Champion Formula 1 racer Lewis Hamilton will be in Infinity Ward’s Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. Hamilton, who drives for team Mercedes, announced his appearance in the game on Twitter, but didn’t say exactly what role he has in the game.
Based on the image attached to his Twitter post, it looks like he could be either a pilot, which makes sense given his profession, or an engineer of some sort. Take a look at the picture below.
“I grew up with Super Mario, where the graphics were outdated at the time,” Hamilton said in an interview, as reported by Motorsport. “It’s crazy to see how far it [computer games have come] – the realisation is unbelievable.
“I loved it,” he said, discussing his involvement in the game. “It was a great experience, I am incredibly honoured to be part of this game. I’ve been a fan for years,” he added.
ZeniMax Media Online Studios has released a new patch for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions of The Elder Scrolls Online. The update, called One Tamriel, “allows you to play anywhere, with anyone, at anytime” by scaling characters to the appropriate level for content you’re playing.
“That means you can take your max-level character and help a friend that’s new to ESOwithout having to create a new character; you can play with anyone regardless of their level or alliance. And best of all, this update is completely free to all ESO players,” the studio explained on its website.
One Tamriel also includes the ability to form bigger groups and guild: “By dropping Alliance and level-grouping barriers, you will now be able to adventure with many new friends starting today. And, of course, you will be able to go wherever you want as the game no longer restricts your location based on level, so enjoy your newfound exploration.”
Bethesda has never shared the player numbers The Elder Scrolls Online has, but Firor previously said it had around 235,000 people in the game at the same time when it came out on consoles. A further 200,000 were waiting in queues.
Throughout October, The Witches Festival event will be taking place in The Elder Scrolls Online. As part of the event, Tamriel will be populated with demonologists, conjurors, lamias, warlocks, and thaumaturgists, who will take part in incantations, invocations, and conjurations to celebrate the season.
Things are heating up in this week’s episode of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD. Coulson complained that everyone except him has seen the Ghost Rider. This week, it’s his turn as the two cross paths. Daisy continues her fight against the Watchdogs, but needs some help from a friend. If that wasn’t enough, there’s also more about the mysterious evil book everyone is looking for.
Warning: Spoilers for Season 4, Episode 4 of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD, “Let Me Stand Next to Your Fire,” will be discussed below.
Daisy and Simmons Team Up
One aspect of the show that’s been different this season is the separation of the core cast. This begins to change when Daisy has no choice but to seek out Simmons’ help. Daisy has been on her own mission and being pursued by SHIELD. After a run-in with some members of the Watchdogs, the anti-Inhuman terrorist group, Daisy obtained a classified SHIELD list of Inhumans they managed to get their hands on. She also got a bullet in her back. After forcing Simmons to help so she wouldn’t have to lie to the Director, they discover that James, one of the Inhumans that got sucked into Hive’s dark control, is on the Watchdogs’ target list.
Ghost Rider vs. Coulson
Coulson figures out that Eli Morrow has a connection to the Momentum facility and the ghosts running around. After talking to him in prison and getting no help, he and Mack see Robbie Reyes drive by outside. Reyes recognizes Mack from their previous encounter and this leads to a high-octane car chase with Coulson’s car, Lola. The chase ends with Robbie being captured and put in a containment unit. Coulson decides to trust him since Daisy does and lets him out. Robbie agrees to help them and talks to his uncle to try to get more information on the ghosts created at the facility.
Uncle Eli, the Ghosts, and the Darkhold
Eli won’t talk to Coulson, and while he’s reluctant to discuss things with his nephew, he does finally share his backstory with Robbie. The man Eli beat up and put in a coma, Joseph, is the husband of the main ghost, Lucy Bauer. Eli was brought into the project at Momentum and believed Joseph killed the entire team. They were working on a quantum particle generator and were trying to create matter. Eli’s not sure where Lucy would go, but says she’d go after “the book.” He doesn’t mention the Darkhold by name but says it has all the knowledge anyone would need. The entire team read it (which could be why they’re all ghosts), and it’s evil. Coulson later convinces Daisy and Robbie to help SHIELD find the book.
Hellfire and the Watchdogs
When Simmons and Daisy track down James, he’s still trying to adjust to a life away from Hive‘s influence after last season. It turns out he has quite a bit of resentment due to being turned into an Inhuman despite his prior obsession with Terrigenesis. He’s been helping the Watchdogs and betrays Simmons and Daisy to the group. James hates all Inhumans, including himself, and wants them all dead. A fight ensues, and when it looks bad for the injured Daisy and out-of-ammo Simmons, Ghost Rider arrives to take on Hellfire. It’s a pretty epic fight, but James is no match for Ghost Rider.
