I saw Max's matches yesterday and I was a bit concerned that the game relies on auto combos and super dashes but he showed B-roll from the devs later on and it looked way more interesting. It seems like it's taking a lot from Granblue Fantasy Versus and BlazBlue Cross Tag rather then Guilty Gear (minus wall bounces) and Dragon Ball Fighterz.
Evo the last few years from a viewer's pov has been fantastic. And last year watching Maximilian Dood's livestream from the venue made it an easier watch cos now there I felt less need to keep hopping between the channels.
As for a Tokon release date, I doubt we will get it from Evo. More likely a State of Play or at the latest, the game awards.
@Contimaloris He's got to be an almost cast irony certainty. Marvel aren't burying the X-Men like what happened with Marvel Vs Capcom Infinite, Sony are making a Wolverine game as well. I wouldn't be surprised if he was announced this weekend.
@Dodoo There probably looking at their live service games like Helldivers, MLB, Marathon, Fairgames and possibly Marvel Tokon. They could also release ports of there big PS4 titles to entice people to get a PS5 for the sequels. I just hope they know what there doing.
I wondered this myself that it could be worth Sony's time to invest in several Japanese studios that are capable of making a few anime titles every couple of years, similar to what Bandai Namco do. But with them now buying a small stake in the company, maybe there more content to outsource any projects.
@Oram77 Not necessarily but it wouldn't surprise me. After all Sony were planning to do MP spinoffs like TLOU and the much rumoured Horizon MP game. Plus they did eventually sell Legends separately.
@Markatron84 I wonder if the title is an extension of the "east meets west" theme they have going on where they literally include both the Japanese and English title together.
@Korgon I'm so hyped for Evo, the last few years have been great and that was even before Marvel Tokon. All the best to you and I hope you have a great and safe trip.
The hype is real for me. I'll flip if they announce Wolverine at Evo and if they go further and announce Kratos as a guest character my head will explode.
@RBMango I don't know if you noticed but Matt Murdock appeared in the first trailer, he's stood at the window of his office on the far left of the stage.
It's about time a developer spoke our against Steam concurrents because far too many have this perception that Steam is the biggest platform so it automatically shows how well a game has done.
There's times that I want get back into Warframe but I always find it tricky to figure out what I'm meant to do. It's why I'm more interested in Soulframe since I can start that from the beginning.
People complain but more people have bought their more cinematic story driven games then they ever did the so called quirky games that many want them to return too.
@twitchtvpat While that's true, I really think it's worth the effort because there's too many really good games stuck on the system even from Sony's own studios.
This is the kind of thing I'd want if we ever had a Astro Karting game where you can make any kind of kart and bot you want. I guess a sort of spiritual sequel to ModNation Racers.
@Icey664 Tbh I'm glad she hasn't, she would have been subjected to so much hate that it isn't worth the role. I'm looking forward to seeing her in Blade Runner 2099.

Re: Invincible VS Looks Like Another Accessible Tag Fighter for PS5
Been made by the ex Killer Instinct devs should mean that the game's solid but budget presentation won't do it too many favours next to Tokon.

@DrClayman It's to encourage aggressive play otherwise your going to be limited to what you can do.

Re: Rumour: Sony to Put More First-Party PS5 Games on Xbox
@Oram77 I was using it as an example since there's not too many titles to name right now.
Re: Rumour: Sony to Put More First-Party PS5 Games on Xbox
@get2sammyb It's likely to be games like Helldivers, Lego Horizon, Marathon, Fairgames etc. Probably everything except their big tent pole titles.
Re: Sony Fighter Marvel Tokon Gets In-Depth Gameplay Video, Loads of New PS5 Footage
@Overmind I'd be surprised if we get different costumes because ArcSys rarely do it, who knows though.
Re: Sony Fighter Marvel Tokon Gets In-Depth Gameplay Video, Loads of New PS5 Footage
@Americansamurai1 Especially if Sony want it to be one of the main games at Evo next year.
I suspect the livestream will be going over this footage and giving more details.
Re: Evo 2025 Schedule: All Games, Times, and Livestreams
Thanks for putting this up.
Re: Microsoft Reiterates It's the Top Publisher on PS5 in Earnings Call
@Foxx_64740 And yet they won't update the subscriber numbers which is likely because they have stagnanted.
Re: Expect Marvel Tokon, Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8, Virtua Fighter Announcements at Evo
@Propaperpusher It's so you can play online crossplay.

That's a wonder for them. There usually one of the first to jump into the latest unpopular business practice.

