It's official. A different cut of the movie Justice League from original director Zack Snyder is in the works and it will be released on HBO Max in 2021. The director announced the news during an online Q&A for Man of Steel. Some fans have been clamoring for the "Snyder Cut" of Justice League since the director stepped down from the film and Joss Whedon took over as director. Now they'll get it, sort of.Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Snyder revealed that the project will be "an entirely new thing." What does that mean? "You probably saw one-fourth of what I did," the director said of the theatrical cut of the movie. Now, with the upcoming HBO Max streaming service, Snyder had an outlet for the project.Those who believed a version of the movie existed that was ready are going to be slightly disappointed. It turns out the truth of the matter is that Snyder walked away from the project following the death of his daughter with an unfinished cut that has no visual effects or post-production work done to it. But, after screening what he had for Warner Bros. and DC executives, they were interested.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

One of the key pillars of Microsoft's next-generation strategy is Xbox Game Pass, and it could be a game-changer for the Xbox Series X and Microsoft's overall ambition for the future of gaming long-term. Xbox Game Pass is so much more than a catalog of games you can play--it's also the foundation for where Microsoft believes gaming is headed in the future. And with the launch of Xbox Series X this holiday season, Microsoft has a chance to start this next generation on a much stronger footing than the current one and better set itself apart from its competitors.Microsoft's bold new vision for the future of gaming is rooted in its past. Microsoft came up short against Sony in terms of current-generation console sales. Some estimates state that the PS4 outsold the Xbox One by a 2:1 margin. There are plenty of reasons for that, including Microsoft's hubris around the launch. After a strong Xbox 360 era, Microsoft announced policies around the new Xbox One that fans immediately and loudly rejected, including internet check-ins, a lack of used game support, and bundling Kinect with every system. The console retailed for $500 USD at launch, a full $100 above the price of the PlayStation 4.In an interview just ahead of launch, I remember asking then-executive Albert Penello about the price gap, and he shrugged his shoulders, appearing confident that it would not make a difference. But it did. Even if some of these digital-centric policies might now be considered by some to be forward-thinking, 2013 was clearly not the time for those ideas to thrive. The Xbox One could never fully recover from its initial launch struggles, but things are different now, and Microsoft is putting itself in a very strong position as it heads into the Xbox Series X era and beyond.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Amazon is making its first major push into AAA games began today with the release of the hero shooter Crucible. The free-to-play game is available through Amazon for PC or via Steam.Crucible is a third-person hero shooter, so it has some elements similar to others in the genre. It adds a PvE element to the mix, though, spawning beasts to defeat throughout the world that help you rank up your team for when they run into other human players. It has 10 characters, each with their own variety of abilities. The characters largely don't fall into familiar archtypes like tank or support. Instead, their abilities let them plug into multiple functions in the heat of battle. Instead of ammo drops, each character has their own weapons and abilities with cooldown timers. You can also use the environment to set traps.It's launching with three game modes: the capture point Harvester Command, team doubles Alpha Hunters, and PvE-focused Heart of Hives. While it has some elements of battle royale like care packages and a tightening play area "ring," it's not a typical battle royale. However, it does include a battle pass to unlock cosmetic rewards.

Sucker Punch's Ghost of Tsushima has been a long time coming. The game was officially revealed at Paris Games Week in 2017, but development on the project began shortly after the release of Infamous: First Light in 2014. The studio has been working on the game for close to six years, a development cycle that almost encapsulates the PlayStation 4's entire lifespan. Whether by design or by fortuity, Sucker Punch showed off what Sony's console could do in its infancy and now is poised to show how far it has come in its maturation.The game they've made to show off that growth is, in the team's own words, more ambitious than anything Sucker Punch has done before. Ghost of Tsushima is an open-world, stealth action game that draws its inspiration from classical samurai cinema, but also looks to tell a grounded, poignant story about struggling against oppressors and the extreme lengths a person will go to in order to preserve their culture and community.Ahead of Ghost of Tsushima's release on July 17, we talked to creative director Nate Fox about the studio's journey, the inspirations behind the game, and the intricacies of its gameplay.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Comedian and actor Patton Oswalt has some hot takes to share about The Matrix--namely that fans have been rooting for the wrong hero for the last decade. While guesting on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast to promote his new Netflix special, I Love Everything, Oswalt made a passionate case for the movie's pseudo-villain, Cypher, who famously sold out his allies to Agent Smith in hopes of being able to return to the AI simulated lie and live a comfortable life."There's a very strong case to be made for Cypher's character, like, 'No. Plug me the f*** back into this,'" Oswalt laughed. "'I'm nude with atrophied muscles, hairless in a jagged wasteland of radioactive slag, or I can be in this world where I have a nice job, where I eat a steak and marry someone, can I just live in this--I am fine with it. Morpheus, who the f*** are you helping?! Why are you dragging us out?! The machines aren't trying to kill us.'"Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

After a deluge of complaints and comments from Doom Eternal players, Id Software is planning to remove the recently implemented Denuvo Anti-Cheat in the game's next update.Doom Eternal executive producer Marty Stratton broke down the decision in a post to the Doom subreddit on Wednesday, saying that "feedback from players has made it clear that we must re-evaluate our approach to anti-cheat integration."Id Software's first update for Doom Eternal brought a number of changes, including Denuvo Anti-Cheat, which uses a kernel-mode driver that can access your operating system. While patch notes tried to quell player concerns, the community was not happy with Id Software's decision to add what they consider an invasive anti-cheat tool. Player reactions since the update have been severe, including many negative reviews on Steam.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Even more than not getting to try any of that Szechuan sauce, Rick and Morty fans have long had one frustration in common: the fact that it takes ages for new Rick and Morty episodes to come out. Series co-creators Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland have gone on record about their disagreements and lengthy iteration process many times, and even said last year that the long delays between Rick and Morty seasons are a thing of the past. And yet, they weren't even able to get Season 4 done in time last year; only half a season aired in 2019, with the back five episodes currently arriving weekly, six months later.It's a relatable problem: Rick and Morty fans want more Rick and Morty! Rick and Morty is so good that no amount of it will ever be enough. There's no easy solution to that problem--until now. Look no further than Solar Opposites, the new show by Roiland and Rick and Morty writer and producer Mike McMahan.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

A year after the series finale of Game of Thrones, two of the show's stars are reuniting for a project, but this one's quite a bit different from their previous work together. Peter Dinklage and Jason Momoa have signed on to star together as a vampire and a vampire hunter in an action-adventure movie, according to a new report.The news comes from Deadline, which reports Dinklage will play legendary vampire hunter Van Helsing in the upcoming movie Good Bad & Undead. In the film, he forms an uneasy alliance with Momoa's character, a vampire that has vowed never to kill again. The two venture from town to town, scamming locals by having Van Helsing act as though he's killing the vampire for money. Ultimately, an actual bounty is put on the vampire's head and the two end up on the run in a magical world of monsters.Max Barbakow (Palm Springs) is set to direct from a script by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift (Baywatch, Freddy vs. Jason).
