Sony Pictures removes the Uncharted film from its upcoming release schedule, prompting some concern from fans over the action movie’s production status. As fortunate as Naughty Dog has been to produce some of the greatest modern games in both the Uncharted series and The Last of Us, the developer has been much less lucky when it comes to turning its popular narratives into bonafide Hollywood films. Uncharted 4 and Last of Us game director Neil Druckmann recently claimed that the Last of Us film is stuck in development hell despite the game’s revered status in most video game communities....

Being a witcher is hard work that almost doesn’t pay for Geralt, especially in the books. In the games, he’s a filthy rich vineyard owner but for those who want to stay true to Geralt’s plight as a professional monster slayer, they’ll have to take note of how thrifty he has to be when it comes to his equipment and weapons. That means taking note of the most essential crafting components for his swords, armor, and other gear....

It’s that time of year again when we get to smell what 2K’s cooking with their annual WWE game. This year we got WWE 2K18, a title that sports the biggest roster to date, a much improved graphical face-lift, and a more thorough career mode this time around. However, for all of its strides to improve on last year’s attempt, WWE 2K18 definitely isn’t without its blemishes. We video game/wrestling fan hybrids normally know what to expect from the series by this point, and sadly, this year’s iteration from the hugely popular sports entertainment brand does little to prove us wrong....

Chris Pratt will officially reprise the role of Peter Quill/Star-Lord in Thor: Love and Thunder, according to THR. Pratt was last seen as Quill during the finale of Avengers: Endgame, when he and many of the other Marvel heroes were restored to existence for the final battle against Thanos. At movie’s end, the reunited Guardians ventured back into space to search for Gamora (Zoe Saldana), with one extra companion on board: the God of Thunder himself (Chris Hemsworth), who seemed eager to possibly assert his authority over Quill, the team’s leader....

Die Maschine has six perks as of writing this, not including the one-stop-shop at the top of Nacht der Untoten. Those are the classic Jugger-Nog, Speed Cola, Quick Revive, Deadshot Daiquiri, Stamin-Up, and the brand-new Elemental Pop. However, Treyarch is reviving a perk of old from Black Ops 2 come next season - Tombstone. What Tombstone does is pretty simple: when downed, you can spawn a power-up akin to carpenter or nuke, and this power-up kills you on the spot....

Twitch issued an apology after circulating insensitive emotes as part of its Hispanic Heritage Month. The emotes, criticized for a mixture of whitewashing and stereotyping, quickly garnered a cold response online and have been pulled from the site. However, images of the emotes are still circulating, with some members of the Twitch community directing negative feedback at the company’s Twitter page. There are three emotes that have caused a stir, one depicting a woman wearing a sombrero, one depicting a woman holding maracas, and the final one being a woman with a guitar....

The horror genre seems to be a natural fit for virtual reality, with countless VR horror games already on the market and in development. Now at Ubisoft’s E3 2017 press conference, yet another VR horror project has been announced in the form of a psychological thriller called Transference. Transference, which will also be playable outside of VR, was introduced at E3 by Elijah Wood in a creepy trailer with a lot of live-action footage....

A new wind has been blowing through the sails of Ubisoft’s forgotten Skull & Bones project, as rumors of a reboot began circulating over the summer. Now, the open-world pirate adventure has found a new creative captain, who gave the official word that the game has steered in a “new direction.” Ubisoft’s new creative director on the project, Elisabeth Pellen, wrote an official statement on the company’s website yesterday. Pellen’s words provided an update on the title’s progress, whilst thanking fans for their patience....

Sophomore efforts can be difficult for filmmakers who hit it out of the park the first time. And Jordan Peele did not just bat a home run when he wrote and directed Get Out—the pop culture-seizing and box office-smashing horror film that netted Peele a screenplay Oscar and the attention of every type of moviegoer, from genre to prestige—he hit it into a quarter billion-dollar orbit. Whereas other directors in similar situations would go on to resist trying to expand on the themes of their first effort, Peele uses them as a foundation for something far grander and more audacious in Us....

