Darkfall: Ub3rgames Aiming to Bring Back Old School Fun

This past week Ub3rgames has been successful in finalizing a contract for the rights to DarkFall. This hardcore MMO has been a fan favorite on the site for years. So, we thought to chat with Marc Thompson from Ub3rgames about some of the upcoming changes and features we will see. DarkFall New Dawn is set to re-launch the game and bring back some of the old school fun of the original. There are a lot of updates the team is working on as well. Let’s hear what Marc had to say.

Kotobukiya Reveals New Poison Statue, Now Available for Preorder

Kotobukiya has been busy with their Bishoujo line, designed by illustrator, Shunya Yamashita, of figures for some time. The latest character to join this figure line is none other than Final Fight alum Poison.

This 1:7 scale figure features swappable accessories, allowing fans to display Poison with either her trademark riding crop or a pair of handcuffs – something not seen in most other Bishoujo figures. It retails for $69.99, and preorders are currently open here.

In the meantime, you can check out some photos of the figure in the gallery below.

Kim1234, Logan Sama Discuss Street Fighter V’s Future

Back in November, YUBIKEN’s Kim1234, WinnerStaysOn’s Logan Sama, and Shady K kicked off The Jump-In, a podcast dedicated to all things fighting games. Since then, the crew has had several sessions, and even spoke with UltraDavid and James Chen in a recent episode.

In their latest installment, Kim and Logan discuss rivalries and trash talk in the fighting game community before moving on to a topic that has certainly been on everyone’s mind since long before we got our hands on a beta build: what kind of future can we expect from Street Fighter V?

Alex Meyers reportedly spoke to Mad Catz’ Tokido to get his opinion of Street Fighter V, and Tokido (allegedly) thinks top players in Japan will play the new title for a year, and then go back to Ultra Street Fighter IV. Since Kim can easily speak with the rest of the YUBIKEN, he was able to offer a bit of insight from the Japanese group, and it seems that they all have a fairly neutral opinion of the game so far–except Dashio. Dashio loves it.

Logan, who has gotten a fair amount of time with the game himself, went on to say Street Fighter V “feels quite limited in terms of expression,” something that will undoubtedly affect the way certain players–especially the tech-minded–interact with the game.

The duo also spend some time talking about the ways in which Street Fighter V’s launch will differ from Street Fighter IV’s, so check out the video below for all the juicy discussion.
