Fortnite: Where To Place Boomboxes In Believer Beach

The alien welcoming committee is throwing a party in Fortnite Week 3, and that means you’ll need to place boomboxes in Believer Beach so they feel appreciated. Sunny is leading this pro-alien movement, but you can find others who seem to approve of the festivities, like Joey, the alien in a human disguise, and Beach Brutus, which is admittedly more intriguing. While we unravel the story some more, here’s where you can find all Fortnite boombox locations in Believer Beach.

Place Boomboxes In Believer Beach

Believer Beach is the hub for the pro-alien movement in the Fortnite Season 7 storyline. With bounce pads featuring little green men, balloons, and several NPCs partying on location, it’s just missing one thing: music. You’ll need to place just two boomboxes at Believer Beach, and there are a total of four within the locale’s borders. They’re well spread out, so pick the two that make the most sense to you in order to complete this Week 3 Legendary Quest. You can find boomboxes in Fortnite at the following locations:

  • Right beside the fanmade crop circle east of the boardwalk
  • Near the outdoor dance floor at the center of the location
  • Near the southwest corner of the boardwalk
  • Leaned up against the pole near the bus and southern white fence

Remember, any two of these will do, so don’t sweat trying to track them all down. The two in the middle are nice and close by and can help you complete this challenge in a matter of seconds after landing. As always, you’re at the mercy of other players and AI enemies letting you do what you want, but we recommend trying this one (and really most challenges) in Team Rumble.

A lot of players use Team Rumble to complete challenges. It seems Epic was hip to that trend and tried to change Team Rumble for Fortnite Season 7, closing the storm faster and starting with some areas automatically in the storm. Thankfully, even if you find yourself in the Storm in a hurry, you should have enough time to grab any two of these boomboxes.

Once you’re done with that, get a sneak peek at the full list of Week 3 challenges, as well as the Week 3 Alien Artifacts. The former will help you tier-up and earn more Battle Stars for your Battle Pass, while the latter will allow you to customize Kymera even more as the season goes on.

What’s New On Netflix In July 2021? Sexy Beasts, Dynasty Warriors, And More

Netflix is unleashing a slew of new content for July 2021. This includes a whole lot of Netflix Anime selections, the return of I Think You Should Leave, and a very bizarre new dating show. Check out all the new movies, TV shows, and original content coming to the streaming service in July below, along with a few recommendations.

If you love the intense action of the Dynasty Warriors series and yelling “Screw you, Lu Bu” at your TV, then you’re in luck. On July 1, Netflix is releasing a live-action Dynasty Warriors series, based on the gaming series from Koei Tecmo. The trailer from early June contains everything you love about the gaming series: battles against thousands of unworthy minions, epic fights between legendary characters, super-powered moves, and some real rad music. Check out the trailer below.

On July 21, Netflix has a new reality dating show with a twist. In Sexy Beasts, singles will go on a series of dates; however, they will be in full prosthetic makeup to look like animals, hiding their appearance. Is this really weird? Yep. Is it something you might want to check out? Of course, as Netflix has had a string of reality shows with interesting hooks that have done well in the past like The Circle and Too Hot To Handle.

Speaking of anthropomorphic animals, Season 2 of Beastars arrives on July 15. Based on the manga series of the same name, the show follows humanized animals at Cherryton Academy where a gentle wolf deals with his predatory urges. Additionally, there’s a murder at the school as well.

Finally, on July 6, Netflix’s best sketch comedy series I Think You Should Leave With Tim Robinson returns with Season 2. The first season of the show was a cult hit with people falling in love with Baby of the Year Candidate/resident bad boy Bart Harley Jarvis or wondering why Paul doesn’t have any good card ideas. You can see what Robinson has up his sleeve for Season 2 very soon and check out the first trailer and announcement video as well.

Below, you’ll find everything coming to Netflix for the month of July.

Nintendo Giving Forever Entertainment ‘Significant’ Financial Support to Publish More Switch Games

Forever Entertainment, the Polish publisher behind the Panzer Dragoon Remake and Fear Effect Sedna, has announced it will be publishing “several titles” on the Nintendo Switch through a partnership with Nintendo.

The announcement was published on Polish financial site Bankier and was spotted by WiredUpReport. No specifics about what games are included in this collaboration were given, nor who would develop them, but Forever will receive “significant” financial support from Nintendo to publish the titles.

IGN reached out to both Nintendo and Forever Entertainment for comment and confirmation of the news. Nintendo replied with the statement: “Nintendo is supporting Forever Entertainment via a fund for Nintendo Switch game development.” Forever Entertainment did not reply.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/31/panzer-dragoon-remake-review”]

Forever has already been responsible for publishing a hefty catalog of Switch releases, but Nintendo specifically paying out for multiple titles hints at something more going on than just a publisher releasing games on a platform. It’s worth pointing out that Forever also entered into a partnership with Square Enix earlier this year to publish multiple remakes of Square Enix Japan IP, though it’s unknown which games are involved there either.

