Unlike Game of Thrones, the nudity in Westworld is of great importance to the story, and without it what happens to the Hosts wouldn’t be as horrifying. That said, it’s still an important decision for any actor to appear nude on screen, especially when it’s as often as Thandie Newton’s character Maeve, who – along with Rachel Wood’s Dolores – probably has the most nude scenes out of everyone on the show. In fact, Newton felt more uncomfortable wearing Maeve’s saloon costume than any of the nude

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds helped parachute the Battle Royale genre into the mainstream – thanks to its addictive gameplay that’s perfect for streaming – and its success has spawned a new generation of similar titles. Mavericks: Proving Grounds is one of them, and it’s hoping its technical prowess will be what sets it apart from its rivals. “The key thing is that we’re building Mavericks: Proving Grounds very differently to the other Battle Royale games of today,” says Thompson. “It’s not jus

We like to spend our Thursday stewing in a hot bath of cowboys, Lohan legal woes, and classic warfare. Westworld’s latest trailer shows us Shogun WorldI’m impressed you made it this far through the day without watching the new trailer for Westworld, but that’s about to change. According to Reuters, the state Court of Appeals called Take-Two Interactive Software Inc’s depictions “nothing more than cultural comment.” Experience the horror of warfare for free with Spec Ops: The LineThe 2K Games sho

Despite his family connections and his love for The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, even he can’t get any answers on the studios super anticipated Elder Scrolls 6 . “He’s like, ‘OK, when is Elder Scrolls 6 coming?’” Howard says, relaying a conversation with his son. Really, the only thing we can be sure about regarding The Elder Scrolls 6 is that you’ve still got some time to wait before you’ll be playing it. The overlord of all Bethesda’s marketing and communications even tweeted in February that we c

It looks like Sea of Thieves has its first Pirate Legend – or at least the first one who is willing to share their secret with the world. Some taverns have a glowing waterfall, others a submerged cavern, but they all seem to grant access to the same legendary hideaway. Once you’re in there, you can hang out with a bunch of ghosts, buy exclusive Pirate Legend customization items, and even pick up legendary voyages. The emergence of the first Pirate Legend should’ve been a cause for celebration am

Yes, Pokemon Go is going to have a plot! Willow’s quests are split into two groups: Field Research and Special Research. Field Research tasks can be found by spinning a PokeStop, and are the easier of the two. Completing a Field Research challenge will net you a stamp (with a limit of one per day). Keep your eyes out for the Pokemon Go Field Research update, set to go live on March 30.

Fortnite Battle Royale is feeling fresh as daisies with update 3.4, replete with a new weapon as well as optimizations for visual quality and lag reduction. Here are five of the biggest changes to look out for in Fortnite version 3.4. Like life, the Guided Missile finds a wayThe new Guided Missile weapon does the same damage as an RPG. The Guided Missile is a builder’s worst nightmare – think twice about leaving exposed rooftops and partial enclosures! Did you know the game used to only update t

As you may already know Far Cry 5 has finally launched this week, and what better way to celebrate the release of this masterpiece than by making a whole episode of What’s In The Box? Ubisoft sent us over a Boomer Press Kit that allows you to quite literally treat your dog with Far Cry 5 accessories!

Jeff Goldblum has now been confirmed to be playing Dr. Ian Malcom in the forthcoming Jurassic World Evolution game, and thus Frontier Developments’ already exciting dinosaur theme park simulator has attained all-new levels of hype. But alas, being a late announcement meant that Goldblum’s uniquely brilliant presence was sadly lacking from the game’s original announcement trailer. Meeting Jeff at our recent Jurassic World Evolution hands-on, we opened by handing him that first trailer and asking

Because in Jurassic Park: Evolution, you can now take direct control of the most inevitably disaster-prone enterprise in modern sci-fi cinema history, and find out the answer for yourself. Realising that I currently have something more akin to a Sad Lizard Petting Zoo than a Jurassic World, I need to expand. Enter, the main structure of Jurassic World: Evolution, which involves branching missions and objectives offered by the bosses of the park’s three core pillars: Science, Security, and the af

Much less by Steven Spielberg! It would be a dream come true for any author, but for Cline it feels like more than that. “Warner Bros. owns The Iron Giant, and Steven loves The Iron Giant, and so did Zac, and so everybody loved the idea,” he says. “And the role grew into The Iron Giant playing a big role in the movie. So there’s a very amblin-esque nature to The Iron Giant, so I feel like it was already celebrating Spielberg a little bit.

