    Playstation PlayStation 5 Discussion Thread

    Sony and Microsoft have both already confirmed 2020 releases (which pretty much only means fall of 2020). Otherwise, yeah, I pretty much agree :)

    Final Fantasy VIII Remastered - Let's Talk About It!

    Welcome! So here's the thing. They did use a copy of the original game to remaster it here. But you can't just dismantle a retail copy and do whatever you want with it. You kind of... umm... Oh! You kind of have to think of it like all of the parts of the game are super glued together. Some...

    Ahh, yeah. Okay. Understood :)

    Final Fantasy VIII Remastered - Let's Talk About It!

    Well, if that's truly the case, then I apologize. Though that leaves a ton of questions about your preferences on preservation as a whole, which I'm interested in if you don't mind. Like I mentioned earlier for example, each Genesis/MegaDrive model had different sound reproduction. In a...

    Final Fantasy VIII Remastered - Let's Talk About It!

    I'm gonna sum up all the Nintendo VS emulation stuff really swiftly. Yes, Nintendo can do a lot of foul things without legal precedent. Nobody here is pretending that EmuParadise wasn't scared into taking down their downloads. I said that very thing in fact. But you are still choosing to...

    Final Fantasy VIII Remastered - Let's Talk About It!

    Okay, firstly, it doesn't actually matter how Nintendo sees it. Legally, it is fully within our rights to make or own personal copies of the games we bought. It is within the licensing agreement. Nintendo won against LoveRoms because LoveRoms was making a profit from hosting the roms, not...

    Final Fantasy VIII Remastered - Let's Talk About It!

    You see those seams because that's where the texture repeats. They're harder to see when there's no smoothing filter, because the pixels are so big. But they're technically still there. As for the camera tearing, are you playing on PC? Because I'm pretty sure they're using triple-buffer V-Sync...

    Final Fantasy VIII Remastered - Let's Talk About It!

    I've put in about 4 hours on PS4, and honestly, it's fine. The thing to keep in mind is that Square doesn't have the original master of the game for PC or consoles. So it seems as if they took the PC version and extracted all of the assets to more or less rebuild the game from there, similar to...

    FFVII Remake 'developed so that it is going to be playable' on PS4 and PS5

    In all likelihood, yes they will all be $60, since they're confirmed to be full sized games. They might allow crossbuy between the generations of consoles, or they might just have a PS5 update for the PS4 version since the next gen consoles seem to be focusing on providing super comprehensive...

    Final Fantasy VIII Remastered - Let's Talk About It!

    No. It was already confirmed that this isn't the case. They also aren't adding any new content, it won't be $60 like a lot of people assumed, and there is no physical version with an FFVIIR Demo included. In short, it's FFVIII with some of the key character models redone in a more modern style...

    FFVII Remake: Should Vincent and Yuffie remain as optional characters?

    They were meant to be part of the story; that's the thing. They were originally meant to not be optional, but time constraints led to the team removing their importance from the main story and making them optional so that they could still be included in some way. It was early on, but I remember...

    Final Fantasy VIII Remastered - Let's Talk About It!

    If it's there (and I don't see it actually being there) rest assured that they're definitely making it optional.

    Final Fantasy VIII Remastered - Let's Talk About It!

    Since some people were wondering about it, it has been confirmed that the PocketStation stuff won't be included. Instead they're including an alternative way to access the related spoils through Angelo Search. Also, it will include some, but likely not all of the Steam boosts, namely the speed...

    Thought this was a really interesting look at her new design, as well as some of the debate around it:
