It is widely known that the 2003 movie Kangaroo Jack began its life as an R-rated mobster movie called Down Under, but could the original edition that was film get a re-release in the wake of the Snyder Cut? Star Jerry O'Connell said in no uncertain terms that an R-rated cut of the movie exists that features a lot more adult content, including his own full frontal nudity. Don't get your hopes up for it to be released, however."There is an R-rated cut of Kangaroo Jack out there. There is full frontal involved," he told Kinda Funny. "We need the O'Connell cut." Unfortunately, however, O'Connell remarked that "it's never gonna happen."O'Connell mentioned in the interview that the first version of the movie featured a lot of cursing and nudity to capture its R rating. The executives decided to change the movie to a PG rating after testing it.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Bungie has provided a preview of some balance changes coming to Destiny 2 as part of the as-of-yet untitled Season 14. While numerous areas of the game will be tweaked, the latest weekly blog post keys in on changes to weapons, which will see certain swords and hand cannons nerfed, the effectiveness of certain perks reduced, and more.Weapons feature lead Chris Proctor detailed a selection of changes, which will be further explained in future patch notes. Among the most wide-ranging changes are a nerf to Aggressive (120rpm) hand cannons. Proctor describes them as "very dominant" in PvP modes, so Bungie wants to "rein them in a bit." It's doing this by reducing the damage and aim assist falloff distance by 2-4 meters, depending on the given weapon's Range stat. Proctor says this should tone down the Beyond Light buff to Aggressive hand cannons by about half.Vortex Frame swords like Falling Guillotine will see their effectiveness reduced, but not by decreasing their damage. Bungie is increasing the amount of ammo a full-energy Heavy attack requires from 4 to 6, so you'll need to be a bit more selective with how you attack. All swords and the Exotic weapon Bastion will also see the removal of chip damage, which is what allows you to bypass shields to deal direct damage. Proctor says chip damage causes a variety of issues, including problems with enemies in Stasis and the mechanics involved with certain encounters. (It's not all bad news for Bastion, as it will intrinsically stagger Unstoppable Champions following the update.)Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

After teasing new content for the Path of Exile franchise, developer Grinding Gear Games has revealed new gameplay for Path of Exile 2, the sequel to its popular and growing free-to-play RPG. During a special developer livestream focusing on what's to come with Path of Exile, the developers gave fans the most thorough look at the game yet, which hasn't been seen since its reveal back at ExileCon 2019.The new trailer and subsequent gameplay demo focused on the Act 2 section of Path of Exile 2, which is set in a vast desert filled with demons and other supernatural entities. Set sometime after the end of Path of Exile 1, the sequel's seven-act campaign will carry forth many of the intricate character building, gear customization, and open-ended exploration across its various maps.Just before the livestream reveal, we got to see a preview of the game with commentary from Grinding Gear Games studio head Chris Wilson, who explained what's new with the game. Much like the current Path of Exile, and other Diablo-likes, the sequel focuses heavily on the loop of finding loot and procuring new gear for your characters. However, the sequel puts a more significant emphasis on building upon the original game's content, which includes a shared endgame across both games and a more present story throughout its levels in the seven acts. The new campaign will see your character team up with key figures in the overarching story, acquiring new loot from quests, and explore the more dense environments.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

In the upcoming update, coming to PC on April 16 (with console launch the week after), a new league event will let you jump into a challenging activity that focuses on wave-based encounters for rare loot.The Ultimatum expansion centers on the new NPC named the Trialmaster, who comes from the Vaal civilization.

After specific intervals, you're given a unique reward and the offer to continue fighting.

Trials can last up to 10 different milestones, with each becoming more difficult than the last.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Within one week of pulling the plug on Super Mario Bros. 35, Nintendo announced another battle royale-style game: Pac-Man 99, a 99-player take on Bandai Namco's arcade classic. As it did with Super Mario Bros. and Tetris before it, developer Arika has taken a well-known retro game and added a competitive twist to it--and even from just a few rounds with the title, it's immediately clear that Pac-Man is better suited to the battle royale format than Super Mario Bros. was.The reason comes down to the game's immediacy. Given its roots in the arcade (where a developer's primary concern was to wring as many quarters as possible out of a patron's pockets), Pac-Man is about reflex. Super Mario Bros. also requires dexterity, of course, but it was designed for a home console. As such, it's a grander, more methodical sort of game, featuring larger stages that are rife with secrets to discover if you take the time to poke around. This makes for a more satisfying single-player experience, but it doesn't lend itself quite as well to battle royale-style competition.This was especially evident in Super Mario Bros. 35's late game. While the playing field would shrink fairly quickly as less experienced players were winnowed out, the final stretch of a round could be a slog, especially if everyone played cautiously and stockpiled their coins for the power-up roulette. Because of this, victory was often decided by the clock, which meant that one round of Super Mario Bros. 35 could last upwards of 20 minutes--not exactly the kind of game you could casually dip into.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The Helmut Zemo we met in Captain America: Civil War was a grounded, complex villain, a big change from the guy wearing a purple balaclava in Marvel's comic books. He seemed like a one-shot villain, and even actor Daniel Bruhl thought as much--until Marvel invited him back for Falcon and the Winter Soldier. In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Bruhl talks about returning to the character and what to take away from his storyline.Zemo feels different in Falcon and the Winter Soldier; he took his revenge, got caught, and has been in prison since. He has a common mission with Bucky and Sam, though, and it gives us a different look at the character. He makes jokes. He dances. Can we trust him?"No, never," Bruhl said. "And that's the good thing. If it's hard to read and tell what somebody is up to, that ambiguity--which people always enjoy and I do enjoy--is always fun."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Big corporations can often struggle to stay in sync with what fans love about their shows, but once in a while, they get it right. When we spotted Daniel Brühl's character Baron Zemo dancing on the latest episode of Falcon and the Winter Soldier, we couldn't think of anything else afterward, and the rest of the internet was right there with us. Now, Disney has released an hour-long loop of of Zemo's sick moves over a hard-driving beat.If you're not caught up and sensitive to spoilers, stop here. Last week's episode sent Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes to the fictional southeast Asian island of Madripoor with Helmut Zemo in tow. The trio went undercover in Madripoor's Lowtown in search of the re-created and optimized Super Soldier Serum that turned Karli Morgenthau and the other Flag Smashers into Captain America-grade punchers. The boys attempt to blend in, giving us a far-too-short shot of Zemo getting his groove on.Thankfully, Brühl let slip in an interview with EW that the moment lasted a bit longer on set. "It was a long dance," he said. "There's more to it, but they cut this little moment [for the show]."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
