MARVEL Future Fight Welcomes The X-Men in New Update

Additional content includes new uniforms, content status board system and more

Seoul, Korea (June 7, 2017) – The fastest-growing mobile game company in Asia, Netmarble Games Corp., released a new update for its hit action role-playing game MARVEL Future Fight welcoming six of the most popular mutant heroes known as The X-Men — Cyclops, Jean Grey, Rogue, Storm, Beast, and Wolverine – and also their infamous enemy Magneto, the Master of Magnetism. Taking on the role of Wolverine, players will fight their way through a new Epic Quest, becoming increasingly powerful until the last quest is completed, at which point they unlock Cyclops, Storm, Beast, and Rogue. This update also introduces new growth materials, such as X-genes, M’kraan Shards, M’kraan Crystals, and Phoenix Feathers that will help these mutant characters grow stronger.

“The X-Men are historically some of the most beloved characters in the Marvel universe,” said Seungwon Lee, Chief Global officer at Netmarble Games. “This update gives fans a rare opportunity to play as Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm and other favorites as they demonstrate mutant abilities and carry out epic quests in the new storylines.”

“As life-long fans of the X-Men, all of us at Marvel Games are thrilled to bring the mighty mutants to Marvel Future Fight,” said Bill Rosemann, executive creative director of Marvel Games. “And what better way to introduce them than with a hand-selected group of their most popular members! From Wolverine’s razor-sharp claws to Storm’s searing bolts of lighting, Marvel Future Fight players will experience the X-Men in all their excitement!”

In addition to the X-Men, two new uniforms are also being added for other characters in MARVEL Future Fight: A royal suit uniform for the Inhuman known as Crystal and a special unmasked uniform for the fan-favorite Gwenpool.

This update also brings improvements to the Daily Missions format to include chapters instead of stages, allowing players to select from the various chapters to play for certain rewards in order to obtain materials needed. There is also a new system in place called the Contents Status Board that will allow players to check on the status at the main lobby for all the contents that have daily limits at once.

The full list of characters joining MARVEL Future Fight today includes:

  • Cyclops – The leader of the X-Men, who can shoot powerful energy from his eyes.
  • Jean Grey – A founding member of the X-Men with great telepathic powers who can also transform into the cosmic being known as the Phoenix.
  • Wolverine – One of the most famous X-Men, who has an advanced healing factor, adamantium-laced skeleton and retractable claws.
  • Storm – One of the most powerful, noble and respected members of the X-Men, who can control nature itself.
  • Beast –While he may look like a bouncing blue monster, Hank McCoy possesses a brilliant mind and a love of science.
  • Rogue – Evolving from an enemy of the X-Men to one of their most valued members, Rogue can fly, is super strong, and can absorb the powers of anyone she touches.
  • Magneto – While Magneto – who has the ability to control magnetic fields — fights for the survival of all mutants, his misguided actions have made him the most feared foe and #1 archenemy of the X-Men.

MARVEL Future Fight is available worldwide in the App Store® and Google Play™.

Escape From New York Review

Escape From New York Review

Escape From New York

Studios: AVCO Embassy Pictures
Platforms: Cinema 
Release Date: Out Now

Overview

Directed by the cult cinema director John Carpenter, Escape from New York occupies an interesting place in the pop culture landscape. It is, by most measures, an above average piece of shlock cinema. It really should not have had the lasting appeal it has found but, in spite of this, it has found a niche and fills it with gusto. When it comes to schlock, it’s best to approach it with a positive mindset and a degree of insobriety. With these facts in mind, I fly a gullfire down to George St Cinemas to watch the action unveil at the In the House screening of Escape from New York.

The MCs for the evening were Jason ‘Jabba’ Davis and David ‘Quinny’ Quinn who, in true In the House fashion went off script and gave two jetboating tickets to some cosplayers who were dressed as characters from the film. Originally, I imagine they were meant to (I imagine) give the tickets away to the winners of whatever competition they could organise at short notice but In the House runs upon the rule of cool and these cosplayers were evidently so cool that they deserved this prize purely by walking in the door. Kudos to Jabba and Quinny for sticking by their guns and going with the flow!

Following their snap decision, we sat down to enjoy some trivia regarding the film’s production. Of particular interest to me was the fact that this film wasn’t shot on location in New York but rather in St Louis after it had suffered a catastrophic urban fire (which is why the sets look so lavish and expansive compared to the rest of the film). Another of the highlights which Quinny elucidated on was the fact that Hideo Kojima, creator of the Metal Gear series, took such inspiration from the main character of this film that he named the protagonist of his video game series after him. I’m going to give you an extra tidbit of trivia, dear reader, and reveal that Hideo Kojima was not the only luminary who was inspired by this film. William Gibson, the de facto father of the cyberpunk genre, was similarly inspired by this film and it’s protagonist to go and write Neuromancer. Ruminating upon the serendipitous nature of this film’s place within pop culture, I kicked back and awaited the screening proper.

