Diego Luna set for huge role in ‘Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One’

Variety reports Diego Luna (Elysium, Milk, Y Tu Mamá También) will star opposite Felicity Jones in Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One. Nothing official has been announced, though Variety claims the deal is all but finalized. The actor is best known for more dramatic roles, though he has the chops for a wide range of genres. While his face will already be familiar to American audiences, Luna should give Star Wars even more international appeal. He recently played Manolo in the excellent animated flick The Book of Life.

At the recent Star Wars Celebration, it was revealed that Rogue One would be part of a separate anthology to the main story, and be a much grittier take on the Star Wars universe than fans are typically used to. Rogue One is going to take place between Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, and focus on a group of rebels attempting to steal plans for the Death Star.

Here is a description of what was shown off at the celebration last month:

A trailer was then shown that feature Alec Guinness’ dialogue explaining who the Jedie were as a camera sweeps through a forest, panning up as a TIE Fighter flies over. As the camera left the streets you see the original Death Star in orbit around a planet and voices screaming like they’re in a battle.

It’s unclear what role Luna will play, so we’ll have to wait for official confirmation from Disney and Lucasfilm. Other actors expected to be in Rogue One include Ben Mendelsohn, Riz Ahmed and Sam Claflin. The film, which is being directed by Gareth Edwards, is scheduled for a Dec. 16, 2016 release,

Star Wars: Battlefront will not have classes

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo When it comes time to pick your gear and weaponry in DICE’s upcoming relaunch of  Star Wars: Battlefront , you won’t be sifting through classes or class-specific stuff. That’s because the new  Battlefront has no class. I don’t mean that in a belch during dinner at a fancy restaurant kind of way, either. I mean you won’t be picking stuff like Engineer, Assault or Support before you roll onto the battlefield. In an interview with OXM , as summed up by the magazine’s sister site  Games Radar , Design Director Niklas Fegraeus indicated that classes are out. You’ll be able to pick and choose between unlocked weapons and gear freely and build to your own style. Furthermore, Fegraeus also indicated that  Battlefront will not feature the five-person squad feature that  Battlefield  offers. Instead, players will run as partners, a group of two system that lets players stick together, appear on one another’s HUDs and spawn besi...

Grandia II confirmed for an HD re-release on Steam

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo GungHo Entertainment of America apparently has the results of its recent customer survey , and Grandia II  is the lucky winner scoring the first HD remaster out of it. The report comes to us through GameSpot where the company claims that the game was given “enthusiastic” support. Grandia II was originally released on the Dreamcast in 2000 to quite a large amount of fanfare, and it arguably remains the second most popular RPG on the console after Skies of Arcadia . I played the PlayStation 2 version in 2002 way back when, and I wasn’t too impressed. However, the Grandia franchise is also home to that classic style of JRPG storytelling that only gets better with age. Maybe I’ll have to dedicate some time to this cult classic whenever GungHo gets around to publishing it. President of GungHo America Jun Iwasaki chimed in on the response. “With the rise of digital downloads, it is especially important that classic g...

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly ...
