Bloodshot keeps a lot of things from the original Valiant comics the same, from the character's general backstory to his ability to heal any wound thanks to the nanites swimming around in his veins. But as fans have noted, there's one thing in the Bloodshot adaptation that's very different from the original books: Bloodshot's appearance.When we got the chance recently to sit down and chat with Bloodshot director Dave Wilson, we asked him why they didn't try to make Vin Diesel look more like the comics version, and his answer surprised us."The easiest [change to discuss] is his look: the white skin, the red eyes, the red dot. And he's never wearing a shirt in the comics," Wilson described, explaining that he thought it would be strange for the movie version to follow the same rules. "It just presents an impractical approach. Why is he wandering around like that the whole movie?"Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Infinity Ward has released a few hotfixes to address bugs and exploits in Call of Duty: Warzone--a new free-to-play battle royale game that also ties into Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. One of the more notable hotfixes addresses an exploit that allowed players to easily survive the gas cloud ring.YouTube user Steve noticed that, while in the gas cloud ring, two players can keep their squad alive by constantly reviving each other. The reason this worked is because Warzone didn't have a feature tied to revives to discourage players from helping each other multiple times in a row.We’re rolling out a playlist update across all platforms that fixes an exploit where players could counter the gas ring while in Battle Royale. — Infinity Ward (@InfinityWard) March 12, 2020PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, for example, decreases the amount of time you can remain in a downed state before an ally needs to pick you up with each time you're killed--this makes it hard to reach a teammate in time if they quickly get downed two or three times in a row. In Apex Legends, your time decreases if you're downed in quick succession and you come back with very low health, making it all but impossible to pick up a downed teammate as the closing ring grows more deadly with every round.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
