However, it doesn’t require devices with TrueDepth cameras, relying entirely on AI. Microsoft noted when it came to Mac, Windows, and Linux last year that it required a decent amount of video-processing power, so that may explain the delay before coming to mobile devices....

After far too long apart, Batman and Deathstroke will soon face off again in 2020, with a new story arc written by James Tynion IV and art by Tony S. Daniel and Danny Miki.

Much like the previous version, Final Fantasy VII remake has the same equipment system. Each character can equip one main weapon, which is unique, one armor, and an accessory. The thing about accessories is that compared to the other equipment, they don’t do much for the character. They boost the damage you can cause to your enemies, but the boost is minimal.
