The Austin Powers franchise has been dormant since 2002's Austin Powers in Goldmember, but a fourth instalment in the series might finally be on the way. Mike Myers, who plays Austin Powers and Dr. Evil in the silly spy series, said in interviews recently that a fourth instalment is "looking good," and it could have a unique hook.Myers told Entertainment Tonight that he is interested in making an Austin Powers movie told from the perspective of Dr. Evil instead of Austin Powers. "I would love to do a movie from Dr. Evil's perspective. So it would be Dr. Evil 1, Austin Powers 4, is how I would roll," he said. "Start the campaign, please. Thank you."In a separate interview with E! News, Myers said it's "looking good" that a fourth Austin Powers movie will happen. But you should be patient."You know, it takes a long time to write the script, you want it to be fantastic," Myers said.Jay Roach, who directed all three Austin Powers movies--1997's Austin Powers: International Man Of Mystery, 1999's Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, and 2002's Austin Powers in Goldmember--is reportedly interested as well. Myers said he's met with Roach about a fourth film, adding again that it's "looking good," but "we'll see.""I'd love to do it, it's so much fun doing it," he said.Actor Verne Troyer, who played Mini-Me in the Austin Powers movies, passed away earlier this year. Myers appeared on Jimmy Kimmel's late night TV show and emotionally praised and remembered the actor who died at the age of of 49. Info from Gamespot.com

Earlier this year, the incorrect Battlefield V system requirements emerged online, but now developer DICE has shared the final, official system requirements for the WW2 shooter. Posted on Reddit, the system requirements cover Minimum and Recommended, as well as DirectX ray tracing (DXR), which requires extra RAM and and RTX card.Battlefield V was supposed to launch on October 19, but EA and developer DICE announced a delay that pushed the release date to November 15. The delay came down to DICE wanting to have more time to fine-tune the game and make it as good as possible for release. The game will launch with single-player War Stories and the fan-favourite multiplayer, but the new battle royale mode, Firestorm, isn't going to launch until March 2019. The single-player campaign chapter where you play as a German soldier, The Last Tiger, won't be available at release either; instead it comes out sometime in December.

Toby Fox, the indie developer behind the hit Undertale, has released a special treat for Halloween. His latest game, titled Deltarune, has released for free through its official site. You can download it now for PC or Mac.Fox began teasing the game yesterday. "For those who completed Undertale, it's really important that you check [the Undertale Twitter account] 24 hours from now," Fox said. "I want to make something new, and it all begins with your feedback."That teaser could imply a direct connection between Undertale and Deltarune, or possibly just a hunch that anyone interested in Fox's work would also like to check out whatever else he has up his sleeve. Notably, "Deltarune" is an anagram of Undertale. Undertale is chock full of secrets and mysteries, some of which remain unexplained. The fan community pores over details and clues looking to unlock its mysteries, and this latest game may help fill in some gaps. It appears to be more of a proof-of-concept than a full finished game, which Fox suggested with his comment about feedback.Undertale recently released on Nintendo Switch, joining the PC and PlayStation Vita releases. It became a critical hit for subverting RPG tropes with a unique combat system, and for allowing wide flexibility in how you deal with enemies."Without spoiling the many ways it will screw with your expectations, it isn't possible to truly capture how wonderful Undertale is," said critic Tyler Hicks in GameSpot's Undertale review. "You wouldn't know it with a passing glance, but it's one of the most progressive and innovative RPGs to come in a long time, breaking down tradition for the sake of invention, with great success."Info from Gamespot.com

The Resident Evil 2 remake is right around the corner, and Capcom is playing into your survival horror nostalgia with a little treat for long-time fans. The company announced that the classic costumes for Leon and Claire will be unlockable in the game for free.That means Leon's "Classic Police Costume" and Claire's "Classic Jacket Costume" will be available for all players. As some eagle-eyed fans have noted, Claire's is slightly different than her original look, which had black sleeves and a high neck from the shirt worn under her jacket. As an homage, though, it's recognizable.This comes just after a new trailer revealed exclusive costumes that you can get by purchasing one of the game's Deluxe and Collector's Editions. Those included a Military and Elza Walker outfit for Claire, and the Arklay Sheriff costume for Leon. Both also have a Noir costume for that smoky old-school look. All of those are included in both the Deluxe and Collector's Editions, which come with a few different goodies. The Deluxe includes an exclusive pistol and additional music options, while the CE has all that plus some physical items: a 12-inch Leon statue, art book, and RPD renovation blueprints.We have a treat for you! As a thanks for your undying support, we’re providing all Resident Evil 2 players with a piece of nostalgia: Leon and Claire’s classic costumes will be unlockable in-game, for free.#RE2 pic.twitter.com/szuvgxGnl6 — Resident Evil (@RE_Games) October 31, 2018The Resident Evil 2 remake is coming on January 25, 2019 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. While the remake is striving to stay true to the mood and tone of the original, it's taking some big liberties. The controls and camera are more akin to later Resident Evil games, making for a uniquely fresh take on the classic.Info from Gamespot.com

