GTA 5 Update Brings A New Mode And Vehicle To GTA Online

By Anonymous on Mar 29, 2017 12:11 am

Grand Theft Auto V has received yet another update, with this one delivering more new content for GTA Online.

Resurrection is a new Adversary mode that plays out a lot like one we've seen in other games, including Gears of War 4's Dodgeball. It's essentially team deathmatch where you have only a single life, except killing a foe causes a teammate to be revived. The goal is to eliminate the entire enemy squad.

Resurrection can be played with teams of 4-8 players in seven different locations, including the Aircraft Carrier, RON Alternates Wind Farm, and Elysian Island. For a limited time, players will receive double GTA$ and RP from Resurrection matches.

Also new is the Pegassi Infernus Classic vehicle, which can be purchased through Legendary Motorsport. Rockstar's announcement today jokes, "Sure, its fuel consumption was recently designated a crime against humanity, and as far as safety features are concerned you might as well be driving round in a cluster bomb--but have you seen how pretty this thing is?"

Both of these additions are available now in GTA Online. A bonus event is also still going on for a bit longer.


Destiny Patch Notes Detail Everything New In The Age Of Triumph Update

By Anonymous on Mar 28, 2017 11:30 pm

Destiny's final live event, Age of Triumph, is now live alongside update 2.6.0. The accompanying patch notes lay out everything that's changed.

The major components of Age of Triumph have been detailed over the past few weeks: there are new quests to complete, gear to collect, updated Raids to conquer, and a record book to fill out. Beyond that, this patch also makes a variety of balance adjustments and introduces some quality-of-life changes.

These changes are all over the place, impacting vendors, bounties, and more. In addition to his usual lineup, Xur now sells two Exotic weapon bundles every week; completing weapon tests for the Gunsmith now provides more reputation; Moldering Shards and charged Antiquated Runes can be traded in to Eris Morn for Crota's Bane reputation; and many items from The Dawning update are available from Eververse. You can check out the full patch notes here.

The Age of Triumph update is meant to serve as a last hurrah of sorts for Destiny. It even brings back the classic main menu music, which is a nice touch.

While there might be small updates still to come, there won't be any major new content for Destiny going forward. Instead, we're getting a sequel later this year. Bungie teased Destiny 2 with an image yesterday, while leaked posters suggests a beta is coming prior to a full release in September.


Civilization 6 New Civs, Spring Update Available Today

By Anonymous on Mar 28, 2017 11:14 pm

It's a big day for Civilization VI players: The Persia and Macedon Civilization and Scenario Pack is now available, as is the Spring 2017 Update.

The new civs were unveiled last week and are now available for those who buy the premium DLC (unless you own the Civilization VI Deluxe Edition, which unlocks the DLC for free automatically). Persia, led by Cyrus II, has the Fall of Babylon ability, providing all Persian units with bonus movement after declaring a surprise war. Doing so also results in less of a diplomatic penalty than it does for other civs.

The other new civ, Macedon, is led by Alexander the Great. His Hellenistic Fusion ability provides a bonus after conquering a city, depending on the type of districts that city has built. He also provides a bonus that reduces the amount of war weariness Macedon suffers.

The DLC also comes with a new scenario, The Conquests of Alexander.

Meanwhile, Firaxis and 2K have released a Spring Update with a whole host of game tweaks. It's available now for PC, with Mac and Linux releases coming soon. Here are some of the major changes:

  • Warmonger penalties have been seriously reduced - players will receive 20% less of a warmongering penalty for declaring war or capturing a city when you've denounced the other player, or 40% less penalty for taking a city from a player you're at war with.
  • If you capture a city smaller than the average city in the game, your warmonger penalty is reduced too.
  • Harbors have been buffed to provide a major adjacency bonus with the City Center, +1 Food to all Coast tiles when the Lighthouse is built, and +2 Gold to all Coast tiles when the Seaport is built.
  • A UI issue that meant the multiplayer games list didn't show all available games has been fixed, and will now show games from additional regions.

