Gaming giant Electronic Arts has been put on blast by one of its investors for the lucrative pay packages that the publisher gives to some of its highest-ranking executives.Dieter Waizenegger, the director of The CtW Investment Group, said in a notice that EA has "gone too far in terms of executive pay," and is calling on shareholders to vote against the "Say-On-Pay" proposal for EA's upcoming shareholder meeting on August 6. Waizenegger has also called out Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick for his huge pay and sought changes within the Call of Duty company.Specifically, Waizenegger says EA CFO Blake Jorgensen and CTO Kenneth Moss are paid too much, and it's an especially poor practice, as EA is laying people off, Waizenegger said. EA is said to have laid off 4 percent of its total workforce in 2019.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Hey, remember the '80s? Don't worry, Ernest Cline is here to remind you in case you forgot with a sequel to his novel, Ready Player One called--wait for it--Ready Player Two. The Hollywood Reporter has announced that the new book will be hitting shelves on November 24 in North America.Ready Player One, the novel, was first published back in 2011, but you'll probably remember it from the more recent movie adaptation helmed by Stephen Speilberg in 2018. The story, which relies almost entirely on nerd culture from the 1980s, follows a boy named Wade Watts who lives in a dystopian future where everyone relies on a massive virtual reality game called The Oasis for the most basic necessities. Being the chosen one (by virtue of his love of, you guessed it, the '80s) Watts was made to solve a series of DaVinci Code-like puzzles (centered around trivia about the '80s) hidden within The Oasis to become the sole heir of The Oasis's creator's company and fortune. In the process, Watts cyber-stalked and then eventually won over a girl who was also great at '80s trivia (but less great than Watts himself, of course, was.)Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Pearls are a new resource in Animal Crossing: New Horizons that you need to craft the summer update's new mermaid-themed DIY recipes. They are also extremely rare, and so far there are only two official ways to actually get them.How To Get Pearls In Animal Crossing: New HorizonsDiving To The Ocean Floor - While swimming in the ocean, just dive down when you see columns of bubbles rising to the surface and chase the deep sea shadow until you catch something. More often than not, you will come up with one of the 40 new sea creatures added in the new summer update, but if you're super lucky, you might find a pearl.Trading Scallops With Pascal - Pascal is a recently-arrived visitor who will appear once a day when you dive down and find a scallop, though not always on the first scallop. He will offer to trade you for it. Most of the time, you'll get a mermaid DIY recipe or mermaid clothes, but sometimes he will gift you a pearl. The rate that he gifts pearls over mermaid recipes and clothes is still unknown.Finding a pearl while diving.These are the only official, confirmed ways to get a pearl in Animal Crossing: New Horizons right now. Neither of these methods require any special tools, but you will need to purchase the wet suit to start swimming and diving, as the only place you can find pearls is in the ocean.Farming Or Grinding For PearlsThere's no official way to farm pearls or grind for pearls in New Horizons that doesn't require "time traveling," or adjusting the system clock on your Nintendo Switch to force-skip days. If you decide to time travel, the only possible way to get more pearls would be to grind for sea creatures until you get your daily Pascal encounter.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The wait is over. After Ruby Rose exited The CW's Batwoman at the end of Season 1, Warner Bros. TV has revealed who will take over the show's starring role. Javicia Leslie will play a brand new character created just for the series.Leslie is best known for her roles on CBS' God Friended Me and BET's The Family Business. She will play the character Ryan Wilder, who is described as "likable, messy, a little goofy and untamed. She’s also nothing like Kate Kane, the woman who wore the Batsuit before her. With no one in her life to keep her on track, Ryan spent years as a drug-runner, dodging the GCPD and masking her pain with bad habits. Today Ryan lives in her van with her plant. A girl who would steal milk for an alley cat and could also kill you with her bare hands, Ryan is the most dangerous type of fighter: highly skilled and wildly undisciplined. An out lesbian. Athletic. Raw. Passionate. Fallible. And very much not your stereotypical all-American hero."It was revealed shortly after Rose exited the series that The CW would not recast the role of Kate Kane, but would instead create someone new. Now, Leslie becomes the first Black actress to take on the role of Batwoman in a live-action TV show or movie. "I am extremely proud to be the first Black actress to play the iconic role of Batwoman on television, and as a bisexual woman, I am honored to join this groundbreaking show which has been such a trailblazer for the LGBTQ+ community," she said in a statement.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

1987's Street Fighter was Capcom's first fighting game, and it was where the six-button control and input system that has been a huge part of fighting games ever since was invented. While the series became much bigger and better with Street Fighter II, the original is a very important game--and as it turns out, it was first envisioned by the director when he was bored in a meeting and thinking about past jobs.In a new deep-dive oral history of Street Fighter on Polygon, game director Takashi Nishiyama has reflected on the game's creation, and how he started to conceptualize it during a meeting. "One day at Capcom, we had a meeting between the development staff and the sales team, and this particular meeting happened to run very long--I think it was about two hours," he recalls. "Personally, as someone on the development side, I found it very hard to stay interested during these meetings, so I tended to daydream and think about games."Nishiyama says that the game came to him into this moment. "There was just this one moment where the idea for Street Fighter popped into my head and I drew it out on a piece of paper during the meeting," he recalls, saying that he showed it to Capcom producer Yoshiki Okamoto (who was sitting next to him) and it earned his approval.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
