[Iron Curtain]

So the Blade Runner adventure game, long thought lost forever because the company that made it lost the source code, is now legally and fully available on GOG.

Sweeeeet. Must say, that looks pretty damn good. I do hope it comes out for PC.

I keep hearing that the FF VII Remake released in April will only be the first part of the game!!! Is that true or BS?

It's covering up to Midgar, but they're also fleshing some stuff out, so it's not as short as the original games Midgar part.  It's going to be episodic this time around.

[Russoguru]

That's what I was afraid of. I'm just wondering how much HDD space it's going to take up between all three or four episodes in total.

[Bitt_Player]

The FFVII remake is episodic, Square Enix aren't sure how many episodes there will be. Each episode will be priced as a full game, which is to say $60 base, or $80+ for the version they expect you to buy.
The first episode will be on two discs. The Playstation 4 uses dual-layer Blu-Rays, so the episode needing two of them means it's more than 50GB in size. Probably significantly more, or else they'd max out one disc and put the remaining 5-10GB in a mandatory launch day patch.
Being a modern AAA title, there will probably be a mandatory launch day patch anyway, mind you.

Platinum Games is kickstarting a remaster of The Wonderful 101, which was a criminally underappreciated Wii U game.

The Switch version is already funded, and the stretch goals mean ports to Steam and PS4. Physical copies are going for just over $40, which is peanuts for a Kickstarter campaign. (The standard is usually, $30 for the digital game, and $100 before you start getting physical rewards.)

Its pretty much up to funding a 2D side scroller.

I'm not familiar with any of these games but I am looking forward to trying them.
