My man Raven is back at last!! HYPE!🔥🔥🔥
TK8's first newcomer Azucena is a turn-off, I'm team tea all the way lol. Lame joke aside she looks fun to play, and seems silly in a good way. Also find her a little more interesting compared to Katarina (who was TK7's first revealed newcomer back then if I remember correctly).
Jesus, these naming schemes.🤪 I enjoyed playing the first game (or one of its 5+ re-releases, don't remember which one), so I look forward to this one.
@CutchuSlow : get2sammyb beat me to the answer ^^ but yeah, chances are Mihoyo has quietly cancelled the Switch version and are simply waiting for the Switch successor, especially now considering all the recent rumors of said console flying around.
LSA was so "cool" when first revealed way back then, but now...>_>.
I'm still willing to give it a chance but I doubt the same excitement will be there, and thats of course assuming the game ever gets released anytime soon in the future.
@Jaz007 @jmac1686: At the top of my head I know that F.I.S.T and ANNO: Mutantionem were definitely released. Whether they delivered or not is a matter of opinion, despite some few notable flaws I really enjoyed both games.
@get2sammyb: Official ChinaJoy 2023 trailer has arrived. https://www.gematsu.com/2023/07/lost-soul-aside-chinajoy-2023-trailer
A PC version of the game that utilizes NVIDIA GeForce RTX is also confirmed, and the description no longer mentions a PS4 version suggesting it is no longer planned.
Still no release date unfortunately.
This is one of the most amusing stories I ever read.😄 I hope that mask somehow makes a future appearance in a Neir sequel or any other work Taro-sensei may develop.
Never heard of him until now but good for him I guess.
Looking at his IMDB credits his roles within animation & games includes (but not limited to):
*Regulus in Thermae Romae Novae
*Sekido in Demon Slayer
*Monk, Amino, and additional voices in Junji Ito Maniac: Japanese Tales of the Macabre
*Father Pucchi and Pale Snake in Jojo's Bizzare Adventure
*Wolfgang in Sword Art Online the Movie: Progressive - Scherzo of Deep Night
*Yasutaka Shirakaba in Lost Judgement - The Kaito Files
*Yami in Blind Fate - Edo No Yami
*Ratatoskr in God of War: Ragnarök
@z0d15g0d : I hope that doesn't happen, hopefully Injustice will be part of the Elseworlds label (which basically contains any project that doesn't fit into Gunn's dumb shared media universe plans).
I didn't watch the Xbox showcase but hearing of a brand new action-adventure (presumably) from Capcom is a good surprise.
Gives me vibes of Okami (only more 'realistic') which is good.
Easily the best highlight (alongside MK1 gameplay) of the showcase so far. Sonic 4 can only cry in the corner, wishing it could have been like this instead of the sadsack it really is.
Inserting old "Escape from the City" joke here, lol.
@Khayl: Uness I recently missed something, I don't think he's actually been 'officially' sentenced yet. The other articles (including from The Gamer) all state that it's due to be finalised on the 7th July.
Thanks for the review, having recently tried the demo I mostly enjoyed what I played. I hold off getting SF6 for the moment though because there are already too many current and upcoming games for me to buy. And knowing Capcom there will eventually be atleast one new 'edition' of SF6 of some kind, whether we wanna believe it or not lol. Fortunately they will just let us upgrade to that latest version.
Doesn't surprise me. Most Chinese announced 3D games, especially those aimed for PC and/or home consoles, that 'look too good to be true' are as common as you would think.
More then usual they either never get released or do get released but end up being nowhere near as promising and satisfying as their initial trailer(s) suggested (there are some exceptions of course).
@Jtheripper : The Chinese voice trailer is way better imo. Don't understand why Push Square didn't add it alongside the (laughable) English ver. as well.
S-E's answer to Splatoon and Ninjala with a bit of Fortnite vibe. I'm interested so I watch how this one goes, but knowing how S-E is, I will also be very wary.
Personally I would have ditched the numbers a long time ago but we already gotten this far and ditching them now or anytime soon in the future will only cause confusion on what is or isn't 'mainline'.
And like a few others above me here, I also very much disliked it when SE gave numbers to 11 and 14. Same thing when they did this to Dragon Quest as well.

Re: Poll: Was Capcom Showcase 2023 All Killer, or Mostly Filler?
Only the AJ Trilogy was the highlight for me, and MMX DiVE Offline version was a nice surprise.
Rest was nothing special.

Neat! Looking past its flaws I quite enjoyed the original game.
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced at Summer Game Fest 2023?
It was okay, but only MK, Sonic and Yakuza were the highlights for me personally.
Re: Sonic Superstars Is a New Spin on 2D Hedgehog Action, Hits PS5, PS4 in 2023
Easily the best highlight (alongside MK1 gameplay) of the showcase so far. Sonic 4 can only cry in the corner, wishing it could have been like this instead of the sadsack it really is.

@get2sammyb: Yeah thats why I wrote 'two of these' (Kratos and Lara).
Re: Street Fighter 6 Fans Are Having Fun Creating Famous PS5, PS4 Characters for World Tour
Should point out that only two of these shown here in the article are PS/video game characters, rest are from movies, comics/manga, or books.
In anycase, I take these celebs creations any day over those "you-know-what" creations.

Re: Killer Cyborg Bryan Fury Loves to Laugh in Tekken 8 Reveal
Welcome back good old Bryan.^^
Btw, appearently this trailer got released too early and Harada got pissed at Bandai Namco Europe for it.

Re: Foamstars Is Square Enix's Answer to Splatoon on PS5, PS4
S-E's answer to Splatoon and Ninjala with a bit of Fortnite vibe.
I'm interested so I watch how this one goes, but knowing how S-E is, I will also be very wary.
Re: The Plucky Squire Looks Absolutely Wonderful in New PS5 Gameplay Trailer
One of the few highlights in the showcase. I known about this game for awhile but I was still happy to see it again.^^
Re: If You Like Journey, You Need to See Sword of the Sea on PS5
One of the few newcomers in the showcase that I found interesting. I also loved ABZU, The Pathless and Journey so I keep an eye on this.
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Swings Back with Stunning PS5 Gameplay Trailer
Game looks fine but...something about that Venom suit looks awkward. The smooth texture just makes it even more apparent.
Re: Poll: Was This Sony's Best PlayStation Showcase Yet?
The showcase was a bore. Putting aside the titles I already knew about there were only like 2 or 3 games I found interesting.
