Luigi's Mansion 3 launches on Nintendo Switch later this week. This installment of the series takes the cowardly plumber to the Last Resort, a towering hotel filled with tons of ghosts and collectibles to find, but how long does it take to work your way through the adventure?We've played through Luigi's Mansion 3 prior to writing our review, and it took us approximately 18 hours to clear the main story mode. We played through the game very leisurely and tracked down most--but not all--of the special gems hidden on each floor, so your individual playtime will vary depending on how thoroughly you scour the hotel.In addition to the main story, Luigi's Mansion 3 features two dedicated multiplayer modes that will extend its longevity. First is ScareScraper, which was originally introduced in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. The mode plays out very similarly to the 3DS game, challenging players with clearing floors of a tower within a time limit. Each floor has a different objective; some will ask you to defeat all the ghosts, while others will task you with finding Toads and bring them back to a safe point.On top of that, Luigi's Mansion 3 introduces a new multiplayer mode called ScreamPark. This is a local-only party mode that pits two teams against each other in mini-games. At launch, there are three different mini-games to choose from; you can take a closer look at ScreamPark in Nintendo's extended gameplay demo. Nintendo will release additional content for ScareScraper and ScreamPark as paid DLC, but the company hasn't announced what that will be or when it'll arrive.Luigi's Mansion 3 releases, fittingly enough, on October 31. We awarded it an 8/10 in our Luigi's Mansion 3 review and called it "perhaps the best installment in the series yet." If you can't wait to get your hands on the game, you can at least keep yourself amused with this terrifying (but free) printable Gooigi mask until it launches later this week.Info from Gamespot.com

Fortnite: Battle Royale appears to be teasing another Halloween event, with the return of "Fornitemares." An image on the official Twitter account shows a spooky masked image with the caption "Face Your Fears." It also drops a time to expect the event: October 29 at 9 AM ET.Aside from that, though, the image doesn't give much clue what to expect from this year's event.

In this week's sale, Amazon is doing what it does best: copying another store's offer and making it even better. There's a huge buy two, get one free sale available right now at Target, and you can find the same offer at Amazon, albeit with different product options. Target's B2G1 sale focuses mainly on books, movies, music, toys, and board games, while Amazon's sale has way more to offer on the video game side of things. Both are worth checking out, depending on your interests, but the game deals, in particular, are worth browsing.First off, we should note that Amazon's offer page for this particular sale is misleading. The top of the page explains the limited-time offer as "buy 3 items, get 1 item free," but what it means is that when you add three items to your cart, one of them will be free. In checkout, you'll see the cost of the lowest-priced item subtracted from your overall order. So, for example, if you buy three $60 games, you'll save $60 on the overall order, but if you buy two $60 games and one $40 game, you'll save $40. With that in mind, choose your bundle wisely.Amazon's sale includes brand-new releases like The Outer Worlds and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, both of which are full-priced at $60. Madden NFL 20 is available as well and on sale for $45.68. Some of the best games released earlier this year are up for grabs too--don't miss out on A Plague Tale: Innocence for $39.82, Resident Evil 2 for $35.55, and Devil May Cry 5 for $35.93. Catherine: Full Body, the enhanced PS4 port of the popular 2011 game, is on sale for $46, and the launch edition comes with a gorgeous steelbook case.While this sale will likely run all week (based on Target's schedule), these B2G1 sales have a way of selling out the best deals quickly, so don't wait if you've been eyeing any of these games. You can check out the full offering of games in this sale at Amazon and see some of our picks from the sale below.See all B2G1 deals at AmazonAmazon's Buy 2, Get 1 Free Sale: Best Game DealsThe Outer Worlds (PS4) -- $60Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (PS4, Xbox One) -- $60Madden NFL 20 (PS4, Xbox One) -- $45 (PS4), $50.81 (Xbox One)Devil May Cry 5 (PS4) -- $35.93 ($60)Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch (Switch) -- $41.86Resident Evil 2 (Xbox One) -- $35.55Catherine: Full Body Launch Edition (PS4) -- $46Resident Evil Origins Collection (Switch) -- $40Killer Queen Black (Switch) -- $30A Plague Tale: Innocence (PS4) -- $39.82Dragon Quest XI (PS4) -- $36.94Cytus Alpha (Switch) -- $35Code Vein (PS4) -- $49.94No Man's Sky (Xbox One) -- $23.14Dragon Ball FighterZ (Switch) -- $38Info from Gamespot.com

