Jugamos a JUMP FORCE y estas son nuestras impresiones




Durante el pasado fin de semana tuvimos el placer de jugar a Jump Force, el próximo título de Bandai Namco que saldrá al mercado nacional el próximo 28 de febrero. Este juego reunirá a los grandes héroes de la Shonen Jump, desde Luffy, Goku o Naruto hasta Gon e Ichigo. Por el momento, las plataformas donde podremos disfrutar de esta nueva aventura son PS4, Xbox One y PC (Nintendo Switch no se ha confirmado hasta la fecha). ¿Y qué nos pareció la beta cerrada?



Ya de entrada, nos ofrecía un total de 15 personajes diferentes: Goku, Vegeta y Freezer de Dragon Ball, Luffy, Zoro y Marshall D. Teach de One Piece, Naruto y Sasuke de Naruto, Seiya de Pegaso de Saint Seiya, Ichigo y Rukia de Bleach, Hishoka y Gon de Hunter x Hunter y Yusuke y Toguro el Menor de Yu Yu Hakusho. ¡Un elenco sublime, y todos ellos perfectamente jugables! Además, que incluyeran tantos personajes en la beta nos mueve a pensar que quizás, y solo quizás, encontremos un roster de luchadores realmente extenso en el juego final.



Conforme seleccionamos los personajes y paseamos por el lobby, que se erige como la base de la Jump Force llamada Umbras, también hay algo que nos llamó mucho la atención… ¡La banda sonora! Este es, sin duda, uno de los puntos más positivos del título, ofreciendo unas composiciones realmente sólidas que podrían rivalizar con cualquier BSO norteamericana de tu película favorita de superhéroes.




Otra particularidad son los escenarios. Podíamos seleccionar 4 diferentes y todos ellos entremezclaban nuestro mundo real con los universos manganime. Así, nos encontrábamos con la Estatua de la libertad en pleno planeta Namek o el Thousand Sunny encallado en los aledaños de Hong Kong. ¡Magia! Y es que en este título los héroes del manganime tendrán que hacer frente a la fusión de nuestro mundo real con su propia realidad, pues alguien pretende fundirlos para sembrar el caos. Una pena que estos escenarios no presenten tanta libertad como los que vemos en Dragon Ball Xenoverse, antojándose bastante limitados.






Una gran curiosidad de los escenarios son los cambios de zona, los cuales los podemos ejecutar realizando un ataque de fuerza máxima al adversario. El proceso por el cual cambiamos los enclaves de combate impresiona, pero como esto hay que contemplarlo en directo, os dejamos con una muestra de lo que experimentamos durante la beta:





En cuanto al sistema de juego, nos ha recordado sobremanera a J-Stars Victory VS, y si nos dijeran que se trata de una secuela directa, nos lo creeríamos. Los combates están formados por equipos de 3 vs 3, y los controles, pese a que no son toscos, sí podrían estar algo más pulidos en el ámbito de la fluidez, pues nos recuerdan demasiado al título de la pasada generación.





Además, no se puede profundizar demasiado en el campo técnico, dependiendo en gran medida de los movimientos especiales, las cargas de energía, los bloqueos y los contraataques. Al menos, tenemos un matiz estratégico con los assists o los cambios de turno entre nuestros personajes, dándole algo más de vida a las partidas. Por otra parte, también hemos apreciado bastantes ralentizaciones durante las partidas, incluso jugando simplemente contra la CPU, así que esperemos que lo consigan arreglar.





En definitiva, una experiencia de juego que recuerda a títulos de la pasada generación, con aspectos que todavía han de pulirse. Sin embargo, el apartado gráfico hiperrealista es sublime y espectacular, y aunque al principio no casa muy bien con los personajes anime, con el transcurso de los combates y el trasfondo histórico tiene mucho sentido. Habrá que esperar al juego final para tener nuestros veredicto. Dynamic Link

Boruto Episode 77 – A Fierce Enemy, Garaga’s Ferocious Attack

In the last episode of Boruto, Garaga managed to overwhelm Boruto’s group and even petrified Chocho while she’s trying to restrain the snake. In Boruto episode 77, will the team manage to survive and get the Gekirin that the White Snake Sage required? Is there any way to de-petrify Cho Cho? How will they defeat the giant snake?

