TWO MAJOR GAMES are making a return to the PS4, one a remake of one of the most beloved games in history while the other is the return of an old series cut short.
Final Fantasy VII, the acclaimed Playstation game that was released back in 1997, will be getting a remake and will be released first on PS4.
No release date was provided but it’s likely it will appear on PC and Xbox One as well.
The other classic game making a return is Shenmue III. The game, whose predecessors were released on the ill-fated Dreamcast (the second one appeared on the Xbox but that did little to help it), was announced as a Kickstarter project with a $2 million (€1.8 million) target.
At the time of writing, it has raised $1.91 million and has become one of the fastest games to raise $1 million.
The return of fan-favourite games is something Sony has experience with. At the same event last year, it announced the remake of Grim Fandango, a point and click style adventure released back in 1998, for PS4 first.
While Sony’s VR headset, Project Morpheus, made an appearance, details were thin on the ground.
The only major detail revealed was it won’t be a solo experience. Instead, several multiplayer titles for it are designed to be played with friends in the same room. As an example, One of the titles announced for it was RIGS, a team-based mech game designed to be played with friends.
Aside from nostalgia, the entirety of Sony’s E3 presentation was very much focused on games, both sequels and original IP. Such games included The Last Guardian, a game that was announced back in 2009 and is from the makers of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, and Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, where gameplay footage was demoed.
Other games covered included No Man’s Sky, Batman: Arkham Knight and Street Fighter V, while original titles like Firewatch, Dreams and Horizon: Zero Dawn were also announced.

Why would airlines operate flights at a loss and the airports get state aid? Surely the incentive should be to the airlines too?
@Peter O Donnell: You’d think that logically. If the airlines had an incentive to fly then the airports wouldn’t need funding…. More logical decision making made here by Eamonn Ryan. Better than nothing I guess though.
@Peter O Donnell: Simple. Planes lose more money not flying than flying….
What pandemic.? Surely a pandemic suggests a massive rise in mortality rates.? So far in 2020 the monthly mortality rates compared to the same month of the 5 previous years, with the exception of April when our government threw the elderly to the wolves is lower.
@John Brendan Mullen: boring!
@John Brendan Mullen: thanks doctor.
@John Brendan Mullen: oh and check the news before you post. Italy records its highest daily deaths since April.
@Wreck Tangle: you define pandemic for us all please. I’m curious about your definition.
@Paul Furey: as opposed to what .? Summer months always have lower mortality rates than winter.
@Paul Furey: ye don’t have to be a doctor to know that “pandemic” is accompanied by a massive spike in mortality rates. That’s not the case in 2020. Ireland actually has lower monthly mortality rates compared to the same month of the previous 5 years. Panicdemic more like
@Paul Furey: duh.
@Wreck Tangle: yeah, you wouldn’t want anything as boring as the truth get in the way of a good story.
@John Brendan Mullen: “A pandemic (from Greek πᾶν, pan, “all” and δῆμος, demos, “people”) is an epidemic of an infectious disease that has spread across a large region, for instance multiple continents or worldwide, affecting a substantial number of people. ” (…..hint….worldwide….)
@John Brendan Mullen: the lockdown worked and sheltered people like yourself from reality.
@John Brendan Mullen:
Why are the comments closed on the Healy Rea/deleany story. Surely can’t be for legal reasons
@ChuckE: you know why!!! Just think how many comments they would have to delete.
They would be better off building housing and looking after people with that money were is all the profit airlines have made over the years
@Pauline Cahill: you’re ok with the airlines folding, reducing in size and jobs being lost?
@Pauline Cahill: where are all the profits that pubs and other businesses have made over the years gone? The exact same place as airlines profits due to govt restrictions.
@Pauline Cahill: shareholders dividends
Wonder what Shannon will get as they have been ran into the ground by all governments..
Pity as with The present one and the Greens the traffic and the congestion etc to use Dublin is a bug of mine let alone the cost of Aviation Fuel to fly over Shannon personally does not make sense forgetting the passengers are from the whole country not just Dublin ..
@Sportmad: Airlines determine the routes they fly based on where the market is and where they can make money. Shannon cost Aer Lingus a fortune with their Boeing 707s and 747s from the 60s to the 80s. The fleet had double the amount of take off and landing cycles as their peers and with a full base due to the enforced Shannon Stopover. Madness! And who remembers being stuck in Shannon Airport at 4am for 90 mins while trying to get back to Dublin from the US. Having said all of this what could the government do for Shannon that would not cost the state a fortune and would benefit the country.
@Paul Furey: fair points but the fact remains that Dublin and Cork has been given a big advantage by Government in the funding it receives and as all are owned by the Government why is there a seperate Authority for Shannon..
Dublin and cork nearly 1bn in revenue 2019 and with snn just 24 m
There is a massive disparity in that
counties outside the pale and rebel county a fair share and then see
We have to travel to and from Dublin from west and its much easier now not 4hrs but yes 2hrs have you ever stayed outside dublin or used tge region’s airports doubt it.. but yet we must go to Dublin i have used ever Airport in this country and region ones best..
Dublin is a nightmare
Give the cash to not just snn but kerry and Galway the others are ok with those profits others not..
Rant over
What about all the profits and grants the DAA received over the years. What about DAA staff who took pay cuts? The media should look into ERIC and see how the DAA broke it’s promise to staff regarding it.
Chicken feed to be fair.
If I had a choice support our airports or the media I would back our airport’s
So about the same price as a prawn sandwich and a Coke.
have your say