Firaxis and 2K are also fixing several bugs in the Spring Update, including one that mistakenly referred to John Curtin as Australia's 'President' rather than 'Prime Minister' in the previous DLC's Outback Tycoon scenario. Check out the full patch notes over on Steam and read our glowing review of Civilization IV right here on GameSpot.


Method Man Voices New Call of Duty DLC; Also Talks How High 2, Hip-hop, And Gaming Roots

By Anonymous on Mar 28, 2017 10:38 pm

Two new voiceover packs released today for Activision's Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, one of which includes rapper, actor, and producer Clifford Smith, better known as Method Man. GameSpot was able to catch up with Wu Tang Clan's very own to talk about how he got involved with Call of Duty. We also had the chance to talk about games he's been playing, his upcoming roles in movies and television, and his thoughts on hip-hop today.

Hey, what's up Meth? Thanks for taking the time to speak with us. So, you're doing a voiceover pack for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. How did you end up doing this project?

Well, I got a call. As soon as I heard it was for Call of Duty, I was in. Full stop. Plus, I remember a Call of Duty game (Ghosts) where they had Snoop Dogg do the same thing. That was really good.

If I understand correctly, you play a little Call of Duty yourself. What sparked your interest in playing this game?

It started with SOCOM. When they stopped doing SOCOM at a point where it was still good, our clan leader switched over to Call of Duty. Because we were refusing to do anything besides SOCOM, he switched over to Call of Duty, and I'd say I was the last one to switch over, because I was still trying to play SOCOM. That's how it happened. He put us all on. Every time there were multiplayer shooter games, it was our clan leader that usually got us to switch over and play other games. But once we bought into Call of Duty, that was it.

Do you remember which Call of Duty you finally jumped in on?

It started with Black Ops, it was the first time I remember where I actually started playing at an efficient level, I actually started to get the game. Like, I usually wouldn't come back to games like that. And all the maps were small that I could navigate around. For anyone that was having trouble playing the other Call of Duty games before, that one there helped a whole lot 'cause up to that point I was just a camper.

Tell me about one of your best Call of Duty moments. Like, when things got real intense and you pulled through. What are some of your best moments playing?

A dude was talking mega s***. This is just what one dude, though. I think I was the last person left and it was two guys on the opposing team left, I mean, my team was watching and they was pretty much like "We lost this round." And I murdered both those dudes. Like, it was luck but I got both and it was justice for them talking s*** through the whole game! They were just like, you know, "Noob," and the s*** they usually just chat in multiplayer.

Another time was when I first got ten kills without dying. Ecstatic. Ecstatic. Matter of fact, they were all in between the houses, I caught the majority of the team camping. Flanked around them and just started laying dudes down! That was in Nuketown, so if you stand in the spawn spot, you can just hammer dudes! That was the first time I got ten straight kills without dying.

I imagine you're hyped up to do the voiceover pack. What can we expect from it? What kind of lines are you going to be dropping?

They had some lines open and they gave me the freedom to express myself, so to speak. It's a lot of, you know, I got my own flavor on what's coming out of my mouth. That's going to my flavor. And being someone that actually played the game, I know some of the lingo even though I haven't played in a while, since this new one came out. I haven't even been home long enough to really lock in.

Anything else you've been playing, besides Call of Duty?

I usually play something by myself. I play NBA 2K, of course. I like Sniper Elite. Just the usual games that get great ratings first, I f*** with them. I don't go for all of them, but one that I did pick up was Watch Dogs 2. That was up my alley, plus I had part one. When I get home, the first thing I do when I go on, I play a game of basketball, just one game. Then I play a game of MLB just to further my career, and then I play a game of Madden. Then I go into my other games which is usually Hitman or Watch Dogs.

