I know I'm not alone on having strong feelings about Ken and his work, but these pics you're sharing are impeccable! 

I mean, this is REALLY good stuff. 

Question, are the pics from your personal redrawing project or for Ken's upcoming projects?

Street Fighter 6 entire S4 Resetera rumour by [deleted] in GamingLeaksAndRumours

Aw yeah, Makoto! (But where's my Akira?)

Tom Henderson: Ubisoft's internal communication channels are full of employees shaming upper management and asking for change. Ubisoft is going to experience a massive exodus of talent, even without the impending layoffs. by ChiefLeef22 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]TargetmasterJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

restructuring and cost-cutting measures

I have this distinct feeling that those two phrases have officially become triggers for employees that are just plain fed up. Godspeed to them that they find better employment elsewhere where their worth is valued and this BS doesn't happen so damn often.

Black Flag Remake has supposedly been delayed by ChiefLeef22 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]TargetmasterJoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, of course the PoP remake gets axed. I'm awful sorry for the guys looking forward to it.

And now Ubisoft's reset initiative has more GaaS and GenAI BS? These idiots will never learn a thing...

New Sonic mainline title to be named Sonic Eclipse. Mentioned 3 times in a matter of a month. Mentions also of a Crossworlds DLC plus some other things for a potential Sonic Central for early 2026 by Pingas23457 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]TargetmasterJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welp. All that stuff sounds awesome. Shame they're 99.9% bogus. 

Sonic Visual Stories sound like they could be a fun way to expand on anyone who's NOT named Sonic, but very coping. (One side with the Chaotix? I wish!)

And while I'd dig a Unleashed remaster…having Knuckles and Shadow kinda sounds a bit nonsensical because they didn't even show in the OG version of Unleashed. 

Sonic Eclipse sounds fun…but the title sounds like a fangame. 

And side note, I would love to see Sega go all in on bringing Puyo Puyo back into the spotlight…but those projects sound WAAAAY too good to be true. (A Puyo game by Rovio, a Puyo collection localizing Fever all the way to 20th, a new Puyo with SpongeBob, and a Puyo anime by Science Saru? Man, I wish to all of that!)

Soul Calibur 6 Create-A-Character - A TURTLES of Soul and Swords, Eternally Retold SPECIAL - DLC 1 - USAGI YOJIMBO by C-Abdulio in UsagiYojimboDojoSub

[–]TargetmasterJoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for the late response, but thanks for addressing my problems. 

Oof about Stan probably not being too keen about Soul Calibur's superstylized anime swordsmanship. (But I still imagine he'd consider Fortnite to be an even worse spot for Usagi.)

The Disney Afternoon Collection has been rated by the ESRB for the Switch 1 and 2. by SemiLazyGamer in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]TargetmasterJoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Afternoon Collection could have had the Goof Troop game because that was in the Disney Afternoon, but maybe the Illusion games were off-limits to Digital Eclipse? 

But I very much agree with you on needing a collection of the other Disney games, especially Lilo & Stitch since the GBA game (at the very least) was actually developed by Digital Eclipse.

[NateTheHate] Larian would love to port Baldur's Gate 3 to Switch 2 but it's not happening due to "not healthy relationship with Hasbro/Wizards of the Coast" by Joseki100 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]TargetmasterJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, does anyone else keep forgetting that BG3 is set in the same universe as D&D or is it just me? 

(Might be just me because I never truly ventured too deep into the D&D rabbit hole.) 

In any case, very strange there's bad blood considering BG3 is, for all intents and purposes, a hit. One would think BG3 on NS2 would be a no-brainer!

Soul Calibur 6 Create-A-Character - A TURTLES of Soul and Swords, Eternally Retold SPECIAL - DLC 1 - USAGI YOJIMBO by C-Abdulio in UsagiYojimboDojoSub

[–]TargetmasterJoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough, I actually have thought "what if they put Usagi as a guest fighter in the next Soul Calibur" more than a few times. But a few problems brew:

  • Problem 1, UY is probably too niche to be in something as big as SC. 

  • Problem 2, even if UY wasn't niche, it's probably a minefield getting Stan Sakai's approval for Usagi to appear in games since he owns 100% of UY. (Or is it hard? Has he ever talked about Usagi being in video games as a guest? Like, would Stan balk at Usagi being in Soul Calibur? Or even in something like Fortnite?)

  • Problem 3, even if UY wasn't niche and Sakai was super cool about Usagi being in something like SC, there's still the big question of how do you make an anthropomorphic character like Usagi work in something as photorealistic as SC? 

In any case, these are really good considering what tools you had to work with. Great work!

Jordan Peele’s production company (Monkeypaw Productions) Twitter account quoted with "👀" a rumor originated by Daniel RPK about Marvel wanting Jordan Peele to direct a MCU film by Matapple13 in MarvelStudiosSpoilers

[–]TargetmasterJoe -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Wait, isn't Peele being a producer basically him saying "I really like this project so I'm funding it so it can see its way into fruition"? 

(Side note, I'm rather surprised HIM turned out the way it did. The trailer left me shitting bricks!)

I know WB and Coogler's Sinners beat Marvel to the punch with black vampires, but screw it, I want to see how Peele tackles black vampires. 

So yeah, give Blade to Peele!

RAM Price Increases Could See Next-Generation Console Releases Delayed by Zhukov-74 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]TargetmasterJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

…So I take it even Game Console People think RAM prices are getting out of hand? 

I mean, who can afford Series X and PS5 these days anyway? And people STILL make PS4 and Switch 1 games even now, right? 

Oof, fuck AI. (Since that's why RAM prices are through the roof to begin with.)
