The party don’t start ’til I walk in Do we know the roster ofStreet Fighter 6? It is increasingly looking like we do. While some characters, namely Ryu, Chun-Li, Jamie, Luke, Guile, and apparently “Kimberely” have all been essentially confirmed,the mighty leakthat rolled out last week appeared to fill in the remaining roster slots, giving us a grand total of 22 super-strong, (and super-stylish) World Warriors. While Capcom has not officially confirmed the contents of the leak, it did begrudgingly admit thatStreet Fighterfans had “seen more than they were supposed to”, with the following Guile trailer —complete with denim onesie— more or less rubber stamps the leak as genuine....

We’re now in a world where WoW Classic has ‘world firsts’ World of Warcraft Classic, a recreation of the “Vanilla WoW,” launched just last Tuesday and a group of 40 people has risen to the occasion, leveled to the cap, geared up, and defeated the last boss of Molten Core ( Ragnaros): the first majorClassicraid. Wow! For reference, Ragnaros was all over the marketing forClassic, serving as the first major hurdle of the re-release....

I feel that the SNES was the last major console that had a sound of its own. That’s not to say that later consoles don’t have great music. It’s just that the limitations of the 8 and 16-bit eras gave their platforms a unique voice. After the shift to CD, that was lost. The Nintendo S-SMP,created by Ken Kutaragi, was one of the most sophisticated console sound hardware at the time....

Come see my Dragon’s Crowning achievement: A dumb cooking show Food is good. Videogames are good. Food inspired by videogames are doubleplusgood. It’s simple science. Science and art. I would like to humbly present the first episode ofSteven Hansen’s À la cartridge, a straightforward cooking show where I teach you how to make tasty things and talk about the games that inspire them. In my quest to become the Alton Brown of videogames, will I become videogames’ Guy Fieri?...

Long thought to be a fool’s errand, theS.T.A.L.K.E.R.engine has finally been broken, rebuilt, and bent to the will of some insanely ambitious modders toadd co-operativeplay to one of the original titles: Call of Pripyat. This is a stunning achievement in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. modding, and may even open the door to co-operative play in sandbox-style mods likeAnomalyorG.A.M.M.A.down the line (this is pure speculation on my part, please don’t tell Grok I said that)....

Boo will miss you! A crazy mod team has spent seven years recreatingBaldur’s Gatein theNeverwinter Nights 2engine. Not parts of it — the whole thing. They didn’t just start, either; it’s done and it took seven years. Yup, it’s crazy. It’s also really awesome. Baldur’s Gate: Reloadedgoes way beyondBaldur’s Gate: Enhanced Editionand previous mod attempts to bring the classic role-playing game into the modern era. It recreates the entire game in 3D....

And cut content from Sonic DS collection Released back in 2010 for the Nintendo DS, theSonic Classic Collectionwas a let down. It only contained a select few games (and removed multiplayer options), whereas other collections likeSonic Mega Collectionhad many more titles. Now, it’s being revealedby way of The Sonic Stadiumthat there were grander plans for theClassic Collectionthat never came to fruition. For starters,Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine,Sonic Spinball, andSonic 3D Blastwere originally supposed to round out the collection, but were cut....

Return to a time when DC ruled the cinematic world The Dark Knightis the kind of movie that comes along generationally. Something so groundbreaking and different that everything else after it changes. It changed our expectations for superhero films, it redefined our expectations of classic characters, it put Christopher Nolan on the map as one of the greatest directors ever, it even changed the Oscars best picture category after getting snubbed (the year after the Academy opened it up to 10 possible nominees)....

I like the part where it’s all the things I like A new trailer forDarkwoodmade itself available today, showcasing some pre-alpha gameplay. It’s a top-down affair with elements of survival horror and roguelike gameplay, and is that torchlight doubling as a health status? Yes it is! The game’s currently trying toget approved on Steam Greenlight, and has somecrowdfunding stuff in the works. It looks like the studio has a great vision and knows what it’s doing with this, so I’m pretty excited to see more....

InDestiny 2‘sEpisode: Revenant, creating new Tonics and discovering recipes is a core part of the experience. However, it can seem like progress is stalled after players make their first few Tonics, as it doesn’t appear that any other recipes are known. The solution is more straightforward than it seems, and Guardians just need to continue creating Tonics. Bungie released all ofEpisode: Revenant‘s Act 1 content at launch,removing any and all timegates....

Interview with a smooshed baby Hi folks,Chris Moysehere. Hope your 2017 is revving up nicely. I have anotherCommunity Interviewfor you good people. The original draft was the longest yet! So, I took the interviewee’s advice (he suggested editing with an axe when he volunteered) and went all Patrick Bateman on the cut. What’s left is a yarn about video games, freelance writing and roleplaying whilst hammered. Enjoy and, as always, thanks for all your ongoing support....
