Saying that you can't drive the car in FFXV really shows how far they got in it haha. That said, I really disliked FFXV. What a damn mess.
What?
I also fnished hated FFXV btw. But as fat as I know you can't drive the car - you can sort of semi-steer it along rails.
They actually released a patch last month that added a dune buggy upgrade for your car and allows you to take it off-road.
Though I imagine ghosthouse was referring to your very first trip where Ignis will drive for you and there's no way to take the wheel (at least if you let him drive when given the choice).
I'll have to watch the full presser, but why is everyone assuming this is a "prequel"? It could very easily be the "ten years later" scenario, where Jade and the resistance have gone full pirate in order to achieve freedom. Also not sure why folks are saying its "unrelated" clearly the first city was the same one as the main hub in BG&E.
If you'd watched the presser you'd know. Michel Ancel said on stage it's set before Jade was born. The green-eyed lady is called Dakini.
@nervesnormal: Dude almost this entire episode was story stuff.
Sure, but you keep pushing for "side episodes" that will be full of real estate/club management. Who wants to watch that? You've finished the first real estate area so you've basically seen it all, the rest of the areas are the same thing. The very light story that's there isn't important or worth caring about at all. Same thing for club management, once you clear one area you've seen it all. Instead of finally getting more than one episode a week but immediately wasting it on boring stuff, why not just put both to use and actually finish the game in a timely manner?
Here's the thing though -- Yakuza Kiwami doesn't come out till August 29. When they started this back in February, I thought they'd finish it in two months, and that they'd have to think of something else to play in the interim. But with Kiwami just 3 months away and a fair bit of story content to go, I think they'll just take a break after they finish.
The way I see it, the more side stuff they do, the shorter the wait for Kiwami. Just let them 100% the game if they feel like it, and if you don't like what you're seeing, skip ahead.
Keep in mind there's also 100 hours of Persona 4 footage on this website. I sure as hell didn't watch all of that either, but plenty of people did.
This is quite a bit worse than what I would consider a B game. This is pretty poor, even for its time. PS2 was at the same time as Metroid Prime and RE4, we knew what decent games looked like then.
Anyway, I'll throw a suggestion into the ring. Baten Kaitos or, better yet, Baten Kaitos: Origins.
At the time character action could still be A-tier (not something that really happens these days), so I could see this as an also-ran B-tier game. It gets tricky when you consider major publishers like Capcom also had B-tier output like Chaos Legion and God Hand, though. That could push Bujingai into the C-tier. Nonetheless, I'd much rather see them do stuff like this than Star Wars.
I think Japanese games are a bit more difficult to categorize in general. Baten Kaitos is a B-tier RPG, but is it a B-game?
For the general gaming populous, it'd probably fall into the "niche Japanese game" category, which is a different thing altogether. Same with most RPGs on PS2, honestly. I really miss that B-tier of PS2 RPG. These days we only have C-tier and (failed) A-tier.
That said, whenever JRPGs get brought up, Vinny mentions he still hasn't gotten around to his copies of Eternal Sonata (coincidentally, from the same devs as Baten Kaitos) and Rogue Galaxy. I think Rogue Galaxy would be much better suited for a video like this. Doing a Baten Kaitos game in 2-hour video... No way.
This isn't a B-game. How do they manage to name excellent examples, like Dark Sector, TimeShift and Fracture, only to pick none of those and instead play Force Unleashed?
I dunno if Jason was doing something wrong but the combat looked really sluggish and slow compared to how i remember these games being. Maybe the whole open world thing is the problem.
Is this version only running at 30FPS? I figured the PC version was based off of this version, but the PC version runs at 60 if you've got the hardware for it.
Unless the GB player isn't displaying 60FPS for some reason.
GB messed up the video and it actually runs at a silky smooth 60fps on PS4. Pretty irritating, actually. It's one thing to misrepresent Japanese RPGs due to a lack of knowledge (which always happens on GB), but it's another to misrepresent them by messing up the encoding or whatever.
Anyway, here's the DigitalFoundry vid which compares the PS4 to the Switch and Vita versions (the latter two of which you can't actually get outside of Japan):
