Apex Legends Emergence has begun (Season 10 patch notes are live too), introducing the 18th playable character: Obi Edolasim, aka "Seer." Like Season 9's Valkyrie, Seer is a recon legend, making him ideally suited to scouting and tracking. Unlike Valkyrie, Seer is better equipped for the latter than the former--he can't get a lay for the land or transport his allies to safety as easily as Valkyrie can, but Seer's abilities make him a powerful tracker.Below, we go over everything we've learned playing as Seer, including his weaknesses and strengths. We also detail which legends pair well with Seer's abilities, as well as how to play as the described "ambush artist" to take down your prey amidst the chaos of a battle royale.Seer's Abilities And Class SkillPassive Ability: Heart Seeker - Hear and visualize the heartbeats of enemies within 75m while aiming down sights.Tactical Ability: Focus of Attention - Summon micro-drones to emit a delayed blast that goes through walls, interrupting and revealing enemies.Ultimate Ability: Exhibit - Create a sphere of micro-drones that reveal the location of enemies moving quickly or firing their weapons within.Class Skill: Recon - Scan survey beacons to find the next location of the ringSeer's Strengths And WeaknessesSeer is a stealth-based tracker, ideally suited for pinpointing an enemy's location and surprising them with a carefully orchestrated ambush. He excels at close- to mid-range, so he should take the lead when enemies are within 75-100m. You should grab weapons designed for that range (our favorites are the G7 Scout, 30-30 Repeater, Bocek Compound Bow, and Rampage LMG) and take on a more supportive role from behind the close-range fighters on your squad if combat occurs in an open space.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

A new teaser trailer for the upcoming Netflix movie Don't Look Up has leaked. While the quality is not great, it does provide a good look at what to expect from the disaster movie that features Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence playing astronomers who embark on a media tour to tell people about a meteor that's expected to crash into Earth.The teaser trailer shows a scene in the Oval Office where DiCaprio and Lawrence's characters are trying to inform the President (Meryl Streep) and Chief of Staff (Jonah Hill) about their impending doom. The trailer also lists off the many big names who will also appear in the movie, including Rob Morgan, Mark Rylance, Tyler Perry, Timothee Chalamet, Cate Blanchett, Ron Perlman, Ariana Grande, and Scott Mescudi AKA Kid Cudi.The first #DontLookUp teaser...unfortunately I'm gonna have to stan. pic.twitter.com/JsiYSiQh5K — Baby Annette (@yosoymichael) August 2, 2021The movie was written and directed by Adam McKay, who previously directed Anchorman and Step Brothers before getting into somewhat more serious fare with The Big Short and Vice. He says Don't Look Up borrows a trope from Jaws where the mayor denies the existence of a killer shark, even though the evidence is all around him. In Don't Look Up, people seemingly don't want to believe the meteor is coming, even though experts say it is. Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The lawsuit goes on to state that "as a result of Defendants’ wrongful acts and omissions, and the precipitous decline in the market value of the Company’s common shares, Plaintiff and other Class members have suffered significant losses and damages."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

PC peripheral manufacturer Gigabyte has confirmed that one of its premium NVMe SSDs, the Aorus Gen4 7000s, is compatible with the PlayStation 5. The company shared that its SSD meets all the specifications laid out by Sony in last week's beta firmware update. Gigabyte AORUS 7000s NVMe Gen4 SSD Starts at $195 (was $230) The Aorus comes in two variations, 1TB and 2TB. Both are compatible with the PS5, with Gigabyte confirming that the SSD's included heatsink (that wraps around the top and bottom of the drive) fits within the enclosure on the side of the console. The sequential read speed of the Aorus Gen4 7000s tops out at 7000 MB/s, which is well within the required 5,500 MB/s specified by Sony. This should give the PS5 more than enough headroom to make use of the drive to match the performance of its own internal SSD. See at Amazon Gigabyte, in its tweet, makes no mention of direct testing with the PS5 to confirm real-world performance, so you should take caution before plunging into a purchase. Sony has explicitly stated that the firmware that allows for internal SSD expansion is still in testing, and that even drives meeting its listed specifications may not work now or in the future. Sony has yet to release an official list of supported SSDs or given any indication on when the firmware will be released to the public.PS5, we’re ready! 🤗✔️ NVMe PCIe 4.0, checked!✔️ Read speed 5500+ mb/s, checked!✔️ Aluminum dual-sided thermal design, checked! 🛒 https://t.co/jJ0l8OxneP #AORUS #SSD #PS5 pic.twitter.com/yJSoo3fsNp — AORUS (@AorusOfficial) July 30, 2021We've rounded up several options for storage expansion on the PS5--check out our guide to the best SSDs currently meeting Sony’s specifications if you’re eager to pick one up now.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The multiverse presented in the upcoming Marvel animated anthology What If....? is officially canon, according to head writer AC Bradley. In an interview with IGN, Bradley put to rest any lingering doubts or anxiety that may have been looming over how real the hypothetical alternate plot lines explored might really be."The events of What If...? are canon," said Bradley. "It's part of the MCU multiverse. The multiverse is here. It is real, and it is absolutely fantastic, people." Of course, what this really means is largely unknown until we can see what stories the show, which debuts on Disney+ on August 11, has in store.Largely, Bradley's insight seems to so far be fueling speculation that any new animated characters introduced in these alternate timelines could also wind up finding on-screen, live-action life. But the overlaps on what would happen if major moments from the Marvel Cinematic Universe occurred differently and what's currently going down in the MCU are at the moment, well, confusing and still being negotiated. For example, IGN also recently reported that Bradley pitched a storyline for What If…? That was rejected because it was already half the plot of James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3. Somewhat relatedly, Dave Bautista was kept from reprising his Guardians of the Galaxy role in What If...? for, according to Bautista himself, unknown reasons.

Producer Hiram Garcia of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's Seven Bucks Production company has confirmed that the actor will not appear in the final two Fast & Furious movies.Speaking to Collider, Garcia said Johnson made the choice after Fast 8 to step away from the series "for all evident reasons."

Apex Legends Emergence just rolled out in early August, but there are still many surprises to come from Season 10 of the battle royale game. A lead writer at Respawn, Amanda Doiron, recently stated that Apex's in-game comics will be put on-hold for the time being while the studio focuses on varying up its storytelling techniques.Another lead writer, Manny Hagopian, tweeted a list of different ways that Respawn has presented the lore of Apex over the game's existence, including through unique dialogue, narrative Stories from the Outlands videos, and the Broken Ghost quest from Season 5. This would seem to indicate that the studio plans to incorporate experimental methods of storytelling that we haven't seen before in Apex Legends in Season 10.As we head into our Emergence season tomorrow, just a heads up that we are putting our in-game comics on hold—at least for a little while. We want to explore other ways of telling story in our BR without... — Amanda Doiron (@AmandaDoiron11) August 2, 2021- Stories from the Outlands started as an experiment.- Unique Dialogue in-game started as an experiment.- Broken Ghost?

If you're playing on Xbox, Apex's Season 10 update is pretty massive at 60 GB, so make sure you have enough space for it.Info from Gamespot.com
