The voice actor of Sora, Haley Joel Osment, is currently facing a DUI
Charge for marijuana possesion as well as drunk driving. Osment is underaged to drink, which makes the charges even worse.
He could face up to 6 months in jail, and the bail price will be $15,000. Jane Robinson, attorney, says that the likliness
of him going to jail is low.
It was declared by Tetsuya Nomura himself that he will most likely release all of his future games on the
PS3 console. All of Nomura's games that will release in the next few years will definetely be on the new gaming system; Tetsuya
Nomura seems to have much confidence in the Sony company.
Haley Joel Osment was hospitalized on Wednesday, July 18th after a serious car crash
took place. It was about 2:00 AM when the accident happened, Osment was driving when he lost control and plowed into the nearest
brick pillar.
Osment's car flipped over and slid a little further down the street. The accident was described as "messy",
and Osment was rushed to the hospital.
Cops speculate whether or not Osment drank that night, and they refuse to reveal any evidence of him possibly
drinking.
Haley Joel fractured his Scapula(Shoulder Blade), and broke a few ribs in the process of the accident. Minor
cuts and abbrasions were on his body, and Osment will have to get a new car.
Haley Joel Osment is the voice of Sora for both Kingdom Hearts, as well as the voice of Takashi from Cartoon
Network's "IGPX."
As a young child he played Forest Gump Junior in "Forest Gump", along with the young child who says the
ever-so-famous line in "The Sixth Sense."
In conclusion, Osment appears to have no life-threatening injuries.

1. Playstation 3 Coming Soon?
It has been decided that Americans will get
their hands on the trusty Play Station 3 starting November 17th of this year. Japan will receive it November 11th. Kingdom
Hearts III will most likely be on PS3 according to a recent interview with Tetsuya Nomura. As for the price of the play station
3 gaming system? Oooh... Not too pretty. I suggest you start saving now. A 20 GB gaming system will cost $499 dollars. Not
enough memory? No big deal. PS3 is also being made in a 60 GB model, but it will cost $599. You may not be interested, but
if you want that KH III, you're going to have to want that new Playstation Model.
What are the features that highlight PS3? Well, the
creator says it will be able to run playstation 2 and playstation 3 games, DVDs, and will have excelent graphics.
The system is compatible with EYETOY, KEYBOARDS, RECHARGABLE CONTROLLERS, and PERIPHERALS.
The PS3 will have a WIRELESS controller, and it will be able to run 24 hours straight
without being recharged. It needs about 1-3 hours to recharge completely. This means all you have to do is plug it in before
you go to bed, and it's ready to play the next day!
Playstation Experts garuntee a fantastic gaming experience.
"PlayStation 3 will allow for uber-realism when it comes
to detailing character movements, real-time rendered landscapes, and all of the other visual goodness we simply love to see
border the line of reality."
Final Fantasy 7
We will later search the web for the demo PS3 testers saw, but here is what they
have to say about the Final Fantasy game.
"Anyone who's played Final Fantasy VII (and honestly, if
you haven't, what the hell's wrong with you?) is no doubt familiar with this scene: Aeris strolls through the streets of Midgar,
the camera zooms out until the encircling Mako reactors come into view, then cut to a train roaring into the station and out
hops spikey-haired Cloud Strife, big-ass Buster Sword in hand and all. Now take that and imagine what it would look being
rendered by a GPU like the PS3's RSX , and you'll likely get an idea for what we saw. Though blocky character models were
an unmistakable touch to FF7, it was really something to see Aeris and Cloud digitally remastered and looking like actual
people." Turns out, this was just a paragraph describing the Demo. Square Enix has not yet announced the
actual game, but why else would they make a top secret trailer for it???
Below is the official Technical Trailer for FF VIII.
Posted June 19
Below are actual screenshots from the FF 7 game on PS3.
They are ETS screenshots. NO STEALING.

The advancement of animation: Before and After
This is a cut image of Aerith in the exact same position and the exact same
place as the new screenshot below. Look at the advancement in animation. This all took place in less than 20 years! Sure,
the one on the left is looking pretty bad. It's fuzzy, rough-edged, cheap, and dull-coloured. But that was considered fine
animation when the game had just came out. A scarce amount
of people, but still an amount of people, play this game still. Most likely they
do for Tetsuya Nomura's excelent story plot, rather than the graphics. The
main proof is that if people still love that classical FF7 game now, imagine
how many people will love the new FF7. Yeah, a big number. And better
yet, they'd probably like it better because of the amazing graphics displayed
on ps3.
Sure. Aerith's face isn't shown in this image, but it is safe to say that it
is much better than the last one. It has smooth edges, excelent lighting, and looks very real, but still keeps the exciting
franchise of Final Fantasy fresh. Now, for those of you who still play the old Final Fantasy 7 or know someone that does,
can you imagine them or yourself when you get your hands on this baby?
I'd be shaking, let me tell you that. Final Fantasy may have been released in a time period
where it's not best suited to the story line, but that did not stop Tetsuya Nomura at all. Think about it. You're sitting
at your computer now, excited about this game, when in ten-thirty years you might be excited to see a 3rd version, or at least
your "future kids" will.
