GUTS, the “ultra-violent” fighting game, is coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One

For any fighting game fans who think that Mortal Kombat is a bit too tame, here some interesting news for you. GUTS, the self proclaimed, “ultra-violent Tarantino-styled fighting game”, is coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Released on PC via Steam back in November of 2017, GUTS lives up to its billing with generous amounts of blood and dismemberment shown on screen. Yes, dismemberment — one of the unique twists of the game is that characters can lose their limbs mid-combat and still continue to fight, even if all some of their limbs have been turned into bloody stumps. This dismemberment mechanic ties into how matches are actually won in GUTS. There’s no traditional health bar, and no timer. Instead, players need to cut off all four limbs off their opponents.

GUTS is set to arrive on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One sometime this Fall.

Dragon Ball FighterZ Australian Online Dragon Radar Event results

This past weekend, the third Online Dragon Radar Event for the 2018/2019 Dragon Ball FighterZ World Tour took place, this time for Australia. 22 of the finest in the Land Down Under assembled to compete for the chance to be flown out to the Saga Event of their choosing — to battle for one of the five remaining Dragon Balls, and the opportunity to represent their country and the region of Oceania at the World Tour Finals in January. A brief stream of top 8 was held, with commentary by Prok! and Big Jaddy, but the connection didn’t hold up to capture all the action in full, unfortunately.
