Clearly that following is big enough to get a sequel off the ground, but appearing at the Venice Film Festival (via Deadline), it appears that director Tim Burton doesn’t quite understand why it was so successful and developed such a following. “As much as I love it, I never understood why it was a success,” Burton said of the original film.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings “I could never place the film as some…
Read moreConcord, a hero shooter and PlayStation’s latest big live-service title, appears to not be selling very well at all.If you were to only listen to big wig executives, you’d think that live-service games are where it’s at for all gamers everywhere. Yeah, sure, there are a select few that are immensely popular like Genshin Impact and Fortnite, but for the most part, it really just doesn’t work for a lot of games. Yet following on from PlayStation’s massive hit Helldivers 2, it recently released another shooter, this time of the hero variety, Concord. Except, very quickly, it became apparent that the game wasn’t going very well, with the game receiving a concurrent player count peak of 697, which it hasn’t managed to top since launch. And now, in a report from IGN, industry analysts are saying…

As it turns out, there was a little more to one of these final cutscenes, and a modder’s now restored it.As with the majority of the more interesting works that’ve popped up as part of a Witcher 3 modding rennaisance over the last few months, this one wouldn’t have been possible without the REDkit modding tools.

Read moreI don’t mean to alarm you, but some Final Fantasy 16 players on PS5 have recently found their nice little playthroughs invaded by large black blobs or boxes that threaten to ruin poor Clive’s day. No, this isn’t some DLC, it looks to be part of some graphical issues that’ve followed a recent update to the console’s firmware, which Sony and Square Enix have said they’re looking into.Taking a glance at Reddit or Twitter, you’ll find a number of posts with players showing off or talking about problems they’ve run into. My personal favorite is the clip I’ve embedded below of someone having to outrun a void that’s seemingly decided to chase them around a bit and momentarily swallow Mr Rosfield whole.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings “The PS5 system updat…

It wasn’t clear by how much, but yesterday, during a Hobbit Day Showcase, the developer alongside the game’s publisher Private Division announced that you can now expect to play Tales of the Shire on March 25, 2025. That’s pretty much exactly six months away, and just a few months into the new year, so considering it was meant to be out in 2024, you’ve really not got that much longer to wait.A Hobbit Day Showcase | Tales of the Shire Exclusive Inside Look Watch on You…

Read moreThe Franchise has received a new official trailer, and it certainly looks like it’s going to capture how terrible making a superhero must be.I think we all know by now that making a movie is often a stressful experience, and that’s putting it lightly. You can only imagine how awful it must be to work on a Marvel film in particular, considering how terribly (allegedly) those that make all the CG are treated, not even mentioning how literally everything is greenscreened these days. But clearly Succession writer and producer Jon Brown felt that after almost 20 years of Marvel movies, and a bit less than that of DC ones, it was time for a satire that tackled actually making one of those blockbusters.
