Sony held its PlayStation Showcase on September 9, and it was one of the biggest gaming events the company has put on in quite a long time. Essentially taking the place of E3, this show gave us a look at upcoming games from a bunch of major series, as well as all-new experiences. If you thought Insomniac Games was resting for even a moment, you would be very wrong, and PC players weren't left out of the fun, either.These were the biggest games shown during PlayStation Showcase 2021.Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic RemakeThe first game shown during the event was Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake, developed in partnership with Aspyr and Lucasfilm Games. Created specifically for PS5, the game trailer did not mention BioWare, making it unclear if the original studio will be involved with the project, which was initially only on the original Xbox.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

One of the biggest announcements at the PlayStation Showcase event is a remaster of Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy for PS5 and PC. Called the Legacy of Thieves Collection, it bundles together the two games with a fresh coat of paint.This marks the first time that the Uncharted series will make its way to PC, and the game joins a growing list of PlayStation first-party titles available for PC players. Details are scant right now about the extent of the remaster, but the reveal trailer certainly looks good. Chances are that it'll include some of the graphical bells and whistles that the PS5 and PC are capable of rendering, such as ray tracing and faster load times.While Uncharted 4 focuses on series protagonist Nathan Drake, The Lost Legacy is a smaller-scale spinoff game built on the same tech but featuring Chloe Frazer and Nadine Ross as main characters. The original PS4 version is sold as a standalone title (currently on sale for $10 on the PlayStation Store).Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

After being announced last year with a short teaser that gave us basically no information about the game--or even its official, final title--God of War: Ragnarok was featured during Thursday's PlayStation Showcase event with a new trailer. The new look at the game showed Kratos and Atreus venturing through the frozen lands of Fimbulwinter, the deadly winter ahead of the end of the world. It sounds like their goal is to locate the Norse god of war, Tyr.The trailer also showed a whole bunch of returning characters from 2018's God of War, as well as some new threats--including Thor, the god of Thunder, who looks like he'll stand as an antagonist to Kratos and Atreus. There's also the interpersonal relationship between Kratos and Atreus, who's hoping to find out more about his identity as Loki following the events of God of War.After the showcase, Sony Santa Monica also revealed that God of War 2018's director, Cory Barlog, isn't the director of God of War: Ragnarok. Instead, Eric Williams, who formerly worked as God of War's combat and systems designer and who has worked on every game in the series, is taking on the director role. Barlog, who appeared on Sony's after-showcase stream, said that he thought it was good for God of War to get a "fresh perspective" for each game, but didn't reveal what else he might be working on.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Developer Insomniac Games announced Marvel's Spider-Man 2 during PlayStation's September 2021 Showcase. The game is scheduled to release for PS5.During the showcase, we also got a new trailer for Spider-Man 2. In it, we see both Peter Parker and Miles Morales working together as the two Spider-Men of New York while a narrator (who sounds an awful lot like Kraven the Hunter) asks if anyone will give him the challenge he desires. And then Venom appears, answering that they will provide that challenge.As suspected by fans, Spider-Man 2 takes place after the events of both Marvel's Spider-Man and Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales. How much later remains to be seen, but we'll likely learn more as we get closer to its scheduled launch date of 2023.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

When Halloween Kills debuts next month, it won't just be in theaters. Universal has announced that the horror film will arrive on the Peacock streaming service the same day it is released theatrically (via The Hollywood Reporter).Halloween Kills hits theaters on October 15, but if you subscribe to Peacock, you'll be able to watch it at home. Peacock does not rent movies like Amazon Prime or have anything like the Premier Access tier offered by Disney+. In other words, as long as you subscribe to Peacock, you'll be able to watch Halloween Kills immediately--more like Warner Bros.' HBO Max model, minus the slate-wide release plan. Halloween, the first movie in this new David Gordon Green-directed trilogy, is not yet on the service. NBC Universal has not yet announced whether or not that film will be showing up.Halloween Kills was originally scheduled to hit theaters on October 16, 2020, but was ultimately delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic to its new release date. Halloween Kills stars Jamie Lee Curtis, once again in the role of series protagonist Laurie Strode, alongside Judy Greer, Andi Matichak, Will Patton, and Anthony Michael Hall. Nick Castle returns as the masked murderer, credited as "The Shape."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The number seven is dear to Bungie, which makes this Destiny birthday extra special. Destiny was released September 9, 2014, and the past seven years haven't exactly been smooth sailing for Bungie, but Destiny and Destiny 2 have captured the hearts of millions of gamers internationally.To commemorate its journey, Bungie shared a Destiny 7th Anniversary post to reminisce about the early days of development. Destiny's Sony Press Conference at E3 2013 put the team in a tough spot. The post revealed that the gameplay footage shown at the E3 was actually pre-recorded and synced with live performances from Joe Staten, Bungie veteran and former writer on Destiny, and Jason Jones, Bungie's co-founder.The presentation was meant to show live gameplay, but Jason's monitor had stopped working and no one knew what caused the disruption at the time. The funny thing is, Bungie quickly switched the live gameplay to a pre-recorded video, and the presenters had to play along. "No one in the crowd seemed to notice everything going on in the background to keep the show moving, and some even saw the long pause while the switch to backup happened as nothing more than a long loading screen for an early build of the game," the post reads.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

