Square Enix Admit it Wants to Bring Final Fantasy Game to PC

Final Fantasy Going to PC

"Final Fantasy releases have been few and far between in PC-land, leaving us to make do with just Final Fantasy VII and VIII, as well as the two forays into the online wilderness, Final Fantasy XI and XIV: A Realm Reborn. Kitase has revealed though that the early stages of development for the Final Fantasy XIII trilogy all began on PC, before porting the game over to consoles for release…

There was at one time an option for the team at Square Enix to release the games for PC, but that ultimately the team decided against it. Kitase said; “As far as the technology is concerned, it would

Still, going forward Kitase believes that there very much is a market for a PC gaming audience for Square Enix’s beloved and yet troubled franchise. “We see potential in it and there are lots of regions and countries where PC is very strong,” he continued. “So in terms of our hope of being able to deliver our games to every single country in the world and to as many gamers as possible, yes, we would definitely be interested in pursuing that route in the future."

The last single-player Final Fantasy game to release on PC was Final Fantasy VIII way back in 2000. Recent re-releases of Final Fantasy VII and VIII on Steam have proven extremely popular, making the likelihood of more titles appearing a possibility. "It's an early stage for us. We haven't got an awful lot of experience in this field. So when we have more know-how and experience in this market we would be very interested."

So far Final Fantasy XV has only been confirmed for a Playstation 4 and Xbox One release."
have been possible for us to make a PC version, but we decided against it for two reasons: we looked at the market situation and we didn't think it would be a good idea, and also it would have involved lots of complex issues like security. So we decided not to do it this time around.”

Tony Hawk Back in the Pipeline

New Tony Hawk Game is in the Pipeline

New Tony Hawk Game

"Between 1999 and 2010, on Tony Hawk game was released annually. Like Call Of Duty (only, you know, skateboard based) the franchise began strong and revolutionary, with the first few games in the series accruing some of the highest review scores from gamers and critics alike in the history of gaming.

You can have too much of a good thing, however, and four years ago, Tony Hawk Pro Skater took a much needed break. Now, with the number of even semi-decent extreme sports games having plummeted in the last few years, Tony is back. The retired pro-skater himself has revealed that work is undergoing on a new Tony Hawk title…

In an interview on US radio yesterday, Hawk told audiences that he is currently working on motion capture for a new skateboarding game that he is “pretty cool”. Activision, who originally published more than a dozen games in the skating franchise, have also stepped forward to confirm their involvement in the project. A spokesperson for the publishing giant has said that "Activision can confirm that they have something in the works with Tony Hawk," and that "more info is coming soon."

For those of us who, as children, spent much, much more time with the virtual boards of SSX and Tony Hawk games than actually outside, you know, exercising and stuff, the thought of a new motion captured skateboarding title is pretty interesting. Let’s hope the hiatus for the series means Activision can do something fresh with the series."

ZAKI POV
kini aku sedang jalan-jalan di halaman belakang sekolahku. di sini sangat indah dan nyaman menurutku. aku selalu datang ke sini saat pagi-pagi. "hei, katanya hari ini ada murid baru loh~" "oh ya? anak kelas berapa" "hm, kalo gak salah sih anak kelas 11.3" "cewek, cowok?" "cewek" ada murid baru? biarin ah, bukan anak kelasku ini. TEET TEET udah bel? mesti buru-buru ke kelas nih.
--di kelas--
"ZAKI!" teriak sahabatku yang langsung memekakan telingaku ugh, seperti perempuan saja sih suaranya batinku "kau sudah dengar belum?" tanyanya antusias "kalau maksudmu tentang game center yang baru-baru ini buka di dekat sini aku sudah tau." "yah, tadi sih aku mau bertanya hal itu, tapi bukan cuma itu aja!" "lalu?" "kau tau? ada anak baru di sekolah kita!" katanya "ah, cewek yang bakal masuk kelas 11.3 itu ya?" tebakku "kau sudah tau?" tanyanya kaget. "aku dengar dari kakak kelas yang bergosip tadi" jelasku "baiklah kalau begitu, nanti temani aku kesana yah!" pintanya dengar puppy eyes andalannya. bisa tidak kau tidak usah bersikap seperti perempuan? tentu itu ku katakan dalam hati saja "baiklah..." kataku pasrah.
--saat istirahat--
"Zaki, ayo cepat!" ah, kau ini, berisik tau! "iya, iya." jawabku pasrah, kalau gak begitu gak bakal kelar masalahnya. kami pun menaiki tangga menuju lantai 2 --karena kelasku di lantai satu sedangkan kelas 11.3 di lantai dua-- dan dengan segera menghampiri kelas 11.3. saat kami sudah berada dekat kelas 11.3, aku melihat dua senpai-ku --mada dan syahmil-- menuju ke arah yang sama --kelas11.3-- pasti mereka pengen liat anak baru juga deh. setelah memberikan anggukan --seolah telah tau akan pertanyaannya-- kami pun menuju ke kelas 11.3 bersama. ka syahmil kemudian bertanya tentang keberadaan anak baru yang baru saja ku ketahui bernama sakura. nama yang indah. "ya, ada apa ya?" astaga! dia cantik sekali. tidak, dia manis. ah, lebih dari itu. entahlah, dia seperti bidadari. dia harus jadi milikku, ya harus! kau tau? terkadang aku yang KAWAII ini pun dapat berubah menjadi sosok yang KOWAII hanya untuk mendapatkan sesuatu.
