I don't have enough to purchase the game and don't feel like watching cutscenes online. I'm going to ask if in story mode there are any hints of obvious future DLC characters (Like if Starfire showed up in storymode similar to Tanya) or significant NPC characters. Please keep all replies in spoiler tags and double check it.

Starfire and Jason are name dropped on the intro chapter but that is far as acknowledging their existence go. Some premier skins like Reverse Flash or Grid do show up through the plot as minor characters. Besides that, the multiple cameos on arcade ladder endings are the only thing one could consider as hits for future DLC

Reaction from people on Twitter with early copies is positive. Coach Steve says Grodd is one of the most fun characters he's ever played in a fighting game. I can't wait til next week, early tournaments for new games are always rad.

Robin seems to be the most popular character, but I see lots of buzz for Cold and Wonder Woman too.

Boo, if you block an attack or get hit while holding Brainiac's trait or while its on screen, you lose it.

No idea. I was hoping it would work similarly to a sonic boom or something where you can summon it to cover your advance but apparently that's not possible. I guess it works this way so you can't release it while you're being comboed to get a free break?

Does anyone know how Cyborg's robot friends work? Do they disappear on hit/block too?

No streams until Monday at 22:00 Mountain Time. People are posting clips on Twitter and YouTube but anything related to story content seems to be getting nuked really fast.

I get not wanting story stuff to leak early, but not letting people stream training room or versus is passing up free advertising.

I got my copy at a my local Street Date breaking store, (If you are in SoCal, and near Long Beach or LA, look up Gameplay), and it is pretty great so far. One thing I like (Forgive me if this was in the last game, I forget if it was) is that all the characters have tutorial challenges that take you through a few special moves and combo strings. It is not nearly as comprehensive as Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator tutorials, but they do help with where to start on a character, and they reward a silver loot box for each set.

Apparently, the box says that it has PS Pro Enhancements. I do not quite see them, but then, 4K gaming is kind of a snake oil right now (Take it from me, a sucker who fell for it).

On the other hand, it has HDR, which IS a great enhancement!

I think his Roomba only goes away once it blows up.

SonicFox already putting out sick clips of Cold, Scarecrow. Also mentioned Joker could "6-4 Aquaman easy" which excites me that the worst character might now be equals with the best character from the last game

They said on the latest stream that Cyborg's bots don't disappear on hit since they take so long to recharge.

That's fair I suppose. Brainiac's charges a lot quicker and he can launch several in a row.

The last game had only a generalized tutorial.

Given is only a reskin of Cold, they had to ditch the bulky armor to avoid making too jarring his animations, and even then it looks weird at times.

Personally it has grown on me.

Freeze's lines seem decent enough, the accent works for him. honestly the design is just missing the bubble helm, there have been plenty of sleeker Mr Freeze looks (even his suit in BTAS wasn't very bulky). i dont like the bared arms or the weird pants. the chest stuff is fine. he's not entirely stupid looking, but hes hamstrung by the limitations of being a skin for Captain Cold

here's hoping we see them add a more BTAS looking variant of him as DLC or something. i'd love to see some costume variants for the Premier Shader characters since they don't have gear

Modern consoles pre load your preorders for you then unlock the moment it hits 12 am on mondays or w/e

do the second RE7 run through because its a good game.

Ah okay I don't normally digitally pre order because my hard drive was one of the old 500gb ones but I did this time because I replaced it with a 2TB harddrive on my PS4 so it wasn't as big of an issue to buy it digitally. I can hope and try to play it though can't I? I sure ash heck am gonna try haha. At least in the downloads list I know I am getting Darkseid, the Powergirl skin, etc.....

Edit: I was actually dreading playing the second runthrough of RE7. I really didn't like it - only RE game that comes to mind that I didn't like. but I paid for it and I am going to get my money's worth and see the other ending haha.

Edit: if it doesn't work I'll reread JL A League of One - WW Odyssey, and several other of my WW comics - the go start RE7 again haha - I hate waking up in the middle of the night haha.

Edit again: yup yeah playable in 1 day 21ish hours.
