While most of the recent Star Wars announcements have focused on the variety of upcoming Disney+ shows, that doesn't mean that there aren't movies in the works too. One of these is a film to be produced by Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige, and it's now been reported that it will be written by Michael Waldron, the creator of the upcoming Marvel Disney+ series Loki.The news comes via Deadline, which reports that Waldron's Star Wars role is part of a wider deal with Disney, which also includes a second season of Loki. In addition, Waldron has written the screenplay for the MCU sequel Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness, which will be directed by Sam Raimi and releases in 2022. Deadline states it is rare for the studio to sign a writer for so many high profile projects. Disney has not commented on the deal.Feige's Star Wars movie was first announced in September 2019, but there has been little news about it since then. In November that year, Feige told The Hollywood Reporter, "I love the notion of exploring new people and new places in that universe."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

This week on Wrestle Buddies, GameSpot's professional wrestling podcast, Chris E. Hayner and Mat Elfring break from the regular format of the show to, instead, remember the life and career of Jon Huber. Huber, known to wrestling fans as AEW's Mr. Brodie Lee and WWE's Luke Harper, passed away in late December and the outpouring of love from the professional wrestling community was unlike anything we'd ever seen.While Huber was always good in the ring--and on the microphone, for that matter--the image painted of him by everyone he worked with was so much more than that. Above all, he was a husband and a father who did whatever he could to spend as much time with them as possible.To that end, Mat and Chris look at the reactions from Huber's fellow wrestlers, break down AEW's stellar tribute to the Dark Order leader, and recall their own memories of the man, including witnessing his final WWE bouts live. What about you, though? Do you have any fun memories of seeing Huber wrestle? If so, sound off in the comments, because we want to read them!Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

It's both an exciting and depressing period for Attack on Titan fans right now. Season 4 of the acclaimed anime is airing now, with one highly anticipated episode airing this Sunday, and Chapter 136 of the manga is releasing in a matter of days. On the flip side, the manga is soon coming to an end--we now know that the final chapter will be Chapter 139 releasing April 9, with the final volume releasing two months later on June 9. While it's sad to anticipate the end of this incredible story that began over a decade ago, there's still plenty to look forward to for AoT fans, and if you're looking for more AoT content to fill your days, a new bundle at Humble offers a big batch of digital content for a great price.

A never-released Tomb Raider game has been leaked, allowing you to play it on PC. Called "Tomb Raider: 10th Anniversary," it was originally intended as a PSP remake of the original Tomb Raider from Core Design. But it was ultimately shelved in favor of a different remake from Crystal Dynamics, Tomb Raider: Anniversary.While Core briefly considered reskinning the game to be a licensed Indiana Jones game, those plans also fizzled. PC Gamer reports that now more than a decade later, assets were released on the Internet Archive, and made playable via instructions on the fan site Tomb of Ash. You'll need to jump through some hoops like installing a patch, and you need to use either a PS4 or Xbox 360 controller.This is an early alpha build, and there are no enemies to contend with, but you can explore the environments of Peru, Greece, and Croft Manor.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

