J.K. Rowling Felt ‘Quite Sentimental’ Going Back to Hogwarts in New Teaser Feature

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

The sequel to the first Fantastic Beasts film will be set among more of the iconic places from the Harry Potter world than were in the first film – including Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. To celebrate heading Back to Hogwarts, Warner Bros. has released a behind-the-scenes teaser video with commentary from the stars of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.

"I loved going back to Hogwarts. Of course, I did," creator and screenwriter J.K. Rowling said. "It looks very familiar to anyone who saw the Potter movies. But, obviously, the teaching staff are different."

"Those names, the stories, the histories, that sit in the back of our mind from the Potter series begin to weave their way into Beasts," Eddie Redmayne said.

How Adventure Time Inspired a New Generation of Creators

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Adventure Time is embarking on its final quest on September 3, with the fate of Candy Kingdom hanging in the balance.

To commemorate Jake and Finn's fantastical journey, IGN has an exclusive clip from the upcoming Adventure Time: The Final Seasons DVD, which goes on sale September 4 and includes every episode from Seasons 8, 9 and 10 in addition to a behind-the-scenes featurette, animatics and song demos from the last run of episodes.

Looking back at the legacy of Adventure Time, it's impressive to realize how many of the artists, writers and producers who worked on the series went on to create their own shows because of the lessons they learned in the Land of Ooo. In the exclusive video below, Summer Camp Island creator Julia Pott, Steven Universe creator Rebecca Sugar, and OK KO! Let's Be Heroes creator Ian Jones-Quarty and co-EP Toby Jones reminisce about the impact the series had on them along with executive producer Adam Muto and voice artist Ashly Burch.

After building a theme park at Gamescom 2018, Epic Games' Fortnite has opted for a bit of sport for its PAX West 2018 showing - namely, a tough, detailed mini-golf course.

IGN's intrepid golfers hit the Lazy links at PAX for nine holes of Fortnite-inspired mini-golf. Check out dozens of photos of the golf course below to see the tricky shots we had to make to keep somewhat around par.

The Top 10 Movies at the Summer 2018 Domestic Box Office

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

With Labor Day upon us and summer coming to a close, let's look back at how Hollywood fared at the North American box office this past season. Disney had four of the Top 10 movies released at the domestic box office this summer, with Avengers: Infinity War leading the pack with $678.7 million.

It's been a matter of debate, however, whether Infinity War even counts as a summer movie since Disney bumped its release from May 4th to April 27th. In the past, a film released on the last weekend in April was a spring release, but Hollywood continues to blur the lines between actual seasons and "movie" seasons. If we were being strict about the actual definition of "summer" then only movies released between June 21 and September 22, 2018, would count as summer movies. But Hollywood doesn't do that. And since IGN included Infinity War in its summer movie preview, we're going to keep it defined as one for the purposes of this box office wrap-up.

One of Dota’s Weirdest Heroes Is Becoming One of Artifacts Craziest Cards

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Not all existing Dota 2 heroes are guaranteed to make it into Valve’s next game, Artifact, but this crafty Geomancer, Meepo, is confirmed to get a card counterpart, and IGN has the first details on his cards.

In Artifact, almost every known hero card has either a passive or active ability and a signature spell card. Meepo is unique in that his card has both an active and a passive. His active ability, Poof, allows Meepo to move to an allied Meepos lane and deal 2 damage to his new enemy neighbors. His passive or “continuous effect” ability, United We Fall, requires that if Meepo dies, allied Meepos in other lanes die too.

Like in Dota 2, Meepo’s signature spell allows him to summon another Meepo. You can see the spell card and the art for other Meepo in the slideshow below. Each hero comes with three copies of their signature spell card, so there’s potential to have four Meepos across the board at once.

How Valve Won’t Let Artifact’s Marketplace Get Crazy Expensive

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Artifact, the next game from Half-Life developer Valve, is decidedly bucking digital card game trends. Not only is it not free-to-play, it’s not going to have any kind of free in-game currency to spend on cards -- a decision Valve tells me is to avoid the grind that can make other CCGs feel like a job instead of a game.

“At its core, we want you to play the game because you enjoy playing the game,” programmer Brandon Reinhart told me when I visited Valve last week. They don’t want you to feel obligated to do daily quests just so you have enough gold to get a pack that might have the card you want. They want you to just play the game.

So instead of the usual digital model, Artifact is following a physical one like that of Magic: The Gathering -- whose creator, Richard Garfield, is also the lead designer of Artifact. It will have a $20 price tag that gets you two full decks and 10 card packs, and all card packs after that cost $2 each.

