It’s a game of uncompromised vision, and where the original looked at the likes of <em>Fable </em>and <em>Oblivion</em> and asked “what does Capcom’s version of that look like?”, the sequel responds: “why don’t we make Capcom’s version of <em>Dragon’s Dogma</em> instead?”.</p><p>The original game is full of compromises. Content cut short for time or RAM. An entire planned beast race that never made it in. Only two inhabited settlements, one of them a tiny tutorial village. And squeezed onto creaking hardware that could barely run it. Well, the more things change, etc. To anyone with an interest in the original game and its development, it’s clear that Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a <a href="/dragons-dogma-2-12-years-in-the-making">labour of love</a>, and a hugely successful do-over for an idea that didn’t quite materialise on the first attempt.</p><p>Which is why, as explained in the video above, I’m not convinced by the circulating idea that Dragon’s Dogma 2 is some kind of cynical money-grab. Yes, the microtransactions are stupid, pointless, and opportunistic. But if they’re a dealbreaker, that’s a whole lot of baby getting thrown out with the bath water.</p> <p><a href="/dragons-dogma-2-is-gen-z-morrowind-and-i-love-it?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Witch actor is going to lead the upcoming Jurassic World sequel?

Now, though, it sounds like casting is ramping up, with Scarlet Johansson having been reported to be in talks to join the Universal project <a href="https://deadline.com/2024/03/scarlett-johansson-jurassic-world-1235867404/">last month</a>. As reported by <a href="https://deadline.com/2024/04/jurassic-world-wicked-jonathan-bailey-1235886615/">Deadline</a>, up next in early talks to join the project is Jonathon Bailey, the English actor best known for his role as Anthony, Viscount Bridgerton in the immensely popular Netflix period drama Bridgerton.</p><p>The actor is still yet to be fully locked-in, so you'll have to wait for an official announcement. After all, Deadpool 2 director David Leitch was reportedly initially eyed up as a potential director, though it ultimately went to Edwards due to creative differences between Universal and Leitch, so it's entirely possible talks with Bailey will fall through too. Outside of that, the upcoming sequel is also <a href="/jurassic-world-sequel-bringing-back-jurassic-park-writer">bringing back the original film's writer</a>, David Koepp, who wrote both the 1993 Jurassic Park, and its 1997 sequel The Lost World: Jurassic Park.</p> <p><a href="/jurassic-world-4-universal-in-talks-with-wicked-bridgerton-actor?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Elden Ring's now been beaten using morse code, and yes, watching it happen will probably make you feel useless at games</title><link>/elden-ring-beaten-using-morse-code?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Mark Warren</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 16 Apr 2024 15:27:26 +0000</pubDate><guid>/elden-ring-beaten-using-morse-code?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Elden Ring</category><category>Bandai Namco Entertainment</category><category>Xbox One</category><category>Xbox Series X/S</category><category>Single Player</category><category>FromSoftware</category><category>Action Adventure</category><category>RPG</category><category>PC</category><category>Third person</category><category>Multiplayer Competitive</category><category>PS4</category><category>Multiplayer Cooperative</category><category>PS5</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/elden-ring-beaten-using-morse-code-01.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/elden-ring-beaten-using-morse-code-01.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p>I'm gonna cut to the chase here. A streamer's just beaten <a href="/games/elden-ring">Elden Ring</a> - including my buddy and yours Malenia - using button-operated morse code. As with asll these kinds of challenge runs, it's an incredibly impressive feat, and will no doubt leave you utterly devastated about how terrible you are at video games in comparison.</p><p>Sure, we've still got a little bit of time to go before the <a href="/yoshi-p-gives-us-one-week-to-play-elden-ring-dlc-before-final-fantasy-14-dawntrail">Shadow of the Erdtree DLC drops</a> and you get to really remind yourself just how useless you can be at Fromsoftware's array of 'here's a big scary person/thing, now slap or shoot stuff at them until they fall over' masterpieces. But, hey, you might as well start getting that out of the way now.</p><p>Meet streamer <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/silithur">Silithur</a>, who's going to help you do just that. They've just finished off a run through Elden Ring which saw them use morse code toi control their character, via a very fun big red button. Yes, that's been their only input for every action you could possibly want to fire off as you're traversing the Lands Between, or nearly having your head taken off by a boss.</p> <p><a href="/elden-ring-beaten-using-morse-code?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>I don't like the Fallout games, but the show might have made me a convert</title><link>/amazon-fallout-series-might-have-made-me-a-fan?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Oisin Kuhnke</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 16 Apr 2024 15:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/amazon-fallout-series-might-have-made-me-a-fan?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Fallout</category><category>iOS</category><category>Bandai Namco Entertainment</category><category>Xbox One</category><category>Apple</category><category>Bethesda Game Studios</category><category>Film & Television</category><category>Pop Culture</category><category>RPG</category><category>Third person</category><category>PS4</category><category>PS3</category><category>Fallout 76</category><category>Single Player</category><category>Fallout 3</category><category>Xbox 360</category><category>Fallout 4</category><category>Amazon MGM Studios</category><category>PC</category><category>Amazon Prime</category><category>Multiplayer Competitive</category><category>First person</category><category>Shooter</category><category>Multiplayer Cooperative</category><category>Obsidian Entertainment</category><category>Bethesda Softworks</category><category>Fallout: New Vegas</category><category>MMORPG</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/fallout-convert.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/fallout-convert.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p>Before I get started, I'm going to have to ask you to put your guns down, because here's the thing: I don't really like the <strong>Fallout</strong> games. My first experience of actually playing them was with <strong>Fallout 4</strong>, which I do admit isn't the best way to start things off for a franchise that has run as long as it has, but it is what it is. I managed to make it a few hours into Fallout 4, but to be honest I just didn't vibe with it. The game did a pretty bad job at making me care about my baby, and I just felt a bit listless heading out into the wastelands. Not to mention the fact that I really didn't care for the stiff, boring shooting that becomes all the more painful when you encounter a flying enemy, V.A.T.S. or not.</p><p>Past that point, I've seen a good bit of playthroughs of both 3 and <strong>New Vegas</strong>, yet I more found people goofing around in them fun rather than actually enjoying what the games were doing themselves. When it comes to the OG, CRPG titles, well, I'm not really big on the genre except for rare instances (like <strong>Disco Elysium</strong> and my beloved Kim Kitsuragi). My partner, however, loves Fallout 4 - or, I should say they love to build bases and hang out with certain characters, they couldn't give a radroach's ass about that baby either. But their previous hyperfixations with the game have led to several info-dumping sessions that mean I'm broadly familiar with Fallout's post-apocalypse world.</p><p>And so, I felt well-enough prepared to watch Amazon's live-action adaptation of the RPG series, even if I was expecting to come away from it a bit ambivalent. After all, what interest could I have in it when it just hasn't worked out for me so far, right down to some of the games' aesthetic choices? Surprisingly enough, though, I… actually really enjoyed the show. Shock horror, right? This series the appeal of which has long been lost on me suddenly drawing me in?</p> <p><a href="/amazon-fallout-series-might-have-made-me-a-fan?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Hopped into Fallout 4 on Xbox after watching the Fallout TV show, but achievements won't unlock?

You're certainly not alone in the regard, but if you've picked <a href="/games/fallout-4">Fallout 4</a> on Xbox specifically, you might have run into the small problem of achievements just not unlocking.</p><p>Yup, while it arguably feels like the vast majority of the architecture, gear, and items featured in the show - alongside all those other <a href="/fallout-tv-show-potential-classic-fallout-reference-improv">references</a>, <a href="/fallout-tv-show-vault-maps-analysis">easter eggs</a>, and cameos - are specifically designed to get you to head back to Boston, Boston's not tready to reward you for coming back.</p><p>As a number of folks who've decided to emerge from Vault 111 again have been reporting (thanks, <a href="https://www.trueachievements.com/news/fallout-4-achievements-xbox-broken">TrueAchievements</a>), Fallout 4's achievements on Xbox aren't doing what they should be. It seems like this has been an issue since the final days of March, since which point, the poor Sole Survivors on Microsoft's console haven't been able to be thanked for doing things like saving Preston Garvey, or playing Atomic Command on their Pip-Boy.</p> <p><a href="/fallout-4-achievement-issues-following-fallout-tv-show?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Fallout explained - Amazon's TV show dissected in less time than it takes for the nuke to drop in Fallout 4's intro</title><link>/fallout-tv-show-explainer-fallout-4-bomb?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Mark Warren</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 16 Apr 2024 14:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/fallout-tv-show-explainer-fallout-4-bomb?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Fallout</category><category>Xbox One</category><category>Single Player</category><category>Fallout 4</category><category>Bethesda Game Studios</category><category>Pop Culture</category><category>PC</category><category>Bethesda Softworks</category><category>RPG</category><category>PS4</category><category>Third person</category><category>Shooter</category><category>First person</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/fallout-tv-show-explainer-01.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/fallout-tv-show-explainer-01.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p><strong>Warning: Major spoilers for series one of Amazon's Fallout TV show lie ahead.</strong></p><p>Ok, so most of us have all had a little bit of time to watch <a href="/tv-shows/fallout">Amazon's Fallout TV show</a> now.</p><p>But what if you maybe watched it in bits, rather than all in one go, or felt like certain things weren't quite made clear enough?

That's on the shorter end, even for an Indie World presentation, so don't expect news on absolutely every indie game under the sun. Nintendo normally has some surprises up its sleeves, including for Indie World, but obviously the surprise that everyone is hoping for is a Hollow Knight: Silksong release date.</p><p>Now, I know what you're thinking: don't people spam "Silksong when?" in the chat of every livestream like this? What makes this one any different? Well, just earlier this week it was spotted that Silksong received a rating by the <a href="https://www.classification.gov.au/titles/hollow-knight-silksong">Australian ratings board</a>. It received one back in February too, in Korea, a territory whose ratings board frequently reveals games prior to their official announcements. Ratings don't necessarily mean a game is out anytime soon, for example Silent Hill: The Short Message was rated last year, before the wave of Silent Hill news arrived in October, and that free horror title didn't release until earlier this year.</p> <p><a href="/will-we-see-hollow-knight-silksong-at-indie-world-nintendo-direct?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>The best game where your family DITCHES you?

With the prerequisite understanding that none of them are allowed to pick <a href="/games/fallout-3">Fallout 3</a>, the quintessential "dad's buggered off" simulator.</p><p>As it turns out, being forsaken by a family member is a fairly common scenario in video games, especially if you widen the concept of family out to any sort of fraternity or gang. Which didn't stop racer-obsessed Mark trying to crowbar in a Burnout game, of all things. Or Tom from bringing up the usual guff. To find out which specific guff, you'll have to watch or listen to this, which is presumably what you're doing here in the first place, which means I've essentially wasted the last five minutes of my life typing this out. Thanks for that. Thanks. I could have spent that doing something nice, like cradling my laughing child, or eating crisps, or any number of things that we do while the reaper waits.</p><p>Anyway, watch Fallout, it's good.</p> <p><a href="/best-game-where-dad-runs-off?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Best Games Ever Podcast - Extended Edition Info Page</title><link>/best-games-ever-podcast-extended-edition-info-page?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Tom Orry</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 16 Apr 2024 13:02:43 +0000</pubDate><guid>/best-games-ever-podcast-extended-edition-info-page?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/16_9-LOGO.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/16_9-LOGO.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p>Hello there.

You can now enjoy The Best Games Ever Podcast created by VG247 with a cheeky extra section on the end - in both audio and video form! How smashing. If you can't see all of this article, then, "boo, hiss," etc, as you aren't a paid-up member. There's a button to do that under this.</p><p>All we're asking for is £2.99 a month or £29.99 a year to get your mitts on the extended show. That is a bargain, I hope you'll agree. I'm not paying it as I work here and star in said podcast, but if I didn't do those things I've be rummaging in my wallet for my debit card instead of writing out these words.</p><p>Each week as part of the Extended Best Games Ever Podcast you get to hear what our host, Jim Trinca, picks. Chances are it'll be Sleeping Dogs, something sci-fi (maybe Star Trek), or a game only five other people who have ever lived actually like.

