Netflix's Resident Evil series has been canceled after one season.

Deadline reports that Netflix will not renew its adaptation of the Capcom survival horror series which premiered its first eight-episodes season on July 14.

While it debuted in the Top 10 rankings, the series quickly fell off the radar following lukewarm reception from viewers and critics.

Netflix's Resident Evil series told an original story set in the Resident Evil universe. In this alternate timeline, the Umbrella Corporation has founded New Raccoon City which Albert Wesker and his two daughters, Jade and Billie, move together to.

The series follows two timelines, this New Raccoon City storyline and 14 years later when the T-Virus decimates the human population.

While the TV series didn't follow any storyline from the video games, iconic monsters like Licker appeared in the show.

Resident Evil has been adapted numerous times including a series of financially successful films, and the reboot Welcome to Raccoon City. While the latter might be the most direct adaptation of the games to date, most Resident Evil adaptations have mostly taken the source material to create original stories.

This is the most recent cancellation over at Netflix, which previously shuttered other adaptations such as the Cowboy Bebop live-action series.

IGN's review was more positive on the adaptation, citing Lance Riddick's portrayal of Albert Wesker as a particular highlight.

Ezra Miller has been on an apology tour over the past couple weeks, with their latest stop reportedly being a meeting with the heads of the Warner Bros. film division.

THR reports that Miller and their agent, Scott Metzger, met with WB film chairs Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy, where they reportedly apologized for bringing negative attention to the The Flash. Miller also reportedly reaffirmed their commitment to the movie, which has been rumored to be under threat amid a flurry of controversy surrounding the actor.

Miller is said to have sought the meeting after reports emerged that the film might be canceled, not the least because The Flash is reportedly "one of their favorite characters to play," according to one of THR's sources. Miller was reportedly apologetic and reaffirmed their commitment to getting care.

According to THR, the mood around The Flash has improved of late at WB Discovery, buoyed by strong audience test scores and Miller's recent about-face.

Still, even if WB Discovery goes ahead with The Flash, Miller's problems are far from over. The actor faces legal trouble in multiple states, including a felony burglary charge in Vermont. They also have been accused of grooming a teenager. Miller only recently reappeared after abruptly deleting their Instagram and vanishing.

In the wake of their reappearance, Miller apologized for their recent behavior, claiming they are suffering from "complex mental health issues."

"Having recently gone through a time of intense crisis, I now understand that I am suffering complex mental health issues and have begun ongoing treatment," Miller said earlier this month. "I want to apologize to everyone that I have alarmed and upset with my past behavior. I am committed to doing the necessary work to get back to a healthy, safe and productive stage in my life."

In the meantime, WB Discovery is said to be preparing for multiple scenarios, including canceling the film outright. The Flash is one of many difficulties that the studio is currently facing amid the blowback over Batgirl's cancellation and more.

As for Miller, they're set to appear in in a Vermont court on September 27 to face their felony burglary charge.

Anti-cheat and DRM software Denuvo is coming to the Nintendo Switch.

In a press release, Denuvo developer Irdeto announced that its software will now cover Nintendo Switch games from piracy.

“Nintendo consoles have long suffered from piracy issues and the Switch is no different,” Irdeto writes. “Even if a game is protected against piracy on its PC version, the released version on Switch can be emulated from day one and played on PC[.]”

Denuvo will block this emulation and make it so anyone will need a legitimate copy of a game to play.

Denuvo is a popular anti-piracy software that’s been utilized in the biggest PC releases. However, the software is also known to affect a game’s performance and the always-online requirement has made it unpopular among certain gaming communities.

A well-known example is when Resident Evil Village was released on PC with Denuvo, hackers found that it caused performance issues. Capcom later released a patch that adjusted the anti-piracy software in question.

Irdeto is hoping to clamp down on pirates who dump Nintendo Switch games online so that they can be played with emulators. A move that is in line with Nintendo’s strict stance against piracy.

Nintendo previously sued websites that host pirated games and has won millions of dollars in compensation and successfully shut down piracy websites.

No word on when the anti-piracy software will be implemented and for which games, nor will we know about any potential effects on performance until it is released.

Corsair has announced a new gaming monitor, the Xeneon Flex 45WQHD240, which has an interesting (albeit niche) feature: you can physically bend the display with your hands.

My first immediate thought when seeing the announcement was, "How is this possible??" According to Corsair, thanks to LG's W-OLED display technology and close collaboration with LG, the company was able to create the monitor. Of course, this would not be the first time a concept was created; LG created a 48-inch bendable TV prototype and demoed it at CES 2021.

As for how you bend it, Corsair did not explicitly mention it in the announcement material. However, YouTuber Bitwit uploaded a hands-on video of the Xeneon Flex 45WQHD240, revealing that you bend the monitor's curve using a pair of handles located on each side of the monitor.

Outside of the abilidy to adjust the curvature, the Xeneon Flex 45WQHD240 features an OLED screen with a 45-inch 21:9 ultrawide panel, a refresh rate of 240Hz, and a peak brightness of 1000 nits. Additionally, the monitor supports variable refresh rate technologies made by AMD and Nvidia — FreeSync and G-Sync.

The Corsair Xeneon Flex 45WQHD240 is one of the more interesting monitors to be announced this year. At CES 2022, Samsung unveiled the Odyssey Ark, a 55-inch curved gaming monitor that does the work of three monitors and allows you to switch from landscape to portrait mode instantly.

Corsair has not yet shared any info on pricing or the Xeneon Flex 45WQHD240 it will release, but the company plans to share more details later this year.

Wild Bunch Productions and Yukikaze have announced a “double Kickstarter” campaign for two games, Armed Fantasia: To the End of the Wilderness, and Penny Blood. The former is a spiritual successor to Wild Arms while the latter is one for Shadow Hearts.

Wild Bunch is made of creators behind Wild Arms and Yukikaze consists of former Shadow Hearts creators. The campaign will launch on August 29 and the goal is to create large-scale JRPGs inspired by these classic titles, requesting $750,000 for both games.

Armed Fantasia takes place in the wild west setting of Londenium and follows a young man named Ingram who loses his grandfather. He’s a Pathfinder, an adventurer who wields a weapon called ARM, to fight enemies called Anomalies that infest Londenium.

The game is a turn-based RPG where characters can land successive actions to disrupt enemies’ turn order. It also features a large world map where each party member possesses a unique Gadget that can help overcome obstacles when exploring.

Penny Blood is a dark gothic RPG that takes place during the 1920s during the Roaring Twenties time period and follows a man named Matthew Farrell, a private detective in New York working for the Bureau of Investigation.

An incident leads him to investigate a mental asylum but he finds it filled with monsters. Using transformation abilities he inherited from his father, he takes them down. The story will take Matthew all across the world through Asia and Europe. The game is turn-based as well, but with some reaction-time elements.

Both Kickstarter campaigns will share a “combo meter” that affects the stretch goals of both games. Pledging for one game will also contribute to the other’s stretch goals. Reaching the full funding goal will confirm both games for a PC release. Additional stretch goals will see the games being ported to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo’s most recent hardware at the time of release. No launch window has been revealed yet for either game, should the campaign reach its goal.

The Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes campaign was the most recent high-profile Japanese Kickstarter campaign, in which the game was billed as a successor to Suikoden. The campaign also stated that it would release on whichever Nintendo system was relevant by the time it was released, but a Switch version was recently confirmed this year.
