How HBO’s Camping Lured Jennifer Garner Back to TV

Throughout September, IGN is spotlighting the best TV coming your way in the 2018-2019 season. Today, we’ve got an exclusive first look at HBO’s Camping, starring Jennifer Garner and David Tennant, and based on the British series of the same name by Julia Davis. According to HBO, “Camping follows married couple Kathryn and Walt, who have planned a delightful weekend “back to nature” for Walt’s 45th birthday. But when the camping trip gathers Kathryn’s meek sister, holier-than-thou ex-best friend, and a free-spirited tagalong in one place, it becomes a weekend of tested marriages and woman-on-woman crime that won’t soon be forgotten.” Camping premieres October 14.

Catherine: Full Body Is More Than Just a Remaster

Catherine: Full Body is much more than just a remaster of 2011’s puzzle adventure with some tweaks and additional scenario pieces here and there. With the addition of a third heroine character, producer Katsura Hashino and his team at Studio Zero did not just add her part, but fleshed out the original story to make her fit in more naturally. That means that fans of the original have a lot of new content to look forward to. “The new edition has 1.5 the content of the original game,” Hashino tells me.

Protagonist Vincent is a 32-year-old systems engineer salaryman, and is facing what is best described as a midlife crisis. His girlfriend Katherine’s period is late, and she wants Vincent to be more serious about their relationship. Vincent himself is not exactly a family man, and he is not sure how to cope with his girlfriend’s news. After work, he goes drinking at Stray Sheep, his favorite bar, and the next morning he wakes up with a gorgeous blonde bombshell beside him by the name of Catherine. She becomes Vincent’s secret lover, but Catherine doesn’t know that Vincent already has a steady girlfriend. That means that he not only has to keep Catherine a secret to Katherine, but also the other way around. Eventually, Vincent (and therefore the player) has to choose which of the two is his true love.

Death Stranding’s TGS Trailer Has A Cool New Character Voiced By Troy Baker

A new trailer for Death Stranding, the mysterious new project from Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima, has been released and provides us with our first look at the character being played by Troy Baker.

Baker, who worked with Kojima on Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, appears in Death Stranding as an enigmatic antagonist that creates a supernatural obstacle for Reedus’ Sam Porter Bridges to face. Baker’s character removes a golden skull mask from his head and plunges it into the ground, summoning a mammoth otherworldly cat-like creature formed of creepy black limbs.

In typical Kojima Productions fashion, there’s very little information on what all this means and how it fits into the broader game. Instead it creates further questions that we desperately want answers for. Sadly, we’re not sure when we’ll get those answers as Death Stranding doesn’t have a release date yet.

Death Stranding began development in 2015, shortly after Kojima parted ways with Konami. The game made its debut during during Sony’s E3 2016 press conference, and although various trailers have been released since, very little is known about it. In addition to Baker, Death Stranding’s cast includes a number of other famous actors, including The Walking Dead‘s Norman Reedus, Hannibal‘s Mads Mikkelsen, Lea Seydoux, and Lindsay Wagner.
