Welcome to The Doctor's Prognosis! I am your humble host, Dr. C-LOS. Here, I will let you know my thoughts on various forms of entertainment including film, TV, and video games. Enjoy!
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.
Nintendo has released the trailer for Pokémon GO, their first augmented reality game for Android and iOS!
Capturing Pokémon in the real world sounds like a dream come true for many gamers, young and old, but how well will that translate into mobile gaming? Game developer Niantic, who worked on the successful augmented reality mobile game Ingress, will bring their valuable experience to the popular Nintendo franchise. So it appears the game is in good hands.
Nintendo will also be releasing a bluetooth device compatible with the game called the Pokemon GO Plus. It is not necessary to enjoy the game, but it does have some perks. The device will allow budding Pokémon trainers to perform basic actions in the game such as catching Pokémon with the simple press of a button. It will also alert players of nearby Pokémon and events.
The Pokémon GO Plus. Wear your guilty pleasure!
The game will be free to download and play, but expect lots of potential in-game purchases.... and a hefty cellphone bill.
No official release date has been announced, but Pokémon GO is scheduled to be available on Google Play and the App Store in 2016.
The CW debuted the season 4 trailer for Arrow at Dragon Con and it has a few surprises.
Yes, that is Constantine at the 43 second mark. Looking forward to that crossover. Now if another network could just pick up the series where it left off.
Also noteworthy, Diggle debuts his new crimefighting costume this season.
Magneto?
It's about time he donned a mask. Diggle looks a bit like a modern version of The Guardian, an obscure hero from the pages of DC Comics.
The trailer also showed off Neal McDonough as Damien Darkh, Alexander Calvert as Anarky, Echo Kellum as Mr. Terrific, and the return of Caity Lotz as Sarah Lance. Season 4 is going to be interesting to say the least.
The new season of Arrow will premiere on Wednesday, October 7th at 8pm/7c on The CW.
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.
Ryan Reynolds stars in the awesome red band trailer for Deadpool!
Looks like they really understand what the "Merc with a Mouth" is all about. The humor and violence expected of the character appears to be all intact.
Ryan Reynolds helped produce the film, which became his passion project. Directed by Tim Miller, the film also stars TJ Miller, Gina Carano, Brianna Hildebrand, Morena Baccarin, and Ed Skrein.
Here is a synopsis:
"Based upon Marvel Comics' most unconventional anti-hero, DEADPOOL tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life."
Deadpool will arrive in US theaters on February 12, 2016.
The Joker returns in the Comic-Con trailer for Suicide Squad!
This is basically a long teaser, but it gives audiences a good look at the cast and, what everyone has been waiting for, a better look at the Joker. Jared Leto looks terrifying as the Clown Prince of Crime, but who is he talking to? Looking forward to seeing more.
Directed by David Ayer, the film stars Will Smith as Deadshot, Jared Leto as The Joker, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, Karen Fukuhara as Katana, Adam Beach as Slipknot, and Jay Hernandez as El Diablo.
No official plot synopsis has been released, but we do know the film centers on a group of supervillains who are recruited by the government to execute highly dangerous black ops missions in exchange for clemency.
Suicide Squad is scheduled to arrive in US theaters on August 5, 2016.
Warner Bros. has released the Comic-Con trailer for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. "Black and blue. God vs. man. Day vs. night."
Although I am still not too sure about Lex Luthor with the ugly shirt and toupee, Jesse Eisenberg's acting is great, and everything else looked amazing. The only real concern is how much it looks like they are cramming into this movie. That said, it is difficult not to get hyped for this. Batman is livid with Superman for the destruction from the first film, and Ben Affleck's acting is looking above form in the trailer.
Noteworthy: we finally got to see Wonder Woman in action! Also, will Zod's dead body come into play somehow? Is the child Wayne is holding going to be his Robin? How does Aquaman figure into the story? What was with that fight between Batman and those soldiers? So many questions, but I would rather wait to watch the movie for the answers.
Directed by Zack Snyder, the film stars Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Jesse Eisenberg, Jeremy Irons, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, Gal Gadot, and Jason Momoa.
Here is an official synopsis:
"Fearing the actions of a god-like super hero left unchecked, Gotham City's own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis' most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it's ever known before."
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will arrive in US theaters on March 25, 2016.
