Blizzard Casts Doubt on Diablo 4 BlizzCon Announcement

BlizzCon 2018 is almost here, but a new post from Blizzard strongly suggests we won’t see any new Diablo projects announced.

“We’ve seen a lot of rumors flying around about our plans for Diablo at the show,” reads a post on the Blizzard forums. “These are very exciting times—we currently have multiple teams working on different Diablo projects and we can’t wait to tell you all about them . . . when the time is right.”

The post goes on to say that “good things come to those who wait, but evil things often take longer”. While Blizzard may not be ready to share all its projects, the company promised that it does intend to share “some Diablo-related news” at the show.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Patch Changes Blackout Mode’s Player Counts

A patch released for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 has increased the player count for Blackout’s Duos mode to 100, while also dropping the player count for Quads mode to 88.

In an update post on Reddit, Treyarch explained that it was still testing out maximum player counts across its modes, and encouraged players to give feedback regarding the extra enemies they’d soon see roaming the battlefield in Duos. The previous Quads maximum player count was 100 — the only mode in the game to support that number of players.

Hunter Killer Review

Considering all the ludicrous moments in Hunter Killer, I was longing for the film to lean into Roland Emmerich-esque self-awareness. But through po-faced monologues, intense eye-acting and gung-ho theatrics, Hunter Killer remains resolutely serious, and misses the opportunity to have a little fun in among the action.

Based on the 2012 novel Firing Point by Don Keith and George Wallace, Hunter Killer centres on a mission commandeered by US submarine Commander Joe Glass (Gerard Butler) to rescue the Russian president, held hostage by his own Defence Minister Dmitri Durov (Mikhail Gorevoy) on Russian soil.

Aiding the central mission are a group of Navy Seals on the ground led by Bill Beaman (Toby Stephens), and National Security Agency senior analyst Jayne Norquist (Linda Cardellini), Rear Admiral John Fisk (Common), and Admiral Charles Donnegan (Gary Oldman) at the Department of Defence back in the USA. Hunter Killer spends most of its time flitting between the three American groups, giving only a cursory glance toward the Russians, who are mostly shorthanded as evil thanks to Gorevoy’s scarred, reddened face.

2006’s Prey Was Portal Before Portal

The 1998 E3 trailer for 3D Realms’ Prey was quick to tout its use of ‘portal technology,’ but it ultimately never panned out for the developers, who ended up releasing a considerably different version of the game in 2006. 3D Realms co-founder Scott Miller sat down on this month’s IGN Unfiltered to share behind-the-scenes details on the development of Prey, as well as the cancellation of Prey 2.

Red Dead Redemption 2: Physical Edition Could Come on 2 Discs

What seems to be Japanese packaging for Red Dead Redemption 2 has appeared online and, if genuine, it shows that the PS4 physical edition is spread across 2 discs.

On the game’s back cover, a symbol indicating the double-disc format is shown:

Double-disc games are more familiar from older generations of console, when games could far outstrip the storage capacity of optical discs.

13 Underrated Horror Movies From The ’90s That Everyone Needs To See

https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/scale_super/1557/15576725/3384113-01mouth2.jpg

The 1990s may have released plenty of horror movies that were popular with mass audiences, but it is not remembered as one of the genre’s strongest decades. While many movies in the ’70s and ’80s pushed horror in new directions, the most successful horror films of the ’90s were either remakes (The Haunting), adaptations (Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Interview with a Vampire), and self-referential deconstructions of the genre (Scream). Only Blair Witch Project, at the end of the decade, gave mainstream audiences a taste of something a bit more unusual.

But away from the big hits, there were some fascinating movies during the decade that did take risks, delivered scares, and entertained in a way studio films did not. There were underrated efforts from some of the biggest horror directors of the past decades, some emerging voices who would form an important part in the development of the genre over the coming years, and impressive shockers from other parts of the world.

We went through the decade to find some of the best movies that you may have missed out on while you were skateboarding on a vert ramp or repeating lines from Clueless to your friends. So here’s 13 underrated ’90s horror movies well worth rediscovery.

