Cinema  Joker: Folie à Deux Trailer Sparks Wild Fan Theories About Arthur Fleck and Harley Quinn

The first trailer for Joker: Folie à Deux has sparked several wild fan theories about the relationship between Joaquin Phoenix's Arthur Fleck and Lady Gaga's Harley Quinn. The trailer for the upcoming sequel debuted during Warner Bros.' CinemaCon presentation, and it has already taken the internet by storm. The footage shows the Clown Prince of Crime finding his princess in fellow Arkham Asylum patient Harley Quinn, as a carousel of clips captures their courtship. One of the more striking elements of the trailer is how it appears to switch from what could be described as the pair's romantic delusions to a much grimmer existence, blurring the lines between fantasy and reality, in turn sending some fans spiraling over the potential...

Project  'Gundam Evolution' private server project gets public alpha release following official End of Service

Gundam Evolution was a 6v6 free-to-play hero shooter set in the Gundam universe that launched in late 2022 on PC and consoles.

Following this, a group of fans have started a project to host a private server for the game. They have recently entered a public alpha release, accessible via Discord. You can join the on-going discussion thread to learn more about the project. :arrow: Gundam Evolution private server project discussion thread

Cinema  Joker: Folie à Deux First Trailer Unites Joaquin Phoenix's Arthur Fleck With Lady Gaga's Harley Quinn

The first trailer for Joker: Folie à Deux is here, featuring the return of Joaquin Phoenix's Arthur Fleck/Joker and introducing Lady Gaga's version of Harley Quinn. The highly anticipated first trailer dropped on Tuesday after Warner Bros.' CinemaCon presentation in Las Vegas. It's a decent look at Folie à Deux, giving us our first glimpse at what it may tackle. A large part of the focus, of course, is on Arthur, but the trailer - and WB's own tagline, "he's not alone anymore" - makes a point to highlight how this'll be Harley's story, too. It seems to confirm a massive shift in Harley Quinn's origin story as well, as it appears to show her as a patient in Arkham Asylum rather than as a psychiatrist. Long gone, it seems, are the days...

Cinema  Joker 2 Trailer Teaser: Joaquin Phoenix Returns In Unnerving 25-Second Single Take

The first official footage from the anticipated Joker: Folie à Deux has been released. While there is a lot of excitement for James Gunn's DC Universe, the only DCU project coming in 2024 is the animated Creature Commandos series. However, that is no issue, as Joker: Folie à Deux's exciting cast can make up for the fact that the movie is the only theatrical release from DC this year, and the first footage for the upcoming DC movie looks great. On Twitter, the official Joker movie account released the first teaser for Joker: Folie à Deux, with the movie's full trailer coming at 6:30pm PT. The first look at Joker: Folie à Deux's story comes in the form of Joaquin Phoenix's Arthur Fleck looking sad but laughing due to the condition he...

Cinema  Alien: Romulus' Creature Update Solves 1 Of The Big Problems With Ridley Scott's Prometheus

Alien: Romulus promises to be an exciting next step in the popular franchise, yet one creature update simultaneously harkens back to the series' roots while correcting its previous mistakes. Directed by Evil Dead and Don't Breathe's Fede Álvarez, the movie already has impressive horror credentials. Yet with both of these previous releases, the 46-year-old Uruguayan director eschewed some of the industry's go-to techniques – a theme that seems to be repeating with Alien: Romulus, perhaps to good effect. Although the movie's story details are being kept under wraps, Alien: Romulus promises to return to the most popular period in the Alien series timeline. Set between the events of Alien and Aliens, the film features a whole new crew of a...

Gaming  Is It Finally Time For Devil May Cry 6?

Given that the passage of time has been bizarrely warped since the start of the pandemic, it may surprise you to learn that it has now been five years since the most recent entry in the Devil May Cry series. Devil May Cry 5 launched on PS4, Xbox One, and PC all the way back in March 2019, and in the half-decade since, we haven't heard a peep about Devil May Cry 6. A mobile game called Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat did come out earlier this year. Games take longer than ever to make, so it isn't that unusual for a sequel to take five years to arrive. For comparison, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order also launched in 2019, and its sequel didn't arrive until 2023. Death Stranding debuted the same year, and its sequel isn't due until 2025. The...

