E3 Day 2 (13.06) Square Enix and more

So before I start I warn that there is a lot of content. Not necessarily a lot of info so short info on a lot of different games.

This remains very interesting and I hope you will have something to stay with throughout the article! Good reading !

24 Entertainment - Naraka: Bladepoint:

Naraka, the game from studio 24 Entertainment is very promising. The game will be entitled to a global release on August 12 and a beta between June 16 and 22 on PC. It can be pre-ordered today. For the release, a new weapon that was not yet present will be entitled to its arrival, the spear. A new character is also born with the name of Yoto Hime.

This is a 60 player Battle Royal. You can move around in a magnificent setting, on foot or with your grapple. We fight in close combat or at least with period weapons, sword, bow or spear are the weapons used. The fights are super dynamic, the gameplay feels intuitive. The video is full of promise and makes you want to play ASAP. The game will cost € 49.99 (in the video it is noted in $)

Fun and rage will surely be the order of the day with this game!

Xbox and Bethesda

Probably the most anticipated time of day for most people. They will give us as much information as possible, for me, and a lot of work! Let's go!

Xbox is going to turn 20, to celebrate Bethesda and Xbox are going to present us their first baby in total collaboration and obviously this is a total exclusivity for the console.

Starfield will therefore see the light of day. In the 25 years that Bethesda has existed, their evolution has brought them to this game. We are entitled to stunning images of realism and beauty. A spaceship, we see the outside and then the inside. The details are crazy, the voice-over explains the importance we have and that our discoveries have. That was to say that we would have the answer to EVERYTHING. The game looks very elaborate and thoughtful. He promises to be a major Microsoft console dropout.

Stalker 2 Heart of Chernobyl

A shooter visibly set in the city of nuclear drama. The trailer is explosive and promises crazy action. You are entitled to paranormal events, mutants or monsters and "the area" which seems to be the most dangerous place. A man explains that he will defend "the zone" body and soul because it gave him or gave him life. He is therefore ready to sacrifice himself for her. To see but the game promises many exciting hours. The game will be released on Xbox and PC only (if I understood correctly at first. So it could be released on PS4 or 5 afterwards). The release is scheduled for 2022.

We have the right to a small presentation of Back4Blood. It will be released in the fall, the video doesn't feature anything that we haven't seen so far. We can therefore play in coop for up to 4 players, in PvP or PvE. The exact release date is October 12 and available on Game Pass from day one.

Contraband got a very short trailer with little info. Looks promising but we don't know more yet.

Sea of thieves

The super cool info of the evening, this game will be entitled to new features. As a fan of Pirates of the Carribean, we immediately recognize the voice of the famous pirate the iconic character: Jack Sparrow. Sadly we do not know that Johnny Depp himself is reprising his role which would have been great.

How not to introduce the coolest pirate of all in a game of… pirates. We will be entitled to other characters like Davy Jones for example. We cannot wait to see it and in view of what has been presented it fits perfectly.

Yakuza

The games of the main plot (4 games) will be available on Game Pass and we are entitled to a superb trailer to announce it to us. Full of humor and cult moments from the games.

Battlefield 2044

We are entitled to a pre-Alpha video. It shows the use of a grapple, various weapons and vehicles such as planes, tanks or helicopters. What we saw appeared to be PvP (which makes sense at the same time) and promises a lot of playtime to spend on it.

12 minutes

An interactive trhiller for which we received little information but which is very intriguing. The game will be released on August 19 and made its impact during the conference. So we understand that we will be on an investigation and it promises to be exciting.

Doom Eternal

On June 29, we will be able to enjoy the game on the new consoles for free if we have it on the previous generation.

Fallout 76: Steel Region

Extension in which the Brotherhood is the center of attention. It will be necessary to make the choice of duty or justice and decide the fate of the Brotherhood. In 2022, the Expeditions, The Pitt, will be released.

