i encourage everyone to go to Max doods twitch.

he played the demo or a portion of the game and showed it off on his twitch channel

MrNinosan252d ago

Everyone and their mother did, but yeah, Dood is one of the best when it comes to covering Final Fantasy VII content.
Also his spoilercast with Easy Allies from 3 years ago is amazing.

gold_drake252d ago (Edited 252d ago )

i cam assure you, not everyone does ha.
and no, the easy allies wasnt good

the dropped frames was miles better.

shinoff2183253d ago

Can't wait for this. Just a shame about saves not carrying over.

Workshyskiver253d ago

What! So my grind to LVL 50 with max materia was for nothing :(

CrimsonWing69253d ago

I think if you look at these as sequels it makes more sense. I think the balancing between each game would be too difficult to incorporate keeping new players in mind and transferring over progress from level 50 players.

Like 13 trilogy nothing transferred over or like 10-2.

shinoff2183252d ago

Workshyskiver, that's exactly my thoughts I put in some work on that front

Workshyskiver253d ago

Looking forward to it. I just hope they let us play the game a bit more rather than interrupting us every few minutes to look at something like a door opening etc.

Knightofelemia252d ago

So waste cash on the remake to find out you can't swap the save over what a waste.

MrNinosan252d ago

Other than .Hack, I can't think of other games where you can transfer your save data to the sequel.

I'm happy each game is their own, and as SquareEnix stated, they want every game in the trilogy to be enjoyable by anyone, wether they jump in on Remake, Rebirth or the third game.

Knightofelemia252d ago

Trails of Cold Steel you can And the newer Trails games that came out you can carry over your save even ME you can carry over your save.

shinoff2183252d ago

Would it of been that difficult for them to allow save transfers and people fresh starts. I feel numerous games have done it. Didn't mass effect, knightoffelemia mentioned trails games, I know there's been a few others.

I'm still really really looking forward to rebirth, so it's not a deal breaker just would've been nice. They still have time maybe ? Hopefully they have a change of heart on the saves

Snookies12252d ago (Edited 252d ago )

I seriously don't get this... How is it people were expecting sava data to carry over? It was pretty obvious that wouldn't be a thing. Considering they were calling each part it's own game. In fact, if I'm not mistaken they mentioned it wouldn't happen a long time ago.

You would be way too overpowered going into Rebirth. Not to mention, by the time we got to part 3 our characters would be like level 150 or something. That's a bit overboard. Remake was a fantastic game. Not sure how you can call Remake a "waste" just because of a feature that you "thought" might happen in the future.

shinoff2183252d ago

By the time I got toward the end of disc 2 og ff7 I was level 99. And?

No it wasn't that obvious at all.

Snookies12252d ago (Edited 252d ago )

@shinoff2183 - That doesn't mean that's how the game is MEANT to be played. Of course you can power level in an RPG... You're ignoring the main point of my comment. That the developers have always stated each installment is "it's own game". That's why it's obvious it wouldn't carry over. I was simply making a small point about the leveling being a bit ridiculous as an added note.

CrimsonWing69252d ago

How is playing the first part of the story a waste of cash? 🤷‍♂️

shinoff2183252d ago (Edited 252d ago )

Crimson,

Right, it's kind of only the setup and all for the game. Naw just skip your good. Wtf who would skip it

Days Gone Director Says Bend's Project Costs Over $250M; Says PS Co-CEO Doesn't Want 2 Zombies Games

Days Gone director claims Sony has already poured in at least a $250M in Bend's project; says Days Gone sold more than Death Stranding.

shinoff218319h ago

Well that sucks. Seems they want more online trash. I'd rather of had the sequel if it was single player

MrNinosan4h ago

What online trash games did PS Studios release last 10 years?

Notellin2h ago

The past has nothing to do with the future. This is such a terrible argument. Everyone knows about their current live service push.

_SilverHawk_1h ago

It's so tragic what happened to days gone. It is such an amazing game but bandwagoners trashed it and it underperformed in it's launch year. Days gone is the best open world zombie game released in the past five years. I was recently playing it on pc and I'm still amazed by it.

Games are very expensive to make and it seems like it's normal for a AAA game to cost over a quarter billion to make so if a quality game like days gone greatly underperforms then people shouldn't be upset when they see a lot of GAAS. I still remember a lot of bandwagoners calling days gone trash but years later it's now amazing when it's considered a failure by sony.

If a game isn't the best thing seen since hats with pockets then a lot of gamers who haven't played it automatically calls it rubbish and whoever made it should be incarcerated

Cacabunga12m ago(Edited 11m ago)

Co CEO prefers gamers to boycott.. so be it. I’ll never buy a gaas.
Just imagine buying a game you cannot replay in some years.. this shit must stop.

Days Gone did zombies in a very original way. The story was also so engaging. You actually only meet Zombie hordes later in the game. There are many more enemy groups to deal with.

-Foxtrot19h ago

It would be a shame if it was true that Hermen never gave the franchise a chance simply because he didn't like it and they already had a "Zombie" game with TLOU.

NaughtyDog are most likely moving onto a new IP next so it would have been the perfect time to do it.

ThinkThink11h ago

Here's where xbox steps in and releases state of decay 3 day and date on ps5.

Grilla4h ago

Days gone 2 was canceled before Herman was in charge. That happened like 4 years ago.

vfl5233h ago

4 years ago he was head of Playstation Studios. He would've probably had a hand in the cancelation.

Notellin2h ago

Man two seconds of research could have saved you from this comment. Amazing work Grilla you fit in with the uniformed N4G community who speaks before verifying anything that they say.

Redemption-641h ago

Maybe encourage people to buy the game at full price and not when it's heavily discounted or go on plus. If this game had sold well when it was full priced a sequel would have been in the works. They made a single-player game that most people didn't support until they dropped the price.

excaliburps5h ago

Yep. Kind of weird since it wasn't a sales flop, no?

I know we have to take what Ross says with a grain of salt since we're hearing just one side of the story, but even so, the game wasn't bad at all. Heck, it's my brother's favorite last-gen game from what I recall.

The amount of zombies on screen, imagine that with the PS5 and SSD? That would be insanely fun!

Grilla4h ago

Most copies were sold on sale. Not enough ppl bought it at full price. I paid 20$ for it 6 -7 months after release.

Notellin2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Yeah we should never believe the creators side until we hear the corporate/big business side as history has shown we should always believe billion dollar corporations.

What a bootlicker statement.

P_Bomb4h ago

Well I don’t want 10 live service games, but they have no problem doing that lol. Ugh.

CrimsonWing694h ago(Edited 4h ago)

Oh great so we only get what the big wigs want… y’know, the people that really have their fingers on the pulse of what their consumers want. Faaaaantastic!

rippermcrip1h ago

Well consider they know the sales... they do know what the consumer wants.

It sold shit.
