NEWS: Gauntlet Reboot Revealed

Warner Bros. Interactive has announced a reboot of the arcade classic.


The newly established publisher WB Games Vault is to release a revamped version of the 1985 arcade game, featuring all four character classes players have come accustomed to over the years. A release date has not yet been specified, but the game is expected to hit Steam during the summer.

Each character has their own respective traits, strengths and weaknesses - the Wizard has the ability to cast powerful magic whilst lacking the high defence of the Valkyrie, who is able to sustain large amounts of damage. 

The Warrior can deal the most melee damage, whilst finally the Elf can maneuver through the game at rapid speeds, making him the fastest member of the group.

As seen in the video below, the game will provide numerous procedural dungeons equipped with tons of enemies, all taking place in a hack n slash environment.

NEWS: Don't Expect A Final Fantasy VII Remake Soon

Final Fantasy VII's director Yoshinori Kitase has discussed the much-demanded remake.
Speaking with Eurogamer regarding the possibility of an actual remake of the 1997 cult-classic; Final Fantasy VII, Kitase said "I can honestly tell you I would love to do that", going on to say "But you must believe me when I say it would take a lot to happen."

He goes on to say the possibility shouldn't be completely ruled out but "it would take a lot to make it happen.", eventually discussing how the original PlayStation release was and still is his life work - "I would have to be as highly motivated as that to end up with something I'm very happy with. It's a huge thing for me."

Not the most comforting words for those who are still wanting a remake, however there is still hope but it wouldn't be advised to get excited for anything soon.
