Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition Has Over 200 Different Endings
Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition will include over 200 different arcade endings, classic bonus rounds and 6 arcade battle paths.
Street Fighter V will continue its path to becoming the game long-term fans expected with a huge Arcade Edition update (and standalone release) on January 16, 2018. In a post on the Capcom blog, the company revealed a few more details on what exactly fans can expect from the much-requested update.
First, Capcom confirmed that the 6 Arcade Battle paths included in the update will follow the stories of Street Fighter, Street Fighter II, Street Fighter Alpha, Street Fighter III, Street Fighter IV, and Street Fighter V. To further add to the nostalgic feel, each of these paths will only be playable by characters available in their respective instalment, so no playing as Vega in the original story path and so on.
Dissidia Final Fantasy NT: Watch 3 New Clips
Earlier today, Square-Enix released the opening cinematic for its upcoming Final Fantasy fighter, Dissidia Final Fantasy NT. Presented below, this flashy intro shows off fan favorites like the recently announced Noctis and Sephiroth duking it out in eye-popping CG style. Also, Tidus is there… if you’re into that sort of thing.
We had an opportunity to go hands-on with two new, but decidedly old-school characters. Below, check out new gameplay of Cloud of Darkness from Final Fantasy III (no, not that FFIII, the real FFIII).
Dark Phoenix, New X-Men and More Great Jean Grey Comics
Jean Grey is more than just a founding X-Men member. She is, in many ways, the quintessential X-Man: a person with a gift that they strive to use for good, despite the fear and anxiety it causes in themselves and others.
Or, it did. Jean was killed way back in 2003 during Grant Morrison and Phil Jimenez’s New X-Men run. While there’s an unspoken rule that any superhero that dies must eventually return, Jean’s death has lasted for a decade and a half — there's a whole generation of Marvel fans who’ve never known a modern X-team with her on it. But they’re about to. A five-issue miniseries by Matthew Rosenberg and Leinil Yu is coming this December called Phoenix Resurrection: The Return of Jean Grey that will bring Jean back from the grave, and then she'll be the leader of the new team called X-Men Red. Here are a few stories to help get you up to speed for one of the most hotly anticipated resurrections in years.
New Five Nights at Freddy’s Game Is Disguised as a Pizzeria Simulator
A new Five Nights at Freddy's game has been released, but it's not necessarily what you'd expect from the horror series.
Fans of the Five Nights at Freddy's series were undoubtedly disappointed earlier this year when series creator Scott Cawthon announced that the planned Five Nights at Freddy's 6 had been cancelled before even being officially announced; but we seem to have a replacement in the form of a... free pizzeria simulator?
As reported over on VG24/7, a new game has appeared on Steam under the title Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator. At first glance that's all it is, a simple 2D action game with basic menus.
The Division: New Free Update Is Enormous
The Division, Ubisoft's online-only action RPG set in the aftermath of a smallpox pandemic, has just received the free Update 1.8, and it is huge.
As detailed on the official website. it comprises whole new gameplay areas, new modes of play and significant changes for the game's Underground sections.
The biggest addition is the West Side Pier. A completely new area stretched over two sections (Piers North and Piers South), containing a new safe house - Camp Clinton - this will act as a new social hub "similar to the Terminal". This area also features a new dynamic spawning system for enemies, as well as new daily and special assignments. In this area, the enemy factions are "teaming up" to take on the Division.

Attack on Titan 2 Release Date, Details Announced
Koei Tecmo Europe has announced that Attack on Titan 2, the latest installment video game adaptation of the powerhouse manga series, will be launching on PS4, Xbox One, Switch and PC March 20, 2018.
The game follows in the footsteps of 2016's Attack on Titan, which retold the story of the anime and manga with additional scenarios providing a deeper dive into some of the series' key characters. Although expected to cover the events of the anime's second season, this new game allows players to create their own Scout - which Koei Tecmo promises will offer "a fresh perspective on the events of both seasons of the worldwide anime hit", implying that we may be looking back to the first season as well.
Second Jurassic World 2 Teaser is Nostalgia Overload
Following yesterday's Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom tease, Universal has released another 15 seconds of footage, and it's familiar enough to give you the shivers.
The footage shows Owen (Chris Pratt) and Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) opening up a shipping container to reveal a sleeping T-Rex - echoes of The Lost World, anyone?
Check it out below.
Both teasers are leading up to a complete Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom trailer that's due to drop Thursday in the USA, and Friday in Australia and Europe.
J.A. Bayona (A Monster Calls) is directing the Jurassic World sequel from a script co-written by Trevorrow. According to Trevorrow, the sequel will be "be more suspenseful and scary." Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is set to hit theaters on June 22, 2018.
AO Tennis Announced, Arrives in 2018
Tennis Australia and Melbourne-based sports game developer Big Ant Studios have today confirmed their new tennis game: AO Tennis. AO Tennis will be the first tennis game officially licensed to the Australian Open.
Built in collaboration with Tennis Australia, Big Ant claims AO Tennis will be the first game of its kind to be developed using statistical match play data for each of the dozens of licensed players it will feature. According to the announcement, Big Ant has used data showing which shots the included players have historically opted to use in specific circumstances throughout their matches and has applied that data to their AI versions.
“With previous tennis games, the world #1 would be challenging to beat, because his or her in-game attributes would be set to merely make fewer errors,” explained Big Ant CEO Ross Symons in the announcement. “That worked well at the time, but we’ve taken things to the next level.”
Tarantino Might Make a Star Trek Movie
File this under today's most unexpected news - a new rumor suggests Quentin Tarantino is planning to make a Star Trek movie at Paramount.
Sources close to Deadline say that Tarantino has cooked up a "great idea" for a Star Trek movie, and after sharing his idea with JJ Abrams (who 'rebooted' the series in 2009), a plan has reportedly been put in place to assemble a writer's room to begin building a script. If all goes to plan, Tarantino may direct the film, with Abrams attached to produce.
If the rumor is true, it's an unexpected move for the director, who's traditionally made his own original work (a couple of episodes of CSI and an episode of ER stand as the only exceptions). Further, the director is currently working on getting a distributor for what is supposedly the penultimate film in his career, based around Charles Manson and the Family murders. Would a Star Trek project really be his tenth and final film? Or is the news of his impending retirement now redundant?