Boruto Episode 77 – Garaga’s Defeat


Even with the combined power of Boruto, Sarada, Team 10, and Aoda, Garaga still managed to foil their plans. In addition to the injury, Chocho is standing petrified in her expanded state. Not only that, they can’t have any reinforcement because nobody knows where they went (not counting Orochimaru and co.) How will they defeat Garaga and get the Reversed Scale?








Garaga’s stare that can turn anything into stone is problematic already. It turns out that he can also detect the movement and location of his enemy, making his petrifying ability more accurate. This will be a hard battle as even Shikadai’s shadow paralysis technique can’t hold the big snake down. But amidst the battle, Boruto and co. will find something peculiar in Garaga’s movement.

Because of the strangeness of Garaga’s movements, a strategy will be made to counter the snake. The snake will then be cornered, but it seems like it will not give up no matter what the ninjas will do. So in an effort to get his Reversed Scale, as per the spoilers, Boruto will try to make Garaga bite into a deal. There’s no clue yet on what the deal is, but if I am to guess, this might involve a summoning contract between Boruto and Garaga. It is also likely that they will do something about Garaga’s eye with the help of the White Snake Sage if Garaga cooperates with them.



Boruto episode 77 will be aired on October 14, 2018.







Where To Watch Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Episode 77 Online?

Hey everyone! Today’s usually the day when Boruto: Naruto Next Generations used to air, but I’m pretty sure those of you who are trying to search for Boruto right now probably aren’t able to find it. The reason for that has already been explained by me multiple times, but in case you’ve somehow missed it, then let me start by informing you that Boruto: Naruto Next Generations will no longer air on Thursdays.


Boruto Episode 77 Release Date


A few months ago, Boruto shifted from Wednesdays to Thursdays. Now, it is changing once again from Thursdays on to Sundays. Last week’s episode aired on Sunday, and it definitely wasn’t a one-time thing. Boruto will continue to air on Sundays unless we’re informed about yet another change in the timeslot. With that being explained, let’s move on to the next episode of Boruto.

Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Episode 77 Spoilers


As you guys may know, Boruto is in its Mitsuki arc right now, and it will span throughout the month of October as well. It has been confirmed that the Mitsuki arc won’t end until at least Boruto Episode 80. This arc has had its ups and downs. It started as excellent, and then there was a rapid drop in quality. Last week’s episode was actually decent, and I think it can pick up from here once again.



In the next episode, we’ll see Garaga take on Boruto Uzumaki and Sarada Uchiha. They’ll team up to get the Reverse Scales from him, but Garaga is unlike any foe they’ve ever faced, and it is going to prove to be a challenge for them. I’m excited to see what it is that Boruto and Sarada can do against this monster. One thing is for sure, quitting is not an option for them since they have to save Mitsuki.

Where To Watch Boruto: Naruto Next Generation Episode 77


Boruto will now air on Sundays, and Episode 77 will air on October 14, 2018. There are some unofficial sites like KissAnime that allow you to watch Boruto. However, please support the official release by streaming the episode over Crunchyroll, or Funimation and help the anime industry.



When Will PlayStation 5 Launch?

In this post, we are going to talk about when will be PlayStation 5 launched? Before discussing anything, we have to appreciate Sony’s efforts that have raised the standards of gaming always. Be it their portable PlayStation or their PlayStation 2, 3, and 4; they have ever done their best to bring out totally different gaming experience. So, let’s start with PlayStation 5 information!

PlayStation 5 Release Date

First of all, there has been no official confirmation from Sony about their next PlayStation device. And why would they rush for a new console when their PlayStation 4 is ruling the gaming market. If PlayStation 4 was performing badly throughout, then they might rush to launch another console. But right now, PlayStation 4 is still dominating, and it is still selling like hot cakes.


