Ubisoft Will Not Return to Creating Shorter Games Says CEO
Ubisoft will continue to focus on huge open-world games that take many hours to play, but has the goal to provide smaller-scale adventures within large worlds, says the company’s CEO.
Talking to gamesindustry.biz, Yves Guillemot said “No,” to the question of if the company would ever return to games of the scale of Assassin’s Creed Unity, in which the main story can easily be finished in around 15 hours. That’s a very brief trip compared to Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, which on average takes up 60 hours of people’s time.
See what we thought of Ubisoft's biggest Assassin's Creed ever in our Odyssey review.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake TGS Trailer Shows Turks, Summons, And More
Update 9/11: The latest trailer for Final Fantasy 7 Remake has been released as part of Square's Tokyo Game Show 2019 reveals, and it shows plenty of iconic moments from the 1997 original.
The trailer features key scenes from the game, including the Turks' encounter with Cloud and Aerith in the slums church, the encounter with Don Corneo, and the destruction of the Sector 7 plate. There are also plenty of hints to other famous moments; the squatting mini-game, summons in the form of Ifrit and Shiva, Tifa's 7th Heaven bar, and the motorcycle chase are all glimpsed here.
Importantly there are also glimpses at moments that appear to be brand new for the Remake. There's a paragliding segment (that could potentially be Avalanche's escape from the plate drop, rather than the original wire swing) and the reveal of what appears to be a new SOLDIER character on a motorbike. There's also another sighting of those ghost-like things we first saw at E3 2019.
iPhone 11 Pro Hands-On Impressions
Apple announced their 2019 iPhones at an event in the Steve Jobs Theater on their Apple Park campus in Cupertino, California today, and IGN was there for the unveiling. The iPhone 11 is the new standard-bearer for the company, and it boasts a Liquid Retina display, six new colors (including compelling newcomers like purple), and, of course, a new camera.
But I was much more interested in Apple's flagship smartphone and I got to try out the iPhone 11 Pro (see some photos of it in action below) for a few minutes after the event. It's the new top-of-the-line phone in the iPhone lineup, boasting a 5.8-inch OLED display in the regular Pro model, or a 6.5-inch OLED screen on the Pro Max. I checked out the former.

Marvel Makes a Profound Change to Doctor Strange
Marvel is relaunching the current Doctor Strange series in December 2019, and in the process introducing a wildly different status quo for Stephen Strange.
The new series, titled Doctor Strange: Surgeon Supreme, transforms the title character by healing his injured hands and restoring his surgical skills. Going forward, Stephen Strange will have to make use of both his magical abilities and his medical background to deal with a rash of demonic possessions.

Here’s How Long It Takes To Beat Borderlands 3
One of the biggest questions we get around every major game is "How long is it?" We asked two of our staff members who've completed Borderlands 3 to weigh in with their experiences of how many hours it took to burn through the campaign and roll credits for the first time.
James Duggan, Reviewer
At a brisk pace, it took me just over 30 hours to beat Borderlands 3’s campaign and the vast majority of its story content. Keep in mind that at some point during the review process I consciously stopped exploring in order to make sure the review went up on time, so I expect that this figure will be just under most people’s average playthrough. Borderlands 3’s missions are static in terms of their level, but difficult sections of towards the end of the story were still difficult even with my completionist attitude, so I imagine that some side mission content will be needed by most to clear the story.
