Two New Japanese RPGs Exclusively Coming To Xbox One

Stranger of Sword City Character Redesign 

The Xbox One will be getting new Japanese roleplaying games (JRPGs) from developer Experience Inc. The games are “Stranger of Sword City” and “Students of Round 2,” though the latter is still a working title and can easily be replaced in the future. Fans can expect “Strangers of Sword City” in 2016 and “Students of Round 2” in 2017.
Pure Xbox has confirmed that the games will be getting a Western release, so fans won’t have to make a petition to get the game. Both games will not be getting physical copies and will only be sold through Xbox Live. According to Experience Inc. executive Hajime Chikami, the move to digital was made since it’s hard to sell Xbox games in Japan and it’s easier to sell a digital game worldwide.
“Stranger of Sword City” was actually released on the Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation Vita. However, this isn’t just a simple HD remake as the game will be getting brand new character designs, after Chikami took the advice of some publishers the company has worked with before. Fans who prefer the original character designs will be able to switch between them when it comes out, while the dungeon-crawling gameplay will probably remain the same.
The second JRPG “Students of Round 2” still has some issues, as the company has been trying to nail the character designs for the final product. The gameplay will be that of a tactical RPG and might bear similarities with “Shining Force” or “Fire Emblem.”
The excitement for these two Japanese RPGS has made some wonder if the Xbox will be the new JRPG console, Lazy Gamer reported. It’s reportedly a bold statement, but it’s also a doubtful one since the PlayStation 4 and 3 are still getting exclusive RPGs to this day, like the upcoming “Tales of Zesteria.”
However, that seemingly won’t stop Microsoft. The company has been working hard on getting more Japanese audiences, and the fact that these two games are exclusively coming to the Xbox One is proof of that. The Xbox One will also be one of the homes for “Final Fantasy XV,” which is considered by many as one of the most anticipated games today.

Microsoft changes 'Outlook Web Access' to 'Outlook on the web'

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...
