Pokemon Sleep Has Started To Roll Out In Some Regions

Pokemon Sleep Has Started To Roll Out In Some Regions

Just like the launch of Pokemon Go back in 2016, Pokemon Sleep has started its full rollout with a surprise launch in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Latin America. As picked up by Kotaku Australia, the game is now available in full on both iOS and Android for players in all these regions, with other regions likely to get access soon. Pokemon Go has often launched new features and game modes early in Australia and New Zealand, due to the countries' limited populations. These regions were also part of the limited Pokemon Sleep beta last week, which was initially open to Android users from Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, and Canada, and later extended to a number of other Latin American countries. IT BEGINS. #PokemonSleep is now available in Australia, Canada, Latin America, and New Zealand for iOS and Android!!

Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic Both Blurs And Upholds The Franchise's Age-Old Binaries

Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic Both Blurs And Upholds The Franchise's Age-Old Binaries

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is celebrating its 20-year anniversary today, July 15, 2023. Below, we look at how it challenged and subverted some of Star Wars' most common tropes. Star Wars is obsessed with what machine and memory create, the blurred selves at the intersection of metal and flesh. Darth Vader is the clearest example of this. Anakin's descent to the dark side renders itself real in his deformed body. Obi-Wan says that he is "more machine than man," a fact that is leveraged in the stated impossibility of his redemption. Evil in Star Wars is associated with a disabled body, especially one that was once meat, muscle, and nerve, but is now wired with circuits. Droids cannot be "force-sensitive" the way people can, and thus they don't bear the moral weight of metal. But they are still seen as lesser. Droids provide slave labor and are owned by heroes and villains alike. A New Hope establishes within the first 20 minutes that droids' memories are routinely wiped. Luke's uncle Owen suggests it with the casualness of asking Luke to take out the trash. In the Star Wars universe, there is an entire class of people whose capacity to remember is entirely dependent upon the people who own them. Both inside and outside of its fiction, the perceived personhood of sentient beings relies on whether or not you are made of metal.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Days after defeating the FTC’s challenge to its purchase of Activision Blizzard--and one day before its scheduled meeting with the UK’s CMA--Microsoft has reached an agreement with Sony to keep the Call Of Duty franchise on PlayStation post-merger.

Mission: Impossible 7 Star Hayley Atwell Talks About "Frustrating" Doctor Strange 2 Cameo

Mission: Impossible 7 Star Hayley Atwell Talks About "Frustrating" Doctor Strange 2 Cameo

If Peggy Carter's appearance in Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness left a bad taste in your mouth, you're not alone. Actress Hayley Atwell has expressed that her cameo as Captain Carter was a "frustrating moment" since she didn't get to do much as the superhero. More spoilers follow for Doctor Strange 2 and Marvel's What If...? below. Speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast (and spotted by IGN), Atwell seemed let down by the fate of Peggy in the Doctor Strange sequel. "When she was like, 'I could do this all day,' and then followed by she's immediately cut in half by a frisbee," the actress said. "And the audience being like, 'She can't do it all day. Apparently, you can't, so egg on your face.' That doesn't really serve Peggy very well."Continue Reading at GameSpot

One Of Star Wars' Darkest Moments Is Now A Christmas Ornament

One Of Star Wars' Darkest Moments Is Now A Christmas Ornament

The holidays have so many ideas and memories associated with them--being home with family, winter snowfall, gift giving, big meals, and watching your true love get frozen in carbonite. That last part is only the case if you let Hallmark have its way with its new Keepsake Ornament. You could hang little tiny candy canes, stockings, and other Christmas-related symbols around your tree, but what's the fun in that? For just $64.99, you can celebrate one of the most memorable moments in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back with your family. The ornament depicts the scene set in Cloud City in which Han Solo is about to be encased in carbonite. Han, Leia, Chewie, C-3PO, and of course, Darth Vader are all there. You can connect a Hallmark Keepsake Power Cord to light up the LED lights, and there's a button on board that you can push for a synchronized sound and light show that features movement and dialogue from the movie. Hallmark has gone hard on nerdy Keepsake Ornaments for a while now. This ornament will debut officially this weekend along with a slew of others as part of Hallmark's Ornament Premiere. Other pieces include Mando and Grogu flying together, a whole armful of Disney's Haunted Mansion ornaments, Snoopy and Charlie Brown, Mario in his Cat suit, a bunch of Star Wars pieces, and of course, Dorothy from Golden Girls. This Star Wars ornament and a whole bunch of others will be available starting July 15, and this one retails for $64.99 (and an extra $14.99 for that power cord, which can connect to up to seven other ornaments, so you'd better pick out six more).

