The director hired to kick off the franchise might not be a household name, but his previous work is very, very good – and it might just hint at what’s to come from the first CoD movie. Sicario 2 is on the horizon and, as the trailer below shows, he’s already very much knee-deep in the kind of action you’d come to expect from a Call of Duty movie. In fact, it’s very Modern Warfare. The Modern Warfare series looks at what it’s like to fight a war with the eyes of the world on you. And then maybe

Last week, we got the Valentines’ Day crossbow, and Epic laid out an exciting state of development roadmap for the future, detailing 6 changes coming to Battle Royale that already have us doing our best victory dance. Today’s update, which is now live and playable, brings a host of new tweaks and goodies to the mix, on top of a special surprise for any PS4 players who want to express their true and blue colours with a touch more pizazz. If you manage to come across one of these, and it hasn’t al

Because, let’s face it, Star Trek Discovery was hardly met with universal acclaim when it began. It is a sci-fi that tries to imitate Star Trek made by people that are clueless about Star Trek,” (Wizzer), “This is total trash and not worth watching!” (afngary). The fan reception wasn’t much better on the Star Trek sub-Reddit: “I just want a Star Trek show about exploration. And yet, just a few months later, people are talking about Star Trek Discovery in very excited terms. If you’re already loo

Altered Carbon ‘s torture scene is one of the more grueling moments in the dark science fiction series, but readers of the original novel will know that it could’ve been so much worse. “The whole point of that [scene] in the book is, I believe the quote is: ‘Women are the race. “We have more nerves per square inch, we have heightened pain tolerance, we last longer,” she continues. It’s going to turn into some torture porn thing, and I wasn’t comfortable with that.” “It was never a conversation w

At one point (2011, specifically), nine members of the fandom even formed an indie development group dubbed “Mane6” and began developing a 2D fighting game called My Little Pony: Fighting is Magic. The game drew tons of attention, even garnering an invitation to the EVO fighting game tournament in 2012 and 2013. So now, instead of Applejack, the pony with the rough-and-tumble attitude of a cowgirl, Them’s Fightin’ Herds has Arizona, an actual cow girl. Them’s Fightin’ Herds will also only have s

Florence is the story of a 25-year-old woman meeting a musician named Krish and falling in love. GamesRadar+: When you’re making a game about love, do you listen to sappy songs and watch endless romantic movies? It’s not easy for anyone, and I think that’s part of why the game resonates. So Florence was like that – it sounds old-fashioned in Australia, and Florence means blossoming. You can download Florence on iOS now for $2.99 (or in the UK for £2.99 here ) and the game will be released on And

Sea of Thieves is steadily revealing many of the secrets it held back from the closed beta, and now it may have even released the Kraken… albeit unintentionally. Spoiler warning: If you truly value having the half-digested bananas and grog scared out of you, you may want to skip viewing these leaked images and let your first Sea of Thieves Kraken encounter be a complete surprise. Rare says the Kraken can use these tentacles to pick pirates up and thrash them about, or even swallow them whole. It

It’s about time that their supernatural cousins, werewolves, finally made a comeback in their very own action RPG. And sure enough, White Wolf’s upcoming game Werewolf: The Apocalypse is a breath of fresh air (with just a hint of the smell of wet dog). Read more 10 best open-world games of all timeIn the words of Desourteaux, “take our world, paint it darker, and you have our game”. Set in the modern day, the world of Werewolf is ruled by three entities: Gaia, the Weaver, and the Wyrm. As the ma

Yet games, arguably, are better placed to show the progress of romantic love than a 100 minute movie or several-episode slices of TV. And what would it mean for games to be better at love? Right now it seems that games haven’t quite gotten it right, even if there are an increasing number of examples where love is being better represented. You may think that games don’t need love. But more and more we need love to be more than just a motivation or emotional tool in games… we need it to be the cen

So don’t spoon-feed me happy endings that resolve everything with no untidy loose ends. Oh, by the way, there are spoilers below for La La Land and Bojack Horseman. But happy endings still give me a bad taste in my mouth. Take La La Land , for example. Hoping that a happy ending is somewhere in the future is the remedy to all this.

We’ve approximated some dates, but this table shows you the gap between ‘Announcement’ and ‘Release’ of GTA games, plus the time elapsed between major entries. Yes, there have been strange sub-quests in GTA games before, but none quite as unrealistic as time travelling. GTA has traditionally opted for a more grounded take on supernatural phenomena, at least until the edge-of-reality GTA Online update The Doomsday Heist, which featured flying cars and orbital lasers. Los Santos was the largest ga

A few years ago, Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon were nothing more than faded mascots of a long lost era. Fast forward to today, and we now find ourselves facing the very real possibility of a remastered Spyro trilogy coming to PS4, hot off the heels of last year’s Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy, which sold like hot cakes and is probably the reason why the little purple dragon is making his comeback. According to a new report on Kotaku , publisher Activision and developer Vicarious Visions

But one star who’ll likely end the season empty-handed, despite continuing his run of captivating performances in excellent films and TV shows, is Adam Driver. In that time there’s been plenty of opportunities for the Academy to award him an Oscar, but to date he is yet to pick up even a nomination. Multiple critics’ organisations paved the way by awarding his understated turn in Jarmusch’s Paterson, but there was no Oscar nomination at the end of the road. Among those to have never won an Oscar
