Man, Ed Boon & co are going all out with the new "soft-rebooted" Mortal Kombat game....
Badass campaign, with the classic imagery/song remixed. Dave Bautista. Getting some celebrities/movie stars into some characters (Megan Fox works surprisingly well here, with nods to the great flick Jennifer's Body), and even JCVD as Johnny Cage!!!! Holy sh!t!
Can't wait!!!!
Following the recent modern trilogy of Mortal Kombat games which introduced a lot of time travel shenanigans and retconning stuff, we ended the last game with SPOILER ALERT Liu Kang resurrected as a Fire & Ice God and Raiden stripped of his immortality.
Now we're going back in time for an alternate Mortal Kombat 1 (again..). At least it does look really good.
Check it out!
I actually really wanna check out the plot goes on.. but I feel like we're stuck in MK 1-3 era forever these last few games.. I kinda want to see the villains and characters of the 3D era of MK games at some point return as well..
I'm kinda looking forward to SF6, 'games looking GREAT!!!
TEKKEN 8!!! YEAAAAAH!!!
Here's some pretty kickass trailers from the latest State of Play! And I gotta say, I like what we got to see.
First up, I can see why Capcom made RE Village and 4 Remake back to back. Looks like they might recycle some assets between games. And I dig it. I can't imagine a remake of RE5 or 6 after this (or make them proper single player puzzle-driven stories). So, why not go after Code Veronica next?
The new weirdly realistic Street Fighter looks pretty good actually.
I honestly just found out Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl was a separate game from MultiVersus. And Nickelodeon Brawl was already out for a few months.
I mean, both games kinda looked the same to me. Big cartoony random crossover, lots of random ips that don't look good next to each other.. I didn't notice the Nickelodeon or Warner Bros-part of their titles...
Anyways, who thinks this looks just as random and bad as Warner's MultiVersus?
This is no simple fighting game. This is a fever dream.
What the heck??
The second and big announcement from Capcom is simply a teaser for the upcoming Street Fighter 6!
Get Hyped!
Well, it's just a quick CGi teaser. But it confirms the game is in the works.
Personally I'd like a list of consoles, vague release window and/or list of characters, but HEY! We can't have it all! I like how default Ryu is the bearded one from SF5, like most of us presumed.
Oh, and I almost forgot: This new logo is AWFUL!! I hope it's a placeholder!! It looks like a bad "internet app" that has "6 unread emails"... Just use SF5's logo again updated with a 6. It was colorful and better than SF4. Better yet, bring an older logo back, like SF2 or 1 (!), it will look nostalgic and retro!

Capcom just announced a few interesting things. First thing first, they're gonna release a "Capcom Fighting Collection". Basically this really is a Vampire/Darkstalkers collection with a few titles (check the vid at the end). All 5 major versions of Darkstalkers. Plus a Street Fighter, Red Earth, the two chibi games..
10 classic games make their return, including two Darkstalkers games never before released in the West, with enhanced features, quality of life improvements, and Online Rollback Netcode for ALL titles! Coming June 24th, 2022.
Check it out:
Are they preparing the audience for a new Darkstalkers??
I gotta admit it... So I've been really into JoJo's Bizarre Adventure lately. Starting reading the manga. Checking stuff about the lore and all.
And I finally grabbed a copy of the Dreamcast JoJo's Bizarre Adventure game. A game I remember seeing several times in stores back around the DC days. I remember seeing the games a few times: when I bought Street Fighter 3 First Strike on its release day. During holidays in a supermarket in the gaming section. At the airport even.
But I never grabbed it since I wasn't particularly interested in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure back then..
..and now I kinda regret it, considering how much the Pal release costs nowdays.
Anyways, I grabbed the Japanese release recently:
(Was this post a JoJo's reference?)
So the same year Mortal Kombat got the Aftermath (story) upgrade, we're now getting a second update to MK11 in this, well, frankly weird year of 2020.
New upgrade of the game means a new physical release as well as a brand new "Kombat Pack" DLC. And I really like the fact we're finally getting Mileena (yay!) and Rain (awesome!), but I kinda dig the idea to have Sly himself voicing Rambo! Hahaha. We can now have Stallone fighting Schwarzenegger in Mortal Kombat! Bruce Willis' John McClane and Van Damme skin for Johnny Cage when??
