HTC Vive Cosmos Hands-On Impressions
Although the HTC Vive Cosmos was announced at January 2019 during CES, the company only recently announced that the VR headset would begin shipping on October 3rd for $699. More importantly, we only got a drip-feed of information about the headset while it was hidden behind closed doors, but now we’re finally getting our hands on it.
The first thing you might notice about the Vive Cosmos is wow–it looks good. HTC has seriously stepped up its game with an eye-catching metallic blue paint job and a flashy geometric mesh front facia. This is a good change as HTC hasn’t been known for producing the most aesthetically pleasing hardware: that honor has previously gone to the simply streamlined and fabric-lined Oculus Rift S and Oculus Quest.
Why Joker Doesn’t Have a Post-Credits Scene
A big question going into Joker for moviegoers is "does Joker have an after-credits scene?" The simple answer is no, Joker does not have an end-credits scene, and director and co-writer, Todd Phillips, spoke to GamesRadar and explained why it was excluded from the film.
"The idea of a post-credits scene in this movie would seem wrong, and a little too light for me," Phillips said.
"That wouldn't have been something we did. But Joaquin
said it would be funny to put bloopers alongside the names like they did in the old days," he said.

Gotham City’s vigilantes and anti-heroes are assembling in the stylish new trailer for Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn, so we’re breaking it down to learn more about the characters, plot, and the colorful force of chaos that is Harley Quinn.

Is Jared Leto’s Joker in Birds of Prey?
Margot Robbie is back as Harley Quinn and she’s dealing with her breakup with the Joker the way anyone would: by getting a haircut! In 2016’s Suicide Squad, you’ll recall how her transformation into Harley Quinn was all thanks to the Joker, so it makes sense that she’d want to sever ties with that part of herself, literally.

Disney Pushes Avengers: Endgame in 13 Categories for Oscars
After a successful awards-season run for Black Panther, Disney is back at it again for Avengers: Endgame.
According to Disney's For Your Consideration website, the studio is pushing Endgame in 13 different categories. Notably, Disney is not pushing any of the actors for awards — previously, Robert Downey Jr. had been praised and was rumored to have a large push for his performance in the final Avengers installment.
Last year, the studio tried to push several Black Panther cast members for acting categories, including Chadwick Boseman and Lupita Nyong'o, but was unsuccessful in its attempts.

Emma Stone Wants to Make a Zombieland Sequel Every 10 Years
Some SPOILERS follow for Zombieland: Double Tap.
It may have taken a decade but the Zombieland sequel, the project that wouldn’t die, is almost in theaters. IGN was among the press outlets who recently chatted with director Ruben Fleischer on the Sony Pictures lot about Zombieland: Double Tap’s ten-year journey to the screen.
Zombieland: Double Tap reunites the four stars of the original -- Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin -- which Fleischer said “was always the intention.”
The cast is “why the original movie is great,” Fleischer enthused as he prepared to present a selection of clips from the follow-up. “We had this incredible group of actors, so to think of doing it without them; I can’t imagine what that version would be like. Maybe down the road we’ll find other survivors at another outpost, maybe we could develop that as a TV show, but we never considered doing this with a different cast.”
Free Guy First Look: Ryan Reynolds Is a NPC
In Free Guy, Ryan Reynolds plays a downtrodden bank teller who slowly comes to realize what is wrong in his life -- namely, that he’s a non-player character in an open-world video game. Man, that would seriously blow…
Reynolds (who plays “Guy”), Jodie Comer (“Molotov Girl”/Millie), Joe Keery, Lil Rel Howery, Utkarsh Ambudkar and director Shawn Levy (Night at the Museum) brought a first look at the film to New York Comic Con today, in a panel that was hosted by IGN’s own Terri Schwartz.
Things kicked off with a behind the scenes goof of the cast talking about working together, and Reynolds and Taika Waititi doing their best to not admit that they made Green Lantern together. Reynolds will never leave that joke alone. He knows he has gold.
This Is The First Death Stranding Trailer That Makes Sense
PlayStation has released a new Death Stranding trailer a month ahead of the game’s official release date. The new cinematic trailer is far more straightforward than any of the previous trailers released for Death Stranding, in that you actually can get a sense of what’s going on. Watch the new trailer above.
The new cinematic trailer for Death Stranding gives a pretty concise overview of the upcoming Hideo Kojima game. You play as Sam Porter Bridges (portrayed by Norman Reedus) as he undertakes a government job delivering packages across the fractured United States. Along the way, some weird stuff happens, Mads Mikkelsen is in it, and you can beat up grunts with your briefcase.
