Capcom confirms you can pet the dog in Monster Hunter Rise, making this hellish year a bit easier to digest

Success I’m not gonna lie,Monster Hunter Riseis one of my most anticipatedMonster Huntergames in years. No, it’snot just because of the amiibo(although that plays a part)! I really dig how Capcom is going all-out on this cohesive theme of Rise, quite literally focusing on vertical environments and enhanced locomotion in a Japan-like region. The Palamute (dog) mechanic kind of rules too, as evidenced by this new Twitter video. Yes, you can pet it....

Capcom needs to bring back Marvel vs. Capcom by remembering what made it great in the first place

Capcom presents… The silver age of the fighting game genre is seemingly over. There are tons of great titles to play, both old and new, but many discussions I’ve come across are constantly debating problems like netcode, season passes, and the balance of individual rosters. To me, this renaissance of fighting games that started withStreet Fighter IVended at the conclusion ofUltimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3‘s reign.Now more then ever, with Capcom’s fighting game division floundering with an overall lukewarm reception ofStreet Fighter V, the failure ofMarvel vs....

First CarousHELL trailer is everything that’s right with movies

Most anticipated film of 2019 How can a sentient carousel unicorn kill a group of unsuspecting youths? Oh, let me count the ways: by cleaver, by horn, by hoof, by car, by axe, by arrow, by pizza cutter, and by laser vision of course.

FLCL’s sequel brings out The Pillows goodness on June 2

Insert guitar riffs and Vespas Whenever a title finishes its run, there’s a good chance that its story is complete. AsFLCL‘s newseasonshit us with a cool trailer, I’m still siding with those who think that the sequels aren’t necessary. Aside from the original show having a satisfying conclusion, the other reason behind my stance is that the first series was the result of Gainax wanting to make something happy after being sad from working onEnd of Evangelion, which likely played a role in the OVA’s hyperactive over-the-top nature....

Goonies meets Stephen King’s It in this new Oxenfree trailer

They all float down here, Georgie Apparently whenex-Telltale and ex-Disney employees get together, they make things that are both horrifying and beautiful, such as their upcoming gameOxenfree. According to the latest trailer, you’ll play as a teenage girl spending the night with her friends on an island where radio stations that don’t really exist can be heard.
