Ad Infinitum--a World War 1 survival-horror game first announced all the way back in 2015--seemed like it had become vaporware, but that's no longer the case. During the Nacon Connect presentation on July 6, the game got a re-reveal trailer, though you will still have to wait a pretty long time before you can play it.The re-reveal trailer features a dead soldier slumped over a barbed wire-covered obstacle, with what appears to be a mine just by his head. The mine doesn't detonate, but a mysterious creature grabs the body and disappears, and the camera pulls out to reveal dozens more dead soldiers in the same area."In Ad Infinitum, you play a conscripted German soldier returning home after the Great War, but the trauma you experienced in the trenches continues to haunt you," Nacon said. "Each night, hallucinations filled with horrific creatures, death traps, and mysteries mark your path to recovery. Overcome them to free yourself from your trauma and tear the veil of other, perhaps even more terrible mysteries."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The people making The Suicide Squad want you to know that it's going to be a very different movie. Different how? Well, it certainly won't be anything like the financially successful but overall lambasted 2016 Suicide Squad. Like other recent DC films, including Birds of Prey, Shazam, and Aquaman, it will stand apart from the "DC Extended Universe" of movies, if such a thing even exists at this point. The Suicide Squad isn't even similar to James Gunn's previous big screen superhero movies, Marvel's largely beloved Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. The reasons why are plentiful and compelling, as we learned on a visit to The Suicide Squad's set in Atlanta, Georgia back in 2019, before the global pandemic."Basically DC came [to me] and said, 'Hey, what do you want to do?'" recalled Gunn, who took a few minutes out of his busy shooting schedule to chat with the reporters who had flown out to set. After being reactively fired by Disney over a series of uncouth old tweets, Gunn wasn't in the wind for long, and he quickly brought his pitch for The Suicide Squad to DC and Warner Bros. That pitch was apparently quite something.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
