Rainbow Six Siege had a brief downtime on PC to implement a new patch with a number of fixes. The 4.2 update (aka Y4S4.2) is now live on PC, with a PS4 and Xbox One release date to be announced.The main focus of the patch is the so-called "Clash Exploit," a game-breaking bug that made the shielded operator overpowered. The exploit allowed players to fire her secondary weapon while her shield was still up, which made her almost unstoppable. Ubisoft disabled her temporarily while it worked out a fix, so with this patch live she'll be playable again on all platforms.The full patch notes also list a number of other fixes, including smaller-scale fixes to various operators, level design, and UI. You can check out the full patch notes below.Meanwhile, the Siege team is undergoing some significant leadership changes, as game directors Xavier Marquis and Alexandre Remy recently announced they were stepping back to work on other projects. The new game director, Leroy Athanassoff, will be leading the project going forward. We already know Ubisoft plans to bring the game to PS5 and Xbox Series X. A separate team is currently working on the PvE spin-off Rainbow Six Quarantine.Rainbow Six Siege Y4S4.2 PatchBUGFIXESFIXED - Clash exploitThe Clash exploit is fixed with this patch and we will be re-enabling her on live for each platform as 4.2 goes out.

Netflix is one of the biggest, most popular streaming services currently available. And every week, new content is released from movies to TV shows to original programming. So what's headed to Netflix this week? Well, there's something new coming out every day for the week of January 12-18, so check out the full list of releases below, along with a few recommendations.On Sunday, a new documentary about one of America's favorite comedic actors arrives. Betty White: First Lady of Television chronicles the life of White, spending nearly 80 years working as an actor and producer in television. The PBS documentary aired last year, and aside from documenting her rise in the industry, the film also features interviews with Valerie Bertinelli, Georgia Engel, Tina Fey, and Ryan Reynolds.There are a couple of Netflix originals that may pique your interest coming this week. On Wednesday, Season 6 of Grace and Frankie arrives. The series follows two women who become friends after their husbands leave them, for each other. The show has been nominated for numerous Emmy awards but has yet to win one. Also, Season 4 of Hip-Hop Evolution hits the service on Friday. The series covers the birth and growth of the hip-hop music genre, and it's a more in-depth look than we've ever seen before.

Bynes plays Kaylee, and her character didn't get a last name.

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot releases this Friday, January 17 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Kakarot has the potential to appeal to both longtime Dragon Ball Z fans and newcomers, as the open-world action RPG retells the story of Goku and the Z Fighters. If you haven't secured your pre-order just yet, you have a number of enticing options to choose from.Target has the best Kakarot deal for PS4 and Xbox One. Not only is Target knocking the price down from $60 to $51, but the retailer is also giving away a Banpresto action figure ($10 value) while supplies last. While the $51 price is good both online and in stores, you can only get Banpresto with in-store purchases. Unfortunately, you can't order for online for in-store pickup at this time, so you'll either have to head to your local store to pre-order or simply go on launch day to make your purchase.Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot with Banpresto action figure, exclusively at TargetIf you don't feel like going to Target or don't care about Banpresto, you can save on your Kakarot pre-order at Amazon and Walmart as well.

Those who pre-order the PS4 or Xbox One version will receive two months of FunimationNow Premium Plus. Funimation is one of the leading streaming services for anime, and a two-month subscription normally costs $16. While Best Buy is selling the game for $60, there's a good chance you'll be able to take advantage of the retailer's price-match guarantee program to get the price lowered to $50. Best Buy matches local retailer prices (such as Walmart) and big online retailers (like Amazon).GameStop is giving away an exclusive Goku Figpin--a handcrafted enamel pin--with PS4 and Xbox One pre-orders, both in stores and online.

