The Last Remnant Remaster announced for PS4. Explanation for PC version cancellation confirmed.

Hope the new features are actually useful. Maybe multiple endings or some shit.

 

[Lyre Mors]

Hope they give current PC owners a free upgrade. Fat chance, I'm guessing.

is last remnant the one where battles play out like a weird mix of jrpg and football?

Best rendition of SaGa combat, imo. The closest thing we'll ever get to another Ogre Battle.

 

[aweigh]

Looks alright. Drab color palette though.

Currently it's PS4 and Japan only.

I loved the game - the PC version was already and enhancement over the 360 version.

Its 100% planned for PC. No way SE pulling the game from Steam without planning to re-distribute it there.

No new content. Basically porting the PC version back for consoles.

Will there be any new content added to The Last Remnant Remastered?

Sakamoto: There is no new content. It includes all of the elements that were added when it was ported to the PC version. On top of that, we’ve enabled high-speed movement in the field. Also, we’ve increased the number of save data slots. I think both of these will be helpful during gameplay.

Makes no sense to pull the PC version, if the PS4 port is the same. But SE and making sense...

 

[Lyre Mors]

Bunch of be old men making bad decisions. SE needs the next generation to take over.

 

[vonAchdorf]

Sometimes they did allow that (Yoshi and FF14).
If the put the game back on Steam as enhances version, I think previous owners will get a discount (they did that with other games they own), but I'm not sure if it's worth replaying because of just slightly better graphics. I can't even remember if there were limited safe slots on PC.
But I liked the game and the world was interesting - even with its shortcomings.

It already has, Wada's retirement is one reason you're seeing games like Octopath made, and Scarlet Grace get translated. The fall of the AAA RPG has brought Japan back from obscurity.

Sacrificing Final Fantasy for a berth of lower budget JRPGs is well worth the trade. Dragon Quest XI has proven time and zeigeist have no effect on a classic, turn-based game.

Now if we can just Sakaguchi to stop surfing in Hawaii, and remaster Lost Odyssey for PC, and maybe make a game that isn't mobile we can REALLY get the ball rolling.

 

[Abu Antar]

Removing the PC version "makes sense". The PS4 version is based off that. The PC version cost €10. This version will cost €20. I think it will be $40 in Japan. I'm sure will see this version on PC soon enough.

 

[Deflowerer]

It won't be on UE3 though anymore, they're updating the engine.

The original PC port was fucking terrible in every way though, so if they can get a more optimized version out on Steam and aren't terribly crooked nose about it, it'll be okay.

Cthulhu Mythos RPG -The Sleeping Girl of the Miasma Sea-, Japanse doujin Cthulhu RPG thing published by DLSite.com:

 

[getter77]

That looks Sweet Home as all hell at a glance---coincidence has to be all but impossible at this level. Might be good regardless though.

 

[Viata]

So, the Call of Cthulhu game we were all waiting for has come.
