Guerrilla Games‘ last game, PS4 exclusive Horizon Zero Dawn, was highly acclaimed, with many critics liking its story. Many of the studio’s fans may have expected it to create another narrative epic, but a new job listing reveals that Guerrilla may be making a major multiplayer game instead.

Sony Cloud Gaming Job Posting Lists “Putting Games on Any Device”
A Sony cloud gaming job posting has appeared online and it hints that the company’s games may be coming to something else besides your PS4. Cloud computing has long been a desired but difficult prospect for gaming companies. For example, the original Xbox One was originally intended to require an always-online connection and it caused some degree of backlash—it seems that gamers weren’t quite ready to solely depend on the Internet for their games.

Final Fantasy 12 The Zodiac Age: the best jobs for each character
Not all characters in the International Zodiac Job System are equal. Now the PC version is here, let’s revisit their complexities. Final Fantasy 12 is very much all about customization, and any of its cast of six main playable characters can technically fill any of the twelve job roles on offer – where in the context of this game, jobs equal traditional RPG classes slotting into a range of different categories.

Compared to some of the other systems in FF12 we’ve already covered on our tips page or how specific the process is to get the best weapon in the game this actually breaks down quite simply, however: there are clear-cut characters who are the best for certain roles, though looking at stats to figure out which should do what is still a little on the tedious side. … [Read more...] about Final Fantasy 12 The Zodiac Age: the best jobs for each character
