We also unpack Sony's Q2 FY2025 earnings, revealing PS5 sales have now surpassed 84 million units, with 119 million active users. Sony claims the PS5 is only “midway through its lifecycle,” refusing to comment on PS6 rumors — though new reports point to a 2027 hybrid console with Switch-style docking.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesThough Disney and Marvel Studios have remained tight-lipped and cagey concerning details around the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, the Internet, and a few reputable trades, have collectively discerned that we apparently “know when the Avengers: Doomsday trailer is coming.” The prognosticators have deytermined the trailer will be attached to December's Avatar: Fire & Ash – big news, if true! Another unconfirmed, but believable rumor that has taken the Internet by storm concerns Marvel TV's Wonder Man series and its episode run times, which places the longest episode at 34 minutes and the shortest at 23 including credits. Per The Hollywood Reporter, DC Studios has greenlit a Superman spinoff series focusing on standout Skyler Gisondo's Jimmy Olsen and coming to us from Dan Perrault and Tony Yacenda, the creators of Netflix's award-winning mockumentary American Vandal. The series is said to focus on Olsen and other Daily Planet reporters, (though Lois Lane and Clark Kent were conspicuously excluded,) as he tackles cases involving superpowered villains, with Season One featuring Flash rogue Gorilla Grodd as a big bad. Predator Badlands was the apex, ahem, predator at the box office last weekend debuting to $40 million domestically and doubling the haul internationally at $80 million worldwide. The film outperformed expectations, representing a much-needed shot of adrenaline in what has been a lethargic Fall box office, while also putting up bests for the franchise; beating out 2004's Alien Vs Predator and 2018's The Predator in the domestic and global arenas, respectively.Blue Beetle and Cobra Kai star Xolo Maridueña has been cast in season 3 of Netflix's One Piece and will play the character Portgas D. Ace.Jennifer Lawrence recently revealed that she and Emma Stone are developing a movie about the iconic Muppet Miss Piggy with Oh, Mary! writer and Tony winner Cole Escola penning the script, marking the character's first solo outing siynce Jim Henson debuted her on The Muppet Show in 1976.Netflix and Sony have finalized a deal for another “KPop Demon Hunters” movie, with plans to release the animated musical sequel in 2029.Lionsgate has released the first trailer for Michael Jackson biopic 'Michael' starring Jaafar Jackson, the nephew of the late pop icon.

The second season comes back to Prime ten years after the first season debuted. Warner Brothers has set a release date for the next film in The Gremlins franchise of November 19th 2027. Steven Spielberg is returning to executive produce “Gremlins 3” while “Harry Potter” filmmaker Chris Columbus is set to direct and produce. Disney has released the first official trailer for season 2 of Percy Jackson and The Olympians, which begins streaming on December 10th. In gaming news, Skydance Games is once again pushing the release for the much-anticipated “Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra” video game from May 2026 to November 2026. Rockstar Games also announced that they would be delaying Grand Theft Auto 6 once again, this time from May 2026 to November 2026 as well. Ryan Reynolds and Amazon MGM have teamed up to develop a remake of Thunderbolt & Lightfoot, a 1974 action comedy that starred Clint Eastwood and Jeff Bridges. Reynolds is eyeing to star in the adaptation and is also collaborating on the script with writers Enzo Mileti and Scott Wilson, a writing team who worked on season four of comedic crime show Fargo. Shane Reid, who edited Reynolds' Deadpool & Wolverine, will make his directorial debut with the project.

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast the whole gang is together once again to talk the GTA VI delay, Rockstar layoffs and the eventual protests it created at their Scotland studio. We also get into The Elder Scrolls 6 announcement back in 2018 and think maybe it was a little too soon to reveal and plenty of other stuff along the way! You know us, we love a tangent.

