  1. No, FF games are not related unless they are specifically mentioned as part 2 of a game. For example, FF8 or FF16 is not related to FF7 at all, but you have FF7 - Part 2 (FF7 Rebirth) which is related and a pure sequel to FF7 Remake. Same way - FF11 is not related to FF10, but FF10-2 is a sequel to FF10 etc. You can easily play FF16 after this game. Story will not be related at all. There are only some small things (Easter Eggs) that are there across all FFs - but even they are not related. For example - there will always be a character called Cid in every FF game. But the Cid of every FF games are completely different people unrelated to each other, there will be chocobos etc.
  2. The PS+ Extra version is FF7 Remake: Intergrade (Check that you're downloading the PS5 version only. They also have the normal PS4 version on there! The Intergrade PS5 version has performance improvements, resolution improvements etc.). But I'm not sure if the Intermission Story DLC is included in that. You'll have to download and check. Anyways that DLC is to be played only after the base game is done. So if it's not included and you like the game, you can buy just the DLC after you finish the game I guess.
  3. You'll miss out on the story though - if you play Rebirth before Remake. The story is a huge part of all FF series. Playing the OG FF7 is not good enough for you to dive directly into Rebirth too. And the Remake summary sequence they added in Rebirth is poor. It does a very bad job of telling the story and captures none of the emotions of Remake's story at all. It's decent as a memory refresher if you've already played Remake some years ago, just to brush up on the story. It's not good at all for a new player to directly skip Remake and jump into Rebirth. Not to mention - it tells nothing of Intermission's story which is very important too.
  4. It can't even be called a proper remake. It's a very innovative concept actually. If you've played the old FF7 you'll notice something is wrong through-out the game, until you find out more about it (Won't say more for spoilers). But suffice to say - FF7 Remake is a full-length game. It will take you as much time to complete as a full game (Including the story), so SE is not actually cheating players or anything. Also, Part 2 (Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth) is not the end of the FF7 saga. There will be a Part 3 some time in the future as well (Already announced - Some time in 2026 or 2027 release is my guess). Don't try to binge these games btw. They're full length AAA JRPGs and you'll get burnt out. If you're starting Part 1 - I would say play it, then wait for a bit (Some other games in interim) and then go for Part 2. Part 1 (FF7: Remake, especially the Intergrade version with Intermission DLC) is an amazing game and deserves to be played. It deserves it's 89 meta. But whatever you do - don't play Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth before you've played Final Fantasy 7: Remake Intergrade and it's Intermission DLC.
  5. Movie is almost 3 hours long! 2nd viewing will not have as huge an impact as the first! I would say wait and watch on IMAX. 2nd viewing can be on normal/OTT/Blu-Ray depending on how much you liked the movie. As a bonus - waiting for a couple of days might also reduce the price of tickets!!
  6. Just looking at 80 and 80+ meta exclusives from January to April 2024, we have - 1) Granblue Fantasy: Relink 2) Helldivers 2 3) Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth 4) Rise of Ronin 5) Stellar Blade That's 5 exclusives that are 80 and above (Or will get 80 and above) in just the first 4 months of 2024. Then there are the multiplats which are also very good and MS hand-outs! There will be more announcements and releases during E3 time (June) and during the rest of the year too! Why will anyone say that there is nothing to play on PS5 in 2024 based on some internal memo leak tweet? There's too much in fact!!
  7. No not really! It's a very good console, but if you're looking at the absolute best in history - that influenced almost all gaming to this day - then you're looking at the SNES or the PS2. Almost every genre started in these 2 consoles and are continuing to this day.
  8. New Nintendo Direct confirmed for Feb 21, 2024 6 am PT (Appx. 7:30 pm IST I think). This will be 25 minutes long and will focus on games releasing on 1st half of 2024. It's a partner showcase so it'll mostly focus on 3rd party games coming to the Switch. There will also be a Pokemon Showcase on 27th Feb, 2024 at 6 am PT (appx. 7:30 pm IST I think) on Pokemon Day (The day Gen 1 Pokemon Games first released back in 1996) So 2 directs this week! Hopefully it'll have good announcements!