The most-anticipated Disney+ original series of this year is Star Wars: The Mandalorian, an upcoming show that drops on Day One of the new streaming service, November 12. And we're getting a new trailer for the upcoming series tonight. But where will it air?The official Mandalorian Twitter account tweeted out that a new trailer will be arriving tonight, and the video attached features the stars of the show Pedro Pascal, Gina Carano, and Carl Weathers reacting to tonight's trailer. You can watch for yourself below..@PedroPascal1, @GinaCarano, and @TheCarlWeathers got a sneak peek of the new trailer for #TheMandalorian. Experience it for yourself tonight. pic.twitter.com/CAd0XkWsJc — The Mandalorian (@themandalorian) October 28, 2019The teaser doesn't say where you'll be able to watch the trailer, but we're guessing that it will air during Monday Night Football. Last week, the latest trailer for Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker aired during the NFL game, and considering these games air on ESPN, and ESPN is owned by Disney, it's a safe bet The Mandalorian trailer will air there first.If you don't feel like waiting around through an NFL game, don't worry. The trailer will probably be available on Star Wars' YouTube channel after it airs on television. Star Wars News Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker Runtime Makes It The Longest Star Wars Movie Ever New Star Wars 9 Trailer Arrives Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker Tickets On Sale Now The next two months are huge for the Star Wars franchise, with The Mandalorian coming to Disney+ on November 12 and The Rise of Skywalker landing on December 20. There is another Disney+ original series beginning in production in 2020 based on Obi-Wan Kenobi starring Ewan McGregor as well. Additionally, there are Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker rides being added to theme parks in December of this year and January of 2020.Come back to GameSpot later this evening to check out The Mandalorian trailer.Info from Gamespot.com

Following Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Breakpoint's "very disappointing" sales, Ubisoft has officially detailed some plans to bring the looter-shooter into a more stable form of play, confirming it has "a lot of work" to do.Ubisoft said its vision for Ghost Recon Breakpoint is to provide players with "a gritty and authentic military experience." To do this, the company is working on "a more radical and immersive version" of the looter-shooter that will allow you to "tailor your experience." There's nothing set in stone on this front, but Ubisoft said it will "keep [players] updated as we progress."The first order of business revolves around technical issues. Ubisoft is aware of the numerous bugs and glitches players have encountered since Ghost Recon Breakpoint launched on October 4 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. And as such, the company is preparing to release two separate updates for the looter-shooter in November that will "[focus] on the most pressing issues." These include fixing Drone deployment, changing the fire rate, addressing night vision googles blocking crosshairs, and patching the Mission Completion notification pop-up.Though the company hasn't provided any definitive release dates for the game's post-launch content, Ubisoft is "dedicated to supporting Ghost Recon Breakpoint in the long term with plenty of post-launch content and special events to keep the world constantly growing and evolving." This includes December's Project Titan raid and the Terminator live event, which launches sometime following the raid.Ubisoft is also making changes to Ghost Recon Breakpoint's in-game economy, stating that adjustments are being made to ensure "the experience for players [is] more comfortable." Ubisoft hasn't specified what these changes are or when these changes will be implemented.Elsewhere in the blog, Ubisoft has once again confirmed that AI teammates will make a return in Ghost Recon Breakpoint. With some of the other plans taking precedent, the company admitted that "adding back AI Teammates to the game is a major undertaking that will still require time." No release date has been given for when AI teammates will appear.Ghost Recon Breakpoint has received a fairly lukewarm reception since its launch earlier this month. Alongside a myriad of critics who scored the game lower on the scale, we gave the looter-shooter a 4/10, saying, "It's essentially every Ubisoft open-world game rolled into one, failing to excel in any one area or establish its own identity. Breakpoint is a messy, confused game and a ghost of the series' former self."Info from Gamespot.com

