Cup

Michael Martin brought the thunder over at the PlayStation Blog a few days ago. The eSports Manager at Capcom talked about some news regarding Capcom Cup 2017. This new edition of the prestigious tournament series that will take place next month will have a huge prize pool. One of the highest prize pools in the event’s history.

Martin confirmed that this is all thanks to the Street Fighter V community. Their continued patronage through The CPT 2017 DLC initiative was a very reliable source to produce the money in the prize pool.

This year’s bonus contribution to Capcom Cup’s prize pool will exceed over $120,000 USD. That means with a base prize pool of $250,000 USD, the Top 8 finalists will compete for a prize pool worth more than $370,000 USD and rising at Capcom Cup 2017.

With the fact that the last year’s tournament took a prize pool of $230,000 USD, this is a $140,000 USD increment over last year’s prize pool. And a very attractive incentive for the participants of the eSports tournament.

Martin also mentioned that as thanks for the continued support of the Street Fighter V community. The 2017 CPT initiative will continue to be available until November 29. Not only that but they also brought back the CPT 2016 DLC back at a reduced price. Here’s a breakdown of both DLC packs.

I always wanted to be a journalist who listens. The Voice of the Unspoken and someone heavily involved in the gaming community. From playing as a leader of a competitive multi-branch team to organizing tournaments for the competitive scene to being involved in a lot of gaming communities. I want to keep moving forward as a journalist.

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.
