We’re in the third day of New York Comic-Con 2018 and the quality of cosplay continues to be exceptional. The show floor is packed with people representing some of the most beloved TV shows, anime, movies, comic, and video game franchises with eye-catching outfits.

On Day 3, we got to see a fair bit of Dragon Ball Super representation, with adults, teenagers, and even kids unleashing their inner Saiyans. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Comic-Con without a healthy Marvel cosplay presence, and in this gallery you’ll see both heroes (Spidey) and villains (Hobgoblin) making an appearance.

Back on the anime front, everyone’s favourite barely-trying superhero Saitama–better known as the One Punch Man–can be spotted delivering a nice clean right-hand straight to a jaw. And there’s some Naruto thrown in for good measure too. Beyond that, you’ll find awesome costumes for Metroid, Game of Thrones, Batman, Nightmare on Elm Street, and more. If you haven’t already seen them, make sure to check out our gallery of cosplay from NYCC 2018 Day 1 and Day 2, as there plenty of top notch costumes to see in those too.

Day 3 of NYCC 2018 has delivered some big news and previews too. Although it is yet to be released publicly, we got to check out the Hellboy trailer and wrote up our impressions, and if you’re a Star Trek: Discovery fan, make sure to check out the trailer for Season 2, as it’s teasing some exciting things for the upcoming series. The talk of the show, however, is Into the Spider-Verse, and watch us discuss what we learned about it here.

During New York Comic-Con, Fox gave fans an early look at the 2019 movie Dark Phoenix, the newest installment of the X-Men franchise. In the 14 minutes of footage shown, the audience got to see the moment that changed Jean Grey from an everyday member of the X-Men to what will eventually become Dark Phoenix.

Warning: There are spoilers for the 2019 film ahead.

During the footage which was shown at a Fox Showcase at an AMC theater, the X-Men are on a mission to go into space in the Blackbird to save some stranded astronauts in a faulty space shuttle. Mystique leads a team consisting of Jean Grey, Cyclops, Storm, Beast, and Quicksilver, and very quickly, the team realizes it is a race against the clock as what looks like either a cosmic cloud or slow-moving solar flare is headed to the shuttle, and it will burn up everyone inside.

The team goes to work, each with their own objective. Cyclops blasts the ship to stop it from spinning, Storm uses her powers to create ice to patch up holes in the ship, and Nightcrawler takes Quicksilver and Jean into the ship, where Jean uses her powers to try and hold it together. Nightcrawler and Quicksilver save everyone but they couldn’t get back to Jean, who is being hit with the space fire.

Meanwhile, another branch of this flare is headed towards the Blackbird, and Jean uses her powers to pull it towards herself. She’s engulfed in this cosmic fire, and it seemingly kills her. After the unidentified cosmic force dissipates, Nightcrawler brings her back to the ship, and eventually, she wakes up, but there is an orange glow in her eyes. Something has changed inside her, but at this time, the viewer isn’t sure just what.

Obviously, it’s going to take a bit more than that for Jean to completely transform into the Dark Phoenix, but this scene was the start of it all. As we gathered from the second trailer, Jean goes on a search to fix whatever has happened to her, after Professor X and Beast can’t figure it out. This will eventually lead her to Genosha, where she finds Magneto. From there, we’re not entirely sure where the film leads, but you can find out for yourself when Dark Phoenix comes to theaters on June 7, 2019.

Make sure to check out our impressions of the footage Fox showed during New York Comic-Con for Dark Phoenix.

Fox made a trip to New York Comic-Con, and like most studios hosting a panel, those in attendance got to check out exclusive clips for its upcoming movies. At an AMC theater outside of Madison Square Garden, con-goers got to watch a continuous scene from Dark Phoenix, where the X-Men have to leave Earth.

While viewers weren’t told specifically when the scene takes place within the context of the movie, it was pretty clear it happens early on. The X-Men–Beast, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, Storm and Quicksilver, led by Mystique–take the Blackbird into space in order to save some stranded astronauts in the Space Shuttle Endeavour, which was active in the real world from 1992-2011. During the rescue mission, something goes awry and Jean almost dies. However, everyone survives and both the astronauts and X-Men are welcomed back to Earth as heroes.

Viewers were warned that the effects weren’t finalized and neither was the sound, but it didn’t really matter. It still looked pretty great for an early look. The most exciting parts of the scene were seeing everyone work together as a team, primarily both Quicksilver and Nightcrawler, two characters that have grown into a larger role in the newest X-Men film. There’s something wonderfully satisfying about seeing Nightcrawler “bamf” in space or watching Quicksilver work from his perspective where everyone else is in slow motion comparatively. The scene hits on the things we loved about previous film in a nice, little showcase.

