The Legendary and Set item changes will begin on October 1, and then Seasonal Theme content will be added starting October 8.During the testing period, players on the PTR will get two unique buffs: increased Legendary drop rate and double Blood Shard drops. To help Blizzard get the most out of the testing period, it requests that players put most of their time and attention into the Wizard's etched sigils and hydras, the Crusader's steel charge build, and the Witch Doctor's crazy chicken build. Blizzard is inviting feedback on the PTR Feedback forum and the PTR Bug Report forum.As always, Blizzard also recommends generally focusing on a single build, rather than trying to sample them all. The PTR is only available on PC, but this may indicate changes coming to the full game eventually as well.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons' fall update finally arrives on September 30, but there's more new content on the way to the game this season. Nintendo has confirmed that another Animal Crossing update is coming in late November, and it looks like it'll add two more big seasonal events.While Nintendo didn't share any further details about the November update, the announcement was accompanied by images of Franklin the turkey and Jingle the reindeer.

The PlayStation 5 is less than two months away, and while Microsoft has been straightforward about which accessories and gaming headsets will be compatible with its next-gen console, Sony's situation has been a little less clear. The company announced in August that "third-party headsets that connect via USB port or audio jack" will work with the PS5, though only a few companies have actually confirmed their headsets work with the upcoming next-gen console. We can't be sure a gaming headset is PS5-compatible until it's confirmed or tested, so the number of reliable PS5 headset options out there right now are slim.To further complicate the situation, Sony's official Pulse 3D headset for PS5 was the first accessory to sell out at all major retailers. Though it'll most likely be restocked, you may want to consider other PS5 headset options as well this holiday season. To make your search a little easier, we've compiled a list of the best headsets we've tested so far that are confirmed to work with the PS5.Leading up to the PS5's release and beyond, we'll update this guide with more PS5 gaming headset options as we confirm compatibility and test more products. In the meantime, check out our guide to the best PS4 controllers, which covers all of the controllers you can use with the PS5 when playing backward-compatible PS4 games. If you're shopping for a new TV, we've rounded up the best 4K TVs for PS5 as well.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Filmmaking duo and brothers Anthony and Joe Russo's next project will be working on the harrowing drama Cherry for Apple TV+, according to The Hollywood Reporter.The film, which will be the first directed by the Russos since Avengers: Endgame became the highest global grossing film of all time, features a shift in tone and focus away from superheroes.

Along the way, after returning home from service, he is prescribed Oxycontin for an undiagnosed case of PTSD, and then progresses from pills to heroin abuse, before resorting to crime to pay for the habit.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Video game streaming services aren't as rare as they used to be, but there are still only a handful of companies with the resources and infrastructure to support such an initiative. The latest is Amazon, the online retail giant that has made tech inroads with its Amazon Web Services (AWS).The company introduced Luna, a cloud gaming platform that will run on a variety of devices. While Luna invites aren't coming until October, the rollout was suitably impressive and promises some distinctive features like dedicated publisher channels. Early access signups are available now, but Amazon has already shown an impressive lineup of games included with its Luna Plus game channel. It also works with any Bluetooth controller, but Amazon has made its own Luna controller that connects directly to the cloud service, similar to Google Stadia.GameSpot spoke with product lead Oliver Messenger about the service, its approach with channels, and how long the early access period may last.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

And like most streaming services, Amazon Prime Video will have a few selections of horror movies for you to watch from the comfort of your own couch.On October 1, the bulk of Amazon's October content drops, and you should already be familiar with most of it. On the horror side of things, you can watch 30 Days of Night, a film about an Alaskan town that gets invaded by vampires during the time of the year where the town doesn't see the sun for 30 straight days. Speaking of vampires, John Carpenter's Vampires also arrives that day as well.As you've probably heard, Amazon and Blumhouse are working together on a bunch of movies, and the first four arrive in October.

Microsoft is bringing its Xbox Remote Play functionality to iOS devices. Though the functionality was recently opened up for Android users, it's reportedly in testing on Apple devices as well, and the company expects it to come to the App Store soon.The Verge reports that a hands-on with the app showed it was already working well in beta. Like the Android Xbox app or Sony's Remote Play app, it connects with your console and runs anything you have loaded onto your console--just using your iPhone or iPad as the screen. The function will also work with the upcoming Xbox Series X or Series S.This is distinct from the Xbox streaming xCloud platform, which requires no console at all because it streams games directly to your mobile device from a data center. That functionality is on Android devices already, but not iOS ones due to Apple's restrictive policies. A recent rule change made it theoretically possible for xCloud and Google's similar streaming service Stadia on Apple devices, but it's not clear how it would work and Microsoft called it a "bad experience for customers." Xbox streaming is available with a subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, and its library is very similar to the Game Pass library.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The rumored Mass Effect Trilogy remastered bundle, supposedly known as the Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, will launch in early 2021 instead of this October.This is according to a GamesBeat report that claims "people familiar with the development" said developer BioWare and publisher Electronic Arts are holding off releasing the bundle because of the original game. Mass Effect, according to GamesBeat's sources, currently doesn't "live up to the quality of the rest of the package." They go on to say that based on the graphical and gameplay differences between Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2, releasing the bundle without paying ample attention to the original game's mechanics and visuals would "make a poor first impression for new players."Neither BioWare nor EA have publicly commented on the matter.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