Valve Is 'Very Aware of All the Jokes' People Make

It’s hard to go long on the internet without running into a ‘Half-Life 3 confirmed’ joke, the eternal meme as we collectively wait for the third installment of Valve’s legendary FPS series to materialize. And speaking to the development team of Valve’s next game, Artifact, at their office in Seattle last week, Valve clearly hasn’t missed those jokes either.

“I think we're very aware of all the jokes because all of us lurk all the forums and share them around with each other,” says Jeep Barnett, a programmer on Artifact and a member of the original team that made Narbacular Drop, who were all hired to create Portal as a result.

Why Torchlight Frontiers Is My Most Anticipated ARPG Since Diablo 2

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Immediately upon playing Torchlight Frontiers, I was presented with a choice between the two currently playable classes: the Dusk Mage and Forged. The former is a powerful magic user charged with wielding both the immense powers of dark and light in perpetual harmony. The latter is a robot. I chose the robot.

I felt an immediate sense of adoration for my sputtering little steampunk monstrosity, who looked inescapably like Maurice's cast iron furnace contraption from Beauty and the Beast. As Echtra Games CEO Max Schaefer explained, my little automaton wouldn't simply equip gear but would instead integrate it into his body. If I equipped a rare pair of leggings, for example, they might change my four spider-like robot-legs into two sturdy tank treads.

Survivor of Jacksonville Shooting Sues EA and Venue

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

One of the survivors of the Jacksonville shooting has officially filed a lawsuit against EA, the venue the tournament took place, and six other potentially liable parties.

The survivor, Jacob Mitich, competed in the tournament and sustained injuries after being shot twice. The lawsuit in question (via The Hollywood Reporter) claims the various parties are liable due to negligence in not providing sufficient security, and for hosting the tournament at an unsuitable venue in the first place.

The lawsuit points at The Landing marketplace, which houses the GLHF Game Bar where the shooting took place, and identifies it as a “hub of dangerous, violent and too often, deadly activity.” It further points to recent violence in the area, including a hit-and-run murder, a stabbing and a double shooting, ultimately questioning EA’s decision in holding the event in this location.

Netflix's Sabrina Series Will Pay Homage to The Exorcist

Netflix's upcoming Chilling Adventures of Sabrina series will pay homage to horror classic The Exorcist.

Per EW, showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa revealed each episode will serve as its own mini-movie, with one being heavily inspired by The Exorcist.

“Sabrina is the heroine in this series of mini-movies," Aguirre-Sacasa said. “I love The Exorcist. It’s one of my favorite movies. We’re doing an homage to that; we’re doing an episode that’s like

Rick and Morty's Soundtrack is the Best Looking in Any Universe

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Rick and Morty's soundtrack is pretty much the most awesome thing in any universe already, so it stands to reason that the packaging for the long-awaited vinyl release is every bit as epic as our heroes deserve.

IGN can exclusively reveal the covers for the deluxe vinyl and standard LP release of the Rick and Morty soundtrack. The standard LP, CD and digital version of the soundtrack will debut on September 28, with the special deluxe edition dropping on November 23.

While the standard LP is pretty rad (it's described as a "Loser Edition 2xLP pressed on Blue & Green-colored vinyl featuring two single-pocket LP jackets housed together in a custom die-cut slipcase"), the deluxe version "includes the album on double-LP pressed on an exclusive 'Portal' colored vinyl along with a custom poster, a patch, a sticker, and a bonus 7” single (featuring an extended mix of the screaming sun from the 2nd season finale, pressed on clear vinyl). All of this comes housed in an attractive, borderline extravagant box featuring a plexiglass window cover which reveals a glowing design when lit by its integrated LED lights."

How Deep Space Nine Changed Star Trek for the Better

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

When Star Trek: Deep Space Nine first aired a quarter of a century ago this year, it immediately earned the mantle of being the “odd one out” when it came to Star Trek shows. It’s easy to understand why: It was the first Trek not created by Gene Roddenberry, nor did it follow the voyages of the Starship Enterprise which the previous two iterations had. Indeed, it bucked the whole basic Trek premise of “boldly going where no one has gone before” in that it was set on a space station rather than a starship. No one would have been surprised if Deep Space Nine had failed.

And while it’s true that it never reached the ratings highs of The Next Generation, DS9 proved popular amongst fans and critics alike, with numerous pundits citing it as the best Star Trek series outright. It’s fair to say that Deep Space Nine has aged very well compared to some of the other Trek offerings, largely because the themes it explored, and its method of storytelling, were both ahead of its time. As good as The Next Generation became, and as ground-breaking as The Original Series was, for many fans Deep Space Nine is the pinnacle of Trek storytelling. Here’s why.

No Man's Sky Launches Its First Community Event

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Hello Games has announced the first in a series of No Man's Sky community events, which will centre around returning character Specialist Polo's discovery of "another iteration of the universe" and task players with helping them learn more about this "glitch in reality".