Blizzard has announced its schedule for BlizzCon, which is set to take place this weekend, starting on November 1. Though the schedule doesn't give specific announcements, it does give insight as to when to tune in for the possibility of news and announcements.The festivities will kick off as usual with the opening ceremony on November 1 at 11 AM PT, which will be simulcast across all of its stages. Traditionally the opening ceremony is where the company outlines the broad strokes of its announcements, with individual panels throughout the weekend taking more of a deep dive.Some of those game-centric panels include a Heroes of the Storm update at 3:15 PM PT, a Hearthstone update at 5:15 PM PT. The next day, November 2, includes a World of Warcraft update at 11:15 AM PT, and an Overwatch update at 1:15 PM PT. There is no Diablo update listed throughout the weekend, but there are two art panels scheduled for 10:30 AM and 4:15 PM, respectively, on November 2.Rumors have circulated that this year's BlizzCon will include Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2, which would likely lead the announcements in the opening ceremonies if they pan out. None of that is confirmed, however.BlizzCon Highlights - November 1 (PT)Opening Ceremony - 11 AM Quarter Century of Warcraft Audio - 12:30 PMLife at Blizzard: Career, Culture, and Insights - 2 PMHeroes of the Storm Update - 3:15 PMBlizzard Animation: The Art of Setting the Scene - 4:15 PMHearthstone Update - 5:15 PMBlizzCon Highlights - November 2 (PT)Artists at Work: Diablo - 10:30 AMWorld of Warcraft Update - 11:15 AMArtists at Work: Overwatch - 12:00 PMOverwatch Update - 1:15 PMWarcraft 3: Reforged Update - 3:15 PMClosing Entertainment - 7:30 PMThe opening ceremony is usually streamed live for free to everyone, but most of the other events are locked behind the Virtual Ticket. This year the Virtual Ticket costs $50 and comes with bonus cosmetic items for each of Blizzard's big games. That includes special skins for WoW, a cardback for Hearthstone, and for the first time, skins that reference Warcraft in Overwatch.The community is also watching especially closely this year as Blizzard may attempt to respond to recent controversial moves. After last year's event faced criticism after the announcement of Diablo Immortal, this year the company banned a player for expressing support for Honk Kong protesters. That has resulted in a renewed backlash against the company, with a protest planned for the event. It will remain to be seen if Blizzard officially addresses the controversy in its panels.Info from Gamespot.com

The future of the Arrow-verse is going to drastically change after the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover event, with Arrow coming to an end. However, as The CW's universe of superhero TV shows looks to the future, there are a couple of familiar faces that may be getting a spin-off.According to a report from Entertainment Weekly, Superman & Lois Lane is in the works from the network. The series, which would star Supergirl, guest stars Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch in the titular roles. The series is being written and executive produced by Todd Helbing, who previously served as showrunner on The Flash.A brief description of the series, per EW, reads, "the potential show would follow the super-duo as they deal with all of the stress, pressures, and complexities that come with being working parents in today's society." Of course, these aren't just any working parents. One of them is a superhero, the other is one of the world's most renowned journalists.Should it go to series, Superman & Lois Lane will be the first time the Man of Steel has had his own show since Smallville ended in 2011. Interestingly enough, Tom Welling (Clark Kent) and Erica Durance (Lois Lane) will reprise their roles from that series in the upcoming Crisis crossover, alongside Hoechlin and Tulloch playing their versions of the characters.It's worth noting Superman & Lois Lane wouldn't be the first time DC's most prominent couple shared a TV series. Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman previously aired for four seasons between 1993 and 1997. In that take, Dean Cain played the superhero, with Teri Hatcher taking on the role of reporter Lois Lane.Elsewhere in the Arrow-verse, another spin-off is in the works. With Arrow coming to an end, a female-centric follow-up centered on Mia Smoke (Katherine McNamara), Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy Rodgers), and Dinah Drake (Juliana Harkavy) is being developed.Info from Gamespot.com

