    Come to think of it, the Tekken team bringing back Heihachi from the dead (for the 3rd, 4th time?) isn't that shocking given that they brought back plenty of characters whose deaths got retconned from Tekken 2-3 for Tekken 5, since T4 didn't do so well so they ended up going back to the roots by making gameplay be more similar to T3 and bringing back a good amount of old characters.

    Ultimately, if good money's on the line then they'll find a way to bring back X character as playable one, either through flashbacks or they'll just retcon their deaths.

    In that situation at the time, certain characters like Bruce and Baek was demanded to return due to Tekken 3 was considered as a "soft-reboot". Also, considered Tag 1 was once created to be canon to retcon Tekken 3 events until sidetracking to be non-canon.

    Right, forgot that they wanted/considered Tag 1 to be canon at one point in time. From what I remember, Unknown originally was considered to be a relative/cousin of Jun, right? Or that may have been just a fan speculation.

    Ya know, with KT getting more employee's there's a small hope in me that they might announce and make a third game for the IP that in this year is celebrating its 10th anniversary. Unlikely but if there's a time for it to happen, then that time is now.

    Team ninja is a bit sensitive when it comes to sequel aka NG3 and DOA6, now plan is dump new ip and run and make new ip again

    Well, you're not really wrong, most games that KT made during the 2017-2019 period had flaws to them. Nights of Azure 2, while kind of fun is obviously an (imo) unfinished product that could've been more if the devs were able to work more on it. The success of DW: Origins and Ninja Gaiden's resurrection are positive signs plus the increase in employee's might mean that big(ger) things are happening at KT this year.

    They have quite a few IPs that they have that are just flat out dormant and I didn't have any hope towards Nights of Azure receiving a third game after the lackluster sales the second game had (even less hope than what I had/have towards DOA) but this really might be the year where that IP could either receive an announcement for a third installment or a collection of the first 2 games or a remaster of the first one.

    Ok, so for the Sigma games, Sigma comes BEFORE the number, and for the Black games, the Black comes AFTER the number... right? Anyone else keep getting this shit wrong? XD

    I already memorized which type of pie each persona of Lisa prefers, I need to get this right too.

    Seems to be that way. This is the first time a numbered NG title got a "black edition/version" but from what I've seen so far for Black the number comes first and for Sigma the number definitely comes after, probably because one is an edition of the base game (NG, NGB, NG2, NG2B) and the other is altered version released to another platform/console (NGS, NGS2).
    ChaolanLegacy
    There are some people already disappointed that 2 Black doesn't have as many opponents/enemies to fight as the OG game or they aren't as aggresive, to which my answer would be something like "This is a UE5 game, there's only so much it would be able to handle before framerate's gonna go and shit itself". From what I've seen so far they tried to find the middle ground with 2 Black and imo they seem to have succeeded.

    that we've seen for the past 8-10 years even Sigma 2 can be considered a quite good game compared to those, and 2 Black from what I've seen so far beats Sigma 2 90% of the time in terms of....basically everything (coming from a guy who played Sigma 2 back in the day to death).

    to be fair they never said "this is original Ninja Gaiden 2 with Sigma 2 extras" they said it's inspired by the original game and they reworked a few things to make play more similarly to original

    Well at least in their Steam description for the game it says "The world of “NINJA GAIDEN 2” remastered with rich visuals!", I guess "The world of" is what makes the difference, lol. Remove the first three words and its untrue because recent findings show it really is Sigma 2 with a visual upgrade and some tweaks to make it more like NG2. Yeah basically a middle ground. Maybe more like Sigma 2 Black? lol

    Holy, 80 euros for DW: Origins on Steam? I'ma be real, I'm still surprised that with the prices going up for everything video games seemed to stay "relatively" cheap in comparison and even this price is "somewhat cheap" compared to the prices that newly released games could have these days but, iirc KT is the first one to do this just for the base game and its like, after the negative reception of DW9?
    ChaolanLegacy
    ChaolanLegacy
    Even if Origins' demo was well received and the game seemed to have good ratings and seems pretty fun too, still, 80 euros for a DW game no matter how good it is is a bit much, better off waiting for a sale on it imo.

    If Wuthering Waves gets themes/osts like this one then the game shall (almost) achieve its full potential, outbeating Genshin in every category possible, maybe with the exception of story.
    ChaolanLegacy
    So Rebirth of Souls did end up becoming an arena fighter. Not surprised and just a little bit disappointed but at the same time I have no issues with arena fighters and it has been more than 10 years since Bleach saw a non-gacha console/PC game so I'm down.

    After months of getting (mostly) mediocre games for free for the basic subscription on Playstation, Streets of Rage 4 is going to be one of the free games this month, definitely worth picking it up.

    I hardly played Streets of Rage back in the day, but ever since I bought 4, I loved it! I even played 2 on emulators and that was fun to play.

    Occassionally, I stream survival runs for the game at random.

    The survival mode is crack.

    @Awesmic Yeah, Survival Mode is definitely crack and unlocking the new moves for each character and their retro appearances is super fun!

