Avengers Campus, the Marvel-themed land at Disneyland Resort's Disney California Adventure, was originally scheduled to open in July 2020. But due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Disney's two theme parks in California have been closed since early last year. However, construction on Avengers Campus has continued and Disney CEO Bob Chapek says the project is still scheduled to open "later this year."Chapek made the comment during a call for investors, while noting that other new projects in Disney's theme park portfolio are still being worked on--he specifically mentioned Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway at Disneyland, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Remy's Ratatouille Adventure at Florida's Epcot, and the Star Wars-themed hotel, which is also located in Florida. Missing from Chapek's statement was a mention of Tron Lightcycle Power Run, the roller coaster under construction at Walt Disney World.As for when California's parks will open again--or when the company's theme parks around the world will be able to increase their park capacities--Chapek noted it's dependent on COVID-19 vaccine distribution.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

While a good gaming keyboard and mouse will almost always trump a controller in competitive environments, it's hard to deny the analog upsides of a gamepad. Feathering the pedal to make it safely around a corner without losing speed, creeping up behind an enemy to deliver a devastating backstab, and slowly inching across a thin platform to make it safely to the other side--these are just a few of the actions that require the meticulous control of an analog gamepad. With the Razer Huntsman V2 Analog keyboard, Razer has tried to bridge the gap by evolving its classic Huntsman gaming keyboard into an analog device capable of providing that pinpoint input.The Huntsman V2 Analog keyboard is capable of providing that accurate 360-degree analog movement, and while there are some significant hurdles that come with that, Razer has also used its new key switches to add some transformative features that take unique advantage of its analog capabilities. Dual-step actuation gives users the ability to assign two actions to a single key. The analog movement is impressive on its own, but being able to perform actions like equipping a grenade and throwing it with a single key is a game-changer and one of the most exciting features I've seen added to a gaming keyboard in some time.Setup and performanceThe Razer Huntsman V2 Analog gaming keyboard features analog optical key switches, which means they're able to detect how far a specific key is being pressed. This allows for more direct control over how fast a character moves, among other things. You don't have to repeatedly tap the WASD keys when you need to slow down a vehicle or move slowly in a game to remain undetected. This works by binding specific keys to different aspects of a controller, such as the sticks and triggers, as the V2 Analog utilizes the XInput API that lets Windows read your inputs as an Xbox controller.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

With the release of the Season of the Chosen, Bungie put out a big update to Destiny 2 that made several major adjustments and fixed a bunch of bugs. Not all those changes made it into the patch notes for Update 3.1.0, though--including one that removed an annoying bit of dialogue that's been plaguing the game since it was first released.That piece of dialogue comes from Suraya Hawthorne, the Clan vendor in the Tower, and plays every time you complete Hawthorne's weekly clan challenge. In its This Week at Bungie blog, the developer noted that the dialogue has now been removed. Presumably, all Guardians are currently rejoicing.The Hawthorne dialogue has been exactly the same since the release of Destiny 2, and even though three years of story advancements have come and gone since then, Hawthorne would still spend quite a while talking about players' accomplishments from the conclusion of Destiny 2's vanilla story campaign, the Red War. But the issue wasn't just that Hawthorne's dialogue hasn't been updated in three years--it's that you would hear it a lot.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

We've seen about all we will of the Cosmodrome in Destiny 2, according to Bungie. Though the Destiny 1 location is now a bigger part of the game, thanks to additions with the Beyond Light expansion and the Season of the Chosen, the developer isn't going to add back all the parts that appeared in the original game.Bungie clarified the situation with the Cosmodrome in its latest This Week at Bungie post, in which it said that the two Cosmodrome Strikes it added with the Season of the Chosen, Fallen S.A.B.R.E. and The Devils' Lair, are the last Cosmodrome additions it plans to make.That's at odds with what Bungie previously said about the Cosmodrome when it announced plans to bring the location back for Destiny 2. Back during the summer when Bungie made the announcement, the developer said the Cosmodrome would eventually be made roughly the same as it was in the first year of Destiny 1. Players have been wondering when the rest of the Cosmodrome would get added into the game and Bungie hasn't had much of an answer for them.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Actor Kate Winslet stars in the upcoming HBO limited crime drama Mare of Eastdown, premiering on April 18. And one of Winslet's biggest challenges was nailing the Delco accent, which represents Delaware County, in Pennsylvania.The accent is very specific and tough to nail, and it drove Winslet crazy, as she explained during a TCA winter press tour conference for the upcoming HBO series. While figuring out how exactly to pronounce something that should be as simple as "water," Winslet was worried about completely sounding authentic. "The thing that was hardest for me, of course, was to do it well enough that you kind of shouldn't hear the actor doing it."I always hate that when you can hear someone doing a voice or doing an accent, and that's one of the things for me that is more important than anything is just making it just disappear and blend in. So I did spend a long time working with a coach and working with people locally as well."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Following the CD Projekt Red hack earlier this week, those responsible have taken the source code to the developer's games--like Cyberpunk 2077, Gwent, and The Witcher 3--to an online auction site, allegedly starting a bid for $1 million and selling the entire kit for $7 million.According to the well-known data security firm vx-underground, the hackers posted the source code to the Exploits forum, an internet forum populated by other hackers. Vx-underground said the hackers started a bid at $1 million for the code to Cyberpunk 2077, the free-to-play card-based game Gwent, and an unreleased version of The Witcher 3. The hackers are supposedly selling the code immediately to anyone willing to shell out $7 million.Update: a mistake was made. They stated starting bid $1kk. This was assumed as a typo for $1,000. They meant $1,000,000. They are also selling immediately for $7,000,000.Attached images supplied by @DrFurfagMD pic.twitter.com/JnOcwnGqZk — vx-underground (@vxunderground) February 10, 2021Many of the files have found their way to other spaces on the internet, like 4Chan and Mega, but have since been taken down by moderators to ensure they don't end up in more hands.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
