Weapons helmer Zach Cregger will be penning the script for the movie’s prequel with Godzilla writer Zach Shields. Revolving around undeniably the best part of the 2025 horror – Amy Madigan’s terrifying Aunt Gladys – the movie now has a working title of Gladys and an official update from Warner Bros.Per Deadline, Shields will be working with Cregger to bring the story to the screen, fresh off producing the latest series of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. If his name rings a bell for Monsterverse fans, too, it’s because he’s also the writer behind Godzilla vs. Kong and Godzilla: King of…
S&box is an upcoming open source game development platform, built using a modified Source 2 engine. Out on 28th April, it’s the work of the very same Garry Newman behind the legendary Garry’s Mod, who’s been working on a spiritual successor at his company Facepunch Studios (also the developers of Rust, and originally known as Team Garry) since 2015. Inasmuch as I am qualified to judge, S&box sounds like a robust tool – it’s got features and systems for visual scripting, open world terrain, and creating shaders. The developers are also supporting VR, but hey, nobody’s perfect. The latest, bestest…
It looks like Blizzard is testing the waters for World of Warcraft to become playable on controller. One of the longstanding MMORPG’s producers is currently doing some research on whether players would enjoy as much, letting users have their say.In a questions-and-answers session with Azeroth-centric outlet Wowhead, Holly Longdale, executive producer and vice president on World of Warcraft, proposes the question to the live Discord chat. “How many players would be interested in experiencing the game on a controller with a fully dedicated UI?” she asks, prompting a variety of responses and concerns.For her, she sees the value in catering…
Marathon nails the two things every solid extraction shooter needs: the vibes, which remain top-notch no matter how many times you meet an early fate, and the gunplay, which feels as intense on your first shot as it does on your millionth. Drenched in a sci-fi atmosphere befitting of the Destiny and Halo creators, Bungie’s pseudo-reboot is one of the best FPS games available right now, and a lucky few will get it for just $1 / £1. Marathon isn’t a very casual-friendly game, and I’m the first to admit that it can be challenging. Each run sees you take…
Despite us being almost two weeks out from the Crimson Desert launch, players are still figuring out how massive the game is, with some having not even left the first region.Crimson Desert is doing super well so far with the game selling three million copies in five days and fans raving about it online. But it also seems to be literally, overwhelmingly massive. Pre-release, many were wondering how the developers at Pearl Abyss would pull it off, considering the sheer amount of stuff that seems to be included in the title, on top of a huge world to roam around.…
A patent on summoning creatures to battle, which was granted to Nintendo and The Pokemon Company in 2025, has now been revoked. The US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has declared that the patent is too obvious to stand, but importantly, this is a non-final decision. Nintendo still has the opportunity to fight back.Notably, this is not one of the patents that Nintendo cited when it took Palworld developer Pocketpair to court back in 2024 – a legal case that is still ongoing. Those patents largely cover features like creature capturing and riding.This patent, number 12,403,397, covers summoning a creature…
Although Crimson Desert has been largely well-received among critics and players alike, most who’ve played the game are in agreement that it takes a while to get going – but that slower pacing in the early game is key to its success, reckons Arkane Lyon studio director Dinga Bakaba.Bakaba, who obviously knows a thing about crafting immersive experiences, having overseen development on games like Dishonored 2 and Deathloop, recently took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the Crimson Desert spell everyone’s under at the current moment. For context, consensus on Crimson Desert isn’t nearly as uniform as, say, Clair…
It’s official! Resident Evil’s will-they, won’t-they sparring partners Leon Kennedy and Ada Wong are in love, and they have a baby. It’s a 27-year-old man who should be sued for medical malpractice.His name is Dr. Zayne Li, though he usually just goes by Zayne, and he was one of the main romantic interests in dating RPG Love and Deepspace before he got adopted by fans into the Resident Evil universe this week. So the man has been reborn as Zayne Wong-Kennedy, and though I’ll miss being disappointed by his notifications each time I get an in-game text from him instead…
When a game misses the mark, publishers often look for a silver lining – good feedback or design strengths, for instance – or gloss over the dud with soft language meant to reassure shareholders the same way a weighted blanket might reassure an anxious dog. Rarely do they literally put that game in a presentation under the category of “What Did Not Work,” as Nexon recently did with The First Descendant, a third-person looter shooter that has been treading some amount of water since its June 2024 release.Nexon’s March 31 capital markets briefing yielded a treasure trove of comments on…
