I just read Luke Kemp’s
article about how he
thinks games are more
relatable to the wealthy,
how he couldn’t relate to
Lara Croft because his
bedroom was the size of
her wardrobe. I’ve never
compared myself to game
characters or situations
but now I think about
it, I don’t think I’ve ever
played a game and felt
like I could relate to it. It
would be good to see a
game tackle something
like this and interesting to
see their take on lower-
class living and how they
could create something
entertaining out of it.
And with regards to
buying a new console, ittook me two years and a
Black Friday sale to get
the PS4 and it may be a
similar situation for the
PS5. So shout out to Luke.
Dan P via emailWe gave Luke something
more relatable this issue- flick to p96 to see if he
enjoyed the daily grind
in Mosaic any better
than slipping into Lara’s
posh-girl short-shorts.
Next-gen’s backwards
compatibility should
mean PS4 will run in
parallel with PS5 for a
while, we won’t need to
switch immediately. On

Just read your piece
about PS5 in issue 172.
What struck a chord with
me was the potential
backward compatibility of
PS1 and PS2 titles and
while nothing is known,
the only down side I can
see to this is that if it
does allow us to use
our discs that we have
lovingly collected over
the years, then we’re
more than likely going
to fall foul of the region-
locking that was on
original PlayStation and
PlayStation 2 consoles –
would Sony build that in
after all this time? Or, do
you think Sony would be
more like ‘nah, what’s
the point’?
Rich Lenton via emailWe’d be surprised if
there’s a region lock- PS5 is the future of
PlayStation, not the past,
and region locks are
definitely relics!

So Final Fantasy VII day is almost
upon us. There’s been something very
special about the wait for this one.
It’s prompted some very emotional
reactions from people – more so than
the usual excitement for something new
or the nostalgia of an old classic.
It’s been so great to see the gaming
community brought together with
genuine love for the game and it’s
characters. I can’t think of another
game that could get this kind of
response. For a lot of us it was the
first time we realised what games as a
medium could be. The first time we got
attached to a story and its characters.And it’s still one of the few game
soundtracks that gives me goosebumps.
I hope it makes the same impact on
the new audience as the original did
on so many of us, and continues to
bring people together at a time when
it’s so easy to be critical and cynical
about things.
Pete Wisdom via emailFrom what we’ve seen so far, FFVII
looks like bringing us all together –
newcomers will get caught up in the
story like fans did years ago, and
the fans will love the extra depth
and amazing graphics. We’re looking
forward to launch day too.IT’S BEEN SO GREAT TO SEE
THE GAMING COMMUNITY
BROUGHT TOGETHER.