Trailer  Star Wars Outlaws Release Date Revealed Alongside a Story Trailer Teasing the Underworld's 'Golden Age'

Alongside an action-packed and story-filled trailer, Ubisoft has revealed that Star Wars Outlaws will officially be released on August 30, 2024. Star Wars Outlaws, which is set between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, puts players in the shoes of a scoundrel named Kay Vess during a "golden age for the Underworld." In the trailer, this golden age was proclaimed by the crime lord Sliro of the Zerek Besh syndicate to the other groups like the Pykes, Crimson Dawn, and Hutts. He continues by saying, "The Empire controls every corner of the galaxy, but they're distracted by a Rebellion that won't quit. It's an opportunity to make millions." Kay Vess finds herself in the middle of all of this when she crosses...

News Gaming  This Could Be the GTA 6 Jason Actor

American actor Gregory Joseph Connors may be the voice of Jason, one of the two protagonists of Grand Theft Auto 6. While the evidence pointing to that possibility is inconclusive, Game Rant has discovered that Connors's involvement in GTA 6 is much more of a certainty. The question of who will play the lead roles in the next mainline Grand Theft Auto game has been the subject of rampant fan speculation for years. As far as the game's male protagonist is concerned, one long-standing theory was that the GTA 6 role of Jason went to Bryan Zampella. The actor himself was happy to stoke those rumors with frequent social media posts reminiscent of Vice City imagery. But evidence suggesting Zampella's involvement in the much-anticipated game...

SEGA officially labels 2024 as the "Fearless: Year of Shadow"

Shadow The Hedgehog is one of the top favourite characters and fan favourites in the entirety of the Sonic franchise, and according to several polls online, Shadow's popularity is only 2nd to Sonic himself, and his presence continues to be strongly featured in Sonic media to this day, ever since his first iconic appearance in Sonic Adventure 2 for the Dreamcast in 2001. Shadow's popularity continues to grow overtime, and SEGA has taken the opportunity to make 2024 the official "Fearless Year of Shadow", with a whole new marketing campaign focusing on Shadow The Hedgehog. SEGA gave their own explanation about the Year of Shadow through the official website for the event: The Year of Shadow consists so far of several events...

Cinema  The Alien: Romulus Trailer Brings the Iconic Sci-Fi Franchise Back to Basics

The original Alien was a revolutionary sci-fi movie. Until its 1979 debut, alien invasion stories were the stuff of big-budget spectacle or B-movie pulp, movies that treated aliens with reverence and awe. But Ridley Scott took the first-contact concept and turned it into a home invasion movie on a spaceship, in a grimy, claustrophobic thriller that featured blue-collar characters and a surprising female heroine. It's no wonder Alien became instantly iconic, spawning hundreds of copycats and a franchise characterized by spectacular highs and embarrassing lows. While Scott took the franchise to divisive new places with his prequel films Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, a return to its roots could make Alien truly feel like Alien again...

Gaming  The End Of The Anticipated Game Era

When I was a kid, the internet was a simpler place. It was slower and it made a weird noise every time you logged on, but it felt easier. More utopian. All anyone could talk about was Chuck Norris and we all said 'rawr xd' a lot. That, and we all wanted Half Life 3. But that era is over, and gaming does not have a replacement. Nobody talks about or expects Half Life 3 anymore, but for a while other games took its place. Tuning into The Game Awards or other gaming advertising showcases, comments have been flooded with various memes over the years. Sora in Smash, Elden Ring, GTA 6, and Silksong have all had their moment in the sun. But this seems to be fading, so what does that mean? All The Games We Were Waiting For Are Here Sora in...

Gaming  This indie game is about the struggles of pooping on the clock

Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that's why I poop on company time. This statement has become a well-worn mantra of the working man, but a recent indie game challenges its wisdom. Please Leave Me Alone, I Need to Poop is a game about balancing biological needs with the demands of the workplace, but it takes a quick hand at some WarioWare-style minigames to meet both urgent needs. Please Leave Me Alone, I Need to Poop starts with the player character's boss calling and giving them notes for an important presentation. Unfortunately, this coincides with the protagonist's need to take a dump. This introduces a very important question: Do you hear your boss out, thus arriving to the presentation well-prepared and ready to go (in more...

Wii U and 3DS online services shutting down today, but Pretendo is here to save the day

Today, April 8th, 2024, at 4PM PT, marks the day in which Nintendo permanently ends support for both the 3DS and the Wii U online services, which include co-op play, internet rankings and data distribution, according to Nintendo's own news post. This means that games that heavily rely on online services, like the original Super Mario Maker for Wii U (and 3DS), Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon's online multiplayer, and several other games will effectively stop working, more so for Super Mario Maker since that game is entirely relying on online user-created levels for the gaming experience. However, all is not lost, as the fan and homebrew community is here to save the day (as is always the case), even in the most dire of events like the...
