Final Fantasy XIII deleted a full game’s worth of stuff

Final Fantasy XIIIpromises to be a damn big game, but according to art director Isamu Kamikokuryou, that’s only a percentage of the sheer volume of content that was made. Apparently, there is enough deleted stuff to make a whole new game. One of the cut locations is a park area that surrounded Lightning’s home. There was also a secret base for rebel group Nora hidden in one of the game’s shops....

The free-to-play hero shooter with a troubled development history will launch on July 20 on PC and Xbox One.

There seems to be a certain stigma in gaming, as of late, that Japanese developers have lost their touch when it comes to creating experiences that appeal as much to western gamer as they do to the Japanese. Once dominant franchises, such asFinal Fantasy, have fallen by the wayside to the likes ofCall of Dutyand have been further left behind, in terms of design, by the mammoth undertakings of titles likeThe Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim....

However, the massive improvement in gameplay has meant that frustrations with one item from the latest Warbond feel bigger than they actually are. TheChemical Agents Warbondwas released inHelldivers 2a few days after the game’s 60-day update.

There doesn’t seem to be any way that people won’t tinker with the game and in this instance, we get to see dead technology being revived to playTES5. As spotted byPCGamesN, Reddit usernekomichirecently showed that it’s possible to run the game in a Steam Deck (so far so normal) using old iPods as controllers....

Heroes of the Storm’s Heroes Brawl is another way to earn rewards

New mode launching next week on the PTR I’ve not once dipped into the Arena side ofHeroes of the Storm, but perhaps Blizzard’s rework of the mode into “Heroes Brawl” later this month will spur change. That, or the gold dangling on a stick (if you participate in three Brawls a week, you’ll pocket portrait rewards and in-game currency).
