Cari's E3 2017 Review

Hey Guys, Cari here and I’m reporting on E3 2017 after returning from L.A. I don’t have a ton to report this year but here are my first impressions of the things that I saw. Day one I got to see Natsume’s booth, DISSIDIA FINAL FANTASY NT, and Marvel versus Capcom. (I saw many things including gaming setups and technology and there were a ton of games showcased this year, these are what I got my hands on). Day two was very light, I played Super Mario Odyssey and Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin, and watched Chris play some Knack II. Day three I played Lego Dimensions and Sonic Forces.

Deus Ex: The Fall Announced

/

Today Square Enix Ltd announced the latest game in the Deus Ex franchise. DEUS EX: THE FALL is set in the year 2027. In it you play Ben Saxon, a former British SAS Mercenary who has undergone augmentation and is now reliant on a specific drug to stay alive; a drug that is supplied by powerful corporations that have taken control away from all (assumption here) governments. Now after he has been betrayed by the Tyrants, his former private military employers, he is searching for the truth behind this drug conspiracy. The price of failure for not finding this out could be not just own life, but all augmented humans. What could be the only rub? It is for iOS only. Check out the YouTube announcement below.

Nothing can spell the death of a good MMO like letting it start to stagnent. If a developer stops releasing new content for their game they might as well start making preperation to pull the plug. Well Square Enix is not going to let Final Fantasy XI go that way yet. As of March 26, 2013 Xbox 360 and PC players will have access to the Seekers of Adoulin expansion.

Final Fantasy 25th Anniversary Celebration

/

That's right; starting today Square Enix is celebrating 25 years of Final Fantasy. In its 25 years Final Fantasy has been launched over 40 titles on dozens of systems and has become a household name in the gamer community. All gamers, even if they have not played a Final Fantasy game, they know about them and the iconic music that is played when you are victorious in a battle. To start the celebration Square Enix has launched the Final Fantasy 25th Anniversary site as a main site to announce the events that will be happening through the rest of the year.

A few of these activities include an event happening at PAX Prime with the first "Experience Final Fantasy". This event will be happening Friday, August 31 from 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the ACT Theatre in Seattle (700 Union Street).  This is open to the general public where there will be several games setup for play. There will also be prizes such as fan favorite plushies, special 25th Anniversary poster and Xbox 360 or PS3 consoles that are themed after Final Fantasy XIII-2.  Hopefully this will be one of many events they have, which will hopefully be announced on the above website. Want more on the celebration? I think you know what to do!

 

Quantum Conundrum - E3 Preview

/
Making a good puzzle game can be difficult. First you have to figure out a good mechanic for solving the puzzles. Then you have to design puzzles that can be solved with the mechanic, offers a challenge, but does not frustrate players. Quantum Conundrum, developed by Airtight Games and published by Square Enix, has done a good job in puzzling this together. In Quantum Conundrum you have been dropped off to visit uncle, only to find him missing. He is somewhere in his house as he helps you through the game, with varying degrees of usefulness, but does not know where in his house that he actually is (it is pretty big). Well, time to save the crazy scientist.
