Alongside R.E.V.O, 5US is going to receive a 2.0 update. The rollback update seems to be quite likely alongside the balance patch but we'll have to wait and see if it'll receive everything that R.E.V.O is getting.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
It would be nice to see a DOA Master/Fighters collection from TN with 2U, 3 and 4 in it before a new NG and DOA and relatively soon after they're done with Rise of the Ronin.
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.
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.
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.
If they really don't have anything planned for Ninja Gaiden or DOA (might not have been able to say that they're working on it but who knows) then this is the first time in a long time where TN/Gust/KT won't have anything announced/coming after Rise of the Ronin that would interest me at the least, I know that some might be looking for that Fate game they're making, which is slightly surprising tbh.
While the whole SpyXFamily collab is disappointing, I don't think that the the costume mod that happened soon after or the nude mod fiasco that happened a while ago is the main reason or even a reason why they want to get rid of mods. Iirc most of these Japanese companies are very much against mods in their videogames, hence the anti-mod drm.
Bea is the fourth dlc character of the first season pass who'll be coming to Rising in May. Been waiting for this moment since the end of the second season pass of the vanilla game, whats 4-5 more months?
The whole costume 3 for SF6 situation reminds me on how fighting games are full priced games with not so cheap dlc or plenty of season passes. With the amount of time and money it takes to make sequels now it might be better for these companies to make their game f2p and then they can add all sorts of dlc's and season/battle passes that they want (as long as they're not overpriced).
Rollback beta finally coming to FighterZ (apparently only to the Steam version). With the time it took them to do or announce anything rollback related I thought that they might end up making a "Rising" version of the "vanilla" game but it seems that it won't be the case.
