An okay SoP overall, although for me somewhat forgettable too.
One trailer that did feel off to me was the 007 one. Bond just looks I dunno, too young, too cocky? Just something gives off a vibe that doesn't make me look at him and think "Yeah that's a James Bond".

A slight correction here:

Nah I just had to after realising that...character's name is Nate.
I'll leave now.
Actually I'll stay briefly for the rest of the SoP, even though I don't have much.
I did watch State of Play sort of live whilst playing and getting ready for bed but having the stream on, although it was watching alongside Maximilian Dood's stream. There wasn't anything I was bound to be interested in getting but I did like seeing the Digimon game get an appearance here, FF Tactics looks good. Arc Systems getting to do a Marvel fighting game was a bit out of left field, but quite deserved as they have been doing quite well with their Guilty Gear games, Granblue Fantasy Versus, Dragon Ball Fighters and the other fighters they do. Maximilian was getting really hyped up during that part which was fun to see how happy he was. They would've blown everyone away if there was a Street Fighter/Capcom character randomly jump to signify a new MvC fighter, even though there was Infinite (which didn't do well to my understanding), the next game was going to be MvC4 and as they're making a FOUR vs FOUR fighter, it was right there for the taking, but alas they needed Capcom's approval among other things to make that become true. Still, being Marvel and they could always include some of their own characters join the roster like Sol Badguy, or whoever else could be a possibility, but I hope the game does well in the FGC regardless.

Very minor note: The physical Ultimate Edition of Digimon Story Time Stranger also comes with a Digimon collectible card (The picutre used is of Aegiomon, but its possible it could be from the set of 4 in the Collector's Edition). It's on the store, anyway.
Also, the Ultimate Edition is $120 (?!) and the Collector's Edition is $200 (!?), so that's wonderful.
...Yeah, I pre-ordered the Collector's Edition. I wanted the cards >.=.>

RE: State of Play Megathread | June 4 SoP Announced - Maniakkid25 - Jun 5th, 2025
It might have just copy pasted the Digital Ultimate Edition's stuff, and forgot the card was in the physical version. That's my best guess, anyway.

@Mr EliteL: Forgot to reply at the time, but now I'm imagining Donut Drake stumbling through places like the museum from Uncharted 2 like the character from Baby Steps.

W-who was asking for this? No, legitimately: who was asking for this?!
Okay, for those unaware, Mortal Kombat Advance is the WORST reviewed Mortal Kombat fighting game game ever released (Mortal Kombat Special Forces reviewed worse, but it was not a fighting game). It is not infrequently mentioned as among the worst games ever made. The game is a GBA port of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 -- a feat that the GBA could have easily done given that it came out on the SNES and Sega Genesis/Mega Drive 5 YEARS BEFORE HAND -- but was made extremely haphazardly and is widely regarded as one of the worst ports of not just this game, but of any game ever. So, again, I have to ask: WHO WAS ASKING FOR THIS?! There's preserving your history, and then there's just dicking around! Next thing you know, you're gonna tell me Mortal Kombat Mythologies Sub-Zero is on this collection!

So the current list of games for that collection are:
- Mortal Kombat
- Mortal Kombat 2
- Mortal Kombat 3
- Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3
- Mortal Kombat 4
- Mortal Kombat Advance
- Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance
- Mortal Kombat: Tournament Edition
RE: State of Play Megathread | June 4 SoP Announced - Maniakkid25 - Jun 9th, 2025
Oh, even better, Deadly Alliance and Tournament Edition are also GBA games (Deadly Alliance has a console version, but it has not yet been announced for the collection), not console or arcade. Now granted, the other two Mortal Kombat GBA games are at least decent. Saying that they are vastly superior to MKA is such a low bar to clear, they do not get points for that, but they are still solid games in their own right. It's just MKA that raises eyebrows for me.

RE: State of Play Megathread | June 4 SoP Announced - Maniakkid25 - Jun 10th, 2025
A little bit of both, tbh. It seems strange that they would announce the GBA version of Deadly Alliance without saying the console version would also be there. That being said, I'm not claiming the GBA version is bad. It's just confusing.

(Jun 10th, 2025, 01:38 AM)Maniakkid25 Wrote:Hmm, so I didn't really notice the first time I saw the list of games that I put in my earlier post that apparently it isn't just a singular version of each game in the collection. For example, Mortal Kombat has the Arcade, SNES, Genesis, Game Boy, and Game Gear versions. So I guess that drastically cuts down the amount of actually different entries the collection will have, as if it's going by versions then currently 19/20+ have been announced.
On the bright side, I learned the game has an interactive documentary included and I really hope it covers Advance because I just wanna see what they have to say about it.
RE: State of Play Megathread | June 4 SoP Announced - Mr EliteL - Jun 11th, 2025
Yeah I got no clue what they were thinking with that collection of MK games, I mean surely you'd just stick with the best version of that time period or if it was a later/better update pre-2012. I mean are die-hard fans really going to spend so much time going through different versions of the same game from different consoles....agh, perhaps they will. That's just a headache for me.
