2 years 11 months ago

Warner Bros. and DC Comics have confirmed the existence of an animated movie based on the Injustice series. The confirmation of the film comes via a press release for the upcoming Batman: The Long Halloween, Part Two.

Buried in the middle of the press release for Batman: The Long Halloween, Part Two is a list of bonus features for the upcoming animated movie. While the list includes a new animated short starring Blue Beetle, a double feature of the Two-Face arc from Batman: The Animated Series, and DC Universe Movies Flashbacks for Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 2 and Batman: Hush, a certain tease caught our eye. One of the bullet-point features listed as a bonus to both the Blu-ray and digital versions of The Long Halloween, Part Two, is "a Sneak Peek at the next DC Animated Movie – An advanced look at Injustice."

You can see the trailer for Batman: The Long Halloween, Part Two below.

Does Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer Still Hold Up? – Game Informer Live

2 years 11 months ago

Click to watch embedded media

Mass Effect Legendary Edition is without a doubt the best way to enjoy the series, however, it lacks one standout feature that made the original trilogy so great: Mass Effect 3 multiplayer. Join the Game Informer crew alongside special guest Derek Hollan, former BioWare developer, to see if the fan-favorite game mode still holds up. Spoilers: it does, and we'd love to see Mass Effect 3 multiplayer find its way into Mass Effect Legendary Edition.

But why wasn't multiplayer included in the recent release of Legendary Edition? In a previous interview with Game Informer, BioWare developer Kevin Meek had this to say:

Injustice Animated Movie Officially Announced by DC, Warner Bros.

2 years 11 months ago
DC has revealed its next direct-to-video animated movie, and it's a big one. The wildly popular fighting game Injustice: Gods Among Us is getting a movie adaptation. Oddly, neither DC nor Warner Bros. Animation made a formal announcement of the new project. Instead, its existence was revealed via a press release for Batman: The Long Halloween, Part Two. Among the bonus features included on that Blu-ray set will be a trailer for an Injustice movie. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2017/05/17/injustice-2-the-movie-all-cutscenes-1080p-60fps"] At this time, no other details are known about the Injustice movie, though with The Long Halloween, Part Two scheduled for a July 2021 release, it seems likely we'll see the Injustice drop before the end of the year. It remains to be seen just how closely the movie will follow the plot of the original game and whether the game's voice cast will reprise their roles for the film. 2013's Injustice: Gods Among Us and its 2017 sequel are set in an alternate DC Universe where Superman is driven mad after being tricked by Joker into killing his wife Lois and their unborn child. Five years after that tragedy, Superman rules the world with an iron fist, forcing the Justice League of the regular DCU to cross dimensions and battle this tyrannical Man of Steel. The Injustice saga has also been greatly expanded through various spinoff comics, which flesh out the five years leading up to the events of the first game and then bridge the gap between the first game and the sequel. It's possible the animated movie could be an adaptation of the comics rather than the games, or even an entirely new story set within this dystopian DC Universe. Presumably a formal announcement of the Injustice movie will follow, hopefully with plot details and a confirmation of the cast and crew involved.

Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Remake On Switch Locks Fast-Travel Behind Loftwing Amiibo

2 years 11 months ago

Click here to watch embedded media

Earlier today, we shared a first look at the latest Amiibo to join the Nintendo lineup for the Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD remake coming to Nintendo Switch. The Amiibo is stunning, but there is an unfortunate downside to its availability. For those that were looking forward to being able to fast-travel, the new Amiibo becomes a "must-buy" instead of just a "want-buy." 

The new Zelda and Loftwing Amiibo are detailed and adorable, but also come bearing a paywall. For those that played the original, you may remember that traveling between locations was somewhat limited due to certain point locations being available. This is still very much available in the game but limited in its original iteration. With the new Zelda and Loftwing Amiibo, players will be able to travel with more freedom. While this feature is pretty neat, it is restricted to just the Amiibo at this time.

New EA Studio Dedicated to Open World Action-Adventure Will Be Led by Ex-Monolith Productions VP

2 years 11 months ago

EA has hired ex-Monolith (Shadow of Mordor) vice president Kevin Stephens to head a new studio focused on an open-world action-adventure game, GamesIndustry.biz reports.

 Stephens worked as head of Monolith Productions for a little over eight years, after a five-year stint as vice president of development at WB Games, and a decade on the engineering team at Monolith before that. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2017/10/10/6-funny-orc-moments-in-middle-earth-shadow-of-war"] The Seattle-based studio, currently unnamed, will potentially allow remote workers to supplement in-house employees. “We're still figuring out a lot of foundational questions," says Samantha Ryan, EA senior vice president and group general manager. Ryan was previously president at Monolith Productions, working with Stephens there and at Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment in the late 90’s. "How big? What games? How fast to grow? Kevin and I both know how important it is to get the foundations of any studio 'right' and he'll take his time to figure it all out. When you rush, you don't give yourself time to be thoughtful. Why rush?”

Stephens’ credits include engineering work on F.E.A.R., Condemned, plus the Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War games.

Anyone who stepped foot into the Whispering Rock Psychic Summer Camp in the original Psychonauts understands the charm of Double Fine’s iconic platformer. That’s largely due to Raz, Lili, and the rest of the crew, but it also stems from their unique psychic abilities, which made for a memorable gaming experience. With our heroes returning for another adventure in Psychonauts 2, the psychic cadets are growing in their abilities and able to command new powers, which players can use to pulverize the villainous censors and bad ideas. Join us as we give you an exclusive first look at Psychonauts 2’s latest ability: mental connection.

Psychonauts 2 picks up three days after the events of the original title with Raz joining the Psychonauts to learn from the world’s best psychic minds. Already late to class, our hero bumps heads with Hollis Forsythe, second in command at the Psychonauts, as she teaches her class in the ways of mental connection. According to Hollis, the ability allows users to link certain thoughts together to form associations. But there are always consequences to messing with people’s minds.
