Street Fighter V - F.A.N.G Reveal Trailer & DLC Characters Announced

Capcom revealed F.A.N.G and 6 DLC characters for Street Fighter V at PlayStation Experience!

F.A.N.G is a Shadaloo fighter who uses poison, which damages his opponent over time. He looks a little silly, but he also looks like a unique and fun character to use.

F.A.N.G is the 16th and final playable character to be revealed for the fighting game's starting roster of world warriors including Ryu, Chun-Li, Charlie Nash, M. Bison, Cammy, Birdie, Ken, Vega, Necalli, R. Mika, Rashid, Karin, Zangief, Laura, and Dhalsim.

Capcom also revealed 6 new DLC characters, which will be released over the course of the first year after the game launches. These fighters will be Alex, Guile, Balrog, Ibuki, Juri, and Urien. The plan is to release a new character every 2 months. Players can purchase the characters outright or earn them by playing the game.

For the impatient type, you can preorder the DLC characters now with the Street Fighter V Season Pass for $29.99. The season pass also includes a premium costume for each DLC character and an exclusive PS4 theme.

Street Fighter V is scheduled to release exclusively on the PS4 and PC on February 16, 2016 in North America and Europe.

Street Fighter V - Dhalsim Reveal Trailer

Dhalsim sets the competition on fire in the latest trailer for Street Fighter V!

Looks like Dhalsim retains some of his keep-away gameplay, but has also gained some new options. That arching fireball looks like a great new ability.

Alongside the character announcement, Capcom release information on Dhalsim's V-Skill, the Yoga Float. This ability allows Dhalsim to float in midair for a few seconds, which is a great way to catch your opponent off guard and launch a counterattack.

"Yoga nana nana boo boo!"

Dhalsim's V-Trigger, Yoga Burner, is a flame attack that burns the floor for an extended period of time. If your opponent stands in the flames, they will slowly lose life. However, once they step out of the flames, they will recover this lost health.

"My eyes! The goggles do nothing!"

While there is only one more playable character to be revealed for the final roster of 16 fighters, Capcom announced that they plan to release 6 more characters throughout 2016 after the game's launch. The idea is to release one new character every 2 months. This will bring the roster up to 22 by 2017.

All DLC characters can be purchased with Fight Money, which is earned by completing daily goals or leveling up individual characters. Daily goals include challenges such as landing a certain number of Hadokens or anti-air attacks. Leveling up a character just means playing the various game modes with a single character. When you level up a character, they do not get any stronger, but you do earn bonus Fight Money. So the game rewards gamers who play often and experiment with multiple characters.

If you are the impatient type, you can also buy new content using Zenny, which is purchased using real money.

Street Fighter V is scheduled to release exclusively on the PS4 and PC on February 16, 2016 in North America and Europe.

Street Fighter V - Laura Reveal Trailer

Capcom officially announced Brazilian fighter Laura in the latest trailer for Street Fighter V!

Very interesting character. Laura is a Jiu-Jitsu fighter, but she wields electricity like Blanka, and her spin move looks like something right out of his moveset as well. Also, her fighting style is referred to as "Matsuda Jiu-Jitsu", which could mean she has a connection to Sean Matsuda, a Brazilian fighter from Street Fighter III. Furthermore, she is the first grappler in the series to wield a projectile. It will be interesting to see how this new kind of character will be utilized during gameplay.

Laura using her Thunder Clap projectile.

Capcom also released information about Laura's V-Skill and V-Trigger. Laura's V-Skill is called Linear Movement, which allows her to quickly move forward to attack, or backward to escape. She can also change it up to confuse her opponent. If the player does not specify a direction to move when activating this skill, Laura will perform an overhead kick instead.

Laura's V-Trigger is called Spark Show, an electric buff that makes it easier to stun opponents, and allows her Thunder Clap projectile and Linear Movement to go further.

I don't think your arm is supposed to bend that way.

Laura joins Ryu, Chun-Li, Charlie Nash, M. Bison, Cammy, Birdie, Ken, Vega, Necalli, R. Mika, Rashid, Karin, and Zangief as part of the game's roster of world warriors. The final roster is expected to have 16 playable fighters total, so expect two more characters to be revealed soon.

