Unless you are like me and have been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard that Epic Game’s released a free to play Battle Royal game using Fortnite as a base. It’s ruffled some feathers, to say the least, and leave those of us looking to dive into the genre scratching our heads on which game to start with. Do you get PUBG at it’s $30 price tag or grab Fortnite’s free to play Battle Royale mode?

Capcom to make Street Fighter V and Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite announcements at New York Comic Con this Friday
New York Comic Con is set kick off this coming weekend, and the event’s official website has just confirmed that Capcom will be in attendance to make some announcements about their two fighting games: Street Fighter V and the newly-released Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite.
With SFV recently receiving a September update with premium costumes and Cammy’s classic stage, as well as concept art being leaked for five of MvC:I’s upcoming DLC characters, this event seems like the perfect time to show off the final Season 2 DLC character for SFV –– widely believed to be Zeku — as well as what else could lie in store for Street Fighter V. In addition, we’re likely to see some reveal trailers — and perhaps some release dates — for some of Marvel’s DLC characters; NYCC saw the announcements for Street Fighter X Tekken and Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 in the past.
The official website notes that Capcom will be at the NYCC Live Stage, Booth 174 on Friday, October 6th, from 1:45-2:15 PM ET (10:45 AM PT), with the description of the event reading: “Capcom drops by the Twitch stage to show off the latest content from two of their popular fighting games.” Each game is scheduled for 15 minutes of air time with the Street Fighter V segment happening first. The announcements should be streamed on https://www.twitch.tv/twitch.

– A Tale as Old as Time – Offline Mode & Robust Chat Channels May Finally Come to BattleNet
According to new “strings” of code datamined out of the latest BattleNet desktop build, players may FINALLY be getting an offline mode — a feature that has been requested for years and often hinted at by the developers. In addition, a robust channel creation system ala Discord may also be part of the next build. It’s likely that many of the improvements to BattleNet are being made in preparation for the PC launch of Destiny 2 coming later this month.
Final Fantasy XIV – A Growing Subscription Base to Rival WoW’s Heyday & F2P ‘Could’ Happen
In a new interview at GamesIndustry.biz, Final Fantasy XIV director Naoki Yoshida has revealed some interesting tidbits about the game’s player base and its overall health. While no firm current subscription numbers are stated, Yoshida does say that “our active subscribers is the largest it’s ever been”.