Elder Scrolls Online

Besides the fact that a new expansion has been released, there is the news that the game will be enhanced and available on new Xbox consoles.

Party Animals

The I will see the light of day in 2022. It seems cool and frustrating. The characters are like hard to handle soft toys, the mini-games or visible sequences are reminiscent of Mario Party games. Considering the name of the game, the party is important. So we will be treated to a crazy and fun game!

Hades

The bestselling Hack n 'Slash will be released on August 13 for Xbox consoles.

Somerville

The game that will be released in 2022 promises an intriguing journey. We can first see a family falling asleep in front of the TV. The father, mother, son and dog. We then see a man running to find his family or flee a threat, then we see him with his wife and child running for the same reasons. Between dream and reality one wonders what it is really about. We will know more in the coming months.

We then have the right to a video on the hit game Halo. Master Chief goes on a suicide mission. He is made to understand that he doesn't stand a chance, tells him that there always is. It moves weightlessly through debris and inanimate bodies. He then talks to an AI that isn't Cortana. He doesn't trust her. Cortana should have been erased entirely, but it didn't happen. This changes the mission of Master Chief.

We then see a sequence on the Multiplayer. This one will be free to play! The Halo Infinite Epic Campaign with Multiplayer is planned for release for the holiday season 2021.

Diablo II Resurrected

We already knew that the game was coming but we had the right to a sequence of the game to remind us of this sweet candy that will arrive on September 23.

A plague tale, Requiem

The sequence shown was full of stress and does not provide any additional answers that the game will be released sometime in 2022.

Slime Rancher 2

A vacuum gun, colorful little monsters / pudding and you who collect them. Released in 2022, nothing more to say.

Shredders

A new sliding game. A fun looking snowboarding game. It is slightly reminiscent of the glory of SSX without really doing the same. However the game appears to be well done and should be taken seriously. It should be released during the month of December of this year.

Atomic heart

A very eventful trailer with a song that takes you directly. We can see mutants, killer robots, the main character in the first person view was trying to take electronic and mechanical parts. The game is very intriguing, but we do not have even an approximate date for the release.

Replaced

A game with an assertive graphic style. 2D in pixel but with a lot of detail, so nothing gross. The game is slated for release in 2022. It appears to be an action platformer game. We fight with bare hands, bladed weapons or pistols of all kinds.

Grounded

The game where you are miniaturized, the survival game, the game in a garden, the game that deserves all the enthusiasm there is. An upcoming update titled The shroom and doom update arrives on 06/30. There will be a sizeable addition of content and promises a lot of overtime for players.

Among us

Coming soon. At 15 including 3 impostors, New colors, new tasks. That is all .

A humorous announcement was made regarding The Outer Worlds 2. Nothing is done except the title, that's what the voice-over says. And for many that's already enough.

Flight Simulator

This game is known by its numbers. Huge and ambitious, this game is very popular on PC. Well for Xbox lovers it will land on July 27 with an extension in the fall called Top Gun Maverick.

Forza Horizon 5

They hit hard with that one. The game promises so much fun and time to spend on it. It must also be said that the speakers showed a crazy enthusiasm for the game. Strong exclusivity, this game already keeps all its promises.

The sets taken from reality thanks to photos made in 12 K for the game, the cars as numerous as they are magnificent, the races created and so on. They have integrated a race in Battle Royal mode, mini-games like Pinata where you have to crush a maximum… of Pinatas. A large and beautifully made open world game. The fans will be delighted and those who have been waiting for a good opportunity I think this is it.

Of all the games presented during the conference (30) 90% of them are or will be available as soon as they are released on the Game Pass. This shows how important this subscription is to Xbox.

Redfall

A game with magic, with weapons, with co-op mode and vampires, which also do magic. It makes for a crazy, action-packed shooter. We recognize the co-op codes through this trailer and the design looks very good. We should be entitled to it for the summer of 2022.

