Final Fantasy VII Remake: New Screenshots Released

Square Enix has released 22 new screenshots and pieces of character art, showing previously unseen parts of Final Fantasy VII remake.

The screenshots include glimpses at the Shinra Building, Aerith gameplay (including what appears to be her Limit Break, Healing Wind), the Air Buster boss and more.

Character art also shows Cloud and Aerith’s new models in more detail. The screenshots run the length of what we expect the first episode of the Remake to encompass – although, as we know, these episodes have been inflated to the size of full games in their own right.

Child’s Play Review

In 1988, Tom Holland and Don Mancini crafted a surprising horror-thriller about a serial killer who–utilizing mysterious voodoo magic–transports his soul into a popular children’s toy. The wacky premise and practical effects translated to box office success, launching a pop culture icon in Chucky and a sprawling franchise. 31 years later, original distributor MGM has remade the original film–despite the original series continuing under the watchful eye of original writer Don Mancini, with a SYFY TV series currently in development–and though it comes up with an entirely new backstory for the killer doll and stars an intriguing cast, the Child’s Play reboot feels derivative and unnecessary in all the ways that the cult classic felt fresh and boundary pushing.

12 Minutes Is a Riveting Groundhog Day-Style Murder Mystery

12 Minutes had me at minute one, but playing it only reinforced my gut reaction to it: this is my favorite new game from E3 2019, and if it’s not already on your radar, it’s time to rectify that. The concept is a clever mashup of a roguelike and a traditional point-and-click adventure game, viewed from a top-down perspective: playing as the husband, you and your wife are sitting down to dinner, where she wants to share some big news. She’s prepared something special to eat, and she asks you to set the table. But you can do anything you like and your wife will react. If you sit on the couch, she’ll sit next to you and cuddle in front of the TV. You can wander the apartment – I saw a bathroom, bedroom, and a closet – and it doesn’t appear you can leave. Dialogue options change based on your choices.

A Game of Thrones Battle With 50 Direwolves Was Cut From Season 8

We didn’t get to see much of Ghost in Season 8 of Game of Thrones, but apparently we missed out on a lot more direwolf action than we realized in the show’s final episodes.

In a recent podcast interview with IndieWire, director Miguel Sapochnik (who helmed Season 8 episode 3, “The Long Night,” and episode 5, “The Bells”) revealed that the scope of “The Long Night” was far bigger than anyone could’ve imagined – at least during the planning process.

J.J. Abrams & Son Writing New Spider-Man Series

Marvel’s mystery Spider-Man project has finally been revealed. While it isn’t a continuation of Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man movies as first speculated, it does have a major Hollywood connection. Director J.J. Abrams and his son Henry are collaborating on a new Spider-Man tale.

As revealed by The New York Times, the comic in question is simply titled Spider-Man. This five-issue limited series will be drawn by Sara Pichelli (Spider-Men) and colored by Dave Stewart (Hellboy).

This New Scooby-Doo Series Looks BONKERS

Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Inc. gang have teamed up with plenty of celebrities over the years – from the Harlem Globetrotters to Sonny and Cher to the stars of Supernatural – but the latest incarnation of the beloved animated series will be the first to feature a revolving door of star cameos in a half-hour format, following in the funky footsteps of the hourlong New Scooby-Doo Movies of the ’70s.

Scooby-Doo and Guess Who has gathered an all-star cast (and some surprisingly nostalgic additions) to assist Scooby and the gang in solving a new batch of mysteries, from comedians like Ricky Gervais, Weird Al Yankovic, and Kenan Thompson, to singer-songwriter Sia, NBA star Chris Paul, Family Matters’ Steve Urkel (voiced by Jaleel White), and even Batman himself (Kevin Conroy).
