Footage of an unreleased sequel to Mirror’s Edge has resurfaced, giving fans a glimpse of what was planned for the Mirror’s Edge series nearly a decade ago. Revealed in a YouTube video by V., the brief footage showcases protagonist Faith taking down a police officer and looking onto a vast city landscape. Mirror’s Edge 2, a sequel that was canned in 2011 by EA, made it as far as the prototyping stage before development stopped....
Warhammer: Odyssey is officially available around the globe after releasing in select regions last December. Virtual Realms’ mobile MMO will see continuous changes in the coming months, as it works to balance classes and add more content. Several improvements and additions were made to Odyssey prior to its global launch. This includes two new maps – Wasteland and Marienburg Suid – along with an increased level cap. Warhammer: Odyssey was first introduced in 2019, promising to bring an authentic MMO experience to the mobile platform....
Spider-Man: Far From Home may have just premiered in theaters (and dominated the holiday weekend box office), but that doesn’t mean the Spider-Man PS4 game has just dropped off the face of the world. In fact, not only does Spider-Man: Far From Home have a Spider-Man PS4 Easter egg, but Jeopardy also referenced the popular open-world adventure game in a recent episode. In the episode, host Alex Trebek is asking one of the contestants to identify the graphic logo of the PlayStation and name drops the Spider-Man PS4 game in the question....
If the original 1978 Halloween was the only movie on his resume, John Carpenter would be a genre legend for that alone. But no, this is also the man who made Assault on Precinct 13, The Fog, The Thing, Escape from New York, Prince of Darkness, They Live, and many more — a run of classic movies that few directors working in horror and sci-fi have matched since. Right now, however, we’re talking about the new Halloween, which discards the torturous mythology of seven previous sequels and acts as a direct follow-up to the original film, focusing on Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) as she deals with the still traumatic effects of her encounter with Michael Myers some 40 years later....
Sales of physical PS5 games in the UK last week suggest that customers picked up a win over scalpers following 2021’s first wave of new consoles. New consoles are almost always hard to come by when first released. However, the launch of the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S has been something else entirely. The usual struggle to land a console has been exacerbated due to a number of reasons. Most notably the pandemic, and also the increased ability of bots and scalpers to buy up consoles before genuine customers have the chance....
Considering the circumstances under which it was produced, Justice League–the long-awaited crossover of the DC film universe’s cornerstone characters–is arguably better than it has any right to be. The film was started and saw its principal photography completed under the direction of Zack Snyder, who launched into it right after finishing the polarizing Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. But a terrible family tragedy forced Snyder to step aside before Justice League was locked down, and Warner Bros....
The most obvious choice to present something at The Game Awards just finally made his entrance. Keanu Reeves is the latest celebrity to add their name to gaming’s biggest awards ceremony, and we are 100% unsurprised. Cyberpunk 2077 arrives at midnight tonight at Keanu Reeves is the star of that game’s show. Following his “breathtaking” performance at E3 2019, there’s really no way Keanu could skip The Game Awards in 2020, even though Cyberpunk 2077 won’t be eligible to take home best anything at this year’s awards ceremony....
Things can seem grim while immersed in the day-to-day news cycle and social media routine, especially these days, when happy stories seem harder and harder to find. While it’s important to stay active and informed, it can also be overwhelming. When times are hard, it can be helpful to find that youthful spirit that lifts people up even in the face of adversity, and sometimes there’s nothing more uplifting than a simple, earnest kids movie....
Conviction does not always mean conclusion. Homicide investigators, by necessity, move on to their next case after the one they worked is closed. Investigation Discovery’s Killer In Question explores what happens when a killer is convicted, but the true culprit is still on the loose? The new four-episode limited series premieres on Sunday, Nov. 1, at 9 p.m. “When a murder is committed, it sends shockwaves through a community,” reads the press statement....
When it was first announced back at E3 2013, Kingdom Hearts 3 took the roof off of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Sure, Sony had plenty of exciting announcements planned for their press conference, but it was the return of Sora, Donald, and Goofy that seemed to draw the loudest applause. That being said, Kingdom Hearts 3’s announcement came with a lot of questions. Since only a brief CG trailer accompanied the reveal, many were wondering how far along into development the sequel might be, and more importantly when they might see it on store shelves....
Square Enix stealthily dropped some news of its own among other publishers’ E3 presentations. It took the form of a short trailer for the first Kingdom Hearts III DLC ReMind. In less than a minute and a half, the footage managed to tease more lore about the game’s secret villain, show new Keyblades for Sora, and confirm the return of playable Roxas. That’s right, the long-lost Nobody will finally be controllable in all his dual-wielding glory....
Originally released for PC in 2015, Knight Squad - from developer Chainsawesome Games - has made its way to Nintendo Switch, bringing its chaotic multiplayer action to the portable console. One of the most notable features of Knight Squad is its ability to allow up to eight players to play at once in the top-down, Bomberman-style arenas. This extends to the Nintendo Switch release, which also includes the game modes and characters that were released in the previously released Extra Chivalrous DLC, with modes such as Team Capture the Flag, Last Man Standing, Capture the Grail, Domination Soccer, and Juggernaut, just to name a few....
Koei Tecmo announced a number of new and returning characters for Samurai Warriors 5 during a live stream this morning and one just so happens to be Yasuke, a.k.a. The Obsidian Samurai. Known for his devout protection of lord Oda Nobunaga, it’s always been something of a glaring omission in past Samurai Warriors titles that Yasuke wasn’t present. Likely due to his presence in Nioh and Nioh 2, he’s now getting a chance to join in on the Warriors mayhem....
On June 19, Naughty Dog released the long-awaited sequel in its survival thriller series, The Last of Us Part 2. The game boasts an expansive world, which allows players to feel as if they are actually exploring the overgrown city of Seattle. This semi-open world style of gameplay differs from previous Naughty Dog games, as it does not clearly tell players where to go, but rather forces them to explore the world as completely as possible....
Left 4 Dead 3 may or may not be in the process of development, but it’s important that Valve understands the risks of changing a winning formula too much. It may only be the beginning of 2016, but we have already been on the receiving end of the first Valve sequel rumor of the year. For once, this hasn’t been the result of another whisper of the much-wanted Half Life 3, although fans of the seminal FPS franchise may enjoy the recent announcement of a fan-made follow-up to Half-Life 2....
As the Marvel Cinematic Universe grows, it gains opportunities to include some in-universe Easter eggs to make its continuity feel more lived in. The most recent Marvel TV series for Disney+, Hawkeye, goes so far as to include a full-blown Broadway musical featuring the exploits of that world’s Avengers. But while Rogers: The Musical is a fun extra feature for fans to pore over, there’s another Marvel property from the recent past that understands the power of good old-fashioned singin’ and dancin’ more than any other superhero project....
LEGO, the (expensive) buildable blocks everyone knows and loves, is now a big part of video gaming. From Batman and Star Wars to Harry Potter and Pirates of the Caribbean, more and more official licenses are getting the silent/creative digital treatment as LEGO-based video games. LEGO has a policy with their toys to keep out modern weapons so this is the reason you don’t see guns and such in their toy lines and why Halo is with Mega Bloks....