The full patch notes for the latest free update for Battlefield V have been released, and there's a lot there. Update 5.0 adds two new maps, new factions, new weapons, and vehicles to the game, all of which are tied to the Pacific Theater of World War II.Starting October 31, the War in The Pacific comes to Battlefield V with two new maps: Pacific Storm and Iwo Jima. On both maps, you'll be able to play as one of the two new factions: the United States and Japan. The change in scenery adds new weapons and vehicles too. For the former, you'll gain access to the M1 Garand, Type 99 Arisaka, Type 100, and the M1919A6. In terms of vehicles, War in The Pacific adds the M4 Sherman tank, Type 97 transport vehicle, the LVT and the Ka-Mi Light Amphibious Tanks, the Dinghy, LCPV, MB Jeep, and Type 95 transport vehicle.Update 5.0 also implements dozens of gameplay changes and bug fixes--way too many to list every single one here. We've compiled all of the major ones below; you can read through the whole patch notes in the link above.In GameSpot's Battlefield V review, Michael Higham wrote, "Conquest and the map roster don't mesh well together, however, Grand Operations--and the other modes within it--steal the show and foster some of the greatest moments the franchise has offered. You might be surprised by the impact of the slight changes made for this entry, especially when you're deep into pushing or defending objectives in Frontlines alongside teammates fulfilling their roles. That's when Battlefield V is at its best."Battlefield V Update 5.0 Patch NotesWar in The PacificTwo New Maps - Pacific Storm and Iwo Jima.Four New Weapons at launch - M1 Garand, Type 99 Arisaka, Type 100, and the M1919A6.Deploying across the Tides of War, you’ll get your hands on the M3 Grease Gun, Nambu Type 2A, Type 97 LMG, and M1918 A2.As Chapter Rewards, the Jungle Carbine and the Type 94 and Model 27 sidearms are also available for you to earn and unlock during War in The PacificNew Factions: US and Japan.New Battle Pickups: Katana and M2 Flamethrower.New Vehicles: M4 Sherman tank, Type 97, the LVT and the Ka-Mi Light Amphibious Tanks, the Dinghy, LCPV, MB Jeep and Type 95 transport vehicle.New Planes - the F4U Corsair (Fighter and Bomber variants), and the Japanese Zero (fighter and bomber variants).New Reinforcements - New Rocket Barrage Tanks - The Sherman Calliope, and the HaChi.WeaponsPlayers are now able to inspect their primary and secondary weapons directly while playing. Simply hold down the commorose button, and press the reload button to take a look.Fixed an issue that caused the smoke grenade’s visual effect to flicker.Fixed an issue that would cause players to sometimes use their primary weapons as syringes during the revive animation.RSC - Fixed an issue that would result in a visual problem when reloading the weapons with some specific soldier skins.M1928A1 - The weapons shadow no longer looks like it has a fore-grip.Fixed an uncommon bug which made it look like soldiers used an ammo pouch to gain health back, or used a health pouch to gain ammo.Fixed a bug that would cause the grenade launcher on the Tromboncino to be unusable if the weapon was dropped and then picked back up.Flaregun Radius and TTL re-balance: Flares last longer in general, and vehicle flares cover larger areas.Fixed a bug that would enable the Panzerbüchse 39 to fire multiple times in a row.Fixed a bug with the ricochet tracer visual effect which made it look like it was going in the opposite direction of its original trajectory.Fixed an issue where healing rates could stack between self-heal pouch and medical crate (only the highest rate will now apply).Increased medical crate aura regeneration rate to 16HP/s from 12HP/s as a result of healing rates no longer stacking.Improved detection of fire damage against soldiers. This will reduce situations where players can take fire damage while not being visibly close enough from the fire.Increased incendiary grenade radius to 4.5m from 4m to better match the effect.Increased the Incendiary grenade damage duration to 7s from 6.5s to better match the effect.Fixed a bug that sometimes caused the health and ammo crates to be deployed below the ground when deployed whilst prone.SoldierFixed an issue that would cause players to slowly glide across the terrain whilst waiting to start a round.Fixed an issue that would cause players to be seen playing the swimming animations whilst on the ground.Fixed an issue where players could often be seen with low animation quality in high-density areas.Fixed an issue where it would sometimes be possible to collide with soldiers that are dead.Soldier collision is now disabled as soon as the player dies, this means it will now be possible to move through players faster which will prevent cases where you can get blocked by a soldier you just killed.Improvements to the bleed out state that should decrease the chance of players getting stuck in a bleed-out state.Fixed an issue that caused the soldier to clip with the camera when opening a door while switching weapons.Fixed an issue that would cause an infinite death state if a player was roadkilled right after being revived.Fixed a bug that would not trigger the temporary slow down penalty after using the bayonet charge.Fixed an issue where players would be able to jump whilst charging.Holding down the melee button no longer blocks