No official release date has been announced, but Street Fighter V is expected to arrive no later than spring 2016 exclusively on the PS4 and PC.

Street Fighter V - Zangief Reveal Trailer

Zangief piledrives the competition in the newest trailer for Street Fighter V!

Wow. The Red Cyclone looks stronger than ever. Zangief has gained a "V-Skill" called Iron Muscle, which allows him to absorb one attack and recover health. His "V-Trigger" is called the Cyclone Lariat and allows him to spin very quickly, pulling in his opponent for a multi-hit attack. Each character in the game has his or her own V-Skill and V-Trigger.

Karin is another old character who was recently announced.

Like R. Mika, Karin hasn't been seen since Street Fighter Alpha 3 back in 1998. Her new V-Skill is a knockdown attack that can go through projectiles like Ryu's fireball. Her V-Trigger is an incredibly flexible attack with a variety of follow-ups and variations at your disposal after the initial attack connects. This allows Karin to control the flow of the fight while confusing her opponent.

Zangief and Karin join Ryu, Chun-Li, Charlie Nash, M. Bison, Cammy, Birdie, Ken, Vega, R. Mika, Necalli, and Rashid as part of the game's roster of world warriors.

No official release date has been announced, but Street Fighter V is expected to arrive no later than spring 2016 exclusively on the PS4 and PC.

Street Fighter V - Rashid Reveal Trailer

Capcom revealed new Middle-Eastern fighter Rashid in the newest trailer for Street Fighter V!

Rashid looks like a really fun character. He is incredibly agile, which fits well with his unique wind-based attacks. But what is with that scouter he wears over his left eye? Maybe there is an interesting backstory to the "Turbulent Wind".

Rashid joins the savage Necalli as newcomers to the series. Street Fighter veterans Ryu, Chun-Li, Charlie Nash, M. Bison, Cammy, Birdie, Ken, Vega, and R. Mika have also been announced as part of the roster.

No official release date has been announced, but Street Fighter V is expected to arrive no later than spring 2016 exclusively on the PS4 and PC.

Street Fighter V - R. Mika Reveal Trailer

R. Mika makes her long-awaited return in the newest trailer for Street Fighter V!

Stone Cold Stunner at the 30 second mark! Rainbow Mika originally debuted in Street Fighter Alpha 3 back in 1998, but has been missing from the fighting game scene until now. She is bringing along a tag team partner (Yamato Nadeshiko) this time around, which looks like an interesting game mechanic.

R. Mika joins Street Fighter veterans Ryu, Chun-Li, Charlie Nash, M. Bison, Cammy, Birdie, Ken, Vega, and savage newcomer Necalli.

No official release date has been announced, but Street Fighter V is expected to arrive no later than spring 2016 exclusively on the PS4 and PC.

Fallout 4 - First Official Trailer

Bethesda has finally released the first post-apocalyptic trailer for Fallout 4!.... "War never changes."

I really appreciate that Bethesda chose to use in-game graphics rather than trying to wow us with pre-rendered cutscenes. It gives us a much better idea of what to expect from the game, such as the familiar aesthetics we've come to expect from the series, and the huge open world. Kudos on getting Ron Perlman to come back as well.

Bethesda promises to show more at their E3 Showcase on Sunday, June 14th at 7pm PT.

No release date has been announced, but Fallout 4 will arrive for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

Street Fighter V - M. Bison Reveal Trailer

M. Bison returns in the newest gameplay trailer for Street Fighter V, and he's a little different than you remember.

Check out the white hair and longer coat. Those are small changes but they help make the old dictator feel a little fresher. In addition, his moveset looks to have changed a bit as well. Bison's attacks look flashier, but they also look like a lot of fun to try out.

M. Bison is now the fourth character to be revealed for the new fighting game along with Ryu, Chun Li, and a cyborg Charlie Nash. Those who preorder the game in North America will automatically be enrolled in the beta access program. Can't wait to see what else Capcom reveals for Street Fighter V.

No official release date has been announced, but Street Fighter V is expected to arrive no later than spring 2016 exclusively on the PS4 and PC.

Batman: Arkham Knight - "All Who Follow You" Trailer

Nightwing, Robin, and Catwoman join the fight in the latest trailer for Batman: Arkham Knight.

