  • dawg the arenas in NG4 are massive, no more intense fights in claustrophobic areas where we can take advantage of walls, now we just fighting in large, flat, open areas? as long as the characters can take advantage of the space I guess it's fine

    the launch trailer from months ago shows a lot more variety of areas including more small room or corridor areas and not just big areas:


    And I know they're going for more of a cyberpunk look this time but a few areas feel like they're out of Ghostrunner, or is it just me? lol.

    We see two snippets of gameplay and people are jumping to conclusions.
    I saw a blonde British man in the new NG4 trailer and my NG3 PTSD kicked in, but then I remembered that Cliff and Regent both die at the end of NG3 so there's no way they could come back...question mark?
    welp, I hope the people who spent the last *checks watch* 16 years asking for Ingrid are happy now, personally i've never seen her appeal, she just always came off as a Capcom version of Athena, but hey, more characters are always appreciated

    I don't see her appeal either but she left a bad taste in my mouth with her non-canon storyline in Alpha 3 Max. Plus, I don't see her as the "Capcom version of Athena Asamiya", maybe the other Athena (the one from SvC Chaos) cause they a bit similar in status.
    UMK3 rerelease on modern hardware? imma play this shit till my fingers fall off, I don't even need a MK2 at this point
    also, Marvel Fighting game made by Arcsys? feelings are...mixed but optimistic

    it's funny because with Capcom Fighting collection 2, Tomb Raider collection 2, it seems like re-releasing old game compilations in 2's is the hot trend right now, so fingers crossed we get a Kollection 2 for the 3D era games and Shaolin Monks, especially since we're most likely never getting a Shaolin Monks 2

    There might be a chance that the PS2 trilogy is also included in this kollection, since apparently they have the Gameboy Advance version of Deadly Alliance in it "with more on the way". If it goes up until MK9, all of them with playable online with good rollback, then NRS made probably what'll be the best decision that they had in the past 6-7 years.

    As for a Shaolin Monks 2 or a new proper Mythologies game, I think that NRS won't be making a new MK game for a while (which depending on how long the wait will be it could be a good thing), hence why we're getting this kollection.
    Welp, it took two years but now every SF6 characters has a whopping 3 costumes! I will never understand SF6's aversion to alternates, it's just leaving free money on the table imo

    though I guess it's better than the SFV costume situation where favoritism lead to some characters *coughChunLicough* with 20 high quality alternates while others only got 3-4 that weren't even that good; at least in SF6 everyone gets nice alternates and their doled out at a semi equal rate so there are no haves and have-nots

    Mai looks amazing. Terry's I would like better if he didn't have the vest. Also Bison stole Leon's jacket lol.
    DMC3 is one of those games when people say "it's the best of it's genre" what they mean is "it's the best of it's genre...once you've added the appropriate mods that offer modern conveniences and options the fans have deemed necessary because the base game is good but dated as fuck" a la Skyrim

    should be optional, not almost mandatory (imo of course).

    Also, when it comes to modding, once people played a game 50 times back and forth you do want to make it fresh via modding if possible. Kingdom Hearts fans mostly say that 2 Final Mix is the best game of the franchise (it is), yet, the modding scene is immense, to the point where they made different characters from different games that were not present in 2 playable in 2.

    While the gamepay of that game is not dated in any way possible, in fact, it is also considered the best in the franchise.
    So...Fahkuram is back

    what was Bruce Irving busy?

    This what Bruce had been busy with:


    His last game was Tekken Mobile (which got shutdown).

    I mean if you think about it Fahk was a Tekken 8 charcter backported to 7 just like Lidia and Kunimitsu II very much are. So personally I always knew they'd bring him back at some point, the weird decision to me is bringing back Armor King with no Marduk lol

    So...


    --unram is there to take his steed instead.
    So MK1 will continue to receive balance patches despite DLC being discontinued for the game, which is good cause there's alot of underwhelming kameos that see 0 use and some questionable kharacter interactions that make 0 sense so hopefully those get changed
    Food for the Soul and Catch me at the Ballpark, 2 anime that belong to the painfully malnourished genre of slice of life starring adults who are either undergrads or full time workers, check 'em out if it sounds like your thing
    remember MGSV: Ground Zeroes? that demo that Konami had the balls to charge $40 but everyone went along with it because "well, it's Kojima, he's always doing wacky stuff", how did we let that shit slide at all??? I feel like if any publisher tried something like that today they'd be burned at the stake

    I also remember Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. Paid demos are icky, but people were really itching for GT5 in 2008 and MGS5 in 2014. Though, could you imagine if Cyberpunk 2077 had a paid demo in 2019?

