The result was Final Fantasy Tactics , a game sharing a fiction with the series at large, but strongly tied to the isometric gameplay and mechanics of Tactics Ogre . Appealing to a brand new audience (and much of the existing), Tactics didn’t just sell well, it kicked off a brand new series for the publisher, with characters, locations and monsters shared between Tactics and FF core titles for years to c
October is shaping up to be a killer month for great video game titles! Ranters, what are you waiting to spend your time and money on? Let us know what you’re excited to sink your teeth into in the comments section below! As for me, I’m ready to get the mega evolutions of my favorite classic starters in Pokémon X and
The Assassin’s Creed series has spent so many years as Ubisoft ‘s flagship series, it may be difficult to recall when the Prince of Persia series held the same title, wowing audiences and critics alike every few years. But few likely realize that the similarities between the two go far deeper than acrobatic traversal and spry heroes; Assassin’s Creed Shadows DLC|https://creedshadowgame.com/ Creed was originally conceived as a spin-off of the Prince of Persia franch
This week’s Bravely Default is just the latest such title (originally a sequel to Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light ), but it’s not alone. Here is our list of the Top 10 Spiritual Successor Video Gam
On hand for the panel were Deus Ex: Human Revolution screenwriter C. Robert Cargill, Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li writer Justin Marks, Blur Studio’s Tim Miller, Producer Adrian Askarieh, EA Entertainment VP Patrick O’Brien, and Mortal Kombat: Legacy Director Kevin Tancharoen — a group that is well equipped to talk about video game movies past, present, and fut
Despite a few successes peppered over the course of several decades, the general consensus is that video game movies are not only a risky proposition for studios, but most of them are lacking in quality. However, we might be in the midst of a changing of the guard, so to speak, as game developers take a more hands-on role in video game movie development (a la Marvel Comic
As Justin Marks explained, the Shadow of the Colossus film will pare the eponymous hulking creatures down to 3 or maybe even 1. While fans would likely want to see the game lifted whole cloth, seeing 16 consecutive colossi battles might have been exhaust

Up next is the anticipated Pokémon X and Y for the Nintendo 3DS, taking the beloved franchise to the next evolution on October 12th. LEGO Marvel Super Heroes snaps into action on the 18th, with Batman: Arkham Origins hot on the trail on the 25th – both available for all major consoles.

Originally developed as Prince of Persia: Assassins , the game put the player in control of the royal bodyguards meant to protect the titular Prince’s life. Ultimately, the company felt that the concept was strong enough to stand on its own, while the concept art apparently found its way into Sands of Time . Let’s hope the Prince can find his way back to the top of the heap through similar me
Speaking of Dead Space , Justin Marks, who at one point was working on the script for that adaptation, revealed that the movie explored the idea of losing Isaac Clarke as the protagonist. Thankfully, that idea was scrapped somewhere along the line, and now Isaac Clarke is back in the spotli
Overall, the panel was focused on the potential of video game movies rather than showing any footage. However, if you are looking forward to either the Shadow of the Colossus or Dead Space movies, there are a few reasons to be exci
As the holiday season looms closer, gamers everywhere prepare for the impending release of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One . There’s a lot in store for current-generation systems before November hits, however, so let’s jump in and take a l
The groundbreaking BioShock has been hailed as one of the best games of the previous generation by many critics and outlets, with its own spiritual sequel BioShock Infinite proving that Irrational Games’ creative lead Ken Levine has a knack for compelling settings and themes. But the tale of an Objectivist utopia built on the bottom of the sea actually owes its existence to System Sho
While the panel didn’t feature anything too revelatory, besides an update on Cargill’s approach to adapting Deus Ex , it was an interesting look into the process of developing video game movies. Patrick O’Brien was perhaps the most candid about the process, and it makes sense considering he has two movies ( Dead Space and Need for Speed ) in active developm
