| WizKids Reveals DnD Collectibles Of Efreeti And Wand Of Orcus Posted: 14 Jul 2021 09:00 AM PDT WizKids has been taking recognizable items and characters from the world of Dungeons & Dragons and bringing them to life in collectible form. Earlier this year, WizKids debuted the Hand and Eye of Vecna--familiar magical items from D&D. Now, WizKids is making collectibles of Efreeti and the Wand of Orcus. First is an infamous character familiar to Advanced D&D players, a statue of Efreeti. Modeled after its appearance on the Dungeon's Master guide, the statue stands at 12 inches tall and features a pose ripped from the cover and brought into your home. Check out some image renderings below, and obviously, this may not be what the final product looks like when it arrives this November for $250.  Gallery "It's a really good 'Goldilocks' size for a statue like this--large enough to be well-detailed and have presence on a display shelf, but not so big that it's hard to find a home for," explained WizKids creative producer Mat Smith. "Matching the style of the artwork and how the anatomy was depicted did offer some interesting challenges." Continue Reading at GameSpot |
| YouTuber Claims To Have A Permanent Fix For Joy-Con Drift Posted: 14 Jul 2021 08:57 AM PDT A YouTuber named Victorstk says that he's fixed his Joy-Con drift permanently, and now you can too. In a lengthy video, Victorstk (also known as VK) discusses many of the suspected causes for the joystick drift that has impacted the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers on a massive scale, noting that his alleged fix is the only one that seems to work permanently. While VK's video is well put-together, as usual with these sort of claims, it's best to regard them with a grain of salt, or perhaps a spoonful. Still, VK's fix--which is placing a 1 mm piece of paper or card stock on top of one area of the Joy-Con after taking it apart--is substantially less invasive than sending the Joy-Con to Nintendo, or attempting to replace the stick yourself. VK's analysis concludes that the Joy-Con drift is caused by the metal casing that holds the stick slowly loosening over time due to use, which makes the metal prongs lose contact with the graphite pads that detect the input.

| Cracked Version Of Resident Evil Village Offers Drastically Better Performance On PC, Report Finds Posted: 14 Jul 2021 08:49 AM PDT
Following indications that the cracked version of Resident Evil Village on PC was offering players a better experience than paying customers, a report into the issue has proved that the removal of DRM from the game drastically improves overall performance. Digital Foundry conducted tests on both the retail and cracked versions of Capcom's latest sequel, coming away with the conclusion that the game's anti-piracy features are currently behind the poor performance of the game on PC. Since launch, Resident Evil Village has exhibited issues with frametimes, causing large stutters during normal gameplay sequences such as shooting. The issues are worse in certain scenarios, such as the early encounter with Lady Dimitrescu's daughters, which can plummet the frame rate from the high 100s all the way down to the low 30s.

| The Possibility Of Final Fantasy X-3 Being Made Isn't "Zero" Posted: 14 Jul 2021 08:26 AM PDT Square Enix has suggested that it could one day return to the world of Final Fantasy X with a Final Fantasy X-3 sequel. In a new interview with Famitsu as reported by Japanese blog Ryukutya via RPGSite, several key members of Final Fantasy X commented on how the project even has a plot written by Kazushige Nojima, who served as one of the scenario writers on the 2001 game. "If we are to make X-3, we somehow have a synopsis written by Nojima-san," character designer Tetsuya Nomura explained. "It's sleeping right now, but the plot itself does exist." As RPGSite also noted, a recent audio play could be used as another potential storyline springboard. Taking place a year after the events of Final Fantasy X-2 and focused on two new characters called Chuami and Kurgum, Final Fantasy X Will reunited several of the original game's voice actors and dealt with the return of Final Fantasy X's main antagonist, Sin.

| Battlefield 2042 May Add Cross-Play, Tech Test Delayed, Map Changes For Last-Gen Detailed Posted: 14 Jul 2021 08:20 AM PDT Battlefield 2042 developer DICE has published an in-depth FAQ on its website, and included in the blog post are details around the studio's plans for cross-play and cross-progression, along with more information on the differences in content between console generations. DICE has confirmed that it is examining the possibility of adding cross-play for Battlefield 2042, though it's not confirmed as feature for the game yet. "We can confirm it's a function we're looking to build and test," the studio said. As a result of this, DICE has delayed the upcoming Battlefield 2042 technical test to later in the summer so it can test cross-play. This technical test will include "a few thousand" people, and DICE will notify people by email if they've been a selected. A more expansive open beta is coming later. Continue Reading at GameSpot |
| Don Cheadle "Doesn't Get" Why He Was Nominated For Falcon And Winter Soldier Cameo Posted: 14 Jul 2021 08:17 AM PDT Actor Don Cheadle, who over the course of his career has now earned 11 Emmy nominations, took to Twitter to admit he's pretty confused over his most recent nomination. It was recently announced Cheadle's in the running for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series--which means he landed a spot in the category on the strength of a three-minute cameo in the pilot of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. In response, Cheadle tweeted: "I don't really get it either." This isn't the actor's way of being humble or falsely modest--Cheadle only speaks in one of the two quick scenes where he reprises his Marvel Cinematic Universe character James Rhodes. In the other scene, he's merely listening to Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson give a speech about donating Captain America's shield to a museum. Cheadle's was the only acting nomination for the show.
The 73rd annual Emmy awards are set to air live on September 19 at 8 PM ET on CBS and Paramount Plus. Marvel has a strong showing at this year's Emmys, with WandaVision being a particular standout, earning nominations for Best Limited Series, Best Actress in a Limited Series (Elizabeth Olsen), Best Actor in a Limited Series (Paul Bettany), and Best Supporting Actress in a Limited Series (Kathryn Hahn).

