Last week we finally got ourselves a look at Injustice 2’s main villain, Braniac. We found out why he arrived on Earth in the midst of Superman’s regime making a comeback and the newly formed Society. Also, people seemed to really enjoy Black Canary’s “holy sh–” moment. Regardless, NetherRealm Studio’s take on the big bad was both true to Braniac’s character and something a little different. Especially in the small moments of combat gameplay in last week’s trailer.

Today, we get a full combat trailer dedicated to Braniac and his movesets. You best believe those tentacles and/or probes play a big part in his arsenal. He also has a few projectiles attacks from the side and above. Let’s just hope those won’t be spammed or exploitable in any bad way. Lastly, Braniac’s super essentially boils down to holding an opponent on the ground via robot clones as a giant energy blast rains upon his enemy from one of his ships. It may not be the most visually stimulating, but it sure looks powerful. You can check out the footage below.

Brainiac is a megalomaniacal genius who roams the universe, collecting knowledge to increase his intellectual and scientific prowess. Obsessed with establishing his superiority, Brainiac captured Krypton’s greatest cities, then eradicated what remained…or so he thought.”

Additionally, we have to give props to one of the comments who brings in an Avengers reference when Gorilla Grodd tosses Braniac around like the Hulk did to Loki.

Injustice 2 is being developed by NetherRealm Studios and being published by WB Games. The sequel will release on May 16th for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. We’ll see if Braniac brings a bigger threat than the evil Justice League did in the first title. I’m certainly looking forward to his gear set since they’re customizable in this game.

Are you excited for Injustice 2 and the oncoming threat of Braniac? Do you think the alternate dimension’s Superman will realize the error of his ways when he confronts Braniac’s world destroying plans? What aspect are you most looking forward to? Let us know in the comments!

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.
