Yah. Boon put up a poll asking which female character the fans would like the most in MK11 and your main in MK9 was #1 and Scarlet was #2 out of the four choices. Listening to the fans

Below is the achievement/trophy list leaked on Steam which has a pretty educated guess of whom all the characters are. Courtesy of youtuber Dynasty(in the know relating to MK stuff). Basically the last three letters of the beginning of each characters name
attachicon.gif
1549605776168.jpg
One of the "new" characters the community is guessing will be on the base roster is
The Terminator. The TER leading to that conclusion/guess
Kinda hard to believe that to be true considering a guest character would be on the main roster vs being dlc. Going off of MK9, MK10, Injustice and even Injustice 2. We shall see in the next few months though
Honestly I could believe Terminator as a base roster guest. First, Terminator is all about time travel so that could fit in pretty easily if they did decide to put it in the story, but even if they don't it's not exactly a requirement to be in just because you're on the roster. My other thought is that while Terminator is one of the big movie requests, I don't know that it would push as much DLC as some other guests. The series has fallen on hard times and unless the upcoming movie is good for once there isn't this huge buzz around the series, and the game will be out for a while before that movie, which is scheduled for the end of the year.

Spawn seems like the obvious first DLC guest. He was the number one request for Injustice and when that didn't happen it shifted to MK. Spawn also has an upcoming movie that I would guess is a bit closer since it started production a year ago, and McFarland himself seemed to think an MK appearance was already in the works.

 
The "agent in need of backup" was annoying and when it happened for a second time less than a minute after the first one I figured I may as well try it out. The person was just getting to the second settlement but then just stood in it while I started doing the mission until I got a server disconnect.
It'll keep pinging you, unfortunately, to let you know your friends (and maybe randoms? idk, I never accepted one) is starting or in the middle of a mission that you can join. To disable it, pull up the map, hit RB twice, and you'll see the option on the bottom left -- hold X to disable that feature and it'll stop the notifications. In the beta, you might have to do it every time you start up the beta.

I'll take Pinhead from Hellraiser over Spawn but that's just me ;-)

I’m loving Apex Legends and I recommend everyone play it before EA absolutely destroys it.
 
Jodou posted a separate thread, but thought it worth mentioning here that the Crash/Spyro Bundle is back at Newegg for $29.99. I missed it last time it was posted here. Must use code EMCTVTD52. Free shipping through Premier or Shoprunner.

Looks like I'll be getting BFBC2 and BF3 this time around. Almost bit on FM7 Deluxe until I realized it's usually on sale for $35 fairly often. I'll be sure to grab it next time.

I know NetherRealm Studios has the rights to put Spawn in as a playable character, but the current contract expires end of the year. If he doesn't make it into MK11, he ain't ever coming.

Interesting reasoning regarding the Terminator. Never considered those points. It'd be awesome imo, if we had Arnold as the Terminator and Robert Patrick as an alternate skin. I still have my fingers crossed for Pennywise showing up on the roster at some point. IT: Chapter Two comes to theaters later this year so there's hope. Pinhead from Hellraiser would be a good fit in the MK universe as a guest appearance too!!
 
Is the deal for Halo: The Master Chief Collection for $22.50 a good deal to jump on? I haven't played any of them yet however I have a good size backlog so it's going to be a while before I get to it.

I believe its free to play this weekend, but its a huge download. Also, if you have game pass I believe its on there as well.

The price seems to be on par with some used prices, so looking at it in terms of being new I would say yes. If you have never played any of the halos before the campaigns are tons of fun and will provide a bunch of value

I guess tonight we either can create level 30 characters or ours gets bumped to 30? But I’ll be looking forward to that for sure.
Did they make an announcement about this? When I played it didn't say anything about end game stuff, just that it had the first few missions and hou could play until level 7.

If anyone happens upon a Division beta code they don’t need I would gladly take it off your hands.
I'm not 100% sure how to add you but I can send ubisoft friends an invite. You've been doing great with predictions so if you PM me your ubisoft username I'll add you and send an invite.
 
Hopefully you guys like Apex, EAs stock is up $13 today, the upper management are going to see this as a big success, it dropped from 92ish the day Apex launches but is up to 97 today as player growth on apex increases. It’s still way down from a year ago, but this is making it come up.

Endgame content is also planned for The Division beta started from 4pm on Friday, February 8. This will include an Invaded mission, a level cap of 30 and the ability to unlock the Survivalist, Sharpshooter or Demolitionist specialisations.
The invaded mission is where you will get the Patriot skin from the beta, carries over to the full game.