Announcement we weren't expecting. Announcement that proves that at Xbox we have humor. A mini fridge will be released in the form of an Xbox Series X. This one can hold six or eight cans. It will go on sale for the 2021 holidays.

Let’s come to the Square Enix announcements.

Guardians of the Galaxy

Yes, you read that right. A new collaboration between the studio and Marvel. They've made a game that frankly looks a lot cooler than Avengers.

The character design is superb and contrasts a bit with what we know little about movies, while remaining in the same vein anyway. The same characters are naturally present, as far as the guardians go, that is obvious. We even had a nice moment of gameplay.

The game is beautiful, even fascinating, and the gameplay is well thought out. It's about being the leader of the group and making the right choices. We play Star-Lord only, the leader of the group. Through our choices we can see the reactions of each other. The choices you make directly affect the mood and future actions of your friends. We must therefore be careful not to submit to our own choices.

For combat, it's in total freedom and in groups. What is done well, we can command the other characters as if they were in fact attacks or magic spells that we cast. So it's intuitive and quick. We choose the character and his attack. And hop then we continue by guiding Star-Lord.

The game will already be released on October 26 for the Xbox and Playstation consoles.

Horrible moment for me because of a huge emotional lift. Final Fantasy I to VI are out on mobile and Steam. So initially I was happy, because we saw the logos of the different games, then their release on Steam and mobile devastated me. Because, for my part, that doesn't interest me at all. I remain hopeful they will be released on Switch.

Legend of Mana

The game will be entitled to release on June 24 on Switch, PS4 and Steam

Marvel avenger

The game will be entitled to new content. First and most important, War for Wakanda. Brand new missions, new locations, new hero with Black Panther and new villains. There will also be the replayable Random Boss and other new missions.

Hitman Sniper The Shadows

No info except a few small images and released in 2021 or nothing.

Nier Reincarnation and FF VII First Soldier on Mobile this year

Babylon's Fall

An action adventure (at first glance) possible co-op and fantasy world. Nervous and controlled fights. There will likely be different classes, weapons, armor, magic and so on. Specifically, this is a hack n slash action. The game looks genuinely interesting and promises to be fun both solo and with friends. The goal of the development team's studio is to continuously produce content after release to keep the game alive for as long as possible. To see if the promise can be kept. A closed-beta is open for registrations!

Life is strange Remastered

The game will be released on September 30. A godsend for those who haven't played it yet and who are intrigued.

Life is strange True color

A new adventure with Alex as the protagonist. Girl with the power of empathy. She feels exactly the emotions of those around her. She will have to face this situation and use it so that she can find out why and how her brother died. She will even be able to see the world according to the emotion of the person in front of her, which can even be dangerous for her own life. The game will be released on September 10 and we will be able to purchase a package with the first part which will then be available on September 30.

Stranger of Paradise: A Final Fantasy Story

The main protagonist just keeps repeating that he wants to eliminate Chaos (it sounds a bit like Final Fantasy I all of that). He describes it as insatiable hunger. Nervous just like the very bloody and violent combat mode. The Final Fantasy side will surely be found in the story and the cutscenes, but not in this character or the fights. Now we have to wait to know what the game will bring us.

We then have the right to a video presenting some games that have already been released or will be released in the future. A mishmash of sequences.

Warner Bros Games ’Back 4 Blood

The game has been shown several times and we are entitled to Swarm Mode. A mode in PvE. Once as humans but also as a mutant zombie. We can evolve zombies like humans by playing continuously. The game is released on October 12 this year, pre-orders are possible and a beta will take place from August 5. That happiness.

PC Gaming Show

Make way for one of the longest conferences. My recollection tells me that this is often the longest conference or one of E3. And this year is no different from what I remember.

We are entitled to Naraka Bladepoint again, but of course nothing different than earlier.

Dodgeball academia

Dodgeball is cool, video games are cool too. The mixture should at least be satisfactory. And in view of the video it is. We don't have a date but it should be out soon.