  9. It might - but 8-10 years is a long time with a lot of variables to predict I feel. By being a pioneer - MS has also elected to be a beta tester for Cloud. The other Beta Testers (Google, Amazon and Nvidia) are not doing too well - and Google is looking to exit (or has exited already). New tech might also come which cannot be replicated by Cloud. It's far too early to say anything I think about 2 gens down the line future!!
  10. For this to happen - Cloud Tech will have to improve by leaps and bounds first. Sony cannot go Cloud any time soon because they have no infrastructure. Sony has major sales in Rest of World Countries (Outside US and mainline Western EU Countries like UK) They will have to give up all those markets because they have no Cloud Infrastructure over there (Why we in India and so many countries get PS+ Deluxe instead of PS+ Premium which can support Cloud based PS3 games). MS can though - they are one of the pioneers and have huge investments in Azure. Their XBox sales are also not that high in ROW Countries. So full Cloud Future for Sony is still a long time away. This is just my opinion though! I could be completely wrong!
  11. If any of this is true - then I think it's in line with what I expected. As far as I'm aware - investors were sold on the idea of GamePass and MS allowed the backdoor cheap entry unofficially based on the pitch of "GamePass will be the Netflix of Games". This was possible with Satya Nadella's push for cloud. The only way to become a "Netflix" of anything - is to be on as many platforms as possible. So they coasted this gen with cheap GP and 3rd party deals while they built up their portfolio with 1st party acquisitions. After ABK it's become clear that MS will not be able to buy anything for a while. So now they'll slowly move away from pure Xbox I guess. They might go OEM way. They might even make deals with Sony and Nintendo to allow GP on their system comprising of 1st party games. I'm sure Sony and Nintendo will be happy -since MS first party now includes Bethesda and even Activision (Switch getting only low HW requiring games for now). Once their cloud tech is complete - you might even see full games on mobile. That's the only way I see any of this making sense.
  12. Konami released a game (Tech Demo) like P.T. for free yesterday after SOP - only on PS5 (No release on last gen like PS4). It's an almost 2.5 hour game. I would suggest downloading and keeping it in case Konami repeats the P.T. experience and removes the game with no option to re-download it back.
  13. No - they didn't show DD2 as an exclusive. In Company specific shows - the tag at the end only shows that specific company. For example - Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth and Persona 3 Reload only had Xbox, Gamepass and PC Tags in the Xbox showcase - despite being multi-platform from Day 1. This is because it's their show and they operate only on those platforms. Nintendo Directs are also the same as are Sony State of Plays. It's an industry standard at this point. You will only know a game is multi-platform after the show from 3rd party interviews. Sony generally tends to write - "Only on Playstation" if it's exclusive- something they didn't for DD2 Anyway it was a very good show. We have a lot of games announced from today to April. Rise of Ronin looks too good. Surprise drop of a Silent Hill Tech demo game. DS2 looks awesome! Overall a very good show!!
  14. Never heard of that store - but 300-500 Rs less and delivery after almost 15 -20 days! Seems a little suspicious and maybe or maybe not worth it
  15. While locking NG+ behind DLC and not giving regional prices on digital version is bad (Seriously digital version is 4400 Rs while the freaking MRP on the physical version is 4000 Rs and you can even get it for like 3800 Rs too) - the amount of content this game offers is just mind blowing! Seriously they have a full scale Animal Crossing type game, a modern re-imagining of Crazy Taxi, A Pokemon Parody game in addition to all the usual mini-games from other Yakuza titles and an almost 50 hours of just the main story (excluding sub-stories, side quests etc. as per game rant)! It's a strange paradox - game puts normal thing behind paywall, and which would lead any other developer to be accused of nickel and diming - but here the base game itself has too much content!