House Of The Dragon Season 2 Will Keep Shooting Despite Actors Strike

House Of The Dragon Season 2 Will Keep Shooting Despite Actors Strike

Apparently nothing stops the House of the Dragon train. A new report states that the HBO series will move ahead with filming Season 2 even after Hollywood actors and writers have gone on strike. According to Variety, sources informed the publication that UK actors--who make up a lot of the cast--can keep shooting House of the Dragon because they have contracts with a local union called Equity. Reportedly, Equity members are prohibited from joining the picket lines with SAG-AFTRA. Hollywood actors officially went on strike today, the group's first on since 1980. Equity issued a statement and advice about the Hollywood actors strike on its website, where it says the union represents 47,000 people. "Equity stands full square behind our sister union in their claim, and the action their board have agreed to take," the UK union statement says. "Equity too is experiencing bullish engagers attempting to undermine its collectively bargained agreements. SAG-AFTRA has our total solidarity in this fight."Continue Reading at GameSpot

Genshin Impact Voice Actors Say They Haven't Been Paid In Months

Genshin Impact Voice Actors Say They Haven't Been Paid In Months

Despite the game's massive financial success, several Genshin Impact voice actors claim they aren't being paid. According to statements from various voice actors involved with the project, the game's developer, HoYoverse, is allegedly paying its voice actors poorly--and sometimes not paying them at all. Two voice actors have come forward publicly to share their experience with the studio on Twitter. Corina Boettger--the voice behind the popular NPC named Paimon--says the studio owes her thousands, and Brandon Winckler (who voices a number of minor roles) has shared a similar story after ultimately deciding to leave the production. After a fifth email with no response, This is regarding Genshin Impact. Inexcusable for us as actors to be waiting 4+ months for pay when you make $86 million per month. Unfortunately, this is not an uncommon problem- (thread) https://t.co/BPBW3WibG9 — Brandon Winckler (@BWincklerVA) July 13, 2023 Boettger weighed in on the situation with a Twitter thread of her own, stating she hasn't been paid in "months," before adding, "Just to be clear, we don't know if this is the fault of the studio, or the game company. But regardless, if the game was union this wouldn't happen."Continue Reading at GameSpot

How Cyberpunk 2077's Controversial Sinnerman Quest Was Created

How Cyberpunk 2077's Controversial Sinnerman Quest Was Created

Cyberpunk 2077's locale of Night City had no shortage of interesting stories, and in one of the more fascinating tales, players got to experience a strange saga of justice and redemption. Sinnerman starts off with what seems to be a straight-forward revenge plot gone wrong, but as quest director Pawel Sasko explained in a new Audio Logs video, there's an incredible amount of nuanced work happening in this quest that subtly guides the player. As Sasko explained, every character movement, line, and even a seemingly stray ray of light serve a purpose in setting up this quest, in which you're introduced to convicted murderer Joshua Stephenson. This entire quest, and its two accompanying missions that end with an actual crucifixion that you can play a part in if you see it through to the end, tie into themes of existentialism that are woven throughout Cyberpunk 2077's world. While Stephenson never claims to be a messianic figure, his quests are littered with iconic moments and characters pulled from the Christian Bible. Stephenson has a moment to grab a meal before his execution that's directly inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper painting, and he even has his own Judas accompanying him. Eventually, the quest leads to one of the more empathic moments of Cyberpunk 2077 as you're given a chance to join Stephenson in prayer, and even here, players are given a choice as to how they want to approach a spiritual moment in the game.Continue Reading at GameSpot