    Well, I hope that prices regarding games and microtransactions won't get expensive at least for a little while!
    Riot comes in with League and making a good HoF Faker skin for Ahri for 250$ and double the amount for his signature alongside it probably saying something like:
    "WELCOME BACK TO THE STAGE OF HISTORY"

    Even though I don't like a decent amount of practices that Nintendo has when it comes to the content creators and consumers of their games, there's one thing that I have to give them credit for, sticking with the Switch and not upgrading it for years was probably the best move they ever did since the creation of the NES.

    What's best about Nintendo is they let the ESRB Ratings do the works for Third Party Games without the publishers themselves telling Third Party Companies on what is or isn't allow on their consoles unlike Sony (Playstation), Microsoft (Xbox), & Valve (Steam). Which end result is we get plenty of Ecchi/Lewd content, some games with nude breast (except JP because CERO).

    So what is most people's opinion on the last day of a specific game's tournament being top 6 instead of top 8? I understand that it was made this way in order to keep things running smoothly/so that they don't go overtime but personally this just makes me not want to watch the matches at all and since I don't really care much about pools/top 32 I don't think that I'll be watching too many tourney matches from now on.
    ChaolanLegacy

    The only exception for me would be if I want to steal tech from players or if I want to learn a character that I can't really get a grasp on without checking on how top players are using them.
    ChaolanLegacy
    While I dislike the idea for fully priced videogames/fighting games having battle passes and in-game currency that you can't obtain for free, the amount of money and time it takes to make videogames now (goes double for good ones) makes them a good way to keep supporting the game further with content while also getting support from people who want these items and/or really like the game.

    @HHH816 To be fair though: 1. it is only a 30 second video so not a lot can be included in it.
    2. Ryu is the main character of the Ninja Gaiden games, a good 80-85% of the games' story focuses on him and his enemies andd not on the DOA characters.
    ChaolanLegacy
    ChaolanLegacy
    @HHH816 Heck, he'd be the only playable character in these games if it were not for the Sigma's and RE. It's like how Ryu seems powerful enough to defeat the strongest of fiends but in DOA it is mostly the other ninjas who end up making the final move/decision/action with focus on other characters as well, because he is a "guest" character like how the DOA characters are "guest" in NG.

    Got a few second of sonia but no ayane, seems really sus.

    Looking back at it now, it isn't really surprising that Blazblue Dark War was abandoned/discontinued early on. With the relatively big delay from early release announcement, gameplay that ultimately didn't offer THAT many new things in the market at the time, not being tied to an IP like Dragonball that would do the hard carrying and it only releasing in Japan it seemed like it was doomed to fail sooner than later.
    ChaolanLegacy
    ChaolanLegacy
    Probably the Djeeta crossover didn't help either. Still, I really wish that some of the new characters from the game would make it into a new Blazblue fighting game, the designs are really sick and it would be a waste for them to remain tied down to a dead mobile game.

    Look, I'm not saying that Shimbori called all or even most of the shots when it comes to the development of Tekken 8 from a gameplay perspective but the fact that Xiaoyu is basically Helena now is a bit sus.

    Its more like Helena is Xiaoyu, since Xiaoyu came first starting at Tekken 3 (1997) who here fight style is Piguaquan & Baguazhang, and Helena wouldn't be a thing until Dead or Alive 2 (1999) who only does Piguaquan. Shimbori was brought along with Tekken 8 development, and he left Koei Tecmo with Dead or Alive 6 being the final project he was involved with.

    Project L's name is now 2XKO, which I guess isn't bad but it only looks good on paper, 2 times KO doesn't sound like a good fighting game title tbh. Game seems to have gotten a decent amount of polish and it is going to be getting it further since its coming out next year. From what the few people said who managed to try it out this game might be something that I might want to at the very least check out.

    Not the biggest fan of the League of Legends IP but yeah, should be interesting to see how this game will stack up against the big dogs such as Tekken 8 and Street Fighter 6.
    ChaolanLegacy
    ChaolanLegacy
    Its probably going to have a decent playerbase due to the IP but whether it'll be good enough to reach the status that the big 3 have in the fighting game space is a questionable one, especially since its a tag fighter and those haven't been doing too well as of late.
    ChaolanLegacy
    I find it unsurprising that the Granblue team knew what to do with the battle pass to make it attractive enough for people to purchase it (hopefully these costumes will come later to the in-game shop where we can buy it with in-game currency or as a dlc costume for 4-6$) while Street Fighter has been pretty much fumbling their collabs/BP since launch. Makes me wonder if Tekken Shop in T8 will be good or not.

    I’m still surprised that Narmiya has an alternate costume in GBVSR. I was like “Alternate costumes? Not recolors, but an actual alternate costume? In an Arc System Works game? Hell has frozen!” lmao

    Tbf, that may have been Cygames' decision moreso than ArcSys', the same way Avatar Belial is a playable character because the dev team wanted to make a playable version of the boss, making him and also Vira be the last new releases of the vanilla game. Also, you might know this already but more costumes are coming, BP2 comes with a costume for Zeta based on her Dark SSR unit from the gacha game.
