Star Ocean 5 Title Card 

During the Tokyo Game Show in Japan, Square Enix made an important announcement for the latest entry in the long-running "Star Ocean" RPG franchise, "Star Ocean 5: Integrity and Faithlessness." Fans from Japan will be delighted to know that the upcoming action role-playing game developed by Tri-Ace will be available for grabs in the country beginning Feb. 25, 2016.
According to Gear Nuke, the announcement of the release date during the TGS SCEJA Conference came along with an awesome new trailer, allowing fans to have a sneak peek of what's in store for them from the game. And true enough, the game looked promising. The game is graphically well-made and the characters, designed by Akira Yasuda, look spectacular and depicts that of the classic era of Japanese role playing games.
A report in a separate post from Gear Nuke also says that the fifth installment of "Star Ocean" will not be doing a repeat of its predecessor - the fourth installment - which is said to be the lowest point of the series. "Star Ocean 5's" Producer Shuichi Kobayashi assured fans that they will be bringing back the feel of the game that was seen in the first three of the series and even make it like a direct sequel.
"Story-wise and visual-wise, number five is going to have the feel of a direct sequel to Star Oceans one, two, and three. It'll be very different from Star Ocean 4," Kobayashi tells Gear Nuke.
While Japanese fans are excited already for the release next year, those who are residing outside the country will have to stay tuned for updates as there have been no announcements made on the international release schedule. According to Tech Times, even though the game isn't as popular in America as it is in Japan, it doesn't mean that it has no fan base in the Western population. But perhaps Square Enix isn't just worried about it yet or they're just taking their time.
Considering "Star Oceans 5: Integrity and Faithlessness" is still set for February next year, it can only mean that international release will be later than that.

The branding gurus are really earning their wages down Redmond way Outlook for the Web's new weather-enabled calendar app 14 5 Aug 2015 at 02:58,  Simon Sharwood Fresh from showing glimpses of the next-generation Outlook Web Access client in a preview of Exchange Server 2016 , Microsoft has now detailed just how the new version of the browser-bound Outlook will work. There's a new name for starters: “Outlook Web Access” is now “Outlook on the web”. Those marketers sure are earning their wage! Microsoft saying all the usual stuff about the revision making you more productive. The feature touted as making the greatest contribution to that cause is the new “Action toolbar” that “provides quick access to the most common commands, whether you are clearing out your inbox, replying to an email, or adding an event to your calendar.” One of the things you'll see on the toolbar, depicted below, is the “Sweep” command. That's come from Outlook.com and “provides a simple set of act...

Microsoft upgrades its Surface tablets to Windows 10

By
Consumers interested in buying one of Microsoft's Surface tablets will now find it with Windows 10 preinstalled. Microsoft's  online page  for its lower-cost Surface lineup shows that the tablet now comes with Windows 10 Home edition. The page for the pricier and beefier Surface Pro 3  indicates that they're outfitted with Windows 10 Pro edition. Microsoft has been on a tear to push out Windows 10, partly to make up for the poor response to Windows 8 and partly to get as many Windows users as possible all on the same platform. The company has been offering Windows 10 as a free upgrade to Windows 7 and 8.1 users for the first year. Last Thursday, Microsoft announced that the new OS was  running on 14 million devices  since its official launch the previous day. Now the challenge is to get PC and tablet makers to outfit their new devices with Windows 10. Microsoft certainly would want to lead the way, so it's natural for its own Surface tablets to now be sporting W...
