After undergoing several changes since the base game’s PS3 release, the remake now includes new conversations between the game’s characters, an entirely new ending and the new “Remake System,” which allows players to make changes to the game itself with certain in-game plans.Hyperdimension Neptunia ReBirth 1 also breaks the fourth wall, as it is set in the fictional Gameindustri, wherein players can unlock new abilities by burning games onto blank discs. Essentially, the storyline parodies last generation’s “console war” between the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii.Mike Mahardy is a freelance writer for IGN. He also plays Civ V way too much.