Here’s When You Can Start Pre-Loading Red Dead Redemption 2

Red Dead Redemption 2 is fast approaching, and you can be prepared to venture into the Old West by having it loaded and ready to go for launch. Rockstar has announced that pre-loading will begin on Friday, October 19 at 12 AM ET, or 9 PM PT on Thursday.

In the tweet announcing the pre-load timing, the studio also gave word that the launch trailer will debut on Thursday at 10 AM ET / 7 AM PT. That should be our last long look at the game before its launch next Friday, October 26. Rockstar is giving plenty of time for the pre-load, which makes sense given that it weighs in at a whopping 90 GB.

Pre-loading also means you pre-ordered, which will net you a cash bonus for the story mode, and some bonus GTA$ for Grand Theft Auto Online. Those who pre-ordered by July 31 will also get a treasure map for a head-start on making their fortune on the frontier. The physical editions come with a wide variety of bonuses, including physical items in the Special and Ultimate editions. A separate Collector’s Box, which doesn’t include the game, comes with a bunch of tchotchkes like a pin set, bandana, playing cards, and tithing box with lock and key. You can read more details in our pre-order guide.

It appears Rockstar has crafted a massive open world to explore, with no shortage of activities and detail. You can fish and hunt, your clothes will degrade, and dialogue will shift based on your personal hygiene. Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser estimates it has 500,000 lines of dialogue.

All that ambition appears to have come at a cost, though, as Houser also stated that the studio has had 100-hour work weeks to deliver on the promise. He later clarified that he was referring only to a few senior members of the team having intensive writing sessions, and that the studio doesn’t expect such long hours from its team as a whole.

Ant-Man & The Wasp: What We Learned From The Blu-Ray Audio Commentary

https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/scale_super/1562/15626911/3449181-decks1.jpg

After the soul-shattering ending of Avengers: Infinity War, Marvel movie fans needed a palate cleanser, something fun. That’s exactly what Ant-Man and The Wasp was. The down-to-Earth and grounded story carried heavy themes of father/daughter relationships while providing laughs the whole way through. Well, it was as grounded of a story you can tell about people who grow, shrink, phase through walls, and enter the teeny, tiny Quantum Realm.

While the film has already been released digitally, it’s coming to DVD and Blu-Ray on Tuesday, October 16. With the release comes quite a few special features–many of which are available digitally as well. One of the more interesting additions to the home release is the commentary from director Peyton Reed. Throughout the movie, Reed detailed every aspect of the story, directing his first sequel, the themes, and how certain scenes came together, including the final tag which connects Ant-Man and The Wasp to Infinity War.

We picked out the most interesting and insightful moments from the audio commentary that shed light of the movie-making process. If you’re interested in picking up Ant-Man and The Wasp, check out our pre-order guide detailing all different editions as well as what’s on the special features.

Hal Jordan Takes On Cyborg Superman In DC Comics’ Green Lanterns #57, Out Today

Hal Jordan–one of the Green Lanterns of Sector 2814, which includes Earth in its jurisdiction–has made plenty of enemies during his time as a space cop like Sinestro, Relic, and Nekron to name a few. However, one particular thorn in Jordan’s side isn’t even a Green Lantern villain, he’s one of Superman’s: Cyborg Superman.

That’s right, the half-robotic Superman impostor from the Return of Superman story in the ’90s is back, closing out the Evil’s Might storyline, but this time, Jordan isn’t holding back, and Cyborg Superman doesn’t have the help of the Ravagers. And who better to bring back this character than the person that created him, Dan Jurgens?

In Green Lanterns #57, Cyborg Superman–once known as Hank Henshaw–returns to Coast City, the home of Hal Jordan. When Henshaw shows up, things tend to go awry for the inhabitants of the city. However, Jordan is around this time to stop Henshaw’s destruction, as you can see in the exclusive preview of the issue above.

This story continues the Evil’s Might story, where Henshaw battled the Green Lantern Corps across the universe. The villain found a way to hack into the Green Lantern Corps rings and he teamed up with the Ravagers for the fight. Now, it’s just Jordan and Henshaw in this final battle for Coast City.

Green Lanterns #57 is written by Dan Jurgens, drawn by Mike Perkins, colored by Hi-Fi, and features lettering by Dave Sharpe. You can get a copy of the issue for yourself digitally or at a local comic shop on Wednesday, October 17.