The news was announced in a blog post, with studio boss Sean Murray clarifying that the community events will be open to all explorers who have completed the first Space Anomaly mission, with Specialist Polo contacting these players directly to ask for assistance.

This week's event has been referred to as "the first chapter" of an ongoing research project and tasks players with visiting "a specific corner of the galaxy" (although no details of where that is are given in the post) to excavate and return a selection of "strange objects" which have begun spawning underground. Returning these objects will reward players with Quicksilver, a valuable resource that can be used to create a variety of exclusive exotic collectables.

Bootham Crescent

Bootham Crescent.
Bootham Crescent is a sports stadium, the home of the association football club York City and rugby league club York City Knights, in York, North Yorkshire, England. The ground opened on 31 August 1932 with a capacity of 8,256. Improvements added in the early 1980s include a gymnasium, a lounge for officials, and offices. Bootham Crescent hosted football in the Football League from 1932 to 2004 and from 2012 to 2016. It includes four stands: the Main Stand, the Popular Stand, the Grosvenor Road End and the David Longhurst Stand, named after a player who died at the ground in 1990. The ground has hosted a concert, a grand firework display, beer festivals, and American football and rugby league matches. The record attendance of 28,123 was set in March 1938, for an FA Cup match against Huddersfield Town. The teams are expected to move to a community stadium at Monks Cross in Huntington in mid-2019, and the Bootham Crescent site will then be used for housing.

Rod Serling's Planet of the Apes Movie That Could’ve Been

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Just about everyone recognizes the iconic, twist ending to the original Planet of the Apes movie -- Charlton Heston shouting at a ruined Statue of Liberty, and by extension, at humanity itself, which he’s finally realized has been lost to the ages and its own penchant for self-destruction. And most fans know that ending was at least in part the work of legendary Twilight Zone creator Rod Serling, a master of the gut-punch twist if ever there was one, and the original writer on the Apes movie.

During the film’s gestation, Serling scripted several drafts of Planet of the Apes, adapting the Pierre Boulle novel, though eventually screenwriter Michael Wilson came in to bring his own spin to the material. But in the 50 years since the film’s release, fans have often wondered how much of Serling’s work remained in the final product. Now, thanks to BOOM! Studios’ Planet of the Apes: Visionaries graphic novel, we have a pretty good idea.

We know that Netflix has at least ten more episodes of Disenchantment in the pipeline. If the series is ever going to live up to its potential, we think there's room for a few improvements. Read on for what we think needs changing to make Disenchantment truly enchanting.

Bioware Says Anthem Is a 'Continued Evolution' from Its Past RPGs

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Anthem's Game Director, Jon Warner said that despite what fans have speculated about Anthem being a departure from past BioWare games, the upcoming game is actually an evolution of their craft.

Speaking with GamesIndustry.biz, Warner called Anthem an "amalgamation" of everything BioWare has done to date. An MMO looter shooter seems on the surface to be a change of course from the single-player RPGs BioWare is beloved for, but Warner insisted the changes are evolutionary.

"If you look at BioWare games on a spectrum, from Baldur's Gate to Neverwinter, and Jade Empire to Knights of the Old Republic, to Mass Effect and Dragon Age," Warner said, "you'll see that the games have always been about evolving our technique and storytelling... so the way that we look at it, Anthem is not a departure, it's the continued evolution of our craft and our technique."

Marvel's Spider-Man Fans Are Arguing About Puddle Sizes

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Some gamers who were looking forward to Spider-Man's release next week are claiming Insomniac Games has downgraded Spider-Man's visuals, leading to smaller puddles and several other perceived problems.

A Reddit post from Thursday morning by Ghulam_Jewel compares Spider-Man E3 and release screenshots, and is nearing 7,000 upvotes and 1,000 comments. Redditors are arguing over whether or not the textures look worse in the release versions – but one thing everyone agrees on is that what once was a giant puddle is now a smaller puddle.

Whether or not consumers will let this lead to a buying decision is unknown. While some fans have made jokes that it would be a silly reason to not buy Marvel's Spider-Man, others are sticking to their guns and letting Insomniac hear about it on Twitter.

Membership Reward Programs to Help You Save on Video Games

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Membership reward programs are one of the best ways to save on games across the board. The savings for preorders might be diminished, but depending on how often you buy games, a membership or loyalty-rewards program might be able to close the preorder-savings gap, especially if you buy a lot of games and other qualifying products that accrue points. The bummer is you have to spend money to save money with rewards programs. But if you're buying lots of games anyway, you might as well take advantage of any extra offers retailers might have.

