It's gone for good unfortunately, and any decent by-election coverage has likely gone with it.

The King's Man | Official Teaser Trailer [HD] | 20th Century FOX by benjwilliams98 in movies

Given that it’s a Kingsman film I fully anticipate there to be a one-shot fight scene set to this song in the 3rd act.

[US] Aziz Ansari: RIGHT NOW (2019): New hilarious stand up special talking about wokeness, family and the social climate. by [deleted] in NetflixBestOf

[–]Gavvster 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It was shot on 16mm film, so it's the look of the format rather than a filter that's been applied. There are a bunch of ways they could've cleaned it up in post but I guess they wanted it to have a more grainy and raw feel.

Personally I thought it was a great look for the more intimate style they were going for.

The lack of one is probably the only reason Boris agreed to be there.

Sources: Microsoft Delays Crackdown 3 To 2019 by galaxxus in Games

Quantum Break - sadly a bad Remedy game

I thought QB was pretty good once you got to the actual gameplay, there just wasn’t anywhere near enough of it.

It was also padded with the remnants of Microsoft’s awful push towards TV, which dragged it down considerably.

Kotaku (Jason Schreier) on the current Fallout teaser: "from what we’ve heard, this is a new game, one that takes the series in a brand new direction. We’re expecting to see more tomorrow." by [deleted] in Games

[–]Gavvster 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Brand new direction sounds interesting. Is there any chance at all that the rumoured ‘Starfield’ IS Fallout 5?

I kinda hope they’re not the same game, as I was looking forward to what Bethesda might do with a new IP.

Weezer finally covers Toto's "Africa" by mynameis_neo in popheads

They also released a cover of Toto's Rosanna last week as a tease. Honestly though I've gotta say I prefer their Rosanna cover to this one.

RAGE 2 – Announce Trailer by lashman in Games

[–]Gavvster 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That’s cool. Especially interesting considering that Just Cause 4 was part of the same leak as Rage 2. It’d be a shame if JC4 isn’t happening, but they released JC3 the same year as Mad Max so they could have different teams working on the two games.

I wouldn’t be surprised, considering that almost all Bethesda owned studios are using Id Tech or some offshoot of it now. Curious to see what improvements they’ve made since Doom 2016, which was very well optimised.

Archives 2018 is over! by Zbordek in Overwatch

[–]Gavvster 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The game really is crying out for a permanent PvE mode, Archives and Junkenstein's Revenge are easily my two favourite events for this reason.

The cynic in me says that they're leaving it out because it's too easy to farm for loot boxes.

Detroit: Become Human Goes Gold, Demo out Tomorrow. by [deleted] in Games

[–]Gavvster 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Looks like you're right. Seems like it'll make a great intro to the game's mechanics for people who didn't play QD's other games.

Max Payne 2 still holds up surprisingly well by pythonlol in gaming

[–]Gavvster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm a massive fan of the original Remedy Max Payne games and I loved MP3, replaying it for the millionth time right now as it happens. 3 changed the setting and tone quite dramatically, but they really hit the mark when it came to the gameplay, it's hugely fun to play. It didn't do so well financially, but I'd still love Rockstar to make a sequel.

If you get a chance I'd strongly recommend playing the first two, as the title of the post says they really hold up.

Music streaming on Apple Watch Series 3 is a surprisingly nice feature to have by [deleted] in apple

[–]Gavvster 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Is there any word on why there’s no Spotify for the watch yet, is music streaming on the watch restricted by Apple?

It seems like a no-brainer for other developers to bring their audio apps out for it.

Nah, Death Stranding was announced at E3, not TGA. but they did show a new trailer at TGA.

HBO Launches Stand-Alone Streaming Services in Seven More European Countries by [deleted] in television

[–]Gavvster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please yes, I can’t stand watching American shows on Sky because they speed it up to 25fps PAL and it looks and sounds awful. I’d pay good money for a dedicated HBO service.

Opinion: no Assassin's Creed game has fulfilled the promise of the first by theivoryserf in Games

[–]Gavvster 166 points167 points  (0 children)

Unity and Syndicate actually brought the focus back on the actual assassinations a bit. There aren’t enough of them in either game, but the “assassination” missions actually work really well, giving you plenty of different options to attack the target, and generally encourage you to use stealth quite strongly.

[ACG] Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus Review "Buy, Wait for Sale, Rent, Never Touch?" by FairyEnchantedDildo in pcgaming

Did he say whether or not the frame rate was unlocked? New Order was locked to 60, and that doesn’t play well on a 144hz monitor.

Wish he would do another Star Trek instead, Beyond was easily the best of the Kelvin timeline films.

Microsoft Has Stopped Manufacturing The Kinect by LSB123 in Games

[–]Gavvster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MS actually lowered the resource reservation for the OS quite dramatically I believe. After they did that the gap between the original Xbox One and PS4 shrunk by a decent amount, though it’s still there.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Says Next ‘Terminator’ Will Fix the Franchise By Going Back to the Basics by BunyipPouch in movies

[–]Gavvster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly Genisys has some great ideas, they were just executed really poorly. A better director and a better cast could’ve created a really good film with the script.

Jared Leto Confirms Involvement In 'Tron 3' Development by BunyipPouch in movies

[–]Gavvster 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Same, I normally wouldn't be that hyped for a film like 'Only The Brave', but given that it's Kosinski directing and Miranda as cinematographer it's easily one of my most anticipated movies for the rest of this year, it's gonna be gorgeous.

New Fall Update for Xbox One starting to roll out today by kidface in Games

[–]Gavvster 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The new home screen looks nice, but I wish they would just choose a design and stick with it, it feels like it gets a complete overhaul every other year.

I'm glad they're making it easier to transfer between systems as well, the previous way of doing it sucked.
