How Bonnie Ross Is Shaping the Future of Halo

343 Industries studio head and AIAS Hall of Famer Bonnie Ross discusses her entire career in this 70-minute interview, from her start on an NBA basketball game to how she came to ask for – and get – the keys to the Halo franchise, including the trials of Master Chief Collection and the lessons being applied to Halo Infinite. She discusses taking over Halo from Bungie, the mistakes of the Master Chief Collection, the reception of Halo 4, what they’ve learned from Halo 5, and what 343’s approach is for Halo Infinite.

If you’d rather listen than watch (but we encourage you to watch!), here’s an audio-only download link of the full episode.

Fortnite Season 8 Teaser 3 Continues The Pirate Theme

Epic Games has dropped another teaser for Fortnite Season 8. In keeping with the previous two, this one comes in the form of a short, cryptic poem, which is accompanied by an image that offers a peek at what is presumably a new skin coming in the new season.

“Awaken beasts / Of fire and ash / Battle it out / And loot the stash,” the poem reads, further reinforcing the pirate theme hinted at in Epic’s previous Season 8 teasers. The accompanying image, meanwhile, features a fearsome-looking tiger head in the background–presumably part of a new skin the developer is introducing to the game.

The previous two teasers thus far have suggested Season 8 will have a pirate theme, with references to treasure and “those who arrive on the waves,” although it’s unclear how this will translate to gameplay. Interestingly, when all of the teasers are combined, they form one large image of a skull, as pointed out below.

Epic has confirmed that Season 8’s start date is February 28, which means you have until then to complete any remaining Season 7 challenges. As an added incentive to do so, the developer is giving the Season 8 Battle Pass for free to players who finish Season 7’s Overtime challenges. The Battle Pass typically costs 950 V-Bucks, so this is a good opportunity to get it without have to spend any money.

In the lead up to Season 8, earthquakes have been occurring in the game. These first started following the release of Fortnite’s 7.30 update, and they’ve been growing in intensity since, so much so that cracks are now appearing in the island. What this portends for next season remains to be seen, but it’ll presumably lead to some significant changes to the map.

Rotten Tomatoes Bans Pre-Release User Input

Rotten Tomatoes has decided to remove the option for fans to comment and “rate” films via the site’s “want to see” feature before their release in an effort to stop users trashing films they haven’t seen yet.

The change is part of a site overhaul that’s intended to “more accurately and authentically represent the voice of fans, while protecting

data and public forums from bad actors,” explained a recent blog update. The update reads: “As of February 25, we will no longer show the ‘Want to See’ percentage score for a movie during its pre-release period. Why you might ask?  We’ve found that the ‘Want to See’ percentage score is often times confused with the ‘Audience Score’ percentage number.” The blog notes that the “Audience Score” percentage is the percentage of all users who have rated the movie show positively with a rating of 3.5 stars higher and is only shown once the film or TV show is released.

Escape Room 2 in the Works for 2020 Release

Escape Room is getting a sequel for release on April 17, 2020.

Deadline reports that Adam Robitel is returning to direct. He’ll be joined by the original film’s writer, Bragi F. Schut, and producer, Neal H. Moritz.

Escape Room released back in January and more than made back its $10 million budget, raking in $119 million at the worldwide box office.

Although it was filled with tropes, we gave the PG-13 thriller a 6.5/10 in our IGN review, calling it “A fun throwback to thrillers from the ’00s.”