WRC 6 is downright unforgiving.

I usually drive in cockpit view and the second race is in the dark with a massive amount of fog with mud all over the windshield.

The race immediately afterwards had concrete barriers that made the width of the track basically 1.5 cars wide with little to no margin of error.

I absolutely adore Forza, Dirt and racing games in general, but the difficulty of this game is brutal.

This, I can’t enjoy them anymore.. one thumb twitch away from complete failure.
 
Cassie was seen with a fight intro on the European event stream. She isn't officially announced but she seems to be in. You could see a bit more of her including her dog-tags hanging off the harness, which did say Cage on them.

Yikes. If that's her, they ruined her face. I loved her look in MKX. What happened?

There was a leak yesterday and today in which the Steam achievements detail performing fatalities with specific characters. Looks like five returning characters and three new ones possibly. In the spoiler below in case some peeps are waiting to be surprised and see the official trailers or something
Returning -

Jade
Frost
Erron Black
Kotal Kahn
Jacqui Briggs

Personally, I'm meh about Kotal and Jacqui. Erron, Jade and Frost woot. Also, Cassie performing fatalities was in one of the descriptions so seems pretty sure fire she's a lock as playable
The first two are cool, the second two are meh, and the last is an okay. There are a lot of characters in MK that I don't really care about.

 
I know NetherRealm Studios has the rights to put Spawn in as a playable character, but the current contract expires end of the year. If he doesn't make it into MK11, he ain't ever coming.

Interesting reasoning regarding the Terminator. Never considered those points. It'd be awesome imo, if we had Arnold as the Terminator and Robert Patrick as an alternate skin. I still have my fingers crossed for Pennywise showing up on the roster at some point. IT: Chapter Two comes to theaters later this year so there's hope. Pinhead from Hellraiser would be a good fit in the MK universe as a guest appearance too!!
I'm curious if Schwarzenegger would still be good with having his appearance in games. The last one coming to mind for me is the abyssmal Terminator 3 game for OG Xbox, which probably was contractual as it has movie clips in it to. I don't think he's against them or anything, but they did put Carl Weather's face in to MKX with the Predator stuff which is a bit odd, maybe Arnie is too expensive. I'm kind of expecting an actual T-800 endoskeleton. I think it would just fit better with the other monster guests they've already had, and would sidestep the likeness issue entirely. If they do get Arnie, the next question is what version? The original kill bot from T1, the iconic but good guy T2 look, the grey-haired old one from the upcoming movie? One last thought is I would love if they did something like the Predator tie in, and gave us a T2 Sarah skin for Sonya Blade.

I kind of think Pinhead is probably too obscure at this point. Those movies have been gone for a while and I don't think he quite reached the level of the other characters they've already used. Pennywise is hard to say, but he would be a hot choice out of the recent stuff. I could see licensing issues with the Stephen King, I don't recall any games connected to his properties other than Lawnmower Man way back on the SNES(?).

I'd love to see Ash Williams in these games, but with his show over I'm not sure if they'd use him. He did say there would be some Evil Dead related game stuff coming though.

Yikes. If that's her, they ruined her face. I loved her look in MKX. What happened?
I think she looks fine in motion, maybe they aged her up. Regardless it seems like most of the faces are going to change some since they're using real face models now. Skarlet looks great at least. NetherRealm clearly learned how to make slightly more grounded humans that look good effectively starting with MKX and really hit their stride with Injustice 2.

This is just going to be the reality for a little while, it seems most of the games with more realistic looking characters are switching to real people being scanned to use as character models. Capcom did the same with Resident Evil 7 and 2, and Devil May Cry 5. It's fine with new characters like Nero's mechanic, but jarring with old characters dramatically changing, like Chris or Claire Redfield, Trish, or Sonya.

 
Well, looks like I'm indeed getting a free copy of Assassin's Creed Odyssey on PC. Can't wait to get it and nod that I got it and continue waiting for a deal on it for my XBox.

I've clicked Twitch Prime stuff for months I know I'm never going to touch

 
Layoffs coming to Activision-Blizzard for "restructuring aimed at centralizing functions and boosting profit". No specifics really, just "hundreds" out of apparently 9,800 total between all parts of the company. Hard to guess what will get cut, but it doesn't exactly sound like any one studio is getting chopped. I could see some of the ancillary studios being killed I guess, like those that were helping Bungie with Destiny.

Looks like the final (and permanent) batch of Forzathon challenges for Horizon 3 are live.  Makes me sad as somebody who only recently got into the Horizon series.