While 2020 was rough for average Americans, the world's richest only got richer, raking in more than $931 billion as the pandemic ravaged industries and livelihoods. Someone to rise out of the ashes of 2020 is Elon Musk, who is now reportedly the richest person on the planet.According to Bloomberg, the Tesla Inc. and SpaceX CEO's net worth has now reached some $188.5 billion, thanks in part to a 4.8% surge in Tesla's shares. This makes Musk wealthier than the world's previous wealthiest person, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, by $1.5 billion. Bezos would've held the title of World's Richest Person Ever if not for his divorce, which saw his ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott, walk away with 25% (worth about $36 billion) of his Amazon shares. Bezos also donated some of his shares in November 2020 that totaled to about $680 million.This comes as Tesla, which produced over 500,000 cars last year, shipped and sold just under 370,000 units in all of 2020. In spite of this, Tesla shares have surged 743% last year.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Multiplayer sandbox/game dev sensation Roblox has raised $520 million in its most recent Series H funding rounds, led by investors Altimeter Capital and Dragoneer Investment Group. Other well-known companies like Warner Music Group and the Investment Group of Santa Barbara also participated in this round. This news comes in the wake of Roblox Corp. filing the paperwork to go public with an initial public offering (IPO) back in November. The company has since decided to opt for a direct listing instead of the IPO.For those unfamiliar with the workings of business investment and capital, companies often go through multiple series of funding rounds as they grow and progress. When a company needs more funding to get to the next level of its business, it undergoes a valuation that takes several factors into account including the company's management, market size, risk, and proven track record. Each round usually has a different purpose, with Series A being focused on optimizing a company's user base and product, and each ensuing Series focusing on a different aspect of the company's growth and development.In its Series H funding valuation, Roblox was valued at $29.5 billion, with its stock at a purchase price of $45 per share. According to a statement on the Roblox site, this additional funding will be used to "advance Roblox's growth initiatives and mission to build a human co-experience platform that enables shared experiences among billions of users." Roblox, like Fortnite, has become more than just an online game. Between player-created content and in-game concerts featuring artists like Lil Nas X, it has become its own huge online platform.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Sony's Bravia XR TVs in 2020 were marketed alongside the company's PlayStation 5, despite a range of them failing to support many of the new HDMI 2.1 features that the console shipped with. In 2021, Sony has learnt from that mistake, announcing its latest range of Bravia TVs ahead of CES next week.Irrespective of which of the new Bravia sets you purchase in 2021, every single model will support the full suite of HDMI 2.1 feature out of the box; no future firmware updates required. This goes for the new premium Z9J Master Series 8K down to the X90J 4K. This includes Variable Refresh Rate, eARC, 120Hz support at 4K, and more. Additionally, the entire range will support Dolby Vision HDR.Unlike Samsung, Sony isn't drastically changing its display technology in 2021. The range of new sets still consists of a mix between OLED and LCD panels, with the Master Series Z9J 8K, A90J 4K, and A80J 4K range making use of the former. LCD sets will benefit from more local dimming zones to reduce blooming, especially with HDR content, but Sony hasn't specified exactly how many.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Fortnite saw the return of X-4 Stormwing planes with the Operation Snowdown holiday event. Despite that now being over, some of these planes are still available on the map, but a change compared to their original launch has rendered them far less attractiveThey no longer have infinite fuel. They, like cars and boats, have to get filled up at a gas station (or with a gas canister) after a short time behind the wheel. One boost in the plane eats nearly a quarter tank of gas.Me when I saw a stormwing again for the first time since Season 7: from r/FortNiteBR"I wouldn’t even mind the fueling so much if it was actually possible to land the damn plane at a gas station," said Redditor NickEggPlant in a thread about the planes. "The plane was actually fuel efficient instead of burning through a full tank in 30 seconds."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Following a riot at the US Capitol building, Twitch has followed the lead of other notable social media companies and disabled Trump's account. A statement from Twitch cites the president's "incendiary rhetoric" as the cause."In light of yesterday's shocking attack on the Capitol, we have disabled President Trump's Twitch channel," the statement reads. "Given the current extraordinary circumstances and the President's incendiary rhetoric, we believe this is a necessary step to protect our community and prevent Twitch from being used to incite further violence."Twitch is the latest in a string of tech companies that have taken action against President Trump's accounts, following riots that he helped to instigate. Twitter temporarily disabled his account for 12 hours, while Facebook banned him from both the social media platform and Snapchat for at least the next two weeks, "until the peaceful transition of power is complete." Shopify also removed branded Trump stores.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Although Netflix is no longer The Office's streaming home in the U.S. (that honor now belongs to Peacock), people sure got their mileage out of the popular sitcom's final days on Netflix according to the latest U.S. streaming numbers from Nielsen. The information, data, and measurement firm synonymous with TV ratings clocked the mockumentary sitcom about the fictional paper company in Scranton, Pennsylvania as a staggering 1.3 billion minutes for the period of December 7 to 13.This is, it should be noted, also the seventh instance of The Office taking the top spot since the company started charting streaming last summer. And given the relative lag time on these numbers being reported, it would be reasonable to expect The Office (on Netflix, anyway) continued to carry weight through to the end of December.The only spot on the top 10 not belonging to Netflix is the second place with another obvious entry: The Mandalorian, on Disney+, got nearly an even 1 billion minutes across the measured week in mid-December. With a massive amount of new Star Wars TV shows and movies making their way to Disney+ in the future, something Star Wars is likely to make repeat appearances on these Nielsen lists. Meanwhile, Schitt's Creek, which took the top spot in a recent ratings list, is still holding strong with 621 million minutes--ranking at 10 overall.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