| Fall Guys Season 5's Theme Is Jungle Adventure, Releasing July 20 Posted: 14 Jul 2021 08:05 AM PDT The whimsical battle royale game Fall Guys continues to expand. Season 5 is coming up next, and developer Mediatonic has now revealed its theme and release date: July 20. The studio teased the theme with an elaborate puzzle, which the community quickly solved in about an hour to reveal that "jungle adventure" is the theme for Fall Guys Season 5. The teaser art can be seen below, showing off what look like new costumes and a jungle-themed setting. You might have spied a cute little critter in the left-hand corner, and its name is Sherbert. Sherbert is now canon, following some fun on Reddit.
This was just the first reveal for Fall Guys Season 5, so there is no word yet on the specifics of what's coming in the next season or when it'll be released. But you can likely expect new cosmetics, more games, and other updates. Continue Reading at GameSpot |
| Spider-Man: No Way Home Hot Toys Figure Shows Best Look Yet At Spidey's New Costume Posted: 14 Jul 2021 07:41 AM PDT Hot Toys usually unveils new figures based on popular films after they've launched, but this week the Hong Kong-based manufacturer is unveiling its new slate of collectibles a few months early. In addition to a concept art version of Doctor Strange decked out in Iron Man armor and Boba Fett on a throne fit for a Hutt, the company revealed its Spider-Man: No Way Home figure that features Peter Parker in a new black and gold costume. There's a hint of red to remind you that this is a Spider-Man underneath all that gold, but it's an otherwise massive departure from the costumes that actor Tom Holland has worn since he took up the mantle of the web-slinger in 2016. As a Hot Toys figure, this particular collectible has an astonishing amount of detail that shows off a mixture of science and sorcery, with Spider-Man's costume looking magically enhanced and capable of firing off mystic web-blasts that look very much like one of Doctor Strange's signature spells. On the suit are layers of circuitry and golden webbing that would make Iron Man proud. There's also a decent number of extras available with the figure, such as spare eyes to create different masked facial expressions, spare webbing to recreate some dynamic scenes, a themed base, and a head sculpt of Holland if you feel like taking his mask off.

| Phil Spencer Says Seeing Older Games Succeed On Game Pass Could Help Greenlight Reboots Posted: 14 Jul 2021 07:38 AM PDT Banjo-Kazooie fans may have just been given the avenue they need to make Banjo-Threeie a reality. Xbox head Phil Spencer has revealed that seeing legacy Xbox games succeeding as part of the company's Game Pass service could help justify future reboots. Speaking on the Kinda Funny Gamescast, when asked if Game Pass data helps justify potential reboots Spencer said "absolutely it does," naming games like Prey and Fable as recent examples. "Seeing more people playing something like Prey, or Dishonored or going back to Fable and [that] you can talk about those games, for us as we sit back as a creative organisation and watch what people are interested in," Spencer said. "It gives us more data to think about things that we might pick up and take forward with new ideas and new teams that might want to go do that." Continue Reading at GameSpot |
| Netflix's Fear Street Part 3 1666: Watch The Creepy Trailer For The Final Movie Posted: 14 Jul 2021 07:19 AM PDT The full trailer for Fear Street Part 3: 1666 has been released. The third and final part of the three-movie adaptation of RL Stein's young adult horror series hits Netflix this Friday, July 16. While the previous two movies were set in 1994 and 1978, this final part takes us back to the 17th century. It's set in a rural community gripping by a fear of witchcraft and focuses on a witch hunt that will have repercussions three centuries later. The film will also be intercut the other timelines, as the teenagers in '94 and '78 try to finally end the curse of Shadyside. The trailer suggests that Part 3 will have a very different, creepier feel to the other movies, and will hopefully deliver a satisfying conclusion to this hugely entertaining series. Check the trailer out below: Continue Reading at GameSpot |

| Phil Spencer Says PS5's DualSense Could Inspire Xbox Controller Changes Posted: 14 Jul 2021 06:57 AM PDT Xbox boss Phil Spencer is a fan of Sony's DualSense controller for the PS5, and in a recent interview he hinted that the company may be inspired to make a more feature-rich peripheral for the Xbox Series X|S. "We're definitely thinking about different kinds of devices that can bring more games to more places," Spencer said on the Kinda Funny Gamescast as reported by VGC. "There's probably some work that we'll do on the controller. I think Sony's done a nice job with their controller and we kind of look at some of that and think there are things that we should go do."  Continue Reading at GameSpot  |
| Here's What The Bloodborne Gascoigne Fight Would Look Like On PS1 Posted: 14 Jul 2021 06:45 AM PDT Bloodborne PSX takes the PS4-exclusive action-RPG and turns it into an original PlayStation game, complete with primitive 3D graphics, heavy scanlines, and the slightly fuzzy audio that defined Sony's first console. The fan-made project isn't complete yet, but its development team has released a new video showing off the iconic Father Gascoigne fight. If you thought it was hard in 1080p, you haven't seen anything yet. Beginning with the same cutscene--albeit as a "demake"--as the PS4 version, the footage clearly isn't just run through some sort of PS1 filter. Instead, we see classic retro-style blood effects and completely redone characters and environments. Though the dialogue sounds like it's still the original voice actors, the effect put over the recording resembles the low-fidelity audio of the original PlayStation. The basic flow of combat is the same, with blood vials and bullets still visible alongside the health and stamina bars, and the Insight system is even represented on the retro UI. What could make the game even harder than trying to play it on an original PlayStation controller (is it even possible without a DualShock?) is the 4:3 aspect ratio, along with the CRT filter giving it such heavy scanlines that it's harder to make sense of what is happening.
