    New Trailer for James Ivory’s ‘The Europeans’ Restoration Re-Release

    The Europeans Trailer

    “I want you to make me a promise: not to get excited.” Cohen Media Group & Cohen Film Collection have debuted an official trailer for a 2K restoration re-release of the classic 1979 film The Europeans, the first in James Ivory’s Henry James triptych. Set in the fall of 1850, a few miles outside Boston. The household of the dour Mr. Wentworth receives two unannounced visitors from Europe, Eugenia and Felix, the daughter and son of his half sister. The film deals with “the social and moral clashes between the New World and the Continent.” This first premiered at the 1979 Cannes Film Festival, and went on to earn one Academy Award nomination for Best Costume Design. The costume design and its production design “solidified the ‘state-of-the-art’ (and impeccably researched) period trappings that have since become synonymous with Merchant Ivory.” Starring Lee Remick, Robin Ellis, Wesley Addy, and Tim Choate. Enjoy the new trailer below. ›››

    Watch: 80s Action Comedy Short ‘Pizza Time’ from Director Ryan Polly

    Pizza Time Short Film

    “Round 3, fight!” It’s Pizza Time! Order yourself a pie and enjoy this action comedy short film. Pizza Time is the latest short made by filmmaking collective Maker Table, based out of Dallas, TX – we also featured their horror short Monitor last year. This incredibly fun 80s throwback is about a legendary pizza delivery driver, who upon arriving at his destination, stumbles into the scene of a hitman’s contract killing. Will he make it out alive or not? Starring Eric Jacobus and Ben Worley (who also made the music for the short). Director Ryan Polly explains: “I made the film as an homage to Jackie Chan and great action-comedy films of the 80’s.” I dig the fight choreography in this, and the arcade machines, good times. Watch in full below. ›››

  • Granblue Fantasy Versus Reveals First Wave of DLC Fighters

    Heroes and villains.

    The game may not even have a release date yet here in the West, but that hasn’t stopped Cygames and Arc System Works from showing potential buyers what Granblue Fantasy Versus has up its sleeve post-launch. The gorgeous looking fighter only has a small character roster at 11 combatants, but we’ve known for a while that it’ll be bolstered with additional heroes and villains plucked from the immensely popular Granblue Fantasy mobile title.

    The first four of those characters have been revealed in a new trailer, which you can watch above. They are: Chaos Bringer, Narmaya, Soriz, and Djeeta. The first two arrive in March 2020, while the latter two release in April 2020. Granblue Fantasy Versus itself hits Japan on the 6th February.

  • Sony Bend Sparks Syphon Filter Revival Hopes

    Logan pull.

    For as much as we like Days Gone, the world is crying out for Gabe Logan and Syphon Filter to make a comeback. Here’s the thing: Metal Gear Solid is as good as dead, and Ubisoft doesn’t appear to be in a hurry to revive Splinter Cell. The consequence? There are basically zero espionage titles in the pipeline – especially with a contemporary setting.

    Imagine, for one moment, what a PlayStation 5 reboot of Sony Bend’s famous franchise would look like: sprawling sandbox levels with multiple objectives, each of which could be tackled in myriad different ways using a wealth of different unlockable gadgets and gizmos. Sounds brilliant, doesn’t it? The title almost designs itself.

    ‘Shop Contest: $120k Banana And Some Duct Tape, Winners!

    Modern art is sometimes complicated, strange and incredible. Then sometimes a dude sticks a banana on a wall and makes a $120k selling it. And then someone else eats it as part of their own art performance. Anyways, I asked you folks to create some artwork of your own featuring either this expensive fruit or something…

  • New Frontier Pursuit, Moonshiners, Releases Today For Red Dead Redemption 2

    New Frontier Pursuit, Moonshiners, Releases Today For Red Dead Redemption 2

    Click here to watch embedded media

    Rockstar has released Moonshiners; a new frontier pursuit for the enterprising spirit, it allows players to start their own bootlegging business.

    To unlock the pursuit, players must reach Rank 5 in Trader progression. In the game, Cripps will introduce fledging booze peddles to Maggie Fike, a bootlegger with experience running around at Emeralds Ranch. From there, players will work with Maggie to build their business and get revenge on those that wronged her in a series of story missions.

    As players progress through the story, their unassuming Moonshining Shack transforms into a full operation, replete with a fully customizable speakeasy and the option for a country music band to entertain guests.

    Aside from the Moonshining business, this update adds Outlaw Pass No. 2, the Navy Revolver, new clothing options, and an increase in wardrobe size.

  • Xbox Series X Hardware & Controller Details

    Xbox Series X Hardware & Controller Details

    Microsoft surprised everyone with the reveal of its next-generation home console named the Xbox Series X, and apart from the name, our first look at the console itself, and the announcement of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, the company has revealed a few additional details about the system and its controller.

    The Xbox Series X has four times the processing power of the Xbox One X, and uses a custom AMD processor with the “latest Zen 2 and next-generation RDNA architecture.” The system does 4K and 60FPS, of course, but is capable of doing 8K and 120FPS. Microsoft says that devs will also be able to take advantage of the Series X’s GPU with Variable Rate Shading (VRS).

    Piling on more acronyms, Microsoft is also giving the Xbox Series X Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and Auto-Low Latency Mode (ALLM), both currently in the Xbox One.

    From a physical perspective, the system can be orientated horizontally or vertically – neither of which appear to interfere with the system’s cooling vent at the top.

    As for the controller, it’s been reshaped slightly in size and shape to be more accommodating to more people, and a dedicated share button has been added right in the middle. The d-pad is a new one similar to the one on the Elite Series 2 controller.

    Running with the theme of Series X’s software backwards compatibility functionality, the controller works with Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs. The new controller comes packed in with the console.

  • Gleamlight Publisher Responds To Accusations Of Game Being A Hollow Knight “Ripoff”

    “the game has nothing to do with that title”.

    One Switch announcement you might recall from Nintendo’s ‘Indie World‘ showcase earlier this week is Gleamlight, created by the developers of Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night.

    Almost immediately, this new game was compared to Hollow Knight – with comments across various social media platforms stating how similar the two titles looked in terms of aesthetics, and some even going as far as calling Gleamlight a “ripoff” of Team Cherry’s hit release.

  • The Latest Patch For Civilization VI On Switch Resolves Victory Crashes

    Well, kind of…

    Last week, you might recall an issue affecting the Switch version of Civilization VI, which resulted in the game crashing right before a victory. The development team was quick to provide an official response, explaining how you had to “declare war” against the crash-causing civilization before the end of your turn.

    Thankfully, you shouldn’t have to worry about your game crashing anymore. A new patch now available for the Switch version means you can now load up your existing saves and win. That’s provided you don’t load up an old one and try to claim a cultural victory. Fortunately, there are “no issues” with new game saves.
