I can't lie, some of that extra content in Sonic Origins is looking kinda nice. Bummer about the MJ music being absent in Sonic 3 & Knuckles. But please don't let my Ice Cap Zone music be gone. Please. Please.

 

 

And we can FINALLY play Shredder's Revenge. That's what I hate about digital games. It can be the date that the game is released but you still can't play it until the game/company/publishers says so. Anyhoo.

 

[iStu X]

Just finished co-op’ing the game with my friend. Such a great game. I recommend not playing arcade mode until you complete story mode with a few characters As your character progression in story mode carry over to arcade mode. So max amount of lives, moves unlocked, etc. 
 

Casey is unlocked once you play through the story mode.

FF7 anniversary celebration reminder

FF7R Intergrade coming to Steam.

Edit:  uh wait is this that mobile game they were planning to do in parts?  Looks like when you go into battle it uses the FF7R graphics.   Yeah its Ever Crisis.  Maaaan just release this on consoles please?

 

Aaand here's Crisis Core.  Crisis Core Remake is real.  They really updated the visuals on this game in comparison to its psp counter part but its not so intensive that it can't be on Switch...so just waiting for the confirmation after this trailer is done.  Called Crisis Core Reunuion aaand yup...coming to everything under the sun.  

FF7R part 2 trailer.  FF7 Rebirth, PS5 only, coming Winter.  And they've finalized how many parts FF remake will be.  FF7R will be 3 parts.

I caught the end of that stream and it was laggy as hell man. Crisis Core Remake on Switch has me hype though.

[Sonichuman]

Also capcom did their 10 years of Dragon's Dogma video aaand spoiler warning....there isn't an announcement of a new game within

Edit:  Apparently I'm wrong and they announce it waaaay at the end but there's no trailer or anything.  They just have shirts showing the title for the game.

 

Nobody in the comments seem to be hype for anything so I was wrong on this.

Weirdly enough this seems like too few parts. Like it feels they’re going to be cutting out a looooooot of stuff.

I know of someone that loves Dragon's Dogma.  He'll be hype for part 2.  I've tried Dragon's Dogma a couple times but I just cant get into it.  I still have it installed so I'll give it another try and see if it clicks with me this time.

It really opens up once you get to Gran Soren start messing with different vocations and more advanced skills.

[HD-Man]

Ff7 Remake being 3 games while the original was 3 discs seems about right, then again, ALOT of stuff could get cut from the games, Im not entirely sure they can do it all in 3 but I'm hopeful 

 

Crisis Core remake is bought, finally get to play it

[RegH81]

I never played Crisis Core but watched videos of it. Zack was cool AF and I loved his friendship with Cloud. Hopefully the expand upon it in CC Reunion. I'm still not feeling Zack's new VA but maybe he'll grow on me.

It's possible parts 2 and 3 are much longer since most of the groundwork is there from part 1?

 

I mean I definitely agree stuff will get cut or combined, but might not be that cut up.

You can wall infinite the mousers in episode 5 for the 250-hit combo achievement.

[RSG3]

Man I wake up from my nap to see SE actually showing shit off? They actually showed content? Incredible. 

 

Remake of Crisis Core is awesome, and it looks like they updated the controls to be a lot smoother and nicer to use. Really cool. 

 

And hype for FF7-R 2. 

[Wellman]

I was just thinking this current E3/Summer announcement period was kind of weak. Glad to see it had some proper meat and not just bones.

I had to look up some of the other people involved in the TMNT OST  and realized that Anton lightly dabbled in OC ReMix.  He went by "Tuesday" back then.

[RegH81]

Soundtrack for TMNT: Shredder's Revenge is up on Spotify and YouTube. Some of the tracks in this game sound like unused music from Sonic Mania. And Mega Ran provied some vocals.

 

Beat my first run of the game. Leo is now at Level 10 and I don't plan on touching arcade mode until everyone is maxed out.

 

Also, I didn't notice it at first but April is THICC.

 April has so much swag in this game. The way she uses her camera is hilarious and awesome.

Damn, FFVII Rebirth and a Crisis Core remake? Square is not fooling around 🤯. Though it seems Crisis Core kept the casino battle feature from the original.

 

 

 

 

 

[MillionX]

Sometimes I think about playing Borderlands Pre-Sequel again, but mainly because 2 of my favorite characters in terms of abilities/builds are in that one---- Wilhelm and Doppelganger Jack... but I'd prefer they be in the Borderlands 3 gameplay style which is a bit faster paced due to the slide move and characters being able to grab ledges.... it's frustrating to realize what's *not* being done with that franchise.  My dream Borderlands game would be if they just put every major character in as playable, regardless of lore and certain characters being dead.... I'd throw them all on the roster... along with people who haven't been playable before, like perhaps Moxxi, Dr. Tannis and Scooter, Dr. Zed, etc.  To me, it's the best thing to just make a game's roster as huge as possible.... the more character/class options to play the better.

[BornWinner]

Overwatch 2 just keeps delivering.

 

 
PvE, a mode they announced that would be in and something that was not in the first game, will be added next year.

Square doing remakes of original 7 AND Crisis Core????? How???? 

 

It has to be teams of like 500 people working on both projects

Apparently it's an f2p gacha. Tone down your hype.

Yeah, square is big and has multiple dev teams. 500 is probably a huge over estimate for CC but yeah

F2P on Mobile doesn't mean that the game will be F2P on consoles.  They could easily price this game close to full price and put it out on consoles.

If they remove the weapon gacha element and just release all the "story", sure,  maybe, the gameplay is traditional so it can work 

 

However Square is fucking dumb so they'll never do this

Oh yeah, so I got the new TMNT on Switch first... of course I picked the best one first; Donatello.  It's interesting that Splinter and April are already there; I assumed 1 or both of them would be unlocks like Casey Jones.  I've only played the first stage so far but I'm loving it.

VGM Friday!  I just got finished listening to Shredder's Revenge OST and yeah...Tee is killing it.  This man is not missing right now.  First post will be turtle focused with 2 selected from Shredder's Revenge.

Edit:

 

I'll go ahead and put the regular contribution here since I have the time to do it

Anytime this track comes up in my playlist it never ceases to amaze me on the intricacies of how its composed.  Kondo does so much with the main theme in arranging it for this.

I'm pretty sure I know the context of this  (I haven't played Crisis Core) but this is far funnier out of context.

I've only rocked with April so far. I'll try to finish up my first run tonight. I knew this game would be good but they went above and beyond. We need to get a thread or ...ugh Discord channel or something so we can all link up for multiplayer. I may double dip on this one. It's so good I don't mind giving them more cash.

Here it is. My guide to getting a combo of 250.