FTC Moves To Appeal This Week's Microsoft/Activision Blizzard Court Decision

Following Microsoft's recent win against the Federal Trade Committee in US federal court, the company may once again be taken to the stand. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has moved to appeal the recent court order ruling not to grant the temporary injunction on Microsoft that the FTC was seeking. As reported by The Verge, the FTC has filed a notice that the committee is appealing Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley's decision. The FTC's full argument against the decision will not be revealed until the appeal is submitted to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. This news comes a mere day after Microsoft won its court battle against the FTC, with Judge Corley ultimately ruling that Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard would not "substantially lessen competition" in the games industry.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Old CoD Games' Matchmaking Might Have Been Fixed

Old CoD Games' Matchmaking Might Have Been Fixed

It appears that matchmaking for older Call of Duty games, including Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Modern Warfare 2, and Modern Warfare 3, has been fixed on Xbox 360. Previously, Xbox 360 players were unable to load into matches, despite the active communities across each game. This comes by way of a tweet from Zekco Trickshots, who shared a video featuring the matchmaking for older Call of Duty games functioning properly. In the video, Zekco can be seen loading into matches across all three games in the original Modern Warfare trilogy with no problems.

James Gunn Reveals What Chris Pratt's Star-Lord Movie Is About - Report

Director James Gunn has shed light on the storyline for a potential Star-Lord movie featuring Chris Pratt, as reported by The Direct. In the recently released digital version of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Gunn confirmed that he and Pratt have discussed the idea of Legendary Star-Lord film. The plot would center around Star-Lord's struggle to adapt to life on Earth. Gunn expressed his excitement about exploring the concept, stating, "Chris and I, forever, have talked about how great it would be to be able to do a Legendary Star-Lord movie, a story with Star-Lord on Earth trying to adapt to the environment of Earth in the same way that somebody else might try to adapt to the alien environment of outer space. He's a fish out of water in just kind of regular water. So I can't wait to see it." The revelation came in the form of a post-credits scene in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which hinted at Star-Lord's return. The scene portrayed Peter Quill, played by Pratt, beginning to adjust to his life on Earth. Sitting down for breakfast with his grandfather, portrayed by Gregg Henry, they engage in conversation while holding a newspaper featuring a playful reference to Kevin Bacon's abduction in the Disney+ Holiday Special.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Get The Meta Quest 2 For Just $300 In This Prime Day Deal

A new Meta Quest headset is on the way later this year, but there's still plenty of life left in the current Quest 2 VR headset. For Prime Day 2023, Amazon has discounted the 128GB Quest 2 128GB model from $350 to $300, and the 256GB model from $400 to $350. As an added bonus, you'll also receive a $50 gift card that can be used for future purchases from Amazon.Meta Quest 2 * Meta Quest 2 (128GB) -- $300 ($350) * Meta Quest 2 (128GB) -- $350 ($400) The Quest 2 has been one of the more popular virtual reality headsets since it first launched in October 2020, and after several years on the market, it now has a sizable library of VR games and apps. This version of the headset features 3D positional audio, hand tracking, and haptic feedback in a wireless frame. Unlike other VR headsets, you won't need a PC or console to use it, and it has a built-in battery for when you want to roam around virtual reality. It also comes with two controllers for interacting in games and social spaces. "The Oculus Quest is a special device. While it doesn't match up with the beefiest of VR-ready PCs, it's still able to compete with them in the experience it provides, thanks primarily to the wireless freedom it grants its user," Mat Paget wrote in GameSpot's Quest 2 review. "Playing a VR game without worrying about a cable or external sensors is liberating in a way that makes it significantly easier to lose yourself in an experience for hours--or at least until the battery dies."Continue Reading at GameSpot

