My understanding is that the PS1 and PS2 emulators on PS3 are simply plugging different game isos into the PS1 and PS2 Classic official emulators, and the compatibility rate seems to be very high. Similar results on PS4 as well with those PS2 Classic frameworks, which means they should likely work without much issue…

Persona 6: Oops All Dancing!

If it is high on your list, then I’d actually recommend playing the first few hours at some point. In my mind the game was at its best at the beginning and at the end of disc one 50 hours later, so if you just play the first 5ish hours you get to see a lot of the highs of the game as well as a great cross-section of…

I see them the same way. My earliest gaming memories are of the SNES, so it’s always been important to me to have that system as a constant in my life. My original SNES is still kicking, but it’s frustrating to have to rely on converters and adapters (I’ve tried so many at this point) to get a decent picture on modern…

That’s what I’d hope for at least. There are these little bits of greatness in there and the core concept (a conflict between characters across countless generations) is incredibly intriguing, which make me understand why people are fascinated with this game. It probably has more big ideas than nearly any other game…

Cliff notes are liked condensed study guides you can buy for common high school or college classes, or about specific books taught in those classes. Basically condensing a ton of information for rote memorization and removing everything else. The video game equivalent of the way that Xenogears handles some major…

Thanks! I remember having the option to buy a Super NT when they first released as well, but I think the money was a tough sell at that moment. Naturally it wasn’t until it was out of stock for months at a time that I started to feel the itch (and in the meantime, try nearly every other method of playing SNES games on…

After years of trying and putting it off, I finally finished Xenogears last weekend. And I gotta say...I’m not sure it was worth the 70+ hours, it’s kind of a fucking mess across the board. I’d heard plenty about the second disk’s abrupt transition to abridged scenes, but that always gave me the sense that it went…

Nice! I somehow managed to get an order in for a Super NT after waiting for what feels like forever for them to restock (and for an excruciating half an hour while I had to wait in the checkout queue and worry that my order was going to be cancelled, even though I clicked it at 10am on the dot). 

Seems more like delayed marketing for Far Cry or another Tom Clancy game.

The best numbers I can find show PSVR at about 5 million units since release, with PS4 currently at about 115 million units. I’m not sure saying that an expensive hardware unit that was chasing other existing trends (similar to the Move), was never supported that well, was a pretty mediocre VR headset from my…

“Sony and Nintendo try to innovate, with more or less success, with each console generation...”

“Come on baby, I know I’m a huge fuckup who does the bare minimum and just gets stoned all day instead of being a functioning person, and I know I’ve barely changed in any measurable way and am still a huge fuckup compared to anyone else, and yeah I’m also pretty problematic and think I’m way more interesting than I…

Activision: “You know, we really needed someone who could provide first hand accounts of committing war crimes for that true authenticity in next year’s CoD, and boy howdy, this guy sure overdelivers.”

I mean, I’m just incredibly grateful that Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon are still easily accessible on one of the three main modern platforms. Plenty of great and unique JRPGs from that generation are even more landlocked and actually require keeping those old consoles around - Last Story and Eternal Sonata, especially.

“Yawn, I’m so high above this low logic that I find it necessary to type Yawn to indicate my nonchalance even while I’m both needlessly pedantic and (yawn) have poor reading comprehension, completely missing the point that (yawn) it was a comment on the show as a whole and only a small part (yawn) actually applies to…

Same. A few months ago I had the strange unexpected urge to replay FFXV now that a bunch of patches and DLC has been added, plus it’s on Game Pass. But 120gb is an insane amount of space for a single game, both from a hard drive and internet data cap point of view (and I suppose a download time point of view as well,…

Because the “pirates” you look down on have acted as the gaming industry’s archivists for nearly the entirety of the medium’s existence while the publishers and developers were often quick to discard old code and materials as they started the next game (Square had to go through considerable effort to rebuild FFVII,…

As others have said, it’s more distressing to me that this video game that’s likely glorifying the largest in a series of war crimes probably has a sizable audience at all. At some point I fully expect the publisher to lean into this controversy with marketing along the lines of “Wanna really own those libs?! Preorder…

One of my biggest wishes for the gaming industry would be for the major companies and publishers to give half a shit and at least do the bare minimum to preserve and honor their history. I’d love for them to even contract with developers that have proven themselves to be great at legacy collections and modernizations (…