Sony is pushing forward with its Marvel-character universe that has nothing to do with the MCU. 2018's Venom raked in over $850 million globally. Now, the second installment in Sony's Marvel franchise is Morbius, starring Jared Leto as the titular vampire. We got a look at the character over the weekend through a leaked photo, but now the first trailer has been released.In the new trailer, which you can check out below, Leto plays Dr. Michael Morbius, a biochemist who learned he had a rare blood disease. He tries to heal himself but ultimately ends up turning him into a vampire, gaining fantastic abilities, at a cost: he has a need to feed on human blood.The living vampire Morbius made his Marvel Comics debut back in 1971 appearing in Amazing Spider-Man #101. While this isn't a part of the MCU, there are a few moments that have us scratching our heads, like a Spider-Man poster labelled "Murderer" appearing in the background and the inclusion of Michael Keaton, who played Vulture in Spider-Man: Homecoming. There's no way to tell if he's reprising his role from Homecoming in the trailer, but it's interesting nonetheless.Jared Leto released a photo when production began back in 2019, but there wasn't much going on in it. Morbius will be directed by Daniel Espinosa (Life, Safe House), and joining Leto in the cast is Matt Smith (Doctor Who) as Loxias Crown, Adria Arjona (True Detective), Tyrese Gibson (Fast & Furious series) as Simon Stroudm, and Jared Harris (The Terror) in an unnamed role.Morbius arrives in theaters on July 31, 2020.

The nominations for the 2020 Oscars have been announced, with movies such as Joker, The Irishman, Parasite, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood all securing multiple nominations. There have been a few surprises amongst the 92nd Academy Awards nominees, such as recognition for Parasite outside of the expected International Film category and the cinematography nomination for The Lighthouse. However, even more surprising are some of the omissions.Perhaps the highest-profile snub is for Adam Sandler and his role in the crime thriller Uncut Gems. Sandler has been highly acclaimed for his performance as New York jeweller Howard Ratner, and many thought he would score his first Oscar nomination for the role. In fact, Sandler himself stated that he would deliberately make a terrible movie if he didn't get a nod. Sadly for him--and possibly us--that nomination didn't happen.The comedy-drama The Farewell has proved to be one of 2019's biggest independent successes but was entirely absent from the nominations. Star Awkwafina's omission is particularly surprising given she won a Golden Globe for the movie earlier this month, and writer/director Lulu Wang was also snubbed.Awkwafina is not the only actress to deliver a much-praised performance in 2019 and then be ignored by the Academy. Jennifer Lopez won the best reviews of her acting career for the crime drama Hustlers but has had no awards recognition at all. Similarly, Lupita Nyong'o's astonishing dual role in Jordan Peele's horror hit Us was also snubbed. In an earlier decade, it wouldn't perhaps be surprising that a horror movie is ignored by the Academy, but Peele's Get Out was an Oscar-winner in 2018, and Nyong'o herself won Best Supporting Actress for 12 Years a Slave in 2013.Another high-profile omission was director Greta Gerwig, for her adaptation of Little Women. The movie itself has been nominated five times--including Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay--but Gerwig was not recognized as director. This was also the case at the Golden Globe Awards earlier this month, leading to criticism about the exclusion of female filmmakers from the Best Director category.Of course, every year throws up surprises and snubs, and it's worth remembering that the Oscar nominations are voted on by thousands of Academy members. But some of this year's omissions do seems more glaring than in previous years, especially given the number of notable female and non-white contenders that were not on the nominee list. The 92nd Academy Awards will take place on Sunday, February 9.Info from Gamespot.com

Sony has released the first trailer from Morbius, the upcoming movie starring Jared Leto as the titular Marvel character. Due to Sony owning the rights to various Spider-Man-related characters, this was--like Venom--expected to be another movie starring a Marvel character that is entirely unrelated to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But the Morbius trailer suggests some connections to the MCU that we weren't expecting, with appearances of sorts from Spider-Man and Michael Keaton.Toward the end of the trailer, Leto's character, Dr. Michael Morbius, is seen walking down the street. In the background, we can see an image of Spider-Man with the word "murderer" spray-painted over the top of it. This could be nothing, or it could suggest Morbius will include some kind of continuation from the most recent MCU movie, Spider-Man: Far From Home. In a post-credits scene, Quentin Beck sets up Peter Parker by releasing doctored footage that suggests Parker killed Beck in cold blood--hence the graffiti. (Also of note: the Spider-Man artwork appears to be from Insomniac's Spider-Man PS4 game and feature a suit worn by Spidey in the Sam Raimi films.)Another possible connection comes at the very end, when a character played by Michael Keaton has a brief interaction with Morbius. Keaton, of course, played Adrian Toomes (AKA Vulture) in Spider-Man: Homecoming. It's impossible to say from this Morbius trailer if he is indeed playing the same character, but we do know he's still kicking around, as the conclusion of Homecoming sees him land in jail.It's possible that these are minor touches that won't have much bearing on the MCU, but it's still more than we expected to see. Perhaps these connections were part of the deal between Sony and Marvel/Disney that allowed Spider-Man to rejoin the MCU last year, or maybe they were always going to be included. If Keaton is playing Vulture but will go unnamed, and this is all just a cute game Sony's playing, it could lead to some confusion on the part of the audience. Whatever the case, it does raise new questions about just what is and isn't MCU canon.

