Crossovers let characters who would normally never meet combine forces for either good or evil, and that’s just happens in Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite’s story.

The trailer for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite gets right to the point: Marvel supervillain Ultron and the Mega Man X franchise’s main antagonist Sigma have used the powers of the Infinity Stones to combine into a single godlike entity called Ultron Sigma. While the trailer does not explicitly state what Sigma and Ultron did after combining, it implies Ultron Sigma used the Infinity Stones to combine the Marvel and various Capcom universes into one conglomerate reality. To add insult to injury, he (or would it be they?) then took up residence in Asgard.

Despite being called a story trailer, the video is primarily focused on introducing Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite’s characters as they fight Ultron robots, brainwashed Asgardian warriors, and Ultron Sigma. Actually, fight is too strong a word; it’s more like Ultron Sigma wipes the floor with the characters introduced in the trailer while the robots and Asgardian soldiers run interference, but I digress. Some characters are introduced so quickly you’ll miss them if you blink, while others receive a bit more screen time. The characters in the trailer are:

  • Strider Hiryu (the original one, not the Strider Hiryu from the 2014 Strider game)
  • The Incredible Hulk
  • Chris Redfield
  • Thor
  • Mega Man X (or sometimes just X)
  • Captain America
  • Captain Marvel (not to be confused with the current Ms. Marvel)
  • Chun-Li
  • Hawkeye
  • Iron Man
  • Rocket Racoon

This character roster is rather short compared to previous Marvel vs. Capcom games and does not include some series staples, including Wolverine and Spider Man. Furthermore, previously announced characters such as Ryu and Morrigan Aensland are curiously missing from the trailer, but I fully expect them to have significant roles in upcoming trailers.

As we have come to expect from most game trailers, the story trailer for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite ends with the announcements of the Deluxe and Collector’s Editions. The Deluxe Edition will include six premium costumes and six new DLC characters, including Sigma, which means that Ultron might also be a playable character. The Collector’s Edition, on the other hand, contains a metric ton of physical goodies, including light-up replicas of the Infinity Stones and statues of Iron Man, Captain Marvel, Chun-Li, and Mega Man X.

According to the trailer, Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is scheduled to release September 19th. With luck, the game will deliver on the awesomeness promised by the trailer.

Fear not; for those worried about potential censorship issues with the PS5-exclusive Stellar Blade, set to release on April 26th, Sony has got you covered. ShiftUp, the developer, proudly assures players that the game will maintain its uncensored content across all regions, including Japan.

We have to admit, we didn’t anticipate this as a potential issue or a potential selling point. The main character, Eve, and her revealing costumes have been heavily showcased in the game’s pre-release marketing. Nevertheless, it is pleasing to witness ShiftUp’s evident enthusiasm as their vision prepares to reach the hands of a vast number of players.

Regarding Stellar Blade, Yoko Taro believes it surpasses NieR: Automata, and we were pleased to learn that the game will be considerate of your PS5 storage capacity. The demo is now available for you to try, and it has nearly doubled the daily active users of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This is quite impressive, especially considering it is the game’s first console showing.

Will you be there to experience Stellar Blade on its release day? It’s certainly a relief to witness the game remaining uncensored until the last moment. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

There hasn’t been much buzz lately about any new acquisitions in the world of video game intellectual property. According to a recent report, Sony is currently engaged in discussions with a well-funded partner to potentially acquire the renowned film studio Paramount, along with all the exciting possibilities that come with such a merger.

As reported in the New York Times (thanks, ResetEra), Sony Picture Entertainment is reportedly in discussions with Apollo Global Management, an investment firm, as per two sources familiar with the matter. In the past, Apollo had made an offer to acquire Paramount for a minimum of $26 billion, but their bid was ultimately turned down.

The terms of the joint bid are currently under discussion, and there is a chance that the two parties may decide against making a formal offer. Unnamed sources have revealed that Paramount is currently in exclusive discussions with Skydance, preventing any official offer from being made at this time. Investor opposition to the recent deal that Skydance brought seems to have been significant.

The potential impact of such an acquisition is immense. First and foremost, it would introduce adaptations of Sonic and Halo into the expanding media empire of the PlayStation platform holder. Following the announcement, Paramount’s stock experienced a significant 11% surge in after-hours trading.

What are your thoughts on the news? Is there a possibility of Sony acquiring Paramount? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

In the ongoing conflict against the Automaton invasion fleet, the Helldivers 2 players have successfully halted their advance. However, the situation has now reached a tiresome stalemate. Yet again, the machines refuse to take a break from their relentless pursuit of progress, with reports emerging of the Factory Striders being deployed in record-breaking quantities.

There have been reports of alleged machines that were supposedly encountered during Operation Swift Disassembly, which was just the beginning of a larger campaign. However, these accounts should be taken with a grain of salt, as they are unverified and seem to be more on the imaginative side. Factory Striders have gained a reputation as formidable weapons platforms that can produce more Automatons while enduring significant damage. If the machines are able to withstand such a relentless assault, it will be necessary to develop innovative strategies.

Have you come across groups of Factory Striders in Helldivers 2? Which strategies are proving to be the most effective in taking down these armored brutes? The Orbital Railcannon Strike will prove to be a valuable asset in the comments section below.
