Great news for fans of Final Fantasy X. Square Enix has just announced that Final Fantasy X will be getting an HD re-release in celebration of the game’s 10th anniversary. Personally, I rather see a remake of Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VIII for the PS3 and PlayStation Vita in HD, but this is good news nonetheless.
Sony have confirmed that you can use the PlayStation Vita as a PlayStation 3 controller, effectively offering up similar gameplay possibilities as Nintendo’s Wii U. There are severa possibilities on how the PSVita can be used alongside the PS3. Examples include using the PSVita as a secondary display or as an additional game controller, making use of the touch functionality.
The upcoming Assassin’s Creed games for the PSP and PlayStation 3 will be interconnectable, allowing certain unlockables to be transferred between the two different games. This includes currency conversion between the PSP and PS3 versions and health upgrades from the PS3 to PSP versions (details below). The PSP-3000 will be bundled with Assassin’s Creed Bloodlines and will be available to purchase from November 17th. The bundle will also come with a 2GB Memory Stick Duo and a download voucher for the movie “Angels and Demons”.
Final Fantasy fans will be happy to know that Final Fantasy VII is heading to the PlayStation Network. According to the ESRB website, Final Fantasy VII is now listed for the PlayStation 3 and PSP along with several other titles, including Spec Ops: Airborne Commando, XS Junior League Soccer, Ford Racing, Dead in the Water, Contra Legacy of War, and Mobile Light Force. Sony has yet to make a official announcement about Final Fantasy VII as a PSOne classic but it’s already available to download in Japan for ¥1,500 or $14.93.
