The short-lived but warmly received sitcom Party Down, about caterers in Hollywood waiting for their big breaks, will be getting a revival according to Deadline. Party Down ran for two seasons spanning 20 episodes on Starz in 2009 and 2010, and the network is currently working on bringing the series back for an unspecified amount of episodes.It's also not yet clear who of the original cast will return, which in 2021 is an interesting aspect for Party Down to navigate since the series losing both Jane Lynch to Glee and Adam Scott to Parks was believed to be major contributors to the show coming to an end in 2010. In addition to Lynch and Scott, Party Down also starred Ken Marino (Wet Hot American Summer), Martin Starr (Silicon Valley), Ryan Hansen (Veronica Mars), Lizzy Caplan (Freaks and Geeks), and Megan Mullally (Childrens Hospital).What is clear is the original team of co-creators--Rob Thomas (Veronica Mars), John Enbom (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles), Paul Rudd (Ant-Man), and Dan Etheridge (iZombie)--are all back and are currently developing the revival.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Developer JanduSoft has released a new trailer for its psychological horror title Evil Inside--and it looks very similar to the infamously delisted PlayStation 4-exclusive P.T. The trailer sets Evil Inside's mood before the game drops on March 25 for PC, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.The trailer is brief, clocking in at a little under two minutes in length, and it's incredibly eerie. There's an unsettling melody playing in the background as the protagonist Mark walks through the corridors of a house that periodically oscillates from the horrific to the normal.Evil Inside puts players in the shoes of Mark, a teenage boy watching over his little brother, as he attempts to piece together by their dad murdered their mom Rose. To do this, Mark must collect fragments of the Spiritual board to connect Rose and get her side of the story. The story takes place inside one place, not unlike other walking simulators like P.T and Gone Home.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Valve has decided to cease development on its Dota 2-based card game Artifact and its revamp, Artifact 2.0, citing issues with growing the player base necessary to justify the development.In a Steam blog post, Valve wrote that while it's proud of the work it managed to accomplish on Artifact's reboot, the studio wasn't satisfied with the size of the game's current player base."It's now been about a year and a half since the current Artifact team began work on a reboot in earnest," Valve wrote. "While we're reasonably satisfied we accomplished most of our game-side goals, we haven't managed to get the active player numbers to a level that justifies further development at this time."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

This particular look at the movie focuses on Batman, as played by Ben Affleck.The clip runs nearly a minute and features lots of Batman-centric quotes from Snyder's DC movies--and a laughing Joker--playing over imagery of Batman standing on top of a massive vehicle that resembles a gigantic tank. In another shot, a black-suited Superman helps him to his feet, where he stands tall with the assembled Justice League. "I spent a lot of time trying to divide us," Batman says. "I need to bring us together and make this right."#Batman #SnyderCut #ZackSnydersJusticeLeague #UsUnited #AFSP pic.twitter.com/3CHSdvLym1 — Zack Snyder (@ZackSnyder) March 4, 2021The trailer, which you can watch above, came paired with a new character poster for Affleck's portrayal of the Dark Knight.

