Tales Of Zestiria

Even though most high profile video games coming this year will be released on new consoles, there are still some interesting games releasing on PlayStation 3 such as the role playing game from Bandai Namco called Tales of Zestiria.

Tales of Zestiria is the latest entry of the Tales of series and has been released in Japan back in January. Back when the game was announced, Bandai Namco confirmed that it was going to be released in North America and Europe not too long after the Japanese launch. With Tales of Xillia, Tales of Xillia 2 and Tales of Hearts R taking well over one year to get released in the West, this was a rather welcome announcement for all North American and European fans of the series.

Localization of the game has already started not too long ago but we have seen very little of the English version of the game, aside from a trailer introducing characters and story. Thankfully, a brand new gameplay video has surfaced online in the past few hours, showcasing the English version of the game which was available in playable form during the MCM London Comic Con 2015 this weekend. You can check out the video by going at the end of this post.

Tales of Zestiria comes with plenty of new features not found in the previous entries of the series which make the game feel quite different from its predecessors. Not only the game features bigger and more open fields but also a new battle system where players fight enemies right where they are encountered. These new gameplay systems make the fame fell fresh and quite engaging, despite some technical shortcomings and frame rate issues.

Tales of Zestiria is now available in Japan on PlayStation 3. The game will be released this Fall in North America and Europe. According to rumors, Tales of Zestiria will also be released on PlayStation 4 and PC but these versions of the game have yet to be confirmed officially.

While Sony may not classify Gran Turismo 7 as a live-service game, the team at Polyphony Digital certainly approaches it with a similar mindset. The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.

This author has consistently praised the realistic portrayal of tennis in TopSpin 4. After more than a decade, we are thrilled to witness the release of TopSpin 2K25, which expands upon the success of its renowned predecessor. This gameplay video provides a comprehensive overview of the features discussed in our recent preview while also incorporating relevant footage to enhance understanding.

The series’ swing system sets it apart from arcade-style games like Virtua Tennis, as it requires players to charge up their shots in a different way. In order to succeed, timing is crucial, and fortunately, a new meter above your player will assist you in achieving that. Surfaces have their own distinct characteristics, such as clay, where you’ll experience a noticeable amount of sliding.

The game ensures that every player has a distinct set of animations, adding a touch of individuality to each competitor. The courts, found in all Grand Slams, possess a remarkable amount of individuality and charm. It is mentioned in the video that with each in-game season, players can expect a plethora of additional content, such as animation packs. This indicates that there will be plenty to anticipate even after the game’s initial release.