Rawmen

A wacky platform game where you are a chef who has to go through levels. We don't understand much but the game design and the seen mode look nice. To see in future news.

Dying Light 2

We are entitled to a little more of the story of the main character. We are not told how it is that he is so good at the course and strong to be able to survive so well, but we are given some answers anyway. You can just hear his voice explaining that he was undergoing clinical trials with his sister Mia. Then there was a major attack or concern and he was separated from her. As the game unfolds he learns that he might find her somehow. The game will be released on December 7 this year. Pre-orders are already possible.

Humankind

You create your civilization and you have to survive or expand your civilization. Beta available now by signing up on Twitch if I understand correctly.

Orcs must die 3

This is a tower defence game. The levels are relatively large, the enemies numerous. We are entitled to a multitude of traps, catapults and other weapons to defend ourselves. In addition, we are active as a hero because we can use turrets by ourselves or attack orcs directly. The game releases July 23 for consoles and Steam.

Vampire: The Masquerade

A young mother plays hide and seek with her daughter. Girl we don't see, then she comes back to (sad) reality. She searches for her daughter and finds herself in a sad and dangerous world. We are not entitled to more details although it appears that the woman is a vampire.

Gigabash

4-player fights in every man for himself mode. We embody giant fighters in the middle of cities or landscapes that undergo the combat of these titans. A release planned for PS4 and PC.

Lemnis Gate

Humanity is dying and we have to find a way to survive. Space could be a nice option. The real innovation is in the gameplay. This is a strategy-based, turn-based first-person shooter. Just that. Each round lasts 25 seconds during which we do what we want. An open Beta will take place in July and the game is released on August 3.

Next space rebels

You can build your own rocket from an ugly cardboard model to a near life-size rocket.

Wartales

You play as a group of mercenaries in a country ravaged by war and disease. Combat in tactical mode, a fantastic medieval story. The game will be released on Steam but without knowing the date at the moment.

Ixion

A long monologue by a man explaining that space can offer humans survival because planet earth no longer offers this option. An expedition is set up, at the end we notice an explosion in the sky and the moon is seriously damaged. Release scheduled for 2022.

FAR: Changing Tides

No game info. It just shows a kid on a makeshift boat. The graphics inspire poetry and appeasement. To see what the game will want to offer in the future.

Lakeburg legacy

Creating your own legend is the goal of this game. To have a completed family tree too. The links between the characters must therefore be managed by the player.

Killing floor

Another space shooter due to arrive in June. Unfortunately without further information.

Silt

A diver who can use fish to be able to move or unblock complex situations. A 2D graphic style reminiscent of the Tim Burton universe for my taste. A game that will be available on Steam but without a specific date for the moment.

Helllo neighbor 2

Nothing new from the first of the name if this is not the place where the game takes place.

Jurassik World Evolution 2

The voices of some film actors like Jeff Goldblum will be there, just that it's a pleasure. As for the game, the content will be much more complete than the first.

More dinosaurs, more options. The game will be released again in 2021, so it will be just a question of when exactly it is released.

Gabe Newell (CEO of Valve) took the floor to give news of the Steam platform. There will be the Steam Next Fest giving access via Steam to demos of games that will be released.

Soulstice

A game that should be released next year not before. Solo fights have been shown. What you can say is that it is nervous and bloody as a mode of combat.

A small Hardware point now with:

Impulse Neuro-Controller. A glove that senses movement and even anticipates your desire for movement so it can be even faster when it comes time to press the mouse.

CSL DD Wheel Base. A base to use for a racing wheel for car games. With this base we will have more realism.

Onexplayer. A portable video game console of very high quality and performance. No date or price revealed at the moment.

New Asus PG3 screen ... priced at 3000 € would be one of the most efficient if not the most efficient on the market.

In 2022 Warhammer's Chaos Gate will be released. Without more info or pictures.

Pioneer

A game that takes place in Russia, maybe even in Chernobyl. This is a shooter with monsters or mutants, threats of all kinds. The atmosphere you experience during the video freezes your blood.

