After Disney bought the rights to many Fox properties, many people didn't see an R-rated third Deadpool movie in the cards. While Deadpool 3 star Ryan Reynolds confirmed the status of the movie back in January, another important step in pre-production is completed, as the movie lands two writers.Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Loeglin, two of the writers from the hit animated series Bob's Burgers, will be writing the script for the next Deadpool movie, according to The Hollywood Reporter.Early in 2020, Reynolds revealed that the movie was in some form of production on Live With Kelly And Ryan: "Yeah, we're working on it right now with the whole team," Reynolds said. "We're over at Marvel [Studios] now, which is like the big leagues all of a sudden. It's kind of crazy. So yeah, we're working on it."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

HBO has finally given the green light to the proposed series adaptation of the Last Of Us video game series. Word on the show had mostly fallen silent after it was announced it was going to pilot with the network in the early days of the pandemic, so this is a nice development after such a lull in information. The show, whenever it is done and has a premiere date, will be available to stream on both HBO and HBO Max.The series will be led by Chernobyl creator Craig Mazin, with game director Neil Duckmann helping to pen the script and executive produce the series. According to a release, Carolyn Strauss (Chernobyl and Game Of Thrones) are executive producers along with developer Naughty Dog’s Evan Wells and PlayStation Productions' Asad Qizilbash and Carter Swan. Written by Mazin and Druckmann, the series is a co-production with Sony Pictures Television. PlayStation Productions, Word Games, and Naughty Dog will co-produce."Craig and Neil are visionaries in a league of their own," said Francesca Orsi, executive vice president of HBO Programming. "With them at the helm alongside the incomparable Carolyn Strauss, this series is sure to resonate with both die-hard fans of The Last Of Us games and newcomers to this genre-defining saga.

Maybe you were one of the lucky few to already get a PlayStation 5. But you may also be one of the unlucky few who have noticed that the PS5 is pretty loud--particularly the system's fan.If this situation describes you--someone with a noisy PlayStation 5--then there may be a fix that remedies the problem. However, it's not something we recommend as it could void the console's warranty.Some PS5 owners have reported a loud whining sound when the system is on, which was chalked up by some as coil whine. However, it's now been discovered the issue may all stem from a sticker.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

With both the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 out now, small differences between how both new consoles handle backwards compatibility have started to arise. Perhaps most notable is Microsoft's support for 120Hz on any games--Series X enhanced or not--on its new console, a feature which is missing on the PS5.It was difficult to understand why at first. Star Wars: Squadrons was one of the first backwards-compatible titles to receive a patch that unlocked 120Hz support on Xbox Series X and Series S but remain locked to 60Hz on PS5. Soon after, Call of Duty: Warzone (which is still a backwards-compatible title as a standalone download) was patched with the same features, and again 120Hz was only missing on PS5.It wasn't until Psyonix, developer of Rocket League, updated its popular multiplayer game that things became clearer. Rocket League exhibits the same behavior as Squadrons and Warzone, but Psyonix has opened as to why. According to the developer, it's down to Sony only allowing 120Hz support for native PS5 games, and not PS4 ones running in backwards-compatibility.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

One Mass Effect fan has gone all in on the PS5. They've customized their newly purchased PS5 by painting it black with a red strip with the sci-fi adventure's signature N7 logo. It looks quite nice."I received PS5 yesterday," said Redditor Thirteenera on the gaming subreddit. "Instead of playing games like a normal person, I spent most of the day mask-taping and airbrushing it...I love the result though!"Received PS5 yesterday. Instead of playing games like a normal person, spent most of the day mask-taping and airbrushing it... Love the result though! from r/gamingA number of PS5 owners have customized their PS5s since the new console launched earlier this month. Some have made simple changes, like coating the entire console in a different color of paint, while others have gone more in-depth like this Mass Effect fan.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

With the launch of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, AMD has been able to re-establish a footing in the conversation around high-end graphics processing. All that talk about RDNA 2 GPUs put the company in the spotlight, and its efforts amounted to some powerful next-generation gaming consoles. Both the Radeon RX 6800 XT and RX 6800 video cards bring the power of the RDNA 2 architecture to PC gaming and, based on our results, they make really strong cases for PC enthusiasts to consider AMD--which is something that we haven't earnestly said in quite a long time.It's tricky, though. Nvidia has been breaking ground since 2018 with its RTX GPUs that integrate hardware-based solutions for ray tracing and AI-driven graphics tech. Over two years, we've seen developers gradually adopt real-time ray tracing in games for photorealistic lighting, shadows, global illumination, and reflections. The cut in performance while using these features can be significant but ray tracing has made strides since its introduction into mainstream gaming. The growing support for DLSS (deep learning supersampling) makes 4K image quality and ray tracing feasible while keeping frame rates high, too. In regards to innovation, Nvidia remained untouched. While AMD put out some solid mid-range cards with the RX 5000-series in that time, it wasn't able to challenge Nvidia at the high-end.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The long-running sci-fi action Predator franchise will be coming back for a fifth installment with 20th Century Studios, according to Deadline. The film's reported pedigree looks intriguing, as it will be pairing 10 Cloverfield Lane's director Dan Trachtenberg with Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan writer-producer Patrick Aison. Those names alone indicate a bit of a re-centering on the series after 2018's previous outing that tried to infuse comedy with brutal action.Other than that headline news that Predator is once again coming back, details are less than sparse. No information has been revealed about casting choices or plot--so it will be a while before we hear about any big-picture stuff for the upcoming film. Given that the franchise's other last major release, the video game Predator: Hunting Grounds wasn't, all that well received (we gave it a 4 out of 10, even with the Arnold Schwarzenegger DLC), it would be reasonable to hope the last few years are a temporary low point for the series. It can only go up from here, right? The only other clue lingering out there is that Trachtenberg has made it be known that at some point he wants to make a video game, very nebulously indicating that he had started talking about "video game stuff with some people." But that may also be an indication of what--aside from his background in sci-fi psychological thrillers--the director may bring to this project.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
