Generally speaking, camera angles fall into five major categories: The bird’s-eye view, high angle, eye level, low angle, and the oblique/canted angle. Hitchcock was a big fan of this camera angle, and there’s a good example of it, coincidentally, in 1963’s The Birds. High angle shot. High angle shot. These are all the different ways filmmakers use camera angles to secretly tell you things about their movies without you realising it.

The majority of staff within both of BioWare’s development studios are now working on Anthem, Kotaku’s Jason Schreier reports, citing three internal sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “Anthem’s up next”, promised Darrah, “but there are people hard at work on both franchises and I look forward to sharing more in the future.”Halfway through my trip to Barcelona!I’m here showing Anthem internally to EA. What are your thoughts on the rumoured Anthem delay? Would you have preferred to p

For some reason Sea of Thieves currently describes playing alone as “a more perilous journey” that’s only for “experienced players”. The Sea of Thieves Beta is running this weekend (it finishes on Monday), and I’ve had plenty of time with Rare’s grogg-swilling sim already. Learn how to sail straightWhen you choose a solo journey you’ll be given pretty much the same ship as the two player option. While in a group you can stay alive through the power of teamwork, here you just have to stay moving.

We’ve all had life-affirming moments that we really wish we could end up pressing the rewind button on. Rian Johnson, though? ); for Johnson, there’s nothing he’d change about Star Wars: The Last Jedi. The backlash was so great, though, that it seemed to completely sink Johnson – for a few days at least. It’s his baby, and he’s got no regrets: what you see is what you get, for better or worse.

After watching the first teaser for a Star Wars: The Last Jedi deleted scene, you might be wondering why it didn’t make the cut. It’s got all the ingredients of an iconic sequence: a Jedi training montage, spectacular visuals – and even Rey showing her mentor, Luke Skywalker, who’s the boss. The brief clip, which you can take a gander at above in The Star Wars Show’s latest video (skip to 3:56 for the goodies) sees a quick sizzle reel of Rey action. “That old legend of Luke Skywalker that you ha

Been waiting to buy that amazing PS4 game or Xbox One game? Well, today could be the day as Amazon is offering £10 off all purchases over £50. Pre-order games don’t appear to be able to have the discount applied and you’ll need to make sure that the order is fulfilled by Amazon itself.

Horizon: Zero Dawn is the source of endless beautiful screenshots but – to my knowledge – none of them have ever included a cameo from one of America’s favorite talk show hosts. In an image posted by Reddit user AtlasFlynn today, Aloy witnesses the spectral form of Conan O’Brien in a distant plume of volcanic smoke. In case you can’t see the resemblance, here’s Reddit user jredi with a quick photo-manipulated assist that should cinch it for you. I can kinda see those, too (last three photo illus

Dragon Ball FighterZ is not only true to its source material, but ranks among the best as a 2D fighting game. When I was young, I couldn’t wait to get home from school, flip over to Cartoon Network’s Toonami programming block, and watch an episode of Dragon Ball Z. But, if we’re being honest with ourselves, Dragon Ball Z rarely introduces complexity into its spectacular fights. I mean… holy shit Dragon Ball Z, I thought you were cooler than that. I find myself thinking about Dragon Ball Fighte

His career mode overall (‘OVR’) was recently amended to 84, and you can expect his Ultimate Team card to follow suit. If career mode is anything to go by, it’ll be two points higher, at 77. Tarkowski and skipper Ben Mee form the foundation of that backline, yet the 25-year-old is still rated silver in Ultimate Team, with an OVR of 73. He’ll surely be bumped to gold, with a 75 minimum (career mode suggests 78!) Going by career mode it’s about to be bumped to 85, with some of those in-forms automa

Remember ‘The Avengers Project’, that new game coming from the Tomb Raider studio that Square Enix announced in January 2017? It just got an infusion of promising talent from around the industry, including a former Naughty Dog leader who was creative director of Uncharted: The Lost Legacy just last year. A supergroup of developers building a game about a supergroup of heroes feels right, but it does come with one slightly sour note: it shows that The Avengers Project is still a long way out. Bar