A Fallout 76 bug caused some PC users to accidentally delete the entire game, prompting Bethesda to extend the beta as a make-good. After warning users not to click any buttons on the client, it told them to allow the beta game file to redownload. The company later took responsibility for the bug and announced the extension.Eurogamer reports that the bug only impacted PC users, but those affected had to redownload the entire 50 GB beta file. That could lead to long wait times and ISP data restrictions, so the company was compelled to issue a mea culpa. It will now run on November 2 from 11 AM to 8 PM PT. The tweet notes this extension is for everyone, so users on the PS4 and Xbox One get a little extra benefit without having been impacted by the bug.We know some users have been forced to redownload the #Fallout76 B.E.T.A. and not everyone will be able to enjoy the game tonight. To make good, we’ll be extending the B.E.T.A. for everyone on Thursday, November 1, 2pm to 11pm ET. Thanks for your patience. #ExtendtheBeta — Bethesda Game Studios (@BethesdaStudios) October 31, 2018Several test dates were already planned for next week: November 1 from 11 AM to 4 PM PT, November 3 from 2 PM to 6 PM PT, and November 4 from 11 AM to 6 PM PT. You'll be able to keep your progress from the beta into the full game, so read up on all the upcoming beta times and how you can still get in before the game launches in our beta guide.If you're already exploring the wastes and looking for some advice, check out our guide for some beginner survival tips and what you should check out first.

A final Nintendo Direct focused on the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Ultimate introduced a whole new mode, which pairs hand-in-hand with its revised way to include beloved characters from a wide variety of new and retro video games.

Square Enix has released a new trailer for Kingdom Hearts III, offering us another look at the Kingdom of Corona, a world based on Disney's Tangled. In the video, which you can watch above, Sora, Donald, and Goofy stumble upon the tower where Rapunzel is being held and help set her free. But before long the newly liberated princess finds herself face to face with a monster.Flynn Rider is also there, but quickly opts to take a backseat in battles, saying that he can get Rapunzel back to the kingdom but will need Sora and his companions to handle combat, which they have quite a bit of experience with at this point. The quick gameplay showcase also provides another look the traversal ability Rapunzel has, which involves swinging using her hair.Much of the celebrity voice talent that was attached to the Disney universes featured in Kingdom Hearts III are reprising their roles, as are key performers from previous Kingdom Hearts titles. Haley Joel Osment returns to voice Sora, while Zachary Levi will return as Flynn Rider and Donna Murphy will once again be Mother Gothel. For Frozen, Idina Menzel is voicing Elsa, Kristen Bell is Anna, Josh Gad is Olaf, and Jonathan Groff is Kristoff.John Ratzenberger and Wallace Shawn will feature as Hamm and Rex from Toy Story, while Tate Donovan is back as Hercules from Hercules, and Kevin R. McNally as Gibbs from The Pirates of the Caribbean. Tony Anselmo and Bill Farmer, who have served as the official voices of Donald Duck and Goofy for over than 30 years each, will also reprise their roles.Utada Hikaru, who has provided the vocal theme for previous mainline Kingdom Hearts titles, will once again lend her voice for the third game. This time, however, the soundtrack will also feature a collaborative track made with Skrillex. Kingdom Hearts 3 is set to release on January 29, 2019 on Xbox One and PS4. Info from Gamespot.com

