In many ways, it feels like the era of ‘movie games’ is over – if anything, it’s the era of ‘videogame movies.’ With Expedition 33, Arc Raiders, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance all set to get big screen adaptations following the success of League of Legends: Arcane, the Mario Movie, and Minecraft, it feels like Hollywood has realized that gaming is, in fact, a goldmine, or is, alternatively, out of its own ideas. But, while videogame adaptations have gone well over the past few years, videogame spin-offs of films haven’t. I lament how mid Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora was (even with…
Avatar: Fire and Ash may not have lit up the box office like its splashy predecessor The Way of Water, but a fourth movie is still on the cards, promises James Cameron.Following a recent report by Variety that claimed the sci-fi sequel had yet to turn over a profit, despite having pulled in $1.45 billion at the global box office, the writer-director assured fans that a follow-up was “very likely” at the Saturn Awards on March 9 (per Screen Rant). He added that he’s taking “audience feedback” into consideration when it comes to determining where the franchise will go.Starring Sigourney…

If you’re lucky enough, there’s a small chance you’ll get a shiny version of one of the starters upon beginning your journey in Pokemon LeafGreen and FireRed. It’s a lottery, and even though the odds are slim, winning it has led players to a prison of their own making by resetting the Switch version over and over and over to finally get a win.The two games arrived on Nintendo system on February 26, less than two weeks ago, and there are people who’ve spent most of that time trapped in Professor Oak’s laboratory, playing through the initial dialog ad nauseum.…
The Ghost of Yotei Legends co-op update is imminent, meaning players will soon be able to join with up to three friends in different game modes and continue their battle with the Yotei Six. However, rather than being an immediate continuation of Atsu’s story, the events here take place many years later to revolve around mythical and exaggerated tales of these warlords, making the challenge more suited to multiple players. To find out more about how this will work, here’s everything we know so far about how to start online co-op in Ghost of Yotei Legends.When is Ghost of Yotei…
Resident Evil co-creator and original director Shinji Mikami has apparently been gradually building a secret project at new studio Unbound, seemingly beginning work as its representative director not long after Microsoft officially shut down his last studio to have released a game, Tango Gameworks, in 2024.The Hi-Fi Rush studio has now found a new home under PUBG developer Krafton, and Mikami, who left Tango in 2023, had already moved on. His latest studio Unbound is – as recently spotted by VGC – actively recruiting for an unannounced, original IP.According to a 2024 translation by Automaton, Mikami last founded a company…
One of the big questions about Prime Video’s upcoming streaming series Spider-Noir has finally gotten a definitive answer. Showrunner Oren Uziel has now confirmed that it’s not the same version of Spider-Man Noir who was introduced in animated form Into the Spider-Verse, saying the goal of the show is to “to make a version of Spider-Man that no-one had ever seen before.””Same character, different universe,” Uziel tells Empire. “It’s a different flavor of that character, even though it’s still [Nicolas Cage’s] voice. It’s not a continuation of Into The Spider-Verse. Once [Phil Lord] and [Christopher Miller] introduced the idea of…
Resident Evil Requiem has some of the most convincing performances in the entire series, with Angela Sant’Albano’s work as Grace Ashcroft being a personal standout, and, according to the actor herself, a lot of that comes from Capcom giving performers the freedom to re-do otherwise perfect scenes to their liking.During a recent interview between GamesRadar+ and Sant’Albano, she stresses just how much Capcom pushed for a “collaborative” environment between the creative leads and the actors. She tells me Capcom really wanted “cinematic” performances to elevate the series alongside recent improvements to RE Engine, but she also explains that actors were…
The original God of War trilogy is both a great set of video games and a perfect example of the M-rated excess the industry often aspired to in the post-GTA 3 glow of the ’00s. The sex minigames alone are pretty grotesque reminders of the series’ devotion to male power fantasies, so they’ll surely be cut from the upcoming trilogy remake, right? Not so fast with those assumptions, says one former Sony Santa Monica writer – those sex scenes were, after all, largely designed by women.”Fun fact: the God of War sex mini-games were designed by women,” according to Alanah…
