Everyone has a fighting chance
Grand Theft Auto Online has been updated to bring Sumo (Remix) Adversary Mode to players. The challenge is for players to head to a safe zone before time runs out…with a twist: The safe zone is literally a moving target that will move whenever the timer runs out. The action takes place on any one of seven newly retooled Sumo (Remix) arenas and the net result to a player’s wallet is Double GTA$ and RP through October 15th.
As the date for the release of The Division 2 nears, the developers at Ubisoft are taking some time to introduce players to new and / or improved systems coming with the game. In the latest blog post on the official site, readers get a look at the retooled weapons system including a peek at the arsenal players will have at their disposal.

Finnish YouTube channel Checkpoint TV showed off Inferno gameplay in SoulCalibur VI. Why we already knew the Big Bad Skull Head would be back, we weren’t sure of his playability — and since leaks claimed he was a mimic, we apparently didn’t know what his style was like, either.
Unfortunately, this video — and its description — just adds more mystery. The YouTube channel in question claims this is “two-player versus mode”, but if you find that tough to believe, it’s understandable: there’s no evidence of the character select screen, it’s unclear why this Finnish channel would be given access to this character when no one else was, and, if I may be so bold: have you ever seen anyone playing SoulCalibur do nothing for long periods of time the way this “player” does in Round 2? The only possible giveaway that this is actually versus mode is the “Total Wins” screen at the beginning of the video, which just begs the question of what means Checkpoint TV used to get to this in the first place.
In the above video he’s only shown using a modified version of Nightmare’s movelist,with his own original teleport, command grabs, and other unique options we haven’t seen from Nightmare yet. If he can mimic other characters like the previous leaks mentioned, this video did not illustrate it. Even if this ends up not being in a two-player mode (and with the damage on that command grab, that may be for the best!), this form of Inferno’s movelist calls back to his boss form from the original SoulCalibur, and is probably the best he has visually looked in any game to date.

In his latest opinion piece at GameSpace.com, Poorna Shankar tears into the PR-speak over the last couple of weeks since the announcement by Sony that it would be “allowing” cross play between PlayStation 4 and the other available platforms for Fortnite. While it is a magnificent thing for players and we all should be thrilled with it, it’s equally important to see the bigger picture.
The past decade has had a rocky juxtaposition between fighting games and the internet. Sometimes netplay can be handled beautifully — such as the fast matchmaking and customizable latency of the Skullgirls series — and other times it doesn’t quite work out. Though, despite connection quality being a “make it or break it” for online play, sometimes an interconnected game mode just needs a good streak of design. Capcom recently took a shot at this angle, implementing an all new “Dojo” mode in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition; below is VesperArcade‘s own review of the system, checking over Capcom’s attempt at macro-netplay.