Ghost Pokemon have been a common sight in Pokemon Go this past week thanks to the recent Halloween 2018 festivities, and soon one will be the star of its very own special event. Niantic has announced it is hosting a Gengar Day on Saturday, November 3, bringing the Shadow Pokemon to Raid Battles for a limited time. [Update: Gengar Day has arrived; be sure to check out the schedule below to see when the event is underway in your region.]Like Pokemon Go's monthly Community Days, Gengar Day will be a brief event, only running for three hours. During that window of time, the Shadow Pokemon will appear as a Raid Battle at Gyms. These require a Raid Pass to join, but you'll be able to get five of them for free from a nearby Gym to help you participate.Not only will Gengar spawn frequently at Gyms during the event, you'll also have a chance of coming across a Shiny one. You may not initially be able to tell it's a Shiny at first glance, however; unlike most other Pokemon, Gengar's Shiny variant is only subtly different from its standard form. It's still worth getting one, though, particularly if you plan on picking up Let's Go Pikachu or Let's Go Eevee for Nintendo Switch when they launch next month.Shiny Mega Gengar artwork for Pokemon X/YAny Gen 1 Pokemon you catch in Pokemon Go can be transferred to the Switch titles, where you'll then be able to recapture them at a new facility called the Go Park. If you do manage to find and get a Shiny Gengar during the upcoming Gengar Day event, you'll want to bring it over to Let's Go; Gengar is one of the few Pokemon capable of Mega Evolving, and Shiny Mega Gengar (pictured above) is one of the coolest-looking Pokemon in the games. You can find the hours for each region's Gengar Day event below.Pokemon Go's Halloween event is scheduled to end on November 1. It introduced a handful of new Ghost and Dark Pokemon to the game, along with the Gen 4 Legendary Pokemon Giratina, which will appear in Raid Battles until November 20. You'll also be able to encounter another Gen 4 Ghost Pokemon, Spiritomb, by completing a new Special Research questline.Meanwhile, Pokemon: Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee launch for Nintendo Switch on November 16. As previously mentioned, players can transfer monster from Go to Let's Go, and doing so is the key to getting the new Mythical Pokemon Meltan, which we recently learned is able to evolve into a Pokemon called Melmetal. You can read more about the games in our hands-on impressions of Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee.Pokemon Go Gengar Day HoursAmericas, GreenlandPacific Time: 11 AM - 2 PMEastern Time: 2 PM - 5 PMAsia-Pacific12 PM - 3 PM JSTEurope, Middle East, Africa9 AM - 12 PM UTCInfo from Gamespot.com

As part of Fortnite's 6.20 update last week, developer Epic Games introduced the ability to re-deploy your glider in all game modes, just as you could in the Soaring 50s LTM. According to the studio, this wasn't intended to be a permanent addition to the game, but rather as a test, and it looks like Epic was pleased with the results.Epic has posted an update about the glider re-deploy mechanic on Fortnite's official website, confirming that the feature will remain in place for the time being. "We've finished our first week of Glider Re-deploy being available in all modes," the studio wrote. "During this time we've been collecting internal data and monitoring constructive feedback from all of you. We understand that not all players agree with this change, but we would like to continue with this functionality in the game based on the positive results we've been seeing."In the same post, Epic also revealed it plans to make some quality-of-life changes to the glider re-deploy mechanic with future updates. The first of these, slated to rollout with the recently delayed 6.21 patch, will focus on "prioritizing Glider audio over weapon audio within certain ranges." Additional improvements are also on the cards, although Epic hasn't revealed what those will be yet.The glider re-deploy mechanic was first featured in the Soaring 50s limited-time mode, which placed a much greater emphasis on being airborne than standard Battle Royale matches. It allows players to open their glider again and soar back to the ground if they're at least three stories in the air.Fortnite's 6.21 update is now scheduled to arrive on November 1. Epic originally planned to roll it out to all platforms on October 31, but it had to be postponed due to a "last minute issue." Meanwhile, the Halloween-themed Fortnitemares event is scheduled to end on Sunday, November 4, and Epic teases that some kind of "one-time event" is set to occur on that same day.Info from Gamespot.com

We're now in Week 6 of Fortnite Season 6, which means a new set of challenges is available on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, and mobile devices. Completing these will net you XP and help level up your Battle Pass, which in turn will unlock the new Season 6 cosmetics and rewards. As usual, there's an added bonus for completing all of the challenges from a given week: you'll also clear a Hunting Party challenge, giving you a chance to find a free item.Each time you complete a Hunting Party challenge, you'll unlock a special loading screen, which will contain a subtle clue to the location of a free Battle Star or Banner--a type of item that can be used as your profile icon--hidden somewhere around the island. Which one you'll be able to find depends on how many weekly sets of challenges you've completed, and they won't appear unless you've finished enough missions and unlocked their corresponding loading screen.If you've cleared six weeks' sets of challenges, you'll be rewarded with the loading screen pictured below. It depicts two characters--donning the Calamity and new Deadfire skins--fighting off a horde of the zombie-like Cube monsters introduced during the Fortnitemares Halloween event. Look at the tree on the righthand side of the screen and you'll see the silhouette of a Banner next to a monster made out of cars etched onto its trunk.The car monster in question can be found in quadrant I6, near the racetrack to the east of Retail Row. Head there and you'll find the free Banner waiting to be collected. We've pinpointed its location on the map below, or you can check out the video above.As previously mentioned, this particular Banner won't appear on the island unless you've completed six weeks of challenges and unlocked the above loading screen. You won't simply be able to go to the race track and collect it unless you've completed all of the necessary steps. You can see our guides for all of the other free Banner and Battle Star locations thus far below.Fortnite's latest batch of weekly challenges task players with placing Chiller traps in different matches and finding sheet music and playing pianos, among other things.
