Epic Games has reportedly delayed the release of an upcoming shooter game featuring Marvel and Star Wars characters from March to an unspecified date, according to Bloomberg. According to the publication's sources, Epic is delaying the release because it is shifting to an "AI-first" production model using tools like Anthropic's Claude. "No more hand-written code" is something one of the shooter's directors told staff in an internal email reviewed by Bloomberg alongside instructions that all art for the game will be "generated with full AI workflows." Two days after Bloomberg published the article, Epic revealed that its new Epic Games Launcher is available for preview and that it was "vibe coded" because "programming is hard." Notably, Epic is the company behind arguably the world's biggest live-service game, Fortnite, and the world's largest game development toolkit, Unreal Engine. "Programming is hard" is a strange thing to read from said company. "Programming is hard [so] instead of doing ... Continue Reading »

A couple of months back, we learned that Phoenix Cyclops would be the first DLC fighter to join Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls. He was just the first character in the game's Year 1 DLC roadmap, however. This weekend, the next three characters were revealed. Jane Foster as Thor, Venom, and Jubilee are coming to the game over the next year, and Jane is coming this Winter. Check out the reveal trailer below. Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls has an interesting roster, because in many cases, they opt to take a lesser-known alternative to a popular character. Black Panther is Shuri instead of T'Challa, Robbie Reyes is Ghost Rider instead of Johnny Blaze, and now they've opted for Jane Foster over the original Thor Odinson. The reveal doesn't show any gameplay, so we can probably expect a more in-depth character showcase as her launch approaches. Jane Foster Thor is scheduled to drop in "winter 2027," ...

The name's Halibut, Harold Halibut.Harold Halibut released back in 2024 with one of those visual styles that immediately made us sit up and pay attention. In the two years since, we have been hoping that its stop-motion-esque stylings might one day make the jump to Switch and next month, it's set to do exactly that.Developer Slow Bros announced yesterday that Harold Halibut will arrive on Switch 2 on 12th November, and while there's every chance that we might be a little preoccupied with certain other games around then, we think it'll be well worth a look.Read the full article on nintendolife.com Continue Reading »

Welcome to the family, Coral.Chandler Riggs, perhaps best known for his role as Coral Carl Grimes in the TV adaptation of The Walking Dead, has released a short film based on Resident Evil 7: Biohazard in collaboration with Spook Fest Films. Riggs not only stars in it, but he also wrote, directed, and edited the whole thing.The film has not been created for profit, but rather to showcase Tampa Bay as "a strong, supportive, and experienced home for film productions". Even better, no AI was used in the production, and the description states that it may not be used to train AI. Cool.Read the full article on nintendolife.com Continue Reading »

We have such bugs to show you.Back when I was a lad, I spent quite a lot of time at my local video store – remember those? It was located smack bang between my childhood home and high school, so my friends and I would often stop by and pick up a few snacks while perusing VHS tapes and DVDs. It was here that I first glimpsed the horrific visage of Pinhead — or The Hell Priest — Hellraiser’s overarching antagonist.I didn’t get around to actually watching the Hellraiser series until a few years later, and I’ve still yet to watch later entries like Revelations and Judgment (you can’t have Pinhead without Doug Bradley, I’m sorry), but those first few films were genuinely terrifying. The notion of demonic beings who, unable to distinguish between pleasure and pain, take humans to a labyrinthine dimension to be tortured for eternity still sends shivers down my spine.Read the full article on nintendolife.com Continue Reading »