the sprint and jump input.Improved the vaulting animation when players are using the Revolver.Fixed an issue where a soldier would sometimes get blocked whilst vaulting over medium-sized obstacles.Players are no longer blocked from throwing health and ammo pouches while at the same time firing a weapon at full auto. The firing will now correctly pause to throw a pouch.Improvements to players that die while using a parachute - the sound will no longer cutoff if the player redeploys while parachuting, and we have removed the body falling sound effect if the player is in the air.Improved soldier ragdoll behavior to decrease the risk of them getting the “hanging from the hips” bug.Fixed an issue where soldiers could get stuck against collision with hard-edged assets, like for example the edge of a bridge railing.Fixed an issue that would cause the revived players to be in T pose when the reviver cancels the revive animation.Fixed an animation bug that could sometimes cause certain soldiers to be seen moving around in T pose.Fixed an exploit that would allow medics to endlessly throw medical pouches at each other.Fixed a bug that allowed players to deploy the bipod on shallow water.Improved activation consistency of the sliding functionality.Added support to choose between press or double-tap to activate sliding (default is double-tap).Increased Sliding cool down to 2s from 1.5s.Fixed an issue where soldiers teleport to an old position when exiting a vehicle.Fixed an issue where a soldier could vault through ceilings above stairs on Operation Underground.Players in shallow water can be revived now.Players can no longer get revived while in mid-air, which would cause players to end up under the terrain in some rare cases.VehiclesJU-88 bottom gunner now properly shows hitmarkers when doing damage.Fixed a rare bug that would cause players to spawn into the world without a plane, after they had selected a plane from the deploy screen to spawn into.Fixed a graphical bug that could occur if players sat in the top gunner seat in the Sturmgeschutz IV tank while firing it.The Churchill MK VII top gunner turret no longer looks broken if the player uses the cover function from certain directions.Improved the animation from third person when a player switches seats in an airplane.Mounted and Coaxial Machine Guns have had a significant redesign. These weapons how have a converging accuracy model, with an initial period of inaccuracy that improves with shooting until the weapon is fully accurate. The accuracy potential of all these machine guns is higher now than it was previously, but only after firing a few rounds. Overheat has also been adjusted to balance with this new technique, allowing for more forgiving instances of overheat, especially when firing in long, suppressive bursts. Additionally, the velocity of rounds fired from the machine guns have been increased, making hitting targets of opportunity and moving targets easier, however the damage of these weapons has been reduced at long range, to prevent overly effective instances of sniping with the MG. You should now find MGs easier to use and hit targets once they are zeroed in, but targets at long range will have more time to react before they are killed outright.Reduced the rate of fire for bomb loads of 4 or more. The high rate of fire of these bomb loads allowed a player to drop all their bombs effectively in one area, negating accuracy and making the choice between different bomb types poor. In general, there is a longer delay between bomb drops but bombs generally have more effective blast radius, especially against infantry.Increased the default turret speeds and adjusted the acceleration and deceleration curves to be more responsive.Reduced the impact of disabled turrets on the speed of the turret.Improved the accuracy of the bomb sight in both First and Third person cameras. The biggest improvement is in the First Person View.Holding the fire button while dropping multiple bombs will now update the target position for each bomb dropped.Refactored Ammo Counts for vehicles with unlimited magazines so they show the ammo count instead of the total ammo. This fixes stationary AT guns showing 0 ammo when they actually have unlimited ammo.Reduced the overheat and adjusted the explosive damage of the AA for consistent hit damage against bombers and fighters. Players should now get consistent damage against all aircraft types, and AA can now destroy an aircraft flying directly at the AA without overheating. Aircraft will need to be crafty and dodge and evade the more stationary AA, rather than simply absorbing the damage as they could do previously.Increased shockwave time so that planes have a larger chance to escape the shockwave of low dropped bombs.Fixed an exploit that would cause the Bleinheim passenger guns to not overheat.Fixed a visual bug with the Mosquito 6PDR guns reload.Improved the Kubelwagens steering animation and touched up the handling.Tank turret aiming when using the chase camera (3p) has been redesigned. The turret should now attempt to aim directly where you are looking.The UI should now accurately reflect where the weapon is aiming.If the weapon cannot physically shoot where you are aiming (because of objects in the environment etc), the UI should clearly reflect this.1p and zoomed aiming is not affected by these changes.Info from Gamespot.com

