PlayStation’s Worldwide Studios Chairman Shawn Layden has confirmed Sony will not be holding a PlayStation Experience event in 2018.
Layden made the announcement on the PlayStation Blogcast, saying “For 2018, I know this is going to be a disappointment to some people, but we decided to not hold PlayStation Experience this year.”
“We won’t have it in the States this year,” he continued. “The reasons behind that really are we don’t have…we have a lot of progress that we’re making on our games…Now that we have Spider-Man out the door, we’re looking down into 2019 games like Dreams and Days Gone.
Well what do you know: Nintendo had thought of Bowsette before the internet did, and the character was nearly in Super Mario Odyssey.
Though Bowsette is a character that took the internet by storm, it isn’t a real Nintendo creation, rather fan art that was spawned from the odd introduction of Peachette during this month’s jam packed Nintendo Direct. Or, at least we thought this idea of a Bowser and Princess Peach combination was entirely made up by fans, until today’s release of The Art of Super Mario Odyssey in Japan.

Throughout September, IGN is spotlighting the best TV coming your way in the 2018-2019 season. Today, we’ve got an exclusive look at YouTube’s upcoming sci-fi horror series, Origin, starring Harry Potter alums Tom Felton and Natalia Tena. According to YouTube, “In Origin…we meet a group of troubled passengers as they wake up on a damaged spaceship abandoned in deep space. Each having left behind a dark past in search of a fresh start on a newly colonized planet, they’re desperate to survive at all costs.

SoulCalibur VI, the next installment of Bandai Namco’s long-running fighting game series, is set to release on October 19 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Like the previous games, this one pits weapon-wielding combatants against each other and sees the inclusion of many familiar faces for anyone who’s played the previous games–or anyone who’s played The Witcher, for that matter.
If you’re ready to go all-in on SoulCalibur VI, you’ll probably want to know about any pre-order bonuses, what comes with each edition of the game, and where you can get it. Below, we’ve gathered all of the information you need to make an informed pre-order decision. Let’s get to it.
SoulCalibur VI Pre-Order Bonus
A few retailer-exclusive pre-order bonuses are available for the game. If you pre-order SoulCalibur VI from Best Buy, you’ll receive a free 3.5-inch-tall mini figure of Talim (while supplies last). GameStop, meanwhile, is giving away the Ivy Valentine Figpin seen above. Finally, pre-ordering from the PlayStation Store gets you a free SoulCalibur VI PS4 theme.
Standard Edition
The standard edition contains the game itself, plus any applicable pre-order bonuses. The best deal at the time of this writing is at Newegg, where you’ll save $10.
Deluxe Edition
Physical versions of the deluxe edition come with the season pass, the soundtrack on CD, and a metal case with a built-in soundbox that can play four voiceover snippets. Digital versions cost $10 less but only contain the game and season pass.
Collector’s Edition
The $150 collector’s edition comes with even more items. You’ll get everything included in the deluxe edition, plus a 120-page art book and a 12-inch collectible Sophitia figure, all packaged in a long collector’s edition box.
Bruce Dern is set to replace the late Burt Reynolds in Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming film based on the Manson Family murders, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
As reported by Deadline, Dern will play the role of George Spahn, a rancher who owned Spahn Ranch in California and rented the venue out for filmmakers to shoot western movies. Spahn is now mostly known for allowing the Manson Family cult to reside at Spahn Ranch, and the murders of actress Sharon Tate and many others were allegedly planned at this location.
Dern became friends with Reynolds after co-starring in two films with him: the western TV movie Hard Ground, and the action TV movie Hard Time. Dern has also worked with Tarantino in his latest two films, playing General Sandy Smithers in The Hateful Eight, and Old Man Carrucan in Django Unchained.
Remember when everyone was certain that Overlord was going to be set in the Cloverfield-universe (and started calling it Cloverlord)? Well, it’s not but the film is finally here, and it is a lot of fun! Director Julius Avery has crafted an impressive film that is often more Saving Private Ryan than 28 Days Later.
Just like the first Predator, Overlord starts as a war drama, and then quickly switches gears and goes full monster film. We begin, much like Saving Private Ryan, with a scene of soldiers trying to invade France. It’s a nerve-wracking airdrop sequence that sets the tone for the rest of the film, where we get to know a group of American soldiers and listen to their banter, just before the plane gets shot down and we see the agonizing and harrowing reality of war. It’s a gorgeous and gritty scene, with rounds going off and planes exploding against the dark background of nighttime France, and Avery shoots the scene with the intensity of a veteran director (Overlord is only his second full-length feature).