Well, a lot of the usual kinds of fixes, plus a passive swap that stops one of the latest warbond's armours from accidentally being a magnet for buyer's confusion, if not buyer's remorse.</p><p>If you're out of the loop, <a href="/new-helldivers-2-warbond-arrives-next-week-includes-explosive-crossbow">the Democratic Detonation Warbond arrived in-game</a> last week, bringing with it a bunch of useful tools to help you continue to <a href="/helldivers-2-automatons-back-platinum-trophy">battle the returned automatons</a>, even if you can't afford the <a href="/helldivers-2-new-ship-module-upgrades-pay-lot-teach-crew-pack-boxes">latest ship module upgrades</a>. Sadly, up until this latest patch arrived, if you bought one of the armour sets on offer, you weren't quite getting what you paid for.</p><p>As detailed in the notes for <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/553850/view/7974260991426339747?l=english">patch 01.000.203</a>, the main thing it does is resolve a bit of a mixup regarding the CE-27 Ground Breaker armour. You see, it'd accidentally shipped with a 'servo-assisted' passive, instead of the 'engineering kit' one it was advertised as featuring. </p> <p><a href="/helldivers-2-patch-ground-breaker-armour-passive-fix?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Disney+ is reportedly tuning into the 1930s for its next new feature</title><link>/disney-plus-is-reportedly-adding-new-tv-like-feature?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Oisin Kuhnke</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 16 Apr 2024 11:06:08 +0000</pubDate><guid>/disney-plus-is-reportedly-adding-new-tv-like-feature?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Film & Television</category><category>Pop Culture</category><category>Disney+</category><category>The Walt Disney Company</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/Disney%2B-hub-header.png?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/Disney%2B-hub-header.png?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p>Remember No? Well, it seems like <strong>Disney+</strong> is reinventing them anyway, as it apparently looks set to introduce 24/7 scheduled content.</p><p>A lot of you younger readers will likely be a lot more familiar with streaming services as opposed to traditional, cable television, meaning you won't be so familiar with the idea that TV didn't used to be as on-demand as it is now. You'd have to "channel hop" looking around different stations for the show you wanted to watch, and there wasn't a guarantee that something good was on. Streaming has pretty much gotten rid of that entirely, but it seems like cable is coming back, as a recent report from <a href="https://www.theinformation.com/articles/to-keep-viewers-disney-plans-a-new-streaming-concept-old-style-tv-channels">The Information</a> claims that Disney+ is looking to introduce 24/7 channels, complete with commercial breaks.</p><p>This would obviously follow a time-honoured tradition of regularly broadcasted on-the-air TV that started way back in 1936 with the BBC, <a href="https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld200910/ldselect/ldcomuni/37/3707.htm">the world's first regular television service</a>. There aren't really many details on what Disney's plans are exactly for such a feature, but apparently it will be genre-based, or you can choose channels based on whether you want to watch something like the National Geographic, or just one animated Disney film after the other. It doesn't sound like you'll be able to use this feature without a subscription, though, which means you'd essentially be paying to watch content you can otherwise watch ad-free, but with ads spliced throughout what you're watching.</p> <p><a href="/disney-plus-is-reportedly-adding-new-tv-like-feature?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Smite 2 shoots to the top of Steam's top sellers entirely through pre-order founder packs</title><link>/smite-2-shoots-to-the-top-of-steams-top-sellers-entirely-through-pre-order-founder-packs?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Connor Makar</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 16 Apr 2024 10:37:42 +0000</pubDate><guid>/smite-2-shoots-to-the-top-of-steams-top-sellers-entirely-through-pre-order-founder-packs?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Xbox Series X/S</category><category>MOBA</category><category>Action Adventure</category><category>Smite 2</category><category>Free-to-play</category><category>PC</category><category>PS5</category><category>Fantasy</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/smite-2-cross-gen-skin-jpg.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/smite-2-cross-gen-skin-jpg.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p><a href="/games/smite-2">Smite 2</a> has just popped up on Steam, and has already soared all the way up to the platform's Top Sellers list. The game has yet to get its initial release date. It doesn't even have an open beta available. This surge of interest comes entirely through pre-ordered founders packs.</p><p>There are three of these founders packages in total - the founders edition, the deluxe founders edition, and the ultimate founders edition - which range from $30 to $100 in value. While the game will be free-to-play on launch, the basic pack will get you all the Smite 2 Gods (characters) forever, some exclusive cosmetics, as well as a <a href="/while-og-players-will-get-rewarded-smite-cosmetics-will-not-carry-over-into-smite-2">2x bonus to any legacy gems you bring over from the original Smite</a>.</p><p>As for the higher tiers, they provide additional skins and cosmetics as well as ascension passes (which are basically paid-for progression passes for individual Gods). All these, which don't even ensure access to the game's alpha nor beta tests, were enough to supercharge Smite 2's sudden ascent to the top of the Top Sellers charts.</p> <p><a href="/smite-2-shoots-to-the-top-of-steams-top-sellers-entirely-through-pre-order-founder-packs?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Love it or hate it, Velma season 2 gets its first trailer</title><link>/velma-season-2-gets-its-first-trailer?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Oisin Kuhnke</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 16 Apr 2024 10:17:04 +0000</pubDate><guid>/velma-season-2-gets-its-first-trailer?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Film & Television</category><category>Pop Culture</category><category>Velma</category><category>Scooby-Doo</category><category>Warner Bros.</category><category>Warner Bros Discovery</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/velma-season-2.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/velma-season-2.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p><strong>Velma</strong> season 2 finally has a trailer ahead of its premiere later this month, showing that the titular character is leading a new life - a popular one.</p><p>When the first season of Velma released last year, it didn't exactly go down well with… well, anyone, to be honest. Clearly it was popular enough to warrant a second season though, as the first trailer for it came out yesterday, showing off a look at Velma's life post-solving her first case. Like the first season, it looks like there'll be more teen angst, difficult relationships, and violence. This time around it appears that there's a serial killer targeting men, but unsurprisingly the mystery as to why is something you'll have to see solved in the show itself.</p><p>Mindy Kaling returns as the titular Velma for season 2, alongside Constance Wu as Daphne, Sam Richardson as Norville (aka Shaggy), and Always Sunny in Philadelphia's Glenn Howerton as Fred. Spoilers here for the first season of the show if you haven't watched it and do actually want to check it out, but the trailer also shows Norville struggling with hallucinations of Fred's mother Victoria, who he accidentally caused the death of after it came to light that she was the murderer from season 1. Of course, because this is an adult show you have to remember, the apparent cure for this is marijuana.</p> <p><a href="/velma-season-2-gets-its-first-trailer?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Looking for the next RPG to sink your teeth into?

This comes from sources that spoke with <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/keanu-reeves-joins-sonic-3-shadow-1235874487/">The Hollywood Reporter</a>, so it's not outright set in stone just yet, but THR has a long history of accurately reporting on behind the scenes news in the film industry so it's a safe bet. The casting also follows on from last week's CinemaCon, where Paramount showed off some footage of the upcoming sequel exclusively to attendees.</p><p>Footage apparently showed a depressed and out of shape Dr. Robotnik, once again played by Jim Carrey, as well as Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles all fighting against Shadow. Another scene also showed Sonic fighting Shadow one on two, the second part of Shadow being a motorbike, an iconic vehicle of his from his PS2 solo game. We don't actually know all that much about this threequel aside from Shadow being the new protagonist, aside from the fact that it will <a href="/sonic-the-hedgehog-3-movie-live-and-learn">feature the series' best song</a>. Outside of Carrey, we do also know that Krysten Ritter (Jessica Jones) and Cristo Fernandez (Ted Lasso), as well as others, <a href="/jim-carrey-sonic-the-hedgehog-3-movie-krysten-ritter-cristo-fernandez">have joined the cast</a>.</p> <p><a href="/sonic-3-reportedly-casts-keanu-reeves-as-shadow-the-hedgehog?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Remember Fallout 3's Three Dog?

Who doesn't like big robots, armed with a variety of distinct and powerful weapons, duking it out? Point me to someone who detests the idea and you'd be pointing at a rube and a coward. Yet, even so, the multiplayer mech game has historically struggled to find much of a footing in Western markets. Enter Mechabreak, the latest game hoping to break this precident.</p><p>Mechabreak - created by Chinese developer Seasun Games - is a brand-new mecha IP focused on unique mechs with their own distinct abilities and quirks. It's a role-based team shooter like you'vee seen with Overwatch and other multiplayer games in a similar camp, but encased in sleek sci-fi robots and the like. It comes to the world while the ashes of Gundam Evolution are still warm, a game with a well-known IP that burned out without latching onto much of an audience. Mechabreak will have to be good - damn good - to succeed in the current free-to-play death tornado that's culled many games with genuine merit.</p><p>With that in mind, it's good news that Mechabreak is undoubtedly fun to play. No question about it. During my time with the game, I was engrossed in the variety of mechs available in the base roster. A slow and sturdy tank mech, able to withstand overwheling firepower through smart use of shields and other protective abilties. A lightweight aerial alternative, able to take to the skies in a jet mode while raining down on enemy players was also enticing. Ultimately, my heart rested with an axe-wielding close-quarters mecha that allowed me to box in and cut apart players who got too close. There's a dish for any palette here.</p> <p><a href="/in-a-post-armored-core-6-world-can-mechabreak-smash-the-mecha-curse?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Yes, you can call that Vault-Tec number from Amazon's Fallout, but you might not like what you hear</title><link>/amazon-fallout-vault-tec-number-you-can-call-it?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Oisin Kuhnke</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 15 Apr 2024 16:03:31 +0000</pubDate><guid>/amazon-fallout-vault-tec-number-you-can-call-it?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Xbox One</category><category>Single Player</category><category>Fallout 4</category><category>Bethesda Game Studios</category><category>RPG</category><category>PC</category><category>Bethesda Softworks</category><category>Third person</category><category>PS4</category><category>Shooter</category><category>First person</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/fallout-the-ghoul.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/fallout-the-ghoul.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p>There's a number from <strong>Amazon's Fallout</strong> series that can actually be called, only the person that picks up doesn't send all that pleased to hear from you.</p><p><em>Light spoilers ahead for the Fallout show.</em></p><p>Whenever there's a phone number clearly shown in a piece of media, the first question should always be "does anything happen when you call this number?" A lot of the time it won't lead to anything, as they're often fake, but sometimes production companies will set it up so that when you call the number you're met with a fun, in-world message. For example, actually calling Saul Goodman's number from Breaking Bad will net you a fake message from his office, which is a fun one.

Sometimes things might just not translate, you know, no matter how many <a href="/fallout-tv-show-potential-classic-fallout-reference-improv">little homages to the games that inspired the series</a> or <a href="/fallout-tv-show-vault-maps-analysis">fun maps</a> you might be able to sprinkle in.</p><p>Responding to a post about the idea of a Fallout-style TV shows being made about other games (thanks, <a href="https://www.thegamer.com/dragon-age-lead-writer-fallout-like-tv-adaptation-terrible-idea/">TheGamer</a>), David Gaider, who formerly served as the lead writer on the Dragon Age series while working at Bioware, tweeted that he thinks a Dragon Age show would be "a terrible idea".</p> <p><a href="/dragon-age-writer-fallout-tv-show-animal-crossing?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Arrowhead knows how "ridiculous" Helldivers 2's fire damage is, working on a fix</title><link>/arrowhead-working-on-a-fix-for-helldivers-2-fire-damage?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Oisin Kuhnke</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 15 Apr 2024 11:08:31 +0000</pubDate><guid>/arrowhead-working-on-a-fix-for-helldivers-2-fire-damage?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Helldivers 2</category><category>Single Player</category><category>Shooter: Third Person</category><category>PC</category><category>Third person</category><category>Multiplayer Competitive</category><category>Arrowhead Game Studios</category><category>Multiplayer Cooperative</category><category>Shooter</category><category>PS5</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/helldivers-2-screenshot_jN2e7j8.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/helldivers-2-screenshot_jN2e7j8.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p><strong>Helldivers 2</strong> players are getting frustrated by the game's overly zealous fire damage, but developer Arrowhead has promised a fix is in the works.</p><p>Earlier this month, as part of Helldivers 2's update that <a href="/helldivers-2-new-patch-balancing-tweaks-blizzards-sandstorms">added in blizzards and sandstorms</a>, the damage that fire caused also received a tweak. However, this particular tweak hasn't been well-received, as it's essentially causing players to die from fire damage in just seconds, which unsurprisingly <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1bwb9d6/the_fire_damage_after_the_update_is_just_stupid/?utm_source=embedv2&utm_medium=post_embed&utm_content=post_title&embed_host_url=https://www.gamesradar.com/not-even-a-week-since-helldivers-2s-latest-balance-patch-players-are-already-sick-of-burn-damage-being-an-instakill-death-sentence/">annoyed a lot of players</a>. Thankfully, it seems like a change is on the way, as in the game's official Discord, community manager Thomas 'Twinbeard' Petersson has assured players that the team is working on making fire not so overwhelming (thanks, <a href="https://www.pcgamesn.com/helldivers-2/fire-nerf">PCGamesN</a>).</p><p>"We're going through 'fire as a whole' at the moment," wrote Petersson in response to one Discord user. "The works - DPS, DOT, the host thingie, not dying in two seconds from just touching it etc. Probably introducing fixes in parts, but we're on it like Donkey Kong on barrels!" In a separate message to another user, Petersson went on to acknowledge how the fire damage is "ridiculous" writing that it's "at least wrong and something we’re changing… It's an elaborate process, so we’re doing it in parts.

Both The Last of Us and Fallout have proven successful on the games front, and One Piece was a massive hit for Netflix too. Anime is obviously massively popular these days, and while One Punch Man isn't on people's minds as much as it used to be (even if <a href="/everything-we-know-about-one-punch-man-season-3">season 3 is finally on the way</a>), it's still getting a live-action adaptation from Justin Lin, the very same director that's <a href="/spider-man-4-disney-eyeing-up-fast-and-furious-director">being eyed up for Spider-Man 4</a>. Now, according to <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/justin-lin-direct-crime-thriller-stakehorse-amazon-mgm-1235873002/">The Hollywood Reporter</a>, Lin's One Punch Man film is getting a rewrite - from Rick and Morty co-creator Dan Harmon, and writer on the animated series Heather Anne Campbell no less.</p><p>Lin makes sense as a choice to handle a live-action One Punch Man film, given his experience with blockbusters like Star Trek Beyond and multiple Fast & Furious films, though I'd have to assume Harmon and Campbell's involvement is mostly due to their history of working on comedy animated series. It would actually be a reunion of sorts for Harmon and Lin, though, as the filmmaker did actually direct a few episodes of Community, which Harmon also created.</p> <p><a href="/sony-live-action-one-punch-man-rewrite-from-rick-and-morty-co-creator?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>The Fallout TV show's got a big vault map, and it's now been turned into an interactive Google Earth overlay</title><link>/fallout-tv-show-vault-maps-analysis?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Mark Warren</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 15 Apr 2024 09:35:40 +0000</pubDate><guid>/fallout-tv-show-vault-maps-analysis?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Fallout</category><category>Single Player</category><category>RPG</category><category>Pop Culture</category><category>PC</category><category>Strategy: Turn-Based Strategy</category><category>Bird view / Isometric</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/fallout-tv-show-vault-maps-analysis-01.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/fallout-tv-show-vault-maps-analysis-01.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p><strong>Warning: Spoilers for series one of Amazon's Fallout TV show lie ahead.</strong></p><p>So, unless you delibrately taking this slowly or have been really busy, odds are you've had a chance to sit down and watch Amazon's <a href="/tv-shows/fallout">Fallout TV show</a> by this point.

