As you’ve seen by now, Thanos (Josh Brolin) isn’t alone when he comes to Earth in Avengers: Infinity War. He’s brought four scary-looking aliens with him that make up The Black Order. Who is this group of baddies looking to tear through the Marvel Cinematic Universe, though?

Unsurprisingly, they have roots in Marvel Comics. As explained in GameSpot’s look at the group above, they were first introduced in 2013 in the comics as the Cull Obsidian.` However, some major changes were made in the transition from the page to the big screen.

The most notable difference is that a member is missing. In the comics, the Cull Obsidian is a five-member group, consisting of Corvus Glaive, Proxima Midnight, Black Dwarf, Supergiant, and Ebony Maw. In Infinity War, though, Supergiant is missing–at least, for now. It’s the only member of the crew not introduced at Disney’s D23 in 2017. Additionally, Black Dwarf’s name has been changed to Cull Obsidian, in a nod to the original group.

It remains to be seen how many of the traits the characters had in the comics will be adapted into the film–like Ebony Maw’s intellect or the fighting ability of Proxima Midnight–but the group, which is also known as the Children of Thanos, look to be no joking matter in the film. Check out the video above to find out everything you need to know about The Black Order before sitting down to watch Avengers: Infinity War. The film hits theaters on April 27.

Wipeout racers are getting the chance to experience the game in a whole new way for free, starting today. If you own the Wipeout Omega Collection on PS4, the latest free update gets you the ability to play the game in virtual reality. Of course, you also need a PSVR setup already, but if you have one all you have to do to play is update your game and switch on your headset.

Wipeout Omega Collection is a testament to the Wipeout series’s frantic fun. It includes a remastered version of 2008’s Wipeout HD, along with its Fury expansion and the much-improved Wipeout 2048. The free update gives you the chance to play the entire Omega Collection in VR, on any game mode. Three new VR-exclusive ships have also been added in HD, Fury, and 2048 classes. You can check out more Wipeout VR action in the trailer above.

To further boost the VR experience, the game includes full 3D audio and a new remix of “Shake It.” This was provided by the winner of a recent Wipeout contest to create the best remix of the one of the game’s signature songs.

The Wipeout Omega Collection released last year, bringing big graphical updates to the games, running at 1080p on PS4 and dynamic 4K resolution on the PS4 Pro. In GameSpot’s review of Wipeout Omega Collection, Miguel Concepcion said each of the three games exuded their own style and simulation in their own distinct ways, while “collectively [showcasing] the best elements of franchise’s engrossing racing and silky smooth visuals. And even though it doesn’t completely scratch the itch that only a completely new PS4 sequel can offer, this collection is easily the next best thing.”

Just recently, it was reported that the animated Deadpool TV show had stalled, with showrunner and writer Donald Glover walking away from the project. Glover had been working on the series with his brother Stephen since May last year, but “creative differences” had forced the pair, plus producers FX, to walk away from the partnership with Marvel TV. Now Glover himself has made reference to his exit from the Deadpool show.

Glover’s only direct comment on the matter was a tweet saying that he wasn’t “too busy to work on Deadpool.” This is in response to some reports that his departure from the show was due to his busy schedule–Glover is also the star and producer of the hit comedy Atlanta, as well as an actor in movies such as Solo: A Star Wars Story and an acclaimed musician. However, Glover’s tweet suggests that the reasons for leaving the Deadpool show were nothing to do with his schedule, and the script pages that he shared might provide a clue as to why the actor left.

The pages that Glover posted are clearly not from the show itself, but they are packed with allusions to the show’s cancellation as well as a host of other highly topical references. In the script, Deadpool talks about how Marvel already has plenty of “feel good minority shows that everyone supports but no one watches,” and that his show “would have been funny.” In addition, Deadpool speculates whether now is really the right time to have a “violent gun-toting white man ranting on TV” and comes to the conclusion that “maybe they just wanna sell toys.” Check it out in the series of tweets below:

The canceled Deadpool show was to run for set to 10 episodes in its first season and would have premiered this year on FX sister channel FXX. In May last year, FX programming co-president Nick Grad explained that the show would be “bold, striking, and entirely original.” It seems that it might have been just a bit too bold and original.

In related news, a new trailer for the movie Deadpool 2 arrived this week, which follows last week’s first full trailer. The film hits theaters on May 18, and stars Ryan Reynolds, Josh Brolin, and Zazie Beetz.

After a couple of months of strange posters and unconventional promos, we finally got the full, official Deadpool 2 trailer last week. The movie hits theaters on May 18, and now we have a second, green-band trailer, plus a new international poster.

The trailer is largely the same as last week’s red-band version, with some of the language and violence toned down. But there is a new joke, plus a recap of the events from the first movie–watch it below. The new poster meanwhile features Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) alongside Cable (Josh Brolin) and Domino (Zazie Beetz)–check it out at the end of this story.

It has also been confirmed that Terry Crews is playing the character of Bedlam in the film. The former football star and Brooklyn 99 actor had never been formally announced as part of the Deadpool 2 cast, and it wasn’t initially exactly clear who he was playing. However a freezeframe in the trailer briefly shows a photo of Crews with the name “Bedlam” beneath it.