PlayStation 5


To back my thoughts, I have a statement from Sony boss Kenichiro Yoshida “At this point, what I can say is it is necessary to have the next-generation hardware.” See, Kenichiro agrees with me (I know that I agree with him)! However, there is no point in talking about PlayStation 5 release this year, or even in 2019. Because Sony is not even considering to work for PlayStation 5 right now, we did not even see any announcement in GDC 2018 or E3 2018.



Let’s be real, we should not expect the release anytime soon. I can predict that Sony will launch their next PlayStation console in the last quarter of 2020. Moreover, it is less likely that we might get hands on PlayStation 5 in 2020 if they even launch it. As manufacturing, those many units will take time, so consider 2021 as an actual hands-on year for PlayStation 5.

The Flash Season 5 Episode 1 Review: Nora Spoilers, Chris Klein As Cicada Reveal

No longer is Central City at peace, it a war zone in the trailer. The Flash premiered on Tuesday night, October 9 in the United States. Flash Season 5 Episode 1 will knit the plot for a mess in Central City. This Season is officially going to be a comeback for The Flash. It promises us new villains, new plot details and it picks up right where Season 4 left off. All characters are a return to form.

The Flash Season 5 Episode 1 Review


The first episode is titled as “Nora.” It detailed on Barry and Iris West-Allen’s daughter from the future. She appears on their door unexpectedly. Barry and Iris have to figure out a way to send her back to the Future; their interaction is awkward in the beginning because let’s keep in mind that this is a female that Barry and Iris haven’t even conceived yet. She is a speedster herself, and she knows a lot about the world of sub-humans, she claims to have studied it all. We see her introduce herself to drunk Flash team and then slowly there’s a bond that’s developing between father and daughter. Nora worships her father; she’s seen struggling to somehow match up to her father her whole life.

Coming back to the Villains and The Central City, Gridlock. This time they have used Gridlock to set plot for Season 5’s main Villain- Cicada. Meta-villain Cicada disrupts Central City and Flash’s life. Sending Nora back and keeping Cicada at bay are the twin challenges that The Flash will face in Season 5.









Fans of the show The Flash, makers have the first Ally revealed the first look of Season 5 Villain, Cicada. We heard numerous reports of Chris Klein being roped in for the part of Cicada. He’s been cast as David Hersch for Season 5 of The Flash. Klein’s inclusion was teased by some people, including The Flash panel at San Diego Comic-Con. A trailer was shortly released after Comic-Con that teased the inclusion of Klein as a Villain.



And now we have a final confirmation in the form of photos of Season 5, Episode 2 that came out earlier this week. CW released these photos from the episode that’s titled as “Blocked” and Cicada has been described as the first semi-immortal metahuman. Cicada possesses the powers to harm other metahumans. Not only that, Cicada is going to be a whiny character on DC’s The Flash who will blame other superhumans for his sufferings.


cicada Reveal



Given how show makers have provided Cicada the ability to disable other meta-humans, his look has seen a sea change. One might be taken by surprise with how Cicada looks in the photos vs. how he’s been described in the series. In the comic books, he’s an old white-bearded man who dons a bald look. In the show, he appears to be nothing like that.

The Flash Season 5: Cast
Jessica Parker Kennedy as Nora
Grant Gustin as The Flash
Candice Patton as Iris West Ellen
Carlos Valdes as Cisco Ramon
Danielle Panabaker as Caitlin Snow
Hartley Sawyer as Ralph Disney
Tom Cavanagh as Harrison
Chris Klein as Cicada
Danielle Nicolet as Cecile Horton
Jesse L. Martin as Joe West
Troy James as Peter Merkel/Rag Doll



On My Block Season 2 New Cast Updates, Release Date, Spoilers

Season 2 of the famous coming of age TV show called On My Block is in works right now. And today we shall discuss the latest developments in the cast of the show. Jessica Marie Garcia has been updated to series regular on Season 2 of OMB. You may know Jessica Marie from the 2017 movie called Avenge the Crows. She started alongside Danny Trejo and Lou Diamond Phillips. Regarding her TV words, you may recognize her from Disney Channel’s Liv and Maddie or from the all-female comedy show on Hulu, Betch. So the news is that the actress has been upped as series regular.