I want to also talk a little bit about other things outside games. You have a pretty prominent acting career. I've seen your cameo in Luke Cage and you were in Keanu with Key and Peele. You got any other plans for acting right now that you can talk about?

Yeah. I mean, let's put it this way, I'm doing four TV shows. Three of them are done already and I'm currently shooting one called Drop the Mic for TBS, James Corden's production. I'm doing that with Haley Bolt and also I have three TV shows I've already shot. The Breaks is one of course, they're playing that now. The Deuce, which will be coming soon for HBO. And Rebel, which will be out March 28, that's the premiere so, if you want to check for your boy I'll be on four different channels! You've got to kind of surf channels, though.

What's the word on How High 2?

You know, I can't really say much about it, I have to let the powers that be do what they do. I know there are some people that want to see this movie made, a lot more fans that want to see it made. But myself and Redman want to see it made correctly and if it's not made correctly then why even bother? Just give them more kind of stoner flicks.

But we're looking at a movie that, over the course of time, even though it's been what, 15 years? It's made 80 million dollars, right? Sales and revenue, things of that nature, off a 12 million dollar budget. So, I think that warrants a sequel in my opinion. You have to look at everything from every angle. It's been over 10 years since we've done that and that's taboo in Hollywood to do any sequels that's past four years ago.

Have you guys started any writing or storyboarding, anything like that?

We had a script, it needed some kinks knocked out of it. Just, you know, I don't think people are as enthusiastic about it in the industry as we are enthusiastic about it in the street, wanting to see this movie. But I mean, like I said, it's old Hollywood and this is the way things work. They've gone far with this process as far as, you know, sequels, because usually sequels aren't that good.

But occasionally you get a sequel that outshines the first one, and I don't see how hard that can be because in my opinion, How High isn't that hard to top. It was just a vehicle for me and Redman to showcase our talents, you know? The next one can be all about whatever the hell they want to do. Hopefully we'll get it, I don't even want to talk about it any more honestly but hopefully we'll get one better.

Speaking of you and Redman, you two going to do the soundtrack again?

Yeah, possibly. Possibly. I think Redman and Method Man is the heart, being the caretakers of '90s hip-hop. Going on that role of reminding these kids what it looked like back in our day and also being producers in Hollywood, we've got some great ideas then we put it together. And Redman's like, he wants is his comedy, so he knows all the ins and outs of the comedy. And that's pretty much the way and direction we'll go.

Any other rappers you've been following recently? Anyone you been really paying attention to or listening to?

Nah, but I'm rooting for all of them. You know, I see that the new crop is coming out of them, from listening to the fans. They're way more lyrical.

Also, I have nothing against mumble rappers, some of that s*** sounds crazy, because I'm all about changing the vision. You know, words are great, you've got to have the words, but cadence, can't beat that s***. If you listen to Smells Like Teen Spirit, it was mostly the cadence that sold that. I mean, Kurt Cobain was basically [Smells Like Teen Spirit imitation,] but it was the just the flow of it that made it dope.

And that's why I can't take that away from so-called mumble rappers, because we're all just rappers, doing our jobs. I'm all for them, keep doing what y'all doing. The time is coming to an end to where people think people like me see that music the same way people saw our music. Just think of it as evolution. It's going to continue growing and if you don't keep up you'll get swallowed the f*** up. Seriously.

Is there anyone you would want to do a collaborate with or anyone you would want to have on a feature that you haven't worked with yet?

Now, if I was on top and I was looking down, then I could say. But they up there, you know what I'm saying? It's like, I haven't really been up there in music as far as albums and the radio stuff, so they would honestly have to reach back. But be careful, because I'm a hell of a f*****g MC. You don't want me outshining you on your hit.

Thanks for taking the time to talk to us, Meth. Anything else you want to add?

If you haven't got Infinite Warfare, I think you should go out there and get it. It's got so many add-ons and updates. Get that Infinite Warfare because Method Man said so!

