Minimur, WTH Happened This Week? Final Fantasy X|X-2 on PS4, PS4 HDD Faceplates & FF Type-0 Demo!
So we’ve actually got a few games this week, 3 infact, one is out already but I’ve never actually heard of it before so I decided to involve it here:
Rock Boshers DX – Out Now (PS4, PS Vita – Cross buy/save)
Quote from the anouncement article:
A young Queen Victoria, bored and looking for adventure, dresses up incognito and sneaks onto a transport shell headed to Mars.
But oh no! Upon landing, all the travellers are rounded up and put to work deep underground in the Martian mines.
Why? How? Who is behind this dastardly plot?
Victoria must battle her way across Mars, and attempt to find a way home whilst collecting special food items as she goes.
I must say it looks okay, but I won’t be picking it up being as it doesn’t catch my interest enough.
Krinkle Krusher – Feburary 2015 (PS4, PS3, PS Vita) No news on whether it’s cross buy or not
This game looks pretty cool, it’s kind of a new take on castle defence – you need to protect your castle from ‘Krinkles’
These are krinkles:
You can use different spells, manipulate the ground, and tornados and such, I think I’ve actually sold this game to myself!
Banner Saga – ‘in 2015’ (PS Vita PS4)
A user asks if they are bringing Banner Saga 1 & 2 to the PS4 and Vita, to which the developer replies:
First and foremost – we’re concentrating on getting The Banner Saga out on PS4 and Vita in 2015 –
then we’ll tackle the next thing as it comes up!
If you really can’t wait, the game is about on everything other than the consoles, iOS, Android, OS X, Windows – But I think these sorts of games are best played on a console.
For those of you who haven’t seen this game before, maybe this quote from the article can help you:
Another thing that’s exciting for us is to bring that old-school style of gaming back to the modern age. We’re big fans of games such as Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy Tactics, and The Banner Saga was heavily influenced by how those games operated. We wouldn’t be here without those great games that really proved handheld tactics games had an audience and a right to be there.
If you followed the PS Experience you might have found out that PS have released PS4 faceplates in the style of Little Big Planet 3 and The Order : 1886, I like the design of them but I find that they are a bit extravagant and obvious, unlike the Japanese ones being released which were minimalistic and stylish
Don’t get be wrong, they’re nice, but a bit too obvious for my liking, however, if you still want them they’re still available: Little Big Planet 3 The Order: 1886
Moving onto an alternative….. Although it isn’t officially licensed and all that jazz, they do look pretty awesome and remind me of the original PlayStation controllers that were see through.
I really like these, if you would like one, you’ll unfortunately have to have it shipped from a Japanese shop named AmiAmi here:

They sell some other cool stuff too:

So the long awaited (by about 8 years) Final Fantasy 15 will finally have a playable demo……On the disc for Final Fantasy Type-0
The reasoning behind this?
Well:
It’s intended to be a special gift for those of you who purchase early,
I’m pretty certain that Square Enix have it in for Sony, with them pairing with Microsoft for the next Tomb Raider, to them not bringing the FF7 Hd Remaster and just a port, and not having Type-0 as a Vita game, which every Vita owner pretty much wants
For those curious, Type-0 will be released in US on March 17th, will you be picking it up?
As I was saying, this little snippet is about Square Enix and Microsoft – it has been announced that Microsoft will be publishing Rise of the Tomb Raider. Now don’t jump to conclusions and think that it’s fully exclusive like I did, because it’s not, it still has a duration, how long that is isn’t known, but it’ll be released in ‘holiday 2015’
Unfortunately, there hasn’t been any new videos for the game since the announcement, so here’s the announcement video:
Oooh, Okay, maybe Square are doing some pretty cool stuff. This week they announced that they will be bringing Final Fantasy 10|10-2 to the Ps4, it surprises me they didn’t announce it at the PS Experience, a double whammy of FF7 and this, it certainly would’ve taken the sting off.
SE have announced a price for the game,and a release window of Spring 2015, the price will be £32.99 and for the FF7 port, £13
Here’s the strange story for the week, Microsoft have made the transition to virtual currency, and are now accepting Bitcoin transactions on their US store.
It hasn’t been made known if it’ll be coming to the UK store anytime known

>FF Type-0 Demo
God dammit I got excited there thinking that a demo for Type-0 was going to come out
Am i the only one who thinks a psp game on the ps4 is kind of stupid?
@Ernie
I realize it seems silly, but take my word for it that type 0 is one of the best ff games ever created. The hd upgrade is really good news and I think playing it on a better control pad will further immerse people into the game.
Nope, you’re definitely not. When it was announced on PS4 the whole world erupted, there’s probably more people confused and upset about this than glad. I’ll definitely be buying it, but the only right way to release this psp game would be on the vita. A portable game remastered for a console is stupid.
No I mean I would play psp games on my ps4 jus cuz.
As I’m playing thru Lara croft:Tomb Raider right now on my PS4, i’m excited about Rise of the Tomb Raider but sad it comes out after a “”Limited Exclusive” for the Xbox One.
Yeah, it was such a letdown when I found this out a little after E3 that year. Maybe my PC can handle it though, there’s always that. Anything done on X1 eventually comes to PC it seems.

But thanx to the Scene I can enjoy FF Type-0 with Fan translation on my PSVita eCFW 3.18 thanx Hackers wont buy it on Ps4 or Xone
SE you sucks will only buy a FF Type-0 Remake if they release it on PS Vita
@Ernieball Dito PSP games on Ps4 are kinda funny better on PS vita ….
Right I wana play type-o on the vita. Well remaster for the vita.
Miss squear soft Idk about white cooperate America.
The Banner Saga looks like Magic: the Gathering/Wagic: the Homebrew Khans of Tarkir, with flowing red Mardu banners and snowy Temur lands…
No vita no buy, I aint getting FFType-0 until they put it on the console we ASKED for.
As much as I wish I had online capabilities, im content with the Fan Translation.

@Telgardrakore
Just buy a second PSvita second Hand or so… and play online again
I just want to Wololo that i enjoy using your website and thanks for the info!
touhou theme came to jp PSstore!
it would be kinda fun if they’ve actually managed to released “The Banner Saga” after the fuckup that is “the CandyCrushSaga” and the idiots who made it trying to license candy and saga…next thing you know…they’re trying to license every words so we have to pay to use it… but it would b fun to try it on the console, especially the handheld consoles.
and as for FF-Type 0, i would b excited to play that game.
Iam getthing a server case for my ps4 cuz I wanted to make a big 0 gaming rigs with a pstwo ps3 and ps4.
