Well, I can already hear Xbox shills mashing on their keyboards, venting their anger on twitter
They shouldn't even be surprised at this point. Why should they even bother? Xbox gave up y'all! Either move on or don't. They might as well just quit gaming if they're gonna freak out that much, when worse has already happened.

They also should feel lucky that there are "somewhat first-party" games being released for their consoles, or their IPs getting revived; Way better than having almsot nothing at all during the XB1 era

They're just upset that they can't use the "no games" meme on the Playstation 5 without coming off as giant hypocrites. Not that that will STOP them, just that it makes them hypocrites now, and they don't like it.

It's not that these 16-bit 2.5D JRPG games don't look great (they amazing!), but IDK, seems like an overdone genre at this point

This one in particular, is supposed to play more like a Zelda game. I honestly don't mind these type of games. I'm not into them, but hey, if they're making people happy. Then, all the more power to them. I get what you mean, as so many's of these games lose their uniqueness when there are a ton of them, but they're still not that many of them.

According to this report, AMD has confirmed that the Steam Machine is "on track" and will be available "Early 2026".


Do you think they'll announce the price by then?
And, well, maybe not.


Our goal of shipping all three products in the first half of the year has not changed.
We're from "early 2026" to "first half of the year" now.

As much as I am hyped for part 3, I hope this is just a rumor, and Sony don't go through with this.

1. FF7 in particular has always been a PS game; I think Sony fans deserve to have the first taste
2. Later-release on other platforms always came as more polished version compared to PS launch; I'd rather not experience technical issues
3. I can wait 6 months - 1 year; It really isn't that long of a time
4. I don't want to assume, but this sounds like Sony trying to maximize sales

This isn't a rumor. Square is making this game day one on all systems. Exclusivity hurt them twice, and they're making their money back. It's why the first two games are coming out on both Switches att cheaper prices. The pricing of the games is actually what hurt them in the first place. Square can't afford exclusivity anymore. Max Dood talked about this last night during his stream and one of his previous FFVII videos.

Ahh that makes sense. I mean it could be that they set an unrealistic goal (but then who doesn't these days), but who am I to judge?

Exclusivity works for stand alone games and I think if they had managed to make FF7 only be a single game it would have been fine. But the project scope got too large and they couldn't support it entirely off one system.

Remake on Switch sold out everywhere and that is great on one hand. But on the other hand how much more money would they be making off the game if they didn't have to sell it at a discount in the first place? Imagine all these sales being full price? I think that's the money they don't want to leave on the table for the final part. Let it come out everywhere at once and the FF7project can end with a bang.

On one hand, I do want to play it asap, but on the other, I do like the pc getting a more polished version of it, usually with extra content and a lower price.
