Month: May 2018

Monster Hunter World‘s Kulve Taroth Siege may be coming to an end, but a new crossover quest is just about to begin on PS4 and Xbox One. The second round of the Street Fighter event kicks off tonight, May 3, giving players a chance to get a set of Sakura armor.

The gear can be acquired through a three-part Challenge Quest called Empress in Full Bloom. The quest will appear in the rotation beginning at 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET (1 AM BST on May 4) and runs until the same time on May 10. The quests require a Hunter Rank of 12 or higher and challenge players with slaying a Pink Rathian.

Completing the quests will give players materials to craft the aforementioned Sakura armor; when worn, your hunter will take on the same appearance as the Street Fighter character, regardless of gender. You can see some screenshots of the armor above.

This is the second set of Street Fighter gear that players could get in Monster Hunter World. The first was based on Ryu and could be acquired by completing an Event Quest called Down the Dark, Muddy Path. While that quest is now over, Capcom has said that it will return to the rotation again in the future.

The Sakura armor isn’t the only crossover gear available in Monster Hunter World right now. In addition to that, players can still take part in an Event Quest to get a set of Devil May Cry gear. That consists of a Dante costume and his signature Devil Sword. We’ve outlined how to get the Devil May Cry gear.

There’s no doubt about it, Avengers: Infinity War is the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s most massive entry yet. It’s packed with characters, plot developments, game-changing moments, and a massive cliffhanger that leaves a year for fans to cope with everything they’ve witnessed. This is where we warn you to stop reading if you’ve yet to see the movie, as we are going to dig into some heavy spoiler territory.

That’s not all Infinity War is packing, though. In addition to the death, destruction, and insanity that unfolds throughout the nearly three-hour movie, there are also some major changes made to MCU canon. Things established in previous movies throughout Marvel’s 10-year streak of superhero adventures are altered to better fit the story of Infinity War.

There’s little doubt that these changes will impact the MCU for years to come, given the movies Marvel already has on the way. However, there are still two movies to come before Avengers 4 takes over theaters. Both Ant-Man and The Wasp will likely carry heavy implications for the next Avengers movie, given how the characters from both films are likely to play a major role.

While Ant-Man himself didn’t factor into Infinity War at all, thanks to the deal he cut with the government, Captain America, Thor, and the rest of the surviving Avengers are going to need all of the help they can get their hands on in Avengers 4. That’s also, most likely, where Captain Marvel will come into play. In the movie’s post-credits scene, Nick Fury sends out a distress message to the female superhero that’s getting her own standalone film in 2019–just in time to introduce fans to her before she swoops in to help save the day in Avengers 4.

Come along with GameSpot as we take a look at what, exactly, has been changed in Marvel’s latest outing. Additionally, you can see our look at every character that died in Infinity War, as well as those that didn’t end up in the movie at all.

Avengers: Infinity War boasts an enormous cast–it’s bursting at the seams with characters both new and old. It features existing members of the Avengers teaming up with the Guardians of the Galaxy and the people of Wakanda. With a villain as powerful as Thanos to deal with, it makes sense that such a powerful group of individuals would be needed to stop him. But what about all of the characters who still didn’t managed to make the cut for the big new movie? This is where you should stop reading if you haven’t seen the movie, as we’re about to dive pretty deep into spoiler territory–consider yourself warned.

It could easily be argued that Infinity War included too many characters for its nearly three-hour running time. However, there were some faces fans had their hope on that were nowhere to be found. Instead, the Marvel Cinematic Universe faithful are forced to wait a year to see whether or not Thanos turned them to dust of if they’ll be able to join the fight in Avengers 4.

After watching Avenger: Infinity War too many times to count, GameSpot has come up with the definitive list of characters we were sad to see didn’t take part in the battle against the big, purple jerk. Some of them seem like smart and powerful additions to the crew; others are named Korg and we love him too much to leave him out.

Separately, there have been enough questions about one Guardians of the Galaxy side character–Kraglin–to warrant an official answer from James Gunn. Spoilers: No, he’s not in the movie, but that doesn’t mean he died during the four-year gap between Guardians 2 and Infinity War.

We don’t yet know most of the faces we’ll see in 2019’s Avengers 4–whatever it ends up being called–but the cast may have some room for expansion after Infinity War killed off so many characters when Thanos snapped his fingers. Avengers 4 arrives in theaters on May 3, 2019.

After ten years and 18 movies, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has become pretty self sufficient. While Avengers: Infinity War was obviously drawing its major plot points and some fun scenes straight from its comic book source material, the majority of the movie was actually layered with callbacks and references to other MCU movies–and some of them may not have been all that obvious.

So if you didn’t happen to brush up on your MCU history, or if you decided not to do the 31-hour long marathon prior to your Infinity War viewing, don’t worry too hard. We’re looking out for you. Here is a breakdown of Infinity War’s biggest Easter eggs, references, and callbacks to previous MCU movies and beyond.

Deadpool is known for two things: killing people and saying whatever is on his mind–literally anything. After all, they don’t call him the merc with a mouth for nothing. Still, it sounds like a line has been drawn in the sand as to what constitutes going too far for Deadpool, at least on the big screen.

As Deadpool 2 gets ready to steamroll into theaters with a string of four-letter words and the streets painted in the blood of the vigilante’s enemies, it turns out not every joke made the movie’s final cut. Ryan Reynolds, who once again stars as the titular hero, has revealed one particular topic that is no laughing matter.

“This is a sore spot for me because there’s a joke in the movie that is not in the movie now because–I’m probably not even allowed to say this–Fox made me take it out,” he tells Entertainment Weekly. “It had more to do with Disney, and they made me take it out. As I look back at it, I think maybe that was a wise decision.”

Given that Disney is currently acquiring 20th Century Fox, the studio that makes the X-Men movie franchise that includes Deadpool 2, this isn’t exactly surprising. After all, the trailers for the new Deadpool film already include light digs at the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so whatever ended up on the cutting room floor was probably pretty extreme. There are just lines you don’t cross when it comes to Mickey Mouse and his insanely large kingdom.

As for what the merger of the two companies would mean for the Deadpool franchise–and other R-rated Marvel Comics movies–Disney CEO Bob Iger previously said there was room in the company for that type of fare. While Reynolds will be the first to admit he doesn’t “know a thing about it,” he has hope for the future of his character and its tone.

“This is completely conjecture on my part, but I wouldn’t imagine that Disney bought Fox to dismantle it or something like that,” he says. “I think that Disney bought Fox so it could have that in its arsenal.”

Deadpool 2 is in theaters on May 18.
