    Lego Star Wars: All-Stars Announced As Animated Series

    Disney has revealed a new more kid-friendly Star Wars show titled Lego Star Wars: All-Stars, bearing no small similarity to the video game series of the same theme.

    The series will be produced for Disney’s online streaming service, DisneyNOW, as well on the DisneyXD. A number of shorts will premiere October 28, leading to full episodes later in November. While this normally wouldn’t be huge news, the name has been floating around the rumor mill for quite as a possible escalation for the Lego Star Wars game series. All-Stars brings together every Star Wars characters irrespective of timeline or canon or who’s alive and who’s not.

    Check out the trailer below.

    Even though the speculation that All-Stars is actually a game didn’t prove to be correct yet, it’s definitely possible that the shorts are a prelude to doing the same concept with a game. The series has been oddly quiet since the release of The Force Awakens, with Traveler’s Tales not announcing games for either Rogue One or The Last Jedi. Presumably they must have something big up their sleeves.

  • New Preview Alpha Skip Ahead 19H1 Build – 10/26/18

    Starting at 2:00 p.m. PDT today, members of the Xbox One Preview Skip Ahead will begin receiving the latest 19H1 Xbox One system update (rs_xbox_dev_flight.181024.2142). Read on for more about the fixes and known issues in the latest 19H1 system update.  This build has the same features as 1811 plus more to be announced over the coming months!

     

    New Features:

      

    Family Settings

    • Children signing up for new accounts will now be asked to add a parent only if required to by local privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR or COPPA). This means that some minors, like teens in the U.S., will no longer have to add a parent and join a Microsoft family during signup. Xbox privacy and online safety defaults will still be applied based on age, and in order to change those, the minor would need to add a parent on Xbox who can then change their settings. Minors not in a family can add a parent anytime in Settings > Account > Family settings > Add a parent. Joining a family would also allow the parent and child to use other family features like content restrictions, screen time, activity reporting, and spending.
    • Children that are subject to local privacy regulations will still be required to add a parent during signup. While this will create a Microsoft family through which the parent can use family features like content restrictions, screen time, activity reporting, and spending, the parent will no longer be required to sign in on Xbox. If a parent wants to change their child’s Xbox privacy and online safety settings, the parent can sign in separately on Xbox and manage their family in Settings > Account > Family settings.
    • Existing child accounts are not affected by this change and will remain with their parents in their current Microsoft family.

     Mouse & Keyboard Support

    • We have enabled mouse support in the build.  Please check out the Quest in the Xbox Insider Hub to experience mouse and keyboard support in Warframe.

     Search Enhancements

    • The search function has been enhanced across the console and will now return responses from the Xbox Assist application for example to help with help, support and troubleshooting.  Please check out the Quest in the Xbox Insider Hub to help us gather feedback.

     

    Fixes:

     

    Power

    • Additional fixed issues in which the console is fully powering off when it is placed into Instant On mode.

     System

    • Stability fixes in this build.
    • Localization fixes for large keyboards.

  • New Monster Hunter Movie Photo Shows Off Slinger

    New Monster Hunter Movie Photo Shows Off Slinger

    It is apparently no small point of pride for the people working on the upcoming Monster Hunter movie that the weapons in the film are accurate to the weapons in the game. The other day, a screen from the film showed a character carrying a rifle, causing fans to raise eyebrows at what exactly this movie was going for. Well, Milla Jovovich is happy to put doubts to rest.

    Jovovich, who starred in every Resident Evil movie, often several times in the same movie, is also headlining Monster Hunter. As Natalie Artemis, Jovovich is on the team that first discovers that monsters are coming into our world. In the photo, as a response to the shot of the rifle, she shows off the stinger as an accurate Monster Hunter weapon that will be used.

    In Monster Hunter World, the slinger is an item always on your hunter and can be loaded with different ammo and used to grapple hook around places.

    Monster Hunter the movie does not yet have a release date, but principal photography began earlier this month. Earlier cast confirmations showed Ron Perlman and T.I. Harris also on Jovovich’s anti-monster fighting team.

  • Yooka-Laylee Reveals Footage Of 64-Bit Tonic For Nostalgic Fans

    Yooka-Laylee Reveals Footage Of 64-Bit Tonic For Nostalgic Fans

    Yooka-Laylee has never made any bones about how close to the traditional N64 platformers of yore it hews to, to the point where people have mistaken it as a sequel to Banjo-Kazooie at a glance. One of the game’s promises from near launch dives deeper into that idea by introducing a 64-Bit Tonic, which Team 17 says makes the game look like a N64 title while avoiding all the copyrights of using those words.

    Some fans are a little annoyed, considering the length of time between the announcements and updates. Comments on the post complain that they thought it would actually be a real low-poly mode that looks like N64 games, when the 64-bit tonic in Yooka-Laylee appears to be lower settings, a lower capped framerate, and some filters instead – which, to be clear, is not less than what Team 17 promised.

    There’s still no date for the release of the tonic, however, so there could still be some time to go before it makes it out to consumer hands. At the moment, though, this doesn’t seem to be plucking at the nostalgia strings fans hoped it would be. When it does release, the Tonic update will be on all supported platforms.