EVE Online

Some info given on their Academy and different classes so to speak, like the Industrialist or Explorer.

Lumberhill

Cut trees then use the wood to create bridges or other infrastructure to move forward. Here is the pitch of the game. Funny graphics and the game seems dynamic.

A multitude of games are then presented. Various graphic genres but with a tendency for pixel art and 2D strangely. These games can be fun, but it doesn't look like there is much success waiting for them. We may be entitled to one or the other surprise, but no more.

The show therefore ends with some game cutscenes. Whether on PC or consoles, we notice that developers are working hard to stand out from the crowd and create crazy worlds for us.

We can expect more beautiful things in the months to come and even starting tomorrow with the 3rd day of E3 which I will be following for myself but also for you dear readers!

See you tomorrow !

Happy Birthday Final Fantasy I

Ah what a joy. Talking, writing, reading, watching or playing anything related to this franchise appeals to me enormously. I must also say that this is my second attempt to write this article. The first time I ended up writing 4 pages before touching on Final Fantasy number one. To be one hundred percent honest, I didn't at all, but at no time, say FF I except to say that I played it ...

So yes, this time must be the right one or I will start to doubt my ability to concentrate on one topic. So we're going to talk about this game, which I think is great. Obviously we have to take a lot of factors into account. First, the time when the game was released. The genre of this game, RPG obviously. The company that created the game. The circumstances in which this company was and ultimately what pushed to create this opus.

In short, we are not going to redo history otherwise I will end up making the whole history of the company without having talked about this game again. I get carried away so easily, it's crazy.

So what is this game going to be about? What can we expect? Quite simply to a magnificent story but where we quickly get to the heart of the matter. We are told only one thing, our destiny. Our characters (4) have no past history, at least we don't know it. We have to invent everything for them, their names and their classes. You can choose between warrior, monk, thief, black, white or red mage. For those unfamiliar with it, the warrior fights with sword and shield, the monk is bare-handed, the strongest physically and with the highest HP. The thief, well he's fast and his equipment isn't too expensive. The white mage heals, protects, and ensures that you survive. The Black Mage burns, freezes and electrifies your opponents, he can even spell alterations. The red mage is a mix between white and black. He is also physically strong and will therefore have the most versatility of any class.

The best thing is the classes evolve during the game. After a certain point in the story your characters get the evolved class of the one you chose. Thus the warrior becomes paladin, the monk becomes master, the thief becomes ninja and the various mages become sages. This allows each class to go even further in their basic characteristics. So you will have characters who are even stronger at what they can do and who will make you the player with the most powerful team in your world.

Now let's talk about the story. It's simple yet so well told, with great characters and amazing quests. The world is dying, devastating storms, marine cataclysms, nothing but misfortune. Nothing is going well, but the people are convinced that a prophecy will be fulfilled. That of Lukahn: “When darkness veils the world, four Warriors of Light shall come. "

So you play as these four warriors. The world turns thanks to the four crystals. The four crystals which hold the power of the elements, earth, fire, wind and water. You will therefore have to brave all dangers in order to be able to free the crystals from their corruption. Then the world can get better again and you can say that the prophecy was not just a legend.

However, it goes a little further than all that. The first dungeon you do will also be the last. During your quest you will realize that you will need to return to the place where you completed your first quest. This is where I got my big surprise. Speaking of my experience, I didn't pay attention to the alert. If you come in you can't get out anymore so you have to be damn prepared. Above all, be very well equipped, a lot of items to heal yourself and a white mage! Because the red mages cannot heal as well as the white mages (or rather the sage) you will not be able to be as effective in resurrection. Having had two red mages and no white, it was quickly over with me. Without a good diversity of classes and enough items I figured I couldn't do it. BUT, backups are there for that. Having made a double save when entering the dungeon, I took this last one and I went to train myself a little to get some money, to sell objects that I did not need and I provided myself like crazy into a bunch of items that could help me succeed.