So, it should come as no surprise that players would get a hankering for the games too, which is exactly what happened. In fact, at least according to SteamDB stats, players returned to all of the Fallout games in droves, though some admittedly more than others. <a href="https://steamdb.info/app/377160/charts/#1w">Fallout 4</a> saw the most players in game over the weekend, hitting a player count peak of 83,491 on Sunday - bear in mind a week earlier the game's player count peak was at around 24,000, so it's more than tripled its player count following the release of the show last week.</p><p>It's <a href="https://steamdb.info/app/1151340/charts/">Fallout 76</a> that took home a new record this weekend, though, a game you should <a href="/after-fallout-series-fallout-76-worth-your-time">absolutely hop onto now you've finished the show</a>. The multiplayer take on the classic RPG franchise actually achieved an all-time high concurrent player count, hitting 39,455 players all in the game at once on Sunday. Not bad for a game that was received quite poorly at launch, but clearly people wanted to rebuild the wasteland with their friends thanks to the show. <a href="https://steamdb.info/app/22380/charts/">Fallout: New Vegas</a> is doing well for itself too, though not quite as well as 76 or 4, but it did manage to hit a peak of 19,505 players.</p> <p><a href="/everybody-is-playing-fallout-4-new-vegas-thanks-to-amazon-fallout?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Final Fantasy 7 Remake part 3 might be out sooner than you'd think</title><link>/final-fantasy-7-remake-part-3-could-be-out-sooner-than-you-thought?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Oisin Kuhnke</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 14 Apr 2024 15:26:26 +0000</pubDate><guid>/final-fantasy-7-remake-part-3-could-be-out-sooner-than-you-thought?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Final Fantasy VII Rebirth</category><category>Single Player</category><category>Action Adventure</category><category>RPG</category><category>Third person</category><category>Square Enix</category><category>PS5</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/final-fantasy-7-rebirth-girls-night.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/final-fantasy-7-rebirth-girls-night.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p><strong>Square Enix's Final Fantasy 7 Remake</strong> project has one more entry on the way, and it might not take as long to make as you might think.</p><p>These days, we're lucky if we get a sequel to a game once every four or five years, with development times and budgets ballooning in recent years. Final Fantasy 7 Remake took a good five years to come out after it was announced, and Rebirth released a full four years after that. But, according to the most recent Final Fantasy 7 Ultimania, it appears that we won't have to wait quite as long for the third part, whatever it might be called. Twitter user Audrey recently translated some excerpts from the Ultimania, stating that the game's producer Yoshinori Kitase mentioned that "Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was actually done within three years since about one year was developing the DLC, and he hopes to be able to stick with that schedule for Part 3 too" (in Audrey's own words).</p><p>That would mean the next part would be released some time in 2027, which isn't too long of a development period overall. Presumably Square Enix will use the same open world map again, with some additions that haven't appeared in the remake just yet, but of course we'll have to wait and see. The Golden Saucer in Rebirth did tease a snowboarding mini-game, and the original game famously has Cloud taking part in the sport literally right after that famous, spoilerific Aerith scene, so presumably we'll be able to head back there.</p> <p><a href="/final-fantasy-7-remake-part-3-could-be-out-sooner-than-you-thought?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>EA's Black Panther game might be open world, according to a recent job listing</title><link>/ea-black-panther-game-might-be-open-world?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Oisin Kuhnke</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 14 Apr 2024 15:04:16 +0000</pubDate><guid>/ea-black-panther-game-might-be-open-world?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Konami</category><category>Arcade</category><category>Single Player</category><category>Side view</category><category>Platformer</category><category>Black Panther</category><category>Hack & Slash</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/marvels-avengers-black-panther.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/marvels-avengers-black-panther.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p><strong>EA's</strong> upcoming <strong>Black Panther</strong> game sounds like it will be an open world title, based on a recently posted job listing.</p><p>Right now, we know pretty much nothing about EA and Cliffhanger Games' Black Panther game. We know that <a href="/ea-marvel-games-announces-black-panther-game">it exists</a>, that Cliffhanger Games is a new team led by Kevin Stephens, the former studio head at Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor developer Monolith Productions, and that it has nothing to do with the Captain America and Black Panther game set in the 40s'. But as spotted by <a href="https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/eas-black-panther-game-will-be-open-world-job-ad-suggests/">VGC</a>, a recent <a href="https://ea.gr8people.com/jobs/183834/principal-sandbox-designer?locale=en">job listing</a> for a principal sandbox designer at Cliffhanger Games appears to be suggesting that it will be an open world game.</p><p>"Reporting to the Design Manager, the Sr. Technical Designer Sandbox will be instrumental in designing and populating encounters, systems, and gameplay within a dynamic and evolving open world," reads the listing's description of the job role. It goes on to note that a successful candidates responsibilities would include needing to "design, prototype, and implement AI systems, encounters, and gameplay mechanics that contribute to a rich, sandbox environment," and that they would "work closely with the AI engineering team to create sophisticated AI behaviours that enhance the open-world experience, from urban crowds to wildlife ecosystems."</p> <p><a href="/ea-black-panther-game-might-be-open-world?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Content Warning proves you can give away a game for free and still make people want to buy it as it hits 1 million copies sold</title><link>/content-warning-hits-1-million-copies-sold?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Oisin Kuhnke</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 14 Apr 2024 14:08:23 +0000</pubDate><guid>/content-warning-hits-1-million-copies-sold?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Content Warning</category><category>PC</category><category>Indie</category><category>Horror</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/content-warning-1-million-copies-sold.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/content-warning-1-million-copies-sold.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p>Turns out that you can give away a game to 6.6 million people, and still sell a ton of copies too, as that's exactly what <strong>Landfall</strong> has done with <strong>Content Warning</strong>.</p><p>Right at the start of the month, <a href="/content-warning-takes-internet-by-storm-free-on-steam">Landfall released Content Warning</a>, a Lethal Company style game about filming your friends getting killed by cryptids, as a sort of April Fool's day bit. The best part was that it was completely free for an entire day, and that resulted in 6.6 million players picking it up. A number like that shows you how ridiculously popular the game quickly became, and now as shared by Landfall on Twitter, it seems that popularity has shown no sign of slowing down, as the game has managed to sell a further one million copies on top of having given it away for free.</p><p>That means a whole bunch of people were happy to pay for the game, which is surely a good sign for the game's future. Sure, you can have a viral hit if you're an established developer known for their funny games, but you still need to be able to make money, and it seems like Landfall will be fine in that department. The game was only made in a matter of months, and while it isn't quite as fleshed out as Lethal Company is just yet, Landfall did also promise that it has some fun updates (and fixes) on the way.</p> <p><a href="/content-warning-hits-1-million-copies-sold?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Done watching the Fallout series?

Has it succeeded? I'd say it's been in pretty good shape for around three years or so now. In fact, I already rambled about <a href="/starfield-understand-fallout-76-not-fallout-4-skyrim" target="_blank">how you should've played it ahead of Starfield</a> last year. Now, with the <a href="/fallout-tv-show-series-review" target="_blank">shockingly great Fallout series</a> out in the wild, perhaps it's the perfect time to either jump into it for the first time or return and see what's changed.</p><p>It turns out that things in Appalachia have been so good in recent times <a href="/fallout-76-fifth-birthday-bash-sheogorath-in-attendance" target="_blank">the game's fifth birthday</a> even had Sheogorath himself, Wes Johnson, in attendance. The massive game continues to receive <a href="https://bethesda.net/en/article/324cSXFmXRtRfreAJMDn0J/fallout-76-atlantic-city-boardwalk-paradise-update-notes" target="_blank">new content</a>, seasons, and sizable updates that keep tinkering with an online RPG which launched as <a href="/games/rust" target="_blank">Rust</a> but Fallout (and bad). By now, some Fallout diehards would even claim that it's better than a few of <a href="/fallout-tv-show-replay-fallout-new-vegas-ultimate-dating-sim-with-nukes" target="_blank">the single-player installments</a>.</p><p>So, what happened exactly? I'd say the biggest leap forward was made in spring 2020, right in the middle of the Covid pandemic. That's when the <a href="https://bethesda.net/en/article/2asdca6YRz43ctgyo0o2d3/fallout-76-wastelanders-update-notes-april-14-2020" target="_blank">Wastelanders update</a> arrived, reworking the already functional game into the 'Fallout but online' RPG that wasn't delivered at launch. You know, something with a traditional main questline, human NPCs, factions, a dialogue system, etc. The game changed overnight, and new players started coming in.</p> <p><a href="/after-fallout-series-fallout-76-worth-your-time?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Persona 1 and 2 are getting remakes, or at least an "updated form," a prominent Atlus leaker has claimed</title><link>/persona-1-and-2-are-getting-remakes-leaker-claims?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Oisin Kuhnke</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 14 Apr 2024 13:37:10 +0000</pubDate><guid>/persona-1-and-2-are-getting-remakes-leaker-claims?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Bird view / Isometric</category><category>Persona 2: Innocent Sin</category><category>Single Player</category><category>Atlus</category><category>PSP</category><category>Ghostlight</category><category>RPG</category><category>Atlus USA</category><category>First person</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/persona-2-art.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/persona-2-art.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p>It seems like remakes of the first two <strong>Persona</strong> games could be on the way, though they might not be outright remakes.</p><p>There's been a number of prominent leakers over the years, but more recently the one with the most consistent track record appears to be one that goes by the name Midori. She accurately reported on the Sonic Fall Guys clone before it was <a href="/sonic-fall-guys-clone-leak-looks-pretty-good">properly leaked last month</a>, and she also shared that Persona 3 Reload would be getting The Answer as DLC before that was officially revealed, as well as other details to do with Atlus and Sega games. Now, responding to a user on Twitter about hypothetical remakes, Midori said "Yes. [Persona 1] and [Persona 2] are going to receive remakes too."</p><p>Another user then responded to her on Twitter hoping she meant full on remakes as opposed to remasters, prompting Midori to respond, "To be safe, I will call it updated form for right now." So, yes, they could be getting remakes, but don't necessarily expect them to be as full on as Persona 3 Reload. Whatever form they might take, the only question I have about them is how the hell are they going to handle the character Fuhrer who literally just looks like Adolf Hitler from Persona 2 (and no, this isn't a joke).</p> <p><a href="/persona-1-and-2-are-getting-remakes-leaker-claims?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Former Blizzard president thinks you should be able to leave a tip after beating $70 games, but my 10 years in the hospitality industry knows that's an awful idea</title><link>/former-blizzard-president-thinks-you-should-be-able-to-leave-developers-tips?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Oisin Kuhnke</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 14 Apr 2024 11:10:25 +0000</pubDate><guid>/former-blizzard-president-thinks-you-should-be-able-to-leave-developers-tips?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>PS5</category><category>PC</category><category>Xbox Series X/S</category><category>Blizzard</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/elden-ring-colosseum-update.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/elden-ring-colosseum-update.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p>Mike Ybarra, former president of <strong>Blizzard</strong>, has some up with the slightly baffling idea that players should be able to tip developers after beating $70 games.</p><p>In today's episode of "how do we let these people run massive companies," the now former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra, <a href="/activision-blizzard-cancels-survival-game-as-mike-ybarra-and-allen-adham-leave-the-company">who left the company back in January</a>, has suggested introducing a tipping system into video games. "I've thought about this idea for a while, as a player, since I've been diving into single player games lately," wrote Ybarra on Twitter. "When I beat a game, there are some that just leave me in awe of how amazing the experience was. At the end of the game, I've often thought 'I wish I could give these folks another $10 or $20 because it was worth more than my initial $70 and they didn't try to nickel and dime me every second.'</p><p>"Games like [Horizon Zero Dawn, God of War, Red Dead Redemption 2, Baldur's Gate 3], Elden Ring, etc. I know $70 is already a lot, but it's an option at the end of the game I wish I had at times. Some games are that special. I know most will dislike this idea… I realise we are tired of 'tipping' in everything else - but I view this different from a pressure to tip type scenario many face and give feedback on."</p> <p><a href="/former-blizzard-president-thinks-you-should-be-able-to-leave-developers-tips?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Discord is seemingly banning Nintendo Switch emulator devs following Yuzu's shutdown</title><link>/discord-seemingly-banning-nintendo-switch-emulator-devs?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Oisin Kuhnke</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 14 Apr 2024 10:40:24 +0000</pubDate><guid>/discord-seemingly-banning-nintendo-switch-emulator-devs?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Nintendo</category><category>Nintendo Switch</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/tears-of-the-kingdom-box-art.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/tears-of-the-kingdom-box-art.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p>After <strong>Nintendo</strong> essentially had the Switch emulator Yuzu shut down last month, Discord is seemingly banning creators of other emulators and their servers.</p><p>Last month, Nintendo and the creator of Yuzu, an emulator specifically for Switch games, <a href="/nintendo-yuzu-settle-lawsuit-emulator-shut-down">settled the former's lawsuit</a> with the latter agreeing to pay $2.4 million in "monetary relief." As a result, you can no longer easily download Yuzu, making Switch emulation much less accessible, and it set a precedent for future emulator developers - one that essentially says "try to do this, and you'll be a whole lot poorer." Now, as reported by <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/11/24127545/discord-suyu-sudachi-server-shutdown-account-ban">The Verge</a>, it appears that Discord is taking action against other Switch emulators by outright banning the creators of Suyu and Sudachi, two new emulators that are based on Yuzu.</p><p>According to a statement from Discord's director of product communications Kellyn Slone provided to The Verge, "Discord responds to and complies with all legal and valid Digital Millennium Copyright Act requests. In this instance, there was also a court ordered injunction for the takedown of these materials, and we took action in a manner consistent with the court order."</p> <p><a href="/discord-seemingly-banning-nintendo-switch-emulator-devs?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's annoying final boss retry menu has been fixed, so no one has to waste their time like I did</title><link>/final-fantasy-7-rebirth-final-boss-retry-menu-has-been-fixed?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Oisin Kuhnke</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 14 Apr 2024 09:56:07 +0000</pubDate><guid>/final-fantasy-7-rebirth-final-boss-retry-menu-has-been-fixed?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Final Fantasy VII Rebirth</category><category>Single Player</category><category>Action Adventure</category><category>RPG</category><category>Third person</category><category>Square Enix</category><category>PS5</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/final-fantasy-7-rebirth-(24).png?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/final-fantasy-7-rebirth-(24).png?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p><strong>Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth</strong> has received a small patch fixing the menu for the final boss' death screen, and I am overwhelmed with joy and jealousy.</p><p><em>Slight spoilers ahead for the final boss of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.</em></p><p>It's a bit of a staple for a Final Fantasy game to have a multi-phase final boss fight, each with their own unique attack patterns and annoyances. That's all well and good, and with Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth I didn't have all that much trouble. Except, on the very last phase of the final boss, even though I was maybe two hits away from winning, it got me with a one-hit-KO move.