Deadpool 2 is directed by David Leitch (John Wick, Atomic Blonde). He replaced Tim Miller, who reportedly clashed with Reynolds over the direction of the movie. Earlier this month, it was reported that the film was undergoing reshoots to add more footage of Cable and Domino, who had proven very popular with audiences at test screenings.

In a recent interview with Collider, Brolin spoke about the physical challenges of playing Cable. “I got beat to s*** on that movie,” he said. “I had stuntmen throwing me all over the place. I’ve got a shoulder issue, I’ve got a knee issue that I’ve got to deal with now, but we got through it. We got through it. I pushed hard and I suffered because of it.”

Dog companions in video games are nothing new, but that doesn’t mean having Boomer–one of Far Cry 5‘s many optional AI allies–around is any less enjoyable. You might also be wondering whether or not he is, in fact, a good boy, and luckily we have an official answer, courtesy of Ubisoft’s support site.

Far Cry 5’s launch on PC, PS4, and Xbox One has come, and it’s gone relatively smoothly, certainly compared with something like Sea of Thieves last week. As such, Ubisoft has been afforded the flexibility to have some fun by hosting a support page dedicated entirely to the question, “Is Boomer a good boy?”

“Yes. Yes, Boomer is a very good boy,” the page states. There’s no other context or explanation given; the page otherwise only has the usual links to other support pages and what’s basically a baseball trading card for Boomer.

Silliness aside, Boomer is legitimately useful; he’s one of the game’s nine Specialists, which are better versions of the AI-controlled allies you can recruit to help you out in Far Cry 5. Boomer will tag nearby enemies, which is particularly invaluable for players who are looking to be stealthy, and will sometimes bring back a weapon for you after he attacks an enemy. Utilizing Specialists and Guns for Hire in general is a worthwhile strategy, or you could always just play co-op with a friend, as you can see in the video above.

You can read more about Specialist and Guns for Hire in our Far Cry 5 guide that covers tips we wish we knew before playing. For much more, check out our Far Cry 5 review.

One of Rainbow Six Siege‘s two newest Operators is in line for a nerf. A test server update has been rolled out with a number of changes and fixes, the most notable of which is an adjustment to Lion, one of the two characters added in the recent Operation Chimera update.

Lion is an Attacker whose gadget is a drone that can mark enemies through walls, providing an outline that highlights their current position. Many players feel the character is overpowered, and Ubisoft seems to agree. In a post on Reddit running through the patch notes for the test server update, it states, “We understand that Lion is not in a good place right now.” A more in-depth explanation will be forthcoming, but for now, it simply outlined the balance changes it’s testing.

For starters, if you’re a Defender, you can stop moving after Lion uses his Scan to make your outline disappear. Lion also loses one charge, giving him two total uses in a round. And finally, the cooldown in between uses has been extended from 10 seconds to 20.

The other major change involves what Ubisoft calls “weapon sight misalignment,” which causes bullets to not end up where the targeting reticle suggests they will. According to the patch notes, this update includes a fix that resolves the problem, which tends to impact automatic weapons most. You can see this demonstrated in a video on Ubisoft’s website.

“The goal is to offer a clean, tight shooting system that does not cheat players out of a great show of skill, or on the contrary, register a headshot when the player is aiming at the torso,” a blog post explains. “We prototyped several technical solutions to correct the issue over the last year, but they all had significant drawbacks. We were not comfortable moving forward with the majority of those solutions.

“The solution we landed on shifted how recoils behave, making them trivial to control so all recoils had to be re-done in the new system. We tested some major adjustments to the foundations of the recoil equation on the TTS in September 2017. Following feedback from that Test Server session, we changed how we were going to go about addressing the issue. As such, we have moved away from predictable recoil patterns, and found another solution that does not involve predictable recoil.”

Other changes in this patch include a fix for Mira not being affected by Grzmot explosions if she is holding her Black Mirror and bullets passing through an indestructible wall in the Bank map. You can see all of the changes, along with known issues, in the patch notes below. There’s no word on how soon the contents of this update will be pushed over to the live game on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. The test server will be live until March 30 at 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET / 9 PM BST.

The first two DLC characters for Dragon Ball FighterZ have arrived. Broly and Bardock are now available to purchase for the Dragon Ball fighting game, and they come alongside new avatars and Z Stamps.

The Legendary Super Saiyan Broly is one of the most imposing characters in Dragon Ball FighterZ, overwhelming opponents with his immense size and power. Bardock, on the other hand, excels at close-range combat. His fighting style emphasizes rush attacks, and he can also transform into a Super Saiyan when delivering his Super.

We got to try out both Broly and Bardock ahead of their release last week, showcasing some of their Supers and victory quotes. We also pit the two Saiyans against each other during our recent Dragon Ball FighterZ livestream. If you missed out, you can watch a replay of it above.

Broly and Bardock are available to download for $5 apiece. Each character also comes with his own Lobby avatar and Z Stamp. Meanwhile, players who’ve purchased the game’s $35 FighterZ Pass will receive the two new Saiyans at no additional cost.

At least six more DLC characters are planned for Dragon Ball FighterZ, all of whom are likewise included in the FighterZ Pass. Bandai Namco has yet to reveal who those will be, but we’ve put together a list of 15 DLC characters we’d love to see in the game.

Dragon Ball FighterZ is available now for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. We called it a “fighting game that can go toe-to-toe with the best of the genre” and awarded it a 9/10 in our Dragon Ball FighterZ review.
