No One Can Work Out If Eminem’s New Album Samples Kingdom Hearts Or Not
There’s a familiar sample on Eminem’s new album, and it’s left a lot of people confused about where it came from.
This tricky tale was first kicked off by producer IllaDaProducer in an interview with Rolling Stone about his work on Eminem’s new album, Kamikaze.
When asked about the chopped-up sample on track 12, ‘Good Guy’ (listen to a clip below), IllaDaProducer said: “That’s me doing my video game thing. Kingdom Hearts. It’s a Japanese video game, and that’s the theme song from it. It’s one of the dopest melodies I’ve ever heard. Shout out Japanese video games and Japanimation for inspiration.”
Anthem’s Story DLC Will Be Free
Bioware has confirmed that although its upcoming multiplayer action-RPG Anthem will feature post-launch story content, all of these releases will be free of charge.
The news comes courtesy of GameRant, which reports that Bioware made the announcement during its PAX West Panel.
Bioware hasn’t given any further details about what Anthem’s post-launch content will look like, but given that the announcement has specifically mentioned that there will be no charge for story content it’s likely there will be some sort of paid DLC on the horizon. Bioware has previously insisted that the game won’t feature loot boxes and won’t give players the ability to “pay for power”, but that doesn’t rule out cosmetic enhancements of some sort dropping as part of a paid DLC package.
Spider-Man PS4 Teaser Reveals Black Cat In First DLC
Sony has released a short video teasing the first DLC for Marvel’s Spider-Man, the upcoming open-world action game developed by Insomniac Games exclusively for the PS4. The video, which you can watch above, offers the first look at Felicia Hardy, better known as Black Cat, sometimes-villain and love interest for Spider-Man. The teaser shows Felicia inviting Spidey to chase and capture her, and we get a glimpse at a sequence where the web-slinger is running along the side of a moving train.
The first DLC for Marvel’s Spider-Man is called “The Heist” and will be available from October 23. “As you play the base game, you’ll realize that Felicia Hardy, aka Black Cat, is back in town and she’s leaving clues around town to toy with Spider-Man,” James Stevenson, community director at Insomniac, previously explained. “In Marvel’s Spider-Man: The Heist, she finally reveals herself. Featuring new missions and challenges, as well as a brand new faction of enemies and three additional suits to unlock.”
This DLC is chapter one in a three-part series that, as a whole, Insomniac is referring to as “The City That Never Sleeps.” The second DLC chapter is called “Turf Wars” and launches in November. The third part of the series is titled “Silver Lining” and is set to arrive in December. A bundle that has all three chapters is available now on the US PlayStation Store for $25. However, individual chapters can also be purchased for $10 each when they’re released. A Digital Deluxe version of the game is also available for $80/£65, and it has the full game as well as all the DLC.
Discussing game length, Stevenson previously confirmed how long Spider-Man takes to complete, saying it’s around 20 hours for the main campaign and side-quests on the default difficulty. However, those who want to be completionists will spend “a lot longer” in the game.
Spider-Man launches on September 7 and reviews will be published on September 4 at 7:00 AM PT / 10:00 AM ET.
Die Hard 6 Will Be Called ‘McClane’
Die Hard 6 will officially be called “McClane.”
Speaking to Empire, the film’s producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura revealed the title while also confirming Bruce Willis will heavily feature in the movie.
Die Hard 6, originally rumored to be called Die Hard: Year One, will follow a 60-year-old McClane and a younger McClane in his 20s as well. But despite the supposed time jumps, di Bonaventura has reassured fans Willis will still have a large role in the film.
“I don’t know how you do Die Hard without Bruce,” di Bonaventura said. “The idea that he’s not very significant in this movie is not accurate at all. We are gonna explore John McClane in his twenties. But just as prominent is the 60-year-old version.”
Guardians 3’s Dave Bautista: ‘I Don’t Know If I Want To Work For Disney’
Dave Bautista is unsure if he wants to work for Disney on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 following James Gunn’s recent firing.
While on the Jonathan Ross Show, Bautista touched on his future with the Guardians franchise, reiterating that he’s not too happy with the way Disney has treated Gunn.
“Yeah there’s a bit of an issue, it’s a bitter-sweet conversation,” Bautista said. “Um, no it’s a bitter-bitter conversation because I’m not really happy with what they’ve done with James Gunn. They’re putting the movie off. It’s on hold indefinitely and to be honest with you, I don’t know if I want to work for Disney.”