However, some story beats have left certain fans wondering if the beloved and Obsidian-developed New Vegas is still canon. It's somewhat understandable as the show doesn't make it the clearest just when it's set, and there is a moment that I won't spoil (it's not even been a week, we can hold off on spoilers) that at first glance seems it might have radically changed the canon of New Vegas.</p><p>If you're a New Vegas lover, though, you don't have all that much to worry about. Bethesda design director Emil Pagliarulo was asked pretty directly by a fan on Twitter whether the RPG was canon or not, with the developer responding quite plainly "Of course it is. We've never suggested otherwise." In fact, Pagliarulo even <a href="https://twitter.com/Dezinuh/status/1778470928105533825">outlined the key dates</a> of when each of the games are set, and the show is set furthest in the future. New Vegas is set in 2281, but the show is set a ful 15 years later in 2296, meaning anything that might have happened in that time should make sense.</p> <p><a href="/fallout-new-vegas-is-still-canon?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>The good, the bad, and John the fire dancer - as Fallout gets a TV show, here's how the series' community is doing</title><link>/fallout-tv-show-fallout-community-feature?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Mark Warren</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 12 Apr 2024 16:03:17 +0000</pubDate><guid>/fallout-tv-show-fallout-community-feature?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Fallout</category><category>Fallout 2</category><category>Bird view / Isometric</category><category>Xbox One</category><category>Bethesda Game Studios</category><category>Pop Culture</category><category>RPG</category><category>Third person</category><category>PS4</category><category>PS3</category><category>Fallout 76</category><category>Single Player</category><category>Action Adventure</category><category>Fallout 3</category><category>Xbox 360</category><category>Fallout 4</category><category>PC</category><category>Multiplayer Competitive</category><category>First person</category><category>Multiplayer Cooperative</category><category>Strategy: Turn-Based Strategy</category><category>The Elder Scrolls VI</category><category>Bethesda Softworks</category><category>Shooter</category><category>MMORPG</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/fallout-tv-show-fallout-community-feature-01.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/fallout-tv-show-fallout-community-feature-01.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p>“When I think of the fanbase, I do think of those early days when we first announced <a href="/games/fallout-3">Fallout 3</a>,” ex-Bethesda artist <a href="/fallout-5-fallout-4-deathclaw-pitch">Jonah Lobe</a> tells me, “We got a lot of hate."</p><p>“A lot of those older players felt protective of the franchise - which I can certainly understand, as the IP is immensely unique and special - and some of that translated into hate mail and even death threats, prompting Bethesda to hire its first security guard,” he continues, “So yeah, certainly a passionate fanbase.</p><p>“Joking aside, Fallout fans really care about Fallout.

In fact, one of them, <a href="/games/fallout">original Fallout</a> co-creator Tim Cain, might have spotted a reference to that first game in the series that seemingly wasn't even explicity planned by the showrunners.</p><p>Yep, amid the array of really interesting sets and dialogue exchanges you really should be paying attention to, the show might well have ended up with some little homages to the games that inspired it which weren't in the script.

Since it's <a href="/fallout-4-next-gen-update">set to drop on April 25</a>, just two days after <a href="/games/fallout-london">Fallout: London's</a> release on April 23, one of the big questions right away was how the update might affect the massive mod. Well, the good news is, it looks like Team FOLON already has a plan.</p><p>If you're unfamiliar with Fallout: London, it's a full conversion mod for Fallout 4 that's set to let us explore a post-apocalytic version of the English capital, complete with fresh factions and quests, later this month. We've been <a href="/fallout-london-update-video-baldurs-gate-3-voice-actor">getting regular updates from the team behind it</a> over the past couple of years, including <a href="/fallout-london-mod-showcase-c3">one as part of modding showcase C3 back in February</a> - which actually saw Team FOLON acknowledge that a situation exactly like this with the next-gen update could well come to pass.</p><p>Since it now has, Fallout: London's project lead, Dean 'Prilladog' Carter, has put out a statement via the mod's Discord server, outlining what the group's plan of action is. "As some of you may have noticed, Bethesda is scheduled to release an update to Fallout 4 just two days after our intended release date," he wrote, "We are actively monitoring the situation closely.</p> <p><a href="/fallout-4-next-gen-update-will-affect-fallout-london-but-team-already-has-plan?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Yup, Fallout is the final push that video game adaptations needed to become Hollywood's next big thing</title><link>/fallout-means-video-game-adaptations-are-next-big-hollywood-thing?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Fran Ruiz</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 11 Apr 2024 17:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/fallout-means-video-game-adaptations-are-next-big-hollywood-thing?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Fallout</category><category>Xbox One</category><category>The Last of Us</category><category>Bethesda Game Studios</category><category>Pop Culture</category><category>RPG</category><category>Third person</category><category>PS4</category><category>Single Player</category><category>Action Adventure</category><category>Fallout 4</category><category>Amazon MGM Studios</category><category>Naughty Dog</category><category>PC</category><category>PlayStation Productions</category><category>TV</category><category>The Last of Us Part I</category><category>HBO</category><category>Blockbuster</category><category>Bethesda Softworks</category><category>Shooter</category><category>First person</category><category>PS5</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/Fallout_TV_show_Vault.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/Fallout_TV_show_Vault.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p>With <a href="/marvel-studios-moving-away-from-avengers-the-kang-dynasty" target="_blank">comic book projects self-regulating</a> and becoming <em>just another genre</em> (with some exceptions), <a href="/godzilla-x-kong-the-new-empire-review" target="_blank">monster brawls</a> becoming a thing in the West, and star-studded originals regaining lost ground, the post-pandemic Hollywood landscape, both in theaters and on TV, looks nothing like the pre-2020 tug-of-war. There's always a big thing, however, and now, after <a href="/fallout-tv-show-series-review" target="_blank">Fallout's success</a>, it's all but confirmed that video game adaptations are next in line.</p><p><a href="/tv-shows/fallout" target="_blank">Fallout</a> is just the last big hit in a short but remarkable line of good endings that include Illumination's <a href="/the-super-mario-bros-movie-gets-a-sequel" target="_blank">Super Mario Bros.

Even if critics don't always agree with audiences and we still have middling stuff like the <a href="/helmet-less-master-chief-halo-pablo-schreiber" target="_blank">Halo show</a>, there's been a previously unseen upwards trajectory as of late, and we can't deny the signs anymore. This is what Hollywood will be chasing next.</p><p>Part of what's making these adaptations work better now than in the past is a more hands-on approach from games publishers and studios. Long gone are the days of just giving a juicy IP away and letting the highest bidder go wild with it, though stuff like <a href="/uncharted-2-script-in-development-mark-whalberg" target="_blank">Uncharted</a> made us frankly wonder whether Sony truly understands what made the famous video game franchise so appealing in the first place.</p> <p><a href="/fallout-means-video-game-adaptations-are-next-big-hollywood-thing?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Wahey, Fallout 4's next-gen update is finally set to arrive later this month</title><link>/fallout-4-next-gen-update?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Mark Warren</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 11 Apr 2024 16:01:03 +0000</pubDate><guid>/fallout-4-next-gen-update?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Xbox One</category><category>Single Player</category><category>Fallout 4</category><category>Bethesda Game Studios</category><category>RPG</category><category>PC</category><category>Bethesda Softworks</category><category>Third person</category><category>PS4</category><category>Shooter</category><category>First person</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/fallout-4-next-gen-update-01.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/fallout-4-next-gen-update-01.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p>Boo! After eons of silence, Bethesda has finally provided us with an update on <a href="/games/fallout-4">Fallout 4</a>'s long-awaited next-gen update. It's coming later this month on April 25, an it's got some stuff in it, which I'll explain below.</p><p>As outlined in a <a href="https://fallout.bethesda.net/en/article/4s2bXQEbpcrsdCZhUYLHAi/fallout-4-is-getting-free-updates?linkId=100000254670482">new blog post</a>, the update is actually coming as serveal versions, all aimed at different platforms. So, wherever you're playing Fallout 4, you should be in line to benefit from your own bunch of tweaks, as well as some free Creation Club goodies. Though, sadly, the update's timing means it'll land pretty close to <a href="/games/fallout-london">Fallout: London</a>'s release on April 23, so we'll have to see if that has any repercussions for the massive mod.</p><p>For next-gen consoles, that's PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, the update will include native applications for those devices, plus "performance mode and Quality mode settings, as well as stability improvements and fixes." Those on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will just get "stability improvements, login and quest fixes".</p> <p><a href="/fallout-4-next-gen-update?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Stellar Blade’s combat takes a lot from Sekiro, so why does it feel different?</title><link>/stellar-blade-faint-sekiro-resemblance-action-combat?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Sherif Saed</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 11 Apr 2024 16:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stellar-blade-faint-sekiro-resemblance-action-combat?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Sony Interactive Entertainment</category><category>Stellar Blade</category><category>Xbox One</category><category>Single Player</category><category>Indie</category><category>FromSoftware</category><category>Action Adventure</category><category>Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice</category><category>Activision</category><category>RPG</category><category>PC</category><category>RPG: Action</category><category>RPG: Hack & Slash</category><category>PS4</category><category>PS5</category><category>Third person</category><category>Shift Up Corporation</category><category>Hack & Slash</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/stellar-blade-sekiro-1-(Copy).jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/stellar-blade-sekiro-1-(Copy).jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p>I know <em>exactly</em> what you’re thinking after reading this headline. Why would you go into one game expecting it to play like some other one you like? After all, it doesn’t make sense to burden it with the expectations we have from playing another, especially if it never explicitly positioned itself as a spiritual successor or anything.</p><p>Something about <a href="/games/stellar-blade">Stellar Blade</a> - the upcoming PS5 action RPG from developer Shift Up, however, always gave me <a href="/games/sekiro-shadows-die-twice">Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice</a> vibes, and I’d wager it has a lot to do with its parry-heavy combat. So I couldn’t help but get into the Stellar Blade demo with that mindset.</p><p></p> <p><a href="/stellar-blade-faint-sekiro-resemblance-action-combat?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Is an Elder Scrolls TV show going to follow Fallout?

At that premiere, snazzily dressed Todd Howard said some things, and some of these things were about the potential idea of an Elder Scrolls adaptation. When it comes to such a thing, it sounds like Howard's plan is - simply put - to keep on being picky.</p><p>Yup, picky, but in what should be a good way. After all, if someone's going to turn the Lusty Argonian Maid into the blockbuster hit of summer 2034, we need to make sure they understand what the political climate of Morrowind was like when Crassius Curio wrote the damn thing.</p><p>Speaking to <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/todd-howard-on-other-bethesda-adaptations-after-fallout-ill-probably-say-no-but-you-never-know">IGN</a> on the red carpet, Howard was asked about the idea of other Bethesda IPs potentially getting the adaptation treatment, be that a TV show like Fallout or something else.

Arrowhead's just dropped some nice new ship module upgrades for you to contemplate purchasing and ultimately chicken out because you're too stingy. Seriously, these are aimed at hardened vets looking to take their craft to the next level, so you'll have to fork over a lot in order to...erm...make your crew expert box packers.</p><p>If you're out of the loop, <a href="/new-helldivers-2-warbond-arrives-next-week-includes-explosive-crossbow">today's the day that the Democratic Detonation Warbond actually arrives in-game</a> to help you continue to <a href="/helldivers-2-automatons-back-platinum-trophy">battle the automaton invasion force</a>, provided you can avoid accidentally blowing yourself up with the new crossbow. Alongside that, these ship upgrades have arrived, and they're just like taking a trip to space IKEA (other furniture shops are available).</p><p>As announced by community manager Baskinator on game's official Discord server, these modules are a part of the Super Destroyer Fleet Upgrade that's just been deployed, which lets you grab some level four revamps for the different sections of your ship. As you might expect given they're level four, they do slightly more than just add some of those throws and blankets that your mum likes to the sofas and cost a fair amount.</p> <p><a href="/helldivers-2-new-ship-module-upgrades-pay-lot-teach-crew-pack-boxes?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Five Nights at Freddy's 2 locked in at Universal, will likely dominate Halloween 2025 regardless of quality</title><link>/five-nights-at-freddys-2-in-the-works-at-universal-and-blumhouse?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Fran Ruiz</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 11 Apr 2024 11:39:45 +0000</pubDate><guid>/five-nights-at-freddys-2-in-the-works-at-universal-and-blumhouse?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Universal Pictures</category><category>Point and Click</category><category>Blockbuster</category><category>Movies</category><category>Indie</category><category>Simulation</category><category>Single Player</category><category>Action Adventure</category><category>Five Nights at Freddy's</category><category>Strategy</category><category>Blumhouse</category><category>Pop Culture</category><category>PC</category><category>Five Nights At Freddy's</category><category>First person</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/FNAF_movie_Freddy_group.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/FNAF_movie_Freddy_group.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p>Blumhouse Productions is rather busy at the moment and looking at the future with big bets such as <a href="/new-blair-witch-movie-announced" target="_blank">a new Blair Witch movie</a> and Todd McFarlane's <a href="/todd-mcfarlane-spawn-movie-reboot-2024-update" target="_blank">long-in-the-works Spawn reboot</a>.

