  • Playstation Turns 20. Feel Old Accordingly

    Playstation is celebrating their 20th anniversary today. The original Playstation went on sale in Japan on December 3, 1994. I would say it was somewhat a success, selling over 120 million consoles and taking the crown from “untouchable” Nintendo (which pains me to say as a Nintendo fanboy). The system would go on sale in America on September 9, 1995.

    I remember playing the demo for Wipeout at Toys R Us and thinking “this is the f***ing future”. Then I played the demo for Battle Arena Toshinden and said “this isn’t fun, I’ll play Wipeout again”.

    While I may hold on to the fact that Nintendo 64 was my console of choice, I always have memorable moments with my PS1. Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy VII, Gran Turismo. Hours of gaming that will never be forgotten.

    Happy Birthday, Playstation.

  • Final Fantasy XV TGS Trailer Is Jaw-Dropping.

    Final Fantasy XV is still being made. Square wants you to know this since they brought a shiny new trailer to TGS. Watching it I couldn’t help but be amazed at how beautiful it was and the combat looks to be in real-time. Let’s hope that it won’t take 15 hours to get interesting like Final Fantasy XIII.

    There is no release date because, Final Fantasy. I think Square just shows us new stuff to prove they are not going full Last Guardian even though the game has been in development since 2006 when it was announced as Final Fantasy Versus XIII.

    If I can hit a chocobo with a car, the wait will be worth it.
