More Marvel games have been delisted and removed from digital services with this time Activision published games being affected.

Quote:
Deadpool, a game that released on June 25, 2013, is no longer available for purchase on Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, or Steam -- and it's not alone.

Other games presumably impacted by a licensing agreement with Marvel coming to a close include Spider-Man: Friend or Foe, Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, Spider-Man: Edge of Time, X-Men: The Official Game, X-Men Destiny, and X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Game Informer has confirmed this list with Activision.

Yup, I looked at it and thought that Activision games don't usually go that low in price no matter the quality. Guess I understand why now.

Emperor Smeat 01-01-2014 05:41 PM
It getting pulled mysteriously from one of the community vote polls triggered people looking into what happened and the later discovery of other Marvel games getting pulled.

I've just bought a Steam redeemable CD key of Deadpool. Wheelman goes for about $50 right now, so I might hold onto this instead of playing it.

Final Fantasy X-2 had it's ending changed in the re-release to make a possibility for FFX-3. They didn't even bother to make a new scene for it, it's just audio with a picture on the screen.

SPOILER: show
- Most of this bonus audio are told by 2 characters: Chuami and Kurugum. They are sent to Besaid Island by Baralai to search for Yuna.

- Tidus isn't together with Yuna anymore, but of course, the real reason isn't explained. At the beggining of the drama, when Chuami, one of the protagonists asks Yuna about Tidus being her boyfriend, she still confirms, but at another point (although
I'm sure it's a lie) when the 2 protagonists are spying a convo between them, she is jealous about some Tidus' friend (Marufi - a friend according to him). Then, she tells him she doesn't care anymore and apparently got another person she likes. Weird enough, he just ask: Who?, which she replies "Someone you don't know."

- Later though, Tidus asks Lulu if she know about who could be Yuna's new love. Lulu gets pretty disappointed and says she thought Tidus would know Yuna a little bit more. She then tells Tidus to figure it himself.

- The weird part about this is when Kurugum, the other protagonists, tells Chuami that he likes Yuna and they should separate from each other. (Like they are trying to induce people to believe he is Yuna's new love, but I doubt it could be, as he has a voice of a 14 years old kid).

- Tidus is still a Blitzball star, but when Chuami handshake him, she notices he's pretty injured and with no energy at all, although he is trying to hide it. Later, when she meets him again, hiding from someone in Bevelle, she also notices he's injured. This may be related to why he and Yuna aren't together anymore.

- Apparently, Yuna woke up from her "bad dream" (aka her FFX-2 version) and is talking like her FFX self again. Rikku and Paine aren't mentioned in this bonus audio.

- Sin is back, although it's not explained why and how it's back. It's told, however, that it was activated by something (note that they use the word Summoned anymore).

- One of the protagonists (Chuami) of this bonus audio drama claims to be Auron's daughter, although this is confronted by Lulu when she mentions about it. Lulu even saus she doesn't look like Auron like Yuna looked like Braska and Tidus looked like Jecht.

- When she asks Lulu if her mother is a liar, she tells her that she wouldn't go so far, but if Auron was really her father, he would definitively make sure she would know, because that's how Auron was.

- In the end of the bonus audio, Yuna's famous words from FFX about defeating Sin are back, with the crowd cheering. You know what that means, right?


There's also been an official novel been released which seems to tie into the same story but with more detail and it just sounds hilarious. It's supposed to be canon and if it is, I will watch FFX-3 on YouTube because it will be hilarious.

SPOILER: show
Quote:
This is a glorious trainwreck. I think I found some scans of the novel pages. Tidus' uh...unfortunate fate 2 days after being revived by Yuna?

The reviewer's weren't kidding about the gore. Tidus sees a ball roughly the size of a blitz ball, and comes to the conclusion that that's what it exactly is. So he proceeds to run and kick it... explodes. It was a bomb. Yuna gets thrown back by the explosion.... along with Tidus' head which promptly lands by Yuna with his expression frozen with surprise. She promptly passes out.

Yuna resurrects him using pyreflies, however it seems that if Tidus realizes what he is, he'll disappear (whether that means off to the Farplane, or from existence I'm not sure). It seems overall this explaination wasn't explained too well so it could be off the mark. This could explain though why she's seeming cold towards him in the audio drama.

I kinda want X-3 now just to see how far Square will go in their insanity.

A lot of the Japanese readers seem more upset that it was such an opposite tone to what the perfect ending in X-2 was, and the aformentioned gore and sexuality present.
Quote:
There's a lot of comments about how much they feel bad for Tidus, and that Yuna acts really cold towards him. There's a few saying they hate Yuna in the novel. There's apparently a lot of sexual stuff in it. There's a scan of one page in which Tidus tells Yuna if they get into battle he might lose his fighting spirit because he's distracted by how sexy she is. And apparently Tidus gets his head blown off by a bomb and dies (and only 2 days after getting resurrected), but he comes back to life again because he's made of Pyreflies, and Yuna has control over him.

Tekken's director Katsuhiro Harada stated in a recent interview with 4Gamer that he's currently working on two projects with the possibility of neither being Tekken related games.

