A Fall Guys fan has made their own mini games within Media Molecules' Dreams. The look, feel, and design of the game is impressive considering Fall Guys has only been out for a couple of weeks. They must have put serious time into the project."I have not yet released it," said nico_Gamer09, who created the level. "I plan on making 10 levels or so and [then] tie them together."The level has the little Fall Guys blobs run through a giant hollow cylinder full of gaps and other obstacles. Players need to navigate through multiple cylinders, just like the racing games in Fall Guys, in order to make it to the end. You can see the level, dubbed Dizzier Heights, in action below.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The next Call of Duty game is Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. It was officially announced via a new teaser video, which uses the same "Know Your History" language as previous in-game teasers. The video promises a worldwide reveal on August 26 within Verdansk--the setting of Call of Duty: Warzone. This official reveal confirms rumors of the Cold War setting based on previous leaks.The majority of the trailer focuses on real-life KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov, who delivered a famous warning about tactics that are used to undermine governments--tactics (or "active measures") that include demoralization, destabilization, crisis, and normalization. Most of the video his Bezmenov's actual recorded statement. While he explains the mechanics of each step, real historical footage plays in the background. Images from the Vietnam War and anti-war protests punctuate "demoralization," while later stages like "crisis" and "normalization" depict what appears to be footage of more civil unrest, police brutality, the New York Stock Exchange, politicians, and various military technology."The time bomb is ticking," Bezmenov warns. "With every second, the disaster is coming closer and closer. The danger is real."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Another Legendary Pokemon is returning soon in Pokemon Go. Heatran, the Lava Dome Pokemon, will appear again in Raid Battles beginning this Friday, August 21, making this your first chance to catch it since January.Heatran will be featured as a five-star Raid boss until September 10, giving you a few weeks to add one to your collection.

What a feeling it is to play something that leaves you invigorated, not just for the game itself, but also on a personal level. Despite the deep, dark plotlines and harrowing battles against complex villains or malevolence incarnate, Final Fantasy XIV tends to be rather optimistic. Although questions linger, the heroes prevail and the world rebuilds while you await the next wave of evildoers to set their plans in motion. But the latest storyline in FFXIV's 5.3 update, which closes out the entire Shadowbringers expansion story arc, ends on a more joyful, intimate note that's earned, and it makes me smile every time I think about it.See, even as Shadowbringers presents FFXIV on the grandest scale in the game's history, the stories within are deeply humanizing. It's character-focused in a way that FFXIV hadn't really been before. While you and your Scion allies work to avert a calamity for a separate realm and your own simultaneously, they dig deep to grow as leaders and take action alongside you in service of others. Patch 5.3, aptly named Reflections In Crystal, is a microcosm of the game's ability to fulfill those narrative ambitions, but also inspire hope in such poetic fashion.From here on, I'll be talking in explicit spoilers for all of FFXIV, including Shadowbringers and the ending of the 5.3 storyline. So if you're keen on finishing it yourself, I'd suggest you bookmark this one and save it for later.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Marvel and Sony aren't slowing down when it comes to growing the Spider-Man universe of movies--whether or not Spider-Man will actually appear in them. With a sequel to Venom and a Morbius movie on the way, along with a Madame Webb film in the works, the next step is reportedly a female-centered superhero film, which will be directed by Olivia Wilde (Booksmart).The news comes from Deadline--and seemingly confirmed by Wilde herself in a tweet--says that the film in question is expected to be about Spider-Woman. According to the report, Wilde is developing the project and will write the script with Katie Silberman. Amy Pascal is signed on to produce, much like she's done for every Spider-Man and Spidey-adjacent movie since 2017's Far From Home.🕷 https://t.co/hkchsQsaaX — olivia wilde (@oliviawilde) August 19, 2020While Spider-Woman has been the alter ego of a number of characters over the years, it's most identified with Jessica Drew, the first character to take on that mantle back in 1977. Unlike Peter Parker, Jessica Drew's origins involved being injected with an experimental serum and having her age manipulated with a "genetic accelerator." Her powers include your typical wall-crawling, but deviate from Peter's there, with pheromone manipulation and bio-electric charges No details about Wilde's take on the character have been revealed yet, just as there is no production or release information at this time.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The Australian Classification Board has rated a new game called NHL Rewind 94, leading to speculation that EA Sports might be looking to revive the iconic '90s ice hockey game.The rating popped up on August 19 and was first spotted by Gematsu. The ratings description carries no useful information about the title, only stating that it originated from Canada, which makes sense because that's where EA's NHL games are developed.If EA is indeed releasing a new version of NHL 94, it wouldn't be the first time. NHL 14 included an NHL 94 Anniversary mode that gave the game a retro look and feel. NHL 94 is one of the most beloved ice hockey games ever made, so it would be no surprise to see EA revive it again.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

