Thanks to a posting on LinkedIn, it seems as though an employee at Ubisoft Shanghai named Xavier Plagnal has come forward about his involvement in “the next Far Cry game.” According to his CV, Xavier is a Studio Design Manager with Ubisoft and has been working as a Content Director on a yet-to-be-announced Far Cry title since September 2013. While this should all be taken with a grain of salt as Ubisoft has yet to officially announce that the aforementioned game is in fact Far Cry 4, they have been promising for almost half a year that details of the game would arrive “soon....

A sequel to Far Cry 2, a game that earned a few criticisms, Far Cry 3 put the series back on track and made it relevant. It even earned a lovable downloadable parody spinoff dubbed Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. According to new reports, Ubisoft is looking to continue series with the previously rumored game, Far Cry 4 and it could be coming next year. Confirmed by Eurogamer, Far Cry 4 will launch the series into a new direction, putting the series’ next protagonist in the Himalayas against a far colder and snowier clime than what players have seen before, with this setting representing a 180 degrees spin away from the dense jungles and barren beaches that players were tasked with traversing in Far Cry 3....

“The cast is incredible,” Hawley told Collider. “I would say it’s twice the size of any story we’ve told, both financially and the scope of it, the scale of it, the period of it. There’s no reason to do this again unless I think it could be the best one yet.” Like the Academy Award-winning 1996 Coen Brothers movie that serves as the series’ inspiration, Fargo combines black comedy and complex crime stories....

Throughout the films, the audience caught a glimpse of more of the killers, with Fear Street: 1978 introducing fans to the Camp Nightwing killer, while Fear Street: 1666 meant fans met the original Shadyside Killer, Pastor Cyrus Miller. Of course, that movie also explained how those killers went from normal townspeople to serial monsters, and it turned out good wasn’t so good after all. Ahead are some spoilers for the Fear Street trilogy....

Episode 10 begins with the interior of a mall, as the voice of a man named Chuck is heard calling out for help. He had stopped by one of the group’s supply stations and is now asking for assistance in death as the mall he lives in fills with walkers.

Published to Reddit’s r/AmITheA**hole forum, a woman under the anonymous username u/sadp0ets shared her story in order to get the opinion of the “AITA” community to determine if she was in the wrong. The viral post has over 8,000 upvotes. The Redditor began by explaining that she recently gave birth to her first child and that her body hasn’t “snapped back” yet. She feels so insecure about her belly that she doesn’t change in front of her husband....

Shoeless Joe asks, “Hey, is this heaven?” Ray Kinsella, of course, answers, “No. It’s Iowa.” MORE: Watch ‘ChangeUp,’ a new MLB live whiparound show on DAZN The top contender for the funniest line, in my opinion, is near the end of the movie, when Shoeless Joe invites Terence Mann into the mystical place beyond the outfield, and Ray is mad that Joe told him he wasn’t invited. He starts ranting and raving and delivers this classic line: “You guys are guests in my corn!...

We’ve known for some time that monsters would have an expanded role in the follow-up to FFXIII, from useful accomplices in combat to upgradeable pets. But thanks to a new trailer centering on Mog the Moogle, it seems that the adorable flying critter will prove more than useful in a variety of different ways in and out of skirmishes. Whether it’s adding to the new and improved combat system by offering special attacks, or helping the player uncover hidden items and artifacts, there’s more to Mog than meets the eye....

The details come after a trademark for the title was unearthed by superannuation, and a domain name with the same mysterious phrase was purchased by Quantic Dream. The name Fiv5 may not give much insight into the plot of the game, but comments made by Heavy Rain’s creator David Cage earlier this week should shed some light on the team’s direction. Cage has made it clear in the past that Heavy Rain was a pivotal event in the history of game design, and the integration of quick-time-events into context-sensitive actions wasn’t just a single game’s gimmick, but a new way to experience storytelling....

The U.S. military has been using a fire retardant foam which includes chemicals called PFAS, which have been linked with causing cancer in humans. Other items that include PFAS include some non-stick cookware, cleaning products and water repellents. PFAS are known as “forever chemicals” because when they enter the human body, they are not expelled. Many areas, especially around military bases, have found PFAS in their water supply. The DOD has been attempting to develop PFAS-free firefighting foam but when the new technology will be available for widespread usage is still unknown....

As stated above, Alli is a brand-new character within the Fortnite universe, but she’s got a strong connection to the past. Those who’ve been playing the game since 2018 may remember Lynx, the tier 1 skin for the Chapter 1 Season 7 Battle Pass. This new skin is her sibling, and there’s certainly a resemblance between the pair. Both ladies have bright pink hair and love wearing black clothing to complement it....

When does the Fortnite Joyride/Cars Update release? While Epic Games hasn’t officially announced a release time for the cars update at the time of publish, it’s safe to assume the 13.40 update will follow the same release pattern as other major updates during, and even before, Season 3. With that in mind, it’s expected that downtime for the Joyride Update will begin around 4 a.m. EDT August 5. At that time, update 13....

[HTML1] When it arrives in early October, Lionhead Studios’ Fable: The Journey promises to be the most expansive Kinect game yet. In contrast to the wealth of kid-friendly mini-game collections and dancing simulations that make up much of Kinect’s library, The Journey is a full-on action RPG, and though we don’t yet know how long the game will be, we do know that the world of Albion will be three times larger than it was in Fable III....