The Elder is Valheim’s second boss, a king among trees that dwells within the Black Forest biomes. This ent-like creature is not exceptionally more difficult than the first boss, Eikthyr, and he can also be hacked to make the battle an absolute breeze. Still, there is a bit more to this boss battle compared to your first boss encounter, and you’ll want to continue bolstering your equipment accordingly. Summoning The Elder Runes with the second boss’s location can be found within the Black Forest, inside Burial Chambers unlocked by defeating Eikthyr....

Despite being one of the best episodes of the series so far, much of episode 7 of House of the Dragon was overshadowed (quite literally it seems) by how dark some scenes appeared for viewers. While this wasn’t a problem for everyone, many took to Twitter with reports of how hard it was to watch this episode. This isn’t the first time that director Miguel Sapochnik has made technical and creative choices that result in episodes that are almost impossible for some viewers to see....

Though he’s only appeared in two Marvel Cinematic Universe properties so far, Jimmy Woo has become a fan favorite. With his puns, desire to get his job done, and great performance from Randall Park, fans can’t get enough of him. After his recent search for a missing person turned into one very strange investigation in WandaVision, plenty of fans are clamoring on social media for a series focused on the character....

Warframe is an incredible free-to-play game where players don mighty frames to travel the stars and rid the universe of evil. Each frame possesses unique abilities and different playstyles. Considering there are more than 60 frames to take into battle, odds are there’s a frame for every player and their needs. While the standard Equinox has been around since 2015, the newly released Prime Equinox released in April brings greater stats and different polarities....

There’s one big choice in Watch Dogs: Legion and you come across it in the 404 questline: Family Business. Spoilers follow. The quest is related to Skye Larsen, a tech mogul who wants to create the ultimate AI by using human consciousness uploaded to machines, and lobotomising them once they merge. She’s so serious about the tech that she did it to her own mum, and now she wants to ascend herself - uploading her brain to the cloud - so that she can live forever....

Watch Dogs Legion builds on the spirit of Watch Dogs 2 to deliver an experience that lets players indulge in the fun of future technology. Where the first game tried to play everything straight and the second game featured a lot more personality, Watch Dogs Legion embraces the cool possibilities of using a spider robot to shock security guards or riding a shipping drone to the top of the London Eye....

Here it is, ladies and gentlemen, the official controller design for the Playstation 5. Sony is dropping the DualShock name from their next controller and rebranding it the DualSense to emphasize the way the controller engages your senses. Gone are the colored face buttons, which is sure to surprise many players (and will definitely make tutorials more complicated). The two-toned DualSense maintains the DualShock 4’s extended grips and donut-shaped thumbsticks. While it looks similar, there’s a lot of new tech on the inside....

If your teens have been using troubling slang of late like “Pawn to E5,” “Castling,” and “Ponziani Opening,” we now have some evidence as to why. Netflix announced today that The Queen’s Gambit, its chess drama starring Anya Taylor-Joy, has become the most-watched Netflix original miniseries ever, with over 62 million households having taken in all the chess action. Per Netflix, those 62 million households watched The Queen’s Gambit in its first 28 days of release....

We’re all massive Prey fans here at TheGamer. However, we’re almost always referring to the 2017 reboot from Arkane Studios, which has absolutely nothing to do with the sci-fi shooter that established the franchise over 15 years ago. I’m talking about Prey from Human Head Studios, a gruesomely fascinating experience that emerged back in 2006 and acted as a compelling showcase for the Xbox 360, a console that was fresh off the block and in desperate need of big games....

They’re not coy about it in The Suicide Squad marketing. As one of Amanda Waller’s underlings screams with utter joy in trailer, “Oh my God, we’ve got a freaking kaiju up in this shit!” Yep. The apparent lead villain of James Gunn’s wild reimagining of DC’s supervillain team is Starro: a Godzilla-sized alien starfish how has dreams on world domination. That makes sense. When we sat down to speak with Gunn last month, we brought up the character and just why the filmmaker felt so endeared to this creature that he wanted to see Starro go head to head with his version of the Suicide Squad....
