Final Fantasy VII Remake Review – A New Midgar

Image
cre: Final Fantasy VII Remake Review – A New Midgar Final Fantasy VII Remake on PlayStation 4 I sometimes wonder if Square Enix regrets that tech demo from 2005 which teased fans with the potential of a Final Fantasy VII Remake. The demo was just meant to show off the power of the Crystal Tools Engine but instead it created a movement that would not be stopped. Fans of the classic PS1 RPG got a taste of what a remake could be like, and now the rest is history. The Final Fantasy VII Remake is fully operational and the masses will have their chance to play it this week. I imagine in that moment and in the years that followed there was some regret on Square Enix’s end; but that tech demo is what started all this, and if the decade plus of fan requests is what was needed to make Final Fantasy VII Remake happen, then there’s nothing for them to be regretful about anymore. The game is an absolute masterpiece and has kicked off a franchise that will be the center of the JRPG world for ...

For All Mankind season 2 shows how much prestige drama TV is changing

Image
cre: For All Mankind season 2 shows how much prestige drama TV is changing Prestige dramas have largely followed two parallel paths over the past 20 years. On one track, shows grounded in realism but with a bit of lofty escapism through their subject matter, which focus on the personal and intense professional lives of doctors, lawyers and political operatives. The other track grabbed viewers with a big-budget spectacle, pushing sci-fi, fantasy, and horror into the mainstream with stories driven by bloody action and dramatic twists. These archetypes intersect in For all mankind , which launched its 10-episode second season on Apple TV Plus on February 19. Although the show may appeal to audiences with its alternate history sci-fi premise – a world in which the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union never ended – its tone and its themes bring it closer to The west wing than The Man in the High Castle . Season 1 of For all mankind began its history in 1969, with...

Addressing specific issues that can cause crashes or other issues, the patch actually gives us notes on what has been fixed. A bug involved throwing a Pokeball containing a Pokémon while trying to pick up a lost satchel: which could freeze the game. Another bug “made it difficult to catch a Cherrim” under certain conditions. Another was a crashing issue, which was not developed.

cre: How Much Should The PS4K Neo and Nintendo NX Cost? A unexpectedly, this has proven to be an exciting year for the industry when it comes to hardware launches – although the last big slew of console and handheld launches were less than three years ago , it looks like we’re already gearing up for some major new hardware launches this year. This includes the three new VR headsets that launched this year, of course – the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and PlayStation VR are all major new gaming platforms for the industry that have launched or will be launched. in 2016 – but it looks like we’re also getting new consoles This year. One of them, at the very least, was expected – Nintendo’s NX, which should be the successor to the disappointing Wii U, has long been marked as a 2016 launch. However, what was unexpected were these the rumbles of new hardware launches from Sony and Microsoft, both of which appear to be launching new PlayStation and Xbox systems.

Sonic Mania Plus Review – Gotta Go Faster

Image
cre: Sonic Mania Plus Review – Gotta Go Faster P before the release of Sonic Mania , things looked pretty tough for SEGA’s Blue Blur. That the best game of the modern era before this point was probably Sound Generations was a scathing indictment of a franchise that once stood shoulder to shoulder with Mario. Generations wasn’t a bad game. In fact, it’s pretty good. But pretty good it’s a tough fall from the Genesis days and the fact that the game was followed by Sonic: Lost World , Sonic forces and Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyrical didn’t give people much hope that SEGA had learned from what made Generations to work. Then Sonic Mania come. I had the chance to review the original game when it was released. Spoiler alert: it’s excellent and deserves both the fan and critical acclaim it’s been given since its launch. But Christian Whitehead, Headcannon and PagodaWest Games are apparently not happy with the excellent. They wanted something more. If the original version of Sonic Mania ...

Dear God, I’m losing weight with video games

cre: Dear God, I’m losing weight with video games As a garbage man, I have two specific trash conditions: first, I live an incredibly unhealthy lifestyle, and second, I punish myself for everything I’ve ever thought, done, and failed to do. Do you think you regret things now? I can’t forget the things I did as child . When I was seven, I stole a friend’s Nerf ball, wrote my name on it, and pretended it was mine. It still haunts me. So when the world decided to have an apocalypse, I decided to try something I had been telling myself for over a decade: cooking healthier food. It did not work. Turned out absolutely terrible, to be honest. It turns out that cooking requires patience, perseverance and following instructions. Nothing that I was ready to do within twenty to forty minutes. But what I was willing to do was strap my body to uncomfortable devices and exercise with video games. And the worst part is that it seems to work and it cuts me off from the enjoyment of all other ...

cre: Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin’s new trailer is brave enough to feature Frank Sinatra Stranger from Paradise Final Fantasy Origin is not a remake, nor a prequel to the original Final Fantasy , which celebrates its 35th anniversary later this year. Instead, the action ahead Final Fantasy spinoff is something of a take on the time-looped story of the classic role-playing game.

PlayStation VR, Killer Apps and Skepticism Over the Future

Image
cre: PlayStation VR, Killer Apps and Skepticism Over the Future O culus Rift and HTC Vive have been released, but the most interesting device is the one still months away from release. Of course, we’re referring to PlayStation VR (the title of the article should have been indication enough). At $399, this will be the most affordable VR headset of this generation and it’s amazing on its own. You’d think Sony could just take advantage of the success of its PlayStation 4, release an affordable VR solution, and call it a day. Despite its serious efforts with the PlayStation Eye and Move, both of these devices came out pretty much “phoneing in” a year after release. PlayStation VR seems to have a bigger plan. Although these two devices also have a plan and look how they appeared – as simple accessories to be used with the helmet. I digress however. “More than the price of PlayStation VR and more than the overall PlayStation 4 install base that will support it, the concern rests firmly ...
