Rumors can be fickle. Regardless of their validity, they can either make or break the hype for a video game, television show, or movie, and regrettably, the purported leak of Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite’s character roster isn’t doing the game many favors.

Earlier today, NeoGAF user Ryce (from what I have read he/she tends to be accurate) posted the leaked character roster for Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite:

Notice anything missing from the list? Not a single X-Men character or villain is in the roster. Wolverine, Storm, X-23, and Phoenix (aka. Jean Grey, not Phoenix Wright, but yes he also isn’t in this roster) are missing, which is strange since Wolverine has been a staple of the Marvel vs. Capcom franchise since the first game. Even X-Men villains Magneto and the Sentinel robot aren’t present. This lack of representation is even more depressing when you realize that characters such as Colossus, Cyclops, Juggernaut, and Gambit have been missing since Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Yet somehow, the mad titan Thanos is making his return in Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite.

The news is not all bad, though. The main antagonist of the Darkstalkers franchise, Jedah, will finally appear in the Marvel vs. Capcom franchise, as will Gamora, Groot, Captain Marvel, Ultron, and the nameless Monster Hunter protagonist. Of course, the list doesn’t include Mega Man X villain Sigma, which implies that the list is incomplete and, at the very least, does not include DLC characters. However, Ryce did later confirm that Spider-Man on-again off-again villain Venom will return as DLC, ableit at an unspecified date.

With luck, we can determine the accuracy of Ryce’s leak during E3 2017. With even more luck, Capcom plans to include X-Men characters in Marvel vs Capcom Infinite. If not, we will just have to hope the company includes them in the inevitable updated re-release of the game.

All you have to do to get my attention is talk about video games, technology, anime, and/or Dungeons & Dragons - also people in spandex fighting rubber suited monsters.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
