Best thing from SONY's conference was Shadow of the Colossus for PS4, THAT LOOK GORGEOUS, I CRIED A LOT.

That said I feel the atmosphere took a negative hit with the graphical upgrade...hopefuly this is something that will be fixed by 2018.

Hey now.

Yuri Watanabe, Mr. Negative, AND Miles Morales?

Sign me the fuck up.

We were saying last night that it looked really good, it's just not something you end the conference with. They teased it like it was TLOU2 or something Square Enix.

The one thing about the Pokémon for Switch & the Metroid 4 announcements that I find a little bit less... exciting(?) is that they showed a title for one, and said, "it's a thing that's happening" for the other. It doesn't carry the same hype weight as TLoU2 or the FFVIIR reveals, or even the Beyond Good & Evil 2 one, because there just wasn't anything actually THERE. Still really looking forward to seeing how they turn out though, since Nintendo's solid on delivering what the talk about for the most part.

Although it seems the Remake, (especially with the shift in development focus as of late), is going to be riddled with development problems much like XV is. At least this time, Square can't cut out and change the entire plot line and not expect the fans to know.

I really think you're jumping the gun with this. Seriously. I know you want to hear or see something before you go away for months on end, but let's be real. We have no legit cause to believe VII's development is having problems right now; Square is not in the same state is was when Versus

What still boggles my mind about still having no news/new footage is... back in February when MAGIC 2017 was going on Nomura had a trailer he wanted to show the fans. Albeit it was most likely going to be a show case of the bombing mission proper and mainly the Guard Scorpion . Regardless of what the trailer was Nomura had something to show us. And Square didn't let him show it.

Meaning, for at least the past 4 months Square have been sitting on content and a finished trailer to potentially show us. If not at E3, then when are they going to give us more? Tokyo Game show? PSX 2017? E3 2018?

Honestly now that I've seen nothing from the Remake save the 2 screenshots the first half of 2017, I'm having my doubts it'll come before 2019 unless for these next 6 months we get some substantial new drop.

Like I said last night, perhaps Square learned their lesson about showing one too many trailers ahead of the finished product. Perhaps Nomura hasn't learned that yet. This is probably a hint that the first installment of the remake is nowhere close to being done.

Either way, I think you're psyching yourself out. We will get a trailer when we get a trailer. Yes, I was disappointed last night too, but I wasn't psyching myself up months prior to this--just when the stream started. ;)

Square still has some things that I am looking forward to with their presentations over the next few days (TZA wat wat) so I'm not completely disappointed.

You sound very sure of yourself, so I assume you're aware of this kind of thing, and have an opinion of it? :P. There seems to have been a lot more planned at the conceptual stage. I'm not claiming expert knowledge or anything, but have seen a few videos on the subject.

Of course I know about those. :monster: SotC was my life for a while, and I was one of the first people in the world outside the dev team to see stuff like the dam.

Have you seen stuff like this, though? Fumito Ueda and Kenji Kaido have been clear that they could have added more to the game (including optional colossi) had they wished, but they pruned back what was unnecessary in order to devote the most effort to the core experience and ensure the highest quality in what made it to the final game.

Though I'm not sure if they came right out and said so, that should reasonably include additional ruins/explorable areas given how intricately tied to one another the colossi and their environments are.

Might be that there are some sensitive politics at play since CyberConnect2 is seemingly no longer involved with the making of FFVIIR. Square might not feel comfortable (not just emotionally but also from a legal standpoint) showing off CyberConnect2's old work as Square's own. Worst-case scenario, Square is starting over almost from scratch with FFVIIR. =/

I think that this is spot on. With the shift to in-house, I think it's a massive pride thing (though maybe there is some legal tangles involved) not to show CC2's assets or work. In which case, it could be a very long time before we see something of VIIIR again. I guess it all depends just how heavily involved CC2 actually were.

Agreed on all points here, and the more you look at it, the more it seems like that's the case with this being both FF's 30th and VII's 20th anniversaries. Insofar as E3 is concerned, I think that so long as FFVIIR isn't missing when big updates about Death Stranding & The Last of Us 2 are up on display, it won't feel COMPLETELY like it's been left in a sea of nothingness forever and all time.

Just some rambling thoughts I've been mulling over in my head since this morning:
Considering how long the development times games like Death Stranding (I don't think Kojima is going to be done before 2018 ends), TLoU2, and FFVII Remake are liable to take, combined with how much Microsoft and Sony were pushing the Xbox One X and PS4 Pro & VR I think their 8th generation (or 8.5) of consoles is actually going to end up lasting a lot longer than people may have been expecting. I think it's very likely we won't be seeing the PS5 (and proper 9th generation Microsoft home console) until 2022-2023.

My current guesstimate for Kingdom Hearts III's release date I think will be winter holidays of 2018 (since Square Enix plans to have 1-2 blockbuster titles per years for the next few years). The first FFVII Remake entry/part, I think will have a 2019 release (with 2020, 2021 (and maybe 2022) releasing the next parts) along with maybe a third FFXIV expansion by the end of that year, and the upcoming Marvel IP game I think is going to be a 2020 or 2021 release.

If they ever get around to developing a FFXVI game, I think it's likely going to be a PS5 (and 9th generation Microsoft home console) launch title (along with a port/complete collection of the multiple FFVII Remake parts) at the earliest.

So... an actual Pokemon game to come to Switch? They announced Pokken for Switch, it's definitely not that?

...because then if so, it's the one thing outside the VIIRe, that I've always wanted. :drool:

You forget that people can side-by-side with the Switch's portability. So the spirit of handheld gaming is still there enough that it can work for Pokemon without restricting it entirely to online interaction with people you may not know.

I think many folks were concerned about this game initially. After watching this, I think it doesn't look too bad.

I must sadly report my hype is fading away....

Hope (not FFXIII related) still remains though....
