E3 Targate Square Enix! Tutte le novità dell’E3 targate Square Enix! Tra alti (pochi) e bassi (molti), ecco tutto ciò che abbiamo visto nell’evento SQUARE ENIX PRESENTS Durante l’evento digitale SQUARE ENIX PRESENTS, SQUARE ENIX ha mostrato alcuni titoli che sicuramente faranno parlare di sé, ecco un recap generale. Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Eidos-Montréal ha svelato l’uscita di Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, uno sfrontato gioco d’azione in terza persona dalla forte componente narrativa, che combina una storia originale ed elettrizzanti meccaniche di gioco per giocatore singolo. Sviluppato da Eidos-Montréal in collaborazione con Marvel Entertainment, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy sarà pubblicato contemporaneamente per PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC e in streaming con GeForce NOW il 26 ottobre 2021. Attiva gli stivali-razzo di Star-Lord per una folle corsa nel cosmo con una nuova avventura di Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. Insieme agli imprevedibili Guardiani, affronta una situazione esplosiva dopo l’altra, con personaggi originali e vecchie conoscenze Marvel in lotta per il destino dell’universo. Puoi farcela. Forse. David Anfossi, Head of Studio presso Eidos-Montréal, ha dichiarato: “Il team di Eidos-Montréal è onorato di poter lavorare a una serie tanto famosa insieme ai fidati colleghi di Marvel Entertainment. I nostri team sono noti per rivisitare proprietà intellettuali con un tocco originale alle storie e alla direzione artistica. Come scoprirai, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy non fa eccezione.” Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy è stato realizzato dal team di esperti di Eidos-Montréal, in collaborazione con Marvel Entertainment per garantire un’esperienza originale e autentica ispirata a oltre 50 anni di tradizione dei Guardiani della Galassia. Ispirata ai fumetti, quest’interpretazione unica dei Guardiani della Galassia farà vivere ai giocatori un viaggio turbolento tra le stelle, durante il quale Peter Quill e i Guardiani diventeranno inconsapevolmente la prima e unica linea di difesa della Galassia. Tutte le novità dell’E3 targate Square Enix! Jay Ong, EVP e Head of Marvel Games, ha detto: “Alla base della serie dei Guardiani c’è una combinazione unica di fantascienza, drammi familiari e stile rock’n’roll dall’estetica audace. Siamo entusiasti di collaborare con Eidos- Montréal e sappiamo che questo team porterà l’impresa al successo. In Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, il team mette in scena una visione unica della nostra amata banda di disadattati. Non vediamo l’ora che i nostri fan la scoprano a ottobre.” Padroneggia lo stile di combattimento dinamico di Star-Lord per eliminare i nemici con le pistole elementali e sfrutta le abilità uniche di ogni Guardiano per sconfiggere una vasta gamma di nemici interplanetari. Inoltre, nei panni dell’autoproclamato leader dei Guardiani della Galassia, i giocatori si troveranno di fronte a dialoghi e interazioni a scelta multipla tra Quill e i Guardiani, che rafforzeranno i legami di questa famiglia disfunzionale. Infine, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy non sarebbe completo senza una colonna sonora che spacca con cui scatenarsi sfrecciando nello spazio a bordo della Milano. Nel gioco ci sono innumerevoli classici degli anni ’80 accanto a brani originali. Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy sarà disponibile per PlayStation®5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC e in streaming con GeForce NOW il 26 ottobre 2021. Sono aperti i pre-order per le edizioni Standard e Deluxe.

Life is Strange: True Colors I fan di Life is Strange di tutto il mondo hanno potuto vedere un approfondimento del potere sovrannaturale che potranno controllare nel prossimo capitolo della serie pluripremiata: Life is Strange: True Colors. Questi dettagli sono stati condivisi durante l’evento SQUARE ENIX PRESENTS, Tutte le novità dell’E3 targate Square Enix! trasmesso durante l’E3 2021. Sviluppato da Deck Nine Games, lo studio che ha creato Life is Strange: Before the Storm, in collaborazione con Square Enix External Studios, Life is Strange: True Colors ha una nuova protagonista, Alex Chen, che dovrà usare il suo potere sovrannaturale dell’empatia per risolvere un mistero che le farà dubitare di chiunque e di qualunque cosa conosca della piccola cittadina di Haven Springs. A marzo è stato rivelato l’ultimo capitolo della serie Life is Strange, ovvero Life is Strange: True Colors, un thriller sovrannaturale ambientato in una piccola cittadina. Interpretata dall’attrice Erika Mori, grazie alla cattura dei movimenti integrale, questa volta sarà la giovane Alex Chen a portarci in giro per Haven Springs. Alex nasconde da anni la sua maledizione: ovvero l’abilità di percepire, assorbire e condizionare le emozioni più intense delle altre persone, che lei vede come delle aure colorate. Dopo la morte di suo fratello per un incidente sospetto, Alex deve imparare a controllare il suo potere instabile per scoprire la verità e gli oscuri segreti di una piccola cittadina. Il viaggio, il potere e il futuro di Alex Chen sono nelle mani dei giocatori. La presentazione ha svelato ulteriori dettagli sulla grafica, il gameplay e l’impatto narrativo dell’empatia di Alex, un elemento importante per prendere decisioni e interagire con gli abitanti di Haven Springs. I giocatori dovranno usare questo potere sia durante l’esplorazione che in momenti importanti della storia in cui dovranno prendere delle decisioni difficili che possono essere risolte solo grazie all’empatia sovrannaturale di Alex. Questo potere dell’empatia influenza ogni interazione e relazione di Alex nel gioco, ed è completamente nelle mani dei giocatori. Usalo per rivelare i segreti di Haven Springs, le sfaccettature del passato di Alex e il futuro del suo viaggio alla ricerca di un luogo da chiamare casa. È ora possibile prenotare Life is Strange: True Colors. I dettagli completi di ciascuna edizione sono disponibili su lifeisstrange.com.

