Update 9/28: Rockstar Games has released more wildlife screenshots from Red Dead Redemption 2, including images of American bison, a banded gila monster, a red fox, vultures and more. The screenshots can be seen in the gallery below.
The hunting, fishing and wildlife systems in Red Dead Redemption 2 are incredibly deep and realistic, if Rockstar’s own descriptions of these systems are anything to go by.
Revealed through the official Rockstar Games website, Red Dead Redemption 2 will be home to approximately 200 species of animals, including various mammals, birds, fish and more. All reportedly behave and react to the game’s environment in unique, logical ways.
With The Simpsons kicking off its 30th (!!!) season on September 30, we’re once more looking back at the show’s very best episodes.
The Simpsons has been around for almost 30 years now, spawning hundreds of episodes and one theatrical movie. It wasn’t an easy task considering how many their were to choose from, but these 30 episodes are essential viewing for anyone who enjoys hanging out in Springfield, USA.
Even 30 episodes barely scratches the surface of what the show has given us over the years, of course. Let us know your picks for the best Simpsons episodes of all time in the comments section below.
“Embiggens? I never heard that word before I moved to Springfield.”
Just like Robert Redford’s own eternally dazzling smile, David Lowery’s The Old Man & the Gun is welcoming, approachable, relaxed, and affable. Although ostensibly structured as crime thriller – it is based on the life of real-life bank robber and multiple prison escapee Forrest Tucker – The Old Man & the Gun moves gently and calmly, eager to stay at the pace of a gentle stroll. It is a film that invites one to sit in its living room, offers a cup of tea, and proceeds to spin yarns of the good old days while you listen raptly to its deceptively inconsequential anecdotes.
Forrest Tucker, for the uninitiated, was one of the most prolific career criminals of the 20th century. He reportedly escaped from 18 prisons, and made 12 additional attempts. His approach to robbing banks was a friendly one: He would enter a bank, wait for just the right moment, then show a gun to a teller or a manager, demanding cash. He wouldn’t threaten, badger, or cuss. He would converse, defer, ask nicely, and compliment. And he always left with a smile on his face. He was a bank robber by the very nature of his bemused politeness. It’s been said that his victims would speak kindly of him after the fact.
PlayStation’s Worldwide Studios Chairman Shawn Layden has confirmed Sony will not be holding a PlayStation Experience event in 2018.
Layden made the announcement on the PlayStation Blogcast, saying “For 2018, I know this is going to be a disappointment to some people, but we decided to not hold PlayStation Experience this year.”
“We won’t have it in the States this year,” he continued. “The reasons behind that really are we don’t have…we have a lot of progress that we’re making on our games…Now that we have Spider-Man out the door, we’re looking down into 2019 games like Dreams and Days Gone.
Well what do you know: Nintendo had thought of Bowsette before the internet did, and the character was nearly in Super Mario Odyssey.
Though Bowsette is a character that took the internet by storm, it isn’t a real Nintendo creation, rather fan art that was spawned from the odd introduction of Peachette during this month’s jam packed Nintendo Direct. Or, at least we thought this idea of a Bowser and Princess Peach combination was entirely made up by fans, until today’s release of The Art of Super Mario Odyssey in Japan.

Throughout September, IGN is spotlighting the best TV coming your way in the 2018-2019 season. Today, we’ve got an exclusive look at YouTube’s upcoming sci-fi horror series, Origin, starring Harry Potter alums Tom Felton and Natalia Tena. According to YouTube, “In Origin…we meet a group of troubled passengers as they wake up on a damaged spaceship abandoned in deep space. Each having left behind a dark past in search of a fresh start on a newly colonized planet, they’re desperate to survive at all costs. But as their terrifying situation spirals into paranoia, they come to realize that the greatest threat to their dream of starting over – and indeed their lives – might actually be within their midst…” Origin premieres on November 14.
SoulCalibur VI, the next installment of Bandai Namco’s long-running fighting game series, is set to release on October 19 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Like the previous games, this one pits weapon-wielding combatants against each other and sees the inclusion of many familiar faces for anyone who’s played the previous games–or anyone who’s played The Witcher, for that matter.
If you’re ready to go all-in on SoulCalibur VI, you’ll probably want to know about any pre-order bonuses, what comes with each edition of the game, and where you can get it. Below, we’ve gathered all of the information you need to make an informed pre-order decision. Let’s get to it.
SoulCalibur VI Pre-Order Bonus
A few retailer-exclusive pre-order bonuses are available for the game. If you pre-order SoulCalibur VI from Best Buy, you’ll receive a free 3.5-inch-tall mini figure of Talim (while supplies last). GameStop, meanwhile, is giving away the Ivy Valentine Figpin seen above. Finally, pre-ordering from the PlayStation Store gets you a free SoulCalibur VI PS4 theme.
Standard Edition
The standard edition contains the game itself, plus any applicable pre-order bonuses. The best deal at the time of this writing is at Newegg, where you’ll save $10.
Deluxe Edition
Physical versions of the deluxe edition come with the season pass, the soundtrack on CD, and a metal case with a built-in soundbox that can play four voiceover snippets. Digital versions cost $10 less but only contain the game and season pass.
Collector’s Edition
The $150 collector’s edition comes with even more items. You’ll get everything included in the deluxe edition, plus a 120-page art book and a 12-inch collectible Sophitia figure, all packaged in a long collector’s edition box.