Update: Rockstar has clarified why Grand Theft Auto IV is no longer available to purchase on Steam. A spokesperson for the company shared the following statement with GameSpot:"Grand Theft Auto IV was originally created for the Games For Windows Live platform. With Microsoft no longer supporting Games For Windows Live, it is no longer possible to generate the additional keys needed to continue selling the current version of the game. We are looking at other options for distributing GTAIV for PC and will share more information as soon as we can."The original story follows.For reasons that are not clear, Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto IV is no longer available to purchase on Steam. A member of the ResertEra forum recently discovered that the Steam page for GTA IV no longer has a purchase button where it once was.The page does not offer any insight into why this is the case. Rockstar Games could not be reached for comment at press time.People are speculating that this has something to do with music licensing or how GTA IV still requires a Games For Windows Live account. Others are guessing that Rockstar might be moving GTA IV from Steam to its own Rockstar Launcher. For now, the real reason why GTA IV is no longer available to buy on Steam remains a mystery.PC Gamer reminds us that Rockstar removed GTA Vice City from Steam for a brief period of time in 2012 due to a copyright claim related to the Michael Jackson song "Wanna Be Startin' Something."Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas remain available for purchase on Steam. It's also worth noting that those who already own GTA IV on Steam can continue to play the title.Info from Gamespot.com

It will still be a while before viewers get to see Showtime's Halo TV series debut, but it's actually, officially happening now. After it was revealed in December that production had begun on the upcoming show, Showtime president of entertainment Gary Levine has shared a quick update.Appearing at the TCA winter press tour, Levine revealed that he and his fellow president of Entertainment Jana Winograde had recently traveled to the set of the series, noting it is "is currently shooting all over the city of Budapest." Unfortunately, there was no footage from the series to screen, but Levine and Winograde did come with the first photo of Pablo Schreiber in costume as Master Chief.Unfortunately, the image was for viewing in the room only and will not be released widely at this point. In the photo, Chief is seated on a ship in his full armor--helmet included. According to Levine, it's Schreiber in the costume, which looks like a spot-on recreation of Chief's classic armor.There's been a lot of discussion over whether Master Chief will unmask at some point, revealing Schreiber's face. Of course, in the games, Chief never removes his helmet. When asked by GameSpot about whether viewers will see Chief's face in 2018, Levine offered, "It is a key question and an important part of our series is all I'll say."After the success of The Mandalorian, which saw Pedro Pascal remain entirely hidden under a Mandalorian helmet, save for one small scene in the Season 1 finale, it seems entirely possible we will never actually see Chief's face.Of course, Schreiber isn't the only cast member in the Showtime series. We have a detailed breakdown of the announced cast you can check out. However, the most notable character, after Chief, is Natasha McElhone as Dr. Catherine Halsey/Cortana. The artificial intelligence that guides Chief on his journeys will play a big role in the series.While there's no release date for Halo announced at this point, it's expected to debut on Showtime in 2021.Info from Gamespot.com

Apex Legends players thought they may have caught a glimpse of a teaser for the coming season, but it turned out to simply be a very unusual bug. A falling object that appeared to be a meteor was actually an error involving Gibraltar's Ultimate ability.GamesRadar reports that the rumors have been swirling since October, when several players started seeing a meteor falling from the sky. At least one captured and shared the sight, and it certainly looks like a meteor streaking through the sky and crashing into the ground.Anyone else spotted this??? Please Share #apexlegends #season3 pic.twitter.com/qyCfAW0kmr — c3sour (@c3sourstreams) October 17, 2019The fan community has been working to understand the sight, and Reddit user PenPineapplePen recently discovered how to reliably replicate the bug.