On My Block is a coming of age TV series that premieres on Netflix. Season 1 of OMB came in March of 2018. After the hype that Season 1 generated, Netflix bosses were quick to pick up Season 2; they wasted no time in making an announcement. The series was renewed on April 13th. Shooting to Season 2 started a while ago. The street-savvy series is created by Lauren Iungerich, Eddie Gonzalez and Jeremy Haft for Netflix. As of now, you must also know that On My Block featured on FYSEE which is an annual event by Netflix. In this event, Netflix presents the best of its actors and shows to the audience. And this year, almost all actors from On My Block were present at FYSEE.


On My Block Season 2

On My Block Season 2: Release Date


Now given that Season 1 came out a couple of months ago. Season 2 still is far away. For episode 1 of On My Block writing looks to have wrapped up on July 13th, 2018. I know for a fact from multiple Twitter posts of crew members that OMB scripting ended in August of 2018. And on 25 of August, Sierra Capri made a Twitter announcement saying two weeks were left in the shooting schedule of OMB Season 2. So I assume that shooting must have begun. And from the looks of it, OMB should be out by early half of 2019. You may count on an April release.



At the end of Season 1, Ruby and Olivia were chasing for their lives after shooting a quinceañera. Are they alive, did they survive the manhunt, only Season 2 can tell us. Ruby was shot in the lungs, and his breathing was no more heard once the lights were out. Olivia appears to have been shot more brutally. Ceaser’s storyline is going to experience an upheaval. What happens when the gang finds out that Ceaser wasn’t keen on killing the kid in the bathroom? These are a few hard pressing questions that On My Block Season 2 will answer for us.

Now for Season 2 of the show, Jessica Marie Garcia has been upped as a regular (via IMDb). Jessica plays Jasmine in the show. Rest of the cast which includes Sierra Capri, Jason Genao, Brett Gray, Diego Tinoco, and Julio Macias will all be back. No casting announcements have been made. The regulars play the following characters:
Sierra Capri as Monse Finnie, Brett Gray as Jamal Turner, Diego Tinoco as Cesar Diaz and now, Jessica Marie Garcia as Jasmin.






Star Trek: Discovery Season 2: Release Date, How To Watch And Cast

The spin-off of the Star Trek franchise is back on Television. It’s a prequel to the original Star Trek series and is called as Star Trek: Discovery. Star Trek Discovery takes us to a timeline of 10 years before Star Trek actually started. We get to know about the lives of our favorite characters such as in the first Season itself we saw half-sibling of Spock (although not many appreciated trying to alter the history of Star Trek).

In my opinion, the show is named Discovery for a particular reason; it will continue to discover the things that are unknown to us. We also heard some new jargon in Klingon, saw the first gay kiss, a brand new mode of transportation etc. But more than anything, Star Trek: Discovery Season 1 made us realise the immense potential of the show, how many stories could really be told by the show makers through this particular series.

Now that we have discussed how massive Trek Universe (Prime, Kelvin, etc.) can be, let’s talk about what Season 2 has in store for fans. Episode 1 to Season 2 of Star Trek Discovery is called “Runaway,” and it will talk of Ensign Sylvia Tilly played by the very talented Mary Wiseman. Star Trek: Discovery premieres on CBS.

Star Trek: Discovery Release Date


The release date is no surprise thanks to the Comic-Con weekend that’s coming up. CBS ahead of Comic-Con hyped the Season 2 of Star Trek: Discovery. The Network beforehand mentioned the release date of Star Trek. CBS also released a sort of poster for Season 2 of Star Trek: Discovery on Twitter. If you are around town, you may catch the Starfleet at Comic-Con. Rebecca Romijn will be moderating the event. And as goes for the release date, Star Trek: Discovery will be back on TV in January of 2019. CBS hadn’t mentioned a specific release date for now, but I am expecting some major revelations at Comic-Con this weekend.




Star Trek: Discovery will release on DVD/Blu-ray this November. You may catch the all-new Season on CBS if you are a viewer from the US, an episode per week. CraveTV and Netflix will release Season 2 too in a similar format. Season 1 is streaming on CBS All Access for US viewers, CraveTV in Canada and on Netflix in other countries, as of now.