Panzer Dragoon Remake launched last year, and in our review we felt it served as an interesting and accurate window into the original game, warts and all, but needed a bit more in the way of modernization.

Nvidia’s Canvas App Is Here to Transform Crappy Sketches into Photorealistic Artwork

If you have ever wanted to paint a photorealistic landscape portrait that Bob Ross would be proud of, but have next to no artistic skills, Nvidia’s new Canvas app will allow you to turn those dreams into reality.

Using GauGAN, an AI painting tool, the Canvas app allows users to paint by drawing lines and shapes across the virtual canvas. The AI will then transform every brushstroke into the material you wish to produce, such as clouds and grass.

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”slug=nvidia-canvas-app&captions=true”]

Canvas uses “materials” instead of colors, which allows you to expedite the artistic process and see your finished product a lot quicker. So, for example, if you created a body of water but wanted to add some big rocks into the picture, the Canvas app will allow you to draw the shape of a rock and paint it the appropriate material color, and the AI will generate the object into the picture in real-time and include appropriate water reflections.

The Canvas app is currently in beta and includes 15 materials and 9 styles and is available to download right now. Unfortunately, the app is only available to RTX graphics card owners, such as an RTX 20 series, the 20 Super variants, the Titan or Quadro RTX, and the RTX 30 series (provided you were lucky enough to snag one).

Forspoken Aiming to Have the ‘Highest Quality Visuals Ever’ in an Open-World Game

Luminous Productions aims for its upcoming game, Forspoken, to have the “highest quality visuals ever” in an open-world video game.

Talking as part of a video about AMD’s new FidelityFX Super Resolution technology, Luminous Production’s studio head and general manager, Takeshi Aramaki, said “With Forspoken, we are aiming to achieve the highest quality visuals ever seen in an open world game.”

“Our studio’s vision is ‘to create games unlike anything experienced before, fusing the world’s latest technologies with art.’,” he said. “Implementing cutting edge AMD technology in the development of Forspoken is an embodiment of that philosophy.”

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/06/23/forspoken-amd-tech-showcase”]

Aramaki notes that the new AMD technology has allowed a “significant performance boost when running Forspoken at 4K 60fps.”

The results of this can be seen in the video, which shows some new gameplay from Forspoken, running at 60 frames per second. While the gameplay is new, it sadly just shows off more things we’ve already seen, including the fluid movement and a fight with the large, golem-like creatures seen at the end of Forspoken’s previous trailer.

AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution technology is a new system that helps provide a performance boost to videogames. It works through supersampling, a system by which a lower-resolution image is upscaled to a larger resolution, meaning that the hardware only needs to render a smaller image. Because processing power is not being used to push resolution, it can instead be used to push performance, allowing 4K images at 60FPS to be more easily achieved. That’s the very simplified version, at least.

Forspoken was sadly missing from the Square Enix E3 2021 presentation. As such, the last we heard of it was at Square Enix Presents Spring 2021, where it was revealed that Project Athia is now Forspoken. The game is set to launch in 2022 on PC and PS5 as a console exclusive for at least two years.

10 Minutes Of Scarlet Nexus Gameplay With A Boss Fight

Get a glimpse of the 2nd mission in Scarlet Nexus. We play as Kasane Randall as we search for Kaguro. We fight our way through various enemies using our powers. Get a glimpse of 10 minutes of gameplay in Scarlet Nexus releasing on June 25, 2021 for Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X and Series S.

Netflix’s Sexy Beasts Promises Animal Lust, Horrifying Costumes

Netflix has officially declared July 21 to this day forth be known as the premiere date for Sexy Beasts, an upcoming reality series that is sure to freak a lot of people out. Think Masked Singer meets Love is Blind, but then think of that pairing again as a million times weirder than you’d ever imagine.

In Sexy Beasts, singles head into blind dates after they have been transformed into animals and other mythical creatures via Hollywood movie prosthetics. Contestants will choose between three potential matches, and will only see the real face of their beloved after they have made their final decision. Check out the trailer recently shared on Netflix, which in a further twist at the end reveals that under the prosthetics, pretty much all the contestants look like models–really makes you think about checking your biases on judging a panda-book by the cover, huh?

Variety recently reported that the streaming service has picked up Sexy Beasts for two seasons, with comedian Rob Delaney (Catastrophe) serving as narrator. A six-episode Season 1 will release on July 21, with a second six-episode season to follow later this year. Across both seasons, 48 makeup designs were created by prosthetic artist Kristyan Mallet (Mission Impossible).

“Making Sexy Beasts for Netflix has been an incredibly exciting process,” says Simon Welton, creator and executive producer (via Variety). “With an international cast featuring some truly brilliant characters, a host of prosthetics which look extraordinary in 4K… viewers are in for a real treat. I hope the show puts a smile on peoples’ faces as they play along to discover who’ll fall in love with who, and what our cast all really look like.”

