During “The Quest For the Perfect Superman Game” panel held at PAX West on August 31, God of War director Cory Barlog shared some interesting ideas for what kind of Superman game he’d create. Originally reported by GameInformer, the panel can still be viewed on Twitch.

Barlog gave a series of ideas about a theoretical Superman game, meaning none of them are for any real project he is currently working on.

Now that the world has gotten a look at the ominous sights and sounds of Night City in CD Project Red’s Cyberpunk 2077, we’re hoping we won’t have to wait until 2077 to play it. But since there’s no release date in sight, here’s a comprehensive list of some top-notch, high tech, low-life Cyberpunk media you can jack in to to help ease the wait.

Don’t expect anything obvious like Blade Runner, The Fifth Element, or Ghost in the Shell on this list, as we’re digging much deeper.

Also, here’s that long-awaited gameplay demo one more time if you haven’t seen it yet — or just want to watch it again like we have been:

The Labor Day holiday weekend represents an extra day off of work or school for most, but in Hollywood, it marks the end of the lucrative summer box office season. The movie industry typically defines the summer movie season as taking place between the first weekend in May (when many colleges across the country let out) and the Labor Day holiday weekend, and this year, Hollywood was looking to rebound from its worst summer since 2006.

If you look at just the raw numbers, without exception, it didn’t… but it’s a lot more complicated than that. So, we’re going to take a deep dive through the numbers and break down what happened this summer at the box office, and why it could lead to some potentially surprising changes.

Playing the Spyro Reignited Trilogy is like revisiting an old friend who’s been taking very good care of themselves. Having played levels from now all three Spyro games from the original trilogy, I’ve been consistently hit by waves of nostalgia and the muscle memory of jumps and glides kicking in immediately. But with the new coat of sheen Toys for Bob has brought to those games in remaking them from the ground up, Spyro doesn’t look as good as my memory pictures it — it looks so much better.

Having played some Spyro Reignited Trilogy levels ahead of Gamescom 2018 and dipping back into them for PAX West 2018, I’m continually impressed by the level of detail and life Toys for Bob has brought to these worlds. The studio has done a tremendous job of filling in the gaps left by the technology of the original games’ times, building on the clever level design and characterization Insomniac Games first created.
