E3 2015: The Thread

[Resolute 14]

Honestly, I thought those 3D remakes of I-IV were terrible. The original top-down versions with the sprites have aged well enough that they can be left alone.

I tend to agree, but mostly because they were ugly Nintendo DS 3D. A beautiful 2D game is much more appealing than an ugly 3D game.

Now if they were going to go full blown, amazing looking PS4/X1 remake of one of the old 2D games, that would get my interest a lot more.

Mine too, but I just don't see the value in it. If you're committing those resources, just make Final Fantasy XVI in that style.

I think we may need to create a FFVII Remake mega-thread

Shenmue at $3.2 million raised now.

Confession time: I've never played a Final Fantasy game and I had never even heard of Shenmue before this E3.

20th Anniversary controller and headset coming in September for purchase separately!





EDIT: Looks like the controller is "exactly" the same as the one in the limited 20th Anniversary collection. It's missing the logo buttons on the touch pad/button.

That controller makes me happy

Shenmue I can certainly understand, but no Final Fantasy ever? Wow. Do you play RPG's?

Can I recommend that you try this one day?

I've kept the one 20th Anniversary I have sealed, might as well keep it that way.

I wouldn't be surprised if they do some crazy 22nd (or 25th ) Anniversary grey (PS1) edition PS4 bundled with FF7R.

You aren't the only one. Though I have played a couple demos for Final Fantasy. It's just not my type of game.

My name is Russic and I've never even played a FF demo. I watched a friend play one on the PS2 in the summer of 2000 or 2001 once. That is the extent of my FF knowledge.

At this stage, I don't know what I would do for a remake of IX. I miss that game beyond all hell and have once again lost my copy after moving. It will turn up, I'll beat it, put it away and lose it when I move again.

Shenmue is a pretty old game that was never on a Sony platform which is why it should surprise nobody that a lot of people aren't familiar. I've played FF games but unlike others I've not been able to get past the goofiness of JRPG's. I didn't even finish FF7 and actually liked Shenmue 2 better than any FF game.

[cDnStealth]

I've only ever played two Final Fantasy games. Tactics Advance and XI. I suppose I also played a demo of VII. I've always wanted to go through VII but just never did. I'll probably end up getting the re-make whenever it comes to PC.

[SuperMatt18]

I haven't played much of Final Fantasy 7

Remember I rented it once, enjoyed it, but never purchased it. Will likely give it a shot now.

Think that is why Shenmue 3 on PS4 was such a big surprise. The first was a Dreamcast exclusive, the second was Xbox exclusive in North America, and now Sony came in to revive a title that they never had a stake in.

I am so excited for this game to get made.

Time to bust out my Dreamcast and play through this again.

E3 Press Conference Roundup

http://www.somethingawful.com/video-...ss-conference/

Bethesda

Doom was shown. We know it was Doom because the title said Doom, there were demons on Mars, projectiles you could dodge, a chainsaw, and a ten minute sequence where the demo player backtracked to press up against every wall while grunting.

Later it was revealed that Fallout 4 will have a collector's edition (because of course it will) with a ridiculous life sized Pip-Boy that you strap on your ridiculous arm. There's no screen. Instead, it's built to house an iPhone running an app that displays the Pip-Boy user interface. This item is sure to get a lot of use, if you consider "looking at the plastic collector's edition garbage on your shelf and shaking your head in regret" as a use.

[Ashasx]

Wait, is the Pip Boy made to fit an iPhone?

My Xperia won't fit?

They said it fits a number of different phones.