Pokemon Go Developer Niantic Accused Of "Sexist Work Culture" In Lawsuit

Pokemon Go Developer Niantic Accused Of "Sexist Work Culture" In Lawsuit

Pokemon Go developer Niantic is being sued by a former employee alleging a "sexist work culture" where she was paid less than male colleagues, despite having a higher position and having been at the company for longer. As reported by The Verge, the anonymous employee, referred to as Jane Doe, is seeking class-action status for the lawsuit. Class-action status would enable employees affected by Niantic's alleged "boys club" mentality to be compensated for damages and lost pay stemming from being underpaid and passed over for promotions due to the company's discriminatory workplace culture, according to the lawsuit. The aforementioned Jane Doe worked at Niantic from 2020 until last week, when the company laid off more than 200 employees, including Doe. In 2021, she alleges she was making $81,000 a year, but learned that a male colleague who had been hired more recently and at a lower-ranking position was earning more than her. The male colleague continued to make more than Doe in 2022 and 2023 even after she was given raises. It was earlier this year that Doe noticed a job listing for her position that included a salary range, and realized she was being paid $10,000 less than the bottom of the range listed.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Diablo 4 Helltide Chests Stop Dropping Uber Uniques For Now After They Became Too Common

Blizzard is pausing Uber Unique drops from Helltide Chests in Diablo 4 right after implementing a new patch that was supposed to make it easier to earn them.

Sonic Co-Creator Yuji Naka Sentenced For Insider Trading, Can Avoid Jail Time

Sonic Co-Creator Yuji Naka Sentenced For Insider Trading, Can Avoid Jail Time

The weird tale of an iconic former Sega developer who used insider information at Square Enix for stock trading has come to a close. Yuji Naka, co-creator of Sonic the Hedgehog and most recently the director of Balan Wonderworld, was given a two-and-a-half year prison sentence that's suspended for four years. Jiji Press (via IGN) reports that Naka--who also worked on Nights Into Dreams and Phantasy Star Online--was found guilty of insider trading while employed at Square Enix. That means he broke the law under Japan's Financial Instruments and Exchange Act. His suspended sentence gives Naka the chance to avoid jail time by staying out of trouble during the four-year probation period. However, Naka was fined twice for an estimated $1.2 million (after converting from yen). This stems from the Sonic co-creator actually being arrested twice late last year. He was first apprehended for insider trading at Square Enix by purchasing stock in a developer named Aiming that was working on an unannounced Dragon Quest mobile game at the time. Then in December 2022, Naka was arrested again for a similar charge by investing money in the developer behind Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier before that game was officially unveiled.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Nintendo Switch Sets New Sales Record Six Years After Release In Japan

Nintendo Switch Sets New Sales Record Six Years After Release In Japan

More than six years after the console originally launched in March 2017, the Nintendo Switch has just set another sales record. According to Nikkei, Nintendo sold more units in June 2023 than it had for any previous June since the console was released years ago.

This Goldfish Is Better Than You'll Ever Be At Elden Ring

Malenia is a name that still strikes fear into the hearts of many an Elden Ring player, but the legendary boss has met her match in the form of a plucky goldfish. Tortellini, under the guidance of Twitch streamer and YouTuber PointCrow, just managed to defeat the dreaded warrior in her first phase, seemingly without breaking a fishy sweat. How is Tortellini capable of such a feat? According to PointCrow, a lot of coaching has helped Tortellini master the controls of Elden Ring, and depending on its position in the tank when it swims across controls mapped to the game, it's able to take on Elden Ring bosses with aquatic grace. "Depending on where Tortellini is in the tank, he'll press a button on a controller which will control Elden Ring," PointCrow explained in a stream (via GamesRadar). my goldfish beat the first phase of malenia LMAO pic.twitter.com/d0FD6jHg0U — eric pointcrow (@PointCrow) July 4, 2023 video will be out sometime in the next week! — eric pointcrow (@PointCrow) July 4, 2023 Continue Reading at GameSpot

Don't Expect A New Kid Icarus Game, Says Uprising And Smash Bros. Director

Don't Expect A New Kid Icarus Game, Says Uprising And Smash Bros. Director

It's been over a decade since Kid Icarus: Uprising, and the wait for another game in the franchise has no end in sight. So don't expect to see Pit outside of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate anytime soon, according to Masahiro Sakurai. Spotted by Eurogamer, Sakurai discussed the development of the 3DS exclusive on his YouTube channel. He directed and wrote Kid Icarus: Uprising, which released in 2012 and ended a 21-year drought for the franchise. Now, it's been another 11 years without a new game, and Sakurai--who's also directed the Smash Bros. series--has implied a new game starring Pit isn't likely. "It's a shame [Kid Icarus: Uprising] only lived on 3DS, as I'd love to play on a bigger screen with smoother graphics, but without a team to work on it, crafting a follow-up seems difficult," Sakurai said near the end of his latest video.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Pokemon Sleep Sign-Ups Are Live, And A New Trailer Teaches You How To Sleep

