Kotaku: For years now, gamers have been saying that the PSP's Achilles' heel was the single circle pad. Sony is on the verge of releasing the PS Vita, which sports dual thumbsticks. And gamers are still bitching.
A Japanese gamer checked out the Vita at an in-store promotion noting that there is a severe space dearth between the buttons and the right thumbstick—ditto, for the left.
While gamers usually take notice of the mainline missions, these 5 side quests deserve more widespread attention for how entertaining they are.
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?
Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.
Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...
... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.
Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣
Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.
Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.
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.
It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.
I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.
Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.
Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.
Uncover secrets, defeat challenging bosses, and upgrade your arsenal in these exciting Metroidvania titles on the PlayStation Vita.
It's a fucking handheld.
People will complain about anything and everything.
I could tell this would become a problem when i first saw pics of it being held...looked very unnatural the way the thumb was bent.
Then Greg Miller from IGN confirmed my suspicions when he wrote an article about the Vita being hard to hold.
Now this furthers the claim..
Put them too far away & your vilified, put them too close together & your vilified....Sony will always find it hard to win, unless they virtually go broke & then become the longshot underdog. Trebd whores following the Sony hating trend since PS1 & 2's total domination, & a couple of misteps from Sony with the PS3.
Get over it, Sony know what the are doing....The PSP is the best handheld in history by a longshot, & the Vita looks to dethrone PSP of that crown & become the best handheld available on the market.
If I didn't find problems with the PSP's circle pad, I'm sure I'll be fine with the Vita's ACTUAL thumbsticks. People will end up modding them anyway.
