Since they are going through the trouble of making an live-action adaptation they better give us a new GR game in the future...unless the new game would be a movie tie-in, in that case I pass, I prefer the original source material.
@MrMagic : I usually only watch dubs if the ENG voices are any good.
That said, I only seen the original version of the GBF anime and have yet to watch the dub but I assume its using the same ENG cast from the games, I find them quite alright.
This is also the first time Iโm watching episodes in full, as I only seen some clips before.
I'm really looking forward to Plucky Squire as always.
The only other game here that caught my eye was Pepper Grinder. In a way it feels like it could be a spiritual follow-up to Game Freak's Drill Dozer (only more fast-paced and challenging) that I never knew I wanted until now.
I'be lying if I said I didn't play AH for the thicc robot girls, lol. But the story and aesthetics were admittedly intriguing, though the gameplay did pretty much fall short.
I love this so much, my lady Yor vs. my lady Chun-Li!๐ฅฐ I also love how, outside of Fortnite, this is the closest we have yet to an official โShonen Jump vs. Capcomโ project.
Also, there better be Yor costumes for Chun-Li or we riot!๐ฅ
There is also the game's price to consider, certainly didn't help with things. Whats ironic is that Superstars actually sold more during some Black Friday sales than any time since launch. Maybe it should've been a $40 game from the start lol.
Tbh I worry less about his face (which I'm sure will be fixed with a future patch anyway) and more about his voice. Something about it sounds like the VA just reading the lines and barely putting any effort into them.
As expected. Take your time with this one Level-5, I'm waiting.
Also yeah, the 'post-2024' is just a mistranslation in the video. The website and tweets have been updated to "Coming in 2024". I think they just meant latter half of 2024 or something like that.
I said it before and I say it again: Embracer Group might as well change their name to the opposite of the word 'embracer'.
Or better yet, change their name to 'Going down' or something similiar because thats what EG are going through right now despite saying otherwise.
SS: KtJL will be dead ASAP after it releases next year.
Honestly, if it wasn't for Kevin Conroy's last performance as Batman being in here and all, I wouldn't bother waiting for this game and its full story (which doesn't really impress me as its practically just another "Evil Superman & Justice League" + "Suicide Squad fights alien invasion").
I wouldn't mind a live-action Persona movie/TV series as long as it is set in Japan and made by a Japanese studio. But sadly I bet that a "typical'" western adaptation would be more favored instead, in which case its a complete 'no thank you' from me.
Meh, okay list but "kids" is a very broad subject. Only like 3 or 4 of these games are what I would consider 'real' kids & family-friendly titles, the rest are too 'dark' and/or too difficult.
Saw Stellar Balde in the headlines, expected news like 'delayed to next year' (since it obviously won't come this year) but alas, I jumped too fast, no SB news.๐
@Athrum : Alongside F.I.S.T., atleast two other games announced during China Hero Project have also been released earlier: ANNO: Mutantionem (2022) and Hardcore Mecha (2020).
Its good that Peter is taking a temporary break. As for Miles, as fond as I'm of him, I rather prefer it if Insomniac could also focus on and introduce some other Spider-people who agruably haven't gotten that much attention in Marvel's media outside of the comics.
Cindy/Silk is definitely a good start and I was pleased at her cameo in the ending. I also hope in the next or future SM titles Insomniac can bring in Julia Carpenter (with Julia making her live-action cinematic debut in Madame Web next year I suspect that Marvel will have her for a lot more media appearances afterwards).

Re: Gravity Rush's Movie Adaptation Makes a Surprise Cameo at CES 2024
Since they are going through the trouble of making an live-action adaptation they better give us a new GR game in the future...unless the new game would be a movie tie-in, in that case I pass, I prefer the original source material.
Anyway, hope the movie ends up decent atleast.

Thats cool I guess. Gives me something to do in the chilly friday afternoon.

Re: Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising to Add Compulsory Crossover with NieR Automata's 2B
Cool. First Soulcalibur VI and now GF Versus: Rising. Next future fighting game appearance for 2B: Smash 6 (if nothing else before then).

They made the right call.

Re: E3 Is Officially Dead
It was only a matter of time so I'm not surprised at all.

Re: Free Radical Closure Confirmed as Embracer Shuts Studio Ahead of Christmas
Sad to see Free Radical vanish, wish all the best to everyone going forward.
Oh, and Embracer Group? As always, go [bleep] yourself.
Re: Poll: What's Your Most Anticipated PS5 Game of 2024?
In no order:
*Decapolice
*Grandblue Fantasy Relink
*Black Myth: Wukong
*Stellar Blade
*Tekken 8
There are of course more then these.
Re: Ori Dev's Action RPG No Rest for the Wicked Announced for PS5
I enjoyed the Ori games very much so I'm willing to give this a chance.
Re: Insane Looking PS5 Action Game Black Myth: Wukong Finally Has an August 2024 Release Date
Questionable (to say the least) studio aside, I have really been intrigued by this game for a long time now. Hope it plays as good as it looks.
Re: New Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, and More On the Way in Huge SEGA Announcement
Best TGA 2023 highlight for me. New SoR, new Golden Axe, and new Shinobi? Yes please!
Re: Guilty Gear Strive Shoots to Kill with Elphelt, New 3-Player Team Battles
If it wasn't for the name I never would have guessed it was Elphelt. I prefer her original design more.
Still waiting on Slayer and Jam.
Re: The First Descendant Touches Down on PS5, PS4 in Summer 2024

Re: Master Assassin Yor Battles Chun-Li in Street Fighter, Spy X Family Crossover Anime
I love this so much, my lady Yor vs. my lady Chun-Li!๐ฅฐ I also love how, outside of Fortnite, this is the closest we have yet to an official โShonen Jump vs. Capcomโ project.
Also, there better be Yor costumes for Chun-Li or we riot!๐ฅ

Heard of Blackpink like most, never heard of Kartrider Drift though. That one any good?
Re: SEGA Wonders Whether Releasing Sonic Superstars Next to Mario Was a Good Idea
The answer should be obvious Sega...
There is also the game's price to consider, certainly didn't help with things. Whats ironic is that Superstars actually sold more during some Black Friday sales than any time since launch. Maybe it should've been a $40 game from the start lol.
Re: Steve Fox's Face Is the Main Talking Point of His Tekken 8 Gameplay Trailer