Since the article referenced how it was a bad week for their stock, look how fast you can bounce back though if you're EA and had an Apex up you're sleeve

I still like 3 better than 4. It's not just location, I think Aussie is a better Location than England, I don't know something about 4 hasn't felt quite right for me since launch. Also 4's radio sucks. Was super weird to get that last title update for 3 with those 4 achievements last week.

I can kinda High Moon Studios getting shut down as they were helping with the Destiny games and no longer have the Transformers games to fall back on(as Activision lost the license).

Speaking of Activision's bad week, they are also apparently giving refunds if you bought Guitar Hero Live from December 1, 2017 to January 2019.

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/activision-issues-voluntary-refund-for-guitar-hero/1100-6464914/

Although some are saying the refunds are to avoid potential lawsuits, as the developer that worked on it was bought up by Ubisoft in December 2017. So Activision had no one to support it anymore and the servers were shut down in December 2018. Wonder why Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 doesn't get the same treatment? As it still goes on sale from time to time, even though the servers were shut down.

This is probably "Pie in the Sky," but if any of the studios that helped Bungie with the D2 expansions get cut it would be great if Bungie could snap them up.

Seems really unlikely. They are still without a publisher, have a giant team already, and nothing to really drive sales unless Eververse is really driving sales or people magically start buying the annual pass. I know I'm likely waiting for the next game to give them a chance with money again unless something drastic happens.

 
Erratic reminder for Twitch Prime freebies:

Some decent things in there!

I am 1000% with you on all these points. I played FH3 for 3 hours tonight - I had forgotten how crazy the Hot Wheels DLC is! I am using those 4 last achievements as incentive to mop up some DLC and achievement items.

 
I still question budget, but at least that means he must be fine with games. The wrestling games are kind of deceptive since I assume all the wrestlers rights are already accounted for with their contracts, leaving room to get a few celebrity guests. Reminds me of that UFC game that had Bruce Lee.
It might be different with a game like MK, where your likeness would be performing fatalities, and having fatalities performed on them. In a vacuum, yeah, Terminator would be a great MK addition...but with the social baggage it carries (I can envision the hand wringing "Arnold Schwarzenegger murder simulator!" news coverage now) they might put T-1000 in instead. It allows them to say "Yes, we put in a Terminator" while keeping Arnold's image out of it.

One of my hopes/guesses for a crossover character would be Shadow of Mordor's Talion. It's another WB property, and it's a character that's used to dismembering opponents. I'm just not sure if there would be LotR crossover-licensing issues.

 
Saturday morning semi-OT:  I wouldn't mind getting back into PC gaming some, but don't want to spend almost $1,000. Someone is selling an Alienware Aurora 7, less than a year old, $450 with the following specs:

Intel i5-8400k CPU
Nvidia 1050 Ti GPU
8GB DDR4 RAM
1TB HD
 
Post is detailed, sounds like they know what they're doing (I avoid ads where they don't list specs etc). Seems like a fine mid-range system and the mobo is supposed to be very upgrade-friendly (and should support 8th-gen processors if I wanted to upgrade).
 
Seems like a decent deal? I haven't built a PC or bought computer parts in at least 7 years so I'm a little out of the market, but used to build/tweak PCs a lot in past lives.

Don't know if you posted this in the Humble Bundle or Steam threads, but you'll definitely get some informative answers there.

Pennywise is almost a guarantee. The second It movie's coming out in September and since it will be distributed by WB, you can take it to the bank he'll be in MK11. In regards to The Terminator, I don't know, not feeling it. Imagine if Fujin's left out for the third consecutive time in favor of a guest character.

Guest characters IMO, should be DLC but also NRS shouldn't go overboard like last time.

That should get you solid 1080p gaming. Might have to tweak some settings down from high to medium. The only upgrade I would absolutely recommend would be to put an SSD in there. Even a 2.5 sata drive. Especially if you can put an m.2 nvme drive in. Install Windows on that. I'd also think about getting 16gb of ram in there.

 
Man I really like Apex Legends but over half my games now feel like I am underwater... I have good internet speeds and ping yet I am getting SEVERE lag and rubber banding. It literally feels like I am jumping and running around under water. It seems to flow with the kill counter in the top right too like when people are dying a lot it bogs my game down hard. They need to fix this ASAP.

 
I agree with Jimbob. Get an SSD in there and you’ve got a great “plays almost everything currently available, just not at max settings” machine.

For $450 that’s a good price. The graphics card alone is about $200.
