How This Spider-Man Perk Led To The Uncharted Movie

PlayStation owners have likely heard the news by now that Sony is planning a complete rework of its PlayStation Plus service, confirming what'd been long suspected — but Sony has remained pessimistic when it comes to questions about whether AAA PlayStation exclusives would ever see day-one releases on the new platform, as Microsoft has done with Xbox Game Pass. Now, Sony is fielding questions and discussing the finer details about why players won't be seeing "God of War: Ragnarok" or the next big "Uncharted" game landing on the revamped streaming service at the same time as it's first available for purchase.

"Resident Evil" has received several live-action adaptations over the years, starting with the 2002 "Resident Evil" movie directed by Paul W.S. Anderson. Yesterday, Netflix released a foreboding trailer for the latest adaptation. With the new series, fans will have the opportunity to see a mix of old and new faces returning to Raccoon City (or rather, New Raccoon City) to tackle a zombie cataclysm and the events preceding it. In addition to the mysteriously-alive Albert Wesker and his daughters, another, more recent popular face from the "Resident Evil" games may make an appearance as well.

One of the most intriguing films coming out in 2023 is Warner Brothers’ Barbie starring Margot Robbie, directed by Greta Gerwig. There has been so much casting news over the last couple of months, but now we have our first official picture of Robbie in costume and a confirmed release date. Barbie will be released on July 21, 2023.

The battle between YouTube and Twitch over who will be the biggest streaming network has been raging for a while now. Both platforms have been competing to try and gather as many high-profile streamers as possible. It's gotten to the point that any time a streamer's contract expires, fans grow tense wondering if the content creator is going to get an offer that entices them to change sides or stick with the service they know and love. So far, it seems like YouTube has been taking away some of Twitch's advantages, managing to convert big-name streamers like Ludwig and TimTheTatman while also holding onto previously contracted streamers like Valkyrae.

"Shenmue" is one of the most beloved games ever. Released in 1999 on the Sega Dreamcast, "Shenmue" slowly but surely developed a cult following thanks to its immersive worldbuilding and storytelling. It was one of a few open-world games on the market at the time, but it remains one of the best. "Shenmue" displayed a meticulous attention to detail and an immersive day-and-night cycle that made for a living, breathing world for players to explore.

When 2K released the "BioShock" for Xbox 360 and PC in 2007, the game immediately caught the attention gaming world through its riveting story, unique dystopian atmosphere and enjoyable gameplay. Through the highs and lows of the rest of the series, the original game still holds a special place among fans as not only a great first-person shooter, but a work of art unlike any game preceding it.

Square Enix has a reputation for its strict definition of an "underperforming" game. However, its latest agreement raises the question of if the company has gone too far. Square Enix just agreed to sell some of its high-performing studios to Swedish gaming company Embracer Group, including Crystal Dynamics, Eidos-Montréal, and Square Enix Montréal. It offered them for only $300 million, which may seem like a lot of money, but is a relatively small parting price for studios with successful series such as "Tomb Raider," "Deus Ex," and "Legacy of Kain" — along with over 50 games from Square Enix's back catalog.

Since its announcement in early 2021, the hype around indie survival title "The Day Before" has been immense. Described once as an amalgam of similar titles such as "The Last of Us" and "The Division," the Fntastic-developed, MyTona-published "The Day Before" has quickly ascended to being one of the most highly anticipated games in recent memory. The unreleased game has become so popular, in fact, that it is currently the most wishlisted game on Steam. Unfortunately for those eagerly to get their hands on the title, they might have to wait quite a while.

"The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" is widely regarded as the best open world video game of all time, with some even going so far as to count it among the best games ever made. Link's journey through a Hyrule ravaged by the Great Calamity has drawn praise from fans and critics alike since it was released in 2017, and gamers eagerly await the sequel, which still has not revealed its official title. In fact, not much is known about the follow-up to "Breath of the Wild," aside from what Nintendo has shown off in a few all-too-brief trailers. Even so, fans have their theories about what the sequel may have in store — and it seems as though a voice actor attached to one of the game's dubs has just confirmed a few of those theories.

With rumors that the next "Resident Evil" game could take years to make, Netflix is attempting to fill that gap with its latest video game adaptation. Netflix just released the teaser trailer for its first attempt at making a live-action "Resident Evil" series, showing off around a minute of the show and teasing what the story could be. Between the long-running movie series and the recent attempt at a faithful retelling of the game in "Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City" there have been a ton of "Resident Evil" adaptations. Considering the Metacritic score of some of these projects, it's safe to say that adapting the series is harder than it looks.

There doesn't seem to be a shortage of video game TV and film adaptations these days. "Sonic the Hedgehog 2" recently made video game movie history, HBO is making a "The Last of Us" TV show, and Netflix's upcoming "Resident Evil" series has spawned a lot of commentary. With other recent examples including film versions of "Uncharted" and "Monster Hunter," it's only natural to wonder which properties will be adapted next. Now it seems the patience of longtime "Alan Wake" fans is about to be rewarded.

Gamers have a language of their own. Between common abbreviations like "AOE" and widely-adopted inside baseball phrases, anyone without prior knowledge (or years of gaming experience) can quickly discover they have no idea what other players are talking about. For example, someone new to the gaming scene might not know that the abbreviation "FPS" can mean one of two things — and players might hear others using the term to talk about first-person shooters or frames per second in the same conversation. However, shakers and movers in the industry have identified this potential disconnect between new and seasoned players and have attempted to remedy the situation.
