Witcher 3, final fantasy 6 and 7. Chrono trigger, secret of Mana, resident evil 2 and 4, tomb raider 2 and 3, super Mario 64, Zelda a Link to the past (SNES one I think)
Raising the price right before a sale is a downright scumbag move. Developers have done this before. Really, steam should pause price changes a week before sales go up
I think the problem with VR is a large portion of the population wants to see standard games "magicified" by VR instead of titles built around its strengths and that sidestep its weaknesses. So when they see less traditional games they scoff instead of seeing it as a new way to game.
I thought the VR showing was great, and exactly what we need: more mainstream devs making marketable games built around the tech. No megatons. Nothing that blew my socks off. But I think early adopters will be happy with what is available
I agree that this is the common misconception of VR. If it doesn't enhance existing games people can't wrap their heads around it, but what I've said on here over and over is that whether VR succeeds will be dependent on the new games that are made specifically (or exclusively) for that medium. People hated on mobile and portable when all they were trying to do was emulate console/PC gaming and shoehorn them onto PSP or touch controls. Mobile really took off when they started making games that work to the advantage of mobile/touch control.
Still, I didn't spend a lot of time this year speculating (or reading into the speculation) as to what was going to be at E3 but I was pleasantly surprised by all the VR news. It was a lot more than I expected, although a fair chunk of that was thanks to Sony which isn't necessarily a bad thing for mainstream VR acceptance.

So does that mean we'll pretty much be seeing only first person games?
Think it still has the biggest cast of any mainstream FF game to date. Wish they could go back to those... but all these AAA games like to focus on the cinematic presentation