If you’ve been under a rock (or even an asteroid), you might have missed the brouhaha surrounding Captain Marvel and its surprising cast list and space-faring synopsis. Why has no one on Earth mentioned Captain Marvel before? Set in the 1990s, “Captain Marvel” is an all-new adventure from a previously unseen period in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. She’s incredibly powerful now (hint hint: Avengers 4 is around the corner, folks), but Carol Danvers isn’t quite Captain Marvel yet. S

The game will also come with all of No Man’s Sky’s previous updates, including Foundation, Pathfinder, Atlas Rises, and the game’s newly announced patch – No Man’s Sky NEXT – which itself will be rolling out in the summer. Coming in Summer 2018 is No Man’s Sky NEXT, a free update for PS4, PC, Xbox and WeGame. “We’ve been working our socks off on this and it’s by far our biggest update so far. It will be free to existing players, and we’ll continue to support No Man’s Sky in this way for the fore

I talked to them recently about the new season and, as well as telling me how they keep secrets on set, they also revealed which shocking season 1 twist they didn’t see coming. I’ll give you three guesses, but you’re probably only going to need one… and, fair warning, if you haven’t seen season 1 yet – spoilers! “I think it was, for me – when we were shooting the first season – when we found out Bernard was a Host. And after an episode or two I was like ‘Maybe I’m too… maybe I’ve got to chil

You’re about to hear a lot more about Lost in Space. It’s Netflix’s big new sci-fi show, adapted from the 1960s series of the same name, and every episode is releasing on April 13, just in time to cheer you up during the post-Easter blues. Lost in Space revolves around the Robinson family, a quartet of space colonists who find themselves in deep, potentially deadly waters after their ship crash-lands onto a mysterious alien planet rife with discovery and danger. You’ll have to watch the show to

From a show floor full of incredibly varied indie titles, to hours upon hours of enlightening panels and presentations hosted by developers, GDC 2018 was a chance to look behind the curtain and take stock of how the industry is doing as a whole. Here are some key insights into how games are doing in general, and what makes them tick, from our panel of GDC 2018 attendees: Dan Dawkins, Rachel Weber, and Lucas Sullivan. GDC 2018 was short of headline acts, with the soft white spotlight belonging to

Lawnmower Man’s VR world is essentially like being trapped in a Magic Eye poster. There are only game pods, VR consoles that you jack directly into your spinal column via an artificial umbilical cord. VR game designer Allegra’s new game Existenz starts to cause the world around her and her friends to slowly disintegrate until their entire existential crisis is revealed to be itself the plot of another VR game. Brain virtual reality would actually be pretty great based on the fantasy tech in the

I don’t think it’s an understatement to say that Ready Player One has probably hundreds of Easter eggs to pore over. There’s also bound to be dozens more that you’ve never heard of, and that’s half the fun, right? The cast thought so too: watch them reveal some of their favourites, and the ones that left them scrambling for Wikipedia. Ben Mendelsohn’s favourite choice of Mad Max was something I didn’t even pick up on during my first watch of the movie. It’s clear just from the smiles as the cast

Tired of using boring old guns to fight people in Far Cry 5 ? You need the Magnopulser, a secret space weapon unlocked by completing missions for the UFO conspiracy nut Larry Palmer. It’s good for two things: sending bears flying and making bad guys pop like eggs in a microwave. Want more Far Cry 5 tips? We’ve got tonnes of guides, from how to craft in Far Cry 5 to the best Far Cry 5 GUNS for hire.

It’s next project is a reboot of 2006 Japanese RPG Ys Origin , bringing the project to Xbox for the first time. GamesRadar+: What made Ys Origin the choice for your next project? Being an Xbox owner and a JRPG fan, I thought there was a lack of titles from the genre on Xbox, and that Ys Origin could be a very good addition. Ys Origin is the story of how the whole series started and it makes just sense to start with this opus. Ys Origin is a great mix of action RPG and fabulous storyline in the p
