Jagex, the British developers of veteran fantasy MMO RuneScape, have announced their acquisition by a potentially surprising new owner: the private equity firm best-known for owning major sports brands including Six Nations Rugby, Spanish football league LaLiga, French football governing body Ligue de Football and the Women’s Tennis Association.

If FF7 Remake is about saving the original from being an uncool ‘dad game’, what does that say about the modern day remake machine?
My excitement for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth went into overdrive this week. Not only did we get 20 more minutes of its gorgeous open worlds, mini-games and story nuggets to gawp over this week thanks to Sony’s dedicated State Of Play stream for it, but the internet has also been awash with previews, interviews and all sorts of other Final Fantasy-shaped goodies. Honestly, it’s like a second Christmas for me over here at the moment, it’s great.
But one thing that really stuck out to me this week was a comment made by series producer Yoshinori Kitase in an interview with our friends at Eurogamer. When they asked him why remake Final Fantasy 7 at all, his response hit me much harder than I was expecting. He said that the original FF7 is “probably going to be always that game my dad played, and I don’t want it to be that.” Aside from making me crumble to dust with irrelevancy, this really got me thinking about older games, the way we play them now, and just what role remakes and remasters have in today’s PC gaming landscape. So come and feel incredibly old with me as I try and get my (very jumbled and loosely-related) thoughts in order.

What’s better: instant-death bottomless pits, or being able to reroll your build?
Last week, you decided by 60% to 40% that vampires are better than werewolves. I trust we will never hear of this again. Alas, I must respond to serious allegations. RPS reader Truffles commented, “This is an absurd comparison, I thought this was meant to be scientific! How are we meant to decide between two completely unrelated things?” You’re right. I’m sorry. I’m failing you all. “I hope next time we’re back to proper sensible comparisons,” Truffles added, “like instant-death bottomless pits vs. being able to reroll your build.” Alright, let’s find out. What’s better: instant-death bottomless pits, or being able to reroll your build?
