Playstation at E3

Playstation had a strong line up here at E3 this year, with several amazing announcements and a jam packed line up.

Final Fantasy 7

First and foremost, lets just get it out of the way. Final Fantasy 7. Remade. We have all been waiting for this for or so long. And although only a teaser trailer.. it will eventually be playable!! That is all that matters. I’ve heard a lot of buzz about how .. maybe its just the nostalgia here, can this game really translate well in 2000’s. SHHH. The story of FF7 is what got so many people into adventure gaming and I’m super pumped that they are taking the time to return to such an amazing game and give it the much needed boost and upgrade. I’ll be following that closely… But of course there were no demos or other information beyond that trailer.

Tearaway Unfolded

Other games I really enjoyed were Tearaway Unfolded! This cute paper feel 3D platform game really takes use of the Microsoft controller. Tearaway the original was previously released on the PSVista but didn’t get a lot of publicity. Bringing this to the PS4, gives new like to a fun IP. It had a very katamari damacy feel to it.  Allowing items to be “thrown” in and out of the screen, camera to take pictures for a moose’s coat, and using the touch pad to control wind, and other fun in game elements. Now i’m sure that sounds a little strange, but it was actually quite natural. A lot of times these elements feel gimmicky or quirky, but in this game it was a real hit, adding to the enjoyment of being “in” the game.
