That tidy PSP price cut that the US is seeing won't be making the jump across the pond anytime soon. Gamesindustry asked SCEE about it, and got:
"We have no announcements to make about the PSP in the European market at this time."
Shame. Because, really, you should have one. It should be along the lines of "hey, we just dropped the price of the PSP in Europe by 15 quid/20 Euro".
Can't remember the last time Sony were so quiet. Maybe they're all on holiday. Or...maybe they're too busy conjuring up announcements related to something else.
Acquire, famous for games like Tenchu and Octopath Traveler, becomes KADOKAWA subsidiary. Can this mean a revival for beloved series?
I would kill to have a Way of the Samurai game with a huge budget and modern tech... The first game was one of my greatest joys on PS2 back in the day. And I really hope From Software will do something with Tenchu... I hate that they're just sitting on the IP like it doesn't even exist.
Tenchu would be superb in this day and age. Ninja and samurai games are hot right now and more is better.
Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?
Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.
Final Fantasy XVI producer Naoki Yoshida is interested in working on a brand new Final Fantasy Tactics game.
Not from you.
Knowing how you handled FF16 by trying to make it appeal to non-fans and changing the entire gameplay design I can see you changing Tactics to appeal to non-fans.
If they’re going to do this please give it to someone who wants to keep the game and genre in tact.
I wouldn't mind a new FF Tactics longs they keep the tactical elements of Tactics in it as well as a very in depth story. Which FF Tactics years ago has by far one of the best stories in the series.
It would help them a whole lot if they price cut the PSP in nearly each and every country,since they are way behind in sales compared to the less-expensive,game pumping DS.
I guess ..."they have your best interests in mind".
Blind Lemmings, Sony Loves You.
Howard Stinger is British but that doesn't seem to count for Sony...Here in Europe we have been forgotten by Sony many times (including the stripped down, delayed and more expensive arrival of the PS3). I simply love the PSP and I have always congratulated Sony for what they've come up with, but seeing this news makes me feel sick... I am not a fanboy, but I have to agree with one comment on Kotaku:
Europe: Sony we love you!
Sony: F**k you Europe...