It was a basic sequence that was layered with a whole lot more to add to the event plot twists that we’ve seen in the trailer. There is tension growing between Professor X and, well, everyone else. Xavier wants a world where the X-Men are celebrated as heroes, not hated and hunted. That means the X-Men have to go on missions to save the common man, and sometimes, these missions are called in from the President on an “X-Phone.” Yes, a phone with a giant “X” on it. However, Mystique has a problem with this, thinking it’s just stroking Xavier’s ego, as Jean’s life was almost lost in space.

Xavier means well, but you can start seeing a rift in the group, which is a nice addition to this movie, as they’re not just up against “the biggest supervillain threat they’ve ever faced.” Yes, there will more than likely be some of that coming by way of Dark Phoenix, but at least that isn’t the only real problem this team has to face.

However fun the scene may have seemed, there is still some skepticism about the entirety of the film, as the last film in the series, X-Men Apocalypse, was heavier on the pop and flash rather than telling a compelling and interesting story. It’s hard to constantly try and raise the bar when every movie almost ends with the villain destroying the planet. And that could likely happen with Dark Phoenix, but the layering of the team splitting up as well as the villain being someone on the team could very well ground this film a bit more and tug at the emotional heartstrings of the audience.

We’ll find out more about Dark Phoenix in upcoming months before its theatrical release on June 7, 2019.

If FIFA 19 on PS4 and Xbox One is a 40-piece orchestra with all the bells and whistles you can think of, then FIFA 19 on Nintendo Switch is the tribute band. The Switch version of EA’s footballing behemoth purports to have all the same qualities–the Champions League! Ultimate Team! Career Mode!–but under the surface, each of its many facets lacks the depth and longevity from other versions. On the pitch the Switch port feels relatively smooth, if a little dated, but it’s hard to shake off the feeling you’re playing an inferior and incomplete version of this year’s biggest soccer sim.

Some improvements from the PS4 and Xbox One editions carry over to the Switch port, such as timed finishing and the new Kick Off house rules options like No Rules and Survival Mode. Others, such as game plans–or any kind of tactical tweaks or player instructions–do not make the cut.

Once you get on the pitch, things feel satisfying–sometimes. Passing still feels imprecise, even with the world’s best players, but shooting and dribbling feel almost as good as what’s available on other platforms. But this port also seems to pull from older versions of FIFA–many cutscenes and environmental cues like those read out by stadium announcers are from as far back as FIFA 10.

Additional problems crop up when you want to play a friend with one Joy-Con each. It works, but not particularly well. As with FIFA 18 on Switch, fewer buttons and sticks means there’s no way to use finesse shots, threaded through balls, knuckle shots, manual defending, skill moves, or driven passes. Double-tapping the right bumper allows you to knock the ball ahead of you in a similar fashion to the right stick when playing with traditional controls, but similar workarounds don’t exist for the other missing functions. Playing with one Joy-Con is possible but often ends up feeling like more hassle than it’s worth. You are, at least, able to matchmake with friends when playing online, which was missing from last year’s Switch port.

The Champions League license and standalone mode do form a part of the Switch version, complete with Derek Rae’s Aberdeen-Atlantic commentary and UEFA’s operatic anthem. Night games look impressive on Switch, even if the atmospheres don’t quite live up to the sights and sounds of the PS4 and Xbox One editions, in part due to lower resolution. The standalone mode is essentially a stripped-down version of Career Mode, which itself is even more bare-bones on Switch than it is on home consoles this year. On Switch, neither mode contains the dynamic cutscenes or interactive transfer negotiations found on other platforms. Here, FIFA 19 really does feel very similar to 18, just with updated licenses.

Ultimate Team has a similar story in this version. FUT is easily FIFA’s biggest and most popular mode, thanks in large part to EA’s Squad Building Challenges, in-form cards, and more live services that keep things fresh. All those are present and correct on Switch, but the mode is lacking in ways to actually use your squad. Division Rivals, FUT’s new sub-mode for this year on PS4 and Xbox One, is nowhere to be found, meaning you have to make do with standard old Online Seasons matches. Squad Battles, the primary method of play for offline players in FUT, is also absent–the more miserly Single Player Seasons are your best bet here. To make matters worse, you still need a constant internet connection to access even Ultimate Team’s single-player sections, so playing FUT on the go isn’t an option unless you tether your Switch to your phone signal. Oh, and the FIFA 19 companion app is not compatible with Switch versions of the game, so you’re out of luck there, too.

All that’s left is to lament the ongoing absence of The Journey, which of all FIFA’s modes appears the best fit for Switch–a deep, offline story playable in small chunks–and yet it’s omitted entirely from the port. And that sums up the Switch version of FIFA 19: a playable, competent game of football encased in a package of outdated modes and lacking the controls and features you really want.
