What’s New To Netflix This Week: Movies, TV, And Originals

Every week, steaming services like Netflix offer up new content for its subscribers to binge-watch during their free time. This week, there are a few things you’ll really want to check out, so cancel your plans and use those work sick days.

Why play hooky at work? Because there’s a new season of Terrace House arriving on Tuesday. The Japanese reality series follows a group of strangers living together for the first time, while a panel discusses everything happening within the house. Unlike American reality TV, Terrace House isn’t about fist fights, getting drunk, and having sex. The series is actually a reality TV show where friendships and sometimes relationships grow through talking and going out together, like how it does in real life.

On Friday, the second season of The Chef Show arrives. In this series, Jon Favreau and Roy Choi cook recipes together and interview celebrities. It’s an exceptionally relaxing series, and while there are plenty of cooking shows like this, the conversations and experimentation the two hosts do here are what set it apart from the rest.

Below, you’ll find everything coming to Netflix this week, and if you’re looking for more info about streaming services, check out what’s coming to Hulu and Amazon Prime Video for September.

This Huge PC Sale Offers Tons Of Discounts On Everything You Need

The products discussed here were independently chosen by our editors. GameSpot may get a share of the revenue if you buy anything featured on our site.

Another week, another slate of savings on PC monitors, desktops, and laptops. Best Buy is the host this time, offering deals on some great G-Sync and FreeSync monitors, in addition to some good-to-great desktops and laptops

The deals range from the very affordable to the extremely pricey–like this $2,550 17-inch Alienware laptop that comes with an RTX 2070 and i7-9700. However, there are also several great, budget monitors if you’re looking for something with adaptive sync capability.

I’ve included some of the most appealing deals below, but if you want to see all of them, head over to Best Buy.

HP Omen Desktop – i7-8700 + RTX 2080

$1,550 ($2,000)

This HP Omen desktop comes equipped with an i7-8700, RTX 2080, 16 GB of RAM, and a 2 TB HDD + 256 GB SSD storage combo. If you’re looking for an all-in-one desktop option, this is a great choice that can run most modern games at higher settings.

Asus ROG Zephyrus G – 15.6″ Gaming Laptop

$1,050 ($1,199)

Out of all of the gaming laptops on sale, I’d suggest this Asus one, as it’s $650 cheaper than the 2060-equipped MSI and still packs quite a punch for 1080p gaming performance. This particular Asus ROG comes with a GTX 1660 Ti, AMD Ryzen 7, 16 GB RAM, and a 512 GB SSD.

Acer Predator XB272 27″ LED G-Sync Monitor

$500 ($600)

I’m a big fan of Acer’s Predator series of monitors, and if you’re not looking to go any higher than 1080p with your games, then this is a great G-Sync option with a 240 Hz refresh rate.

Dell S2719DGF 27″ LED FreeSync Monitor

$285 ($400)

If you’re looking for a 1440p monitor with FreeSync, then this Dell monitor deal is worth looking at. It’s got a 27-inch display, 155 Hz refresh rate, and 1 ms response time.

IPS monitors typically have the best colours when compared to regular LED-lit displays. However, with this monitor you are giving up a faster refresh rate and higher resolution, only clocking in at 75 Hz and 1920×1080.

New Borderlands 3 Launch Trailer Is Ready For Mayhem

GameSpot may get a commission from retail offers.

Borderlands 3 shoots onto PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on September 13, and ahead of its release, the looter-shooter got a new rocking trailer showing the Vault Hunters jamming out to some Queen.

The new trailer shows the four Vault Hunters–Amara the Siren, FL4K the Beastmaster, Moze the Gunner, and Zane the Operative–wreaking havoc and causing mayhem as they attempt to thwart Troy and Tyreen Calypso’s evil plans. It’s a dazzling display of lights and explosions and chaos, all soundtracked to Queen’s “Seven Seas of Rhye” from the band’s 1973 debut album Queen and the 1974 follow-up Queen II.

