#FightingNEWS Dead or Alive 6 Reveal Trailer

A new Dead or Alive was just randomly announced, right before E3!

Check out Dead or Alive 6:



While the game looks more or less exactly like DOA5 visually and design wise, with the slightly more realistic less-anime-ysh approach, the bump in overall details is a nice update.

They said the game will be more serious and mature than past games. Trying to go back to the series former glory? For all the nerds and otakus complaining about a fighting game trying to be taken seriously again.. did you just start gaming? They did say the exact same PR stuff word-for-word for the launch of DOA4 and DOA5 (remember "I'm a Fighter"??). Also, I would love to mention DOA in the same breath as Tekken or Street Fighter, it's not a newcomer but a long-running veteran series now! I often consider it a "B-movie" tier fighting game series. (But that's also my issue with how basic and simple the gameplay is..)

If DOA's gonna be more serious... Can we get more proper links between Dead or Alive and the Ninja Gaiden series? Not just costumes and cameos but full on shared story? That would help bump the story of this fighting game in a day and age where Mortal Kombat redefined the standard for good fighting game story. Also, DOA5's story mode was really awful...

Anyways, expect more gameplay on E3 and a release by the end of the year on PS4, X1 and PC.

This one has been making all the rounds lately. It's a compilation of all of the Mr. Bean/Kung fu ads for Snickers. You might have seen some of these scenes in theaters lately. It's great to sit through the whole thing:

#Movie NEWS! New Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 Trailer

This new trailer makes the new TMNT movie look actually kind of decent and fun:



Man, I just wish they had recasted April and slightly redesign the turtles. (Why not even make it a soft-reboot after the last one?) The rest looks fine though.

#FanFilmThursday - TMNT Fan Film kicks the ass of Hollywood reboots!

These totally bodacious dudes at TheMigmeisterPro made a great tribute to the original TMNT comics! Check it out, they're far more turtle, and less "Shrek" than Michael Bay's abominations:

#Movie NEWS! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Out of the Shadows

You know, the TMNT reboot is a pretty bad film, but this sequel can only go up if you think about it.

They just retitled the sequel Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows. Yes, like that awful game that came out not long ago (which I still think was based on the original earlier draft of the Michael Bay reboot, both character design-wise and plot-wise). The sequel will be directed by a newcomer this time, Dave Green.

And they have recast most of the secondary characters, sadly Megan Fox's still in it ruining everything with her bland face and awfully robotic acting once more. But they also got Arrow star Stephen Amell as Casey Jones (!!) and the debut of Bebop and Rocksteady played by Gary Anthony Williams and Stephen "Sheamus" Farrelly respectiviely!

 Friggin' Bebop and Rocksteady!!!!!

Woah! What? YESSSS!!

I also love how they appear to be based on their recent IDW comics interpretation:

With a new Karai cast as well, does that mean they'll have the same role as in the current comics??

Here's a very shirt first look trailer:



... it looks like it could actually really be fun this time!

My only problem is still the same - way to busy photography, awful CGi character design and shaky filmography. Sigh...

On another hand, here's a couple of fantastic cheesy teaser posters for the film:

Did those guys travel back from the past or what!?!?!?

Easily one of the most random commercials I've seen in ages! What? How?! Why??

#Marvel NEWS! Elektra joins the fight on Daredevil

To announced the casting of Elodie Yung (G.I. Joe: Retaliation) as Elektra

Surprisingly already fitting for the role, as seen above on GI Joe

Marvel just released this new poster for Netflix’s Daredevil series:

Along with this comment from Jeph Loeb:

Paired with Charlie as Matt Murdock, the two will bring one of the most beloved and tumultuous comic book relationships to life with all the accompanying sparks and spectacular action sequences the show is known for.

#Gaming NEWS! DOA decides its time for another re-release!

Dead or Alive decides to jump into the current "next gen" of consoles, with yet another update!

Titled Dead or Alive 5: Last Round, it's basically the same as the last one ("Ultimate"). Only it will be available for both PS4 and Xbox One (and fanboys are already crying and asking for a PC port - it's a Japanese-developed game, so don't hold your breath...).



From the looks of things it will include all previous DLC (characters,..). And apparently costume DLCs will be transferable over that version. (Honestly gang, anyone seriously buy those???)

#Cowabunga NEWS! More leaked Ninja Turtles reboot stuff

It really looks like the Turtles will look this dorky and wear random junk & clothes in Michael Bay's reboot. Michael Bay and Paramount have been asking people to take out the leaked stuff.

Why? Don't they like the free advertisment and having people talk about the new designs... or do they fear the ridicule of their new direction?!

Anyways, more leaked stuff, this time actual character concepts and models from the shoot, how they will actually look like IN THE FILM. One step closer...

We're definitively going with the extra clothing. And OF COURSE, they're gonna sport ridiculous elbow pads... Also they look way more like samurais than ninjas.

It's like the 1990s finally caught the simplistic and perfect design of Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman's characters. 

Shredder looks... Okay, I guess.

And I see way too much Decepticons in Shredder design here... sigh..

The real problem is that they casted the whitest guy ever to play this Japanese ninja clan leader.. I mean, William Fichtner?????? Really??? (and don't throw any "James Avery" at me - 1) he was AWESOME and 2) he was only a voice actor, come on!)

Nooo. The real problem lies in...

.
GAH!! I forgot she was in the film... Why?!?! Whyyyyyyyyyy???

A trailer will supposedly hit the world before August 8, that's when the movie's coming out. Bay can't hide them forever.

#Cowabunga NEWS! Is this the first look at the upcoming new Ninja Turtles?

People were expecting to get the first look at the new TMNT live action incarnations from upcoming toys announced for this Summer, instead this leaked picture of upcoming costumes revealed the first look at the Platinum Dunes-rebooted Ninja Turtles...

...and I'm pretty sure this is accurately how the redesign shellheads will look like.

I'll go as far as saying that if this was a fake, they will probably end up exactly looking like this. (mark my words!)

It certainly looks perfectly in line with what Hollywood's been producing recently, design-wise. I feel a bit of Amazing Spider-man's lizard in this.

Let's take this for "granted" and examine it, shall we? Awful "hip" shorts, silly glasses, ugly CGi texture. Even if this is a costume, I don't think the movie version, in action, will look any better. (Does CGi in blockbusters these days ever look better?)

This ain't the nostalgia talking, believe me, but that face... Cheap Halloween costume or not here... That face looks awful...

I believe the original 1990 movie or the current Nickelodeon cartoon did both a much better job at taking Eastman & Laird's characters into a 3-dimensional plane.... Sigh... And Michael Bay & the crew just announced plans for 3 Turtles movies... *rolls eyes*
