Justice Monsters Five Delayed Until August June 28, 2016

Final Fantasy has occasionally offered more than just revolutionary role playing combat with each new title, the games’ developers will occasionally include fun mini games with their games like Triple Triad with Final Fantasy VIII, and Final Fantasy XV is no different. This time around, Square Enix plans to include an in-universe pinball game called Justice Monsters Five, and the best part is you won’t need to buy Final  Fantasy XV to play it.

Square Enix is releasing a standalone version of Justice Monsters Five for tablets and smartphones free to play, and players will be able to use it to unlock special goodies for Final Fantasy XV. Sadly, it looks like players will have to wait a bit longer before they can start playing.

An official Twitter post confirmed the game’s iOS and Android versions will not be released until August 2016, a month before the release of Final Fantasy XV.

That’s the bad news, but I’m happy to say that there is some good news. The developers have confirmed they are working on a version of the game for Windows 10 PCs, and it is expected to be released through the Windows 10 Store. This is great news for gamers who are not able to afford smartphones or tablets, and prefer to play games on the PC.

Justice Monsters Five is coming to iOS, and Android devices in August 2016. A version for Windows 10 has been announced but has no release date.

PS4 Software Update 3.55 Released June 21, 2016

Sony has just released a required software update for the PlayStation 4 in the form of Software Update 3.55.

The new update lists unspecified improvements in its official patch notes.  If you previously had the most recent Software Update installed in your PS4, this update should only weigh in at around 300MB.  It must be installed to access the PlayStation Network.

Dead Rising: Endgame Released For Free on Crackle June 20, 2016

A year or so ago, Crackle released a film called Dead Rising: Watchtower, and to this day I consider it the best video game film ever made. It took place between the events of Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 3, and told an interesting story with some new and familiar characters.

Now, Crackle has done it and made a sequel, Dead Rising: Endgame and it is out now for free!  Here’s the trailer.

To watch Dead Rising: Endgame, download and fire up the Crackle app on your smartphone, game console or tablet, because this film is out now!  My advice would be to watch it on your Xbox One or PS4 console for the best visual experience. I can’t think of any better way to pass the time as we wait for the release of Dead Rising 4.

Final Fantasy XV E3 2016 Preview June 16, 2016

A lot of fans of Final Fantasy XV may have caught glimpses of the game at Sony and Microsoft’s E3 Press Events, but that was in fact only a small portion of what was actually shown at E3 2016. In fact, the game was denied over the course of two days at Square Enix’s E3 booth, and here’s some of the footage of those stage shows.

Let’s start off with the Final Fantasy XV stage presentation from the first day of E3. You might want to jump to 27 minutes to get right into the show.

Next up, here’s the presentation of the game from Day 2, where they showed off some never before seen content including Wait Mode.

If you want a closer look at this content, that isn’t an issue. Here’s a look at Wait Mode.

And here’s a closer look at a new flying ship that you can unlock.

Final Fantasy XV is coming September 30th, 2016 to PS4 and Xbox One.

Massive Video Preview of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wilderness June 16, 2016

On the first day of E3 2016, Nintendo announced the title for the latest game in The Legend of Zelda franchise, The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wilderness.

Nearly all of the entire first day of E3 was devoted to showing this game. They previewed so much about this game I have absolutely no idea where to start. It’s clear that this game is heavily inspired by the franchise by thrusting players into an open world where they can do absolutely anything, and explore anywhere. You can cook, you can hunt, you can sneak, and you can fight.

To start, here’s the first preview video of the day, a look at the game’s introduction.

Next up is a look at some of the game’s mechanics and the environment.

Here’s a look at the game’s first shrine.

In this game, weapons are actually destructible but they can be picked up off the ground. Here’s a look at the game’s weapons and combat.

Next up is a look at the game’s Amiibo functionality. You might remember that Wolf Link was included with copies of Twilight Princess HD, now you can see what you’ll be able to do with it.

Next up is a preview joined by the creator of Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong and Super Mario, Shigeru Myamoto where he talks about his memories of developing the original game on the NES and how it compares to this game.

Here is the second shrine adventure.  Don’t adjust your watch.

Hunting and gathering is a big part of the game.  The environment is teeming with life and you need to use this to your advantage on your journey.

Next up is the next shrine, which they call shrine four…  This could be the start of a shirtless Link cosplay trend.

Next up is a journey outside the plateau.

Finally, we have a special look at some extra shrines that were not shown on the show floor.

The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wilderness is coming to Nintendo NX and Wii U in 2017.

Detroit: Become Human E3 2016 David Cage Interview June 16, 2016

There is no exclusive coming to the PS4 I’m anticipating more than Detroit. Directed by David Cage, who you may remember for their awesomely unique titles Indigo Prophecy (Fahrenheit), Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls, Detroit is a futuristic noir where you control androids nearly indistinguishable from humans.

The game had a great showing when their newest trailer premiered at the Sony E3 2016 Press Event, but that was all we had to go on.  Yesterday, David Cage did an interview with PlayStation and we got to see our first active preview of the game and hear a bit more about the inspiration behind this title.

Detroit: Become Human is coming exclusively to the PS4.

Pokemon GO E3 2016 Developer Q&A June 16, 2016

This morning, Nintendo hosted a developer Q&A session at E3 2016 for the upcoming Smartphone game Pokémon Go.

If you have been dying to see your first glimpse of Pokémon Go gameplay and hear more about the game before it launches, you need to watch this video.

Pokémon Go is coming soon to Android and iOS Smartphones.

Pokemon Go Plus Price and Release Schedule June 15, 2016

Since Pokémon Go was first announced, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have been very quiet about its development process.  Today, Nintendo has just offered a massive trove of information about the upcoming smartphone game to kick off E3 Day 2!

A major component of Pokémon Go is the Pokémon Go Plus accessory. This is a Bluetooth Device that will interact directly with the Pokémon Go app on your smartphone to notify Pokémon Go Trainers without them needing to constantly check their phones.

When you are near a Pokémon, Pokémon Go Plus will vibrate and signal you with a specific color light. You can then push a button on the Plus to launch a Pokeball at the Pokémon. If the capture is successful, the Plus will flash a rainbow of several different colors, and a failed capture will be indicated by a solid red light.  You can then check your app at your leisure to see what you captured.

So how much will this cool device cost and when can we expect it?  Myamoto himself confirmed Pokémon Go Plus will be out at the end of July for a price of $34.99. This is great news, as this isn’t that far away and obviously the Pokémon Go app itself will need to be released before the accessory is!

Only the Pokémon from Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue will be available at the app’s launch. This was an intentional decision due to it being the 20th anniversary of Pokémon.

Pokémon Go is coming to Android and iOS devices!

Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon E3 2016 Preview June 14, 2016

Nintendo kicked off their E3 2016 coverage this morning by previewing the newest games in the Pokémon franchise, Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon.

Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon are coming November 2016 to the Nintendo 3DS.

Pokemon Sun and Moon E3 2016 Trailer June 14, 2016

Earlier this morning, Nintendo revealed the first full trailer for the next game in The Legend of Zelda series. Shortly after that, before devoting nearly an entire day to previewing the next Zelda title, they hosted a great preview of the staring area of the seventh generation Pokémon games.

While that preview has not been published yet (trust us when it is we will publish it here), they did show some brand new Pokémon that you’ll be able to catch in that game. If you missed the preview and want to see the new Pokémon up close, please enjoy.

A longer preview of Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon is scheduled tomorrow from Nintendo’s booth at E3 2016.  Stay tuned for that!

Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon are coming November 2016 to the Nintendo 3DS.