The critics have spoken and we’ve compiled a roundup of Borderlands 3 reviews from various publications. In our Borderlands 3 review we said, “The game’s character-driven narrative acts as a satisfying finale for the loot-shooter franchise, and the new mechanics and features–especially the reworked skill trees and weapon manufacturer effects–give you plenty of agency in how you want to play through it. If you’ve never been a fan of the franchise, it’s unlikely Borderlands 3 does enough things differently to change your mind, as the game best excels at continuing what the series has always done: deliver a humorous tall tale of misfits looting and shooting their way to heroism.”

Borderlands 3 may be just on the horizon, but developer Gearbox already has plans for the game’s first wave of post-release content. These include a Halloween-themed limited-time event called Bloody Harvest, a much larger update called Maliwan Takedown, and the first of its major DLC expansions all launching before the end of 2019, with more content likely to come in 2020.

Apple iPhone Event: Watch It Here, Get Start Times, And More

Apple is preparing to unveil new products, and you can watch all the announcements as they happen. The event will take place September 10 at 10 AM PT / 12 PM CST / 1 PM ET / 6 PM BST at the Steve Jobs Theatre in Cupertino.

GameSpot sister site CNET expects the event to focus on hardware. That will include three new phone models, rumored to be the iPhone 11, 11 Max/Pro, and 11R. Those are likely to include better cameras and processors, and a new iOS13 operating system that is also likely to be highlighted. Apple is facing the challenge of spurring on customers to upgrade, so we’ll see how these new phones stack up. We may also see new Apple Watch models.

Apple has streamed its events for years, usually through its own devices and Safari browser. This event will mark the first time Apple will stream through YouTube, owned by its tech competitor Google. That means you can simply bookmark this page and come back to watch at showtime.

Apple has recently been expanding from tech hardware and software to entertainment and services, like its Apple TV Plus streaming service which will host original programming, and the upcoming Apple Arcade game subscription service. On that front it’s also seeing increased competition, including from Google, which is preparing to launch its own Play Pass subscription.

Pokemon Sword And Shield May Have Autosave For The First Time

GameSpot may get a commission from retail offers.

Nintendo gave us another look at Pokemon Sword and Shield during its latest Direct presentation. While the segment focused primarily on trainer customization and camping, it seems Nintendo may have also inadvertently revealed the games will feature autosaves.

During the Pokemon portion of the latest Nintendo Direct, eagle-eyed fans spotted the words “now saving” in the upper right corner of the screen when the player character enters a fashion boutique (via Eurogamer), which seems to suggest the games will automatically save at various points while you’re playing. The moment in question occurs at around the 45-second mark in the video below.

If Sword and Shield do indeed utilize autosaves, they will be the first mainline games in the series to have the feature. However, it’s still unclear if the titles will only feature one save slot, as all past mainline Pokemon games have, or if there will be separate slots for the autosaves, as in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Whatever the case, we do know that autosaves won’t be replacing manually saving in Sword and Shield; at around the 1:20 mark in the same video, you can see a dedicated Save option when the menu screen is pulled up.

Similarly, the upcoming Animal Crossing: New Horizons is also the first installment in its series to make use of autosaves. In fact, Switch’s autosave function is the reason Mr. Resetti will be out of a job in New Horizons. In the past, the irritable mole would pop up and lecture a player if they quit the game without saving, but thanks to autosaves, his role is now redundant. However, game director Aya Kyogoku teases that Mr. Resetti is looking for a new job and may yet appear in the upcoming title.

Pokemon Sword and Shield launch for Switch on November 15, just a few days after Nintendo releases a special Pokemon edition Nintendo Switch Lite. You can check out all the new Gen 8 Pokemon revealed so far for Sword and Shield in our gallery. For more on the titles, be sure to check out our Pokemon Sword and Shield pre-order guide.
