Square Enix has released the opening cinematic of Final Fantasy VII Remake way ahead of its April 10 release date. The five-minute movie blends some very familiar elements with plenty of brand new ones. It opens with a highly detailed look at the eclectic city of Midgar, taking the viewer on a journey through the bustling streets that are filled with construction workers and kids speeding around on bicycles. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/14/final-fantasy-7-remake-opening-movie"] The establishing shots are supported by newly orchestrated, breath-taking music, which swells to a peak as Aerith gazes up towards the starlit night sky. The camera pans out to reveal more breathtaking views of the vibrant metropolis before Cloud Strife makes his highly-anticipated entrance atop a high-speed train. This clip comes shortly after Square Enix released a batch of new screenshots from the highly-anticipated game, showcasing Tifa's moves in battle, as well as a look at the game's side quests, and, most importantly, some adorable and oddly proportioned summons. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=final-fantasy-7-remake-over-100-screenshots&captions=true"] The Final Fantasy VII Remake will invite players to jump into a hybrid battle system that merges real-time action with strategic, command-based combat, as they enter a world where the Shinra Electric Power Company – a shadowy corporation – controls the planet's very life force. Final Fantasy 7 Remake is now due to launch on April 10, 2020 for PS4 after its delay last month. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/14/final-fantasy-7-opening-movie-comparison"] For more on Final Fantasy 7 Remake, read about how its PS4 exclusivity was shifted to April 10, 2021, discover all of the major reveals and surprises in the latest trailer, and take a look at our complete Final Fantasy 7 Remake preorder guide.

Here's how Quibi describes the movie: "A rideshare driver (Maika Monroe) is thrown into her worst nightmare when she picks up a mysterious Hollywood Hills passenger (Dane DeHaan). Her heart-stopping ride with 'The Stranger' unfolds over 12 hours as she navigates a spine-chilling game of cat and mouse."

The Stranger falls under Quibi's "Movies in Chapters" umbrella. Each chapter will run around 10 minutes in length, with all of the episodes available for viewing in portrait or landscape modes via your cell phone. The Stranger is written, directed and executive produced by Veena Sud (Seven Seconds, The Killing). Zombieland: Double Tap's Avan Jogia will star alongside DeHaan and Monroe.

Bringing Dreams to PlayStation 5 would be on the cards next for developer Media Molecule if the game is successful on PlayStation 4.

This is what Dreams creative director Mark Healey said to VGC at a launch event for the game in London on February 13, 2020.

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/13/dreams-review"]

“Obviously at the moment we’re focused on PS4 and I would actually hope that it extends the life of the PS4 to be honest with you, then maybe when other companies start making games for it, the community will carry on making games for it, but if it’s as successful as we hope it is then it’s an obvious progression," he said about bringing Dreams to PS5.

VGC suggested that the backwards compatibility of the PS5 should make the PS4 version of Dreams automatically playable on Sony's next-gen console. “Well yeah, so I mean it works by default then, doesn’t it, that’s the thing,” Healey said. “I mean, we want to support it going forward, so we want to be there for the full story really.”

Healey added that as he considers Dreams a platform itself, "ideally in the future we'll migrate to whatever is relevant." But don't hold out for a PC version just yet, as while Healey said "that would be cool," he added "that's not something that's happening right now."

That's not to say a PC version of Dreams would never happen. "I think a lot of that depends on where the games industry goes in general, I suppose,” Healey remarked. It's also worth noting that there are rumours that Sony has recently changed tack when it comes to publishing its exclusives on other platforms, with a PC version of Horizon Zero Dawn apparently on the way.

[widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=14-community-creations-made-in-dreams&captions=true"]

Dreams allows you to tap into your imagination and create music, cooked breakfast art, and even whole games using its tools. But it also comes with a proper story mode that's worth playing through too.

It's actually out today on PlayStation 4. We have it a 9 in our Dreams review, saying that it's "a highly ambitious concept, and one that has been magically brought to life."

Scarce components have caused the manufacturing costs of the PlayStation 5 to rise to around $450 per unit, "forcing a difficult price-setting decision in its battle with Microsoft." As reported by Bloomberg, these high costs have caused Sony to take a "wait-and-see approach with PS5's price," which is different from past console launches as Sony usually sets the price the February of the release year, with mass production starting in spring. For comparison, the PlayStation 4 retailed for $399 USD and was estimated by IHS Markit to cost $381 USD to manufacture. If all things were similar with the PlayStation 5, Sony would have to have the PS5's price "be at least $470" to reach similar gross margin. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/07/next-gen-console-watch-how-powerful-ps5-xbox-series-x-may-be"] The biggest problem Sony is facing in regards to the PlayStation 5 is a "reliable supply of DRAM and NAND flash memory." One of the main reasons for the scarcity is that these parts are also in high-demand for smartphone makers. It's not unusual for consoles to be sold at or near a loss, as the games themselves and subscription services more than make up for it. However, sources claim that Sony is split on whether it should sell the console at a loss, if necessary, to match the Xbox Series X or find a way to make the PS5 profitable as it is. While the price may not be set, most of the PS5's components have been locked down, including the cooling system which is "unusually expensive at a few dollars per unit." Most cooling units for consoles cost less than a dollar, but "Sony opted to lavish more on making sure heat dissipation from the powerful chips housed inside the console isn’t an issue." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/01/next-gen-console-watch-ps5-and-xbox-series-x-news-leaks-analysis"] Sony has also said that the ongoing coronavirus outbreak has had no impact on PS5 production, unlike the Animal Crossing Nintendo Switch. Bloomberg's report also claims that Sony is planning on releasing a new version of PlayStation VR, which will go on sale at some point after the launch of the PlayStation 5 this Holiday season. Sony also believes that this console transition will be a more gradual one than previous generations. This is also due to the fact that many PlayStation 5 games will be available on the PlayStation 4.

Microsoft may very well wait until E3 to reveal the pricing of the Xbox Series X, so it may be a while, if Sony chooses to continue waiting, until pricing is known from the next PlayStation. Sony previously announced that it will once again not be attending E3. Sony's patient approach also extends to its plans on how it will fully reveal the PlayStation 5, as all we've seen so far is its logo, whereas Microsoft surprised the gaming world by showing off the Xbox Series X hardware at the Game Awards 2019.