Story

The story starts off with intertitles explaining that in not so distant future (of 1997), America decided to make a super maximum security prison out of the city of New York. The city is walled off with any attempts to escape meeting with fatal force from the militarised guard units stationed around the perimeter. Into this mix, terrorists hijack Air Force One and crash the plane into the ruined city with the president surviving the crash in an escape capsule. The warden, unable to send a larger force in to rescue the president, coerces war hero turned criminal, Snake Plisken (Kurt Russel), to enter the city and rescue the president. Plisken has to traverse a ruined cityscape, avoid the predations of the inmates, and extract the president before the micro-explosives in his neck blow up and kill him.

This film is unabashedly sci-fi action movie shlock. It’s action is largely nonsensical with pretty much every plot point in the film being almost without any semblance of logic. Characters often do things purely for the sake of moving the plot along and not any sense of personality or internal motivation.  Not to mention the whole of New York getting walled off and turned into a hellish prison city. What I will give is that the film does have a sense of humour though with a number of running gags throughout the film which only become funnier with repetition. That’s not an easy trick to pull off and the film rightly deserves praise for being able to pull it off. Some of this humour may also have been unintentional and my companion for the evening did laugh at the film’s vague understanding of science whereby X-rays can neutralise explosive charges.

Russel’s performance as the tough-as-nails Snake is fairly monotonal, as you’d expect from an action hero from this era. Most of what we learn of his character we learn secondhand from his interactions with characters with references to events which occurred before the start of the film’s narrative. It would have been nice if we could see a bit more of this backstory but it works to create who we feel has a history and grounding in this world. We do see glimmers of selflessness near the end of the film but ultimately he’s more akin to a classical idea of a hero who is largely motivated by ensuring his own survival.

There are far too many moments where the story decides to drag its feet. There were quite a few scenes where Snake pretty much just walked around the ruins of New York aimlessly trying to find his quarry. Sure it may be more realistic for a buff and tough action hero protagonist to actually have a hard time figuring out how he can find the missing president in the middle of a blasted cityscape he’s never been in before. Sure, it might be realistic but if I wanted to experience a story where the main character wanders around ruined buildings waiting to trigger the next plot element, I’d have stayed home and played Fallout (da dum tis). I wouldn’t have minded a bit more contrivance or serendipity of it meant the film’s story moved with a bit more brevity.

Visuals

The biggest gripe I have with this film is that it’s far too dark… in a literal sense. As Quinny and Jabba mentioned before the film started, the film is almost divested of any semblance of ample lighting. Pretty everything in this film is wreathed in shadow which creates some pretty cool shadows and reveals here and there but overall it feels somewhat underlit and I would have appreciated a floodlight or two to let me see what was going on. Nonetheless, the burnt out remains of St Louis did an admirable job of doubling as the burnt out remains of New York. I understand that in a pre-9/11 world, the image of a New York in rubble was considered in ground-breaking and I can appreciate the ground that this film broke in imagining a corner stone of the Western world as a blasted hellscape.

Audio

The film’s audio proves to be an interesting creation of Carpenter’s. Generally the scores by Carpenter are known for their synthy tones and Escape From New York does not skimp in this particular regard. Besides being a hallmark of a particular director’s style, there really isn’t much I can say about the film’s soundtrack. It does the job of punctuating the film’s emotional beats but it doesn’t leave much of an impression otherwise. It’s not something which I’d hold out as an exemplar of a cinematic soundtrack but I’m not going to denigrate it as a terrible example either. It’s competent, it matches the film’s general 70s aesthetic, and it gets the job done.

Overall

Escape from New York is an interesting film to examine in retrospect. It very much falls into the category of schlock action film with an inspired concept but limited script which often tells more than it shows of its characters. The visuals are generally drowned in darkness but shooting on location in actual ruined buildings was pretty cool. The soundtrack is a healthy dose of synthy tracks, as is characteristic of John Carpenter, but didn’t leave too much of an impression upon yours truly. Despite these many shortcomings, I found myself enjoying my time with this film very much. I can recommend watching it at least once for the sake of seeing a film which served as the inspiration for so much of our modern zeitgeist but I’m not sure it’ll hold up over multiple viewings…

AMSTERDAM – June 6, 2017 – Gambitious Digital Entertainment has released the first official gameplay trailer for Outreach, the upcoming zero-gravity adventure game from independent developer Pixel Spill.

A narrative mystery set near the end of the Cold War, Outreach follows one cosmonaut’s search for the missing crew of a Soviet space station in the frigid reaches of Earth’s orbit. Players must explore the crippled remains of the installation, navigating an abandoned environment filled with historically accurate technology and objects from the 1980s, to discover the fate of its lost souls.

Between the claustrophobic spaces of its interior and the unforgiving void outside, players will get to experience a realistic world of weightlessness. Travel by pushing off from surfaces and gripping onto others to keep from floating away.

Outreach will be playable for the first time at E3 in Los Angeles this month. The game will be featured at Gambitious’ press area inside the Devolver Indie Picnic across from the convention center’s main entrance. Lead voice actors Adam Harrington, known for his performance as Bigby Wolf in The Wolf Among Us, and Seamus Dever, known for his role as Detective Kevin Ryan in the ABC series Castle, will also be available for interviews.
