Sony has been pretty vague and unclear about what backwards compatibility really means for the PlayStation 5. However, a newly-discovered patent may have revealed the company's plans for backwards-compatibility on the PS5. We already know that the upcoming next-gen console will feature PS4 game support (apparently thousands of PS4 games will be pl...

Need a quick summary of how Final Fantasy's combat has evolved from turn-based to menu-heavy real-time battle? This video will give you a rundown from the first to the most current! https://youtu.be/R_G4tJQac6s If you want a super-detailed version of Final Fantasy's combat evolution, look no further than Kumikones' retrospective.

The RPG Valkyrie Profile signalled a time in late 90s JRPGing where companies like Enix showcased their innovation to the fullest while delivering stellar production value. This is especially telling given the bombastic soundtrack from composer Motoi Sakuraba who is just going through the motions with the Dark Souls and Tales Of series. Which is w...
It's only a month away until Final Fantasy 7 Remake hits store shelves for the PS4. Bet you can't wait to revisit the series and use heroes like Cloud and Tifa, eh? If you're familiar with the series, however, you won't be using one particular red four-legged talking mutant. According to Final Fantasy 7 Remake co-director Naoki Hamaguchi (via VG24...
This week marks the birth week of the very first Squaresoft mecha-heavy turn-based strategy RPG title Front Mission, a 1995 Super Famicom title that mixes Battletech mecha fights with allusions of politics in a sci-fi world. There are five main entries and a number of side games in the series. The main games have their ups and downs, but they're s...
It's common knowledge now in 2020 that Final Fantasy Tactics is a verified classic; great battle system, lovely customization with its Job System, and a detailed Shakesperean story for the ages (mangled by its localization in the PS1 days). But you know what else? It's also a modder's favourite as the game has been hacked to provide tougher fights...
In case you couldn't tell byour recent Facebook cover page updates, we REALLY dig the pixel artwork of the PS1. It's funny: despite the console having limited capabilities in doing 2D sprites when compared to the Sega Saturn in the same era, somehow or other it came out as the better console in the long-run when it comes to overall graphics. Simp...

Today marks the 25th anniversary of the PlayStation, in case you couldn't tell from your game-fuelled Facebook feed or on our front page of the website. 25 years ago this week, the first PlayStation was launched in Japan.

Man, I remember a time when I enjoyed the heck out of Chrono Trigger on the PS1. Yes, I'm one of those guys late to the SNES JRPG party. But the fact that a 1995 SNES cartridge game ported on a CD anthology -tacked on with loading times, mind you- can still impress me more than all the PS1 FFs and Konami/Capcom JRPGs combined is a testament to the...
The PlayStation 2 will be keeping its throne as the best-selling video game console of all time but the original PlayStation goes down to third place and replacing it is none other than its own younger brother skipping one generation, the PlayStation 4. Accoriding to Sony's recently published Q2 FY2019 Consolidated Financial Results report, tota...
Talk about strip-mining your vestiges of long-forgotten IPs. Koei Tecmo, the publisher of such high-brow fares like the Dynasty Warrior series and the next Dead or Alive game, is going back to the well with Monster Rancher. At least, that's what everyone is guessing based on the newly-opened Twitter account from the publisher. This is to celebrate...
Did you love the deconstructivism and sombre narrative of Chrono Trigger's sequel on the PS1? Most importantly, did you relish in the majestic soundtrack created by Yasunori Mitsuda, arguably one of the most important composers in video game history? Then you'll love the Cross Symphonic album. Created by composer John Paul Hayward, the upcoming al...
I took the PlayStation Classic for a spin recently. And while a few of the games deserved to be on the retro-throwback cube, I felt that there should be other worthy titles in the mix. As it stands, the motley of games on the mini retro console is, how shall I put it, lacking. I'm not saying I know better, but as someone who lived through the 90s ...
Update: Japan's version of the PlayStation Classic has its own unique list, and it's way better. So PlayStation is getting into the mini retro console game with the PlayStation Classic.
