Hi everyone! We were originally going to cover a rumor regarding a MediEvil 2 Remake but decided to cut it last minute considering some evidence came out a few hours ago casting doubt on the original source. So we won’t be covering that on the show, but if there’s any actual developments on it later, we’ll cover those. Anyway, happy Friday and enjoy your weekend. (:

seeing games underperform in terms of sales is very normal, games are at least $70-80 nowadays, people are willing to wait for sales or buy games used because it's just crazy expensive. so we're going to see even more price hikes so the CEOs can still have their yearly bonus and 3rd yacht even while selling less units

People had be worrying that since Rebirth underperformed, Part 3 quality will downgrade. I don't think so. Sony is backing the whole Remakes project. And just like Remake being ported to PS5, Rebirth will do the same. Basically there is no way Sony not gonna use Part 3 as their PS6 console seller. You already made part 3 for PS5. By spending little effort you can have launch title for PS6. It's a no brainer to make part 3 the best you can. You will then bundle them later and sell them again.

For PS6, consoles at their launch year usually dont have a lot of new games and thats where FF7R trilogy bundle comes in with a PS6 port, i say its still a good launch game for PS6

7:20 Love too see Ratchet & Clank in the news even if it ain't a big deal!

I think the games are 'underperforming' because they're so damn expensive now. I refuse to pay $140nzd for a new game when the old price for new ps4 games was around $80-$110nzd. Even back then, I'd wait til a game dropped to like $60nzd to consider it. I only JUST picked up ff16 after wanting it for so long because it was on sale for $60nzd. Still waiting for god of war ragnarok to come down in price 😭 but hey, its also not a big deal to me because backlog exists as well as many other games around my price point... but I could imagine that would be one explanation to all these AAA games underperforming. People are spoilt for choice and don't want to pay full price for a lot of games when they can just wait for a price drop.

Collectors, dont expect your PS3/PS4 and PS6 physical games to be worth anything when all games need day one patches and updates which your consoles will be unable to still download by the time it's retro and servers are taken down, all you will have is a unfinished half baked unpatched broken game that wont be worth jack.

PlayStation Plus should make deals with 3rd party companies to bring more retro games to their subscription. Retro games are very popular right now and If Sony makes a deal with say Square Enix they can have games like the classic Final Fantasy games ready to play in their service every Final Fantasy game available would be amazing. Although I love Final Fantasy 7 on PS1 the Remake looks wonderful I played the first part but I enjoy the classic. Hopefully Square Enix makes Final Fantasy 7 and other Final Fantasy stuff movies and anime would be wonderful. I find it so great and generous that you are giving everyone crabs.

If you're making a direct comparison between the remake series and the ps1 game it's easiest to think of it like this: Final Fantasy 7 ps1 (3 disks) - still worth checking out as there are slight story tweaks and references in the new games and you can usually pick it up for 10$ or less during various sales. Final Fantasy 7 Remake - expands the beginning of the game, Midgar, to a full length game (Integrade DLC is a new background side story with Yuffie, in the original you can't recruit her until a while after leaving Midgar) Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth - Leaving Midgar to the explore the world map, covers and expands on everything up till around the end of disc 1 Final Fantasy 7 (Re?? - Not released yet) - Covers the rest of the game, disc 2 and disc 3 along with what other new plot points they're doing with the story.
