Ralph D’Amato joined Neversoft in 1998 and worked as a producer on the first eight Tony Hawk games. Then, 20 years later, he made a documentary about it. Pretending I’m a Superman: The Tony Hawk Video Game Story is the story of how Neversoft, Activision, and Tony Hawk built a juggernaut in the late ’90s and early 2000s, and between D’Amato’s access and Ludvig Gür’s direction, the film gives one...
There’s now a long and storied history of video game adaptations, from 1993’s Super Mario Bros. to, uh, 2023’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie. There’s also a litany of upcoming based-on-a-video-game movie projects, including planned adaptations of [deep breath] Gears of War, Ghost of Tsushima, Metal Gear Solid, Space Invaders, Death Stranding, and Just Dance. But of the ones already out there and watchable at home, which are worth your...
The Shrouds, the latest movie from horror legend David Cronenberg, certainly asks more questions than it answers. At the heart of it, funerary-tech entrepreneur Karsh (Vincent Cassel) is dealing with some sort of conspiracy — he’s just not sure what. See, Karsh is a widower who’s not quite ready to let his dearly departed wife go — in that she’s buried in his futuristic cemetery right next to where he’s dining...
The Switch 2 launch games lineup encompasses a bit more than just a new Mario Kart. When Nintendo formally unveiled the long-rumored Switch 2 in January, there was very little idea of what to expect at launch. Now that the June 5 Switch 2 release date is on the horizon, we have a fuller idea of what’s coming to the console on day one. Yes, there’s a new Mario Kart...
It didn't take long for Oblivion Remastered players to start pushing the boundaries to see what they could get away with. It only took three hours for someone to upload the first gooner mod, and now one player has managed to break through Cyrodiil's border into Valenwood and Hammerfell.Valenwood is to the southwest of Cyrodiil, Oblivion's location, and features in The Elder Scrolls Online. While it may be on the...
AI—that is, the annoyingly titled generative AI, which is super different from the AI we're used to in games, is also different from machine learning technology—has been a massive point of contention just about everywhere. In art, in music, in acting, and in coding. As a result, it's also been an issue in videogames, because they're a combination of all those things, regardless of what the boss of Amazon Games...
Larian's journey with Baldur's Gate is officially over. Oh, I'm sure there'll still be the odd bug fix, and who knows what might happen in the far future, but for now the studio is finally done adding free content to Baldur's Gate 3, there's no DLC or expansions coming, and it's not making Baldur's Gate 4. So the question is, what comes next? And in the wake of one of...
Waiting for a missed skin to return in the Fortnite shop is, at times, a trying task. Even more so if you're gunning for a collaboration—some return pretty regularly, while others disappear into the vault for hundreds or even thousands of days, often with no indication of when (or even if) they'll return.Take the Borderlands Psycho skin, for example. First introduced in August 2019—just before Borderlands 3 launched—it returned a...
I have a love-hate relationship with Stranger Things. Like many of my friends, I was fully charmed by the first season, but each subsequent season has filled me with growing frustration. The series touches on so many elements that cater to me specifically, like coming-of-age narratives threaded in with supernatural hijinks. But as Stranger Things’ scope has grown, all that good stuff has been buried by extra plot elements and...
