    Have Questions About Gears of War 4? Ask the Devs This Friday

    Gears of War 4 developer The Coalition has announced it will hold a Q&A session this week where it will take questions live during a video broadcast.

    The event is scheduled for Friday, August 12, beginning at 3 PM PT / 6 PM ET. You can watch the event live on the Gears of War Twitch channel here.

    Jack Felling (Esports producer) and Octus (community manager) will be on hand during the livestream to answer questions about the Gears of War 4 Pro Circuit and anything else about the game.

    Gears of War 4 launches on October 11 as an Xbox Play Anywhere game. This means you can buy a digital copy on either Xbox One or PC and receive access on both platforms. The PC version will support dynamic resolution scaling similar to what’s seen on Xbox One, where the frame rate is locked at 30 FPS in single-player and 60 FPS in multiplayer.

    The Coalition recently revealed the many ways in which the game has changed since its beta earlier this year and teased that a movie based on the series could be on the way.

    More recently, some new campaign footage debuted, showing off Marcus Fenix mourning his tomatoes…and a new enemy race.

  • New Star Wars Rogue One Teaser Trailer Is Ominous

    A new trailer for Star Was Rogue One debuts tomorrow, August 11, but you don’t have to wait that long to see some fresh footage from this year’s sci-fi film.

    Lucasfilm has released a teaser for the trailer. It’s only 15 seconds long, but it does have some new sequences showing off the main characters, both human and otherwise. It definitely has us interested to see the full thing tomorrow.

    The new Rogue One trailer will arrive on August 11 during the Rio Olympics broadcast on NBC. Lucasfilm has not said exactly when it will air, but during the primetime slot seems like a safe bet. Whatever the case, we’ll post the trailer here when it arrives.

    During Star Wars Celebration in July, Lucasfilm released a behind-the-scenes clip from Rogue One. Lucasfilm also showed panel attendees some new footage that featured Darth Vader. It’s possible this is the video that will be released on Thursday, but this is not confirmed.

    Rogue One hits theaters on December 16, 2016. The first spinoff film in Star Wars history is directed by Godzilla‘s Gareth Edwards, and stars Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, Donnie Yen, Riz Ahmed, Forest Whitaker, and Mads Mikkelsen.
