Final Fantasy fans have been waiting in anticipation for Final Fantasy Versus XIII since the game was first announced to the Playstation 3 in 2006 (!). Now, Square Enix renamed the game to Final Fantasy XV and also announced that the game will come out for Playstation 4 and Xbox One instead of Playstation 3

The name change is probably a wise move, many were unhappy with Final Fantasy XIII, and a game with the same number in the title will probably be harder to tempt than with a brand new game in the series.

Final Fantasy XV will take place in a sort of alternate version of our own present, with towns and villages of our own world recreated in the game. The trailer below looks fairly impressive, with intense action scenes and beautiful cutscenes.

After many years of speculation and rumors of a Star Wars Battlefront III, EA could finally announce that they have taken a Tomb Raider and is about to revive the series under the name of Star Wars Battlefront. In the teaser for about 25 seconds, we do not see more than one DICE logo and an uncomfortable walk in the snow in first person with spaceships falling above but we expect that the game will be released for next-generation consoles in 2014 or 2015. The trailer you see below.

Many blood fans have asked over Twitter Lionhead Studios for the first game in the Fable series ever going to be reborn in HD suit in the style of Halo: Anniversary. Now Lionhead finally lifted the veil, and with a short teaser announcing that it is exactly what is going to happen.

However, they are not much information out of the launch trailer; half consists of all Twitter messages from fans and also you get to see the villain - Jack of Blades - announcing his return. The Xbox 360 mark at the end implies that they can not expect a launch at some other plattfomer, but the more information they have enough wait. Maybe E3 offers a release date or further details?

The comparison is done on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, which was the last game in the series developed by Infinity Ward. Especially environment got a solid overhaul, but also faces and not least the infamous dog has evolved tremendously clean graphic.

For those of us who have played on the PC over the past year is nothing here that surpasses graphics standard for advanced PC games, but it's still good to see that there is a noticeable step from the current console graphics to the new generation. It is strange to think that one day the graphics on today's consoles to see properly primitive and outdated out. Once upon a time we thought that the Playstation 2 had photorealistic graphics, today we laugh of the hopelessly primitive graphics on Sony's old console.

Electronic Arts took the opportunity to announce four new sports game for Xbox One: FIFA, NBA, UFC and Madden NFL. One Xbox and Playstation 4 versions of these games uses a completely new graphics engine developed for the next generation called Ignite. Strangely enough, will not PC versions use this engine.

The last game that was shown yesterday was Quantum Break from Finnish Remedy (best known for Max Payne and Alan Wake). According to information I have received is the game both a television series and a game, where the action of the series affects the game and vice versa. Interesting concept, at least, even if the trailer says very little about how the gameplay is going to be.

In advance of E3 tend Microsoft and Sony's PR department to leak as two strainers. Screenshots, pictures, trailers and much more tend to find their way out of the company and into the net. In the evening there appeared an alleged leaked E3 trailer from Sony that show glimpses of the Playstation 4

Currently it is not confirmed whether the video is real or not. If it is false it is in this case very elaborate. We will see many faces of people who have bright Playstation symbols in the eyes, mixed with brief glimpses of what appears to be the next Infamous and rotating images of the console, which most of all resembles a kind AppleTV with a light around.

What speaks against the trailer is that it only be a short game shots from action games, they would think that Sony chose a more diverse selection of games expression in such a trailer. In addition, they seem almost looks a little zombie-like with the faces and the lights in the eyes, not a phrase they think Sony will associate with Playstation 4.

They have sent notices to YouTube users who make movies with Nintendo content Sometimes you wonder if Nintendo has been blind from sitting in a bubble for years. Your tactics are often contrary to the trends of the time. For example, they were to tapes when everyone else opted for the CD-ROM. And they consistently refuse to participate in the technology race and create rather cheaper - but often more original - hardware. In particular, the Internet has been a great threat to Nintendo over the years, first with the 3DS and Wii U seems to have discovered the opportunities rather than threats by releasing their players out online and let the socializing with each

Site Game Front namely revealed today that Nintendo has discovered video site YouTube has started to send out content warnings to people who have posted or made ​​videos with Nintendo content.

The warning does in practice that the user can no longer monetize their video. Instead, the Nintendo receiving income. In addition, Nintendo may choose to put ads into the video, block access to the video in certain countries or block it completely. If they block a video can cause the user's various privilege, like uploading videos that are more than 15 minutes long.

Thus says Nintendo free to remove videos criticizing their games, or put their games in a bad light.

More Let's Play-makers have already received inquiries from Nintendo, which has now taken control of their videos. Nintendo claims in an email to Game Front that they do not have to account to block videos, but want to "make sure that Nintendo content is being shared across social media channels in an appropriate and safe manner."

Let's Play-makers are obviously up in arms, and according Game Front has several declared that they now keep far from Nintendo games when they make videos.

Nintendo's version of the internet is a closed and exclusive system that Nintendo should have full control. It is characterized by the same attitude the company has had since the 80's where they had full control over the flow of information about their games through magazines like Nintendo Power.

Play Videos on YouTube has certainly been a headache for Nintendo long, which would like to have control over these too. Now they are trying to get control, it will hardly be positive for Nintendo in the long run.