Publisher Square Enix has announced that the Outriders demo will be getting an update on March 5 at 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET. The update will implement a few balancing changes and quality-of-life improvements.The update is largely aimed at eliminating the grind for loot. The Outriders demo has a lootcave run where players can reload over and over to open the same three chests--which, when done enough times, allows you to eventually get some nice loot, including legendary items. The update eliminates this exploit by ensuring chests will no longer drop legendary items."While we do not want to prevent farming runs (We get it!), the lootcave discovered via the triple chest-run, as well as the store exploit, do not feel to be within the spirit of the game," the patch notes say. "To that end, we are redirecting farming efforts to mechanics in the game that may be more enjoyable for players to play through and repeat."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The MCU is filled with Easter eggs and references. Some are hints of things to come, some are just fun winks. Some, though, are tributes. One of these tributes slips in during the credits to WandaVision, and it goes by in a flash. WandaVision director Matt Shakman revealed the Easter egg in an interview with Screen Rant."I mean, there are certainly some that folks have noticed that are important," Shakman said. "A certain license plate, perhaps, in an opening title recently. We have to honor Stan Lee, of course."To see it for yourself, pop into WandaVision Episode 7--the one that starts out with the Office-style credits--and fast forward to just before 4:12. That's when the Easter egg appears. The license plate itself simply reads "WANDA" in all caps, but its the number above that that we're interested in: 122822.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Respawn has released a new Apex Legends devstream to further explain the changes being made in the upcoming Chaos Theory event. The devstream also reveals what looks to be an upcoming change to how ultimate abilities may work, an adjustment that wasn't touched on in the Chaos Theory patch notes.At 13:36, Bangalore's ultimate ability finishes charging and you see a prompt pop up for her to say, "My Ultimate is Ready!" So it looks like this next update will add in new voice lines that allow you to call out when your ultimate ability is fully charged and ready to go. This is an awesome addition; we love that Respawn keeps implementing new conversational quips that make it easier to "talk" to teammates without ever having to use a mic.As detailed in the patch notes, a big part of the Chaos Theory update is rebalancing the defender characters--Wattson and Rampart get buffs while Caustic and Gibraltar get nerfs. Wattson's change is the most interesting of the bunch, as she now passively heals her shield. In the devstream, Respawn explains this is being done to finally make Wattson a little more "selfish."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Razer's pricey ergonomic gaming chair, the Iskur, launched last October, offering a black-and-green design with the Razer logo on the front and back of the headrest. Now, fans looking for a plainer design have another option to consider: Razer announced today that the Iskur will now be sold in all-black in addition to the black-and-green design.Available for $500 on Razer's website, the Razer Iskur's all-black model is the exact same chair decked out in sleek black synthetic leather. The green accents along the side of the chair are now gone, and the Razer logos are a subtle black. The best part: The "For Gamers, By Gamers" slogan printed on the front side of the chair's seat is now black as well. Though this particular feature was never super noticeable due to its location on the chair, I'm still not the biggest fan of the text being there at all. It's nice that the aspects of this chair that scream "GAMER" are now minimized for those who want something a little more understated.The all-black Razer Iskur is the same chair with a more subtle design.I've been using the Iskur for a few months now and wrote about the experience in our recent Razer Iskur review. Quite frankly, it's one of the most comfortable chairs I've ever sat in. The Iskur is notable for its dynamic lumbar support system, which features a built-in curve that can be extended up to 26 degrees to match the entire curvature of your lower-middle back. Because it's fully attached to the chair, the Iskur's lumbar curve is sturdy and secure, so it won't shift around like a separate lumbar pillow would. The ability to find the proper angle to support your entire back is a benefit that can't be overstated. If you're someone who sits all day for work or during long gaming sessions, having proper ergonomic support is crucial, and the Iskur is simply the best gaming chair on the market that we've tested that's designed for this purpose.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Turns out if you're still playing 2000's Diablo II or still have access to your save in that game, you'll be able to transfer your progress into the upcoming Diablo II: Resurrected remaster. It all seamlessly transfers over."Yes, keep your old save files," Diablo II: Resurrected producer Matthew Cederquist told IGN. "Back when we were working on [the remaster], we wondered if the old save files would work, so we kind of shoved it in, and it worked! So yes, your local single-player save files will carry over."As revealed at BlizzConline 2021, Diablo II: Resurrected will feature a toggle that allows you to switch back and forth between the remaster's updated graphics and the original game's visuals. So you could port your original Diablo II save into the remaster and then switch to the original game's visuals and it would be like you never switched games. Why? Because you can.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The restart will begin immediately--but is expected to take several months before reaching full-speed as Universal re-staffs for the project and reassembles its vendor and contractor teams."Included in Epic Universe, beyond the theme park itself, is a hotel, shops, an entertainment center, and restaurants.
