Err, there has been zero confirmation of a FF7 remake or re-release, I don't know what your friends are telling you. Wouldn't surprise me in the least if it ended up happening though.

Ra · 03-03-2007, 06:53 PM

I have heard nothing either. But then again, half of my friends are rabid FF freaks... trying to convert me... and as much as I hate to admit it, kinda sucsseding... o_o; Shmeh, it's going to happen anyway. Probably the most popular Final Fantasy out there and it will be demanded to be given the "treatment it deserves".

In other news...I just got my monthly newsletter from my idols at Insomniac Games! They sent it four days ago, so I have no idea if anyone knows about this or not, but anyway...

*runs around in circles like the happy fan girl she is*

I'm definitely looking forward to this! "Tools of Destruction" sounds like another good title. I hope they are going to keep the Player vs. Player option in this. But the "Future" part has me a bit...I don't know...confused? Worried? Maybe I'm too much in "TMNT - Fast Forward" mode here, but I can't help but think "...oh dear...". We'll just have to wait until the teasers, I guess...

Also, there is the ordeal of will it be set after "Ratchet: Deadlocked" or "Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters"? I hope it will be after "Deadlocked", since it seems a bit more fitting than "Size Matters" IMO. I don't know why, but it just seems that way to me.

~~LogicDonny~~ · 03-03-2007, 10:09 PM

I still am playing through Size Matters and to those who haven't picked it up, do so. It's really impressive..

Also, i am very excited for the new TMNT movie game coming out this month. I downloaded the pc version impressed, I want to see how well it plays on the psp.

*Brodie* · 03-03-2007, 11:45 PM

I think I could sum that up in one word: Worse.

See also: BAD.

~~LogicDonny~~ · 03-03-2007, 11:49 PM

Brodie, who are you referring to what post?

...So, apparently, you didn't read a single word I posted earlier in this thread. Let's see if a one month temp ban from this section will get you to pay a little more attention when you are asked to stop breaking the rules.

Once again, let's please get back on topic.

So apparently with God of War 2, there's a little "teaser" ad in the case. It shows the God of War logo, with the PSP logo inside of it. F*ck. Ing. Awesome. Oh, how I have waited for the announcement of a PSP game worth playing! Praise Kratos!

**ThirdMarioBro** · 03-05-2007, 10:58 PM

Let's hope it is an actual sequel build for the machine from the ground up, and not a gimped version of the original with poor controls.

**Barkworm** · 03-06-2007, 01:39 AM

An important part of what makes God of War so awesome is how incredibly epic it is. I honestly don't see how they could transfer this to a handheld screen.

bmxbandit · 03-06-2007, 07:26 PM

so Motorstorm came out today and although it is a graphics powerhouse the lack of gameplay seems very disappointing. also no split screen multiplayer!

i have been awaiting the arrival of this game for awhile but now i'm almost reconsidering. (at least until the price falls)

**ThirdMarioBro** · 03-06-2007, 07:57 PM

I've noticed split-screen is becoming a dying breed simply because console manufacturers want to push their online services instead. It's a shame because no matter how far we go, there will still be people who can't get online, and what about friends at each other's house wanting to play together? They have to go home to play video games? HDTV's allow for easy horizontal splits with plenty of real estate for each player, so what gives?

bmxbandit · 03-07-2007, 03:09 AM

yeah i definitely agree it is one of the stupidest things to cut. i loved the days of 4 player mario kart and such. the wii realizes the importance of multiplayer now why sony and microsoft don't i dunno'. i think online play is a good bonus but don't forget those of us that like to play games with our friends in the same room.

Peanut · 03-07-2007, 08:12 AM

You guys are forgetting the fact that with split-screen, the hardware is having to render out up to 4 different versions of the game. When you look at something like Motorstorm, that just seems like an impossibility, unless you're willing to remove CPU controlled opponents and a ton of effects. They managed to lock down Gears with co-op split-screen, but you could notice a degrade in graphical quality.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 03-07-2007, 01:19 PM

All I have to say is this: FU*KING WOW!

PlayStation Home is a good example of taking a good idea, and improving the hell out of it. It may be a goddamn Mii ripoff, but seriously, Wow.

http://ps3.advancedmn.com/article.php?artid=4116

They even incorporated the whole "Arcade 2.0" aspect I wrote about last year to the letter. I'm fu*king impressed.

愛 · 03-07-2007, 02:15 PM

It's like The Sims. Can you bring women back to your home and sex them up? If not, I'm not impressed.

Peanut · 03-07-2007, 02:42 PM

It's like f*cking Second Life. When Kotaku got the info out about Playstation Home last week, I thought it might be cool, but now it looks completely f*cking retarded, "Decorate your own personal space with items downloaded off of the PS Store!" what a complete waste of time and money. I felt a little fruity after watching the video presentation for it.

*Cure* · 03-07-2007, 03:58 PM

I dunno, I kinda liked it. Kinda like a mix of Xbox Live and Mii's. Sure, like TMB said, it's a ripoff, but it could be cool.

Peanut · 03-07-2007, 04:03 PM

My stance is I just really couldn't care less about it. An MMO without quests...wow. Video game consoles are for playing games, if this is the "huge, stance changing announcement" that Sony had up their sleeve...fail. Complete and utter fail. What kind of real gamer is going to want to stand around and dance with avatars, when they could be playing games?

I'm just going to come right out and say, anyone who spends time with this needs to get laid. Badly.

Well, considering I haven't gotten any since summer of '06............

bmxbandit · 03-11-2007, 01:30 AM

i think the home idea is an interesting idea but i won't be able to justify spending good money on something so silly. i'll save my money for real games.