The new trailer is showing off the new "Dual Play" mechanic, which Warner Bros. says allows players to "switch seamlessly between The Dark Knight and his allies including Robin, Nightwing, and Catwoman in free-flow combat." Sounds like developer Rocksteady Studios is working very hard to make this an amazing last entry in the Arkham series.

Here is a short synopsis for the game:

"In the explosive finale to the 'Arkham' series, Batman faces the ultimate threat against the city he is sworn to protect. The Scarecrow returns to unite an impressive roster of super villains, including Penguin, Two-Face and Harley Quinn, to destroy the Dark Knight forever. Batman: Arkham Knight introduces Rocksteady's uniquely designed version of the Batmobile, which is drivable for the first time in the franchise. The addition of this legendary vehicle, combined with the acclaimed gameplay of the 'Batman Arkham' series, offers gamers the ultimate and complete Batman experience as they tear through the streets and soar across the skyline of the entirety of Gotham City."

Batman: Arkham Knight will arrive on June 23rd for the PC, Xbox One, and PS4.

Mortal Kombat X - Official Launch Trailer

Check out the bone-crunching launch trailer for Mortal Kombat X, featuring music from System of a Down.

The trailer was directed by Shavo Odadjian, a member of the band System of a Down. He did a great job putting the imagery from the game together with his band's hit song, "Chop Suey!" The trailer definitely got me pumped for the game.

Here's a synopsis:

"Mortal Kombat X is NetherRealm Studios' next highly-anticipated installment in its legendary, critically acclaimed fighting game franchise that propels the iconic franchise into a new generation. The game combines cinematic presentation with all new gameplay to deliver the most brutal Kombat experience ever, offering a new fully-connected experience that launches players into a persistent online contest where every fight matters in a global battle for supremacy. For the first time, Mortal Kombat X gives players the ability to choose from multiple variations of each character impacting strategy and fighting style. Players step into an original story showcasing some of the game's most prolific characters including Scorpion and Sub-Zero, while introducing new challengers that represent the forces of good and evil and tie the tale together."

Mortal Kombat X will arrive on April 14th for the PC, Xbox 360, PS3, Xbox One, and PS4.

Batman: Arkham Knight - "Gotham is Mine" Trailer

Batman must protect Gotham from Scarecrow in the newest trailer for Batman: Arkham Knight.

Each trailer looks better than the last one. It appears Poison Ivy is returning along with The Riddler, Harley Quinn, Two-Face, and The Penguin. Could not help but notice the heavily armed thugs as well. Each Arkham game has raised the stakes and this one looks to do the same. However, Rocksteady Studios appears to be pushing the envelope even further than before, seeing as this is the first Batman game to be rated M for its mature content. Nonetheless, considering how good Arkham Asylum and Arkham City were, this is a game that should be on almost everyone's radar.

Here is a short synopsis:

"In the explosive finale to the 'Arkham' series, Batman faces the ultimate threat against the city he is sworn to protect. The Scarecrow returns to unite an impressive roster of super villains, including Penguin, Two-Face and Harley Quinn, to destroy the Dark Knight forever. Batman: Arkham Knight introduces Rocksteady's uniquely designed version of the Batmobile, which is drivable for the first time in the franchise. The addition of this legendary vehicle, combined with the acclaimed gameplay of the 'Batman Arkham' series, offers gamers the ultimate and complete Batman experience as they tear through the streets and soar across the skyline of the entirety of Gotham City."

Batman: Arkham Knight will arrive on June 2 for the PC, Xbox One, and PS4.

Street Fighter V - Charlie Nash Gameplay Trailer

Sonic Boom! Capcom revealed a new gameplay trailer for Street Fighter V, featuring the long-awaited return of Charlie Nash.

Wow, so Nash definitely learned some new moves. This is no doubt a result of his new cyborg body. Just like with Ryu and Chun-LI, Nash appears to have those watercolor flourishes first used in Street Fighter IV, though it appears each fighter's flourishes will look more unique this time around in terms of color. We also caught a glimpse of Bison at the end as well.

If that news isn't exciting enough, Capcom also announced that those who preorder the game in North America will automatically be enrolled into the beta program. Great! Now I just need to buy a new console.

A release date has yet to be revealed, but Street Fighter V will arrive exclusively on the PS4 and PC.