Quote:
"there are a few titles that we’ve been quietly working on, and some we’ve been thinking about working on, so the year 2014 looks like it’ll be a tough one."

He also states, "From there, I’d like to announce at least two of those titles in 2014, and I feel that it’s something I must do."

TxSF dammit.

Fignuts 01-02-2014 07:00 PM
I think the SFxT release debacle killed any hope of that.

I'm more upset that there will probably never be a SFxT 2. Love the tekken characters. Best hope is that their movesets get put on made up original characters in a future capcom fighter, but the chances of even that are slim.

Kalyx triaD 01-02-2014 07:03 PM
I don't see why SFxT's 'issues' would disrupt a totally different game.

Fignuts 01-02-2014 07:12 PM
The games are connected in a lot of people's minds, even if it's different developers. It''s just a marketing thing.

Game still might happen, but if you think the delays have absolutely nothing to do with the backlash from sfxt, you're crazy.

Kalyx triaD 01-02-2014 08:29 PM
The backlash was game specific; TxSF won't have gems or Pandora.

You may well be right, but that just makes me pissed at gamers somemore.

Fignuts 01-02-2014 09:38 PM
It's more of a corporate marketing mentality than gamers. I'd bet a lot of the people bitching would have bought txsf anyway.

Several online networks and digital providers have been recently attacked by hackers with the biggest being from a group called DERP.

The attacks appeared to have started with League of Legends and recently spread to include Battle.net, Steam, and Origin. These attacks have also targeted individual gaming streamers with at least one known instance so far.

Quote:
Right now Steam is reportedly experiencing a DDoS attack, but their woes are one of many across the online gaming industry. Yesterday, EA’s Origin service found itself in a very similar situation and over the break; services like Battle.NET and the League of Legends servers were taken down. A hacker collective known as DERP is claiming these actions, along with some other rogue agents, all in an attempt to fuck with a single-gamer named Phantomlord.
Quote:
An online group or person going by the name DERP claims to have launched a DDoS (Distributed Denial-of-Service) attack on EA’s login servers, which took its Origin service offline for several hours earlier this morning.

During the outage players were unable to access several EA games on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, mobile, and PC, including Battlefield 4, FIFA 14, The Simpsons Tapped Out, and Star Wars: The Old Republic.

The attack began at around 7 p.m. PST last night, with DERP claiming to have aimed the “Gaben Laser Beam” at the EA login servers on Twitter. DERP also attacked several other games and services earlier this week, including Dota 2, League of Legends, and Battle.net. “We’ve directed the Gaben Laser Beam™ @ the EA login servers. Origin,” the group/person wrote.

RoXer 01-03-2014 07:42 PM
I'm pretty sure it was. Somewhere.

It looks very ambitious and if it delivers on most of what it promises then it should be pretty great. Their studio/office space flooded though and their insurance didn't cover it. I'm not if that will set them back but I'm assuming it will at least a little bit.

The last USF4 character is one of Bison's dolls. A black chick who used to work with Cammy during the Alpha days.

Are you basing this on anything, or just putting out some random hopeful supposition?

Stupid if accurate. Fans clamoring for all these other fighters, and Capcom's like "Hey let's put this broad in who was in the background of one cutscene of Alpha 3".

Fignuts 01-07-2014 05:18 AM
It's a female, never been in a fighter, and she's in the comics.

He may not have anything official, but I can't think of anyone else it could be.

Just hope that she has completely new, unique fighting style, and isn't just a Cammy remix.

Fignuts 01-07-2014 05:19 AM
And Capcom's recent track record for giving it's fans what they want, hasn't been very good as of late.

Kalyx triaD 01-07-2014 06:48 AM
I trust she will have the Doll uniform and gauntlets, but should have her own move-set. If she apes anything from Cammy at the very least it may be a few normals. I'd only imagine her being a gameplay clone of Cammy because of the time allotted to ship USF4. Now if they started on her early enough, and who's to say she wasn't a past scrapped design; she could have her own complete moveset.

But it's pretty fucking likely to be a Doll, and specifically the black one. Lots of different sources saying the same shit. The only other candidates are simply some other Doll, or Sakura's classmate - which would be such high trolling I could almost see that happening.

Fignuts 01-07-2014 07:04 AM
Wasn't Sakura's classmate in Rival Schools though?

Kalyx triaD 01-07-2014 07:07 AM
You may be thinking Hinata (also my secondary in that game).

And technically yeah her team were her classmates in that game, but she has a best friend that's appeared in her win poses in the Alpha games and was prominently featured during her solo comics by UDON. If Capcom wanted to troll, she's the safe bet - fitting every qualification to a T.

Kalyx triaD 01-07-2014 07:08 AM
In fact I'm now scared this is the case.

Pot splitting seems to ire people, which I don't see an issue with.

What really gets me is if you have a deal where you're gonna split the pot anyway, and you manage to make finals with your bud/bro, then don't be stupid enough as to throw the match by picking your secondaries all of a sudden with an audience of hundreds sometimes thousands watching. Just play the match straight up.
