No Decepticon in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly.

I mean I totally get it. Sony owns both Playstation and Spidey. It's just wishful thinking since I wanted to play it. But oh well.

Sony doesn't actually have any video game rights to Spider-Man from their movie contract.

This is a separate deal.

Marvel Heroes is finally getting a console version with the announcement of Marvel Heroes Omega. No word yet on whether it will be straight port or a new game in the same style. They did confirm that it will be free to play. Also only mentioning PS4 right now.

There's an FAQ on their forums actually.

It's a port, but missing some of the content (nothing major, the stuff they took out isn't played very much.)

Coming to Xbox later.

No connection to PC servers or accounts.

Speaking as a man who's stupid enough to have spent hundreds of dollars to be a yellow god in that game, I'll pass on this version unless they link the PC version to it. The grind to unlock everyone without paying is ungodly long and not worth the trip again.

Yup, it's nice for console gamers, and world of tanks has done really well on console, but I will be giving it a pass as, why? I have hardly played in months, which I regret but I'm not going to put time into starting over again.

Street Fighter V has been demanding a lot of Capcom's attention recently due to, to make a long story short, being a dumpster fire. It's probably safe to say at this point that MVC:I will come out strong at E3.

At this point all they have to do is promise it will be a full, finished game at launch and it'll have a leg up on SFV.

I would love them to have a proper story mode, since it'd be so much fun to have marvel characters and capcom characters interacting. It was a real missed opportunity of mvc3.

All we got were 30 second endings. :(

... also netcode that wasn't total rear end and didn't take 5 minutes to find a match would be good.

Injustice 2 looks really amazing, but i swore to myself I'll never buy a fighting game on release at full price, I'll always wait for the ultimate edition that has all the DLC, but drat it is hard to resist from what they've shown.

In the Catwoman trailer, Harley says "Me, you, Kate and Babs" and I can only assume she means Kate Kane meaning Batwoman is going to be a character in Injustice 2?

She's listed as a premium skin for Batman on the roster leak, which has thus far been spot on.

They're really trying hard to make me want to buy this game on release. Like is Power Girl an alt skin for Supergirl?

Aphrodite
Jun 27, 2006

Yes.

In Canada, the $100 digital only version comes with Powergirl, 3 DLC fighters (unnamed) and a shader. The $130 version comes with that, plus 6 extra DLC fighters, one more shader, and Reverse Flash and John Stewart premium skins.

They'll be available a la carte later I'm sure.

Ed Boon keeps saying the Batwoman skin isn't real, which just makes me think it's definitely real, because it's Ed Boon.

Aphrodite
Jun 27, 2006

There were 2 leaks, from what I can tell.

One was most of the main roster and has been 100% correct so far. The only remaining name on it is the Joker.

The other was just premium skins, like the CW characters voiced by their actors and some other stuff. Batwoman was on the second list. This one could still be fake, since nothing on it has been confirmed yet.

The last announcement being The Joker is the single most flaccid and boring announcement that could happen other than Red Hood.

I don't know why this didn't occur to me before, but since Luthor's super-pills are the explanation for everything in Injustice, that means that Harley's given them to her hyenas, and Selina's given one to that alley cat she can summon. This is a game where theoretically, you could KO Superman by siccing a house cat on him.

It'd be sort of traditional for NRS. The last announcement for MKX was... Liu Kang.

The Question IRL
Jun 8, 2013

Only two contestants left! Here is Doom's chance for revenge...

One of the rumoured premium skins I heard was Mr. Freeze as a skin for Captain Cold. If so that would entirely make sense and be pretty awesome.

And while it hasn't been announced I could also see them getting a lot of the CW cast to do skins for characters like how they did with Stephen Amel as Arrow in Injustice 1.

Aphrodite
Jun 27, 2006

Freeze is not officially confirmed, but his skin is briefly visible in a menu in a released video.

Sea Lily

Everything changes, Pit.

Freeze and Power Girl were on the same initial leak list that's been 100% correct so far, and both are basically confirmed by now as premier skins. Power Girl's in the fancy special editions but Freeze seems to be just a special gear drop in the normal game.

The other list hasn't had anything confirmed that wasn't on the original one though so Starfire and Red Hood (with Blackfire and Arkham Knight skins, respectively) would be the big things that could confirm that other list. They might be DLC or something but we've been told they'll announce some of the DLC characters before the game launches.

First episode of the Telltale Guardians is out. It suffers a little from the obvious issues a lot of their non-Borderlands licenses suffer from, namely that you know that some things are off-limits because they ain't killing Starlord in the first episode, but the focus is mostly on Quill and how he relates to family, both the found one in the form of the Guardians and his 'real' one, in the case of his mom and Yondu. It's clearly heavily influenced by the movie, but zigs at one point to the degree that it can't be intended to be set in the MCU. Yondu picks Peter up from his mother's funeral, and asks him to go with him, instead of kidnapping him just as Meredith dies

Otherwise, you know the drill. If you hate the formula, no reinventing the wheel here, and conversely, if the magic trick still entertains you, it's still there too.

Dialogue is mostly snappy, and Nolan North does a solid job imitating Cooper, and the dude playing Starlord does a solid Pratt. The others aren't really trying to mimic the movie actors, I don't think. (Well, Yondu still has the Michael Rooker accent/timbre, but it's obviously not Rooker)
