Not too long ago, the video game developer NetherRealm Studios released a story trailer which confirmed that the likes of Erron Black, Jacqui Briggs, and Cassie Cage would be making their return in the forthcoming fighting game Mortal Kombat 11. Now, the company has decided to release a fresh piece of gameplay footage that highlights the daughter of Sonya Blade and Johnny Cage in action, with Cassie Cage taking center stage in combat....
While many fans likely believed that Mortal Kombat 11 Aftermath was the end of the road for the hit fighting game, NetherRealm Studios continued to tease even more content was on the way. Led by Ed Boon, the studio put out all sorts of clues and other hints that sent the community into a frenzy of speculation. Finally, after weeks of hinting at new characters, NetherRealm Studios reveals a new trailer for Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate and a fresh influx of new content....
This article contains some Ms. Marvel episode 1 spoilers. It’s no secret that changing Kamala Khan’s powers has been a big deal to Ms. Marvel fans. In the lead-up to the Disney+ show’s premiere, just about every trailer release or behind-the-scenes photo drop has been accompanied by speculation about the Jersey City hero’s power set and what changes to them mean for her story, thematically. We spoke with the executive producers/directors of the first episode Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah; Kamala Khan herself, Iman Vellani; and heard from the creative minds behind the show at a virtual press conference to get the scoop on Ms....
Not all game concepts make it to market, and Oscuro: The Mystery of Hab-12 is a documentary centered on a particularly mysterious title. Massimiliano Camassa, known on YouTube as Cheeken, showcases the ill-fated 3rd person space adventure Hab-12 with help from some of the original developers. Ratloop Games started development for Hab-12 in February of 1998, but the project was officially suspended around July of 1999. Over 20 years later, it is the subject of a film which will dig into the circumstances leading to the creation of Hab-12, the process of game development, and the circumstances which led to the title’s eventual scrapping....
Love it or loath it, the original Tomb Raider played a pivotal role in the popularization and development of the action adventure genre. It’s inspired countless other franchises over the years, although none have been quite as impressive as Naughty Dog’s Uncharted series. Much like Tomb Raider itself, Uncharted features some great puzzles, some wonderful locations and is incredibly reliant on the strength of its main protagonist. Just as Lara Croft had done for Tomb Raider almost a decade prior, Nathan Drake really helped to sell the Uncharted experience and is a big part of what makes the series so fantastic to play....
Neil Druckmann just became the top dog at The Last of Us Part 2 studio Naughty Dog as the now appointed Co-President of the company. The writer/director of the company’s latest magnum opus has been given the role after almost three years serving as Vice President. The Co-President spot was last filled by Christophe Balestra, who left Naughty Dog in 2017. Now, both Evan Wells and Druckmann will be overlooking the critically acclaimed studio....
If there’s one thing gamers can rely on when it comes the forthcoming release of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End it’s that the game will be gorgeous. Naughty Dog has a longstanding history of leveraging every ounce of the PlayStation platform to deliver some of the most impressive console releases ever seen. And with Uncharted 4 having the new power of the PS4 at its fingertips, it’s only appropriate that the game push that level of fidelity even further....
A new Battlefield game typically comes out every other year or so, but 2020 won’t see a new game in the long-running first-person shooter franchise. However, it’s now been confirmed by DICE that a new Battlefield game will launch at some point in 2021, and what’s more, it’s going to be developed for next-generation consoles. DICE made this announcement shortly after it confirmed that the next content updates for Battlefield V and Star Wars Battlefront 2 would be their last....
About a month ago, Kingdom Hearts 3 director Tetsuya Nomura admitted he believes that the sequel was announced too early, even though Square Enix did so in order to prevent leaks and rumors from happening. Nevertheless, Nomura also said that development for the the forthcoming action-RPG is now moving along well, and as a means of paying homage to the character that has helped facilitate the KH series, the sequel has now released a new promotional trailer celebrating 90 years of Disney’s mascot Mickey Mouse....
A list of new streaming releases on Netflix, what a concept! Netflix’s list of new releases for April 2022 is highlighted by the return of one of the great sci-fi comedies ever. Natasha Lyonne is set to return as the temporally displaced Nadia on Russian Doll season 2 on April 20. The first season of the show premiered in 2019 and appeared to tell a rather complete story about one Brooklyn woman’s experiences of dying over and over again....