Monopoly, which sounds like a much harder sell in today's climate.</p><p>Via <a href="https://variety.com/2024/film/news/monopoly-movie-margot-robbie-lionsgate-1235966163/" target="_blank">Variety</a>, we learned on April 10 that Robbie's production company LuckyChap will be producing "a live-action feature film based on the ubiquitous real estate-inspired board game" alongside Lionsgate. Hasbro Entertainment, of course, will be involved in the adaptation effort.</p><p>The idea of an adaptation of Monopoly has been floating around for a while now if you can remember, and in late 2023, <a href="/new-blair-witch-movie-announced" target="_blank">Lionsgate</a> extended its development rights to the board game with its purchase of eOne (previously owned by Hasbro). To the surprise of no one, Monopoly remains one of the world's most popular board games, receiving countless iterations over the years, spin-off products, merchandising, and highly successful video games such as <a href="/monopoly-go-dice-links" target="_blank">Monopoly Go!</a> on mobile. In fact, Monopoly has been around since 1935, which is a shocking fact for anyone who's not really into board game history.</p> <p><a href="/margot-robbie-to-produce-monopoly-movie?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Dead Space appears to be dead... again</title><link>/dead-space-reportedly-dead-again?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Mark Warren</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 11 Apr 2024 10:36:03 +0000</pubDate><guid>/dead-space-reportedly-dead-again?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Dead Space (remake)</category><category>iOS</category><category>EA Mobile</category><category>Xbox Series X/S</category><category>Single Player</category><category>Dead Space</category><category>Xbox 360</category><category>PC</category><category>Third person</category><category>Shooter</category><category>Electronic Arts</category><category>PS5</category><category>PS3</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/dead-space-reportedly-dead-again-01.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/dead-space-reportedly-dead-again-01.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p>Brace yourself. <a href="/games/dead-space">Dead Space</a>, well, it appears to be dead again. Yep, EA's reportedly put the series "on hold" for the second time, though, it does at least seem like some ideas for a new entry were briefly considered early last year, though none of them were actually given permission to become a thing.</p><p>This news follows a chain of events which began with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9n-tCxMxmQA">Giant Bomb's Jeff Grubb</a> reporting that a Dead Space 2 remake was in development, before being canceled. EA quickly responded to that, sending a statement to <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/ea-shoots-down-dead-space-2-remake-rumors-no-validity-to-this-story">IGN</a> which said "We don't normally comment on rumours, but there is no validity to this story." Now, following some digging, it seems that the remake was one of a couple of ideas that were briefly explored, before EA opted to put the series on pause.</p><p>That last part's according to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-10/-dead-space-franchise-is-officially-on-hold-at-electronic-arts">Bloomberg's Jason Schreier</a>, who's reported that EA elected to put Dead Space back on hiatus "as early as last spring", with any desires from developers to make a new entry apparently being "derailed after sales of the remake missed the company’s expectations".</p> <p><a href="/dead-space-reportedly-dead-again?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>A new Blair Witch movie is coming, because it's easy horror money waiting to be made</title><link>/new-blair-witch-movie-announced?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Fran Ruiz</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 11 Apr 2024 10:12:41 +0000</pubDate><guid>/new-blair-witch-movie-announced?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Blockbuster</category><category>Movies</category><category>The Blair Witch Project</category><category>Lionsgate</category><category>Blumhouse</category><category>Pop Culture</category><category>Horror</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/The-Blair-Witch-Project_screencap.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/The-Blair-Witch-Project_screencap.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p><a href="/todd-mcfarlane-spawn-movie-reboot-2024-update" target="_blank">Blumhouse</a> is one of the busiest Hollywood studios at the moment, and it all comes down to its approach to keeping budgets under control and always being open to surprising collaborations. This has allowed the studio to reimagine a number of iconic horror properties, and The Blair Witch series might be next in line.</p><p>On April 10, it was announced that Blumhouse and Lionsgate would team up to make a new Blair Witch movie, the first since 2016's follow-up directed by <a href="/godzilla-x-kong-the-new-empire-review" target="_blank">Godzilla x Kong</a>'s Adam Wingard. According to <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/new-blair-witch-movie-lionsgate-blumhouse-1235870973/" target="_blank">The Hollywood Reporter</a>, it marks the beginning of "a multifilm deal between the studios that will see Blumhouse reimagine horror classics from Lionsgate."</p><p>The news arrives after Imaginary (released in early March), a collaboration with Lionsgate, made $38 million worldwide on a measly production budget of around $10 million and far less spent on marketing. Lionsgate has also been looking to make easy money out of reasonably budgeted movies, whether they're action, horror, or something else, so this new alliance makes sense for both parties.</p> <p><a href="/new-blair-witch-movie-announced?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Mega spoiler warning, Amazon's Fallout TV Show rather unsubtly teases a potential setting for season two</title><link>/fallout-tv-show-teases-potential-season-two-location?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Mark Warren</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 11 Apr 2024 09:12:59 +0000</pubDate><guid>/fallout-tv-show-teases-potential-season-two-location?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Fallout</category><category>iOS</category><category>Bandai Namco Entertainment</category><category>Xbox One</category><category>Apple</category><category>Bethesda Game Studios</category><category>Pop Culture</category><category>RPG</category><category>Third person</category><category>PS4</category><category>PS3</category><category>Single Player</category><category>Xbox 360</category><category>Fallout 4</category><category>PC</category><category>Fallout: New Vegas</category><category>Obsidian Entertainment</category><category>Bethesda Softworks</category><category>Shooter</category><category>First person</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/fallout-tv-show-teases-potential-season-two-location-01.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/fallout-tv-show-teases-potential-season-two-location-01.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p><strong>Warning: Major spoilers for the first series of Amazon's Fallout TV Show lie ahead.</strong></p><p>Ok, so, <a href="/tv-shows/fallout">Amazon's Fallout TV Show</a> is finally here, having dropped either on the evening on April 10, or in the middle of the night early on April 11, depending on where you live.

Original screenwriter Alex Garland and director Danny Boyle are back on board, but surprise, surprise: <strong>They have plans for an entire trilogy of sequels, and Nia DaCosta (Candyman sequel) is circling the second one.</strong></p><p>Yes, it's way better to introduce the filmmaker as Candyman's Nia DaCosta rather than The Marvels' Nia DaCosta, since, uh, Marvel Studios' latest movie wasn't very good and <a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl247366145/" target="_blank">cratered incredibly hard</a> at the box office. On top of script-related issues, the director's touch was nowhere to be seen in the final movie, so we're willing to chalk it up to the studio's recent struggles and mismanagement. Also: her Candyman sequel/reboot of sorts rocked.</p><p>Deadline <a href="https://deadline.com/2024/04/candyman-nia-dacosta-28-years-later-part-2-1235880839/" target="_blank">shared this news</a> on April 10, and while her recruitment sounds very likely, a deal hasn't been closed yet. But you know, this is just the usual, frail Hollywood process of onboarding hot talent. As for the question of why Sony Pictures is already looking at a helmer for the second movie, it's all about lining up DaCosta's vision with Danny Boyle and Alex Garland's as early in the process as possible so they don't end up with a <a href="/daisy-didnt-immediately-say-yes-to-solo-star-wars-film" target="_blank">Star Wars sequels situation</a>.

One of the most notable, the remake of The Crow directed by Rupert Sanders and starring Bill Skarsgård, has had its release date shifted from June 7 to August 23. That obviously won't change people's opinions of the film when it is released, so it isn't exactly clear why the change has been made.</p><p>For those of you that aren't aware, the original 1994 The Crow unfortunately resulted in the death of its lead actor Brandon Lee's death due to an accidental shooting with a prop gun. The film was obviously ultimately finished, using Lee's stunt double as a stand-in for remaining scenes, but understandably left the film with an even sadder undertone than there already was (the main character literally dies and comes back to life as part of the story). This upcoming remake has already proved controversial, as even the original director Alex Proyas <a href="/original-the-crow-director-comments-on-upcoming-remake">doesn't seem very happy about its existence</a>.</p> <p><a href="/the-crow-remake-release-date-delayed?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>If the artist behind Fallout 4's Deathclaws was put in charge of Fallout 5, you'd be fighting a Godzilla-sized Glowing One</title><link>/fallout-5-fallout-4-deathclaw-pitch?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Mark Warren</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 10 Apr 2024 16:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/fallout-5-fallout-4-deathclaw-pitch?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Xbox One</category><category>Xbox Series X/S</category><category>Single Player</category><category>Fallout 4</category><category>Bethesda Game Studios</category><category>RPG</category><category>PC</category><category>Bethesda Softworks</category><category>Third person</category><category>PS4</category><category>Fallout 5</category><category>Shooter</category><category>First person</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/fallout-5-fallout-4-deathclaw-pitch-01.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/fallout-5-fallout-4-deathclaw-pitch-01.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p>What would you like to see from <a href="/games/fallout-5">Fallout 5</a>?

It’s been hit-or-miss for years, to be fair - for every <a href="/games/detective-pikachu">Detective Pikachu</a> there’s an <a href="/movies/assassins-creed">Assassin’s Creed</a>, just as in the 90s <strong>Mortal Kombat</strong> and <strong>Super Mario Bros</strong> released practically side-by-side.</p><p>But the ratio of good-to-bad is shifting; more and more creative houses ‘get it’, and are treating gaming properties with the respect they so richly deserve. It’s a good time to be a fan of video games who is also interested in seeing their favorite characters and worlds replicated in other mediums. </p><p>Let’s cut to the chase. The <a href="/tv-shows/fallout">Fallout TV show</a> is really rather good. It does the two things that it needs to do incredibly well; be satisfying to fans of the games with knowledge of Fallout’s world and lore, and stands alone perfectly well as its own self-enclosed story - a perfect first introduction for Fallout fans.</p> <p><a href="/fallout-tv-show-series-review?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Destiny 2's Final Shape is set to include a new class which lets you achieve "Transcendence" and, er, lob some special grenades</title><link>/destiny-2-final-shape-new-class-prismatic-lets-you-achieve-transcendence-special-grenades?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Mark Warren</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 10 Apr 2024 11:58:41 +0000</pubDate><guid>/destiny-2-final-shape-new-class-prismatic-lets-you-achieve-transcendence-special-grenades?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Xbox One</category><category>RPG</category><category>Third person</category><category>PS4</category><category>Destiny 2</category><category>Destiny 2: The Final Shape</category><category>Activision Blizzard</category><category>Single Player</category><category>Action Adventure</category><category>PC</category><category>Multiplayer Competitive</category><category>Bungie</category><category>Xbox Series X/S</category><category>First person</category><category>Multiplayer Cooperative</category><category>Activision</category><category>Shooter</category><category>MMORPG</category><category>PS5</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/GKvec2hXQAAB8LX.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/GKvec2hXQAAB8LX.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p>Hello there, <a href="/games/destiny-2">Destiny 2</a> people. Bungie's just dropped a huge update on its plans for the game's much-hyped next big expansion, the Final Shape, and there's a lot of stuff to unpack. For example, there's a new sublclass, Prismatic, which looks like it'll basically let you revamp how all of the game's existing classes play, as well as, er, achieve the enlightement required to lob some new grenades. </p><p>Given the <a href="/destiny-2-developer-bungie-hit-by-layoffs">news that came out about Bungie late last year</a> and <a href="/bungie-destiny-2-the-final-shape-and-marathon-reportedly-delayed">the delay Destiny 2’s The Final Shape was hit with</a> as part of all of that, it's fair to say the expansion's got a fair amount riding on it. So, what's the plan? Well, casually letting you achieve "Transcendence" for one. </p><p>If you missed the <a href="https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/article/d2_intothelight_tfs_recap">big gameplay preview</a> coving both stuff that'll be included in The Final Shape and the two month-long Into the Light update that kicked off in the game yesterday, arguably the biggest highight was the former's Prismatic subclass. What is it? Well, as Bugie desribes it: "For the first time, Guardians who harness Prismatic will be able to mix and match Arc, Solar, Void, Stasis, and Strand—combining them to unlock new potential in power and customization."</p> <p><a href="/destiny-2-final-shape-new-class-prismatic-lets-you-achieve-transcendence-special-grenades?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Good news, Haikyu fans: the series' latest movie finally has an international release date</title><link>/haikyu-the-dumpster-battle-finally-has-an-international-release-date?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Oisin Kuhnke</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 10 Apr 2024 11:10:27 +0000</pubDate><guid>/haikyu-the-dumpster-battle-finally-has-an-international-release-date?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Film & Television</category><category>Pop Culture</category><category>Anime</category><category>Crunchyroll</category><category>Haikyu!!</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/haikyu-the-dumpster-battle-poster.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/haikyu-the-dumpster-battle-poster.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p>If you're a <strong>Haikyu</strong> fan that's been eagerly awaiting an international release for The Dumpster Battle, you'll be happy to hear Crunchyroll has finally confirmed one.</p><p>Fans of the volleyball sports anime Haikyu in Japan were able to watch the latest film back in February, but up until now there's been no word of an international release.