Mortal Kombat X - Kitana and Kung Lao Gameplay Trailer

Kitana and Kung Lao return in the newest gameplay trailer for Mortal Kombat X!

It is nice to see Goro brought back into the mix, though it is too bad he is pre-order DLC. Nonetheless, there seems to be a nice mix of old favorites and new fighters for the newest iteration of the gory fighter.

Mortal Kombat X is set to release on April 14 for the PC, Xbox 360, PS3, Xbox One, and PS4.

Street Fighter V - Announcement and Gameplay Trailers

Capcom has released two new trailers for Street Fighter V, exclusive to PS4 and PC. First, check out the official announcement trailer.

That was inspiring. Nice nod to the history of the franchise, while teasing the future. Now watch the gameplay trailer.

The graphics definitely look much better than before. The character models have improved, and the draw distance makes the stage feel much larger. Nice little touch with the lights breaking when Chun-Li kicked Ryu in front of it. Hopefully all stages have little effects like this. It really makes the stages feel more alive, and the fighters more powerful.

Also noticeable was the return of the water color look from Street Fighter IV, although Chun-Li's water color effects were a light blue. Perhaps each fighter will have their own color effects, which would add to their individuality.

The big question is what gameplay elements has Capcom added to make this game worthy of the number 5? Cross platform play was announced, so both PS4 and PC gamers can play with each other. Furthermore, Ryu went through a wall to reveal more of the stage, which showcases how large the stages have become. It looks great but hopefully there will be more than that. Capcom will be releasing a video of the first Street Fighter V match next week, so we should find out then.

No release date has been revealed, but Street Fighter V will arrive exclusively on the PS4 and PC.

Batman: Arkham Knight - ACE Chemicals Infiltration Trailer: Part 3

Batman kicks butt in the final part of the ACE Chemicals Infiltration trailer for Batman: Arkham Knight.

Shown today at Sony's PlayStation Experience event, the gameplay looks amazing. Great way to end off the big trailer. The PS4 exclusive Scarecrow mission looks impressive as well.

Here is a short synopsis for the game:

"In the explosive finale to the 'Arkham' series, Batman faces the ultimate threat against the city he is sworn to protect. The Scarecrow returns to unite an impressive roster of super villains, including Penguin, Two-Face and Harley Quinn, to destroy the Dark Knight forever. Batman: Arkham Knight introduces Rocksteady's uniquely designed version of the Batmobile, which is drivable for the first time in the franchise. The addition of this legendary vehicle, combined with the acclaimed gameplay of the 'Batman Arkham' series, offers gamers the ultimate and complete Batman experience as they tear through the streets and soar across the skyline of the entirety of Gotham City."

Batman: Arkham Knight - Ace Chemicals Infiltration Trailer: Part 1

Batman infiltrates ACE Chemicals in the new gameplay trailer for Batman: Arkham Knight.

Awesome! The trailer shows off Batman's aggressive new Fear Takedown, and the integration of Batmobile gameplay. The graphics also impress with a highly detailed cinematic look to the in-game engine.

This is just the first part of 3 trailers, with the remaining 2 set to debut next week. The second will arrive on December 1, and the last will be shown on December 6 during Sony's keynote at PlayStation Experience.

Here is a short synopsis for the game:

"In the explosive finale to the 'Arkham' series, Batman faces the ultimate threat against the city he is sworn to protect. The Scarecrow returns to unite an impressive roster of super villains, including Penguin, Two-Face and Harley Quinn, to destroy the Dark Knight forever.

Final Fantasy XV - TGS 2014 Trailer

The Tokyo Game Show is underway and Square Enix has released a new gameplay trailer for the long-awaited Final Fantasy XV! "It's been a long time coming. Almost there."

Looks like gamers will be able to drive around in a car this time around. Hopefully chocobos won't be completely forgotten. Either way, it is nice to see that it is a real game now and will be available for purchase at some point.

Square Enix also confirmed the first playable demo for the game will be available to those who purchase their spinoff title, Final Fantasy Type-0 HD, which will launch in North America for the Xbox One and PS4 on March 17th, 2015.

The game was originally released back in 1996 for the Sony PlayStation console, but was later remade for the Nintendo Gamecube in 2002. This release will be an HD remaster of the Gamecube remake.
