This article contains major Dune spoilers, for both the page and screen. Denis Villeneuve first daydreamed of making the definitive adaptation of Frank Herbert’s Dune when he was 14-years-old. He’s said as much when he confided to Den of Geek that “the bible is the book…. I want people who love the book to feel like we put a camera in their minds.” Yet even so, books are books, and films are films, and changes must be made when transitioning between the two mediums....

There’s no denying that 3D technology is becoming increasingly present in everyone’s daily lives. Whether you’re at the cinema for a summer blockbuster, at the store surrounded by new 3D televisions, or sitting down to play a game, there’s no escaping the grasp of 3D. Due to the high price point of the technology though, outside of movie theaters, the barrier has proved discouraging for many prospective consumers. EA recognizes the challenge and plans to adapt accordingly....

Gamers have witnessed some genuinely terrifying moments over the years between Visceral Games’ Dead Space and Dead Space 2. We’d be more than happy to go in-depth, flesh a few out, but we also want to preserve the metaphorical eyeballs of anyone who hasn’t yet stepped behind the metallic mask of Isaac Clarke. Because of its deep horror roots, however, it wouldn’t be wrong for fans of the series to expect something equally M-rated in Dead Space 3....

Although reports never confirmed the fact, it was believed that publishers like Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, and Activision had influenced Microsoft’s decision to provisionally block used games on the Xbox One. There was very little truth to the rumors at the time, but after Electronic Arts announced they were discontinuing the Online Pass, the rumors started to become more believable. Then came yesterday’s announcement, which saw Microsoft pulling a complete 180 on their used games policy....

After the mixed reception given to Nintendo’s Wii U at E3, it is hard to imagine why either Sony or Microsoft would feel the need to rush the follow-ups to their current tech. The appearance of an Xbox 720 is rumored be as early as E3 2012. Bethesda assures gamers that it will be at least 2014 before either the PS4 or Xbox 720 consoles arrive. Now EA is weighing in, and they want to let both the consumers and producers know that they have plenty more in store for this generation of consoles....

Singer Grimes and Entrepreneur and Tesla Founder Elon Musk have welcomed their first child into the world. However, as is typically the case with Musk, there is a lot of discussion around the baby’s name. Specifically, no one knows how to pronounce the baby’s name or what it means. Grimes and Musk welcomed their son on May 4th and later revealed that his name is X Æ A-12. Some initially took this to be one of Musk’s usual jokes, but neither Grimes nor the Tesla founder have said otherwise....

It has been six months since the Epic Games’ lawsuit against Apple started, but it has now reached an unexpected halt in one part of the world. The legal battle started after Fortnite was taken off the App Store for having in-game purchases but not sharing a percentage of the profit with Apple. Epic sued Apple in the United States and filed an antitrust complaint in the UK, but it was just ruled that the latter will not move forward....

We’ve received tons of insider news thanks to the ongoing Apple vs. Epic lawsuit. A number of documents with otherwise unknown information have surfaced during the trial process, and this latest one may be one of the biggest. It seems that Epic Games was trying to secure PlayStation exclusives for the Epic Games Store. As pointed out by PC Gamer, this latest document details a proposal that would see Sony’s first-party games, that are only available on PlayStation consoles, eventually make their way to the Epic Games Store for PC....

While modding is one of the most appealing parts of the gigantic The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, one addition takes modder Galandil three years to finish. Although The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim released nearly five years ago, the mod community built around Bethesda’s epic fantasy game has only grown stronger over that period of time. The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is the kind of game that prides itself on offering its players not just an incredibly long and fulfilling plethora of baseline content, but the opportunity for fans to customize their adventures within the world of Tamriel....

Weapon Traits in Returnal can make the difference between life and death, or whether or not you want to keep the weapon or swap it out for something else the moment one presents itself. With Weapon Traits, players can have a chance to gain health back with each successful shot, send out a devastating wave projectile in addition to the regular shots, and many other enticing possibilities. Traits are random with each new weapon you stumble upon....