The game's developers, though, look to have a plan to sort it permanently.</p><p>Taking to the game's official Discord server, community manager Twinbeard provided an update for those still yet to recieve some of their spoils from recent campaigns. "Medals for two of the latest three major orders have now been shipped," the write, adding that the last batches should drop some time today, April 10.</p> <p><a href="/helldivers-2-reward-system-overhauled-soon-some-automaton-battle-plans-arent-medal-worthy?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>HBO can't find its footing with Game of Thrones as another spin-off gets canned</title><link>/game-of-thrones-jon-snow-spin-off-no-longer-in-development?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Oisin Kuhnke</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 10 Apr 2024 10:12:47 +0000</pubDate><guid>/game-of-thrones-jon-snow-spin-off-no-longer-in-development?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>HBO</category><category>Film & Television</category><category>Pop Culture</category><category>Warner Bros.</category><category>Game of Thrones</category><category>Warner Bros Discovery</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/jon-snow-game-of-thrones-uhdpapercom-4k-95-e1655468173608.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/jon-snow-game-of-thrones-uhdpapercom-4k-95-e1655468173608.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p>Oh dear, another <strong>Game of Thrones</strong> spin-off is no longer in development at HBO, this time the one set to focus on Jon Snow.</p><p>With Game of Thrones having been as successful as it was, it's no surprise that HBO would want to capitalise on that as much as possible. Unfortunately for the network, it's only actually managed to get one show off the ground so far, House of the Dragon, <a href="/house-of-the-dragon-season-2-release-window">whose second season is due out this summer</a>. And now, in an interview with <a href="https://screenrant.com/game-thrones-jon-snow-spinoff-cancelled-why-kit-harington-response/">Screen Rant</a>, Jon Snow actor Kit Harington has confirmed that the sequel series starring his character is no longer in the works. "I hadn't really ever spoken about it, because it was in development," Harington said.</p><p>"I didn't want it leaked out that it was being developed, and I didn't want the thing to happen where people kind of start theorising, getting either excited about it or hating the idea of it, when it may never happen.

Well, thanks to a new behind-the-scenes video from the company that made the sequence, you can now enjoy a hilarious ultra close up of the mo-cap for that scene.</p><p>Yes, it's a weekday and we're casually reccomending that you take time out of your day, minutes of your life that you'll never get back, to watch a man scream into a camera while dressed in the slightly silly clothing that a lot of modern games, films, and shows require. Look, it's a bit funny, ok? I promise.</p><p>To see this bit of screaming, you'll need to check out a new behind-the-scenes video that Goodbye Kansas Studios, the Swedish VFX studio that worked on the game's intro alongside Arrowhead, has just put out. It's not too long, but offers some interesting glimpses at the motion capture and modelling that went into bringing the intro to life in a fashion that's not just people in funny suits running around with gun props.</p> <p><a href="/helldivers-2-intro-behind-the-scenes-goofy-close-up-guy-screaming-as-family-murdered?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>The first Joker 2 trailer looks surprisingly good, but it still won't admit if it's a musical or not</title><link>/joker-2-trailer-looks-surprisingly-good-wont-admit-if-its-a-musical?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Oisin Kuhnke</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 10 Apr 2024 09:11:04 +0000</pubDate><guid>/joker-2-trailer-looks-surprisingly-good-wont-admit-if-its-a-musical?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Joaquin Phoenix</category><category>Film & Television</category><category>Joker: Folie à Deux</category><category>lady gaga</category><category>Pop Culture</category><category>Warner Bros.</category><category>Warner Bros Discovery</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/joker-2-trailer.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/joker-2-trailer.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p>After a long wait, the first trailer for <strong>Joker 2</strong>, aka Joker: Folie à Deux, is here, and honestly, it doesn't look half bad.</p><p>One of the biggest questions surrounding Joker 2 is whether it's a musical or not. Supposedly, <a href="/joker-folie-a-deux-musical-new-images">it isn't one</a>, but the film's first trailer released yesterday at CinemaCon and I'm having a hard time believing that. In the trailer, we finally get a look at Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn in action, though with the trailer only being a couple of minutes long, it's hard to get a good read on what her performance will be like. Though, the little we do see of her performance is looking good so far, something that isn't exactly surprising for the talented actor.</p><p>Director Todd Phillips did appear at CinemaCon to discuss the film, where he shared that the original intention was to only do the one Joker film, but while talking to lead actor Joaquin Phoenix, the two spoke of doing another "because it was so fun and we liked the character of Arthur and Joker so much." Then, the pandemic happened, and the two brought up the idea again, "and now we're here."</p> <p><a href="/joker-2-trailer-looks-surprisingly-good-wont-admit-if-its-a-musical?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Dead Space directors land on Battlefield: Motive Studios joins DICE, Criterion, and Ripple Effect for future games</title><link>/battlefield-2042-content-ending-motive-joins-battlefield-teams?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Stephany Nunneley-Jackson</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 09 Apr 2024 20:55:09 +0000</pubDate><guid>/battlefield-2042-content-ending-motive-joins-battlefield-teams?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Xbox One</category><category>Motive Studios</category><category>EA</category><category>PS4</category><category>Military</category><category>Single Player</category><category>Criterion Games</category><category>Action Adventure</category><category>PC</category><category>Battlefield 2042</category><category>Multiplayer Competitive</category><category>Battlefield</category><category>DICE</category><category>Xbox Series X/S</category><category>Multiplayer Cooperative</category><category>Ripple Effect</category><category>military shooter</category><category>Blockbuster</category><category>Futuristic</category><category>Shooter</category><category>Electronic Arts</category><category>First person</category><category>PS5</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/battlefield-2042-season-7-new.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/battlefield-2042-season-7-new.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p>All good things come to an end, so the saying goes, and such is the case with <strong>Battlefield 2042</strong>.</p><p>Today, Electronic Arts announced DICE will not release future content for the game beyond Season 7, <a href="/battlefield-2042-season-7-new-maps-weapons-gameplay-year-1-bonus">released last month</a>.

Dredge is just the latest video game adaptation added to Story Kitchen's slate, too, as it's also working on adaptations of We Happy Few, Tomb Raider, Disco Elysium, It Takes Two, Life is Strange, and even more than that.

I've never actually seen the film, but my general consensus of it is that it's an occasionally cool-looking but dull film void of any character or engaging plot. Overall it doesn't sound like a film that could be fixed with a re-edit, but Snyder thinks otherwise. The Justice League and Dawn of the Dead director recently spoke with <a href="https://www.empireonline.com/movies/news/zack-snyder-wants-to-fix-sucker-punch-footage-already-shot-exclusive/">Empire</a> in a big new interview, and he was asked if there were any of his movies he'd want to change anything about, but the only one that came up was Sucker Punch.</p><p>"The only movie I would change is Sucker Punch, because it never really got finished correctly," Snyder said. "Even the director’s cut is not really the correct cut. It’s really just an extended version. If I had the chance, I would fix that movie." Snyder seemingly didn't elaborate how he would fix it, but there's apparently more of the film never released that would allow him to do so. "I have the footage already shot: they just have to let me put it together. We ask every now and then. We have to ask again. I think there has to be a window when no-one’s got the movie."</p> <p><a href="/snyder-cut-2-the-justice-league-director-thinks-he-can-fix-his-widely-panned-sucker-punch?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Children of the Sun review - A moody, emotive sniper-puzzle shooter dripping with style</title><link>/children-of-the-sun-review?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Kelsey Raynor</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 09 Apr 2024 15:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/children-of-the-sun-review?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Reviews</category><category>Indie</category><category>Devolver Digital</category><category>PC</category><category>Shooter</category><category>Children Of The Sun</category><category>Puzzle</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/children-of-the-sun_WDwnjaB.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/children-of-the-sun_WDwnjaB.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p>The description of <strong>Children of the Sun</strong> tells you everything that you need to know without telling you much at all. You are THE GIRL, an ex-member of THE CULT who once promised you a simpler life. Instead, they made your life hell. Now, you’re hunting down members of THE CULT, exterminating each and every one of them using your mind-bending abilities, as you attempt to reach THE LEADER.</p><p>But what exactly is this cult all about? How did they ruin THE GIRL’s life, and what are they capable of? Well, the answers are not handed to you on a silver platter, but instead drip-fed to you by some beautifully illustrated cutscenes and a detailed, moody environment that the game places THE GIRL in. This is something you’ll get up close and personal with in this sniper-puzzle shooter, where time slows as you realign your bullet, giving you plenty of time to soak in the surroundings as you plan your next move. All-in-all, however, a lot of THE GIRL’s story is open to interpretation.</p><p>There’s one thing we can all agree on, though: she's out for revenge.</p> <p><a href="/children-of-the-sun-review?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>New DLC-sized Starfield mod lets you build giant mechs and transforms outposts into a "space colonization" sim</title><link>/starfield-mod-tgs-galactic-colonies-expanse-mechs-outposts?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Mark Warren</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 09 Apr 2024 14:24:25 +0000</pubDate><guid>/starfield-mod-tgs-galactic-colonies-expanse-mechs-outposts?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Science Fiction</category><category>Xbox Series X/S</category><category>Single Player</category><category>Action Adventure</category><category>Starfield</category><category>Bethesda Game Studios</category><category>RPG</category><category>PC</category><category>Bethesda Softworks</category><category>Third person</category><category>Mods</category><category>Shooter</category><category>First person</category><category>Shooter: First Person</category><category>Open World</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/starfield-mod-tgs-galactic-colonies-expanse-mechs-outposts-01.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/starfield-mod-tgs-galactic-colonies-expanse-mechs-outposts-01.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p>After years of <a href="/starfield-guide-quest-walkthroughs-item-locations-and-more">Starfield</a> players lusting after the idea of actually being able to do something with mechs in the game aside from staring at the broken ones that dot a lot of the ruins in the Settled Systems, a new mod will finally let you build some of your own.

Death felt like a fitting end for a character whose whole thing was supposed to be attempting to redeem himself for all of the deaths that he caused, and even if I don't love the MCU, it felt like a weighty, if slightly unearned choice to make. However, even though the character is dead, Downey Jr. would be happy to ruin that thematic decision and come back to the character. The now Oscar winner spoke to Esquire following his award for his performance in Oppenheimer last month, where he shared his feeling on the possibility of returning to Iron Man.</p><p>"Happily. It’s too integral a part of my DNA," Downey Jr. said. "That role chose me. And look, I always say, 'Never, ever bet against Kevin Feige.' It is a losing bet. He’s the house. He will always win." To be fair to Feige, though, in an interview with Vanity Fair last year, the MCU head did say that there are no plans to bring Iron Man back from the dead. "We are going to keep that moment and not touch that moment again," he said at the time. "We all worked very hard for many years to get to that, and we would never want to magically undo it in any way."</p> <p><a href="/robert-downey-jr-wouldnt-say-no-to-coming-back-to-iron-man?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Fallout: Breaking, new fan film from creator of the series that inspired Fallout New Vegas' goofiest weapon, gets its first trailer</title><link>/fallout-breaking-fan-firm-first-trailer-nuka-break?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Mark Warren</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 09 Apr 2024 10:08:40 +0000</pubDate><guid>/fallout-breaking-fan-firm-first-trailer-nuka-break?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Fallout</category><category>iOS</category><category>Bandai Namco Entertainment</category><category>Obsidian Entertainment</category><category>Single Player</category><category>Fallout 3</category><category>Apple</category><category>Shooter</category><category>Xbox 360</category><category>Bethesda Game Studios</category><category>RPG</category><category>PC</category><category>Bethesda Softworks</category><category>Third person</category><category>Fallout: New Vegas</category><category>First person</category><category>PS3</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/fallout-breaking-fan-firm-first-trailer-nuka-break-01.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/fallout-breaking-fan-firm-first-trailer-nuka-break-01.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p>Yup, this month just has too many cool Fallout things too keep track of. While you're probably aware of The <a href="/tv-shows/fallout">Fallout TV Show</a>, which we've just learned is now dropping via <a href="https://amzn.to/3VWS46i" rel="sponsored noopener" target="_blank">Amazon Prime</a> on April 10, a number of fan projects and creations have also been arriving as part of the Fallout mania. The latest of these is the first trailer for Fallout: Breaking, a new fan film from someone you might be familiar with if you're a series veteran.</p><p>For those who aren't, here's a little refresher. Back in the halcyon days of 2011, when the idea of a Fallout TV or movie adaptation seemed a little more like a pipe dream, Fallout: Nuka Break came out. Originally planned and released as a fan film, it ended up <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcgxXnEVVyM">becoming a web series</a> that ran for a couple of seasons, got some spin-offs, and <a href="https://archive.ph/20120802165319/http://www.formspring.me/JESawyer/q/248301503574449231">was even referenced</a> in <a href="/games/fallout-new-vegas">Fallout New Vegas</a> - via the Nuka-Breaker, a Nuka Cola sign melee weapon that's part of the Gun Runners' Arsenal DLC.</p><p>Now, Nuka Break's creator, Zack Finfrock, is back with <a href="https://twitter.com/ZackFinfrock/status/1777537208255176740">the first trailer</a> for a new fan film he's been working on, dubbed Fallout: Breaking. As well as featuring a Nuka-Breaker - don't worry, someone does get hit with it - the first trailer for Breaking focuses on the main character, Twig, Finfrock's role from Nuka Break that he's reprising.</p> <p><a href="/fallout-breaking-fan-firm-first-trailer-nuka-break?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Daisy Ridley is excited for her solo Star Wars film, but she didn't immediately say yes to it</title><link>/daisy-didnt-immediately-say-yes-to-solo-star-wars-film?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Oisin Kuhnke</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 09 Apr 2024 10:04:50 +0000</pubDate><guid>/daisy-didnt-immediately-say-yes-to-solo-star-wars-film?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>The Walt Disney Company</category><category>Star Wars</category><category>Daisy Ridley</category><category>Lucasfilm</category><category>Film & Television</category><category>Pop Culture</category><category>Rey Skywalker</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/star-wars-rey.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/star-wars-rey.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p>Daisy Ridley is set to return as Rey in an upcoming solo outing for the <strong>Star Wars</strong> character, but she apparently didn't sign up right away.</p><p>A new Star Wars trilogy was always going to be somewhat controversial, no matter how good the films ended up being, because to put it perhaps slightly unkindly, Star Wars fans can be a bit annoying. I get it, you love this massive universe filled with all kinds of wonder! But you can stop complaining about The Phantom Menace now, it's not actually that bad. Of course, the new trilogy of films did go on to be received quite radically differently depending on who you asked, resulting in a difficult time for its cast, but in a new interview with <a href="https://www.empireonline.com/movies/news/daisy-ridley-return-star-wars-rey-owning-it-exclusive/">Empire</a>, Ridley has said she's "coming in a bit more eyes wide open" to her next stint as Rey.</p><p>"I suppose I feel more like I’m owning it. I suppose I owned it the first time. Basically, I’m an adult now. I certainly did not feel like an adult at the time. Obviously, personally, things have changed, and professionally, I’ve had lots of other experiences, and so I definitely feel like it’s a different thing this time." Ridley still has a lot of love for the films too, even with all the conversations (and harassment) surrounding them, going on to say "There's just a lot of joy with me and these films. Honestly, if I wasn't excited, I wouldn't have done it. It feels like a great thing to be a part of."</p> <p><a href="/daisy-didnt-immediately-say-yes-to-solo-star-wars-film?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Can you beat Dragon's Dogma 2 using only your fists?

