Lower Decks will be ending with season five, but could the door be open for a return like Prodigy? We don't know. Sadly, this is the end for a Star Trek-esque show that had more love for the source material, then all the other Star Trek shows on Paramount right now. https://www.ign.com/articles/star-trek-lower-decks-season-5-will-be-its-final-season-paramount-says

The Upcoming Black Panther game will be open-world. This just makes me question: Is this even possible? I understand Spidey fighting for New York and Batman for Gotham. But Black Panther and Wakanda? Who has the ability to invade and hold a futuristic Wakanda? https://insider-gaming.com/black-panther-game-open-world/ #blackpanther #ea #marvel #disney #electronicarts #electronicartsgames #gamingnews

Downey wants you to trust Feige, and that he would have no probably returning to play Iron Man again. But Feige has completely ruled that out, and has also showed signs of complacency. Which has led to the subpar age of Marvel and declining box office. https://boundingintocomics.com/2024/04/08/iron-man-actor-robert-downey-jr-says-hes-optimistic-about-mcus-future-never-ever-bet-against-kevin-feige-its-a-losing-bet/ #robertdowneyjr #disney #marvel #marvelcinematicuniverse #mcu #kevinfeige

Star Trek Infinite has been shelved after only being released five months ago. Paradox Interactive has said that the game will receive no further updates, after only releasing one. This is unheard when it comes to Paradox, especially since this means that the $700 dollars worth of DLC that they create for every game, will not be released either. https://insider-gaming.com/star-trek-infinite-shelved-five-months/ #startrek #startrekinfinite #paradoxinteractive #nimblegames

Craig Gillespie, of I, Tonya, Cruella, Fright Night, and many others, has been chosen to lead the upcoming Supergirl movie. This is another step forward for Gunn's DC, and another step back for me as I begin to wonder if Chapter 1 of God's and Monsters is even in order of announcement? https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/supergirl-movie-finds-director-1235810542/ #jamesgunn #gunnverse #dcu #dccomics #dcuniverse #craiggillespie #supergirl #millyalcock #wbd #warnerbros #warnerbrosdiscovery

Julia Garner will be in Fantastic Four Shalla-Bal, which has been announced to be Silver Surfer. I mean...okay, Shalla-Bal is originally Starglow, unless your going with Earth X, which they do have the Eternals, but it's sequel is on ice for now. But I don't really care about most of that, I just hope this movie takes place in a different universe with X-Men, that will ultimately lead to the universes merging together with the MCU. https://deadline.com/2024/04/fantastic-four-julia-garner-silver-surfer-1235873034/ #mcu #marvel #marvelcinematicuniverse #marvelcomics #fantasticfour #silversurfer

Another Matrix sequel is on the way. Why? God only knows. I thought this story ended in 2003, only to be 'resurrected.' Then again the only good Matrix movie was the original 1999, outside of that they're pretty much just 'eh, okay.' https://www.ign.com/articles/new-matrix-movie-in-the-works-with-drew-goddard-directing-lana-wachowski-executive-producing #wbd #warnerbrosdiscovery #warnerbros #matrix #matrixresurrections #matrixrevolutions #matrixreloaded

Gearbox has been official purchased by Take Two. With this purchase Take Two now has Borderlands and Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands franchises along with Risk of Rain, Brothers in Arms, Duke Nukem, and Homeworld under their umbrella.

CD Projekt has officially, by the numbers, jumped full steam ahead with the next Witcher game.

Dead Boy Detectives is head to Netflix. This is the second Neil Gaiman work to hit the streamer.

Ubisoft is asking the question, "Do you wish to have a conversation with a NPC?" Instead of pursuing speech trees, Ubisoft wishes to create actual NPC AI dialogue that would still stay narrative important to the story. I personally would rather just have more options and different consequences for my actions, but AI conversations...what could go wrong? https://news.ubisoft.com/en-us/article/5qXdxhshJBXoanFZApdG3L/how-ubisofts-new-generative-ai-prototype-changes-the-narrative-for-npcs https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClAQVI6LlSHMyDEV0TrEqUQ?sub_confirmation=1 #ubisoft #ubisoftparis #nvidia #face2model #inworld #llm #largelanguagemodel #ai #artificialintelligence