    Back in 2010 there was also Dead Rising 2: Case Zero which released on Xbox 360's XBLA for $4.99 a few days before Dead Rising 2 and doubled as a mini-prequel. I enjoyed it. I thought it was pretty meaty for a $4.99 1-day game and I actually replayed it a few times.

    holy cow I actually remember Dead Rising 2: Case Zero, I remember being confused because I thought it was the full game but then I saw the $5 price tag

    but yeah I can see game franchises of a certain caliber being able to get away with this nonstandard practice, but I feel like this is exactly the type of rabbit hole thinking that leads us to $90 first party Nintendo games
    welp, with MK1 no longer being supported, every1's speculating about the next NRS game, which is either going to be Injustice 3 or that rumored MCU fighting game, but given how WB is more interested in turning all their games into live service store fronts, I don't even want to think about what their future fighting games will look like under the current WB model :/
    dam, I thought MK1 was done and dusted, but then NRS puts this out

    that said, this is pretty much just MK1 with new skins and all the DLC bundled together at a more reasonable price, not bad but this does mean no more balance patches or system changes, so the version of MK1 we have now is pretty much it

    Guess the leaks of no KP3 were real after all.
    Shame since Khaos Expansion must not have met expectations.
    Then again, NR has done a complete edition for MK and IN.
    Haven't played this game btw, I only heard it wasn't as good as the others. Seems 11 had more support.

    11 definitely got more support, that said 11 catered way harder to the casual market so naturally it had a longer lifespan, MK1 imo has superior gameplay but it fumbled on basic stuff like online modes and training options, and the assist mechanic did not go well with the casual playerbase, and unfortunately casuals carry MK
    back when DOA6 came out one thing I complained about was how Nyo was given all these fancy new tools but none of them fixed her core issues, but now that I've being playing DOA5 a lot recently, I think I have to retroactively eat my words

    Camel. All I want is a 360T command spd instead of a 1T! Thats all. I have been wishing for this since the Nyo Geo first came out as dlc! Its not fair! Bass has Victory Bomb, Bass Bomber, and F5! While Ryu has Izuna Drop and P+K, PP, 360T! Hayate has....well...HE IS HAYATE! >.<

    the fact that her piledriver is a low throw is very weird, definitely gives it less use cases than other characters pile driver, but it made more sense back in ultimate when it a 2T command and was i7, but then Last round came out and now it's a 1T command and has 3 more frames of start up, granted she now has proper i5 2T like everyone else but the animation is nowhere near as cool :(

    Her sumo stomp and 46P+K has more uses than her spd! X.x
    DOA has always been known for it's striking and over the top character design, which is why it blows my mind that a character like Rig even exists on the DOA roster

    To me it was like "let's just say this guy is from Canada, cuz why not?" and "he's named Rig cuz he works on a rig" XD. Where's the cutscene where he chugs some maple syrup, or at least eats a timbit and washes it down with a double double?

    I guess being covered in weird tattoos is supposed to be the most interesting thing about him.

    (I know a girl who thought he was hawt tho, lol)

    ah, so Rig (and his castmate Mila) were specifically designed to be "regular people" at least in the context of a DOA game, that very much tracks with what TN was doing at the time because before that they had released Ninja Gaiden 3 which also did the "what if regular everyday people were part of this fantastical game" thing
    DOA English voice acting with regional accents for everyone, could you imagine? Hitomi with a German accent? Kasumi and Ayane speaking engrish? Spanish Mila? oh what we could have had :/

    I've always thought about how awesome it would be if every character in DOA spoke their own native languages and spoke to each other in accented English, I like that effort to provide realism, but I'm just so selfishly in love with Yuko Nagashima's JP voice for Tina that I'd never ask for it to happen XD

    I guess Kasumi and Ayane speaking "Engrish" would go somewhat like this. As for 2HC's EN voice acting, I have a soft spot for it. The execution can come off weird half the time (good vibrations anyone?) but the voices feel suitable for the most part imo, its also nice that they kept the JP battlegrunts instead of them recording their own which wouldn't have been good most likely.
