Here’s a question for you: if you fudge something up in a game, and it doesn’t kill you so you can still continue on afterwards, albeit with the undesired outcome, do you? Or do you reload? For a long time, I reloaded. I thought that was what I was supposed to do. The games I grew up on, that’s what you did. You quick-saved, you reloaded, you got your desired outcome....
Don’t get me wrong, cartoons are wonderful. Animation has a long and beautiful history and is still one of the greatest ways to bring a story to life. As far as I’m concerned, animators deserve to be getting far more credit for their work than they currently do. Have you ever tried creating an animation? It’s an art. Cartoons are what raised me (and most post-war North American kids from the past three generations....
Some Super Smash Bros. Ultimate players have recently discovered that one of Joker’s attacks can softblock the game. When Joker from Persona 5 was announced as the first paid DLC character for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, there was only a brief animated segment showing him in action. It contained no gameplay footage, so fans began to speculate about his moveset. The most obvious move choice for Joker was that his Final Smash would be the All-Out Attack from Persona 5, which involves all members of the Phantom Thieves on the field attacking the enemy at once and ends with an image of Joker pulling his sleeve, with the text “The Show’s Over” written on the of the screen....
Mortal Kombat 11’s newest DLC character, the Joker, was released just yesterday, and players are now busy learning the intricacies of the fighter and determining just how powerful he is. While preliminary opinions on the new MK11 DLC character suggest that he is quite a strong combatant, some fans have noticed that something seems a bit off with the Joker, and indeed it appears that his throws are currently bugged....

It’s not uncommon in this pop culture day and age for a woman-centric show to market around its on-screen feminist ideals… as it should. But it’s much rarer for female-led shows to put their money where their mouth is behind the scenes, not only with women in positions of creative authority, but in systems that actively support and foster the promotion of new talent in those highest of creative roles....
Players will be resuming their fight on Helghan in Killzone 3, even though it was kind-of mission accomplished at the end of Killzone 2. You killed Visari, which was the greater mission, but now there’s a vie for power up for grabs.

Hideo Kojima has shot down rumours that Kojima Productions may be acquired by PlayStation. It was Sony itself that sparked speculation after a ResetEra user noticed that the banner topping PlayStation Studios’ website had been updated to include Sam Bridges from Kojima’s Death Stranding game. The banner also included a shot of Bluepoint’s Demon’s Soul remake, which was acquired by Sony last year. Despite the fervour, the banner has not been taken down, suggesting its change was neither premature nor accidental....

It’s a stretch to say that anything could ‘save’ the MCU. The franchise is too strong to be considered needing any saving and Avengers 4’s guaranteed box office destruction will confirm this idea. The MCU can seemingly do no wrong at this point, or rather ever since 2012’s The Avengers took stage. The gigantic success of that film was unprecedented; for a superhero film that wasn’t grounded into realism as The Dark Knight was to tick all the right requirements was magnanimous to say the least....
Marvel’s Midnight Suns’ superhero crew is expanding by one on 26th January, when Deadpool enters the fray as the acclaimed strategy game’s first paid DLC addition.

However, publisher 2K confirmed shortly before release that Midnight Suns’ line-up would begin to expand in early 2023, when Deadpool arrived in the first of four planned post-launch DLC packs....
In celebration of N7 Day, BioWare released yet another image that teases the studio’s upcoming Mass Effect game, featuring oodles of little details, such as a mass relay being built, ships like the Ark, and an unknown planet below. However, the image is only a single still from a 25-second video, which, when downloaded, has accompanying audio. Untrained ears would simply write it off as science-fiction noises and static, but of course, it’s never that simple....

Legendary horror novelist Stephen King and his son, the acclaimed horror and comic book author Joe Hill, have collaborated twice on the page, each time coming up with something memorably creepy and squarely in what one could probably call the family tradition. The second of those two tales, In the Tall Grass, has now been made into a feature-length film for Netflix by director and writer Vincenzo Natali, the Canadian director who first got on the map in 1997 with the mind-twisting Cube....
There are a lot of great ways to promote a game, but the best way by far is to transform fans into a robotic mercenary that’s programmed to follow the orders of corporate overlords. However, since technological limitations get in the way of that, the creators of Apex Legends released an Instagram filter that turns fans into Revenant – so, pretty much the same thing. The filter, which can be accessed here, overlays a 3D model of the character onto the user’s face, and plays quotes from the game whenever the user gets close to the screen....