Pokemon GO players have been battling Team GO Rocket Grunts for months now, but Shadow Legendary Pokemon remain scarce nonetheless. That said, players can now look forward to rescuing the powerful Psychic-type, Mewtwo, from Team GO Rocket’s clutches, thanks to Niantic’s latest update. Players who log on to Pokemon GO will now be able to find “An Inter-egg-sting Development” on the Special tab of their Field Research menu. What’s more, an entirely new set of event bonuses (The Seasons Change: Part 2) has taken effect as well, allowing players to easily complete the Special Research by taking advantage of perks like increased Team GO Rocket balloon spawns....
Smartless is a new podcast hosted by Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and Sean Hayes which promises to give fans genuine and honest insight into various pop culture topics. The trio plan on setting themselves apart by adding in an interesting twist to their interviews: only one of the three will know who’s being interviewed before the episode. This added element should create much more genuine dialogue between the three and whoever their celebrity guest winds up being as two of the hosts will not have been able to prepare questions....
Many have been pleased with the announcement of the Xbox Series S because of its low price, impressive specs, and relatively solid game roster when used with the Xbox Game Pass. The Series S had been rumored for a long time and while many had assumed it would be a slimmer and less powerful console, no one was sure to what extent. It is the slimmest console that Xbox has produced and in a video, it was revealed that it was small and mighty when running games....
Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa, who took over as company head in June 2018, succeeding Tatsumi Kimishima, is currently reviewing Nintendo’s latest financial reports and developing long-term plans for Nintendo Switch. In a recent interview with Nikkei, he detailed Nintendo’s current strategy, which does not include cloud gaming. In the past, Furukawa has stated that cloud gaming is a “long way off,” even though games like Control simply wouldn’t be on Nintento Switch without the cloud....
I won’t bore you by praising The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. At this point, it has been named “the best ever” by a bunch of blogs and publications, while others have named it “most overrated”. No matter which side you take, just know that for better or worse, Ocarina of Time has been played by a lot of people, influenced a bunch more, and is going to be talked about until the heat death of the universe....
Due to Octopath Traveler’s recent release on Xbox Game Pass, hype has resurfaced for the classic JRPG. I’m stoked to see many new players getting into Octopath Traveler, but I’m less stoked about seeing all the hype for Primrose’s storyline again. Primrose’s story includes plenty of attractive elements—she’s a dancer who seeks revenge for the murder of her father. This is already enough to draw in many (myself included). Later in the story, there are also several plot twists and interesting characters involved that make her path even more appealing....
Oculus has stopped selling VR headsets in Germany due to discussions with federal authorities. You can no longer buy an Oculus VR headset in Germany. Facebook has voluntarily pulled the product from German retailers today in a move that seems related to the recent Oculus update that would require all new users to sign up for a Facebook account. Last month, Oculus announced new changes to the way users experience games in VR....
The Internet exploded in March when Mark Zuckerberg announced on his Facebook account that the social media giant was acquiring Oculus VR, the leader in virtual reality technology. Luckily for gamers, Zuckerberg shared in his announcement that “Immersive gaming will be the first [experience for users], and Oculus already has big plans here that won’t be changing and we hope to accelerate.” Despite Zuckerberg’s excitement for Oculus VR to continue along its gaming path, a lot of supporters were upset or at least concerned by the purchase....
Tom Clancy’s The Division is arguably the biggest gaming release of 2016 so far. Find out if one writer thinks it’s one of the rare games that lived up to all the hype. For the past couple of years, most games that I am hyped for before release end up falling short of my expectations. I think the most recent and significant example would be Fallout 4. Ever since Bethesda’s epic Fallout 4 E3 2015 presentation, I had been hyped to extreme levels for the game....
While Tatiana Maslany has mostly leant her talents to TV, she is far from just a “small screen” actor. Whether She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is the first time you’re seeing the Canadian actress showcase her skills, or if you’ve been a fan of hers since before she joined the Clone Club, there’s no denying that she is truly one of the greatest actors out there. Maslany has played a wide range of characters so far (and I’m not just talking about Orphan Black) that prove what a talented performer she is....
