FF7 Remake: Tifa Isn’t Getting a Smaller Chest, Just a Proper Bra

This week, fans and media outlets reacted to a translated Tetsuya Nomura interview from Famitsu about Final Fantasy VII’s Tifa with very conflicting interpretations. In the interview, Nomura is said to have been told by Square Enix’s ethics department to “restrict” or “constrict” Tifa’s chest. Twinfinite has the full interview, and has an editor’s note reading “the context and wording indicted clearly that this refers to the tightness and design of Tifa’s clothing, not to her chest size.” I’ll take an educational approach as to why this is not only appropriate when interpreted correctly, but realistic, further down in this article.

Yes, the Netflix MCU Is Cancelled

Now that Jessica Jones Season 3 debuted on Netflix last Friday, the era of the Marvel/Netflix MCU has come to an end.

Yes, Jessica Jones is cancelled. Daredevil is cancelled. Luke Cage and Iron Fist? Cancelled. Punisher too. And The Defenders just never made it past its first mini-season; a second season of that team-up series was never even attempted.

Keanu Reeves Talks About What’s Cool in Cyberpunk 2077

Keanu Reeves shook the house at Microsoft’s E3 2019 showcase, after the latest trailer for Cyberpunk 2077 revealed he would be playing Johnny Silverhands, a rebellious rock star and the player character’s companion during at least some of the game. IGN sat down with Reeves, who also recently starred in John Wick 3, to talk about why he wanted to be a part of CD Projekt Red’s next big role-playing game.

“Part of the attraction for me was that not only was it my face, but they were asking me to perform a role, and a cool one,” Reeves said. “I really love the format of the game and some of the questions it asks, what’s revealed, and what it demands of the player. There’s some interesting choices that have to get made.”

Doom Eternal Won’t Have ‘Traditional’ Deathmatch Multiplayer

Doom Eternal won’t have traditional (deathmatch) multiplayer. Its offerings are strictly the 2 v 1 Battlemode announced at Bethesda’s E3 conference; but by all accounts, this is a very good thing.

“No traditional multiplayer mode. Battlemode is our primary multiplayer mode,” says Executive Producer Marty Stratton. “The cool thing about it is it’s ripped straight from Doom; it’s the combat players want and love, you’re familiar with the gameplay, playing as a Slayer.”

Although Doom 2016’s single player mode was fantastic, the team learned a lot from its not-particular-well-received multiplayer mode.

“When you look back to Doom 2016”, says Stratton, “we kind of did something more traditional. Skill vs skill twitch vs twitch. It didn’t have any of the components of Doom that people loved from the campaign. It didn’t have the slayer or demons in a meaningful way. It just kind of fell flat so we really flipped the script on it and decided we need to develop this internally, we need to pull it from what Doom is all about, demons vs slayer.”

Harry Potter: Wizards Unite Wand Guide: How To Make Your Favorite Characters’ Wands

Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, Niantic’s follow-up to Pokemon Go, is now available on iOS and Android. It’s a dense game; Pokemon Go players will notice a number of parallels to Go’s mechanics, for example. One of the most iconic things about the Harry Potter universe is also the trickiest: wands. In Wizards Unite, you customize your own wand (in the books, the wand “chooses the wizard”). You can choose from wood types, pick a core, change the wand’s flexibility, and then select the length. Having so many choices can be intimidating!

If you’ve read the Harry Potter books or watched the movies, you might have a passing understanding of the series’ wand lore. In short, different materials are suited for different types of magic, like charms or defense (among other things), and witches and wizards have a kind of bond with their wands. While your wand in Wizards Unite doesn’t affect anything in the game, it can still be fun to fully immerse yourself in the role of a witch or wizard. In that spirit, we’ve gathered all the details we can about famous Harry Potter characters’ wands so you can match yours to your favorite witch or wizard.

For the purposes of this feature, we’ve referenced Pottermore for each character’s wand materials and length. Some characters have complete wand information, but for those who don’t, usually the flexibility is missing–so have fun with that one and make it your own! There are also some popular characters whose wands we know nothing about, so we’ve included some of them here for your reference.

Harry Potter: holly wood, phoenix feather core, “reasonably supple” flexibility, 11 inches

Ron Weasley’s first wand: ash wood, unicorn hair core, 12 inches

Ron Weasley’s second wand: willow wood, unicorn hair core, 14 inches

Hermione Granger: vine wood, dragon heartstring core, 10 and 3/4 inches

Rubeus Hagrid: oak wood, 16 inches (broken)

Toy Story 4 Ending Explained

This ending explained contains full spoilers for Toy Story 4.

Toy Story 3 seemed like a perfect ending for Woody, Buzz, and the rest of the gang. Andy went off to college, but he left his beloved toys in the gentle hands of pre-schooler Bonnie, implying that his toys had many years of playtime left ahead of them.

Toy Story 4 director Josh Cooley admitted that when it came to approaching a fourth installment, “We had the same questions everybody else has right now: ‘I thought you guys were done.’ But we had those questions five years ago when we started… We love the end of Toy Story 3, and feel like that’s the completion of Woody and Andy’s story. But there was more Woody story to tell.”

Borderlands 3 Isn’t Trying to Be Anything It’s Not

Borderlands may have been one of the original loot shooters, but it’s a more crowded market now. While series like Destiny and The Division have cropped up and injected the genre with innovative new ideas, Borderlands isn’t jumping on any other bandwagon. Developer Gearbox isn’t trying to ape or even incorporate most of those new ideas into the upcoming game. What I played and learned of Borderlands 3 wouldn’t be mistaken for a service-game. It looks and feels like the Borderlands you already know – but better.

In a new demo at E3 2019, I played as Moze, the gunner character who specializes in all things packing firepower, including her mech suit, Iron Bear. If you play with friends, they can even hop on the back of your mech and use a turret as you take them for a ride.

How to Get More Spell Energy in Harry Potter: Wizards Unite

Harry Potter: Wizards Unite is all about casting spells and that requires spell energy. Here’s how you make sure you’re always ready to wield your wand by managing and getting more spell energy in Niantic’s latest game.

How Spell Energy Works

When you walk around the world different icons will spawn on the map. From the Dark Arts and Hogwarts School to Magizoology and the Wonders of the Wizarding World: these lost objects, creatures, and people need you to send them back to their rightful place that means casting a spell to remove the confoundables keeping it there. This means tracing quickly on your screen and using some spell energy.