Tutte le novità dell’E3 targate Square Enix! Tetsuya Nomura, creative producer di STRANGER OF PARADISE FINAL FANTASY ORIGIN, ha dichiarato: “Anche se si tratta di un FINAL FANTASY, sembra diverso… ma nelle sue vene scorre comunque il sangue di FINAL FANTASY. Ci siamo imbarcati nella sfida di trovare un equilibrio per questo titolo maturo ed elegante allo stesso tempo. Ci vorrà ancora un pochino per finirlo, e, anche se il sistema di combattimento è piuttosto violento, si ricollega alla storia, quindi spero che approfitterete di quest’occasione per provarlo.” Fumihiko Yasuda, director di Team NINJA di KOEI TECMO GAMES, ha affermato: “Sono davvero felice di poter lavorare a un nuovo FINAL FANTASY, e soprattutto a un titolo connesso alle sue origini.

  • The Story of Final Fantasy VII and How Squaresoft
    STS145 History of Computer Game Design, Final Paper, Winter 2001 Gek Siong Low Coming to America The making of Final Fantasy VII and how Squaresoft conquered the RPG market Gek Siong Low [email protected] Disclaimer: I have tried my best to find sources that are as reliable as possible (press releases, interviews in published magazines, etc) but many times I had to depend on third-party accounts of what happened. Some of these accounts conflict with one another, so I try to present as coherent an account of the history as I can here. I do not claim that everything in this paper is true. With that in mind, let us proceed on with the story… Introduction “[Final Fantasy VII is]…quite possibly the greatest game ever made.” -- GameFan magazine, quote on back of Final Fantasy VII CD case (Greatest Hits edition) The story of Squaresoft’s success in the US video games market appears at first glance to be like a fairy tale. Before Final Fantasy VII, console-based role-playing games (RPGs) were still a niche market, played only by a dedicated few who were willing to endure the long wait for the few games to cross the Pacific and onto American soil. Then came Final Fantasy VII in the September of 1997, wowing everybody with its amazing graphics, story and gameplay. The game single-handedly lifted console-based RPGs out of their little niche into the mainstream, selling millions of copies worldwide, and made Squaresoft a household name in video games. Final Fantasy VII CD cover art Today console-based RPGs are a major industry, with players spoilt-for- choice on which RPG to buy every Christmas.

  • Restaurang Serverar Mat Från Ikoniskt Tv-Spel Final Fantasy XV-Menyn
    Pressmeddelande 2016-11-25 Restaurang serverar mat från ikoniskt tv-spel Final Fantasy XV-menyn I samband med att det kultiga tv-spelet Final Fantasy släpps i en ny version den 29 november, serverar restaurang Magnolia i Stockholm maträtter som är baserade på vad karaktärerna äter i spelet. I den femtonde upplagan av det ikoniska spelet har maten en stor roll i uppdraget att återta det förlorade landet. I Final Fantasy XV spelar maten en väsentlig roll i handlingen och är högst central för att komma vidare i spelet. Tillsammans med speltillverkaren Square Enix har restaurang Magnolia gjort verklighet av det som hittills bara varit en virtuell fantasi. – Att få vara med och ta fram mat från ett tv-spel känns surrealistiskt. Nya utmaningar är något vi alltid söker och tack vare matens centrala roll i spelet blev vi väldigt inspirerade till att göra rätterna i verkligheten. Det är också fantastiskt hur bra detaljåtergivningen inom spelindustrin har blivit, säger Per Backström, krögare restaurang Magnolia. För dig som vill äta tv-spelsmat serveras tre stycken rätter från spelet på restaurang Magnolia den 26 till 28 november. På menyn finns Salmon Skewers, White Stew Vegan Mushroom Soup samt Chicken With White Sauce. Samtliga rätter serveras med ris och kostar 95 kr. Alla får dessutom exklusiva Final Fantasy-popcorn.
