That Bloody Roar 5 News Wasn't Real

Some jerk decided to mess with people on an official sounding account.

Bloody Roar's signature thing was characters who were able to transform into animals.

Bloody Roar was an interesting series, but really, when was the last time Konami made or published a fighting game? That's really what should have set off the alarm bells. Activision and Hudson published 3 and 4 respectively on ps2. That and the fact that the fighting genre hasn't made that big a comeback for the real niche ps1/ps2 games to be dusted off.

@Rawrnosaurous: don't make a habit of something you have a thin grasp on yourself. In other words, something about glass houses.... #grammar