In this episode I talk Arc Raiders, Where Winds Meet. Plus GTA6 is delayed again. What else is Rockstar hiding behind the scenes. Stay tuned as we get into it, also the AAA gaming industry is going through some hard times.
The gaming world felt the tremor of resolution this week as Epic Games and Google settled their landmark Android lawsuit, concluding a five-year legal battle over mobile app store practices. Meanwhile, the digital landscape received a blast from the past: Springfield's finest, The Simpsons, have descended upon Fortnite in a huge crossover event, turning the battle royale map into a delightfully absurd animated town. In hardware news, Nintendo's Switch 2 is cementing its place in history, reportedly having sold an astronomical 11 million units since its June debut, outpacing the PlayStation 5's launch success. Not all news was celebratory, however, as Rockstar Games disputed allegations that staff firings were linked to union activity, bringing the contentious issue of workers' rights back into sharp focus. Finally, while Arc Raiders climbs to the top of the OpenCritic charts as the highest-rated multiplayer shooter, fans are finding solace in the unexpected return of therapeutic gameplay with the release of PowerWash Simulator 2. Hear Gary, Jerome, and Taylor dive into these headlines, plus their personal picks including Hades 2 and the board game The Old Kings Crown, on the latest GameBurst Podcast.

In today's Daily Fix:The co-founder and former lead writer for Rockstar Games had to explain why Grand Theft Auto will probably never be set in another country besides America (not counting that one PS1 expansion that was set in London). And it's probably for the reasons you can already think of: lots of guns, and American society is already pretty ridiculous on its own. In other news, Mike Pondsmith, creator of the Cyberpunk roleplaying game, knows how to get Johnny Silverhand back into Cyberpunk 2, he just needs Keanu Reeves to hit him up if Reeves wants to be in the new game. And finally, the formerly Xbox exclusive S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is not only debuting on PlayStation soon, but it's leaving Game Pass, frustrating Xbox players who not only are paying more for the service, but now there's one less Triple-A game to play.

