TGS 2019 Capcom's commitment to E-Sports Presentation

No new info regarding SFV but the President reiterates their commitment to e-sports and SFV to be involved in the Intel World Open .
I'm curious how this "commitment" will affect the Street Fighter Franchise as SFV's life span is nearing the end of it's plan. Season 4 will be concluding December 15th at Capcom cup and 2020 will, what many believe be SFV's final season. So should we expect Capcom to reveal SFVI at the conclusion of the Intel World Tour July 24th 2020? It seems like a no brainer to me, everyone will be tuning in for the opening ceremony of the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.....talk about fantastic exposure!

TGS 2019 Castlevania Grimoire of Souls Trailer

I'm still playing Castlevania Anniversary Collection and have yet to play Bloodstained: RotN, and looking forward to hearing some news regarding Netflix 3rd season of their Castlevania animated series! Now Konami drops the trailer for CastleVania: Grimoire of Souls which looks really impressive and has some rather unique multiplayer game play modes...but the game is only for mobile devices!!!!
COME ON KONAMI GET YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR ASSES!!!!

TGS 2019 Death Stranding Trailer and Gameplay Video

Death Stranding is only 58 days away and despite all the gorgeous trailers and deep dives into the rabbit hole I'm starting to wonder if what we see is what we're getting. On face value the game looks like a 21st century hiking simulator.
So graphics are a 10, it looks like some of the MGSV assets were reused when they showed Sam fighting some NPC's, the story still has me scratching my head. The level of detail as great as it is might become tedious for a game that has you traveling across America to "connect" the people.
I have to believe Kojima will not disappoint when it comes to the story, but as of right now all I can say is the game looks spectacular.

TGS 2019 FFVII Remake Trailer

3/3/2020 can't come soon enough!
This game is looking so gorgeous! I cannot believe it's been 23 years since Final Fantasy VII originally launched on the PS1! God I feel old!! I remember skimming thru EGM to check out the screen shots of FFVII at the Software Ect in Cross County and feeling the same hype I'm feeling now after seeing this trailer.

Star Wars Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker D23 "trailer"


I bet when 2/3 of the Titanic was already submerged the crew got frantic and just started coming up with all kinds of cockamamie idea's...we can see this in the D23 "trailer" for TRoS...
First off literally 56 seconds of this "trailer" is nothing but a reminder of better times....before Disney. Thanks for the trip down nostalgia lane but I thought you wanted us to "let the past die, kill it if we have to". And how did you respond to criticism of TLJ from fans like myself???

And the rest is just....cockamamie








Are we supposed to believe C-3PX is gonna be in RotS, or is this confirmation of the recent plot leak the C-3PO mistakenly uploads the memory unit of an old combat droid. It wasn't funny in AotC, it certainly won't be funny now.




Image result for attack of the clones c 3po attack droid


So Rey is a Sith Temple Guard?? Nice connection to Rebels, but futile. the writers of BVS pale in comparison to Dave Filoni, the prodigal son of the Maker!
















There's a difference between thematic juxtaposition for story telling purpose and control C, control V. I don't think Jar Jar realizes this!
I fear this trilogy was rushed out with out a clear story planned, character development planned out and has not connected to kids my son's age. The ST has created a rift in the fandom as far apart in opinion as the Jedi and Sith philosophies and only a master who knows all the aspects of the force can reunite the fandom! Clearly the person IS NOT Kathleen Kennedy!
I propose a vote of no confidence in Kathleen Kennedy, and propose Dave Filoni be considered as the new Chancelor of Lucasfilm!

The Mandalorian | Official Trailer


Bounty hunting is a complicated profession.

After the stories of Jango and Boba Fett, another warrior emerges in the Star Wars universe. “The Mandalorian” is set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order. We follow the travails of a lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy far from the authority of the New Republic.



 



The Mandalorian, an original Star Wars series, starts streaming November 12, only on #DisneyPlus.

D23 Expo Obi Wan Kenobi LIVES! On D+

Well hello there...
The ST has been a bit disappointing, but this puts a smile on my face!
The D23 Expo has not disappointed so far, I'm already so excited for The Mandalorian and now we have Ewan McGregor returning as Obi Wan Kenobi! When Solo failed at the B.O. and Iger reported that Disney was going to slow the Star Wars franchise machine down and the often rumored Kenobi film was axed many fans, myself included cried out and were suddenly silenced.
But alas a New Hope has been born with Ewan Kenobi and D+!

We did get a good look at the updated Star Wars "canonical" time line, and according to this Luke will be roughly 6-7 years old during the show, Maul is out there, possibly on Dathomir building the Crimson Dawn crime syndicate. This is roughly 8 years before Maul is found on Malachor. And 13 years before Maul meets his final demise at the hands of Obi Wan Kenobi on Tatooine.
I pray this show delivers. I'll be watching this shows development with great interest!

Love and Hate the FGC VS The Gun Violence blame game


Here we go again!
Another mass shooting in America, 2 actually and here comes the blame game from politicians....
I've been playing Video games since the Atari 2600, I've played Street Fighter since 1987 and many many other games that are "violent". I guess I'm waaaay overdue for a egregious act of violence!
Yes I get salty when I lose a match in Street Fighter...It's a competitive game and I'm competitive in nature...I like to win, who doesn't?
 But the video game industry seems like an easy scapegoat to the talking heads, there's been an abundant number of case studies to prove Video games do not "make" people violent to the point they go into public places and unload a semi automatic rifle or blow up buildings with people!!!
Evo 2019 is coming to a close and this year Yoshinori Ono a veteran producer at Capcom who loves attending the World's premiere fighting game tournament and share his love of Street Fighter with all the attendees with a hearty SHORYUKEN and a trailer for new content.
But as mentioned this years announcement leaked early on Steam and Ono was so defeated he tweeted that he didn't even want to go to EVO this year.
I just want to show the love that the FGC has when united, yeah we play games that involve violence but there's a heart and a level of unity that resonates stronger than all these violent atrocities that politicians want to blame video games for.
I think the government needs to look elsewhere for the cause. It seems America isn't the top consumer of video games but God Damn we EXCEL at gun violence!!!!
