Final Fantasy

Yesterday has been a great day for Final Fantasy fans all over the world. The long awaited remake of the seventh entry of the series has finally been announced during the Sony E3 2015 press conference with a new exciting trailer. With all the excitement surrounding the trailer, it’s not surprising to see how many haven’t noticed a really interesting Easter Egg included in the video that seems to hint towards more exciting announcements.

In the Final Fantasy VII remake announcement trailer, a huge advertising can be seen at around the 0:20 mark to the right. The advertising features a young woman that looks like one of the main characters of a classic Square Enix series: Aya Brea from the Parasite Eve series. This could very well mean that Square Enix is working on a new entry of the series which may get announced during the Square Enix E3 2015 press conference.

The Parasite Eve series is one of the Square Enix franchises which hasn’t received much love from the company in recent times. The first entry of the series has been originally released on the original PlayStation back on 1998 and featured a unique gameplay experience, combining features from survival horror games and role playing games. Its sequel, also released on the original PlayStation, features a real time action battle system not governed by the ATB bar of its predecessor and a few other gameplay changes. The latest entry of the series is The Third Birthday, released a few years ago on PSP, a game that wasn’t exactly well received by fans of the series due to the main character being quite different from the Aya Brea featured in the first two entries of the series.

If a new Parasite Eve game is indeed in development, we will probably hear more about the matter very soon during the Square Enix E3 2015 press conference. We will keep you updated on the matter as soon as possible so stay tuned for all the latest news.

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.

If you’re not already acquainted with Highspeed Étoile, you can watch a trailer right here. “Sony has announced that a collection of 26 stickers, consisting of 8 title logos and 18 main character stickers, will be made available for a limited time,” stated Sony on the PS Blog.

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.