Teen Titans will be a upcoming movie written by now Supergirl alum, Ana Nogueira. But why? You haven't released a single movie or show yet. Nor have you announced part II of Gods and Monsters. So why did you already hire a writer for a unannounced movie. Tell me whose going to direct The Authority or write Booster Gold first. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/teen-titans-live-action-movie-1235853170/ #dccomics #dcu #gunnverse #jamesgunn #teentitans #titans #ananogueira #godsandmonsters

James Gunn has officially came out and declared that Season 1 of Peacemaker is non-canon, and that Peacemaker season 2 will lead Waller, as it is being filmed simultaneously with Superman. Mhm...I kind of figured it wouldn't be canon, after the failure of Aquaman 2 and The Flash. But I guess it's nice to know that Peacemaker 2 is right around the corner, probably late 2025. #superman #supermanlegacy #peacemaker #hbomax #max #dcu #dccomics #jamesgunn

Warner Bros, after releasing the best sold game in 2023, Hogwarts Legacy, will be pivoting to live service after the 'smashing' success of Suicide Squad. But they won't just be going live service, but also mobile. This is solely in the interest of reaping quarters and pennies out of people, because eventually your microtransaction will surpass 60/70 dollars for a AAA game. https://www.gamesradar.com/hogwarts-legacy-was-the-best-selling-game-of-2023-but-warner-bros-says-it-wants-to-focus-on-free-to-play-and-live-service-games-even-after-suicide-squad-setbacks/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClAQVI6LlSHMyDEV0TrEqUQ?sub_confirmation=1 #wbd #warnerbros #warnerbrosgaming #warnerbrosentertainment #hogwartslegacy #suicidesquadkillthejusticeleague #suicidesquad #liveservice

Remedy Entertainment, creators of Alan Wake and Control, have purchase the remaining rights of Control from 505. While at the same time, 505 is closing studios in Spain, France, and Germany, but less than 10 people will be let go. But Digital Bros, owners of 505, also announced that they'll be laying of 30% of their workforce, so 10 may be just he beginning. https://insider-gaming.com/remedy-buys-full-rights-to-control-franchise-from-505-games/ https://insider-gaming.com/505-games-office-closures/ #remedyentertainment #remedygames #control #alanwake #505games #505 #digitalbros

Assassin's Creed Infinity will be a big hub, where you can do daily quest, events, emotes with friends, and purchase cosmetics for your characters. . . Why don't we just put one in AC, throw it into a hole, and declare it dead, instead of turning it to some form of Fortnite? https://insider-gaming.com/assassins-creed-infinty-news/ #assassinscreed #assassinscreedvalhalla #assassinscreedmirage #assassinscreedodyssey #assassinscreedinfinity #ubisoft #ubisoftgames

Sony will be laying off over 900 employs, 8% of their workforce. I for one am a little surprised by this news. I always thought that Sony was doing considerable well when comparing it to the rest of the gaming ecosystem. An this isn't just side studios of Sony's, like Bend Studio, but their recent prize winners like Guerilla Games and Insomniac. But it has already been stated by gaming insiders that 2024 will be the year of studio closures. https://www.gamesradar.com/sony-lays-off-900-people-with-reductions-at-spider-man-the-last-of-us-and-horizon-studios/ https://www.gamesradar.com/playstation-cancels-several-unannounced-projects-amid-heavy-layoffs-and-a-studio-closure-sometimes-great-ideas-dont-become-great-games/ #sony #sonyentertaiment #sonyinteractiveentertainment #santamonicastudio #guerrillagames #firesprite #playstationstudiolondon #playstationstudio #insomniacgames #naughtydog

Coyote vs Acme will probably be a write down, as Warner Bros Discovery just announced $115 million dollar write down, which $70 million of that could easily be Coyote vs Acme. It comes down to WBD wanted $70 million, and WBD didn't want to compromise, deal, or negotiate anything less or more. No box office returns, streaming rights, just $70 million hard cash. Weird. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/coyote-vs-acme-warner-bros-discovery-115m-write-down-mystery-projects-1235832120/ #warnerbros #warnerbrosdiscovery #wbd #looneytunes #wileecoyote #acme
