A new, rather grainy video has surfaced that purportedly shows footage from a Harry Potter action-RPG in the works. YouTube poster “RastaPasta” has also included a lengthy description of the rumored game providing details including that it is an open-world, third person game that is set at Hogwarts in the 19th Century.
Bandai Namco gave PlayStation 4 and Xbox One users a great opportunity this past weekend: a free, downloadable client of SoulCalibur VI for Network Mode testing. Though there was no opportunity to practice in Training Mode, for many players around the world it was the first opportunity to get their hands on the game. Furthermore, certain characters like Talim and Voldo made it later to the roster, so there haven’t been as many impressions on them. The video footage below focuses on those two as well as Tira, who debuted with the limited beta.
Aris on his Avoiding the Puddle channel has been streaming the game nearly non-stop. Check him out using Voldo below (7:30 was especially funny):
These clips also show him using Talim a lot:
Speaking of Talim, she hasn’t been available much at events, so even those who attended certain tournaments didn’t have a chance to try the Wind Priestess. Well, don’t underestimate her, as she can pack quite a punch right now. Kayane shows off what she has picked up so far in this segment.
For some shorter impressions, check out Uri’s clips of using Tira, who is a DLC-only character, but she was available in the Network Test.

If it’s about SoulCalibur, you have to hear from Maximilian Dood. If you’d like to listen a little to find out how good the online play has been rather than just watch more footage, hear his thoughts below.

Google has published a new blog that announces Project Stream that will allow players to stream games through Chrome. “The idea of streaming such graphically-rich content that requires near-instant interaction between the game controller and the graphics on the screen poses a number of challenges. When streaming TV or movies, consumers are comfortable with a few seconds of buffering at the start, but streaming high-quality games requires latency measured in milliseconds with no degradation”.
Last week, ARIKA released a video announcing that they were working on a PC port of Fighting EX Layer. The video itself didn’t reveal much, just showing the game running in a window on a PC. Now, ARIKA has opened up about the development of this version, and the arcade version, via Facebook.
ARIKA starts their Facebook post by thanking people for the support that allowed them to release two additional characters for the game. They follow up on this, however, by stating that their resources are still limited. The reason they’re able to work on both an arcade and Steam version is due to the fact that both will be running on Windows.
Originally, this meant that they wouldn’t be updating the PlayStation 4 version during this time, again due to their limited resources. The Steam and arcade versions, which would be 1.1.1, were to have no differences in gameplay with the current 1.1.0 version in the PS4. However, ARIKA head Akira Nishitani decided that he wanted to further change some of the Gougi decks. As such, to make sure that the PlayStation 4 version remains up to date with the other versions, they have decided that they will be updating the it to version 1.1.1 as well.
Additionally, they state that any future updates and content that will be coming to the game are still dependent on the sales of the upcoming versions. Finally, in regards to cross-platform play, they conceded that they do not have the funding to deploy all the back end server hardware that would be required for such a thing to happen.

One of Japan’s finest arcades, Mikado, will be opening a new location in the Ikebukuro district tomorrow! This isn’t a relocation — Mikado Arcade, in 2018, is doing well enough to expand.

If Ikebukuro sounds familiar to you (even if you have never been to Japan!), it’s likely because this entertainment district is already the home a few other FGC hotspots.
We have covered a gigantic amount of Mikado Arcade tournaments here at SRK. We’ve chosen to do this not only because of their game selection, but because the quality of play at their events is consistently exceptional. We’re happy to see them succeed and wish them luck at their new location — and, hopefully, many more Mikado run events will come of this.
If you are unfamiliar with Mikado, check out their official YouTube channel for the widest range of arcade FGC titles you can find on this planet.
