Rumor Patrol Marvel Vs Capcom 3 Comic Book Confirms Galactus And Taskmaster

Scans of pages of the alleged upcoming Marvel vs. Capcom comic have hit the internet, originally coming from artist Kevin Sharpe’s portfolio. While the art was taken down from the source site, the images have already been preserved on the vastness that is the internet. The images are particularly interesting as they all but confirm the inclusion of Galactus and Taskmaster in Marvel vs. Capcom 3. The news of their inclusion is not that surprising, however, considering the recent leaks via Twitter of the remaining Marvel vs....

Rumor Patrol Metal Gear Solid S Raiden In Assassin S Creed Brotherhood

As many of you know, Metal Gear Solid’s Raiden will soon be getting his very own video game (Metal Gear Solid: Rising), but apparently that’s not the only game you’ll be able to take control of the sword-wielding cyborg. An anonymous tipster has released photos of Raiden appearing as a playable character in Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood. Clearly a collaboration between Konami and Ubisoft, including Raiden in a popular game like Brotherhood is great advertisement for the eventual release of Rising....

Samurai Shodown S Haohmaru Slashes His Way Into Soulcalibur Vi

It’s been roughly a year since we learned that Samurai Shodown’s Haohmaru would be joining the cast of Soulcalibur VI. Crossovers are becoming the norm with fighting games, but a lot of the time the characters being mashed up don’t make sense. For once, Haohmaru was a perfect fit for the world that Soulcalibur is. This was a wandering ronin that could square off against the likes of Mitsurugi. That’s a dream match-up....

Sega Considered A Dreamcast Or Saturn Mini But It Would Have Been A Difficult And Expensive Process

Sega producer Yosuke Okunari has confirmed that the reason the company didn’t pursue creating a mini Dreamcast or Saturn because “both developing and manufacturing new chipsets during the pandemic is a difficult and expensive process”. In an interview with Famitsu, Okunari said - as paraphrased by Gosokkyu (thanks, NintendoLife) - the company did “explore the idea” of a Dreamcast or Saturn Mini but ultimately decided not to pursue it when Sega discovered manufacturing mini consoles had become more expensive post-pandemic (and post semiconductor shortage, of course)....

Shenmue 3 S Metacritic Score Might Be Inflated By Fake Accounts

It looks like Shenmue 3’s Metacritic score is getting bumped up by fake reviews. To be fair to Shenmue 3, users creating fake accounts to make a single review before disappearing back into the ether is nothing new, but it does seem to be a popular pastime among Shenmue fans. At least, according to a recent Reddit post. Thanks go out to Reddit user Nogebator18 for first noticing something suspicious going on at Metacritic and then posting a few examples to the PC Gaming subreddit....

Shenmue Iii Pc Backers Will Be Able To Get Refunds May Take Up To 3 Months

It’s too bad that a game that so many people were looking forward to, Shenmue III, has been drug through a mire of controversial decisions. One of the biggest of these came after it was hastily shown to be an Epic Games Store exclusive title back during the PC Gaming Show at E3, much to the disdain of those who backed it and were expecting a Steam version. Initially, the devs told backers that they would not be refunding Kickstarter pledges from players who are only interested in playing the Steam version of the game....

The on-hold Alien movie from District 9 director Neill Blomkamp is very much still alive according to franchise star Sigourney Weaver. “Well, we have a great script.

The PlayStation 4 exclusive has no mode where you can battle others online, in fact, it has no online mode whatsoever. It is simply a single player game with an in-depth story mode, just like the good old days....
