Sea of Thieves may let would-be buccaneers return to the high seas or take their maiden voyage in an upcoming open beta. It appears it will let us lend our cutlasses to the Order of Souls, an in-game faction that was absent from January’s closed beta. That should help with complaints about a lack of mission variety in the closed beta. You had to either pre-order Sea of Thieves or belong to the game’s insiders program to get into the closed beta, so an open beta would be a chance for everybody el

Cable is here and he is so not ready to be Wade Wilson’s best friend in the newest trailer for Deadpool 2. There’s still a lot more Actual Movie in this teaser than that bizarre ‘wet on wet’ Bob Ross parody trailer, though, which… I mean, I guess it’s a good thing. New director David Leitch, director of Atomic Blonde and co-director of John Wick, has done a deft job of punching up the action as well. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds fans should really appreciate how well Deadpool puts a frying pan

Grand Theft Auto 5 players certainly could, and were more than happy to make their comparisons between yesterday’s SpaceX launch and the kind of bonkers madness you can accomplish in Rockstar’s open-world crime-fest. If you’ve played Grand Theft Auto 5, then you know that driving cars in the game also allow you to explore some unique and stylish camera options. New GTA DLC looks Sick 👍🏼 #SpaceX #FalconHeavy #gta pic.twitter.com/HfOQtwDjN9February 6, 2018while playing gta “I’m gonna drive like no

With Red Dead Redemption 2 swiftly galloping towards an October release date, now’s the perfect time to jump back into the saddle with John Marston’s emotive open-world epic. Thanks to Xbox One’s exhaustive list of backwards-compatible titles, I’ve recently gotten reacquainted with Red Dead Redemption. Even after all these years, the Old West playground Rockstar San Diego built has the power to elicit stunned silence. Red Dead Redemption is a poignant tribute to the dying days of the Old West; o

Ready for some more Star Wars? Which means that, along with the Han Solo movie, Star Wars 9, Rian Johnson’s trilogy and the Thrones’ creators series, we’re getting at least a couple of TV series to complement it. That’s a lotta Star Wars. I’ve always thought that, despite being overwhelmed with Star Wars recently, we’re missing a more intimate, street-level story. Think a Daredevil-type show but swapping the Big Apple for Coruscant, or an adaptation of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.

Like them or loathe them, loot boxes will be appearing in your games, and probably on your bank statements, for the foreseeable future. Julian Gollop, the co-creator of X-Com and the man behind its spiritual successor, Phoenix Point (playable at the PC Gamer Weekender ) thinks the real issue is the intent behind them. “I think loot boxes are problematic when included in premium priced games, but the main problem is publishers being too greedy,” he says. I am not sure you can say loot boxes are a

Arcade game adaptation Rampage is gearing up to be one of the biggest, smashiest films of the season. Dwayne Johnson stars as the human trying to save the day while three genetically-mutated monsters lay waste to all the tower blocks in their path (much like they did in the aforementioned game). “The thing that was very different [to previous collaboration San Andreas] was, no one’s ever made Dwayne look small before,” he tells Total Film. “Every major scene with a creature, I had to shoot Dwayn

One of the first things you probably asked yourself as soon as you started watching Netflix Original Altered Carbon was, would you resleeve if you could? I couldn’t help but ask the Altered Carbon cast if they’d considered the same question when I sat down with them to talk about the series recently, and I was surprised that their answers were more complex than a simple yes or no. Star of the show Joel Kinnaman agrees with the message of Altered Carbon, that cheating death would be bad for human

Jennifer Lawrence is one of the most exciting actors working today, and it looks like Red Sparrow is only going to build on the reputation. “Sparrow School [a Russian intelligence service where Egorova learns about seduction] was definitely daunting,” she admits, “because what you see, you know, I really did. In doing this film, in doing this for my art… I really felt, I still feel, empowered,” she says. Not, she’s quick to point out, that appearing naked in a film can be compared to what happen

