Gremlin ENT announce legendary composer Shinji Hosoe will create “Gravity Breakers” theme

Last time we checked in with in-development sci-fi shmup fighter Gravity Breakers, developers Gremlin ENT were implementing a new grappler to the demo available through itch.io. That’s exciting in itself, but the experimental indie fighter’s announcement today pushes its content to the next level: legendary composer MEGATEN, a.k.a. Shinji Hosoe, will be working to create the theme for the core game.

If you’re not familiar with Shinji’s name, don’t worry: you absolutely are familiar with his work. His work has appeared in an absurd amount of titles, including Tekken 6, Ridge Racer, Fighting EX Layer, Street Fighter EX, and more.

Gremlin ENT also announced the development of the latest version of their in-progress game, version 0.3.5. For more information on the game itself, make sure to visit gravitybreakers.com.

Marvel vs. Capcom served as the inspiration for Wolverine’s newest power in the comic books

While the Marvel vs. Capcom games are (partly) inspired by Marvel’s comics, the series’ long life means that it has also inspired comic creators themselves. The latest of these is Charles Soule, who in giving new powers to the resurrected Wolverine, has stated that he was inspired by Capcom’s storied fighting game series.

For those who aren’t familiar with the current comic book storylines, here’s a quick summary: Wolverine, that is the original one, James “Logan” Howlett, is being resurrected after he died back in 2014. As part of this, he’s getting a new power — the ability to heat up his claws to extreme temperatures.

As part of a video message played at the San Diego Comic Convention, writer Charles Soule stated that the Marvel vs. Capcom games were the inspiration for Logan’s new powers. Now, longtime fans of the series will likely find this odd — Wolverine never had heated-claw powers in the games themselves. Is Soule trying to explain how Wolverine can leave giant X-shaped slashes in mid air (with fire, this time)? We’ll find out when the Return of Wolverine mini-series debuts in September.

Meanwhile, for more coverage related to Marvel vs. Capcom, and other fighting games, stay locked on to Shoryuken.

Just when you think you couldn’t possibly be drawn to another survival after the many that have graced our gaming grid, just one trailer was all it took and I needed to get into Outpost Zero made by the folks over at Symmetric Games who have teamed up with tiny Build as they launch on Steam Early Access.