George has moved on, we need to accept that, elsewhere in a Galaxy Far Far Away Ben Solo is staying dead. Warner Bros has finally accepted its time to sell, after saying no to unwanted solicitors, Amazon paid pennies for James Bond. Xbox is sticking with the high prices, ಠ_ಠ, and more drama out of Ubisoft and Assassin's Creed. That and more on tonight's episode.
Hvad betyder det for spilindustrien, hvis GTA 6 kommer til at koste $100? Med dansk moms vil det betyde, at Rockstar Games' kommende Grand Theft Auto 6 kommer til at koste over 800 danske kroner bare for standardudgaven. Bør GTA 6 i virkeligheden koste endnu mere end 800 kr.? Hvad betyder det for industrien, hvis priserne hæves hertil? Det snakker vi om senere i episoden.Vi taler også om, at Xbox måske allerede er ved at sige endeligt farvel til Xbox Series X og S. De har nemlig lige hævet priserne på developer kits. Altså er det blevet dyrere for udviklere at lave spil til deres konsol. Hvad pokker er Xbox' plan overhovedet? Det har vi et ret godt bud på, som du kan høre senere i episoden.Og så er budgetterne for Pokémon-spillene lækket, og de tal er ikke som man skulle tro.I denne episode diskuterer vi blandt andet:- Fortjener GTA 6 at koste $100?- Spilsalget er krakeleret: Spillere køber kun et par nye spil om året- Rygte: Halo-studiet er storforbruger af generativ AI- God of War-producer: AAA-studier skal turde satse på mindre spil- Xbox-præsident bekræfter (igen), at der arbejdes på en efterfølger til Xbox Series X|S- Tidligere Call of Duty-instruktør er nervøs for Xbox' fremtid- Budgetterne for Pokémon-spillene er lækket- Rygte: Nintendo planlægger at øge produktionen af Switch 2- Salgstallet for Battlefield 6 eksploderer- Tidligere Halo-udvikler skuffet over ikke at være krediteret i Battlefield 6- EA-salg møder modstand fra fagfolk og politikere- Helldivers 2-studiet arbejder på næste spil- Ghost of Yotei er PlayStations største succes siden Spider-Man 2- Starfield bliver tidligst annonceret til PlayStation i 2026- Escape From Tarkov er endelig på vej til konsol- Bethesda annoncerer årets Fallout Day- Silent Hill 2 Remake er seriens største hit- Resident Evil 0 får angiveligt et remake- Mind's Eye-boss anklager ansatte for sabotage- 007: First Light har muligvis fundet sin temasang- Sleeping Dogs-filmatiseringen er på vejOg meget, meget mere.I denne episode deltager Daniel Møgelhøj, Mikkel Juel Gregersen, Nicolaj Jyde og Morten Urup.Tusind tak, fordi du lytter med.
Čtvrtý díl série Wolfcastu „Vývoj her a peníze“ vrhá světlo na finanční pozadí vývoje hry Red Dead Redemption 2. Rockstar Games zaměstnali přes 2 000 lidí, na hře tým pracoval osm let a rozpočet stoupl až na půl miliardy dolarů. Nejen samotný vývoj, ale i marketing s billboardy, televizními spoty a masivními kampaněmi patřil k těm nejdražším vůbec, což nakonec vedlo k rekordním prodejům přes 61 milionů kopií a tržbám přesahujícím 1,5 miliardy dolarů.Upozorňujeme na reálné limity takto nákladných projektů – Rockstar od té doby nevydal žádnou novou hru. Díky srovnání s komunitně financovaným Star Citizen a legendou RollerCoaster Tycoon objevíte, jak se zásadně proměnilo měřítko i způsob výroby od indie scénáře až po blockbusterovou megaprojekci.Podívejte se na https://www.retronation.cz na skvělé výlety do herního retra!
This week on Toon'd In!, Jim Cummings welcomes the rugged, heartfelt, and unmistakably captivating Roger Clark! Best known as the voice and performance capture artist behind Arthur Morgan in Rockstar Games' epic Red Dead Redemption 2, Roger brings a rich blend of stagecraft, storytelling, and frontier grit to the booth—and now, to the podcast mic.In this thoughtful and wide-ranging episode, Roger shares the journey that led him from classical theater to becoming the voice of one of gaming's most iconic outlaws. He opens up about the emotional depth and physical demands of bringing Arthur to life, the years-long process behind Red Dead's cinematic storytelling, and how stepping into cowboy boots changed his life forever.Jim and Roger dive deep into the craft of performance capture, the magic of immersive storytelling, and the quiet power of characters who speak with more than just their words. Along the way, they swap tales from the booth, reflect on the evolving world of video game acting, and even wrangle a few laughs from the wild west of voiceover work.
One Battle After Another, is what I should rename this podcast, because the movie was that good, and a full review is inside. Plus Xbox takes another self imposed L, Sony gives itself a gold medal, and EA goes private. The Simpsons are headed back to the big screen, and an AI "actress" has Hollywood in a fervor. Plus Forza Horizon is finally headed to the land of the Rising Sun, and Ubisoft gives Assassin's Creed a new home.
In today's Daily Fix:Electronic Arts has announced plans to sell itself to a consortium of investors led by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, Silver Lake, and Affinity Partners (formed by President Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner). The deal is worth about $55 billion and will be the largest take-private investment in history. Once finalized, EA will no longer be listed on any stock exchange, and stockholders will receive $210 per share in cash. In other news, IGN spoke with Rockstar Games co-founder Dan houser at LA Comic-Con, and he confirmed he had nothing to do with GTA 6. Houser also explained why they never made Bully 2, among other topics discussed. Houser wrote almost every GTA game, including Red Dead Redemption 2, and left Rockstar in 2020. And finally, Fortnite is disabling a Peacemaker emote following the massive plot twist of the recent HBO Peacemaker episode.

Speaking to MinnMax, Ghost of Yōtei's co-creative director, Nate Fox, admitted that the delay was good news for his team.

We dive into LA Noire, Rockstar Games' often overlooked 2011 detective thriller that pioneered facial animation technology but struggled to become a true classic.• LA Noire was revolutionary for its MotionScan facial animation system, creating unprecedented realism for interrogation scenes• The game's "Truth, Doubt, Lie" system became iconic but often led to unexpectedly aggressive responses from protagonist Cole Phelps• Many cases were inspired by real 1940s Los Angeles crimes, showing Team Bondi's commitment to historical authenticity• While individual detective cases shine, the overarching narrative struggles with cohesion and too many competing storylines• The 1947 Los Angeles open world looks impressive but feels empty compared to other Rockstar titles• Combat and action sequences are merely serviceable, with the detective work being the game's true strength• The award-winning soundtrack perfectly captures the noir atmosphere and remains one of the game's highlights• Despite its flaws, LA Noire scored well with critics (89 on Metacritic) and deserves recognition for its ambitionInterested in watching us play games?
