Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 has received a new trailer to whet your appetite for the impending open beta early next month. Well, any excuse for a developer to knock up a trailer these days, eh? To be fair, the open beta is shaping up pretty well. Players will be able to sample three main missions, two of which were previously available in the closed beta.

Mad Max: Fury Road director, George Miller, was once set to helm a Justice League movie nearly a decade ago. The project was known as Justice League: Mortal and it was far more than an unproduced script. A full cast was in place, sets and costumes were in production from Weta Workshop, and filming was all set to begin in Australia before things got…complicated. It’s a shame, too. Based on the script I read, Justice League: Mortal would have been a fairly impressive, very recognizable representation of DC’s flagship super team....

Longtime Madden NFL fans are well-aware of what is known as the Madden Cover Curse, and it appears to have struck again: current Madden NFL 20 cover athlete Patrick Mahomes just went down with a gruesome-looking knee injury. During last night’s 30-6 win over the Broncos, Mahomes suffered a patella dislocation, with trainers having to pop his knee back into place on the field before helping him off of it. An MRI performed today will help determine if he tore any ligaments in his knee, which would greatly extend his time on the sidelines....

David Acord, a veteran sound editor who recently earned an Oscar nomination – his second overall – for his work on Sequel Trilogy closer Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, recently appeared on THR’s “Behind the Screen” podcast, on which he explains the surprising creative direction that both he and series creator Jon Favreau explored to create Baby Yoda’s voice before ultimately conjuring the auditory pièce de résistance that helped make the character the meme-spawning global pop culture phenomenon we now know....

Everything starts somewhere, and when the games industry began to form in the UK, back in the ’80s, Gary Penn - my guest on the One-to-one podcast today - was there. A young adult passionate about games, he was propelled to micro-stardom, as he puts it, when he won a competition to find Britain’s best gamer and ended up writing for Zzap!64 magazine. It was a magazine that changed the face of games journalism, injecting passion and charisma into it....

Most companies just commission or create an FMV cinematic and call it a day, but the ones who put the work in to really blow us away with their reveals are the ones who tend to stand the test of time.

It has been eight years since you road through the wild west as John Marston in the original Red Dead Redemption. If you have been counting the days since the second installment has been announced to the eventual release day, we don’t blame you.

While the first game focused on the story of one cowboy, Red Dead Redemption 2 focuses more on a collective group of individuals living in this point and time....