Both of them sit within the top 10 highest-grossing video game film adaptations, and they've definitely relit a spark in the Sonic fandom, even if the movies haven't translated into overwhelmingly strong video game sales. Even still, franchise and series executive producer Toby Ascher has some bold plans for the live-action Sonic universe.

They're going to be these big, exciting stories that have a lot of different characters. And so what television did for us is it gave us time to go into some of the more supporting characters in depth and really build them out in cool ways."</p> <p><a href="/paramount-wants-sonic-movies-to-be-avengers-level-events?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Surprise, The Fallout TV Show is arriving even earlier than we expected, and a second series looks likely</title><link>/fallout-tv-show-arriving-early-series-2-maybe-on-cards?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Mark Warren</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 09 Apr 2024 08:46:25 +0000</pubDate><guid>/fallout-tv-show-arriving-early-series-2-maybe-on-cards?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Fallout</category><category>Xbox One</category><category>Single Player</category><category>Fallout 4</category><category>Bethesda Game Studios</category><category>Pop Culture</category><category>PC</category><category>Bethesda Softworks</category><category>RPG</category><category>PS4</category><category>Third person</category><category>Shooter</category><category>First person</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/fallout-tv-show-arriving-early-series-2-maybe-on-cards-01.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/fallout-tv-show-arriving-early-series-2-maybe-on-cards-01.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p>Boo!

Thankfully, in the months since that point, it seems like the support from Fallout fans for the ex-CM hasn't let up.</p><p>Speaking to VG247 for an upcoming feature, McCarthy outlined how the Fallout community has helped her stay positive as she's worked through what, naturally, sounds like it's been a time of substantial change and upheaval in her life. "The community has been so supportive, they really have stayed right next to me and gone out of their way to make me feel cared for," she said, "I still get messages from them checking in on me and seeing how I am doing, and I've been getting a lot more visitors to my C.A.M.P. in-game!"</p> <p><a href="/former-fallout-76-community-manager-credits-community-bounce-back-microsoft-layoff?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>I am obsessed with this new Nintendo Switch game where you are a man who will die if he doesn't eat sushi</title><link>/sushi-soul-survivor-surreal-new-nintendo-switch-game?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Oisin Kuhnke</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 08 Apr 2024 15:53:59 +0000</pubDate><guid>/sushi-soul-survivor-surreal-new-nintendo-switch-game?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Platformer</category><category>PC</category><category>Nintendo</category><category>Nintendo Switch</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sushi-soul-universe.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sushi-soul-universe.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p>Ever since I learned about it, I have not been able to stop thinking about <strong>Sushi Soul Universe</strong>, the only new Nintendo Switch game you should care about.</p><p><strong>Princess Peach Showtime</strong>? Who needs it! That pink dictator is old news, because there's a new Switch game in town, and its name is Sushi Soul Universe. In this absolutely surreal platformer, you are a man who loves sushi, and if you don't eat sushi you will die. Then one day, on a street corner in Shibuya, he discovers that sushi is disappearing from the world. Enter the Great Will of Sushi, and so starts a journey where you have to change the very fabric of the universe to save sushi. It is quite easily the wildest concept I've seen so far from a game this year, and I am absolutely all in on this bananas rodeo.</p><p>The concept might be out there, but honestly the gameplay isn't too hard to understand. In it, you are literally just a guy, and there is a bar that is constantly going down unless you eat sushi, and if it runs out, that's out, you're dead. Certain levels you have to collect a certain amount of sushi, others you just have to make it to the end of the level, occasionally you'll have to avoid certain hazards, the sushi-loving protagonist is shouting literally all of the time, and it even has its own anime opening-eseque theme; it's got the makings of a genuinely solid platformer.</p> <p><a href="/sushi-soul-survivor-surreal-new-nintendo-switch-game?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>It might have been a bad console, but I'm still sad the Wii U is dying today</title><link>/im-sad-the-wii-u-is-dying-today?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Oisin Kuhnke</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 08 Apr 2024 15:30:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/im-sad-the-wii-u-is-dying-today?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Nintendo</category><category>Nintendo Wii U</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/nintendo-wii-u.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/nintendo-wii-u.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p>Oh, the <strong>Wii U</strong>. You weren't the best console in the world, but I don't think you deserve the fate you're receiving. Last year, following the closure of the eShops for both the 3DS and the Wii U, Nintendo subsequently announced that the <a href="/3ds-and-wii-u-online-services-going-offline-in-early-2024">console's online services would soon follow</a>. That day is today, in fact, with only hours to go at the time of writing until it's impossible to play either console's games online forever. I know that the Wii U wasn't a perfect console, but you know what? I'm sad about its death all the same.</p><p>This might be a strange way to start this argument, but let me get there: I admittedly haven't played tons and tons of the Wii U's library. I've certainly played a good few rounds of Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon, and had a good go at Super Mario Maker, but outside of playing The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Wind Waker in crispy HD, it's mostly become a way to play OG Wii games with HDMI quality visuals.</p><p>So why am I sad that the console is on its deathbed today, if it's not the Nintendo console I've spent the most time with? Well, it's because it represents a big change for Nintendo, one that has made its even deeper dive into being just another video game corporation all the more obvious.</p> <p><a href="/im-sad-the-wii-u-is-dying-today?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>You'll be able to check out the first episode of Fallout for free - as long as you don't mind someone talking over it on Twitch</title><link>/you-can-watch-fallout-show-first-episode-free-on-twitch?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Oisin Kuhnke</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 08 Apr 2024 15:01:05 +0000</pubDate><guid>/you-can-watch-fallout-show-first-episode-free-on-twitch?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Fallout</category><category>Xbox One</category><category>Single Player</category><category>Fallout 4</category><category>Prime Video</category><category>Bethesda Game Studios</category><category>Film & Television</category><category>PC</category><category>Bethesda Softworks</category><category>Pop Culture</category><category>Amazon Prime</category><category>PS4</category><category>RPG</category><category>Shooter</category><category>Third person</category><category>First person</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/fallout-show-poster.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/fallout-show-poster.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p>Thinking about checking out <strong>Prime Video's Fallout</strong> show, but don't have a subscription? You'll be able to watch the first episode for free, but only on <strong>Twitch</strong>.</p><p>Later this week, on April 12, the Fallout show is finally making its way to Prime Video, with all eight episodes dropping on the streaming service at once. If you're desperate to watch it, though, you'll be able to do so on April 11. As announced by Twitch on Twitter, a selection of streamers will be hosting the first episode so you can watch it before the full series arrives. It's a little unclear how exactly that will work, as Twitch only announced last month that its Prime Video watch parties feature would be <a href="https://www.engadget.com/twitch-is-ending-its-pandemic-era-prime-video-watch-parties-110004438.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAA_EGHaJxjJIfBGE8XEa97jQ-3KHNRilkXBgvcPFzae6S764LANeKzN6r0hMbsGlkyRdEAmzIyt37t_qInESvBjXaCNe43WQZ6cGJAzvXrEr7QQSXg1GLldkZzoSdF1Qushy6x13BTHUOZ15qm_XKVp-fo20WUT62l1r2dWdr59u">shut down on April 2</a>, which has come and gone. It's possible that the selected streamers have been provided an early copy, of course, but several users on Twitter did question the decision considering the removal of the feature.</p><p>It's also seemingly been a frustrating point for some smaller streamers, who would have liked to host a watch party with their community, but that ability is being limited to the selection of streamers listed by twitch.

Apparently, this is something the <a href="/tv-shows/fallout">Fallout TV Show</a>'s creators were keen to capture, despite the fact the series is being released exclusively via the streaming service of, er, Amazon.</p><p>To be fair, it does very much sound like the show's creators are very aware of the dissonance that comes from projecting the message 'unchecked corporations bad' via the airwaves of a corportation that continues to expand to levels where interacting with it's basically unavoidable a lot of the time.</p><p>Speaking to <a href="https://www.thegamer.com/fallout-showrunners-irony-of-show-being-on-amazon-prime-anti-corporation/">TheGamer</a>, showrunner Graham Wagner touched on how the show's creators have approached that issue. "For us, it was part of the appeal, the absurdity of that," he explained, "That we get to tell a story about a world that bet big on mega-corporations and it collapsed and put it on Amazon is too delicious for words." </p> <p><a href="/fallout-tv-show-still-has-anti-corporate-energy-despite-being-on-amazon?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Helldivers 2 players did a good job taking down the Automatons, but now the game is technically impossible to Platinum</title><link>/helldivers-2-technically-impossible-to-platinum-now-that-automatons-are-gone?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Oisin Kuhnke</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 08 Apr 2024 11:27:09 +0000</pubDate><guid>/helldivers-2-technically-impossible-to-platinum-now-that-automatons-are-gone?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Helldivers 2</category><category>Single Player</category><category>Shooter: Third Person</category><category>PC</category><category>Third person</category><category>Multiplayer Competitive</category><category>Arrowhead Game Studios</category><category>Multiplayer Cooperative</category><category>Shooter</category><category>PS5</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/helldivers-2-screenshot_jN2e7j8.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/helldivers-2-screenshot_jN2e7j8.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p><strong>Helldivers 2</strong> players have successfully taken down all of the Automatons, but now they face a new problem: not being able to Platinum the game.</p><p>Last week, Helldivers 2 players came together to take down all of the enemy bots as part of the game's latest major order.

Are they actually gone forever? Who knows, but I can tell you that a fresh hotfix is incoming to rectify some crashes that’ve been affecting the late stages of operations.</p><p>Yup, even though they’re yet to get their hands on any of the <a href="/new-helldivers-2-warbond-arrives-next-week-includes-explosive-crossbow">fresh ordinance coming as part of the new Democratic Detonation Warbond that'll be available from April 11 onwards</a>, they’ve done a thing. Though, the Terminids have immediately stepped in as the latest threat to fight, so it’s not like things are totally chill on the space front.</p><p>“You did it, Helldivers. Operation Swift Disassembly was a success! With the bots eradicated and bugs contained, the galaxy is free once more,” an entirely non-suspicious tweet from Arrowhead declared following the completion of the major order to liberate Maia, Tibit and Durgen. While the mission was explicitly framed as an “all-out push” to destroy the automatons, folks have naturally been pretty suspicious that, you know, that’d actually come to fruition.</p> <p><a href="/helldivers-2-bots-eradicated-despite-mission-concluding-crashes-fixed-very-soon?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Attention, trainers: The Pokemon World Championship dates have been set for this summer</title><link>/pokemon-world-championship-dates-set-for-this-summer?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Oisin Kuhnke</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 08 Apr 2024 10:12:39 +0000</pubDate><guid>/pokemon-world-championship-dates-set-for-this-summer?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Pokemon Scarlet and Violet</category><category>Single Player</category><category>Open World</category><category>Game Freak</category><category>Family-friendly</category><category>Kids & Family</category><category>RPG</category><category>Third person</category><category>Multiplayer Competitive</category><category>Anime</category><category>Multiplayer Cooperative</category><category>Nintendo</category><category>Nintendo Switch</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/pokemon-world-championships-2024.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/pokemon-world-championships-2024.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p>If you love watching the best <strong>Pokemon</strong> trainers around the world duking it out, you'll be happy to hear the dates for the World Championships have been confirmed.</p><p>Last year, The Pokemon Company revealed that the 2024 Pokemon World Championships <a href="/the-pokemon-company-hawaii-wildfire-donation">would be held in Honolulu, Hawai'i</a> for the first time. The Pokemon Europe International Championships took place over the weekend, and following the event the official Play Pokemon Twitter account confirmed that <a href="https://worlds.pokemon.com/en-us/">Pokemon Worlds</a> will take place on August 16-18 at the Hawai'i Convention Center. Of course, you will have had to have been competing so far at various other tournaments to make it to Worlds, but you can attend the tournament as a guest in any case.</p><p>The announcement of Pokemon Worlds being held in Honolulu came at a difficult time last year, as Hawai'i was being heavily impacted by wildfires all across the state. In response, The Pokemon Company donated $200,000 dollars to support relief efforts at the time. It's important to note that many native Hawaiians are <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/hawaiian-local-thoughts-feelings-about-tourism-2023-11">critical of the amount of tourism the state receives</a>, calling visitors to at minimum to respect both the people that live there and the local wildlife more than they currently do, with some even saying that tourists should stop visiting altogether. If you are considering visiting Hawai'i for Pokemon Worlds, keep that in your mind when weighing up whether you should go or not.</p> <p><a href="/pokemon-world-championship-dates-set-for-this-summer?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Ahead of the Fallout TV Show, you can already rock some stylish gear from it in Fallout 4, thanks to a mod</title><link>/fallout-tv-show-backpack-fallout-4-mod?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Mark Warren</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 08 Apr 2024 09:37:41 +0000</pubDate><guid>/fallout-tv-show-backpack-fallout-4-mod?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Fallout</category><category>Xbox One</category><category>Single Player</category><category>Fallout 4</category><category>Bethesda Game Studios</category><category>Pop Culture</category><category>PC</category><category>Bethesda Softworks</category><category>RPG</category><category>Mods</category><category>PS4</category><category>Third person</category><category>Shooter</category><category>First person</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/fallout-tv-show-backpack-fallout-4-mod-01.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/fallout-tv-show-backpack-fallout-4-mod-01.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p>The <a href="/tv-shows/fallout">Fallout TV Show</a> drops on Amazon Prime later this week, and if you're replaying <a href="/games/fallout-4">Fallout 4</a> while you wait for April 11 to arrive, a new mod definitely looks like it's worth grabbing. It's one for all the merch freaks out there, as it adds a backpack to the game that's the spitting image of the one the show's vault dweller, Lucy, has been shown wearing as she traverses the wastes.</p><p>Yup, we've already had <a href="/fallout-deadweight-fan-film-fallout-4-ending">fan films adding a new concluding scene to the Sole Survivor's adventure this month</a>, and now they've been gifted a fresh way of showing they're keeping up with the trends, as they lug ten million bits of scrap around The Commonwealth.