A new trailer for Pacific Rim: Uprising has arrived, and this one gives us a bit more of a tease for the overall plot, as well as some answers to questions raised by the first trailer – namely, why did we see several moments of a Jaeger fighting another Jaeger? And if an evil Jaeger wasn’t bad enough, it also looks like there’s… holy crap, a Jaeger-Kaiju hybrid? I liked the first trailer for this movie, but it’s the new revelations and teases provided by this second trailer that have me giddy

Unfortunately, CD Projekt Red still hasn’t said anything more than “when it’s ready” about a Cyberpunk 2077 release date. Here are five things that Cyberpunk 2077 needs to do to be the high-tech, low-life game we’ve always wanted. Cyberpunk 2077 has to have great hacking (or none at all)Art from the original Cyberpunk 2020. Cyberpunk 2077 has to actually come outIt’s been more than five years since Cyberpunk 2077 was first announced. The studio just made the unconventional choice to announce Cyb

As the name might suggest, the PC Gamer Weekender is all about celebrating the best in PC gaming. What better way to do that than gorging yourself on strategy games and crushing your enemies (friends) under your heel? The selection covers everything from the trenches of World War 2 with Company of Heroes 2, to the deep recesses of galactic politics with Endless Space 2. And no strategy collection would be complete without Warhammer, which is why there’ll be Total War: Warhammer, Warhammer 40K: D

For the Resident Evil fans, Kamiya’s thread reveals some really interesting nuggets of behind-the-scenes info about RE2 that make the whole thing worth reading, including his working relationship with Shinji Mikami himself. (1/16)January 24, 2018RE2 was the first game I got to direct, so it holds a special place in my memories. (2/16)January 24, 2018I also made many wrong decisions, and I’m sure you all know we even had to start from scratch at one point (the canned version later became known as

Perhaps being wary of the series getting long in the tooth, he had this to say: “It’s the perfect time to end it. Firstly, it’s going to be so darn hard to say farewell to a show that has dominated our lives for nearly a decade (!) But if it’s going to be hard for us, just imagine how the actors must be feeling. For Dinklage, that’s going to be the hardest part of wrapping everything up: “It’s bittersweet when it’s time to move on with everything. Wish Thrones could stay post-season 8, think it’

After a long time away we finally have an all new Monster Hunter game in the shape of Monster Hunter World. We’ve really taken the chance to step back and look at what Monster Hunter is. Resident Evil 7 has had a very well received overhaul and reboot, was there ever discussion about something similar for Monster Hunter World? The Monster Hunter series has a pretty hardcore fan base. When we first announced these there were definitely some veteran Monster Hunters who were like ‘it’s not Monster

The Walking Dead season 8 is going to be returning with a bumper episode. After the biting events of the mid-season finale, there’s going to be a lot of ground to cover. Not only is the episode going to deal with everything that happened with that character, it’s going to be stretched out into just shy of feature film length. Spoilers for The Walking Dead season 8 follow…According to ComicBook.com, the runtime will be a staggering 82 minutes. I still think that The Walking Dead can be a show wit

Everyone who tuned in for The Walking Dead season 8, episode 8 – “How It’s Gotta Be” – surely knows what’s coming when the show returns for its midseason premiere on February 25. With no cure or antidote for the zombie virus in the Walking Dead universe and a 100% mortality rate, Carl is a goner. First, not many really saw it coming – in the Walking Dead comic series, Carl is still alive. You just really, really want to make sure that they have an opportunity to show people what their character

Welcome to the real world. Now, the idea that Zion and ‘the real world’ might actually be a secondary, back-up Matrix is nothing new. What if Matrix powers worked in the real world? Then, Smith’s abilities make sense, and suddenly the Exiles are no freer than anyone else, their supposed dealings with those outside the Matrix actually nothing of the sort. He can do a lot of what he can do in the Matrix, but in the real world.

God of War for PS4 finally has an official release date: it’s coming out on April 20, 2018. Sony confirmed the date that Kratos will return with a new trailer that focuses on the story players will uncover as they play the game – particularly the ramifications of a former(?) god wandering off into a new realm and starting a family. Sony also announced a new set of rewards for folks who pre-order God of War, including this set of stylish shield skins. I don’t think they called different shield de