While there's a new trailer for The Mandalorian about to release, you don't have to wait for that to check out some new content from the Disney+ Star Wars TV show. Ahead of the trailer's debut, a series of character posters have been revealed, showcasing the heroes of the upcoming series.The images feature the titular Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal), along with Cara Dune (Gina Carano), Greef Carga (Carl Weathers), and IG-88 (Taika Waititi). The fifth poster is for a character that has yet to be revealed. While it's hard to say for sure, it certainly looks like an Ugnaught--the pig-snouted alien species first introduced in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. What's more, its face has certain similarities to Nick Nolte, who was previously confirmed to be appearing in the series. Until the character has actually been confirmed, though, who knows who or what that is.Thus far, there's not a lot known about The Mandalorian, including its plot. Hopefully, the new trailer will clear that up a bit ahead of the show's release when Disney+ launches on November 12.

Disney's new Star Wars TV show, The Mandalorian, contains a big Star Wars spoiler in its first episode, apparently. According to The New York Times, the series premiere will feature a "dramatic Star Wars universe spoiler."The report has no other details on what the spoiler might be. What is known, however, is that The Mandalorian takes place after the events of Return of the Jedi, following the collapse of the Galactic Empire.It was also confirmed this week that Disney will not release episodes in advance to media as it will do with some of its other Disney+ shows (Netflix also releases advance "screeners" to media for some of its shows). Disney said it won't make episodes of The Mandalorian available early in an effort to help to contain "any surprises and plot twists."Disney has shown select media pieces of episodes of The Mandalorian, but never a full show.The Mandalorian premieres November 12 on Disney+. Unlike most Netflix shows, episodes of The Mandalorian will be released on a weekly basis, not all at once.Game of Thrones star Pedro Pascal plays the titular Mandalorian on the show, with a cast that also includes Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad) and Carl Weathers (Rocky). The comedian Bill Burr, who does not like Star Wars, also has a role in the show.The next Star Wars movie, meanwhile, is The Rise of Skywalker. The movie comes to theatres about a month after The Mandalorian premieres, arriving on December 20. Info from Gamespot.com

Disney is reviving the Pirates of the Caribbean movie franchise, and now the media giant has selected two writers for the job.According to The Hollywood Reporter, Disney has hired a pair of writers for the job, one of whom might come as a surprise. The first is Ted Elliott, which comes as no surprise given he wrote the 2003 original Pirates movie and some of its sequels. The more surprising hire is Craig Mazin, who recently won acclaim for creating the HBO show Chernobyl. Mazin also wrote the comedies Scary Movie 3 and 4, as well as The Hangover: Part II.It appears the new Pirates movie is going through another draft revision, as Disney originally hired Deadpool and Zombieland writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick to pen the script for the new Pirates movie. They left the Pirates movie earlier in 2019.It sounds like it's still very early days for the new Pirates film, as Elliot and Mazin are said to be first working on finding a direction for the movie, and then the story.Johnny Depp famously played Captain Jack Sparrow in all the Pirates movies, but whether or not he would return for the new one is unknown.The Pirates movies are big-time blockbusters. The latest one, 2017's Dead Men Tell No Tales, made $795 million at the box office, and stands as the second worst-performing of them all, which says something about how much of a juggernaut the franchise is. Across the five releases dating back to 2003, the Pirates franchise has made around $4.4 billion at the box office. Info from Gamespot.com