Aida Is Revealed to the Team…Sort of
Agent May is recovering from being cured of the ghost infection. Radcliffe lets Aida, the life model decoy, attend to her as a test. If May doesn’t suspect anything, they could be ready to take the LMD to another level. Aida later meets others on the team, including Coulson. No one suspects anything until Simmons arrives. She pulls Fitz aside and immediately points out that Aida is an android. Fitz explains the Director can’t be allowed to know about her/it yet. With Simmons’ mandatory lie detector tests, she’ll have to keep this, and helping Daisy, from being discovered.
Our Thoughts
There wasn’t any shortage of action or suspense in this episode. We’re seeing the show veer away from the comics with Robbie’s Uncle Eli. Since he’s still alive and not the evil spirit that possesses Robbie, we need to find out who exactly is the “devil” Robbie made a deal with. Could it be the elder god, Chthon, due to the Darkhold connection?
The others have met Aida. It’s only a matter of time until they all discover she’s actually an LMD. Will she be used in the field? Perhaps she could be used against the ghosts since they wouldn’t be able to infect her. It seems more likely the ghost story would get wrapped up before Aida is ready field action.
Coulson will have to figure out how to keep the fact that Daisy and Robbie are working with them from the Director. With the various run-ins the two have had with the rest of the team, it makes sense to put them all back together. If nothing else, it’ll guarantee more spectacular fight scenes in the next episode.
Sony has found a director for its upcoming Mulan movie, based on the the Chinese legend of a young woman who surreptitiously takes her father’s place in battle.
According to Deadline, Alex Graves has been brought on to direct the live-action film. Graves is a TV veteran, having directed episodes of Game of Thrones, Homeland, Shameless, The Newsroom, and Bloodline, among others.
Sony’s Mulan movie is one of at least two currently in production. The other is a live-action reimagining of the 1998 animated classic Mulan from Disney. According to Deadline, Sony’s Mulan movie is “being designed for the international marketplace, so it[s] pace won’t necessarily be determined by progress on the Disney film.” Sony’s film is being written by Jason Keller (Escape Plan, Mirror Mirror).
A number of Disney properties are getting turned into live-action movies. Maleficent, Cinderella, and The Jungle Book have already released, with Beauty and the Beast set for a March 2017 premiere. Other films in the works include Cruella, which stars Emma Stone and is based on 101 Dalmations; Tink, with Reese Witherspoon as Tinkerbell from Peter Pan; and the recently announced Lion King remake, which has Iron Man and The Jungle Book director Jon Favreau attached.
Capcom has released a pair of new Resident Evil 7 gameplay videos. The clips are very brief, showcasing some of the game’s features. The first video spotlights the horror game’s save point system, which involves finding cassette tape recorders to mark your progress.
The second video shows off some of the things you can do with your knife that do not involve killing. As you’ll see, you can use your knife to open containers, either with brute force or by way of a more surgical approach. Check out the two videos below.
Resident Evil 7 is set to release for PS4, Xbox One, and PC on January 24, 2017. A deluxe version of Resident Evil 7 will be available for $89.99 and includes the game and a season pass with three extra story chapters.
GameSpot recently got the opportunity to play the upcoming survival-horror game and found that it continues to break tradition.
It’s a big day for Rock Band 4, as the music game’s long-awaited Rivals expansion comes out today. Not only that, but the new, foldable Jaguar Fender guitar made by PDP is also out now.
You can get Rivals as an expansion to Rock Band 4 for $30, while newcomers in search of the game and the Jaguar guitar can pick up a $90 bundle that includes both. If you already have a guitar, but want Rivals, you can pick it up for $60 in a bundle that contains all the songs from the base game and the updates from the past year like the Brutal and Practice modes. A Rivals-themed band kit, containing Rivals, the Jaguar guitar, and a drumset is available now for $200.
As announced previously, Rock Band 4’s Rivals expansion comes with the new Rivals mode, which is an asynchronous mode where multiple players “join up remotely as members of Crews to compete in a stats battle with other Crews around the world.” Rivals also comes with what’s called “Rockudrama,” a new story campaign that “pulls you through a twisting, funny, and sometimes tragic story of your band’s history and triumph over adversity.”
People who buy Rivals will also get access to other content updates coming out in the future, including synchronous online multiplayer, which arrives this holiday. More character customization options are also on the way.
Unfortunately for Rock Band fans in Europe, they will have to wait a little longer. Physical Rivals bundles have been delayed to November 8, Harmonix announced in a blog post. The developer also confirmed that everyone who buys a digital copy of Rivals between October 18 and November 1 will get bonuses in the form of an extra 10 songs and more Rock Shop items.
