Street Fighter V

Even though Street Fighter V, the latest entry of the series created by Capcom launching on PlayStation 4 and PC, is still far from release, we have been receiving new details pretty often. No new character has been revealed recently but today a new video and some new screenshots for the game have surfaced online, showcasing the Street Fighter V tutorial mode.

The Street Fighter V tutorial mode is going to be quite unique, as it will feature young Ryu and Ken in their classic Street Fighter outfits as they are trained by none other than master Gouken. You can check out the video showcasing the Street Fighter V tutorial mode and the new screenshots right below.

Ten days ago the Street Fighter V Beta has been made available again on PlayStation 4. The new Beta build was different from the previous ones as it included several gameplay tweaks, like changes to Chun Li’s V-Skill, as well as other graphical changes.

The latest character to get confirmed for Street Fighter V is the classic Street Fighter character Dhalsim. The character will come with some of his iconic special moves as well as some new ones that will make him play differently from previous Street Fighter games.

Dhalsim is only one of the returning Street Fighter V characters. Among the fighters coming from previous entries are Ryu, Ken, Chun Li, Cammy, M. Bison, Vega and others as well as R. Mika and Karin from Street Fighter Alpha 3. Alongside returning fighters, Street Fighter V will also feature brand new characters such as Necalli, Laura and others.

Street Fighter V will be released on February 2016 on PlayStation 4 and PC in all regions. We will keep you updated on the game as soon as more comes in on it so stay tuned for all the latest news on Capcom’s next big fighting game.

Sony Has a “Monopoly” on the High-End Japanese Gaming Market, According to a US Senator

The never-ending saga surrounding Microsoft’s proposed $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard has a new participant.  Today, Senator Maria Cantwell, a Democrat from the state of Washington, said some things about the subject that were hard to understand.

The senator, whose remarks were reported on by ResetEra, spoke at a Senate finance committee hearing on “the president’s 2023 Trade Policy Plan,” which we are sure was quite interesting.

Senator Cantwell said that she had been told that Sony “controls a monopoly of 98% of the high-end game market” despite the fact that “Japan’s government has allowed Sony to engage in blatant anti-competitive conduct through exclusive deals and payments to game publishers, establishing games that are among the most popular in Japan.”

This 98% statistic is highly deceptive because it ignores PC, Nintendo, and mobile games and instead refers to Sony’s adoption rate over Microsoft in Sony’s native country of Japan, a fact that shouldn’t surprise anyone who is even somewhat familiar with the video game business.

What can we do to rectify these problems and create a level playing field, she said of US Trade Representative Katherine Tai after charging Japan’s Federal Trade Commission with improperly failing to look into this purported “exclusionary conduct”?

It is absurd to claim that Sony has a monopoly on the Japanese video game market, as Luke Plunkett of Kotaku correctly points out, “because Sony doesn’t even have a 98% share of the market for the God of War series, a title they own, as Steam is getting 30% of every sale on PC.”

It goes without saying that we can’t expect elected officials to be experts in every field, but this is a visible step at a time when the ongoing attempt to buy the company is at a very important point.

Is it significant that Microsoft, along with Nintendo, maintains its headquarters in Redmond, Washington—Senator Cantwell’s district—or that Microsoft has given Cantwell more than $500,000 over the past two decades?  Let us leave that up to you.

Pizza Possum is an arcade action game in which you, a possum, attempt to consume as much trash as you can without being discovered.  It is a web-based sequel to the anarchy simulator Untitled Goose Game.It will eventually be available on the PS5.

We couldn’t help but notice that the possum in the title doesn’t look like the cute Australian possum that comes out at night to visit people.On the other hand, it looks like the horrible North American opossums are the ones that will attack trash cans and cause general chaos.Even though we think the second choice was better in terms of theme, we prefer the first one and are happy to explain why.

Your thoughts on Pizza Possum?  Does it possess the necessary mass appeal to successfully skitter along the back fenceline while setting the dog off in the process?