Don't see your favorite game here? Back in November, Microsoft said it is holding discussions with all major publishers and developers to possibly bring their games to the program.

More Xbox One Backwards-Compatible Games Now Available

By Anonymous on Mar 28, 2017 10:09 pm

The Xbox One's lineup of backwards-compatible games expands today, with two new Xbox 360 titles being added.

These two come from opposite ends of the spectrum. On the one hand you have co-op action game Army of Two, while on the other you have Soltrio Solitaire. The latter is a solid game of solitaire, with 13 different versions of the classic card game available, though you might balk at the $10 asking price.

Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Guides And Tips

By Anonymous on Mar 28, 2017 10:07 pm

Unlike recent games in the series, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is fairly indirect in how it shepherds you through its world. While it reveals some details, most of the time it's up to you to figure out how to survive. That's why we've compiled all of our in-depth guides to better help you in your journey to understand and overcome the game's myriad threats and mysteries. Keep in mind, there are potential spoilers in some of the guides below.

You can also check out our full review of the game, as well as our feature detailing everything you need to know about it. Be sure to check back often as we update this article with our upcoming Breath of the Wild guides and features.

Beginner's Guide

It's dangerous to go alone in the world of Breath of the Wild; the unwary can perish in a matter of seconds. That's why we've compiled beginner's tips to help you become a veteran survivalist of Hyrule. For a condensed take on what you need to know, watch the video above. Otherwise, check out our comprehensive guide for the full details. [Beginner's Guide]

How To Find The Master Sword

No Caption Provided

Breath of the Wild breaks away from tradition, discarding many of the time-honored tropes the series has been known for. Despite this, it still keeps a few iconic elements from past games. The most notable is the Master Sword, which remains a useful tool you can use to complete your quest. But acquiring the blade is no easy task, as it's hidden somewhere beyond your reach. Here are directions to help you find the Master Sword. [How To Find The Master Sword]

How To Care For Your Horse

Breath of the Wild changes the tradition from past games in the series by removing Link's iconic trusty steed, Epona. Instead, you must find your own horse. Check out the video above for some tips on how to better tame and care for it. [How To Care For Your Horse]

Things The Game Doesn't Tell You

There are numerous important mechanics and concepts that the game never explains outright. At times the game alludes to them, but the majority of the time, you're left to figure them out on your own, either by experimenting or completing a sidequest that introduces a particular mechanic. With so many veiled secrets, we've compiled 14 useful things to know to help you on your journey. For a condensed version of the guide, watch the video above. Otherwise, check out our comprehensive version for the full details. [Things The Game Doesn't Tell You]

Great Fairy Fountain Locations

However, finding them is a difficult task if you're not sure where to look. Here are details on how to find the Great Fairies, as well as how to reawaken them. [Great Fairy Fountain Locations]

All The Memory Locations

As you explore, you can discover special cutscenes called Captured Memories. These scenes are triggered when you reach specific locations that correspond to photographs in your Sheikah Slate's album. Finding these memories is difficult, as it requires an intimate knowledge of the world. To help you obtain and find all the memories, we've compiled a guide with details on the locations of all 12.

Otherwise, check out our comprehensive version for the full details. [How To Get Monster Masks]

How To Find Korok Seeds

If you've been playing through Zelda: Breath of the Wild for even a few hours, you might have noticed that you have very little inventory space for weapons, bows, and shields. Luckily, you can expand your inventory slots! All you have to do is find Koroks, children of the forest that are hiding all over the map. When you find one, it will give you a Korok seed, which you can then trade to an adorable musician named Hestu for inventory slots. There are 11 different kinds of Korok hiding spots and 900 Korok seeds total--you can get them all for completion, but you'll only need 441 to max out your inventory slots. Rather than show all 900 locations, we've put together everything you need to know to find as many as you need. [How To Find Korok Seeds]

Final Fantasy 14's Free Trial Eliminates Its Time Limit

By Anonymous on Mar 28, 2017 09:51 pm

Square Enix has made a welcome change to Final Fantasy XIV's free trial, providing players with the opportunity to check the game out without a countdown clock to keep in mind.

