I completely steal Kane Knight's punchline, giving him nothing to work with, and you set him right back up again.
Are we even on the same side anymore? |

Square-Enix announces a huge 22-disc anniversary set will be released to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Final Fantasy series although there is a small catch.
Every game from the main series (FF 1 to 13) will be included along with a special video disc, visual art collection, 2-disc soundtrack, and a few other things. The set also celebrates the series history on the Playstation platform with a retail price of about $446 although it will only be released in Japan baring a future worldwide release announcement. Now for the actual catch to the collection, Square-Enix is releasing the games (except 1) on the actual format they were originally released on for the PlayStation brand. The PS1-only era games are multiple disc games while the PSP remake can only be played on a PSP handheld. Quote:

Unless you got all 4 systems, or the original ps3 with backwards compatibility, this is pretty much pointless.

They could, they just chose not to. Odds are, this financially benefits them.

That doesn't even sound remotely like a Final Fantasy game. All elements tying it to the series must be DLC.

Anyway it's too late for me to experience this end of a trilogy. FF13 didn't keep me long enough. Looks pretty, though. |

I actually preferred XIII to XII, but neither is in the top half of Final Fantasy games. I found Lightning to be the least interesting member of XIII/2's cast though, even when you consider Snow has absolutely no character development over two games.

The video shown however, was on a PC. Kojima claims however that it reflects the final quality on the PS3 as well, but that remains to be seen. |

After debuting Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes during Konami's 25th anniversary party for the series last week, Hideo Kojima reveals at PAX 2012 he would love to make a Metal Gear Solid game in the future where The Boss is the main character.
While he doesn't favor making spin-off games for the series itself, he wouldn't have a problem making one if it involves The Boss as the main character. The Boss herself is referenced as the mentor of Naked Snake's (Big Boss) in Metal Gear Solid 3. Quote:

Would love a game with The Boss as the main character. One of my favorite antagonists in gaming.

During a developer panel at PAX 2012, Gearbox announces they have separated the Brother in Arms series from the Furious 4 installment and instead will now treat the game as a standalone new IP project.
The decision was due to the game no longer fitting into the Brother in Arms series universe after the constant development changes had been done. Quote:

The unnamed source is the same source located in Japan who previously leaked several Wii U details that were confirmed later on by Nintendo. http://wiiudaily.com/2012/09/wii-u-z...e-coming-2014/ http://www.screwattack.com/news/rumo...oming-out-2014 |

Twilight Princess graphics didn't age as well as... say Wind Waker. I don't mind an expressive style or a happy middle ground. Very interested in the game world and how open the gameplay may be for it. Skyward seemed episode and linear, though it experimented with things I hope to see return (weapon maintenance and potion mixing).

I think that graphically the more 'real' a game tries to aim towards the less it ages well. I see games like MvC (or other cartoonish sprite games), Wind Waker, and tend to frown less on their looks than popping in something even semi-current like Mass Effect 1

That's the double edge sword of realistic visuals, it can only be enjoyed that console cycle (sometimes less than that). They can never be timeless to your eyes. That's not a bad thing, I just don't find realistic visuals interesting at all.
