Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite - PSX 2016: Reveal Trailer | PS4

It’s been a long time since fans have seen Iron Man take on the Blue Bomber, but that wait will finally be coming to an end.

At the PlayStation experience in Anaheim, California, Capcom unveiled the new trailer for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, the latest entry in the long-running fighting game series. Capcom also announced that Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is being re-released on current-gen systems as a digital download.

As the trailer opens, Mega Man approaches in what looks like an infinity stone before being blasted away by a blue energy beam. Luckily, Ryu, from Street Fighter, iss there to pick him up. The camera then pans up to Iron Man as he begins his barrage against Capcom’s most iconic figures. Ryu powers up to punch Iron Man away. That’s when Ms. Marvel comes into frame and all four run toward each other. The trailer then goes to black and shows what appears to be Ultron.

Marvel vs. Capcom was originally released in arcades as a cross-over fighter. Unlike most fighting games, Marvel vs. Capcom had players picking two characters, and swapping them out during battle. It quickly gained popularity and was soon released on consoles.

Even though Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is five years old, it was still featured in this year’s Evolution Championship fighting game tournament in Las Vegas. There, top players from around the world convened to see who would be this year’s champion. This year it went to Christopher “NYChrisG” Gonzalez.

More information and new characters will be revealed on December 4 on ESPN2 at 5:30 p.m. PT during the Capcom Cup Street Fighter V tournament. Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is available today for $25 on PlayStation Network and will be out in March 2017 on Xbox Live.

A release date for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite has not been set.

New Atari 50 DLC shows the Intellivision acquisition is already paying off

An Atari 2600+ sits on a table.

Digital Eclipse's Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration is an excellent and comprehensive look back at the company's now classic video game lineup, with games to play and extra content to interact with. So far, it's gotten one DLC: The Wider World of Atari, that added even more titles. Now, it's about to get its second, thanks to an acquisition it made earlier this year.

Atari announced The First Console War on Friday, and it's about, as you can guess, the company's first console war with the Intellivision, although it'll touch on a specific element of it. In the 1980s, Mattel was publishing games on the Intellivision. At some point, it decided to release versions of these console exclusives for its main competitor, the Atari 2600, under the M Network label. There are 19 of these games coming to Atari 50 with The First Console War, which is set to launch on November 8 for PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4 Atari 50 owners.

Is Monster Hunter Wilds cross-platform?

Two hunters ride mounts in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Of all the genres that we think need to be on the list of cross-platform games, hunting games like Monster Hunter Wilds have to be near the top. These are a rather unique style of game compared to the likes of Fallout 76, Genshin Impact, or Stardew Valley. Each of those has cooperative or competitive elements to them that are enhanced by cross-platform support, but nothing like what Monster Hunter Wilds has going on. The game will allow you to call in NPCs to help you on the hunt, but these games are best when you get a group of real friends together and embark on an epic quest to slay a giant beast, scavenge it for parts, and return to camp victorious. Monster Hunter Rise eventually got cross-platform support once it was ported off the Switch, but will Monster Hunter Wilds launch with this feature? Here's what you need to know about cross-platform support in one of our most anticipated upcoming games.
Is Monster Hunter Wilds cross-platform?

Monster Hunter Wilds will only have partial cross-platform support. The good news is that the part that it will have is crossplay, meaning that you and friends on either PS5, Xbox Series X/S, or PC can all hunt together with no issues. This feature can be disabled if you wish, but will be enabled by default to make sure desperate hunters can always find some aid when in need.

Fortnite’s new season, Chapter 2 Remix, is getting a star-studded event that will run through November. The music-focused event will see the battle royale partnering with Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and more artists to remix the game’s map each week.

The new announcement is the next phase of Epic’s goal to turn Fortnite into the “ultimate hub for social entertainment experiences,” as a representative from Epic explained during a press event. The game has had several musical collaborations previously, including the Guitar Hero-like Fortnite Festival mode that launched last year. This update brings that idea to the next level by partnering with four musical superstars.