Up until now, the free trial provided only 14 days to check out the MMO, regardless of how much you played or how far you advanced. Now, you can potentially play indefinitely, although there are still limitations: namely, you can't advance beyond level 35. While the upcoming Stormblood expansion raises the level cap from 60 to 70, that's still a substantial amount of the game you can check out without ever purchasing it or a subscription.

If you've participated in the trial previously, you'll now be allowed to jump back in and pick up from where you left off. With the 14-day limit in place, you were unable to re-experience the trial after those 14 days without making a new account.

Final Fantasy XIV got off to an extremely rough start when it launched in 2010--so much so that its leadership team was dumped, its subscription was temporarily dropped, and Square Enix's CEO said it had "greatly damaged" the Final Fantasy brand. But its subsequent relaunch and ensuing support has resulted in a very enjoyable MMO.

Stormblood, the game's second expansion, arrives in June and introduces new classes, areas to explore, a raid, a dungeon, and more. When it launches, support for the PS3 version will come to an end, with Square Enix focusing support on the PC and PS4 versions.


Spider-Man: Homecoming Trailer 2 Breakdown

By Anonymous on Mar 28, 2017 09:23 pm


The second trailer for the upcoming Sony/Marvel Studios film, Spider-Man: Homecoming has been released, which you can watch here. The trailer for the July 7 film revealed quite a bit of new information, and we're breaking down all the intriguing parts. Here's what we learned.


The Spider Emblem Is A Drone


Prior to the title card for the movie, we see Spider-Man's emblem comes off his chest and flies away. It looks like his suit still uses technology from Tony Stark. It's unclear what the purpose of this is, whether it's used to scout dangerous areas or something else. That means there is probably a camera in the spider-drone. We see this shot again later in the trailer.


The Suit Conforms To The Wearer's Body


When putting on the suit, Spider-Man presses the emblem, and it conforms to his body. It's probably much easier to put on than a skin tight suit; although, it looks a little challenging to get into.


Peter's Friend Learns His Secret


Ned Leeds learns that his friend Peter Parker is Spider-Man, and he has a lot of questions, like, "Can you summon an army of Spiders?" As we've learned in the past, having people know your identity can be very dangerous.


Captain America's Fitness Challenge


Parker is still in high school in the film, and we get a couple shots of him going about his day. This includes gym class, during which a Sony TV is rolled in, and the class has to watch the Captain America Fitness Challenge. It's weird to see an Avenger involved in something like this. While the video is playing, Parker tells Leeds, "I stole his shield."


Spider-Ned Is Introduced


Leeds asks if he can wear the mask, and we get a fun little moment of Spider-Ned, who is holding a hologram of a small city or small portion of NYC.


Ned And Peter Work Together


Parker and Leeds use shop class to analyze a piece of electronics, or they're putting something together. It's unclear what exactly is in that vice, but it seems important. Leeds looks to be a big part of helping Parker solve the mysteries in the movie.


Just A Reminder This Takes Place In The Marvel Cinematic Universe


We get a quick establishing shot of New York City, where Avengers Tower can be seen. The trailer is really hitting home that Spider-Man lives in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. There are a few moments like this throughout the trailer.


Could Donald Glover Be Playing Prowler?


We're still unsure who Donald Glover is playing. He's involved with future-weaponry. We're not sure if he's dealing it or selling it, but he doesn't seem to be a good guy. Our guess is that he is playing Hobie Brown, The Prowler.


The Vulture's Men Are Blowing Up Grocery Stores


Throughout the first half of the trailer, Vulture says the rich and powerful don't care about people like him or his crew/gang/coworkers. They need to make a change. At this point, their directive is unclear. Why are they blowing up grocery stores with high-tech weapons? Are they low-level thugs, shaking down mom and pop shops for "protection" money?


