But it got worse once Sony announced that those with UMD titles would no longer be able to trade them in for free downloads of the library they'd already spent considerable amounts of money acquiring. To tell the world you'll be supporting loyal customers with backwards compatibility, only to let them down, with one console is extremely bad business practise. To do it with a second is bordering on financial suicide.
People buying the PS3 Slim seem pleased with their purchases, but there's always going to be the constant complaint that, yes, for all the new features and slimmed-down loveliness of the thing, it's a low blow not to include the PS2 compatibility the first version was blessed with. Now the PSP Go faces the same problem, with Sony customers everywhere confused as to why they can't upgrade to the new hardware without re-purchasing all the software."
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.
A title with the words "sony" and "doomed" in it.
"the loss of a mini-USB port" Sonys biggest mistake yet!!!
Is it "Sony is doomed" season again?
EDIT - This is ridiculous. No one is being forced to upgrade to the PSPgo. People with a UMD collection most probably already own a regular PSP (why would they have UMDs and no PSP?) and support will be the same for both versions of the system. This is a non-issue.
Where was it written in stone that people who own UMD-PSP's must go purchase the GO and re-buy all of their games??? Why is everyone on the INTERNETZZZ acting like Sony is forcing people who already own PSPs to buy this godforsaken thing???? Do these people walk into a best buy and see this on the shelf and start Hulking up in anger at its mere existence? Christ, so aggravating.
LMAO! PSPGo is a flop!