This article contains Everything Everywhere All at Once spoilers. Everything Everywhere All at Once is a film that fires several ideas at you a minute. Some of them are profound; some of them are surreal; some of them are outright ridiculous; and some of them are all three of those things, existing in a nebulous five-dimensional space. One of those ideas, resting at the very heart of the movie, is the Everything Bagel....

Modiphius and Free League Publishing have published two new products for the open-world survival RPG Forbidden Lands: The Bitter Reach sourcebook, and The Bitter Reach Map and Card Deck. Both products have been added to the Forbidden Lands Collection at Modiphius.net in print and PDF form. The Forbidden Lands is not a typical fantasy RPG, according to Modiphius. In Forbidden Lands, PCs don’t always get the tasks handed to them by quest-giving NPCs, and they are not really considered ‘heroes’....

Formula 1, considered by many to be the pinnacle of racing, is a highly competitive, blisteringly fast sport. But, like many things in 2020, F1 could not speed away from COVID-19 and its regular schedule of races suffered through cancellation and postponements. This gave the drivers of F1 a chance to dabble in the esports scene, with virtual races taking place between actual F1 drivers, and F1 esports competitors. One F1 driver is looking to continue their involvement in esports going forward, forming a new team of esports racers....

Roughly a month ago, fans of Fall Guys began speculating that the popular battle royale title was going to be crossing over with the ever popular Doom franchise. It seems that wasn’t a baseless assumption as publisher Devolver Digital has revealed the skin to be true. In a new trailer released this morning, it has been confirmed that The Slayer will be entering the arena very soon along with a few “friends....

One Fallout 4 fan creates a mod for Bethesda’s post-apocalyptic RPG that stops Preston Garvey’s requests for giving aid to settlements once and for all. For those Fallout 4 PC players who absolutely can’t stomach one more of Preston Garvey’s seemingly endless barrage of appeals to take part in a quest to defend yet another settlement, modder and YouTuber shad0wshayd3 has the solution. Calling it “Disable Minuteman Radiant Quests,” the in-game alteration basically does what the title describes....

Arguably the most ambitious title in the long-running franchise, Fallout 76 is taking the traditionally single-player experience online by adding in multiplayer. Naturally, this is also a big change of pace for Bethesda, which is a company that is traditionally thought of as a single player, story-driven developer. With all these new mechanics at work, a beta test was announced alongside the game, largely to ensure that Bethesda’s first true online, open world title can meet fan expectations....

As many Fallout fans will likely attest, being over-encumbered can often become one of the most irksome gameplay mechanics in the series, for when players hit their item carrying capacity, any movement thereafter slows almost to a snail’s pace. With this being the case, it seems as if Bethesda has decided to do some experimenting with the feature, by changing how becoming over-encumbered works in the franchise’s forthcoming multiplayer title, Fallout 76....

As many gamers who have taken part in Fallout 76’s beta period have already attested, the trial run for Bethesda Game Studios’ forthcoming online-only multiplayer title has encountered its fair share of technical problems, which has led to the company promising fans it has plans to fix “several issues”. However, it appears as if all of the bugs currently in the game won’t be fixed before its launch next week....

Bandai Namco’s Dragon Ball FighterZ is considered one of the best fighting games in recent years, and is further lauded for its high-quality art and attention to detail regarding the long-running anime series. In June, Dragon Ball FighterZ hit five million units sold, and one fan is wondering whether this might be enough encouragement for Bandai Namco to create a similar title for fan-favorite anime Naruto. YouTuber and web comic creator Swagkage posted their mockup of a fighting game character select screen with representatives from Naruto, Naruto: Shippuden, and Boruto to Twitter on August 6, and then followed that up with a potential DLC lineup on August 7....

Destiny: Rise of Iron kicks off another new week of content for players with the weekly playlist reset and here is everything that you’ll need to know for December 6.
