Baldur’s Gate 3 is a big game that’s received plenty of free content post release, and yet the developer’s CEO was worried it would be too short.Anyone that’s played Baldur’s Gate 3 can quickly tell you that it is a beefy game. I constantly see posts go viral of some obscure scene with players that have put hundreds of hours into the game saying they’ve never seen that in all their playtime. And a year on from its full release, Larian Studios continues to add to it, even if they aren’t always massive additions of content. Yet as big as the game was when it launched without all of these updates, prior to its release, Larian CEO and game director Swen Vincke was worried that the game would end up being too short.Swen Vincke adores Ultima VII and reveals a juicy Baldur’s Gate 3 secret… | BA…

Much like Capcom starting its Resident Evil remakes with the second game, Konami has done the same with Silent Hill – but the question is, why?You would think that the logical way to remake a series is starting from the beginning, but when Konami finally revealed that the Silent Hill series was making a comeback, it did so by announcing a couple of new games, and of course, a remake of fan favourite Silent Hill 2 from Bloober Team. It’s that fan favourite point that is probably a big reason as to why it has received the remake treatment first, but in a recent interview with Rock Paper Shotgun, Bloober Team’s creative director Mateusz Lenart and lead producer Maciej Głomb offered some more in-depth reasons as to why it was that the second game is kicking off the Silent Hill reviv…

A report recently claimed that Sony might be moving Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse to 2027, but the series’ composer has set the record straight.Pardoning the pun there in that first line, yesterday industry insider Jeff Sneider shared in his (paywalled) column The Insneider that the third and final entry in the Spider-Verse trilogy, Beyond the Spider-Verse, which currently doesn’t have a release date is now being slated for 2027, and that most of the film has been scrapped for creative reasons. Beyond the Spider-Verse was originally slated for release on March 29, 2024, though was delayed in part due to the writer’s strike last year, but also because it sounded like it wouldn’t be ready production-wise anyway. A 2027 release would obviously be a three year long delay, and would mean …

Inside Out spin-off Dream Productions finally has a release date, but it’s also booted Pixar’s first original TV series to next year.Disney has had a very good year, and it’s mostly thanks to just how well Inside Out 2 has done.

Nosferatu received its first full trailer yesterday, and it looks like it might find some success in making vampires a bit scary again.Back in June, the first teaser trailer for The Lighthouse director Robert Eggers’ latest horror flick dropped, bringing back the classic movie monster Nosferatu. The trailer didn’t show us all that much, but it was an exciting look at what was to come, and now, Focus Features has released a full trailer for the film giving a much clearer look at what we can expect from the new take on an old vampire. Vampires have long had a bit of a romantic streak to them, especially since Twilight took a hold of everyone, but obviously they’re also supposed to be quite scary.

The Five Nights at Freddy’s movie sequel will apparently be “much bigger” and “scarier” which sounds like a recipe for your kid having nightmares again.Unless you are under the age of 13, I wouldn’t necessarily call the first Five Nights at Freddy’s movie particularly scary, but I will admit that there are a couple of scenes that would be a bit overwhelming for the younger viewer. However, in a recent interview with Esquire, the film’s lead actor Josh Hutcherson shared that the sequel is “much bigger; the stakes are higher.” He goes on a bit more to explain, “There’s more animatronics being brought in, different animatronics being brought in, and the world just opens up in a big way.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings “We’re finding the ba…

In case you were living underneath a rock with the insulindian phasmid, a whole bunch of new projects and studios that involve developers who worked on Disco Elysium and look like they could well appeal to people who liked Disco Elysium were announced last week. While they all look interesting, the last one that of these things that popped up like an outbusts from Harry Du Bois’ psyche might be the most looks like it might be the most Disco of them all – even coming with its own manifesto.Coming after the announcements from new indie studios Longdue and Dark Math Games, both of which feature some ex-DE devs working on things that look like they could fit the bill of being spiritual successors of sorts to Harry and Kim’s adventure, there’s another one. It’s called Summer Eternal.To see this…