We've seen fitness games, brain training games, and even cooking games, but The Pokemon Company's next app, Pokemon Sleep, aims to turn sleep into a game, with pre-registrations now open on Android devices. Pokemon Sleep is a sleep-tracking app which measures a player's sleep pattern in one of three categories: Dozing, Sleeping, and Slumbering, with the type of sleep impacting which five Pokemon will join the main character Snorlax on a particular night. Each cycle lasts a week, with a new Snorlax appearing every Monday. Each night, the app will assign a sleep score--with a perfect 100 score reserved for 8.5 hours of sleep or more--which will impact the types of Pokemon that join Snorlax the next night. Snorlax can also be fed berries gathered by other Pokemon during daytime hours.Continue Reading at GameSpot

The Sims 4 Horse Ranch Expansion Lets You Raise Horses And Run A Vineyard

The Sims 4 Horse Ranch Expansion Lets You Raise Horses And Run A Vineyard

In the Sims 4 expansion Horse Ranch, you can raise and train horses, build with new farm and ranch-style materials, grow fruits and vegetables to make into wine, and even encounter ghost horses. All these features, as well as the new town of Chestnut Ridge, are shown off in a new trailer. Every horse, just like every sim, has needs that must be accommodated if they are going to survive and thrive. Horses can be aggressive or prickly as well as friendly and accommodating. The more your sim bonds with their horse, the easier it will be to do tricks. After your sims train their horses, you can enter them in competitions like barrel racing and jumping. Horses can have foals, which will inherit traits just like pets and sims. Your sims can ride their horses around town and explore nature trails. The expansion pack also adds additional animals, like mini goats and sheep. You can also grow and make nectar (read: wine) from a variety of base ingredients, like grapes, apples, and strawberries. You can even age your nectar to turn a higher profit. Your sim will mash the grapes (or whatever you are using) themselves. If taking care of your sim's horse or any of the work around the ranch becomes overwhelming, your sim can hire a ranch hand to help out around their property.Continue Reading at GameSpot

NBA 2K24 Cover Star Revealed As Kobe Bryant

NBA 2K24 isn't launching until September, presumably, but the annual hype cycle starts today with the reveal of one of the game's cover athletes. Visual Concepts and 2K Sports have announced that Kobe Bryant, the late great Lakers legend, will return to the cover of the series for the fourth time. He will be on the cover of the NBA 2K24 Black Mamba Edition and the standard edition, known this year as the Kobe Bryant Edition.

Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny Actor On Why She Was "Disappointed" Over Major Story Changes

Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny Actor On Why She Was "Disappointed" Over Major Story Changes

Before Steven Spielberg dropped out of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, the story was expected to be pretty different than what was ultimately delivered, according to an actor. James Mangold, the Oscar-nominated director who made Ford v Ferrari, Logan, and Walk the Line, stepped up to direct the movie after Spielberg bowed out. Along with the director change also came a change in the script, it seems. This story contains spoilers for The Dial of Destiny. Karen Allen returns in The Dial of Destiny to play Marion Ravenwood, but her part in the film was reportedly scaled back significantly. Allen told Variety she thought The Dial of Destiny would continue Marion and Indy's story after the dramatic events of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. For anyone unaware, that movie ended with Marion and Indiana Jones getting married after Marion revealed that Mutt (Shia LaBeouf) was his son. But in The Dial of Destiny, it is revealed that Marion and Indiana separated after Mutt was killed in the Vietnam War. Marion and Indy finally reunite at the end of The Dial of Destiny for a nice moment to wrap up Harrison Ford's time as the archaeologist adventurer.Continue Reading at GameSpot

In an interview with Deadline, Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal, stars of HBO's The Last of Us, discussed their experiences working on the highly anticipated series.

I've already crossed the threshold." Pascal--whose popularity has soared in recent years--chimed in, sharing his perspective on fame and advising Ramsey not to give it too much attention.
