The OG Virtua Fighter was the game that made Sony choose to make a 3D graphics capable console.
That's a big meh for me.
I must be the only one wishing it's not true, lol !
Operation Tango hasn't released yet, as well. Is due to June 1st.
Just saw. Fuck yes man. I'm so happy. New FF title and XVI to be shown at E3. Don't care what else is shown, I'm already satisfied
Sony making deals with Square Enix seems to be how they address the JRPG genre instead of reviving their own obscure I.P. that did not sell.
Y'all don't even know how amped I am right now. FFSouls and FFXVI. What a fucking time.
They did that a couple of years ago, but it looks like the project is dead now though.
YEP! this is already a good show for me.
They should take something from Nintendo's book and have Square fund a new shared I.P between them.
Oh I never knew that, interesting.
Makes sense to me, their studios have no experience in making JRPGs, why not rely on those who have mastered the genre.
FF7R and 14 have really revived my love for the franchise, can't wait for the FFXVI, 7R-2 and Origin combo.
I think only Maneater was released before.
Nov. Bugsnax (launch)
Dec. Worms (launch)
Jan. Maneater
Feb. Destruction Allstars (launch) and Control Ultimate Edition (launch)
Mar. Maquette (Launch)
Apr. Oddworld (launch)
May Wreckfest (launch)
Jun. Operation Tango (launch)
Sony Pictures is also doing that Final Fantasy TV Series too right? Weren't the also doing a movie as well?
Lots of investment happening for this franchise. Square really wants FF to hit the ground running this gen.
Well at least no actual Sony Studio is working on someone's I.P.

Really curious how a FF souls will look like.
People comparing it to Nioh got me thinking, how difficult is that game for someone who only played Bloodborne for a Souls game and thought it was manageable and finished the game.
I am always mixing up Nioh and Sekiro and i keep reading one of them is very difficult but dont know which one.

I don't think Media.Vision would be a particularly good choice. I don't think they'd bring any of their old JRPGs back without it being a large scale Final Fantasy level project, and Media.Vision are not really built for that at all. But then, there isn't really anyone that could handle a high budget JRPG these days. It's why they're going all in on Final Fantasy, Square is pretty much the only high budget JRPG studio left in the game.
You believe that if Sony ever brought back one of their JRPG franchises that they'd only try and bring it back as a AAA?
Hmmm maybe that is true with how XDev is being reworked, especially in Asia. The thing is there isn't a lot of AAA JRPG companies out there that would play ball rather then working on their own I.Ps instead.
I think it's that, but I wonder also if it's about building relationships aimed a promoting a preserving the day one full price release. Sony is clearly all in on that, and it may make for some natural partners. FF is obviously a very premium brand, and traditional platform splits no doubt help Sony's case anyway, but, I wonder if there's a bit of the old-fashioned 'opinionated Square' about this, where they cut deals that have a bit of a subtext about industry trends to them - in this case, perhaps about not conditioning the market too far away from paying separately and (relatively) substantially for premium products. I'd say there's been interesting discussions there between SE and Sony about protecting the premium on brands like FF in light of industry trends elsewhere. I think pubs like SE would love to promote a scenario where it's almost like the deals movie studios can broker, where you monetise the day one release with one partner, the catalog release with another, etc. and get maximum value across the whole product lifecycle. I think it's fairly clear now that Sony is leaning in on one end more than the other here.
It's dead Jim.
The leak talks about Demos with an s.
I wandered what it will be.
That's what makes me think that Sony's show will be before E3.
NEVAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also one day Asobi will be so big they'll make a new Ape Escape.
Kind of wondering the same thing… surely we should see some Sony announcements in a few weeks right?
I feel like there should be a Horizon Forbidden West blowout sometime soon seeing it's supposed to release in less than 6-7 months… also we haven't even seen Ragnarok yet and it's also supposedly coming this year (yeah right…).
If they tried to bring one back under SIE then yeah, it would be AAA. They'd want something with global appeal, and the typical anime style JRPG doesn't have that.
Their core issue is that there just isn't the talent in the industry to make a quality entry in their JRPG portfolio. Some companies seem to be giving it a try, like Cygames with Project Awakening, and Tales of Arise looks like it might be getting there, but none of them have proven output just yet. Might be in a few years Sony decides to dip their toe in the water again if any studios manage to get up to scratch. Wouldn't even be surprised if they hit up FromSoftware, there was a time they were part of the JRPG squad back in day and they've been successful enough in the past few years that I expect their dev team will be becoming more and more AAA in production values than they have been in the past.
Still haven't gotten around to playing any Souls-like games, so idk how excited to be about this FF thing lol. What makes something a "souls-like" aside from the punishing difficulty?
Also, isn't FF already moving more heavily into Action-RPG formula with FF16 anyway? I was under the impression FF16 was already going to be an action-RPG with a single playable character/no party members. It's that incorrect?
Just trying to get an idea of what exactly differentiates the spin-off from mainline in regards to gameplay.

There are a lot of indies exclusives that haven't release dates too.
They should make Astro/Ape Escape mix game. Just have AstroBot trying to catch apes.
Nioh isn't really that soulslike outside of difficulty, it's more accurate to just call them action games. The only games I've played that were actually close enough to souls to get the soulslike moniker were the Deck13 games and a few indies like Ashen.
Souls-Like games follow the same philosify that Dark Souls.
Linear path with multiple shortcurts, safe-checks, high difficulty and a boss at the end of the level. You have a rpg system to level up skills base on the "souls" you gather from killing enemies.
That is what souls like is, but there are also games that are inspired by the souls series that are not souls-like, like Jedi Fallen Order for example.
Is there a contract then extends beyond just FF?
Never knew this. I guess we may see more stuff from them in the future.
That would be nice to see, maybe one day.
Nah a collab game is fine but merging the two and getting rid of the Ape Escape cast moving forward sounds lame. Like Megaman part of Ape Escape is the other cast as well and not just the Apes.
we're never gonna get hades are we?

To be honest, I don't even know if in-house Square Studios ever released a movie that isn't FF related (but I'm not the best person to affirm that). But Spirits Within, Advent Children and Kingsglaive are distributed by Sony Pictures/Aniplex.
Anyway, their relationship goes much further. Sony already helped Square save itself from bankruptcy and Square helped Sony back some years later.
Not all. Hitman film rights were owned by Fox (now Disney). MGM is now holding the rights for Tomb Raider and Warner Bros is distributing the latest film. Dragon Quest Movie was distributed by Toho. I think that Sony Pictures is only involved with Final Fantasy (previous films via Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Home Entertainment and the upcoming TV series).
I only like the apes and Specter lol 🙈 Astro running with a giant net would be cute.
Countering this demonic crap with Ellie x Tifa.we're never gonna get hades are we?

I think that the main reason is budget. A high budget film is very risky. A high budget TV Show has more potential, but i will speculate that Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions are looking for partners, like HBO for The Last of Us. You need a partner to distribute and co-finance such a big project.
Can't wait for Naughty Dog's new game: The Last Fantasy.I only like the apes and Specter lol 🙈 Astro running with a giant net would be cute.

It's a toughie. Either Horizon or TLOU2 probably. Monster Hunter World and the Souls entries are up there, but the best Souls games were all on PS3 anyway.

It's a tie between Bloodborne and TLOU2 for me.
