Football Manager 2019 is coming to PC on November 2, and in a series first, the title will include the German league this year.
Sports Interactive has announced a few new additions and changes, the biggest one being the acquisition of the DFL Bundesliga license for the first time in the history of the series. The iconic ‘Manager Man’ who has traditionally graced the cover of every game since 2005 has also been relegated to the dusty recesses of our memory, and is being replaced with “a manager’s eye view of the pitch as the gaffer and players head down the tunnel ahead of a big match.” The logo has also gotten a revamp.
Henry Cavill has told IGN that he’d be interested in the role of Geralt in Netflix’s forthcoming adaptation of The Witcher.
Cavill has been pretty open in the past about his love of Skyrim and World of Warcraft. (Famously he ignored a call from Zach Snyder to tell him he’d won the role of Superman in 2013’s Man of Steel because he was playing WoW.)
So at a recent junket for Mission: Impossible – Fallout, IGN asked Cavill what he was busy playing these days.
“The Witcher 3. I just replayed all the way through,” said Cavill. “Love that game. Really good game.”
Donald Glover was working on an animated Deadpool TV show, but in March this year, the project fell apart. The show was set to air on FX, and now the network’s CEO has come forward to talk about why the program got the ax. It was Marvel’s decision, John Landgraf told Variety.
He said Marvel didn’t want to move forward on the show that Glover and his brother, Stephen, were working on. FX would have been happy to have it, but Marvel reportedly shut it down.
“[Marvel] didn’t want to do the show that Donald and Stephen [Glover] wrote,” Landgraf said. “We would have done show that Donald and Stephen wrote, but it wasn’t our decision. When Marvel decided not to do that show, we parted company with them as did Donald and Stephen. Now it’s totally up to them [Marvel] whether they hire someone else to do a different show.”
While the show isn’t expected to get revived at FX, Landgraf said he thinks Marvel will move forward with the concept of an animated Deadpool TV show eventually. “I think that Marvel will revive it, because they have the rights,” he said. “They own the IP and they have the rights to do an animated adult series based on any of the X-Men characters, and based on Deadpool specifically.”
Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld previously told Variety that Donald Glover is a “genius” and that he’s very sad his Deadpool animated TV show is not going to happen. “I’ll always wonder how that would have worked out,” he said.
Donald and Stephen Glover, as well as FX, released a statement in March saying the Deadpool show was canceled due to “creative differences” with Marvel, though it remains to be seen what those were. The canceled show was to run for 10 episodes in its first season, which was pegged to premiere in 2018 on FX sister channel FXX. Glover and his brother Stephen were tapped to be the program’s showrunners, producers, and writers.
It would have been the second TV collaboration between FX and Marvel, following Legion in 2017. FX co-president of original programming Nick Grad said when the Deadpool show was announced that the program was aiming to be “bold, striking, and entirely original.”
Deadpool 2 his theaters back in May, and it’s made more than $730 million worldwide so you can pretty much expect that a third movie is on the way. Indeed, all the way back in 2016, a report said Deadpool 3 was being planned.

It’s a shame that the best shows on Adult Swim also seem to be the ones with the longest breaks between seasons. It’s been roughly two-and-a-half years since The Venture Bros. Season 6 wrapped, which his basically par for the course at this point. Fortunately, the series never seems to lose its momentum or energy despite those long stretches of down time. “The Venture Bros. & The Curse of the Haunted Problem” offers a zany and deceptively ambitious gateway back into this always entertaining universe.
Where Season 6 delivered a major status quo shift for the series, Season 7 picked up more or less right where things left off in March 2016. That’s to be expected given that Season 6 didn’t wrap up so much as it abruptly stopped when creators Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer ran out of episodes. For the most part, the characters are all right where we left them, with the Venture family enjoying its new Manhattan headquarters and the supervillain community cowering in fear of the threat of Blue Morpho. But rather than dive into a plot-heavy continuation of Season 6, Publick and Hammer started slow with an amusing, horror-flavored episode that parodied bits of The Exorcist, Poltergeist, 2001: A Space Odyssey and The Godfather.
Capcom has announced the next two characters coming to Street Fighter 5: G and Sagat. While both characters were already revealed, their release dates were unclear. At EVO 2018, however, it was confirmed that both characters will be available on August 6. You can watch the trailer for Sagat above and G below.
G is a brand new character to the fighting game series and is the self-styled president of the world. More information about him was provided on the Capcom Unity blog, where he’s described as “a mysterious new character who wishes to unify the world as its president. He decides to spread his message in ways the modern world can understand: through social media.
“Initially, he doesn’t receive much attention until Rashid comes across his videos and decides to help amplify G’s message to the people. That being said, there’s much more to G than meets the eye.” The blog continues: “G has a unique move set that utilizes his role as the President of the World and his mysterious origins. During a fight, his Presidentiality level can be seen next to the V-Gauge in the form of an icon representing the Earth. By using G Charge, G absorbs power from the Earth to increase his Presidentiality level to 3. The higher his Presidentiality level is, the more powerful his special moves are. However, if G is knocked down, the Presidentiality level will go down.”

Sagat, meanwhile, is one of Street Fighter’s most iconic characters and a fan-favorite. His latest incarnation looks to be as fearsome as ever, with high damage potential and the ability to control space with his Tiger Shots.
“In Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition, Sagat has become a hermit in a secluded village and must overcome his inner demons,” Capcom explains. “Sagat’s iconic move set remains true to his past appearances in the Street Fighter series. Tiger Shot is a projectile that changes speeds depending on which punch button you press and cannot hit crouching opponents. Grand Tiger Shot (Low Tiger Shot in previous titles) can hit crouching opponents, but deals less damage and is less safe. Tiger Uppercut is a dragon punch-style attack that can be used as an anti-air or a reversal. Tiger Knee Crush (Tiger Knee in previous titles) is a quick lunge that can close the distance between Sagat and his opponent.”
Both G and Sagat are available individually for $6/£6 or 100,000 Fight Money or as part of the Season 3 Character Pass for $30/£25. This pass also unlocks access to Sakura, Blanka, Falke, and Cody. Purchasing the characters also gives you their Battle Costumes with colors 3-10 and default costume colors 3-10.
Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition is a new, updated version of its Capcom’s flagship fighting game. In GameSpot’s Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition review we awarded the game a 9/10, saying it finally “feels like a complete package,” after being quite barebones at launch.
“It has always been a strong fighting game that continues to get better over time, but it remained a game for genre enthusiasts. Arcade Edition, however, is a game that you can confidently recommend to anyone. Two years after its launch, Street Fighter V is finally fighting fit.”
