Square Enix Teases Final Fantasy 7 Remake Again

Many Final Fantasy fans will argue that the seventh entry in the long-running franchise is without a doubt the best one. Now, Square Enix works on Final Fantasy 7 Remake, and the company released another teaser about it.

The original FFVII was released in 1997 for the original PlayStation, and it became a quick hit among the PS community. A major promotional campaign and excellent production values attracted near-universal praise from critics and players alike. Several publications awarded a large number of prizes to the game, which is also counted as one of the most influential and important video games of all times.

Square Enix teased a full remake of the title at E3 2015. The announcement was well-received by the community, and many looked forward to the release of Final Fantasy 7 Remake. The task was being handled by a third-party developer called CyberConnect 2, which published many PlayStation games, including licensed Naruto titles.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake, teased again by Square Enix

The studio ran into some development problems, and Sony decided to move the project in-house. The decision was based on the need to maintain high production and quality standards correlated with a reliable schedule. After the move was announced, a period of silence began. Some sources claimed Square Enix might cancel the game while others said that an extended development period should be expected for such a large-scale initiative.

The demand for a remake grew exponentially in 2005 when a tech demo which featured the opening segment of the game was showcased on a PlayStation 3 during the E3 convention. At that point Square Enix staff appeared to be against the idea of developing a remake, offering several reasons, including the wish to create new titles, the difficulties posed by a port and an extended development schedule. While the game offered a rich story, it is known that new content will be featured in the sequel.

A new cinematic trailer on Final Fantasy 7 Remake was released by Square Enix, featuring several iconic scenes. An official release date wasn’t announced. Game director Tetsuya Nomura noted that more information would be released in June.

The Last Of Us 2: Joel Might Become A Playable Character, A New Video Suggests

The Last Of Us 2 has been worked on and will soon be ready to launch, the Naughty Dog developing the upcoming series even though the grand finale of the first game was pretty decisive. However, fans of the game are not upset with the new next edition, but the contrary. Now, a video suggests that Joel will become a playable character in The Last Of Us 2

According to Gustavo Santaolalla, the game’s creator, the upcoming series will be launched sometime in 2019, but the game studio hasn’t released any confirmation yet. Besides the release date, another essential question players have regarding The Last Of Us 2 is whether Joel can be played or not.

The Last Of Us part 2 is the PlayStation 4’s most expected elite title, and there are, indeed, a multitude of motives to wish the game will be released in 2019. Director Neil Druckmann said in a recent statement that Laura Bailey’s act aided in exciting life to one of his preferred characters. Also, an intimate scene with Ellie and Joel, portrayed by Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker was just recently recorded.

Joel might be a playable character in The Last Of Us 2

A video which suggests that Joel will be playable has made the rounds of the internet, and it completes the limitless range of hypotheses​ regarding Naughty Dog’s much-awaited continuation of series. However, The Last Of Us 2 was unveiled at the PlayStation Experience annual event in 2016, and the studio’s director, Neil Druckmann repeated in 2018 the fact that Ellie is the only playable character in the new game series.

Sony had also unveiled an impressive demo of The Last Of Us 2 at the E3 back in 2018, and it seemed to be with a considerable measure more stunning than its first edition. Even if the game is until now only going to offer Ellie as the playable character, fans are still waiting for news regarding Joel’s position in the game.

A video released by Naughty Dog in March on International Women’s Day seems to disclose the fact that Joel will indeed be playable but only for a short period, according to YouTuber Tajae. The uploaded clip also revealed the series’ weapon upgrades UI. However, because the video isn’t clear enough, the idea of Joel having a part in the game should not be taken as evidence until officially confirmed.

Former The Last of Us Part II Game Designer Joins Microsoft’s Game Studio The Initiative

When the Studio Head of Game Studio The Initiative announced that developers like Brian Westergaard, Annie Lohr, Blake Fischer, Drew Murray (Insomniac), Christian Cantamessa (Red Dead Redemption designer), Tom Shephard (GTA V developer), and Lindsey McQueeney were joining their ranks, we could only think of one fact: a great game will come to Xbox sooner or later.

Last year, Microsoft founded The Initiative to build quality games that will be exclusive – think of Uncharted and God of War. Now looking at the lineup above, these developers have the resources to make it possible, considering they worked on triple-A games before.

Robert Ryan Joins The Initiative Team

Now another leader has been added to The Initiative, and it’s none other than Robert Ryan, former Naughty Dog, and The Motive Game Designer.

The news surfaced thanks to a post by Twitter user “Klobrille,” who wrote:

Another great talent for XGS. Former Naughty Dog and The Motive Game Designer Robert Ryan joined The Initiative as a Senior Systems Designer.

He added a screenshot of Ryan’s LinkedIn profile which shows that he is now the Senior Systems Designer at The Initiative.

Why is everyone hyped about Robert Ryan joining Microsoft’s first-party game studio? Well, he was behind games like The Last of Us: Part II, Uncharted 4, Uncharted 3, and The Last of Us.

It seems that The Initiative is looking for experienced people and we really hope to see what they’ve been working on so far. Maybe we will see some of it at E3 2019, although it would be a little too soon.

Nonetheless, Gallagher recently added that The Initiative would experiment with different games, so they’re “staying small” and “staying agile.”

One thing is true: The Initiative has a team that could easily compete with Rockstar Games or other devs like CD Projekt Red. Whatever The Initiative team is working on, we expect to see it in the next few years, and it better be breathtaking!

Samsung Galaxy S11 Might Come As A Full-Screen Smartphone

What about a full-screen phone?

For those of you who are waiting for a full-screen phone, this may happen faster than you think, as Samsung worked his way towards this goal.

The news comes from South Korea, as media sources reported that Samsung is developing what they proclaim to be a “perfect full screen “.  As cited by MyDrivers, the front camera would be masked into the screen, remaining hidden until taking a photo. This is not the first time that a feature is part of the display, as this was the case for the GalaxyS10’s fingerprint sensor.

This is not the first attempt, made by Samsung, regarding a full-screen smartphone. They tried this before with the Galaxy S10 lineup of devices, which housed the front-facing camera in almost indistinguishable holes placed on the device’s screen.

Of course, there are other companies trying to get an advantage in the smartphones market. One of them, called OnePlus 7 Pro, will offer the customers a pop-up font-camera to maintain the full-screen appearance. This represents a different strategy from Samsung, as they have been able to avoid characteristics that would compromise the full-screen design.

Sources from inside the company stated that the camera’s lenses will be inside the screen. With the purpose of creating the first full-screen smartphone, Samsung will have to use all the experience gained from the process of integrating the fingerprint sensor into the screen of Galaxy S10.

Despite the announcement, Samsung is taking the time with this technology. Best case scenario, this feature will be available with the next Galaxy S11. It may suffer a delay if the company doesn’t get the expected outcome.
