Re: Mortal Kombat 12 Teaser Trailer Hints at Series Reboot for PS5

Coolmusic

I mean, the seconds hand jumping five seconds past 12 could just indicate that May 12 tomorrow is the date of the formal MK12 reveal.

In anycase, considering MK11's DLC ending(s), a second reboot of the series' storyline isn't a surprise. I just hope the game has a fairly large base roster when it comes to the fighters.

Re: Fortnite Is Now Officially an Olympic eSport

Coolmusic

I'm not a fan of Fortnite myself but I'm not fuming over this news piece as its not exactly the "strangest thing" that ever happened to the gaming or olympic world imo (and admittedly, my long-since dead interest in the olympics, which frankly has been a joke for years now thanks to many other "serious" reasons, is also why I'm not 'going crazy' lol).

Overall this road for gaming is not something I personally would or will support, but considering how gaming has been slowly but surely trying to merge into the mainstream scene for decades, and coupled with the insane popularity of both Fortnite and the e-Sports scene, this news kinda makes sense in a way.
Plus, as BeerIsAwesome above mentioned, a few e-Sport games (DOTA 2, eFootball, and Rocket League) were an invitational part of the Commonwealth games last year, so something like this was a long time coming.

Re: Expect Some Animated Adaptations of PS5, PS4's Biggest Franchises

Coolmusic

I'm pretty sure a Gravity Rush movie was announced last year, though whether it is animated or live-action is unknown.

Still, I rather have a new Gravity Rush game. Don't really see a point in making the movie, besides gauging interest in the IP, considering how GR sadly has been put in the back corner along with certain other Sony IPs.

Re: MultiVersus Going Offline in June, Full Launch Planned for Early 2024

Coolmusic

Gameplay itself is fairly good imo but the devs pretty much ruined the game's rep with microtransactions among other bad choices, and the fact that Multiversus is still in beta phase obviously doesn't help either. I'd be surprised if the "Fighting Game of The Year 2022" (🀣) survives for atleast two weeks when it relaunch next year.

Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Merch Comes Out Swinging Ahead of PS5 Release Date Leak

Coolmusic

@get2sammyb: "The product description makes mentions of the β€œmultiverse”, but we think this is referencing the character at large, and not necessarily alluding to any Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 storyline secrets."

And you were right.
According to Hasbro the mention of multiverse (which is now removed), was mistakenly referencing the upcoming Across The Spiderverse movie.

Re: Sigh! For the Record, Sony Is Not Making a Superman PS5 Exclusive

Coolmusic

Another day, another awkwardness from this silly ActBlizzard drama, in this case Microsoft's lawyers, lol.

And while we are on topic, Superman has been needing his own solo game again for a long time now. The last Superman game was in the mid-2000's if I remember correctly and said game was just the, unsurprisingly, awful title based on the Superman Returns film.

Re: New Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi Game Announced

Coolmusic

Of all the pre-FighterZ fighting games within Dragon Ball games the Budokai Tenkaichi series is the one I remember the best.
I can only hope the new installment is good, especially after the success of FighterZ which I'm sure it will be (unfavourably) compared to, unfortunately, by a lot of people.
