiViNgLeGaCY82d ago

Because it's incredible, that's why.

Eonjay82d ago (Edited 82d ago )

Beat it. Great game. I have to replay it though so I can fight Gabriel without the limiter. I missed the damn cutscene the first time. I'm also in love with the OST at the bottom of the Maze of Tribulations.

shinoff218381d ago

Same but I was going through it again, cause I was playing both campaigns anyway. Could not do the cooking mini game for shit. My girl smashed it in about 5 tries. Got me that platinum lol I wont lie.

MrBaskerville82d ago

Forgot I had this game, should get back to it soon, was enjoying it a lot!
