  1. If it's in development, then it won't be out until Fall 2016 at earliest. Who knows what the CW-DCU will look like in over a year. And hey, if Legends of Tomorrow is only a mid-season replacement next season, and it doesn't come back in the Fall, then maybe there is a gap there.

    I feel like they should just call the channel the DCW at this point.

  2. It seems like a bunch of fervour over nothing.

    Which is basically what her comments amounted to.

    I actually thought the article made a good point: rather than judging a violent game for existing, she/we should be pushing for more non-violent games to be made as well. Expand the market, don't shrink it. Violence isn't the same thing as various social ills like sexism; it isn't a blemish to be purged.

  3. She put forward a value judgment upon people who enjoy over-the-top violence in video games. It would be one thing if she said, "man, this level of gore is just not for me," but she made it into a moral judgment upon the game itself and those who enjoy it—which carries more weight because she's recognized as someone with an important voice in the social issues of gaming.

    I mean, I'm not really a fan of Mortal Kombat's fatalities, but I don't go around telling all my friends that I'm disappointed in them because they like it.

  4. It looks exactly in line with Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, which is cool in my book. Hell, the bird dog is pretty much literally a combination of the princess from Ico and a colossus.

  5. I hope they make an extremely faithful remake and then everyone has that moment playing it when they go "oh, wait, this was never that good. I just liked FF7 cause I was 10 when it came out and I'd never played an RPG before."

    Which is why I hope the "remake" in the title means it's an actual remake, not a 100% recreation. And, really, the battle system is basically the only aspect of FF7 that they really could keep. Unless they wanna redraw all those isometric backgrounds.

  6. If they go without any huge breaks, and assuming 4 episodes per month (which still means 1 off week every two months), 15 episodes would be just under 4 months. A full 23 episodes like he's saying would go into June. Although if they wanted to be smart, maybe they could keep airing it into the Summer. The CW only programs 10 shows at a time, and they all stop in Summer. Maybe Legends of Tomorrow is a way for them to keep their ratings up and keep their superhero brand strong through Summer.

  7. Sigh.

    I would have liked to see it happen, but it was looking to be more of TRON: Legacy, which wasn't really the right direction, I don't think, especially because Kosinski was being kept as director. TRON needs a director who can better harness fun and emotion. Hell, I actually think I'd rather have someone like the Wachowskis direct TRON than Kosinski again.

  8. Seriously, imagine what the TPB will look like with a huge blank space.

    The artists have been told to make pages that can be easily split in half and then recombined in the trade, like what happens with digital-first comics now. IT's still awful
