Oh look, another bleak indie survivial game for the PC. Only this one has…isometric visuals? And a helper robot? And a soundtrack by the wonderful Mitch Murder? OK, Impact Winter, I’m very interested.

It’s funny the first three times you see it, but then you start to wonder, what sound is he making, if he’s making any sound at all? Is it a shrill, bird-like shriek? Or is he singing a song to summon the great spirits of the void, who will emerge from the depths and consume the world?

Everyone knows about March of the Penguins, it was such a huge hit a few years back, and this looks just as good (minus Morgan Freeman narration). The latest from the director of March of the Penguins, French documentarian Luc Jacquet, is titled Ice and the Sky (in English) profiling explorer and glaciologist Claude Lorius. While we’ve seen a handful of documentaries recently about nature and the effect man has had on the world, this one is fascinating because it seems to look back at the history of exploration/research at the Polar Ice caps before delving into where we are today. The doc just premiered at the Cannes Film Festival (here’s a review). It looks like it’s a great double feature to go with Salgado’s The Salt of the Earth. ›››

Troubles with another big production. It was recently reported by The Wrap that New Line Cinema’s new version of It, adapted from Stephen King’s book about the evil clown, has been delayed indefinitely due to production troubles. Specifically, they say that director Cary Fukunaga is no longer attached and has left the project, which was nearing a June start date but was halted due to budget problems and other issues. The adaptation was originally set up at Warner Bros, with Roy Lee and Dan Lin producing, but only recently shifted to New Line where they’re a bit more stern about how much they’re willing to spend. Now it’s stuck. ›››

“Just like taking a stroll through the woods… 65 million years ago.” Universal is going all out! Not only putting John Hammond’s voice in one of their latest TV spots for Jurassic World (and this video), but now they’ve released an entire featurette featuring Steven Spielberg talking about this new movie. A new featurette has hit the web and not only does it have Spielberg, there’s actually lots of new footage, or at least a few interesting bits they haven’t shown before. There’s a better shot of the gate (see above), lots of new shots of the raptors, a cool look inside the main building, some new action beats, and that moment with Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard at the truck at the end. I must say, I am really excited to see this. ›››

As Star Wars – the original film, A New Hope – turns 38 this year (it opened May 25th, 1977), it’s hard to imagine a time when Star Wars wasn’t an ingrained part of our pop culture. For a second, just imagine a world where lightsabers aren’t a thing and the Millennium Falcon is just a figment of George Lucas’s imagination. There’s no denying Star Wars has infiltrated almost every aspect of our culture and as we prepare to embrace a whole new chapter of the Star Wars legacy with this December’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens, let’s take a look and see how Star Wars has changed movies – and pop culture – permanently. ›››

Top Xbox boss Phil Spencer has spoken out to clear up confusion regarding the exclusivity status of upcoming adventure game Rise of the Tomb Raider. On Facebook, Xbox Australia updated a post from January 2015 to say that Rise of the Tomb Raider is no longer a timed exclusive, but a full exclusive.
“Not timed exclusive but exclusive,” the message reads.

But that doesn’t seem to be exactly accurate. Asked on Twitter about this very message, Spencer said nothing has changed since he revealed last summer that Rise of the Tomb Raider was only a timed exclusive for Xbox.
“There has been no change to our deal on Tomb Raider,” he said. “Same as before when I answered. Timed.” In another tweet, he said, “We are working with Crystal Dynamics on Tomb Raider to make it great on Xbox this Holiday; that’s our goal and 100 percent of our focus.”
Rise of the Tomb Raider was announced as an “Xbox exclusive” for holiday 2015 during Gamescom last summer. Spencer later clarified, however, that the exclusivity deal with Square Enix was for a certain period of time, not permanently. That leaves open the possibility that Rise of the Tomb Raider could come to PlayStation 4 or PC sometime down the road, though this has not been confirmed.
Microsoft will be heavily involved in the forthcoming release of Rise of the Tomb Raider this year for Xbox One and Xbox 360, as the company will publish Rise of the Tomb Raider and handle marketing and distribution. No release date for the game has been announced, but we expect Microsoft to talk more about the title during its E3 2015 briefing next month.
Rise of the Tomb Raider is a direct sequel to 2013’s Tomb Raider reboot. That game has now sold more than 8.5 million copies, making it the best-selling Tomb Raider game of all time.

The PC version of the Xbox One murder-mystery game D4: Dark Dreams Don’t Die finally has a release date. The Windows edition will arrive on June 5 for $15, while a variety of downloadable content (see below) will also be available for purchase. Developer Access Games (Deadly Premonition) also said a free demo version would be available soon, though no further details were provided.

D4 will be available on Steam, GOG, the Humble Store, and Playism.
Although D4 is expanding onto a new platform with PC, the game is never coming to PlayStation 4, presumably due to an agreement with Microsoft, which published the Xbox One version.
For lots more on the PC version of D4, including its system requirements and its many changes from the Xbox One edition, check out GameSpot’s previous coverage.
