Check out some more Dead or Alive 6 details and screenshots from E3 2018

The Dead or Alive series is back with Dead or Alive 6 on the show floor of E3 2018. The new game brings with it some significant changes, including the addition of a traditional meter system meant to power new mechanics.

For those curious about some of the changes to the game, players have begun to try to analyze the bits of footage that we’ve gotten from the show. One of these is Rojikku, who’s uploaded a couple of videos where he breaks down bits and pieces of the game.

The first one breaks down some off screen match footage from YouTube channel VGP. The footage features a couple of matches featuring Jann Lee, including a mirror match. Here, Rojikku makes some observations about some of the new moves, the new crowd-based danger zone, as well as some new strings that Jann Lee may have.

In addition to this, he also breaks down some of the footage from the PlayStation live stream, going over what we saw of the game’s menus and interfaces.

In addition to these, Tyaren over at Free Step Dodge has also captured some screenshots from the live stream, specifically of the character and stage select screens. Of note is how the former now frames the character portraits in the style of old boxing posters.

Dead or Alive 6 is set to arrive on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in 2019.

Cyberpunk 2077 – E3 Demo Impressions

Despite huge announcements from every studio this year at E3, all of the news was focused around West Hall Room 512. CD Projekt Red’s next in-depth RPG takes to the streets in a dark future. Cyberpunk 2077 was shown in a fifty-minute demo which kept everyone in awe by its scope, adaptability, and amazing visuals which bring a new level to the first person and RPG genre. We jokingly referred to it as Grand Theft Blade Runner, but it is much more than that.

More DLC characters and updates are still coming to Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, according to the producer

Late last month, Bandai Namco Entertainment America hosted a special livestream, to show off the second pair of DLC characters coming to Dragon Ball FighterZ, Fused Zamasu and Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Vegito. However, there was also a special announcement made by Producer Masayuki Hirano, about the future of Bamco’s other Dragon Ball title: Xenoverse 2.

Acknowledging the team’s original promise to support the game for a year with post-launch content and updates has since passed, Hirano noted that they have continued developing the game, complete with releasing additional DLC characters like Dabura, Super Buu (Gohan Absorbed), Jiren The Gray, Ultra Instinct Goku and Fu.

Thanking fans for allowing them to support the game for a year and a half, Hirano promises even more content, DLC characters, and updates will be arriving to the game — in addition to a free update that will address the network connection issues many players have been experiencing while playing online. Skills, moves, and rules will also be adjusted to ensure a much more streamlined online experience across the board for all players.

Even with the release of a more traditional 2D game like FighterZ, (which just had a Nintendo Switch port announced at E3,) Bandai Namco aims to continue supporting both games so that everyone can continue to enjoy the Dragon Ball series of games for a long time to come. You can view Hirano’s full message below.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is currently available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