A year of dueling console launches is upon us once again, but this one feels different somehow. Far from deciding between competing launch lineups or network infrastructure, this time the choice between Xbox and PlayStation is more philosophical. The two companies, Microsoft and Sony, have presented very different visions for the future of console gaming. And that's left me uniquely torn between my feelings of an innate responsibility to reward the direction I want to see from the industry, and simply wanting to have access to all the games I care about.To state what may be obvious, we don't know the price points for the Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5, but we're expecting each of them to be roughly $500. Many gamers will have to choose one or the other this year even if they ultimately plan to own every major console eventually. I'll probably be among those making the choice, especially as America collectively tightens its belt in the midst of a pandemic-sparked recession. That difference between each console's approach accents the considerations facing those making a choice between them.Microsoft appears to be consciously blurring the line between generations, with the promise of a vast back-catalog playable on Series X, the rejection of next-gen exclusivity for the near future, and free upgrades to next-gen through its Smart Delivery feature. Many of its games are also available on PC, and sometimes that includes ownership across the two platforms. Meanwhile, it's leaning harder on services like Game Pass and the included xCloud streaming to make the ecosystem itself an attractive proposition. Even the controllers will work across generations, which is especially welcome news to me as an Elite 2 owner.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The Mega Man movie has been in pre-production for a while, but is yet to start filming. The film's directors, Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, have just released Project Power on Netflix, which was written by Mattson Tomlin, who is also writing Mega Man's script. Now, the writer has spoken on what to expect from the film.Talking to Polygon, Tomlin has said that in the planning of Mega Man, he feels that he needs to "treat him like he's a real person." He says that he was brought in by Joost and Schulman because of how well they worked together on Project Power, and now he finds himself pondering how to best make Mega Man work on screen."My way into it was always, what is a compelling story," Tomlin says. "And what is the real soul of that character? We all kind of know him as this cartoonish Blue Bomber who jumps and shoots, and to kind of go beyond that and knowing that, OK, visually it’s going to be a certain thing that is going to please the video game fan, but you know what is the story at the center? They’re like, what is it that this character can really go through?"Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The animal park featured on the Netflix show Tiger King is closing. The park's owner, Jeff Lowe, announced on Facebook that the Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park in Oklahoma will close "effectively immediately."There will be a "new park," but it will be a closed set for new content based on Tiger King for TV and streaming services, Lowe said. The Facebook post has since been removed, but the details were reported on by Entertainment Weekly.Lowe took over control of the park after the original owner, Joe Exotic, went to prison in a murder-for-hire plot. In May, the court ordered that ownership of the park would go to the rival park owner Carole Baskin. This decision came down after the judge ruled that Joe Exotic improperly transferred ownership of the zoo to Lowe, giving Lowe 120 days to leave.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Apple has just hit a ridiculous milestone, becoming the first tech company--and the second company overall--to achieve a total value of $2 trillion. Our sister site CNET is reporting that Apple's stock price has hit $467.55 million per share, which adds up to about $2 trillion when you account for the 4.3 million outstanding shares.This comes ahead of a stock split that will "make it easier for more people to buy shares," CNET reports. As they note, this is a "largely symbolic" figure--and a company's true value is measured by many different metrics--but the bottom line is that Apple is doing very, very well.This makes Apple far and away the biggest tech company, and puts it behind only Saudi Aramco (a petrol and gas company) in terms of share value.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
