The Tekken 7 release is rapidly approaching, and after game producer and director Katsuhiro Harada sent out a tweet asking what new characters fans would like to see as DLC in Tekken 7, the suggestions were numerous. Requests ranged from realistic to outright outrageous, but one probable inclusion as a playable character is Nier Automata’s 2B.
Nier Automata released to rave reviews at the end of February, and 2B accumulated quite the fan base. 2B is a popular request, but to see an inclusion in Tekken 7, fans will have to vote. There’s also the whole issue of Nier Automata being a Square Enix property while Tekken 7 is a Bandai Namco property. It’s possible that a collaboration between the two would make sense, but it’s still up in the air and so far nothing’s been confirmed. If fans were to have their way, however, we would be seeing 2B in the DLC.
As popular as 2B is for a playable character, the dude leading the polls is Yakuza’s Kazuma Kiryu. Kazuma is a formidable martial artist who most recently made an appearance in Yakuza 0. Adding a Japanese martial artist seems like a no-brainer for a fighting game like Tekken.
In other news, the inclusion of Akuma from Street Fighter has been confirmed by the development team. He’ll play a central role in the game, says producer Katsuhiro Harada:
“Akuma actually is part of the Mishima storyline in some way. I would also hesitate to call him a ‘guest character’ because he is hardly a guest. He is a formidable foe.”
The fact that Akuma will be included and is from an IP not owned by Bandai Namco gives some hope to players who are hoping for Nier Automata’s 2B in Tekken 7. The characters are definitely still up in the air and fans still have a chance to influence the vote. Vote for your favorite with some tweets to Katsuhiro Harada, and maybe your influence will help decide a major character in Tekken 7’s DLC!
Tekken 7 is being developed by Bandai Namco and is scheduled for release on Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC on June 2, 2017.
Since the excellent Baldur’s Gate 3 has been out in the wild for a while, interesting data can be gleaned, such as how players choose to play an innovative new RPG from home. Stats from developer Larian Studios and posted on the PlayStation Blog show that most people want to play as a stealthy archer like in Skyrim when given nearly limitless options.
According to a fascinating graph, Rogue/Ranger is the most popular multiclass build, with over 175,000 players using it to snipe unsuspecting enemies from range. The next two builds reveal similarly. 150,000 played Barbarian/Fighter because they loved pummeling things, and 109,00 played Barbarian/Paladin, which lets players talk to their victims before beatings.
More sense emerges as you descend. If the Paladin/Warlock/Sorcerer/Bard has high Charisma, any combination can be interesting. Charisma helps these classes cast spells and abilities and interact with NPCs outside of combat.
Playing a single class through Baldur’s Gate 3 feels great, which is what most players do. A pure Fighter or Wizard becomes so powerful by game’s end that we don’t blame you for not mixing things up!
Play as a Tiefling Oathbreaker Paladin, Dark Urge Origin (which you must resist), or Bard for real moral dilemmas. You could also play pseudo-Aragorn again.
Techland is continuing to release Dying Light 2 content as part of its long-term support. This is surprising since the meaty Good Night, Good Luck update was released a few months ago. It’s nice to know what’s coming, but no timeline was given.
IGN-exclusive roadmap trailers reveal more co-op missions, board quests, a tower raid, and replayable GRE anomalies. Executions and finishers may be added to the April Gut Feeling update, which overhauled melee mechanics. Graphical options, weapon repair, gear, and mod dismantling are always welcome.
Knives, polearms, and more enemy variants are coming, including a Nightmare difficulty. Changes to NG+ include firearms. Players can finally dress to their hearts’ content with new cosmetic options.
Has Techland’s Dying Light 2 support lured you back? Would you rather focus on something new?
Epic Games expanded the Fortnite V-Buck “pricing alignment” after laying off almost 900 employees, citing “inflation and currency fluctuations”. Fortnite’s premium currency will rise in international markets, including the largest.
Epic Games will raise the price of V-Bucks and real money content packs in the Czech Republic, Denmark, Eurozone countries, Hungary, Japan, Norway, Poland, Romania, Sweden, Turkey, and the US (including all US Dollar storefronts) on October 27.
Raising the price of this fictitious currency was successful when the company trialed it in the UK, Canada, and Mexico, so it was decided to announce it worldwide now. These USD increases range from $1 (1000 V-Bucks, previous $7.99) to $10 (13,500 V-Bucks, previous $79.99).
How do you view Epic’s timing and pricing increase?