Iron Man Comes To The Rescue


We've already seen the Staten Island Ferry getting cut in half in the previous trailer. What's new is that we see Iron Man coming to the rescue, to put it back together, since Spider-Man can't do it on his own.


Stark Wants The Suit Back


We're assuming because of what happened on the ferry, Stark demands the Spider-Man suit back, which he gave to Parker in Captain America: Civil War. Parker tells him that he's "nothing without the suit." Despite that, Parker complies.


The Vulture Is Protective Of His Family


"I want you to understand: I'll do anything to protect my family" Vulture tells Spider-Man. Again, it's unclear if he means "family" as people that are blood related or if he means it more as a mobster term: the people he's extremely close to. We get quite a few shots of Spider-Man being beaten up by Vulture and his men.


Check Out Spider-Man's New Suit


We get to see Parker's new, homemade costume, which is very reminiscent of Ben Reilly's from the comics, with reverse coloring. Even though Parker doesn't have the approval of Stark or the help of his gear, he still wants to be a hero.


The Vulture Will Hurt Everyone In Spider-Man's Life


The Vulture and Spider-Man fight at Coney Island. What's important to note here is that Spider-Man's mask is off during the fight, so Vulture knows what he looks like. He says, "Don't mess with me because I will kill you and everybody you love."


One Last Shot Of The New Costume


Stark tells Parker not to do anything stupid at the end of the trailer, and we get to see Spider-Man fighting Vulture on top of a plane that he is trying to save from crashing. We get another nice shot of Spider-Man's costume here, which looks to primarily consist of a hoodie and pajamas.

Spider-Man: Homecoming comes to theaters on July 7.



Deadwood Creator May Help Bring True Detective Season 3 To Life

By Anonymous on Mar 28, 2017 09:03 pm

While the first season of HBO's crime thriller True Detective was one of the most acclaimed TV shows of recent years, Season 2 was widely considered to be a disappointment. To date, HBO has not announced a third season, but it has now been reported that creator Nic Pizzolatto is working on new scripts for the show.

No Caption Provided

According to Entertainment Weekly, Pizzolatto has written "at least the first two episodes" of a potential third season. The site also states that veteran TV producer David Milch (Deadwood, NYPD Blue) is working alongside Pizzolatto.

HBO has yet to formally greenlight True Detective Season 3 or comment on this story.

Last year Michael Lombardo, former president of programming at HBO, spoke about the negative reaction to Season 2. "When we tell somebody to hit an air date as opposed to allowing the writing to find its own natural resting place, when it's ready, when it's baked--we've failed," he admitted. "And I think in this particular case, the first season of True Detective was something that Nic Pizzolatto had been thinking about, gestating, for a long period of time. He's a soulful writer.

"I think what we did was go, 'Great.' And I take the blame. I became too much of a network executive at that point. We had huge success. 'Gee, I'd love to repeat that next year.'

"Well, you know what? I set him up. To deliver, in a very short time frame, something that became very challenging to deliver. That's not what that show is. He had to reinvent the wheel, so to speak. Find his muse. And so I think that's what I learned from it. Don't do that anymore."

True Detective Season 1 aired in 2014 and starred Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, while 2015's Season 2 featured Colin Farrell, Vince Vaughn, and Rachel McAdams.

Even at its viewer peak, Season 2 fell short of what the first had achieved. The final episode was watched by an audience of 2.73 million in April 2015, a 22% drop from the season one finale a year earlier.


Nintendo Switch Update Out Now, But It Doesn't Do Much

By Anonymous on Mar 28, 2017 08:37 pm

Nintendo has released the first system update for Nintendo Switch since its launch earlier this month, but don't go expecting it to introduce Virtual Console or any other meaningful features.

