Month: September 2020

Hand-to-hand combat and plenty of forklift action are coming to Crunchyroll. The cult-favorite Shenmue game series is getting turned into an anime series with original creator Yu Suzuki serving as executive producer.

Announced during the Virtual Crunchyroll Expo on September 5, the Shenmue anime series is a collaboration with Adult Swim and will be directed by One-Punch Man’s Chikara Sakurai. The 13-episode series doesn’t have a release date yet, but Shenmue fans are used to waiting a long time.

After the original two games released on Dreamcast, it took another 18 years to get Shenmue 3. That likely only happened because of a Kickstarter campaign that still stands as the biggest ever for a video game, attracting more than $6 million in donations. The game took nearly two years longer to develop than was initially planned and didn’t perform particularly well outside of its Kickstarter campaign sales.

Sony has confirmed a Gran Turismo game is coming to PS5, as has Microsoft with the Forza series on Xbox Series X, but if you’re looking to race with a few fewer wheels, then Milestone has you covered. Ride 4 is coming early next year for Xbox Series X and PS5 alongside its current-gen and PC versions, and it will take full advantage of the new consoles.

Releasing on January 21, 2021 for Xbox Series X and PS5, Ride 4 supports free upgrades on both platforms. PS4 owners have until April 30 to download the PS5 version of the game, while Xbox One players can get the free Xbox Series X upgrade for an unlimited amount of time. Both will feature 60 frames-per-second gameplay and up to 4K resolution, but it looks like the PS5 version may have the more unique features. It will use the DualSense controller to give off vibrations based on street conditions, and you’ll get resistance in the triggers for the gas and brakes on your bike.

Both next-gen consoles feature 20 riders competing in each race, and Ride 4 will feature Yamaha Motor and Bridgestone gear.

It’s September in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and like with any new month, that means there are some new fish, bugs, and sea creatures to catch. In this guide, we’ll detail every new critter for both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres; note that this is only the new arrivals for the month and not every fish, bug, and sea creature you can catch this month.

For a more comprehensive list of every creature in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, we have a full list of all 80 fish to catch, including shadow sizes, and a list of all 80 bugs to catch, with tips on tracking down the handful of rare ones.

Out now, Marvel’s Avengers is an action-RPG that focuses on rebuilding the team of Earth’s mightiest heroes to face off against a new threat. Starring some of Marvel’s most iconic characters, including Captain America, Hulk, and Iron Man, you’ll work with your team of heroes to battle robot minions and various supervillains. One of the Avengers’ key members is the master assassin Black Widow. And while she doesn’t have superpowers of her own, she possesses a particular set of skills that makes her one of the deadliest members of the superhero crew.

If you want a more detailed look at each playable hero, then check out our on-going break downs for each character, such as this explainer for Iron Man, along with a general look at the entire roster of the Avengers.

Black Widow Hero Summary

To paint a clearer picture for what Natasha Romanova–AKA Black Widow–brings to the table, think of her as the rogue class in the Avengers. She’s the fastest character on the roster, and with her skills that focus on getting in and out of combat with ease, she can be surprisingly tricky to get accustomed to when compared to the other more over-the-top and straight-forward characters. Her skills in taking out foes, in her particular way, can make for a playstyle that’s both slick and clever in its approach. Black Widow is more geared towards agility and heroic attributes when it comes to stats, which will give you some great ways to move around the field and strike at your enemies when they least expect it.

Compared to seeing Iron Man, Ms. Marvel, and the Hulk in action, Black Widow’s somewhat reserved approach certainly sticks out. However, what makes Black Widow such a deadly fighter is that her abilities are tailor-made for single-target enemies. She doesn’t have the bombast of Thor or the Hulk, with their attacks sweeping through large groups of enemies at once. Instead, Black Widow’s abilities focus on incapacitating targets, which means that your attacks will deal heavy stagger damage, opening them up to takedown finishers. When you get used to her style, Black Widow can be a blast to play as.
