The Best Action-Adventure Show You’re Not Watching is on Netflix

Are you bored with action-adventure crime shows? Are you over the same story of police detectives chasing down a murderer? Do you yearn for a show that combines the action-adventure attributes of 24, the warring factions of Game of Thrones, and the thoughtfulness and sociological breadth of The Wire? Well, Netflix just made all your dreams come true.

Suburra: Blood on Rome is the first TV show Netflix has produced in Italy (it’s technically a prequel to the 2014 movie Suburra, which Netflix co-financed, but there’s no need to watch the movie before watching the show). It deals with the underworld of crime, politics, real estate and the Vatican in Rome. At first glance its plot looks like an updated Romeo and Juliet: the children of two enemy Italian families become unlikely friends and allies, including one of them falling in love with the other, and go on a journey to reclaim their lives from their controlling relatives.

Watch Us Win It All In H1Z1’s New Car Combat Mode, Auto Royale

H1Z1 was in early access for quite some time (starting in 2015) and went through many phases with its survival mode and battle royale mode. But the game recently launched with an official 1.0 version along with a brand new game mode called Auto Royale. Up to 120 players are grouped into teams of four that are stuck to a car for the entire match; there’s one driver and three shooters with health, weapon, and gadgets scattered across the map. In true battle royale fashion, players are forced into ever-shrinking zones by a deadly circle until one team emerges victorious. We happened to be that team (just once).

In the video above, you can watch us find varying degrees of success and get to grips with all the game’s quirks and features, but ultimately win it all. Throughout our time playing H1Z1’s Auto Royale, we saw what the new mode had to offer as oil slicks, smoke screens, and land mines kept us on our toes. Ramps litter the map which cars can boost through to snag pickups, escape pursuing enemy cars, or just have a good time.

For more on H1Z1, you can read through our story on the game’s full release and new Auto Royale mode. H1Z1 is a PC exclusive available on Steam; console versions were planned but development went on hiatus back in 2016.

Turok and Turok 2 Now Available on Xbox One

The first two Turok games are now out on Xbox One.

As detailed on Major Nelson’s blog post, Turok and Turok 2: Seeds of Evil include restored and enhanced visuals as well as additional new features. They’re priced at $19.99 each. However, it’s important to note both games are remasters and not remakes.

The first Turok, first released in 1997, has players assume the role of the titular time-traveling warrior as he tries to collect the eight pieces of the shattered Chronoscepter scattered across a savage world. You’ll be battling dinosaurs and trying to stop the Campaigner’s evil crusade.

P.T. Demake Makes Silent Hills Teaser Look Like It’s From 1998

What would P.T. look like if it was a PlayStation game from 1998? Game developer and visual artist Toni Kortelahti has the answer, and you can try it out for yourself right now.

P.T.98, available as a free browser game on itch.io, is by no means a full version of P.T., the beloved Silent Hills teaser famously removed from the PlayStation Store ahead of Konami’s cancellation of Silent Hills in 2015. But it is a neat demonstration of what that iconic, looping hallway might look like with the low-poly 3D graphics of 90s-era games.

Captain Marvel ‘More of an Action-Comedy,’ Says Writer

Captain Marvel screenwriter Geneva Robertson-Dworet said the upcoming MCU film is “more of an action-comedy.”

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Robertson-Dworet discussed the film’s comedic tone and how it’s the same vision she had for the upcoming new Tomb Raider movie.

“Captain Marvel has a very funny voice, and it’s more of an action-comedy, more like what we were talking about doing in the first draft I wrote for Tomb Raider….

that tone survived in Captain Marvel,” Robertson-Dworet said.

Robertson-Dworet began working on Tomb Raider in 2015, well before she got involved with Captain Marvel. But while Tomb Raider ended up having a more serious tone, Robertson-Dworet was adamant about making Captain Marvel as lighthearted as possible.

Harrison Ford Didn’t Care About Passing Star Wars Baton

Harrison Ford didn’t care about finally ending his decades-long run as Han Solo and passing the baton to a new generation after Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Warning: Spoilers for Star Wars: The Force Awakens follow.

In an interview with The New York Times, Ford opened up about departing the franchise as Han Solo and how he didn’t really care about passing the torch to a new generation. “I don’t know that I thought of it that way at all,” Ford said. “I was there to die. And I didn’t really give a rat’s ass who got my sword.”

Bethesda E3 2018 Press Conference Time and Date Announced

Bethesda will be hosting another E3 showcase this year, and has confirmed the time and date of the event.

In an invite sent out, Bethesda revealed the press conference will be held on Sunday, June 10 at 6:30 p.m. PT/9:30 p.m. ET/2:30 a.m. GMT on June 11/11:30 a.m. AEST on June 11.

Bethesda’s E3 invite

The paper craft pop-up invite this year includes a cityscape theme. Last year at E3, Bethesda’s showcase included a “Bethesdaland” theme park aesthetic, with different aspects of the park themed after different Bethesda properties. While the buildings in this invitation are not all themed after different franchises, characters from a host of Bethesda series, including Fallout, Prey, and The Elder Scrolls, can be seen in the front of the invitation.

Another Fortnite Update Released, Here’s What It Does (Not Much)

Fortnite’s 3.1.0 update only dropped just recently, but already it’s been superseded by another patch. Update 3.1.1 is out now on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, but it doesn’t do a huge amount.

Developer Epic said on Twitter that the patch is designed to “fix client crashes some players are experiencing.” Nothing else is included in the patch, since all the new content–such as a new point of interest and a new gun–was included in the previous update.

The new point of interest is called Lucky Landing, located on the southern edge of the island. Elsewhere the drop rates of various guns were adjusted: you’re 20% less likely to find a common burst assault rifle, for example, but 150% more likely to find a rare one than before. Some loot drops were tweaked too; fewer chests will appear in Snobby Shores, Tilted Towers, and Industrial Plot from now on. The patch was supposed to see the introduction of jetpacks, but those have been delayed to an unknown date due to a design issue that developer Epic discovered very late on.

Following last week’s 3.0.0 update, Season 3 of Fortnite: Battle Royale is now underway, giving players a new Battle Pass and rewards to unlock. This season’s Battle Pass features 30 additional tiers–you can see all of the new Battle Royale rewards there are to unlock in our gallery. Players can also take part in Fortnite: Battle Royale’s latest limited-time mode, Solid Gold. Finally, you can currently grab some free Fortnite items with Twitch Prime.
