December continues to be a veritable jam-packed Advent calendar full of exciting new surprises for Star Wars fans. Tuesday saw the release of a new behind-the-scenes Empire Strikes Back reel, taking us back to when Star Wars wasn't yet a sure thing. Earlier this month, at Disney Investor Day, 11 new projects set in the universe were announced. (This has been part of a bigger pattern stretching at least all the way back to November, when Baby Yoda and Mandalorian launched its own line of expensive jewelry.) Now, Disney has announced that on Christmas Day, Disney+ will be getting an hour long Mandalorian special titled Making of Season 2.While the name pretty much gives it away, a release indicates that this special has "filmmakers and cast provide unprecedented access to the storytelling decisions and innovations that went into the second season." The new special documentary is intended to "place viewers right in the middle of the filmmaking process… from early concept art through the groundbreaking technology introduced in the series."The Mandalorian, Disney+'s Star Wars space western created by Jon Favreau (The Wolf of Wall Street, 2019's The Lion King) debuted on Disney+ in 2019. Season 2 began on October 30 of this year, and will be airing its season finale on December 18--a week before the newly announced special.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Kaplan also mentioned that the team is mostly focused on Overwatch 2 right now.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

When Warner Bros announced plans to release their entire 2021 slate of films on HBO Max simultaneously with theaters, HBO Max skyrocketed out of relative obscurity to the very forefront of the streaming marketplace--with only one catch. The service was never made available for download on Roku devices, meaning Roku-users would be stuck watching these films on their computers, if at all. Not exactly ideal, especially when you're trying to recreate a blockbuster experience in your living room.Thankfully, a solution is on the way. HBO Max is being made available on Roku devices as of December 17. Users will be able to download the app from the Roku channel store and experience everything Max has to offer on their TVs or Roku-enabled devices.The Roku app comes not a moment too soon as Wonder Woman 1984, the first of WB's simultaneous theatrical/streaming release plans, is set to hit the service on December 25 at no additional cost to subscribers.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Be sure to check out our other end-of-the-year coverage collected in our Best Games of 2020 hub.Who would have thought that 11 years after its initial launch, Demon's Souls--a game described by a current senior PlayStation executive as "crap" and an "unbelievably bad game" when he played it during development--would be the showpiece for a new generation of PlayStation console.From Software's PlayStation 3 original was, at the time, something that felt harsh and alienating to many. But for those who clicked with it, the game was a wholly unique experience that offered rewarding challenges with a palpable sense of self-improvement, a thoughtfully constructed world to explore and unpack, and a fascinating narrative that rewarded those willing to piece it together.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The PlayStation 5 released worldwide in November, but right now it's very difficult to buy one, with stock in short supply. One issue since preorders opened has been the prevalence of scalpers, including bots that automatically buy systems to then resell at a higher price. Now, figures out of Japan suggest this might be an even more severe problem than first thought.Bloomberg reports that strong console sales are not necessarily translating into software sales. Figures they've taken from Famitsu show that the system has sold 213,000 units in Japan since launch, but the sales for physical releases of the system's top 3 games (Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Demon's Souls, and an unnamed third-party title) come to just 63,000 units. Comparably, the Switch sold 525,000 units in its first month, and saw that almost matched with 509,000 sales for its top 3 games. There are numerous caveats here--because of forwards compatibility, it's likely that many customers have bought PS4 versions of certain games for less money, and digital sales figures have been on the rise. The PS5 also has a digital only version, which would drive down physical sales, too. But the disparity is great enough to signal an issue, and because the PS5 is sold at a loss--as most consoles are at launch--Sony is reliant on software sales to make money.

If you've enjoyed having your brain teased by a video game in the last 20 years, or enjoyed the layered mechanical riddles of an IRL escape room, you have Myst to thank. Wildly popular when it launched in 1993, the narrative adventure was a pivotal moment for puzzle-solving in games. Now, 27 years later, the classic is reborn in virtual reality--rebuilt, but almost completely unchanged. Myst is and will always be a treasure. Even after all these years, its puzzles will still test, and maybe even stump, you. For returning fans, seeing it in VR for the first time is a powerful nostalgia trip. Being inside a world you’ve only seen through a screen before feels like diving into your own memory. When you get over that initial sense of wonder--or if you don't have the nostalgia that conjures it--Myst can’t hide its age, and its VR makeover exacerbates its blemishes.Myst is a small uninhabited island dotted with odd buildings and unintuitive, free-standing switches. When you arrive, you have no idea why you're there or what you should be doing. As you poke around--opening every door, pressing all the switches, reading the books and notes you find--your situation starts to take shape. Trapped on Myst, you will need to unravel its puzzles to uncover its secrets and escape.The content of Myst's places and puzzles do not follow any kind of unifying aesthetic--they are united in service of creating perplexing challenges that require you to be mindful of your surroundings and think creatively. At a glance, each puzzle seems completely obtuse, a hodge-podge of interactive puzzle pieces that don't easily fit together. More often than not, you'll need to take a good long look at your surroundings and figure out how the puzzle works before you can solve it.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The upcoming Resident Evil Village is one of the most-anticipated releases for 2021, and we still don't know that much about it, though a barrage of unconfirmed spoilers are circulating online, so watch out for that. But a small new dose of official assets have made their way online, as Capcom has released some new RE Village screenshots, and they're looking a bit more like Bloodborne than you might expect.New Resident Evil Village screenshotshttps://t.co/lK454UUikJ pic.twitter.com/lc4loUNyty — Nibel (@Nibellion) December 15, 2020The furry man with the large hammer certainly looks like a leaping horror that you would encounter on the streets of Yharnam. Though Capcom has gone back and forth on whether or not Resident Evil Village is Resident Evil 8, we do know for sure that the game is a direct sequel to Resident Evil 7, and will star that game's protagonist, Ethan Winters. You can see the screens over at IGN.Capcom suffered a massive data breach back in early November that revealed many of the publisher's unconfirmed plans for the year, including Village's purported release date of April 2021. We also know that Resident Evil Village will have almost no load times on PS5, and it will support 4K with ray tracing. It provides more freedom in how you play, and it may also come to PS4 and Xbox One, although at this time it's only confirmed for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.Info from Gamespot.com

Diablo 4 was announced back at BlizzCon 2019, but since then, details have been pretty thin on the ground for the hotly-anticipated sequel. Over the past few months, Blizzard has revealed bits and pieces of the game's design, and now, a blog post from the developer shows off some of the major changes to the game's itemization system, which is arguably the core of the Diablo experience.According to the blog post, perhaps the biggest change coming to the itemization system is the removal of Mythic tier loot. Instead, they'll be replaced with Uniques, items that always appear with the same "affixes," Diablo's term for the properties and bonuses found on items in the game.In Diablo 4, Magic (blue) items will be able to have the most powerful regular affixes. Rare (yellow) items will be able to have up to five, while Legendary (orange) items will have four regular affixes and one "legendary" affix that is rolled at random. That legendary affix will be rolled at random, which is a major change for the series.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
