Harry Potter RPG Leaked Gameplay Has Fans Freaking Out

Footage of what appears to be a Harry Potter game in development leaked Monday evening, throwing the internet into immediate speculation Tuesday morning.

The footage was shared on Reddit by VapeThisBro, who recorded the footage secretly while in a survey group at a mall. He said that signs in the lobby of the place read that no phones or cameras were allowed, but the company performing the survey neglected to check him.

Reddit users began commenting about his legitimacy and if an NDA was signed, in which, VapeThisBro explained the company in charge of the surveys forgot to have him sign his NDA before he finished watching the video and left.

Spider-Man PS4 Easter Egg Hidden in Into the Spider-Verse’s New Trailer

It looks like the upcoming Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse animated film has a (very) subtle tie-in to Insomniac Games’ Spider-Man for PlayStation 4.

As pointed out by Marvel Games Executive Creative Director Bill Rosemann, the Into the Spider-Verse trailer features a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it shot of the primary Spider-Man suit from Insomniac’s game. Watch the new trailer below:

In the trailer you’ll notice a portion of the suit with its signature white Spider-Man logo can be seen inside of a display case in the background of the shot pictured below, just to the right of Peter.

The Last Jedi: Study Blames Russian Trolls for ‘Weaponizing’ Social Media Hate

Regardless of personal opinions on Star Wars: The Last Jedi, it appears that Russian trolls used latent fan disagreements around the film to propagate and weaponize a “narrative of widespread discord and dysfunction in American society,” at least according to a recent study.

Via Mashable, the study in question was done by Morten Bay, a research fellow at the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. It compares the social media reaction that happened in the 2016 US Presidential Election to the social media climate that existed (and still exists) around The Last Jedi.

The Most Important Doctor Who Stories to Watch Before the New Season

With a new season of Doctor Who about to premiere, and with it begin another whole new era in the show’s 50+ year history of adventures in space and time, and with more focus than ever on the series’ vast backlog of stories in the wake of events like the recent Twitch Classic Who marathon that had a generation of young fans enjoying and embracing – and meme-ing – the past, we offer here a quick list of 25 essential Doctor Who stories that provide a good grounding in the show and its many delights as we prepare to welcome Jodie Whittaker as the thirteenth incarnation of the time-traveling Time Lord known as the Doctor.

A bit of explanation: These are not all necessarily the “best” stories, or the most important to continuity. We’ve picked 25 adventures – at least one for every official television Doctor – that give newcomers a solid sense of the shifting tones and styles of the series as it’s navigated its way through a half-century of history and popular culture. Also, we’ve skipped including any of the plethora of audio, comics, prose, and other stories that have helped to make Doctor Who one of the most vital and varied fictional universes in history.

A DDR Movie Is in the Works Where Dancing Will Save the World

A movie centered around the arcade sensation Dance Dance Revolution is currently in the works.

According to Variety, Greg Silverman’s new company Stampede is behind the film which is being made in partnership with producers J. Todd Harris and Marc Marcum from Branded Entertainment as well as Konami who still own the intellectual property.

Dance Dance Revolution appears to have been taken quite literally as the movie is set to take place in a world where their only chance of survival is to unite through the power of dance.

The announcement was made alongside the news that Cara Fano, who has been at Stampede since launch and previously worked with Silverman at Warner Bros, has been promoted to director of development across film and television.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Gameplay Hands-On: The Bizarre Open-World Strangers

As Red Dead Redemption 2‘s release date draws ever closer, we continue to learn more about Rockstar’s new open-world western. We’re now getting to discuss our time with the opening few hours of the game, including some of our favorite encounters with random strangers who inhabit the world.

In the video above, we recount some specific examples of the random open-world happenings that we got to see during our hands-on time. As we’ve detailed elsewhere, witnesses to your crimes can report you. You’re free to chase these people down and kill them or attempt to intimidate them, but even if they insist they’ll keep their mouth shut, it doesn’t mean they necessarily will. As our Mike Mahardy notes, these types of moments make what could be minor, inconsequential events feel like something far more notable.

During another sequence, which again felt like a spontaneous event more than a specific moment crafted by Rockstar, we were challenged by a man to a shooting contest. When we lost, he expected us to pay up, but this doesn’t happen automatically. When we unwittingly walked away, he assumed we were trying to cheat him, causing him to draw his gun. (It didn’t turn out well for him.)

You can hear about more of these examples in the video above. For a broader look at the game, we’ve detailed all of Red Dead Redemption 2’s new mechanics, as well as the things that have surprised us.