The mod, as you'd imagine, adds a bag inspired by it to Fallout 4, so you can twin with your new Californian vault bezzie.</p> <p><a href="/fallout-tv-show-backpack-fallout-4-mod?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>The Diablo 4 PTR has been datamined and it looks like Diablo 2's famed Iron Wolves may return in Season 4</title><link>/diablo-4-season-4-leak-iron-wolves-datamine-seasonal-theme?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Sherif Saed</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 08 Apr 2024 09:23:44 +0000</pubDate><guid>/diablo-4-season-4-leak-iron-wolves-datamine-seasonal-theme?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Blizzard Entertainment</category><category>Xbox One</category><category>Activision Blizzard</category><category>Xbox Series X/S</category><category>Blockbuster</category><category>Diablo</category><category>Open World</category><category>Single Player</category><category>Action Adventure</category><category>RPG</category><category>PC</category><category>Diablo IV</category><category>PS4</category><category>PS5</category><category>Multiplayer Cooperative</category><category>Bird view / Isometric</category><category>Hack & Slash</category><category>Fantasy</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/diablo-press-asset-3.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/diablo-press-asset-3.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p>Things seem to be getting better in the world of <a href="/diablo-4-beginners-guide-builds-maps-and-tips-for-new-players">Diablo 4</a> at the moment.

Then again, "Look Arisen, a ladder!" And again, and again, and again. Chatter like that would get on anyone's nerves after a while (they've certainly got on mine), and while I appreciate how helpful Dragon's Dogma 2's pawns are, I wish they would talk just that little bit less. Lucky for me, and anyone else in a similar predicament, there's a mod that can fix exactly that.</p><p>The mod in question is quite simply named <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/248">ShutUpPawns</a>, a mostly "does what it says on the tin" type mod, though it is actually a bit more complicated than just turning off the dialogue. Essentially, the mod lets you put various lines of dialogue into a blocklist so they won't tell you about every single ladder and chest under the sun, as well as other bits of dialogue. It lets you fine tune specific bits of dialogue so your pawns can just tell you about chests, for example, because I certainly don't need to know about every single ladder we come across. On top of that, you can also prevent your pawns from high fiving you, though personally I'd leave that in just because I think it's a cute little touch.</p> <p><a href="/dragons-dogma-2-shutuppawns-mod?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Bad news, Disney+ subscribers: the password sharing crackdown is coming later this year</title><link>/disney-plus-password-sharing-crackdown-coming-later-this-year?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Oisin Kuhnke</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 07 Apr 2024 15:37:16 +0000</pubDate><guid>/disney-plus-password-sharing-crackdown-coming-later-this-year?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Pop Culture</category><category>Disney+</category><category>The Walt Disney Company</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/Disney-Plus-logo.png?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/Disney-Plus-logo.png?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p>Oh dear, <strong>Disney+</strong> is finally following in <strong>Netflix's</strong> footsteps, as the streaming service is planning on curtailing password sharing later this year.</p><p>Earlier this year, the house of mouse <a href="/disney-plus-continues-crackdown-password-sharing-us-subscribers">changed its Disney+ subscriber agreement</a> to make it clear that password sharing will soon be a thing of the past. Now, in a recent interview with <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2024/04/04/disney-ceo-bob-iger-on-streaming-we-have-to-turn-it-into-a-growth-business.html">CNBC</a>, Disney CEO Bob Iger has announced that the company plans on "launching our first real foray into password sharing" this coming June. Iger went on to clarify that these plans will kick off in "just a few countries in a few markets" before it will affect all subscribers in September.</p><p>Essentially, if you're using someone else's Disney+ subscription at this point in time, and you want to keep using it, you best enjoy the next few months of not having to pay the full price, if you're paying at all. When Netflix started cracking down on password sharing back in 2023, it charged users an additional $8 a month just to add an extra viewer outside their home, which is on top of the $15.50 a month on the standard plan, meaning you're looking at over $23 a month across two homes. That's a far cry from the original price of $8 a month just for a standard Netflix plan, and shows you how truly expensive the streaming service has gotten.</p> <p><a href="/disney-plus-password-sharing-crackdown-coming-later-this-year?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>With only days remaining before the Wii U servers shut down, a player managed to beat a Super Mario Maker level thought to be impossible</title><link>/super-mario-maker-impossible-level-beaten-days-before-wii-u-servers-close?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Oisin Kuhnke</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 07 Apr 2024 15:09:26 +0000</pubDate><guid>/super-mario-maker-impossible-level-beaten-days-before-wii-u-servers-close?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Single Player</category><category>Side view</category><category>Super Mario Maker</category><category>Nintendo Wii U</category><category>Platformer</category><category>Nintendo</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/Super-Mario-Maker.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/Super-Mario-Maker.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p>The <strong>Super Mario Maker</strong> community has been collectively working towards beating an impossible level, and it seems that someone has managed to do it.</p><p>Last year, following the closure of the 3DS and Wii U eShops, Nintendo announced that it would also be <a href="/3ds-and-wii-u-online-services-going-offline-in-early-2024">shutting down online services for both consoles</a>. That day is soon upon us, as from tomorrow, April 8, it will be impossible to play any game online, including classics like Splatoon and Super Mario Maker. While the former has Splatoon 2 and 3 to fall back on, the Super Mario Maker community has been working to try and get every fan-made level completed before the servers shutdown. Team 0% has been working on this specifically, but there was one big problem, a level by the name of Trimming the Herbs. </p><p>The level itself is technically only 17 seconds long, but it requires ridiculously tight reflexes. After around 280,000 attempts, it actually came to light that the level's creator hadn't even beaten it, a prerequisite to submit the level online. It turns out that the creator had used tool-assisted speedrun techniques, meaning it might very well have been impossible for an actual person to beat.

While the spin-off games are a fan favourite, only a handful of titles with the Tactics subtitle were ever released, though those that are fans of the games have a lot of love to give them. Interestingly enough, Yoshi-P recently shared in an interview with <a href="https://www.thegamer.com/final-fantasy-16-interview-yoshida-kujiraoka-koji-fox-rising-tide-dlc/">TheGamer</a> that he would be interested in seeing a new one too. When asked about using Final Fantasy 16 as the base for a new Tactics game, Yoshida, Rising Tide DLC director Takeo Kujiraoka, and localisation director Michael-Christopher Koji Fox all apparently laughed and agreed that its scale might not be the best way to go about it. "What would we even call it?" Fox laughed, "Final Fantasy 16 Tactics? That’s a lot."</p><p>Yoshida went on to say, "We have a lot of our staff who worked on previous games like Final Fantasy Tactics or Final Fantasy 12, so you're going to have a lot of that [Tactics] feel because a lot of the same people are on the team. We’re very happy for you to suggest this because we’re all fans, but if we were going to make this, we wouldn’t want to do the same story that turns out to be a different story." </p> <p><a href="/yoshi-p-doesnt-want-final-fantasy-tactics-16-does-think-spin-off-needs-a-new-entry?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>If The Matrix 5 has to happen, it needs to start from scratch</title><link>/if-the-matrix-5-has-to-happen-it-needs-to-start-from-scratch?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Oisin Kuhnke</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 07 Apr 2024 14:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/if-the-matrix-5-has-to-happen-it-needs-to-start-from-scratch?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Film & Television</category><category>Pop Culture</category><category>Warner Bros.</category><category>Warner Bros Discovery</category><category>The Matrix</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/the-matrix-1999.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/the-matrix-1999.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p>Earlier this week, word arrived from Warner Bros. that <a href="/drew-goddard-new-matrix-sequel">The Matrix 5 is in development</a> with Netflix's Daredevil creator Drew Goddard at the helm, and in turn a big sigh was uttered across the internet - myself included. It's fine for franchises to die, especially one that ends as conclusively (at least thematically) as The Matrix: Resurrections did, but unfortunately in a world where IP is king, there is always money to be made. I know my complaining here won't stop Warner Bros. from pushing ahead with a new entry, but if a new film has to happen, then it needs to start at the beginning.</p><p>Last month, on March 31, a trifecta of events took place: it was Easter Sunday, Trans Day of Visibility, and the 25th anniversary of the original Matrix film. Only once in a generation can such events take place at the same time, and it feels like a perfect way for The Matrix to celebrate such a big birthday, what with the obvious Jesus-like figure it has in Neo, and the <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-53692435">very purposeful trans themes</a> present in the film. The two following sequels weren't as well received, and neither was its 2021 soft-reboot Resurrections, though all three have been critically reappraised as the years have gone on.</p><p>I don't think they could ever hold a candle to the original, as it felt like lightning in a bottle. It came at the perfect time, with its dark, edgy, and rainy vibes alongside its use of contemporary technology, it tapped into the zeitgeist of the 90s perfectly right at the end of the decade. No sequel could ever hope to capture that, and its job was made all the more difficult by the fact that Neo went on a classic hero's journey, a perfect way to start a story.</p> <p><a href="/if-the-matrix-5-has-to-happen-it-needs-to-start-from-scratch?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>As Xbox prepares for "the biggest technological leap ever" with its next-gen hardware, it sets up a preservation team to future-proof the platform</title><link>/xbox-prepares-technological-leap-with-next-gen-hardware-sets-up-preservation-team?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Oisin Kuhnke</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 07 Apr 2024 13:46:40 +0000</pubDate><guid>/xbox-prepares-technological-leap-with-next-gen-hardware-sets-up-preservation-team?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Microsoft</category><category>Xbox Series X/S</category><category>Xbox Game Studios</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/xbox-game-pass_UxnUyor.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/xbox-game-pass_UxnUyor.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p><strong>Xbox</strong> appears to be going all in on preservation, as it has set up an entire team to ensure the future of the platform.</p><p>A few years back, Xbox put a big effort into making many of its older Xbox and Xbox 360 titles playable on the Xbox One and Series X/S, a move that was welcomed by many as it made it a whole lot easier to play many classics that would otherwise have needed you lug out your old consoles you aren't even sure you had all the cables for, still. Now, as reported by <a href="https://www.windowscentral.com/gaming/xbox/exclusive-xbox-president-sarah-bond-has-set-up-a-new-team-dedicated-to-game-preservation-and-forward-compatibility">Windows Central</a>, a recent email sent by Xbox president Sarah Bond to the company's staff has shared that an entire team focused on preservation has been set up.</p><p>"We have formed a new team dedicated to game preservation, important to all of us at Xbox and the industry itself," wrote Bond. "We are building on our strong history of delivering backwards compatibility to our players, and we remain committed to bringing forward the amazing library of Xbox games for future generations of players to enjoy." According to sources that spoke with Windows Central, Microsoft is possibly going to share more on this point around its annual showcase this summer, <a href="/gears-of-war-6-summer-reveal-xbox-showcase">which might also reveal Gears of War 6</a>.</p> <p><a href="/xbox-prepares-technological-leap-with-next-gen-hardware-sets-up-preservation-team?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed">Read more</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>Whatever Baldur's Gate 3 dev Larian ends up doing next, it will probably be in early access too</title><link>/baldurs-gate-3-dev-larian-next-game-probably-early-access-too?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Oisin Kuhnke</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 07 Apr 2024 13:11:13 +0000</pubDate><guid>/baldurs-gate-3-dev-larian-next-game-probably-early-access-too?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed</guid><category>Xbox Series X/S</category><category>Single Player</category><category>Action Adventure</category><category>Larian Studios</category><category>Strategy</category><category>RPG</category><category>PC</category><category>Full product</category><category>Multiplayer Competitive</category><category>Strategy: Turn-Based Strategy</category><category>Multiplayer Cooperative</category><category>Bird view / Isometric</category><category>Baldur's Gate III</category><category>PS5</category><category>Fantasy</category><media:content medium="image" url="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/baldurs-gate-3-key-art.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/baldurs-gate-3-key-art.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p><a href="/baldurs-gate-3-walkthrough">Baldur's Gate 3</a> dev <strong>Larian</strong> definitely isn't making a sequel, but whatever its next game is, it will definitely go down the early access route.</p><p>Last month, many Baldur's Gate 3 fans across the world likely shed a tear when Larian CEO Swen Vincke said that the studio has <a href="/larian-will-not-be-making-baldurs-gate-4-or-any-baldurs-gate-3-dlc">no plans to make a sequel or even any expansions</a>. Vincke shared that Larian will be moving on to something else, leaving the Baldur's Gate IP in the hands of its owners Wizards of the Coast to do something else with. Considering the fact that Baldur's Gate 3 is still regularly getting updates, and the full release isn't even a year old yet, it's unlikely we'll see what's next for Larian for a while yet, but in a recent interview with <a href="https://www.gamefile.news/p/baldurs-gate-iii-interview-michael-douse">Game File</a> (thanks, <a href="https://kotaku.com/baldurs-gate-3-larian-new-game-early-access-1851392180?utm_source=vip">Kotaku</a>), Larian's head of publishing Michael Douse did talk about release plans for the studio's follow-up.</p><p>Speaking of self-publishing and early access, Douse said "This is the only way to do it now." He went on to note how marketing has cratered, and that an early access release allows a developer to create "social resonance" while less and less games make a big impression on players. Important is that Douse doesn't say that this is something everyone can do, and if you don't know how to do it, don't just do so heedlessly, but it did help Larian work on Baldur's Gate's strong gameplay loop, as well as build a community. And for the next game, Douse said it "will also probably be in early access."</p> <p><a