Additionally, Harmonix has kicked off a new sale to celebrate the launch of Rivals. Now through October 24, players can save 30 percent on the following track packs:
Creedence Clearwater Revival Pack 01 ($14 instead of $20)
Foo Fighters Pack 03 ($4.89 instead of $7)
My Chemical Romance Pack 01 ($3.84 instead of $5.49)
Are you still playing Rock Band 4? Will this expansion draw you back? Let us know in the comments below!
Return to Arkham, which costs $50, contains updated versions of last-generation Batman games Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, which were developed by Rocksteady. Both contain “fully remastered and updated” graphics, while all previously released DLC is also included for both games.
Return to Arkham was developer by Virtuous, which previously worked on Heavy Rain‘s PS4 version and contributed to Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End. Additionally, the company created assets for Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
The first two Batman Arkham games garnered near-unanimous praise from critics. GameSpot’s Arkham Asylum review said: “everything about this game–the impressive visuals, stirring soundtrack, superb voice acting, fiendish puzzles, hard-hitting combat–feels like it has been lovingly crafted by a development team that’s both knowledgeable and passionate about the source material.”
Arkham City was also rated highly: “From the speedy exhilaration of soaring high above the streets to the atmospheric thrill of discovering long-forgotten secrets in the tunnels below Gotham, this is an unforgettable adventure that will keep you coming back to the cape and cowl long after you’ve seen the credits roll.”
Take a look at the side-by-side trailer below to see how the graphics compare.
It’s October 18, so Battlefield 1 is now playable on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC for people who buy that version of the game. In addition to early access, you get the Red Baron Pack and the Lawrence of Arabia Pack, which come with themed weapons, vehicles, and items. You also receive five Battlepacks containing “stand-out weapon skins,” as well as an “exclusive appearance” on Behemoth vehicles.
Battlefield 1 was already playable on Xbox One and PC for EA/Origin Access subscribers; in fact, the 10-hour trial has been available since October 13 on those platforms. However, the content was limited. Now that the Early Enlister edition is out, people playing the Play First Trial on Xbox One and PC will receive access to the remaining multiplayer maps and modes.
Progress from the Battlefield Play First Trial will carry forward to the full game, so there is no need to worry about having to start over or anything like that.
Battlefield 1’s first DLC map is called Giant’s Shadow. It’s free for everyone and comes out in December. The game’s first premium pass expansion, They Shall Not Pass, comes out in March 2017.
Stephen Merchant is best known for his comedy roles in films such as Hot Fuzz and Hall Pass, as well as being the co-writer of the original British version of The Office. Merchant will soon be taking on a darker role as sewer-dwelling mutant Caliban in the upcoming third Wolverine movie Logan. Director James Mangold has tweeted a first image of the actor in character–check it out below:
This will actually be the second time in a year that Caliban has appeared in a movie within the X-Men universe. He featured in this summer’s X-Men: Apocalypse, played by Tómas Lemarquis.
Logan will be Hugh Jackman’s last time playing Wolverine, and the movie will also see Patrick Stewart return to the role of Professor X. Jackman recently hinted that the movie would take a different approach to its predecessors. “Basically it’s going to be different. Very different in tone and hopefully to anything we’ve done,” he told ET Online.
The notes contained in a page of script that Mangold tweeted earlier this month certainly suggest something more hard-hitting than the previous Wolverine movies. “If you’re on the make for a hyper choreographed, gravity defying, city-block destroying, CG f**kathon, this ain’t your movie,” they state. “In this flick, people will get hurt or killed when s**t falls on them.”
A first poster for the movie was revealed a few weeks ago–check it out here.
Take-Two, parent company of Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption developer Rockstar Games, has registered the domain name “ReadDeadOnline.com.” The registration was spotted by Twitter user Bill Wright and a WhoIs search lists the owner as Take-Two.
The URL currently redirects to a Rockstar Newswire post featuring the artwork released on October 17. It’s worth noting that domains can easily be registered by anyone and, in most cases, a publisher will secure a domain to keep others from doing so. The fact that RedDeadOnline.com has been registered isn’t definitive confirmation of its existence.
Using GTA Online’s gameplay and business model for more Rockstar Games franchises–such as Red Dead–would no doubt be of interest to Take-Two. Rockstar has been teasing something new related to Red Dead for the past few days. On October 16, the studio’s Twitter, Facebook, and official website switched to a Red Dead-themed logo, then the image showing seven cowboys was released a day later.
It has been speculated that a new entry in the series will be announced soon. Strauss Zelnick, the CEO of Rockstar’s parent company, previously told investors to think about Red Dead as a “permanent” franchise like Grand Theft Auto, so a new Red Dead is inevitable. Given the success of GTA Online, it would make sense to have a similar online component for the new Red Dead title too.
Of course, Red Dead Redemption had its own online multiplayer mode, which had some open-world gameplay. Players could create a posse and roam around the Wild West assaulting gang bases, hunting wildlife, or soaking in the scenery.