If you were to conjure the most powerful pop-culture chimera possible, it would have the head of Game of Thrones and the body of Star Wars. Weiss, co-creators of the Game of Thrones TV show, to write and produce a new series of Star Wars films. Can’t stop them from making ‘vwoom vwoom’ noises under their breath while filming fight scenes, though. Star Wars: The Last Jedi spoiler-free reviewDisney confirmed in the same announcement that the new film series will be separate from the Skywalker Saga

Sony Pictures’ Venom film has wrapped filming and will soon head into post-production. So that being said, here are six things we want to see in the Venom movie when it arrives later this year. The Venom movie doesn’t need to go full slapstick or anything, but it would be nice to see some dark humor – perhaps an homage to this scene from the Venom: Lethal Protector series, which the movie is partly based on? The Venom symbiote has snapped spines, suffocated victims by snaking tendrils down their

One player, who goes by the handle “Indoor Snowman” on Twitter, shared their… shall we say “regrettable” experience. Plenty of other players are loading their capsules up with powerful items or materials to give new players a helping hand. “I felt so guilty knowing I accidentally ate someone’s beloved pets,” Indoor Snowman wrote. Tikara encouraged Indoor Snowman to keep playing, and that there were still more capsules from her waiting to be found. Tikara ended her conversation with Indoor Snow

Or at least there is if we focus on Ripley’s personal character journey during the first three movies. Few film franchise protagonists evolve and grow as much as Ellen Ripley does between Alien and Alien 3. We just need to imagine that Alien: Resurrection is a fever dream Ripley has while she’s falling into the smelting pit to die at the end of Alien 3. She’s literally a simulated daughter, Ripley’s subconscious acknowledgement of her ongoing search for a replacement Amanda. But as the real Ripl

The beta for PS4 software update 5.50 has begun, and it’s a preview of the (extremely) long-awaited features coming for all of us once testing concludes. Finally, once software update 5.50 arrives, your Library’s getting some properly powerful organization tools – perhaps even more potent than the Dewey Decimal System (don’t tell Conan the Librarian I said that). First off, your Library will now automatically be divided into two tabs: ‘This PS4’ and one displaying your username. Update 5.50 will

The problem with Netflix / NBC’s absurdly-addictive The Good Place is that you want to tell everyone to watch The Good Place – like, seriously, now – but can’t explain why. Honestly, you won’t have much choice, and The Good Place is best watched – inhaled, even – with all the story in place. Good Janet. Impossible as it sounds, The Good Place acts like a Philosophy for Dummies crash course, without darkening the tone, or ruining its flow. “But the most refreshing thing about “The Good Place,” in

It’s easy to think that just buying a new smartphone means you’re automatically getting the best phone for gaming this year. We’re still testing several phones, but this is our ranking for the current best phones for gaming available right now. This question meant that PC peripheral and laptop manufacturer Razer was initially met with derision upon announcing its gaming phone. If I want to burn my night with Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp or Threes or the latest Monument Valley it’s my iPhone X ev

More Red Dead Redemption 2 information has arrived after last week’s announcement that the game was being delayed to October, but this news isn’t of the official kind. Instead, it comes by way of TrustedReviews, who claim to have obtained an internal Rockstar development memo revealing more details about Red Dead Redemption 2’s multiplayer, open world, and more. According to the report, written by TrustedReview’s Jordan King, the development notes mention three multiplayer modes for Red Dead Red

By now, you’ve probably seen the Westworld season 2 trailer (if not, head right this way for the big Super Bowl trailers) but, this being Westworld, nothing is ever straightforward. In fact, an eagle-eyed fan has spotted an easy-to-miss code within the trailer which leads to – you guessed it – a hidden website. In that, Delos ran three parks: Westworld, Roman World and Medieval World. A Game of Thrones-inspired Westworld season, anyone? Could we be seeing founder James Delos (providing he’s stil

Is Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 marching onto Nintendo Switch this year? One plucky Nintendo writer predicts that 2018’s inevitable Call of Duty installment will be Black Ops 4 – and it’ll be coming to Nintendo Switch. We don’t know his sources, and Activision won’t talk to use about it, but it prompted a response from James C. Burns, who plays Sgt. Frank Woods in Call of Duty: Black Ops and Black Ops 2. We are still investigating, but can confirm that the event was triggered while the nuke count h
