The Simpsons producer and writer Matt Selman has said he "would love" to see a remaster of The Simpsons: Ht & Run, a fondly remembered action game released back in 2003. However, the producer said it may not happen soon, if ever, due to corporate bureaucracy."I would love to see a remastered version of [Simpsons Hit & Run], I would," Selman told IGN. "It's a complicated corporate octopus to try to make that happen."Video game releases based on The Simpsons have slowed down in recent years. EA's mobile game, The Simpsons: Tapped Out, is among the newest--and it was released back in 2012.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

I was already thinking about how I was going to make Black Bart's Cave a little bigger."Added Parker, "It's just sitting there. It sucks."

The release of Halo Infinite is fast approaching, and while the game is adding a ton of new features, it will be missing something: a magnum. Halo's magnum is an iconic weapon, and if you played Combat Evolved, you can probably still hear the sound of it firing. While the franchise as a whole may be moving away from the iconic weapon, a group of animators on YouTube decided to give the magnum some well-earned attention.As part of a challenge on YouTube, animators were tasked with reanimating Halo CE's magnum. Animators of every caliber responded to the task with videos showing simple takes on the iconic pistol to a full 50-second long video. The latter came from former senior animator at Respawn and current expert animator at Infinity War, Ranon Sarono. Sarono has made animations for multiple weapons from 2019's Call of Duty Modern Warfare, Apex Legends, and Titanfall 2.You can find Sarono's video down below, along with a few other videos that were submitted for the Halo CE magnum reanimation challenge.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Hulu's initial popularity came from its rebroadcast of network television shows--specifically, those airing on NBC and Fox. Back in the mid-aughts, Hulu was the best way to watch reruns of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Family Guy, 30 Rock, and The Office. There were movies on the service, but they were icing on the cake.Eventually, as the streaming game got more competitive and fragmented, Hulu had to rely less on its television broadcast partners and more on generating exclusive content. But even so, its original movie offerings have lagged behind its original television offerings. Only in the past two-odd years has Hulu garnered critical acclaim for its films on par with The Handmaid's Tale or FX's Devs. And last year, Hulu acquired the exclusive streaming rights for Nomadland streaming debut. That film and its three Oscar wins for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actress could be a harbinger of good things to come for the service.Here are the 10 best Hulu original movies that you can watch right now.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Pokemon Go developer Niantic is doing things a little differently for the game's August Community Day. The event will be held across two days rather than the usual one, from August 14-15, and it features a Pokemon that has already starred in a previous Community Day: Eevee. Despite this, there will be some new event moves and other bonuses during the event, including an easier way to get Sylveon. Here's everything you need to know about Pokemon Go's August 2021 Community Day event.August 2021 Featured Pokemon: EeveeEeveeEevee is the star of August's Community Day.

Fortnite is adding Bloodsport from James Gunn's The Suicide Squad, meaning Epic's ever-growing roster of superheroes and supervillains is getting one anti-hero bigger soon. First announced by the man beneath the menacing mask himself, Idris Elba said to expect more news on July 29, likely including a launch date.Bloodsport is a new character to the DCEU, but not to DC Comics, having debuted first in 1987 in a Superman issue. Over three decades later, the anti-hero will make his debut in Fortnite, just like we all will one day--maybe. Get your first look at Bloodsport in Fortnite in the brief teaser below.Oh yeah. #Fortnite fans prepare to get some dubs. @FortniteGame @idriselba pic.twitter.com/QhAIclJuCN — James Gunn (@JamesGunn) July 28, 2021Bloodsport can be seen using a zipline, blasting away an enemy, and firing a rocket launcher, which may sound chaotic, but for The Suicide Squad is probably just a Wednesday. The DC Comics star marks the second member of The Suicide Squad to come to Fortnite after Harley Quinn debuted in 2020 with both her Suicide Squad and Birds of Prey styles on offer, though Deathstroke has been in some comic book iterations over the years as well, and he too is in Fortnite these days.

