Final Fantasy XV

Final Fantasy XV was one of the many high profile games that have been shown during Gamescom 2015 earlier this month. Unfortunately we haven’t heard anything truly new about the game, as Square Enix didn’t show anything really new on the game. Despite this we have learned its current development completion rate and that the game is not all that far from release.

Something new on Final Fantasy XV has emerged online today thanks to a new Gamescom 2015 interview with director Hajime Tabata posted on Spieletester. During the interview, Mr. Tabata has revealed some interesting new details on the game’s magic system.

According to the Final Fantasy XV director, magic will be activated by special rings the characters will be able to wear. Final Fantasy XV’s magic won’t come out directly from characters hands but it will be a manipulation of the elements in the environment. Magic in the game is also going to be divided into two different types, with one type being a special one that only those from the Lucis family can use. Finally, Mr. Tabata confirmed that magic is around 60% complete, as it is fully functional but it still leaves something to be desired in the visual department.

Earlier this month a few Final Fantasy XV screenshots have surfaced online. These three new screenshots showcase three locations that have never been seen before. As almost everything we have seen from the game has been taken from the Duscae area, these screenshots have been very welcome.

A few weeks ago the Final Fantasy XV Official Japanese website has received a major overhaul, including some new sections that have still to become operative. Hajime Tabata has confirmed during Gamescom that the forums section will be opened soon and that it will include both English and Japanese forums.

Final Fantasy XV is currently in development for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and it will be released on a yet to be confirmed date. We will keep you updated on the game’s release date as soon as possible so stay tuned for all the latest news on the latest entry of the successful role-playing game series published by Square Enix. If you want to get a taste of the Final Fantasy XV experience, you have the chance to do so by purchasing a launch copy of Final Fantasy Type-0 HD, which includes a code for the Final Fantasy XV: Episode Duscae demo.

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.