Whereas the day one update did have some significant components--such as enabling access to the eShop--nothing of substance has changed with today's update. According to patch notes shared on Nintendo's support site, 2.1.0 merely provides "general system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience."

No Caption Provided

No further specifics were shared, and unless they're well-hidden, there are no new features or settings included in the update that went unmentioned in the patch notes.

The update should automatically download in the background, and you'll be prompted (but not forced) to install it when you open any piece of software. Alternatively, you can go to the System area of the Settings menu to start the very brief installation process.

While this might be a disappointing update, we do know there's a lot of functionality still to come for Switch. There's the aforementioned Virtual Console, integration with a mobile app that allows for voice chat, and a premium version of its online service that provides limited-time access to a free game. Virtual Console has not yet been dated, though we've already seen classic games released on the eShop. The mobile app is slated for this summer, with the expanded online service arriving this fall.


This Year's Call Of Duty Reportedly Called "WW2"

By Anonymous on Mar 28, 2017 07:58 pm

This year's Call of Duty game may be set in the Second World War, according to a new report.

The rumor first surfaced earlier in March, when YouTube channel The Family Video Gamers revealed supposed leaked marketing material that showed some World War II-themed box art. GameSpot has also heard the game will be set around that period.

Eurogamer has also corroborated the story, adding that "sources have confirmed" 2017's Call of Duty will indeed be titled WWII.

In a recent investors' call, Activision COO Thomas Tippl said the first-person shooter series would return this year with an entry that "will take Call of Duty back to its roots." The original Call of Duty, along with every entry in the franchise up until Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, was set in World War II.

"In 2017, Activision will take Call of Duty back to its roots and traditional combat will once again take center stage," Tippl said. "This is what our dedicated community of Call of Duty players and Sledgehammer Games, which has been developing this year's title, are the most excited about." Sledgehammer is the studio behind 2014's Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.

The decision to return to the Second World War may have been influenced by lower-than-expected sales for last year's future-set Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. We already knew sales were down significantly compared with the previous year's Black Ops III, though since Infinite Warfare was a new sub-brand--and not an established, recognisable name like Black Ops--it is a difficult comparison.

"[I]t's clear that, for a portion of our audience, the space setting just didn't resonate," Tippl explained. "We have a passionate, experienced studio deeply committed to this direction, and despite the risks we saw, we believe it is important to consider the passions of our game teams in deciding what content to create.

Despite some fan criticism, we enjoyed the latest Call of Duty here at GameSpot. Critic Miguel Concepcion said it offers the franchise's "best story in years," with some moments "at least as memorable and moving as any deeds from … the series' heyday."

Spectacular Spider-Man: Homecoming Trailer Released, Watch It Here

By Anonymous on Mar 28, 2017 06:50 pm

The spectacular new trailer for Spider-Man: Homecoming is here. The latest look at the upcoming Marvel movie features Tom Holland in action as Spidey, plus Michael Keaton as the villainous Vulture, and Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark. Check it out below:

The trailer reveals that Stark will take on a mentoring role to young Peter Parker, and gets to wear his Iron Man armor. Keaton's Vulture seems very angry at the world, and with the help of Shocker and Tinkerer, is developing lots of dangerous looking gadgetry. There's the expected wise-cracking from Spidey, and some impressive-looking action sequences

The movie also stars Marisa Tomei as Aunt May, Bokeem Woodbine as Shocker, and Michael Chernus as the Tinkerer. It's directed by Jon Watts.

In a recent interview with Movieweb, Holland explained how Spider-Man will differ from the other heroes in the Marvel universe. "You've seen the billionaire, the scientist, the soldier," he said. "Now it's time to see the kid. And every decision we make on set is based off how would a kid react in this situation, so every fight scene we have is designed in a way that's almost child-friendly, so he never actually punches anyone. It's all done kind of by accident. I think the biggest difference is his youth and innocence."

Spider-Man: Homecoming hits theaters on July 7.
