The “upcoming”Unchartedmovie, titledUncharted: Drake’s Fortune, hasn’t had the greatest pre-production experience in the world. David O. Russell (I Heart Huckabees,Three Kings)was originally set to directwith his buddyMark Wahlberg attached(the two had worked together on previous films), but dropped out in the middle of last year. Now,Neil Burger(Limitless,The Illusionist) is out, leaving the film director-free at the moment. A pair of screenwriters, Marianne and Cormac Wibberley (National Treasure) are reportedly now completely rewriting the film....

The people’s champ of headshots Can you smell what The Rock is cookin’? Well he cooked up a pretty big payday for the Chapter 2Fortniteevent, which just ended at approximately 4:15PM ET. Here’s a quick rundown of what happened. After being threatened by alien cube forces for the past several seasons, Chapter 2 came to a head today at 4PM ET, as the Cube Queen (who is an unlockable skin through an event this past month) launched her attack....

A tactical history lesson One of my first stops at PAX East 2019 was checking out Pixelated Milk’s tactical WWII game,Warsaw, due out on PC, PlayStation 4, and Switch later this year. Set in Nazi-occupied Warsaw, you play out the days of the Warsaw uprising which saw citizens taking a stand against the occupying German soldiers. Speaking briefly with one the producers, Krzysztof Paplinski, he informed me that the dev team wanted to leave the history of the real world event in the game without forcing it out in front of the player....

Whip it Good id Software’sDoomdoes not only hold the title of being one of the single most influential video games of all-time, but it also seems to be the go-to for a whole bevy of fun fan projects, from efforts to get the shooterrunning on every platform under the sun, to a host ofamusing in-game modsand re-designs. This particular hit in this long line of fan projects comes from modder Andrea Gori, who has used theDoomengine as the basis for their wicked first-person take on Konami’s gothic classic,Castlevania....

Why do you build me up? The satisfaction that comes from doing well in a deckbuilding game is like nothing else. Whether you’re playing a physical game like the excellent (if dryly titled)DC Deck-Building Gameor a video game like the infinite time-suck that isSlay the Spire, it just feels good to build and unleash your own slate of moves. But recently, I’ve found myself bored by straight up-and-down deckbuilders. A lot of them feel very similar, and while there are plenty of good games playing with the same ideas, I’ve started actively seeking out deckbuilders with slightly bigger ideas....

Holy crap, Capcom is a Gemini like me!? Though I’m not too crazy about a lot of what Capcom has been doing lately — boy, that’s an understatement — it nonetheless holds a special place in my heart as the first gaming company I truly admired. Games likeMega Man,DuckTales,Chip ‘n’ Dale,Little Nemo,Forgotten Worlds, andStriderstruck a major chord with me; for the longest time, I had aspirations of working at the Capcom USA branch....

Though I hear it’s actually a centaur planetoid Destinyfans are giddy with excitement today, as the beta for the the sequel to Bungie’s sci-fi epic launches in mere hours. Just to tease the hype that little bit more, IGN released a short clip of one of the game’s new planets. Nessus, currently inhabited by the Vex, has a relatively quaint and luscious looking environment, which will make for a interesting backdrop to the wanton destruction about to rain down on its colourful foliage and ancient ruins....

?Y por qu? no? In a year that has seen so many popular fictional characters reimagined as slightly different things, Destructoid has pondered what it might be like if Mario was depicted as another European nationality. With that in mind, we give you: Spanish Mario. We realize the redesign is sure to offend some readers and draw criticism from those that believe the changes are at odds with the source material, but Destructoid firmly believes a larger swathe of Caucasian males deserve to be represented in games....

Sexy sounds, slashes, & business reality It pains me that some game publishers and developers feel the need to arbitrarily add or remove sexual content to their games to make them more marketable, but that need is an inevitable part of any art business. If you’re a game publisher, your job is to try to bend luck and fate in your favor so that your products sell better than the other guys’....

Plus, there’s new dungeons, changes made to FATEs, and well it’s actually kind of nuts scrolling through all the additions and changes onthe patch update pagefrom Square....