First Best Buy stopped taking new sign-ups for its incredibly generous Gamers Club Unlocked service, then Amazon announced it, too, was ending its generous discount on preorder games. But that doesn't mean there aren't still ways to save on your games, it just means they aren't nearly as cut-and-dry.

Battlefield 5 Delayed By a Month

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

EA has announced that Battlefield 5 - originally due for release October 19 - has had its release date pushed back a month, and will now release November 20.

The news comes from Oskar Gabrielson, General Manager of developer DICE, in a blog post on EA's website. He seems to point to player feedback as being the primary reason behind the delay, thanking the "tens of thousands" of players who have played both during closed alphas or in demo booths at events such as E3 and Gamescom, and highlights some positive feedback around weapons handling and player movement.

It seems that core gameplay is the sticking point, with Gabrielson pointing in particular to "gameplay tempo", as well as "soldier visibility" and "player friction". While he doesn't go into any details around the specifics of the feedback, he does state that players will see improvements in these areas in the game's upcoming open beta, which kicks off September 6 (or September 4 for pre-orders or members of Origin Access Premier, Origin Access Basic or EA Access).

U.S. Route 45 in Michigan

U.S. Route 45 in Michigan.
In Michigan, US Highway 45 (US 45) runs through the Upper Peninsula, from the Wisconsin border near Watersmeet north to Ontonagon. US 45 extends south from Michigan to Mobile, Alabama, on the Gulf Coast. The Michigan segment, part of the state trunkline highway system maintained by the Michigan Department of Transportation, runs for approximately 55 miles (89 km) through the Ottawa National Forest, parallel to the Ontonagon River. In the 1930s, when the highway was extended into Michigan, it replaced sections of M-26 and M-35. An 8-mile (13 km) segment was significantly reconstructed in the late 1950s, and an alignment change in the 1970s moved the routing of US 45 near Rockland before it was reversed soon afterwards. A segment of roadway that formerly carried US 45 is the site of the Paulding Light, an intermittent reflection whose origins were scientifically described in 2010.

League of Legends developer Riot Games has issued an apology in response to workplace allegations of gender discrimination and sexual harassment from an investigative report released by Kotaku earlier this month.

Riot Games statement, titled Our First Steps Forward, marks the company's commitment to change toxic workplace habits that have been vocalized by past and current employees.

"For the past three weeks, we’ve been focused on listening and learning. As a company, we’re used to patching problems ASAP, but this patch will not happen overnight. We will weave this change into our cultural DNA and leave no room for sexism or misogyny. Inclusivity, diversity, respect, and equality are all non-negotiable. While there is much to improve, there is a tremendous amount of good at Riot that will drive this change. This is our top priority until we get it right."

How Dragon Quest's Creator Invented JRPGs

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

I think most of us have an informal mental list of people we wish they could meet, and I think that’s especially true in the entertainment and game industries. I’ll often hear Shigeru Miyamoto and Hideo Kojima batted around in newsroom conversations, but for me, there’s no higher name in my pantheon of hero worship than Yuji Horii. And now here I am in an upstairs room at Anime Expo in Los Angeles, sitting across the table from him.

I’ve told friends that the course of my professional life has been equally defined by my childhood encounters with Jesus and video games, and I don’t think that’s a bit of an exaggeration. As a former clergyman and current video game commentator, I’ve divided my adulthood between metaphysics and pixels, and both have proven worthwhile pursuits. One thing both fields hold in common, and perhaps the tie that most binds them in me, is that they are both intrinsically rooted in stories of trying, failing, trying again, learning, exploring, growing, and finally overcoming. They are stories of second chances and becoming better people.

Scarlet Finds a Great New Home at DC

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

While not Brian Bendis' first creator-owned title at DC, Scarlet #1 brings with it a unique set of challenges. Bendis and artist Alex Maleev have to craft a first issue that serves as a clean and easy gateway for those who didn't read the previous two volumes. But at the same time, they have to ensure that veteran readers are being given a satisfying dose of story after waiting several years for Scarlet to make its return. Fortunately, Scarlet #1 strikes that delicate balance, continuing Bendis' strong track record at DC this year.

Bendis and Maleev certainly picked an auspicious time to resurrect this series, given what's happened in the world at large and Portland in particular since the previous volume wrapped. Suffice it to say, the idea of Portland becoming ground zero in a new American Revolution fueled by social media seems far less outlandish than it did even a few short years ago. This issue opens with Portland cut off from the rest of the US and completely under the control of Scarlet's grassroots army. Maleev paints a chilling portrait of a city under siege. It's easy to forget this book is taking place in the US and not a war-ravaged country like Syria. But that's always been part of this series' appeal. It feels uncomfortably real in the same way comics like DMZ do.
