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!

Want Diablo 4 immortality? Hardcore Level 100 Before Most Others

The devilish launch of Diablo 4 is days away (less for Ultimate Edition buyers). Blizzard has promised the ultimate reward for the first 1000 players to accomplish level 100 on Hardcore Mode: a statue of in-game antagonist Lillith.

Diablo 4’s Hardcore Mode is a character-creation-only difficulty adjuster. It automatically deletes characters when they die, making things infinitely harder regardless of World Tier. But 100? That’s several playthroughs on increasingly difficult World Tiers with new adversaries in harsher setups and about 150 hours of flawlessly rapid gameplay.

Honoring the dying.

Being remembered with those brave souls lost on the journey is the ultimate gamer boast. Do you dare?

Do you like Layers of Fear’s whole trophy list? Do you want the Plat?

The PlayStation Showcase, which divided fans and prompted our full-throated Reaction, was a ratings winner. Gamesight’s number crunchers found that PlayStation fans were drawn in by the appeal alone, even though many of the titles we wanted to see didn’t show up.

It’s possible certain Showcase games were withheld. Summer Game Fest may bring something? Watched the big spectacle live?
