One of the most iconic video game characters in history (and specifically the Mortal Kombat franchise) is Johnny Cage. Even those who have never played a Mortal Kombat game have likely heard of the Cage man. There’s a good reason for that: the famous shades and cocky yet endearing personality have stood the test of time. So much so that Johnny Cage has practically replaced Liu Kang as the main star of the games....
The last two weeks have been filled with a constant outpour of news from the movie industry. First, it was WarnerMedia and HBO Max announcing they’d be taking a total of 17 movies -including Mortal Kombat- for a simultaneous release in theaters and streaming; then last week Disney revealed their extensive plans for Star Wars and Marvel in 2021 and beyond. Ever since then, Warner’s decision has been met with a fair share of backlash from some of the studio’ most prominent directors, including Christopher Nolan and Denis Villeneuve, with both criticizing Warner’s strategy, considering it dismissive of the artists’ efforts in making those films, as well as a severe hit on the moviegoing experience audiences and directors who would hope for more standard theatrical releases....

Though the Modern Warfare 3 Content Drops, and subsequent Content Collections, are mostly focused on multiplayer maps, this second one (which releases later this month) also introduces a new mode. Dubbed Face-Off, this multiplayer mode ditches the high intensity, “don’t get shot in the back” nature of a normal multiplayer match in favor of a more intimate 1v1 or 2v2 experience. Obviously many of the maps included with the previous Content Drops or that shipped with Modern Warfare 3 don’t exactly lend themselves to smaller player numbers, so Infinity Ward is also releasing four new, smaller maps this month....

Remedy Entertainment’s art director, Saku Lahtinen, says future games from the studio will use the live-action episodic TV format found in Quantum Break. Even though upcoming Xbox One exclusive Quantum Break is from a tried-and-true studio like Remedy Entertainment, the game is still a fairly significant gamble.
