It is an option, and uses the same drive that is available for the PS5 Slim - the one you have.

FFX has been out on PC for 11 year…

That’s the annoying thing about the Pro version. It’s a numbered limited supply. Scalpers will definitely be all over these.

Is it much of a surprise when it comes to MiHoYo? Their entire model is based around this kind of thing.

I have a friend that refuses to play FFXIV again because how addicted they felt towards it. That came off the back of a WoW addiction that led them to mix up their priorities between food, alcohol and playing the game. The whole addition to both of those was a way for dealing with other mental health issue, yet only made matters worse with how those games work.

I also had my own issues with game addiction when I was dealing with grief over a death. Fortunately it didn’t impact my physical health but it did impact other areas. I certainly wasn’t looking after myself and my surroundings as best as I could back then, and neglected a lot in my life.

My friend found a way of dealing with game addiction by removing them entirely, I found ways to prioritise other areas of my life and continue with that while keeping gaming strictly as a hobby.

Often I think people become addicted to games like any other substance due to dealing with external factors in life that they’re not getting help for. It takes a lot to realise there’s a problem, it takes even more to deal with the root causes. Some people also have low thresholds for addiction and which exacerbates it.

Remember that time when Peter Molyneux said he wasn’t going to speak to the press or about games anymore?

“I understand that people are sick of hearing my voice and hearing my promises. So I’m going to stop doing press and I’m going to stop talking about games completely.”

I don’t know what support for the DualSense is like on PC but the game seems to rely on gyro and haptic triggers for some features. I’ve only played the first few levels but I image the rest of them being this way too. For the controls alone I’d say it makes it less likely to be on PC (but they managed it with Returnal so who knows).

Me and my kid played it for a little while earlier and it’s so good in it’s simplicity. I can’t wait to go back and play more. But it also me instantly wonder why Sony haven’t got Asobi to do a new Ape Escape.

There’s no doubt about this. My favourites in the franchise usually differ from other people and fans that I know. It really does make it a pleasure being a fan of Final Fantasy as it holds such a diverse fandom that conversations often hold interesting takes, views and more.

I’d recognise Limsa Lominsa anywhere. I’ve been playing since 1.0, with some breaks here and there. FFXIV is one of my favourite games ever, for story and gameplay.

I hope you enjoy it and have a great experience. Feel free to join us at !finalfantasyxiv as well.

I still have my 1.0 disc, given how useful it is now, it horrifies my friends when they find out I’m using it as a coaster. I stopped playing before I could get the rewards too, so seeing people with the tattoos always makes me sigh.

I remember this well from my childhood, so it was nice to see that trailer. I love how they seem to have barely changed anything except higher res textures and models. I’ll be looking at getting this when its out.

at the very least remakes should include a copy of the original game playable on the same device, either as a port or via emulation.

I’d love to see developers and publishers start to do this. Though I am interested in Tomb Raider and how they handle the graphic toggling, which seems like a half-way point to what you’re describing.

I don’t either but this is such a great discussion. I’ve come across quite a few interesting sounding games here. Thanks OP.

Ridge Racer - Namco have really done it dirty and would love to see it revived. Take it back to basics as a pure arcade racer without the Burnout nonsense.

Timesplitters - Just pleeeeaaase.

Alundra - It was a JRPG on PSX and nothing ever came after the second game. It had loads of potential.

SSX - I still love the stupidity of those early games. Would love to see a fun another snowboarding game that doesn’t take it self seriously.

I can across this a while back that might scratch some of the SSX itch for me - its an indy game that takes heavy inspiration from SSX. There’s a basic demo, it plays quite well on Steam Deck. Though I wasn’t a fan of the controls, so hoping the dev changes them or allows them to be changed.

There is a !horizon community but unfortunately there just isn’t the interest to build an active community here (on Lemmy) for specific games at the moment. !games seems to be a good place for it at the moment but feel free to cross-post.

I’d disagree. I think the changes they’ve made with Eddie look great. He looks sickly and tired, unhinged and empty as a result of the bullying, lifestyles he’s led and the personal hell he’s experiencing.

There’s going to be negative comments, and that can’t be changed. But I do agree that they’re often through rose tinted glasses.

