Wait, the remake wasn't the full game?

ZekeSulastin,

FF7R was full game length but ended when the party left Midgar; in the original game that is a bit before the end of Disc 1.

Granted, the Midgar section was greatly expanded for the remake and it’s pretty clear that we’re not necessarily doing a 1:1 equivalence with the original game…

hydroel,

I think it will released into 3 parts: Remake, Rebirth and the third volume which I don’t think has been titled yet. What makes it even more confusing is that there was an “enhanced” version of FFVII Remake, released on PC and PS5, called Remake Intergrade.

I wish my 90h save wasn't borked. I don't feel like playing through the whole game again right now or any time soon. This has happened twice to me now.

SilverFlame,

It seems like a fresh save is the right choice anyway given the amount of changes they’re making to core systems

Oh man; I just bought this game not even knowing if it would have more DLC. Mercenaries is always welcome.

I wonder how the new cyberware limits and cyberpsychosis system will affect my V if I update. I’m pretty much fully kitted out at max level and street cred and carrying almost all legendary gear where applicable.

Will I just spawn in and immediately get like… over encumbered with cyberware? Will I have to restart the game or respec V with less stuff?

I’m gonna be mad if I have to give up my Kerenzikov/camouflage/gorilla fists/hacking multi-class. There’s nothing quite like invisibly slo mo punching out an entire crippled with contagion gang while their leader crow bar’s them to death because I gave him psychosis.

That does sound like quite the party aha. I’m interested to see how it is handled as well.

I’d probably trade in the melee if I had to, but I really like having the kerenzikov since you cant equip a hacking module and a sandevistan at the same time.

mindbleach, do games w Unity will quietly waive controversial fees if developers switch to its ad monetisation service - report

Advertising shits in your brain.

Let’s get rid of it.

And screw anyone going ‘but then how money?!’ while it infects billion-dollar business models. There’s no amount of money you can pay, where greedy suits won’t imagine taking your money and selling your eyeballs.

sugar_in_your_tea,

There is an ethical advertising system that works well: opt-in catalogues. I love Costco’s monthly ads, IKEA’s catalogue, Amazon’s holiday shopping catalogue, etc. When I need something, I can browse and create a shopping list.

My problem with ads is that it tries to get me to buy stuff when I’m doing something where I don’t want to buy stuff, like watching TV, browsing the Internet, or playing a game.

A game engine isn’t the right place for ads. Leave that to storefronts and other areas where I’m already looking to spend money.

LazerFX,

For those who know in the UK - the Argos catalogue was always my favourite thing to browse as a kid :D

maybe I pick this up now, never bothered much about Cyberpunk after they botched the launch and it still does not impress me very much…well winter is coming so we will see if it can compete with Baldurs Gate or Guild Wars 2 😅

Maybe it makes me a boomer, but I could not get into the remake as much as the original. I hated the real time combat. It made me feel like I could only control one character’s actions well, which made me way more detached from the rest of the characters in my party.

Flyingostrich,

Yo u are not the only one. I realy enjoy final fantasy games and I like real time combat. I do not like final fantasy games with real time combat.

I have not played the new one fuzzy came out recently, but tried the demo. I was not impressed. And I realy wanted to be…

Imo they have been going downhill since 10. They all have their moments and their appeal, but they are not as good anymore.

Whirlybird, (edited ) do games w Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will have "very little downtime" when fast travelling

If you’re fast travelling in Spider man games you’re doing it wrong or the devs did traversal wrong.

Koen967,

Agreed. Webslinging across NY is the best part.

echoplex21, do xbox w Cyberpunk 2077's major 2.0 update arrives next week

Might be my next game after I’m done with Starfield. I’ve been holding off on this for ridiculously long.

clearedtoland,

I really enjoyed it when I played it for the first time in its 1.5(ish) state late last year. I’ve been really looking forward to the expansion and continuing the story. I’m actually somewhat apprehensive about the vehicle combat and police because the game was enjoyable without it - even though I massively missed them at first.

Been playing Starfield and not loving it but enjoying it. Yet I keep coming back to it every free moment I have. Been years since a game’s done that to me.

Ghostalmedia,
@Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world avatar

I’m going to pause Starfield for to play this expansion. Now that Cyberpunk is patched and running well, it’s what I wish Starfield actually was.

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

I think this is probably the moment. I honestly enjoyed the game even at launch but I just laughed through all the jank. The story and world were good enough for me, I’m sure with all the fixes in place it’ll be a much more engaging package.

Apple engineer here, from what I understand most of Unity’s competitors in the we space are significantly better paying and performing. We keep hearing from developers that nobody wants to use Unity’s product because of that. AppLovin, the one named here, outperforms Unity Ads by as much as 800% in some titles, according to a contact of mine at a game studio. With a difference like that it’s hardly surprising nobody is choosing Unity Ads.

This reeks of desperation, but one wonders how effective it could be - because this demand to drop AppLovin is basically cutting off the revenue faucet for these same developers they’re now trying to extort. No Unity fees but no good income either…

Saledovil,

There’s this one guy on youtube(www.youtube.com/), who said about business: [paraphrasing] “Sometimes things go well, and sometimes, you dry to get the change stuck between the couch cushions”. And you’re right, this pretty much does seem like a desperate move if you think about it.

sugar_in_your_tea,

Yeah, I love that analogy. When companies deviate from their core business model to try to increase revenue, it’s a symptom that the company is dying. If they’re having profit issues (which I doubt), a healthy company would innovate to attract customers, not to lock them in.

Kiosade, do games w Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth gets a February 2024 release date on PS5

They need to stop limiting these games to the PS5 and release them on PC as well, and not 2 years late.

Pavidus,

I’m a massive FFVII fan, and that 2 year wait ALMOST lost my interest. I finally picked it up, where it remained the most expensive game I had purchased for a good long while. I was happy with that, because I heard “the other installments will be included!”

Guess I heard them wrong. They lost me. I won’t pay 90 bucks again for another chapter of a 2 year old remake of a 30 year old game.

the_q,

I heard it’ll be a 3 month wait so not too bad.

Kiosade,

Oh good, 3 months is not bad at all, if that’s the case

lustyargonian, (edited ) do games w Star Wars Jedi: Survivor finally delivers the 60fps mode we should have had at launch

I hope other devs chill out with ray tracing, especially with unreal engine. We’ve seen very rare implementations of it on current consoles that actually are desirable (Metro Exodus, Spider-Man/R&C, Doom Eternal) and all are on bespoke engines that don’t upscale from sub 1080p (maybe not Metro Exodus).

The SSR looks so bad in the pond area! If they just remove it it’ll look much better.

Is this whole thing a “Springtime for Hitler” esque plot?

Aqarius,

Springtime for Johnny and Unity, autumn for Godot, Unreal
