New Chrono Trigger Fan Remake May Not Be Safe in the Shadows

Chrono Trigger

Chrono Trigger is one of the most beloved RPGs of all time, and with good reason. It's an excellent game, and despite Square Enix releasing the game on a fair number of platforms over the years, fans have no less of an appetite for remakes and re-releases. A new HD remake of the game is now allegedly in the works and is hoping to learn from the mistakes of its predecessors.

Fans have attempted to release remakes in the past only to see what Square Enix's legal team is paid to do. Chrono Resurrection was an enhanced remake of the original game which received a great deal of attention in 2004. A public reveal resulted in several months of heavy traffic from Square Enix IP addresses, which in turn led to a cease and desist being issued to the team behind it. There was also Chrono Trigger: Crimson Echoes, a modded version of the game in development for more than four years. Just prior to its release in May 2009, Square Enix issues a cease and desist which ended development and blocked its release. Despite this, an alpha version lacking many key features and bug fixes was leaked at one point before the final release made it out. Chrono Resurrection, a remake initially slated for release on N64, also fell victim to a cease and desist.

Where Should Star Trek Games Boldly Go Next?

When I went to get a first look at the upcoming Star Trek game by Digital Extremes last year, I really wasn't sure what to expect. I had heard that it would be a third-person shooter, but I had no idea what that meant for the series. Somehow, I couldn't shake the thought of Kirk fist-bumping Spock after gunning down hundreds of Klingons.

Assassin's Creed III Brings Much-Needed Change to the Series

After two slightly underwhelming installments, many fans argued that the Assassin's Creed series was in dire need of a revolution. Thankfully Ubisoft seemed to agree, as evidenced in Assassin's Creed III. We speculated on the setting of ACIII, and once it was revealed to be the American Revolution, we expressed our hopes and fears over this decision. But despite all of that, we still didn't get a chance to see the game in action until the final day of GDC, when Ubisoft gathered a small group of journalists together to unveil ACIII, highlight its lengthy development, and prove why it's shaping up to be the most groundbreaking entry in the series.