I don’t believe you’re wrong here in saying that. These don’t seem like unreasonable asks at all, and something I’d expect to be normal standards for the industry.

Not exactly. PlayStation version uses the same payment methods as the PC version. So though you can’t pay through PS Store you don’t have all this extra layer of Coin crap to deal with that Xbox has apparently enforced on them.

It’s was the lack of backwards compatibility that killed it for me. I’d had niggling considerations of PSVR1 for some time, then PSVR2 was announced and I was all ready to hand over my money. Until it became clear there was no backward compatibility. So I own neither.

It’s a fan favourite, often by a large margin. It makes sense in every way to not only finance something that will sell, but will also bring more content to the fans and life to the game. If fans didn’t want it, they would reject it, and they’re not doing that.

As interesting as it is, thats actually a common misconception. It wasn’t due to facing bankruptcy and years later Sakaguchi gave a different account from his supposed last effort at making a game.

This Famitsu article details it as such because they hoped it would be abbreviated as FF because it sounded good in Japanese. Their initial name was Fighting Fantasy but that had potential trademark issues, so they settled on Final Fantasy. Apparently they also didn’t care so much about what it was and any words that abbreviated to FF would work.

I like the more recent story as it gives some certainty to the series from the beginning, but I suspect it was a mixture of both Sakaguchis possible last hurrah and wanting a “cool” name.

Interesting, I wondered why I’ve had messages from automod about removing old posts of mine, and why I’ve seen some recent ones I’ve contributed to suddenly disappearing.

Was this the new team or the previous mod who has done this?

Anyway, good luck and have fun with running the community. Hope to see more from you folks.

No problem, it’s not your fault the previous mod did this. Thanks for the clarification and quick reply.

You’re right, it’s not functionally different in a lot of cases, however many people who want physical media are aware of the limitations. The difference is that physical media is much more perceptible as true ownership than digital as it is much more tangible than digital to touch. Some people just want that tactile experience. For others it might be a convenience thing due to internet. And for some it might be a collectors experience; completing a collection or having unique/rare items.

It all allows for how people choose to own their purchase, and how they experience it.

The majority of all physical disk are really just download licenses. They don’t actually amount to anything more than a game key you buy on a card.

I’m sure most people aren’t oblivious to that fact, but doesn’t detract from the fact that people still want to own physical media and feel ownership over that.

Unless disk technology has changed significantly since blue-ray (I don’t keep up with it), even the largest disk only hold about 25gb of data.

25GB is for a single layer blu-ray. Blu-ray discs can have 4 layers, so we’re looking at 100gb. I don’t know about XBox but I suspect they’re the same in that they’re able to read quad-layer blu-ray discs. Even the PS4 was capable of dual-later, 50gb blu-rays. PS5 can take and utilise that space even more with Kraken compression to get even more on a disc.

Games would cost even more than ever if they had to fit the entire games worth of data in the box.

They already do, this is why games like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth are coming on 2-discs. I’m not sure what your understanding is of game storage is.

We’re in a golden age of indie video game development and its entirely driven by digital downloads.

Nothing will get around that, and people will continue embrace indie titles where they can, physical medium or not.

So instead of worrying about physical releases, what we should be focusing on is DRM-free media. You can get DRM-free games on GOG.com, for example. It’s always better to buy your game there instead of on Steam for this reason. DRM-free is essentially the ownership you’re looking for.

There is no reason we can’t focus on both. No amount of digital, DRM-free media is going give that same sense of ownership for people who want physical media. This is the same as why, even though DRM-free alternatives are available, physical media in the audio space took off again after such a lull during the mp3 and streaming boom. But on the same note, just like the audio space, some other people will always want the convenience of digital.

Ubisoft Exec Says Gamers Need to Get ‘Comfortable’ Not Owning Their Games for Subscriptions to Take Off

I’m already comfortable not owning any Ubisoft games.

Seriously, I will be quite happy missing a game or franchise if there’s a lack of physical media in their lineup of releases. I know it doesn’t make sense for every game, but if it’s to push me towards a subscription service, then I’m just not going to be a customer.

Honestly, I picked up on that and wasn’t offended by what they said. Shame that others didn’t and they’re being downvoted for what was supposed to be a joke.