If your Toyota Corolla or Ford Explorer are boring you, get your wallets out. A veritable fleet of much cooler cars will soon be up for auction by Lloyds: the iconic vehicles of 2015's Mad Max: Fury Road.On September 26, Lloyds Auctions will make 13 cars from the cult-classic film available for bidding. This includes the War Rig that Max, Furiosa, and the Wives were escaping in, the Doof Wagon that kept the guitar-playing mutant suspended in front of a wall of speakers, and Nux's sand-battered rustbucket. Most importantly, perhaps, Max's 1973 XB Falcon Coupe, better known in the movies as the Interceptor, is in the lot as well. Check out an excerpt from the lot's description:"Recently salvaged along with the full-life Max, the XB Interceptor has been resurrected in the crucible of the Citadel, jacked up on off-road rails and supersized wheels, double-aspirated V8 blower now topped by skull sucking air into Scott Hat as Slit sits atop the shiny-chrome assassin, jockeying hundreds of horsepower and a handful of hate down mankind’s final straight to a finishing line ever closer and ever more...final."All 13 of the vehicles are currently set at $1, but they won't stay that way for long once the auctions start. Even if your wallet can't take the hit of buying an authentic movie car, the auction is worth checking out just for the descriptions on each car. Or, you can scream "Witness Me!" as you spray edible chrome on your face as you fall deep into debt.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

After the first two weeks off in the Season of the Lost, the Trials of Osiris kicks off again this weekend in Destiny 2. This isn't the Trials you're used to, however--developer Bungie has made significant changes to the toughest competitive challenge in its game, making it more approachable for a wider swathe of players and eliminating some of the most irritating things about the high-level battle.Bungie reminded players of the new Trials changes with its This Week at Bungie blog post, although it had previously detailed the adjustments at the start of the season. Essentially, the changes take away some of the things that would often turn players away from the Trials. The mode now tracks your progress differently, allowing you to earn the special, high-quality weapons and armor that are only available during the weekend mode a lot more easily. Its highest rewards, which require you to go "flawless" on a Trials run, remain, but roadblocks that made Trials seem insurmountable to some players in the past are now gone.If you're unfamiliar, the Trials of Osiris is a competitive mode that takes Power levels into account and that's only available in Destiny 2 on weekends, running from the daily reset at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET on Friday to the weekly reset at the same time on the following Tuesday. You join a fireteam of three as you fight against other teams in Elimination rounds, with the goal of winning seven such matches in a row--what's known as "going flawless." Win all seven matches with no losses, and you would get access to a special social space called the Lighthouse, where you'd receive high-caliber weapons that weren't available anywhere else in the game.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

For six years, the Life Is Strange series has consistently told stories about the ties that bind us, between friends, families, and communities. The latest entry, True Colors, represents the first time subtext becomes not just text, but the game's core mechanic. The strength of Life Is Strange as a series is how it always seeks to answers the deeper questions about why people are the way they are, but even compared to the original Life is Strange protagonist Max Caulfield seeking to untangle her best friend's life, or Sean and Daniel Diaz of Life is Strange 2 being at the mercy of an increasingly merciless America, True Colors drills deeper. It features a new hero who can delve into peoples' lives on a level beyond the capabilities of the series' other protagonists. That ability lets the game traverse some new, fascinating territory for this series, but it’s still a bit too bashful about staying there for too long..You play as Alex Chen, a child of the foster care system who was separated from her big brother Gabe when she was 10. She bounced from family to facility and back again for over a decade before, finally, Gabe tracked her down and invited her to his new home of Haven Springs, an idyllic little village in Colorado. While it's seemingly a peaceful-enough place to start a life, Alex is helpless when it comes to her big secret and the game's supernatural hook: Alex is a superpowered empath who is not only able to see and read peoples' emotions as giant bursts of psychedelic colors, but if the emotion is strong enough, she will actually inherit it. Unfortunately, the foster care system not exactly being the happiest place on earth means Alex finds herself consumed by crippling depressive episodes and extreme fits of rage beyond her control.And so, as Alex begins her new life, Haven Springs starts to rub off on her, in more ways than one. When a major tragedy strikes the town, keeping the peace becomes an imperative, and it’s about protecting herself just as much as it is about protecting the town. For the most part, True Colors operates the same way as every other Life Is Strange title: As Alex, you walk around and interact with everything and everyone the game will allow you to, occasionally making crucial, life-changing choices through dialogue that affect the world and the course of the story. On the technical level, there are a few marked improvements over past games in the series, especially in terms of visuals. This is the most gorgeous and lush Life is Strange game, with a huge, impressive improvement to the character performances, though it comes at a price. The PS5 port we tested took some heavy hits in frame rate when wandering around the town and stuttered elsewhere. The PC port handled much better, but even there, keeping up with the workload isn't easy on the computer.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Steve Burns, perhaps still better known simply as Steve from Blue's Clues from your millennial childhood, has released a video to let his now-adult fans know that he never, ever forgot them since leaving the show in 2002. The emotional video is part of the Nickelodeon show's 25th anniversary--and it is likely to provide a powerful dose of nostalgia and closure for kids who maybe didn't even realize they never quite got over Steve's sudden departure from that show."You remember how when we were younger, we used to run around and hang out with Blue and find clues and talk to Mr. Salt and freak out about the mail and do all the fun stuff?" said Burns, wearing his familiar and iconic green-striped shirt for the clip. "And then one day, I was like, 'Oh hey, guess what? Big news, I'm leaving. Here's my brother Joe, he's your new best friend,' and then I got on a bus and I left and we didn't see each other for like a really long time? Can we just talk about that? Because I realize that was kind of abrupt." Check out the video below to see the full heartfelt message.So about that time Steve went off to college… #BluesClues25 pic.twitter.com/O8NOM2eRjy — Nick Jr. (@nickjr) September 7, 2021While earlier this year it finally came out that a major motivator for Burns to leave the show was due to an interest in pursuing a music career (with Flaming Lips producer David Fridmann and drummer Steve Drozd​​), his heartfelt message here is solely focused on expressing gratitude for his viewers--and thanking them for still being his friend. The show never really dwelled much on the gravity of his exit.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
