[align=center][size=xx-large]Google Stadia becomes indefinitely free because of COVID-19[/size][/align]

[align=center]On April 8th, 2020, Google's Stadia allows users to have free access to Stadia that allows them to skip the $130 entry fee. They also allowed users to have Stadia Pro for 2 months.[/align]

[align=center]Stadia gave users a free-trial to its platform allowing them to play games on every device. They also included 9 free games to its deal. They're allowing people with an existing Gmail account to gain access to this new deal. This deal helps people practice social distancing as users are most likely to be at home while using Stadia.[/align]

[align=center]Stadia also changed their screen resolution because of the siege of players wanting to play Stadia before it's no longer free.[/align]

[align=center][quote]“For Stadia, we’ve always adjusted bandwidth use based on a variety of in-home and local internet factors. To reduce load on the internet further, we’re working toward a temporary feature that changes the default screen resolution from 4k to 1080p. The vast majority of people on a desktop or laptop won’t notice a significant drop in gameplay quality, but you can choose your data usage options in the Stadia app.” - Phil Harrison, Vice President for stadia.[/align]

Title: Final Fantasy VII: Remake is doing something right

[align=center][size=xx-large]Final Fantasy VII: Remake is doing something right[/size][/align]
[align=center]As previously mentioned [url=https://v3rmillion.net/showthread.php?tid=969732]in edition 140[/url], Resident Evil 3: Remake was a step-down from Resident Evil 2: Remake. Final Fantasy VII: Remake is not a step-down from it's previous game, Final Fantasy VI: Remake.[/align]

[align=center]On April, 10th, 2020, Final Fantasy VII: Remake was released. Some countries got early releases due to the pandemic, mainly the ones that got hit hard with the virus, got it early. Most of the stuff added to the new game is filler, but it doesn't feel like that due to how much detail that was stored into the remake. This detail includes, new settings, new side-quests, and expanded backstories for several characters. This extra filler added into the game adds a whole 15 hours of gameplay added into Final Fantasy VII remake.[/align]

[align=center]As most games do, parts of Final Fantasy VII: Remake become boring. Mostly during the first half of the game, where it mainly turns into conversations and unnecessary side-quests.[/align]

[align=center]Overall, Final Fantasy VII: Remake is one of the best remakes to come out this year due to its stunning attention to detail and it's storyline and it definitely isn't a step-down from its previous game.[/align]