Scarlet Nexus Launch Trailer Gives The Anime-Influenced Game A Live-Action Makeover

Scarlet Nexus launches this Friday on PC and console, and in typical fashion for any anime-related project, the game already has a live-action adaptation to watch. More specifically, there’s a cinematic trailer that mixes real actors with special effects and practical models to set the tone for Scarlet Nexus, as well as provide enough exposition to explain why monsters have fallen from the sky and are ravenous for human brains.

Reviews for the game are live now, with many outlets praising how Scarlet Nexus weaves action and style with an engaging story. On GameSpot’s sister site Metacritic, Scarlet Nexus currently has a Metascore of 79 on PlayStation 5.

In our Scarlet Nexus preview, critic Michael Higham wrote that the “potential for a high-quality action game with slick anime-stylings” has been seen before, but that the smaller gripes that accumulated throughout the experience made for an uneven game.

Scarlet Nexus–which definitely isn’t coming to Xbox Game Pass on day one–will be out on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S on June 25.

Fortnite: Where To Place Welcome Signs In Pleasant Park And Lazy Lake

In the Week 3 Legendary Quests, Fortnite players will be performing a number of actions related to Sunny’s pro-alien movement. One of them is to place welcome signs in Pleasant Park and Lazy Lake. There are 10 welcome signs you can possibly place, but you’ll only need to do four total to complete this Week 3 challenge. Here are all the Fortnite welcome sign locations.

Pleasant Park Welcome Sign Locations

The nice thing about this challenge is the 10 welcome signs are split, with five in each location. That means if you do it well enough, you need not travel to the second location. If your Battle Bus trajectory is more conducive to a Pleasant Park visit, here’s where you can find each of the five welcome sign locations.

  • Outside the northwestern house
  • On the sidewalk along the northeast
  • In the center of the location near the gathering area
  • Along the southwest side of the soccer field
  • In front of the biggest house along the western sidewalk

Lazy Lake Welcome Sign Locations

If instead you’re planning on dropping at Lazy Lake, there are five more available for you to still finish off this challenge in one go–assuming you can overcome other players or AI enemies as needed. Remember that you only need four in total, so even a single location has more than you’ll require. Here’s where to find all welcome signs in Lazy Lake.

  • Near the lakeside garage in the far northwest
  • On the sidewalk near the center north house
  • Near the security office in the northeast corner
  • On the sidewalk near a home on the southeast, before you go down the single lane driveway
  • Near the pool to the south
All welcome signs at Lazy Lake
All welcome signs at Lazy Lake

Once you’ve placed five in total, no matter which five you pick, you’ll have completed your third Legendary Quest for Week 3. This season’s Legendary Quests lean into the story more than past seasons, with a lot more NPC dialogue to take note of. We have a sneaking suspicion it’s the IO, not the aliens, people should be worried about, but for now Epic and the characters in-universe continue to paint aliens as aggressive invaders.

Time will tell what’s really going on, but you can gather clues for yourself with the Fortnite 17.10 patch notes, which include a way aboard the alien Mothership for the first time this season. While you’re at it, don’t forget to look over the complete list of Week 3 challenges and the Week 3 Alien Artifacts.

Warner Bros. Sells One Games Studio, But Says It Won’t Sell Any Others

Warner Bros. is selling its Playdemic Mobile Games studio to EA Games in an all-cash deal valued at $1.4 billion, the company announced today, but owner AT&T doesn’t have any plans to offload the rest. Questions about the future of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment’s future had arisen in light of recent news that WarnerMedia is merging with Discovery to create a new entertainment company. 

Playdemic Mobile Games, which is best known for its Golf Clash series, is one of several games studios that AT&T and WarnerMedia own, including Rocksteady Studios, NetherRealm Studios, Monolith Productions, WB Games Boston, Avalanche Software, and WB Games Montréal among others. Unlike those studios, however, Playdemic Mobile Games doesn’t work on properties tied to some of WarnerMedia’s most popular franchises, including DC, Harry Potter, or Game of Thrones. 

Some had speculated that Playdemic’s sale was just the start of a wider sell-off of Warner Bros. gaming companies – particularly after AT&T had mooted selling the gaming division as recently as last year. However, it seems that won’t be the case:

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/05/18/what-the-43b-warnermediadiscovery-deal-means-for-hbo-max-dc-comics-ign-the-fix-entertainment”]

“The remaining Warner Bros. Games portfolio is included in the recently announced WarnerMedia-Discovery transaction and will become part of the combined media and entertainment company after the expected close of that transaction,” a press release states. 

For EA, which already owns a substantial amount of mobile game studios and is trying to navigate its way in the space, having access to a game like Golf Clash is complementary to its business. The game boasts more than 80 million downloads, with EA noting in the press release announcing the news that “Playdemic’s expertise in building mobile games beloved by players around the world, combined with EA’s industry-leading IP, presents opportunities to expand the clash mechanic to other franchises and for future growth in mobile experiences.”

What the future of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment’s future looks like under the new Warner Bros. Discovery unit that’s being created is still unknown. But it’s apparent that they will have a continued place within the Warner Bros. family, as core franchises are built out across any and all mediums, from movies to gaming consoles.