It also emphasizes that MS own too bloody much.
Re: In Case You Missed It, Here's Some New Marvel Tokon PS5 Gameplay Ahead of Evo

Re: Oblivion Remastered Still Broken and Buggy on PS5, Even After Patch 1.2
Virtuoso did such and incredible job of remaking Oblivion that they even brought back the bugs.
Re: Sony's Horizon Franchise Has Sold a Wild 38 Million Units Worldwide
And yet people were saying the series was only carried by "bundles" and it's just an "industry plant."
Re: Official PlayStation Fighting Stick Named FlexStrike, Out in 2026
I suspect it'll be releasing the same day as Tokon. Either way...bring on Evo week.
Re: State of Decay 3 Is Another Upcoming Xbox Game Tipped for PS5
I wish they find room for Killer Instinct and Sunset Overdrive to move over.

Re: Sony Job Listing Implies More PS5 Exclusives Will Be Ported to Xbox, Switch
It's amazing that outside the social media bubble, this stuff never matters so it's pointless getting upset about it.
Re: Talking Point: Sony's Investing in Anime, But Why Isn't PlayStation Leading the Charge?
I wondered this myself that it could be worth Sony's time to invest in several Japanese studios that are capable of making a few anime titles every couple of years, similar to what Bandai Namco do. But with them now buying a small stake in the company, maybe there more content to outsource any projects.
Re: Marvel Cosmic Invasion Announces Two New Playable Characters You Might Not Expect
@KoopaTheGamer I agree. Hopefully Marvel Tokon has a good mix too.
Re: Ghost of Yotei Dev Dodges Question About Multiplayer Legends Mode, Is All in on Single Player
@Oram77 Not necessarily but it wouldn't surprise me. After all Sony were planning to do MP spinoffs like TLOU and the much rumoured Horizon MP game. Plus they did eventually sell Legends separately.
Re: Ghost of Yotei Dev Dodges Question About Multiplayer Legends Mode, Is All in on Single Player
I think there going to make Legends a standalone game.
Re: Marvel Tokon Could Have Up to 35 Characters, Fans Hypothesise

Re: Sony's Stunning PS5 Fighter Marvel Tokon Will Be Playable for the First Time at Evo 2025
@RBMango Daredevil and Blade would be great editions for me.
Re: Despite Full PS5 Release, Splitgate 2 Is Going Back to Beta to Launch Again in 2026
They should never have abandoned the first game, it's like Multiverus all over again.
Re: Sony's Stunning PS5 Fighter Marvel Tokon Will Be Playable for the First Time at Evo 2025
@Korgon I'm so hyped for Evo, the last few years have been great and that was even before Marvel Tokon.
All the best to you and I hope you have a great and safe trip.
Re: Sony's Stunning PS5 Fighter Marvel Tokon Will Be Playable for the First Time at Evo 2025
Is the background UI meant to resemble the blueprint from a comic book?
Re: Sony's Stunning PS5 Fighter Marvel Tokon Will Be Playable for the First Time at Evo 2025
The hype is real for me. I'll flip if they announce Wolverine at Evo and if they go further and announce Kratos as a guest character my head will explode.
@RBMango I don't know if you noticed but Matt Murdock appeared in the first trailer, he's stood at the window of his office on the far left of the stage.
Re: Today's Your Last Chance to Earn Points for Free PS Store Credit
I hope they replace Stars with a scheme that's integrated into the console and is more engaging.
Re: 'Everyone Focuses on Steam Concurrents, But PS5 Is by Far Our Biggest Community': Test Drive Unlimited Dev Hits Back
It's about time a developer spoke our against Steam concurrents because far too many have this perception that Steam is the biggest platform so it automatically shows how well a game has done.
Re: This PS5, PS4 Shooter Does Live-Service Right, Next Big Warframe DLC Out This Year
@tweaknmod Interesting read. A lot of long running live service games seem to have this problem.
Re: This PS5, PS4 Shooter Does Live-Service Right, Next Big Warframe DLC Out This Year
There's times that I want get back into Warframe but I always find it tricky to figure out what I'm meant to do.
It's why I'm more interested in Soulframe since I can start that from the beginning.

Re: The Mortal Kombat 2 Movie Doesn't Look Good, But That's Kinda Perfect
@Alps_Stranger I still wish we got more of his Judge Dredd.
Re: Sucker Punch Would 'Love' an inFAMOUS Trilogy on PS5
I would have Nixxes start porting these PS3 games over.

@J2theEzzo I'm still waiting on the Kotor games to be rereleased.
Re: Street Fighter 6's Sagat Gameplay Trailer Signals the Imminent Arrival of Year 3
@J2theEzzo Darth Vader and Yoda in Soul Calibur was a weird crossover.
@Rich33 Then everyone must be shrinking then lol.
Re: Street Fighter 6's Sagat Gameplay Trailer Signals the Imminent Arrival of Year 3
@J2theEzzo It probably makes the kicks more impactful.