Among the new features that Netflix is testing is the ability to watch content at different speeds, with options to decrease or increase the playback rate. Some creatives in the Hollywood and TV business have now spoken up to say this is a bad idea and should be stopped.Comedy veteran Judd Apatow (The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up) offered up an emphatic statement and a threat on Twitter. He called on Netflix to not pursue different playback speeds as a real feature and went on to threaten to "call every director and show creator on Earth" to campaign against it. "Don't f**k with our timing," Apatow pleaded. "We give you nice things. Leave them as they were intended to be seen."No @Netflix no. Don’t make me have to call every director and show creator on Earth to fight you on this. Save me the time. I will win but it will take a ton of time. Don’t fuck with our timing. We give you nice things. Leave them as they were intended to be seen. https://t.co/xkprLM44oC — Judd Apatow (@JuddApatow) October 28, 2019Actor Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad, Need for Speed) also chimed in to plead with Netflix to abandon this idea. "There is NO WAY Netflix will move forward with this," he said. "That would mean they are completely taking control of everyone else's art and destroying it."Stop. As the person talked about in this article I felt the need to speak out. There is NO WAY @netflix will move forward with this. That would mean they are completely taking control of everyone else’s art and destroying it. Netflix is far better than that. Am I right Netflix?🎥 https://t.co/fZDnYzvStN — Aaron Paul (@aaronpaul_8) October 28, 2019Ant-Man and the Wasp director Peyton Reed, meanwhile, made his own call to Netflix. "This is a terrible idea," he said. "I and every director I know will fight against it." Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse director Peter Ramsey said the new playback speed options are "designed for the laziest and most tasteless."Movie and TV veteran Brad Bird (Pixar, The Simpsons) said in his own statement that different playback speed options is a "spectacularly bad idea." He added, "Why support and finance filmmakers' visions on one hand and then work to destroy the presentation of those films on the other???"Dear @Netflix, This is a terrible idea, and I and every director I know will fight against it. Sincerely,Peyton Reed https://t.co/iPq10ywKfz — Peyton Reed (@MrPeytonReed) October 28, 2019Do “customers” want to eat or have sex 1.5x faster too? Are they right? Does everything have to be designed for the laziest and most tasteless? — Peter Ramsey (@pramsey342) October 28, 2019Whelp— another spectacularly bad idea, and another cut to the already bleeding-out cinema experience. Why support & finance filmmakers visions on one hand and then work to destroy the presentation of those films on the other??? https://t.co/T7QdYAQGHU — Brad Bird (@BradBirdA113) October 28, 2019Comedy writer and actor Jay Chandrasekhar (Super Troopers, Beerfest) simply said, "Don't do this Netflix."For its part, Netflix reminded fans in a statement (via EW) that this is only an experiment, and as such, different playback speeds may never become available to the wider userbase. The test was small in nature, and reportedly only available on Android phones in some regions. The playback speeds included in the test include 0.5x, 0.75x, 1.0x, 1.25x, and 1.5x."We're always experimenting with new ways to help members use Netflix," a spokesperson said. "This test makes it possible to vary the speed at which people watch shows on their mobiles. As with any test, it may not become a permanent feature on Netflix."Variable playback speeds have been around for a very long time in the world of sports broadcasts as well as audiobooks and podcasts.November is a big month for Netflix, as Oscar winning director Martin Scorsese's next big mobster movie, The Irishman, premieres November 27 on the platform.

The Obi-Wan Kenobi Star Wars series, which is set to begin filming in 2020 was originally planned as a film before ultimately morphing into a TV show for upcoming streaming service Disney+.Speaking to comingsoon.net during the press junket for Doctor Sleep, Kenobi actor Ewan McGregor confirmed that the original plan was to produce a single Obi-Wan film. "It wasn’t always going to be a series, not initially," he said, confirming that there was some validity to the years of rumors of an Obi-Wan film being planned. But McGregor seems glad that things ended up the way they did: "I’m really into the idea to be able to tell the story over several hours instead of just one hit. I think it’s going to be quite cool."Rumors of McGregor's return to the role have been swirling for years. But back in August 2018, a few months after Solo disappointed at the box office, McGregor stated that there were no current plans to make an Obi-Wan film despite the actor's interest in reprising the role. The arrival of Disney+, which will also play host to Star Wars bounty hunter spin-off The Mandalorian--which debuts on November 12-- has evidently made Disney reconsider.Obi-Wan will be a six-episode series, set eight years after Revenge of the Sith. It will cover a period of time where the Jedi master was in exile, well before Luke Skywalker discovered his destiny and took to the stars.The series will be directed by Deborah Chow, who has also directed two episodes of The Mandalorian. It's unclear as of yet whether the Obi-Wan series will be limited or continue beyond those initial six episodes.Info from Gamespot.com

Last week, a trailer or Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker premiered during the NFL's Monday Night Football game on ESPN. This week, fans got another trailer for original series The Mandalorian, coming to Disney+ on launch day for the streaming service on November 12.The trailer, which below, gives us some idea what the show will be about. The Mandalorian is one of the best bounty hunters around, and he'll be getting involved with Werner Herzog's unnamed character, who lives on a planet that sure does look like Tattooine, and there are still remnants of the Galactic Empire--Stormtroopers. Almost everything we've seen in the previous videos takes place in what looks like the outer rim. This was also the first time we saw comedian Bill Burr in the trailer, as he's shooting three blasters at someone. Essentially, this show looks like Star Wars meets the wild west, so it's the perfect addition to the universe.The Mandalorian takes place after the fall of the Galactic Empire, but before the rise of the First Order--the show will, however, sow the seeds of that group coming together. The series follows the titular character, played by Pedro Pascal, a lone gunfighter working outside of the authority of the New Republic. The series also features Gina Carna as Cara Dune, Carl Weathers as Greef Carga, and Taika Waititi as IG-11.Unfortunately, we won't know too much more about this show prior to its release as there will be no reviews of the show, from anyone, prior to the release date. The series is shrouded in secrecy, and Disney is putting a lot of time and effort into the project, so don't consider this a bad thing.
