It's an extremely fascinating setting and, after thoroughly enjoying NiOh by Koei Tecmo , I'm very interested in seeing how a western studio with Sucker Punch's pedigree will tackle feudal Japan. It has the potential to feel very fresh, considering that we're talking about a rendition of three-hundred years older Japan. It's a period that is not often represented in media (and close to never in western media), in favor of the much more popular Sengoku Ji
The game is set on the island of Tsushima in the Korea Strait, right in the middle between the westernmost tip of Japan in Kyushu and the Korean peninsula. The backdrop is the first Mongol invasion of 1274, led by Genghis Khan's grandson Kublai Khan and culminated with the Battle of Bun'ei where the term "Kamikaze" was b
Even though SuperData's reports confirm more of the same kind of results video game fans have come to expect in 2016, there are still a number of interesting insights to be gleaned from what the firm has found. Bolstered by sales that were stronger than Destiny 's initial launch period, the release of Destiny: Rise of Iron in September rocketed Bungie's shooter to the top of the console charts over traditionally dominant fall releases like FIFA
There's no denying that eSports will continue to rapidly grow for the foreseeable future. Playerunknown's Battlegrounds ' eSports community is only just getting started, the huge, expensive Overwatch League doesn't start until next year, League of Legends is franchising its North American league next year, and it feels like a AAA game isn't launched these days without some consideration for eSpo
In a standard professional match of League of Legends, two teams of five players face off against one another using numerous spells and weapons throughout a transcendent countryside. This is where the eSports coach comes in. He will lean over shoulders during practices and tell his players when to use trinkets or commanding them to hit the closest enemies so when its game time and they find themselves in front of millions of fans packed into a arena his team is ready. During practices, coaches typically do what any other normal coach for a sporting team would do to prepare his team; they advise their players to get a good nights rest, avoid eating unhealthy food to remain sharp with their reaction skills, meeting players privately to give feedback on performances and lending a listening ear when needed.
As of now, Jefferson Pierce aka Black Lightning (Cress Williams) isn't expected to appear in the Arrowverse crossover. Black Lightning won't premiere until early 2018 , and the series will reportedly be kept separate from The CW's other DCTV shows - at least, for the time being. Still, this year's Arrowverse crossover is set to include all the major heroes from The CW's live-action DCTV series, as well as their animated offerings set in the superhero universe. Now, fan art for the Arrowverse recreates a Justice League poster using the DCTV her
Kublai finally decided that he had enough of Korean mediation, so he ordered a new envoy to go to Japan directly at the end of 1269. He reached the coast of Japan in 1272, but once more he was sent home empty-handed. One last mission led by the same Mongol ambassador reached Japanese territory in 1273, but access to Kyoto was once more denied. Every attempt by the Mongol Emperor to receive any kind of response from either side of the Japanese government had failed. It was time for
In a market as complex as the one that video games are developed, marketed, and sold in, the research data regarding their respective successes or failures is equally complicated. For most gamers, the reports from the NPD Group, one of please click the next post most respected analysts when it comes to sales figures, are often where they glean trends in video games - for instance, the June NPD report from this year suggested console sales are slowing down , while a report on last month indicated that NBA 2K17 was doing well in sal
These details come from eSports Earnings, which tracks tournament and league prize pools along with player earnings. While there's no guarantee that the numbers are wholly accurate or all-encompassing, they are without a doubt representative. Here's the list of games that have crossed the impressive $1,000,000 threshold in 2017 (so f
Of course, Timetravel6000v2's art isn't the first fan-made recreation of this particular Justice League poster. Shortly after it debuted during SDCC, a fan put an Avengers spin on the poster as a preview of Marvel Studios' upcoming blockbuster Avengers: Infinity War . It's not surprising that this Justice League poster has inspired so many recreations considering the original is itself an homage to classic DC Comics artwork created by artist Alex R
Another interesting detail is that the landing in Komodahama happened on October 5th, 1274, and the Battle of Bun'Ei ended on October 21st. I couldn't find clear data on when Japanese relief forces reached the island of Tsushima, but it's probably not much later. This means that the story of the game is likely to be rather short in terms of timespan, as the first Mongol Invasion had a long buildup, but was ultimately a brief engagement. It'll be definitely interesting to see if the story will somehow extend to the second invasion. Since forces on the island held back the Mongol tide a few years later in 1281, it's quite possible that Sucker Punch will decide to include it at the end of the game, or it could even be a good hook for a seq