GameStop has announced that it plans to rebrand all of its Canada-based EB Games stores to GameStop. Announced in a press release, all EB Games in Canada and the online store for EB Games will be swapped over to the GameStop name and brand by the end of the year, based on "feedback from our valued customers and stockholders."GameStop acquired EB Games back in 2005, at which point EB Games stores in the U.S. and Europe were rebranded as GameStop. There are about 4,000 EB Games and GameStop stores across the world.GameStop has been working on transforming its business and revitalizing it after several rough years. The company was on a downward trajectory in recent years, which was exacerbated by GameStop being forced to close retail stores due to the pandemic. However, early this year GameStop's stock price skyrocketed due to the WallStreetBets subreddit rallying behind the video game retailer. This stock increase helped give the company an opportunity to change its business.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

It looks like Sonic the Hedgehog will be making his return to the Super Monkey Ball franchise in Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania. In the latest trailer for the remaster, Sega reintroduced all of the characters in the game, showing off AiAi, GonGon, MeeMee, Baby, Doctor, and YanYan, along with a brief teaser for the iconic blue blur.Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania is a remaster of Super Monkey Ball, Super Monkey Ball 2, and Super Monkey Ball Deluxe, so all of these characters returning isn't new information. However, at the very end of the trailer, a gold ring is shown floating the way a banana normally would, and a ball with a blue blur inside flies across the screen.The game is published by Sega and Sonic was included in Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD, so it's pretty safe to assume he will be a playable character in the game. It was reported back in June that key art for Sonic and Tails was hidden within the game's official website, with images showing what appeared to be models for both characters. While Tails does not appear in this new trailer, it wouldn't be shocking if he was included alongside Sonic.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The first season of Stargirl hit the now-defunct DC Universe streaming service and surprised us with fun characters and a strong thread of family that went through both the heroes and villains' storylines. For Stargirl Season 2, though, the show is delving into horror, creator and executive producer Geoff Johns said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly."[Stargirl Season 2's] first scene was purposely at the top and mysterious and both specific and vague at the same time because I wanted everyone to know there's a tonal shift this season," Johns said. "And so right away you get that tonal shift and it is scary and it is dark, but it was important to have that up front and then right away we go to like, summertime blues and the kids patrolling at night and there's nothing going on … there's a lot of humor and fun afterward. But it was important just to set the tone of the season right away, let you know that we're going to get scary this season.There’s a new villain in town. #DCStargirl returns this summer on The CW! pic.twitter.com/n6aJjLAoGM — DC's Stargirl (@stargirl_cw) March 16, 2021Johns compares one of Season 2's villains, Eclipso, to horror icons like Pennywise or Freddy Krueger, calling him "more of a demonic force" than the much more human villains of Season 1, and points to movies like Lost Boys and Nightmare on Elm Street as inspirations for the season. Even though Stargirl and the other JSA members will feel Eclipso's influence right from the beginning, though, Johns says we'll have to wait to actually meet the character.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

For the Pokemon brand's first foray into a new genre, Pokemon Unite gets a lot of things right. The game certainly feels like a MOBA a la League of Legends or Dota 2, just in a much easier to understand presentation for those who've never played one before. Matches are short, snappy affairs with plenty of action and strategy. Learning each of the five classes is fun and rewarding. Each skirmish within a match ups the ante, increasing tension and excitement until it boils over in the final stretch. It's just a shame that the confusing in-game economy composed of multiple currencies and a loot box-style lottery system can sometimes get in the way of the game's fun.For those unaware, Pokemon Unite is a "multiplayer online battle arena game" or "MOBA." Two teams of up to five players choose a Pokemon, then enter an arena where they defeat wild Pokemon in the environment to gather energy and experience. Experience levels up a Pokemon, increasing its stats and powering up its moves, while energy is used to score points and win the game. This is where Pokemon Unite separates itself from traditional MOBAs. Pokemon must take their stored energy to an opposing team's goal and "dunk" it through the hoop to score points equal to how much energy the Pokemon held. The dunking sequence itself is wonderful, with the Pokemon slamming the energy down through the hoop with force and excitement that will put a smile on your face. Dunks aren't the only scoring method though, as special wild Pokemon sometimes appear that give temporary buffs or extra points, but they are rare and sometimes one-time occurrences during a match. When time runs out--10 minutes in a standard match--whoever has the most points wins.This goal-scoring approach is different from established MOBA games--League of Legends, for example, requires that a team enter the enemy's base and destroy the Nexus--but it's a fantastic choice in action. Most of the wild Pokemon lining the arena aren't difficult to defeat, so even novice players will be able to gather energy easily. Some goals can only have so many points scored on them before they break, meaning disabled goals force you to progress further into the opponent's side of the arena to find a new one. It's a fun spin on the core objective of a MOBA match, taking something like defeating towers in LoL in order to progress and making it unique. Also, since the goals don't fight back like LoL towers do, new MOBA players won't need to worry about extra threats when trying to score.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