Finally all is well then. It was a little harder than if I had had a white mage I think, but what to do, I love being at the front and attacking without thinking too much like a good nag. So I was in Paladin, Master, Red Sage, and Red Sage mode. I spent my time exterminating the monsters as fast as possible without using too much magic. Indeed, the red sages can have superb equipment also for the attack, the paladin necessarily too and the master knocks everything out with his fists. Most of my MP are used for care and protection. When it turns out useful or necessary then we indulge ourselves with black magic.

I was then able to get rid of the vermin making this world a poor and sad place. Again we can be impressed by the script because in the end, no one will ever know everything we did. It was all a paradox. By putting an end to it, we are not making our destiny possible. So by doing what we do, we lose the memory of our exploits in our present. The villain, Garland turned Chaos, is actually taken from our present by the Chaos Demons, to go into the past and make their own existence possible. By doing this, they allow the prophecy to be fulfilled by creating the warriors of light that we embody. By going to destroy it, we are not allowing demons to exist or Garland to be Chaos. So we can't remember something that we've never done.

So yes, we save the world, in exchange we simply lose our memory so do all living people. No one will ever know that an unprecedented danger existed and that it was even a chaotic time loop until we intervene. It turns the brain upside down and it's just great in terms of imagination, ingenuity.

This game, just by its history, shows the full potential of this studio and its director. A small band of geniuses who will make us happy for so long. Today we are treated to a lot of games that no one should ignore if they love RPGs. We cannot miss this franchise or this Square Enix company which has created so many good games.

Thanks Final Fantasy

More and more information is coming out via small presentation videos coming directly from Square Enix. Summer 2023 the game will be released. Very good news and here is the information we have so far!

First let's review the universe. We have six kingdoms. These six realms are part of a world blessed by crystals. However, all is not perfect. The different kingdoms also find themselves in conflict.

Valisthea is the name of this world in which we will be immersed. The spread of the Blight threatens the fragile peace of this world. Each of the six kingdoms has in its possession a mother crystal. These crystals produce the beneficent ether.

Each kingdom has a dominant, the one who can shelter the entities called the eikons. Some nations see their dominant as a chosen one, others as a devastating weapon. In any case, the dominants cannot deny this status no matter what.

The different kingdoms are:

Archduchy of Rosalia, ruled by the Phoenix dominant, eikon of Fire.

Holy Empire of Bloodbrec, the dominant leads the army, with no further details on who, what, or how.

Kingdom of Valoed, their ruler would also be the dominant. We don't know any more. However Benedikta Harman, commander of the spy corps is also an dominant of Garuda, mistress of wind and storms.

Republic of Dalmequia, the dominant of Titan resides there and has the right to a seat on the council of Dalmequia. This is Hugo Kupka

Iron Kingdom, there would be no dominant because it is seen as a threat. The newborn who could be a dominant on their territory is executed.

Crystal Dominion, being strategically interesting, it is coveted by other kingdoms. They have no dominant and house the largest crystal in Valisthea.

We can therefore understand that the known (and unknown) dominant will be very important. This vast world is in danger of quickly sinking into total chaos and you will have to be able to survive in this ruthless world. According to the explanations of the characters known for the moment it seems that we play the prince of the archduchy of Rosalia, Clive Rosfield.

Expected to become the new dominant, it seems that fate is ultimately for his younger brother Joshua. He then becomes Rosalie's Guardian and swears to protect his brother. Clive will want revenge on Ifrit, a dark eikon who is at the origin of an unforgivable tragedy.

So it seems that everything revolves around the Rosfields. It will be interesting to see how free our movements will be and if any known details from the franchise will come to light. We speak Mog and Chocobos. So the mounts are visible in the videos, but will they be controllable? Will we finally be able to have the right again to have the different old-fashioned colors with the specific characteristics of the colors?

In the meantime, a good game to all.
