Xbox One Exclusive Sunset Overdrive Could Be Coming To PC

Sunset Overdrive, the over-the-top third-person shooter for Xbox One made by the developer of the PS4 exclusive Spider-Man, looks like it is finally releasing on PC. A rating for a PC edition of the game recently popped up in the ESRB database, while a listing has also appeared in Steam’s database (but is not yet visible on the site’s public-facing pages). Back in May, Korea’s ratings board posted a rating for a PC edition, according to Gematsu.

All of this evidence seems to suggest that it’s only a matter of time before an official announcement is made about Sunset Overdrive for PC. In September 2014, just a month before Sunset Overdrive launched for Xbox One, Insomniac said it had no plans to bring the game to PC, but teased that it hadn’t ruled it out, either.

Two years later, Insomniac said it really wanted to bring Sunset Overdrive to PC, but noted that it was publisher Microsoft’s decision to make. Part of the reason why Insomniac decided to make it an Xbox One-exclusive in the first place was because Microsoft reportedly allowed the studio to own the rights to the Sunset Overdrive franchise. It appears even despite that, Microsoft gets to call the shots on whether or not Sunset Overdrive is released on PC.

Insomniac has said it would like to make Sunset Overdrive 2, but at least as of October 2017, the studio had not found a partner for it.

we’d love to, we just need to find a publisher!

Insomniac’s latest game was the PS4 exclusive Spider-Man, which it developed in partnership with Sony and Marvel. The game sold really well and was generally adored by critics. The studio is currently working on the AR game Seedling for Magic Leap and a VR game called Stormland.

If Microsoft is to announce Sunset Overdrive for PC, one possible venue is the company’s upcoming X018 event in Mexico City. The event takes place on November 10, so keep checking back with GameSpot for more.

Sunset Overdrive is wacky and wonderful, and you can currently get it pretty cheap on Xbox One. Alternatively, it’s free with Xbox Game Pass on Xbox One.

J.J. Abrams’ Overlord Gets Bloody Great New Gallery 1988 Poster

With the upcoming J.J. Abrams-produced zombie horror movie due in theaters this week, IGN is exclusively debuting a brand new Gallery 1988 poster for the movie featuring its main villain.

Given the blood splash across the imagery and the fact that half of this featured character’s face has been zombified, you can probably guess that he is up to no good. The Big Bad in question is Pilou Asbæk’s Dr. Wafner, a Nazi doctor with a plan to develop secret serums intended to, as IGN’s review explains, “create thousand-year soldiers needed for the thousand-year Reich.”

Check out the Gallery 1988 poster from artist Anthony Petrie below:

Here’s Why Carl and Lori Weren’t in Rick’s Final Walking Dead Episode

This interview contains spoilers for The Walking Dead Season 9, episode 5, “What Comes After.”

Although Rick didn’t die in Andrew Lincoln’s final episode of The Walking Dead, our hero was visited by several “ghosts” from his past while attempting to outrun a herd of walkers and make it back to his family: Jon Bernthal’s Shane, Scott Wilson’s Hershel, and Sonequa Martin-Green’s Sasha – each of whom gave our bleeding hero some much needed advice and motivation when it seemed he might be ready to give up and become zombie chow.

Many fans were disappointed that Chandler Riggs’ Carl and Sarah Wayne Callies’ Lori didn’t make an appearance for Rick’s swansong, given their close connection with the character, but Walking Dead showrunner Angela Kang tells IGN that their close familial bond is exactly why the writers chose to keep Carl and Lori out of sight.

Deadpool 2’s PG-13 Version Gets A Title, Release Date, And Wacky Fred Savage Details

We’ve learned a lot more about the upcoming PG-13 version of Deadpool 2. Deadline reports that the movie is titled Once Upon a Deadpool, and it’ll release through a “limited-engagement” in the United States on December 12. It’ll only play in theaters until Christmas Eve (December 24).

As for what’s different in the new cut, Deadline reports that the “lion’s share” of the new edition is the same footage from the original Deadpool 2, but with its violence and language toned down. A new multi-scene “framing sequence,” dreamed up by Ryan Reynolds and writers Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese, was also shot for the new PG-13 edit. There are eight new scenes in all, and they were reportedly shot in a single day.

Another element of Once Upon a Deadpool is that it’s going to be a vehicle to help drive awareness and raise money for cancer research. $1 from every ticket sold will go to the F**k Cancer campaign, but it’ll be called “Fudge Cancer” at ticket sales locations.

Regarding the new framing sequence, it will involve the actor Fred Savage, who starred as the little boy in the beloved cult classic The Princess Bride. In Once Upon a Deadpool, the merc will apparently kidnap Savage and featuring the same bedtime-story setup as The Princess Bride. Now that Savage is a grown man, this is set up to be very comical.

“Fox has been asking for a PG-13 basically since the start in 2006,” Reynolds told Deadline. “I’ve said no since 2006. Now, this one time, I said ‘Yes’ on two conditions. First, a portion of the proceeds had to go to charity. Second, I wanted to kidnap Fred Savage. The second condition took some explaining…”

Savage told Deadline: “While my participation in this film was anything but voluntary. I am happy to learn that Fudge Cancer will be the beneficiary of this shameless cash grab.”

Deadpool 2 opened in May this year, and it made $734 million during its theatrical run. The 2016 original was a bigger hit, bringing in more than $780 million at the box office. Those are massive figures, all but ensuring there will be a third Deadpool movie sometime down the road.

Deadpool 2 PG-13 Release Gets New Title and Limited Engagement Run

The previously announced PG-13 version of Deadpool 2 now has a title and limited release dates.

According to Deadline and confirmed through the official Deadpool Twitter account, the newly-edited version will be called Once Upon a Deadpool and will release in theaters on Dec. 12, concluding on Christmas Eve.

The PG-13 version will offer some new scenes with Ryan Reynolds and Fred Savage that were all filmed in one day.

9 New Things in Just Cause 4 – IGN First

Rico Rodriguez is back, and so is IGN First.

All month, we’ll be showing off exclusive footage and impressions of the most insane open world Avalanche has created yet, from the game’s new Army of Chaos features to using physics alone as a weapon. But first, let us get you up to speed.

Just Cause has always had a fairly straightforward philosophy – blow s**t up, and look cool doing so. But just because that approach hasn’t changed doesn’t mean you won’t have new ways to do it. Here are 9 new features coming along with Rico for the new adventure.

Grapple Upgrades

Just Cause is not a back-to-basics kind of series. Rico’s grappling hook has become more and more useful over the course of the series, and now it’s a truly multifunctional device. Aside from helping traversal and tethering objects and enemies together, it can now also attach rocket boosters and airlifter balloons from close to the start of the game. All of those functions can be combined – ever wanted to make a flying rocket bus? – and even modded to act exactly as you want them to. Oh, and you can have ten tethers of any kind equipped at any one time. Have fun.

Crunchyroll Reveals Fall 2018’s Most Popular Anime by Region

Anime streaming service Crunchyroll has released several new infographics detailing the most popular new anime from its fall 2018 simulcast lineup in various regions around the world.

Goblin Slayer is the clear favorite in the United States and Australia, while Europe, Canada, and Latin America feature a mix of various shows, including (but not necessarily limited to) Sword Art Online: Alicization, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind, and the aforementioned Goblin Slayer.

For a region-by-region breakdown, check out the infographics in the slideshow below.

It’s worth noting the popularity of each show was determined by the number of current viewers it’s had since its most recent episode. Additionally, only shows debuting this season were considered, so continuing series from last season like Black Clover were not included.
