Chris Pratt has revealed he once pitched himself as Batman to James Gunn, sending a selfie in a Photoshopped cowl to the DCU boss. It was a joke, the actor insisted, but the filmmaker’s lackluster reaction made clear to him that he’ll never play the Dark Knight nonetheless…”[James] just said, ‘Haha,'” the Marvel actor laughed while promoting his upcoming AI thriller Mercy on Josh Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused podcast. “It’s safe to say I am not going to be Batman.”Pratt and Gunn have a long-time working relationship, of course, having made all three Guardians of the Galaxy movies together. But…
The surprise game reveal at last night’s Xbox Developer Direct was Kiln, a pottery-based multiplayer party brawler in the works at Double Fine. Combatants take the form of pots, vases, dishes, and urns, custom-sculpted and fired by players themselves, and will usually end up smashed into shards of tragic ceramic in the following online slapfights. Or maybe not, as there’s apparently nothing stopping you from simply playing Kiln as a nonviolent pottery sim by sticking to its clay-shaping component alone. “The whole pottery part is such that it grabs people who might not want to jump into a multiplayer game,”…

The author of the books that inspired the Shin Megami Tensei series says developers should take inspiration from other media, not just games.Aya Nishitani wrote a trilogy of books in the mid 1980s called Digital Devil Story. These books – especially the first title, Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei – became popular in Japan, and led to the Shin Megami Tensei series of video games (including its spin-offs like the Persona series).Earlier this week (as spotted by Automaton) Nishitani replied to a user on X who suggested that modern video games aren’t as interested because they seem to be based…
It looks like the team behind upcoming animated Star Wars show Maul – Shadow Lord learned a lot from their predecessors, as they used traditional matte glass painting techniques to bring the cityscape of Janix to life.In an interview with the official Star Wars site, Vice President of Lucasfilm Animation Athena Portillo explained that the team opted for old-school filmmaking methods to create the backdrop. “Cinematography, Lighting and VFX Director Joel Aron really took it up a notch with going back to the practical ways of capturing brush strokes by painting them on glass, shooting them, then strategically placing them…
The character morphing system which has facilitated many a dickhead protagonist sprout devil horns and red eyes in the classic Fables isn’t in Playground Games reboot, which is set to arrive this autumn. As to why they’ve opted not to bring back the chance to grow a halo or be beset by baldness due to your bastardry, the studio say it’s a matter of opting for more regionally-focused reputation system and aiming to mirror “the subjectivity of morality that honestly we see in the world today”.
Riot’s League of Legends MMO is going to ruin my life. As someone who has spent far too many hours battling it out on Summoner’s Rift, while also spending far too many hours wandering the emerald plains of Azeroth and Eorzea, a Runeterra-set MMO really is a dream come true. But the game looks like it’s caught in development hell, with Riot co-founder Marc ‘Tryndamere’ Merrill confirming that the project had been “reset” back in 2024, and was going dark as a result. We’ve seen some signs of life since then – Merrill has said the “team has a great direction” -…

Spider-Man: Brand New Day director Destin Daniel Cretton has recently teased a “tonal shift” for the upcoming Spidey movie, as he wanted it to be different from the previous instalments starring Tom Holland.”All the creatives involved when I came on board wanted to do something that felt different,” he told ComicBook. “Of course, it’s still the Spider-Man that everybody loves, but this is a new chapter in his life, and that tonal shift was something that was really exciting to me. It felt really different, and it was an extremely gratifying experience.”Cretton, who is the co-creator of the new MCU…
Who would have thought that a predominately single-player, non-live-service RPG would hit over 100,000 concurrent players two and a half years after it launched? Baldur’s Gate 3 is just built different, and the genre-defining fantasy game has done just that. According to SteamDB, the game hit 111,544 concurrent Steam players on Sunday, January 18, and Larian CEO Swen Vincke says that both it and Divinity Original Sin 2 have seen a spike in sales since the announcement of Divinity at The Game Awards.
