Rocky IV, which originally released in 1985, is an extremely iconic 80s film. It's got everything--huge hair, a banging soundtrack, and simmering tensions between the US and the Soviet Union that are ultimately overcome by a boxing match that unites both nations in their mutual love for Sylvester Stallone's Rocky Balboa. And now, Stallone (who also directed) has announced plans for a 35th anniversary director's cut of the film--but with the film's single most 80s element cut out.Stallone, who announced the Director's Cut on Instagram, has responded to multiple comments asking him if the film's robot, which is given to Rocky's brother-in-law for his birthday early in the film, will make the cut. According to Stallone, the robot's out--and people aren't happy about it. View this post on InstagramFor the 35th anniversary Rocky 4 Is getting a new DIRECTORS cut by me. So far it looks great.

Twelve Minutes, the upcoming adventure game from Annapurna Interactive set inside a time loop that players experience repeatedly, has some major Hollywood stars in it--James McAvoy, Daisy Ridley, and Willem Dafoe. Now, in a new behind-the-scenes video, McAvoy, Ridley, and creative director Luis Antonio have talked more about what to expect from the game.Antonio says that originally the game was smaller in scope: "It was going to be a short game, and I was doing everything." However, he eventually realized that if he could "go a little further," things could get more interesting, and more options would be available to him. According to an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Antonio started working on the concept back in 2013.The video, below, shows that while Ridley and McAvoy recorded together, they did so while separated by a barrier. Dafoe recorded his lines separately in Rome. According to McAvoy, the game is "about the danger of truly examining within," and Ridley says that the game is about how you deal with your own truth and the truth of those around you, saying it will mean "different things for different people."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Doom Eternal is getting a hefty story expansion called The Ancient Gods, and we got our first extended look at Gamescom Opening Night Live. If you'd like to intervene in a heavenly conflict even though you don't own the full game, that option is open too.

"It's important as we want the DLC to reach as many people as possible. In fact, you don’t even need to own Doom Eternal to buy the DLC and play it."Aside from not needing to own the game, his comments confirm that you can play the Ancient Gods without having finished the campaign. As he says, the studio is looking to make it available to as wide a player base as possible.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

There's nothing quite like seeing justice properly served, and Twitch viewers certainly saw that when a Call of Duty streamer accidentally revealed himself to be a cheater. Shortly thereafter, he was banned from Twitch, and players can enjoy themselves knowing there is one less dirty rotten cheater profiting off dishonesty.While bragging about how good he was at Call of Duty: Warzone earlier this week, streamer MrGolds had his screen showing a Windows task manager, but underneath it was the cheating program EngineOwning. This didn't go unnoticed, and his Twitch account is no longer available.Streamer gets caught with cheat menu LIVE on streamEveryone report his stream plsproof: https://t.co/8LVEjcP05ktwitch: https://t.co/fQn1dyLL0a pic.twitter.com/eWfjuq4Wgc — âœ´ï¸ (@ERA7E) August 24, 2020EngineOwning advertises itself as an "undetected" cheat system for big-name shooters.

Epic Games continues a legal battle with Apple over Fortnite's removal from the App Store, and CEO Tim Sweeney is having a little fun while the process plays out. The developer did the unthinkable: promoting a rival game, and all to demonstrate the value of Unreal Engine for Apple users.On August 28, Apple seemed to take a shot at Epic Games by promoting a massive new update for PUBG Mobile on iOS. Typically, Epic Games would see PUBG Mobile as its competition, but because the game does make use of Unreal Engine--which Apple is looking to cut off from iOS and Mac developers--Sweeney promoted the game, as well.While waiting for Apple to #FreeFortnite on iOS and Mac, here’s another awesome battle royale game powered by Unreal Engine! https://t.co/IZJL1YYUtv — Tim Sweeney (@TimSweeneyEpic) August 28, 2020The passive-aggressive nature of the tweet certainly isn't lost on us, because if Apple does eventually cease Unreal Engine support on its devices, that would likely mean no more PUBG Mobile.
