When Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite was announced at PlayStation Experience 2016, we called upon players around the world to form teams of intergalactic heroes, world warriors, and peacekeeping robots. We’ve enjoyed seeing the amount of creativity exhibited by the community and look forward to more awe-inspiring plays. With the one-year anniversary of the announcement coming…

There’s so much in Harrington’s career and memories to pick out, but a notable anecdote which…
“I wanted to live in the meme moment, but I didn’t get to”. There are some people who feel that the Metal Gear series peaked with Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.
