The 494th Fighter Squadron, the “Mighty Black Panthers,” at RAF Lakenheath in the United Kingdom was the first unit within the United States Air Forces in Europe (USAFE) MAJCOM to start adding wraps to aircrew helmets.
Naval aviators have traditionally customized their flying helmets with reflective tape, callsigns, and squadron emblems, but USAF aircrews have been prohibited from doing so in recent years due to specific Air Force Instructions, or AFIs. These helmet decals are often designed to represent an individual squadron or airframe and foster esprit de corps among the aircrews that wear them.ĭisgruntled officers approached then USAF Chief of Staff Gen Dave Goldfein in 2019 to seek his blessing to implement changes in regulations as part of the wider bid to help improve squadron culture and morale, thus helping to address a serious issue with retention. The result is some stunning helmet wraps that are now appearing in increasing numbers throughout the Air Force. Previous strict USAF rules regarding any changes to flying helmets have been relaxed as part of a push to improve morale in squadrons and empower the more junior ranks. Air Force pilots are creating incredible personalized artwork to adorn their flying helmets. They'll also miss out on Ultimax's expanded roster, which includes eight new characters.Įven if they aren't Persona fans, Xbox players who didn't play the game during the 360 era are missing out on a fighting game from Arc System Works, the developers behind Guilty Gear, BlazBlue. While they do get access to the developer's recent hit Dragon Ball FighterZ via Game Pass, it's unfortunate they won't be able to play Ultimax on their current set-up.U.S. Ultimax concludes the storyline started in its predecessor, meaning anyone who picked it on up via backward compatibility on the Xbox One won't get the whole story. While the action takes place in traditional one-on-one fighting game style, the story is told through visual novel interludes. The first is that the Persona 4 Arena games serve as sequels to Persona 4. Its sequel, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, won't be joining it on modern Xboxes.
The first installment, Persona 4 Arena, is available through backward compatibility. The Persona series' footprint on Xbox consoles has been limited to the fighting game spin-off for Persona 4. MultiVersus (and Where They're From) Marvel vs. RELATED: Every Confirmed Character in Warner Bros.
Those that never got a chance to play it can judge whether it's a true cult classic or just the inspiration for a lot of cosplay. Fans of the original release can see if it still holds up.
A collaboration between two creative voices as unique as James Gunn and SUDA51, featuring voice acting by a cast including nerd icons like Tara Strong and Michael Rosenbaum, should be accessible just for curiosity's sake. That makes its lack of inclusion in the backward compatibility program disappointing. Its best chance to make it to the current gaming generation was a surprise backward compatibility inclusion like heavy metal fantasy Brütal Legend has enjoyed. Music rights (the game featured songs like Tony Basil's "Mickey" prominently) and the game's polarizing reception make it unlikely WB Games will ever make an effort to remaster Lollipop Chainsaw, much less remake it. Lollipop Chainsaw is practically the last game anyone would expect to get a re-release.
