FINALLY: Watch 19 Minutes of Marvel’s Avengers Gameplay
Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics have unveiled the full 19-minute Marvel's Avengers demo, showcasing the tutorial gameplay previously screened at E3 and San Diego Comic-Con.
Watch the video above to see the demo in action, as it follows the gameplay among all of Marvel's Avengers' main playable characters — Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Black Widow, and Captain America. It is a tutorial level, though, and so you can expect full missions to play out a bit differently rather than this level, which is clearly designed as an introduction to the cast and their powers. And if you're wondering what it feels like to actually play the 2020 Marvel ensemble adventure, IGN went hands-on with Marvel's Avengers at Gamescom 2019, offering us a much better sense of the game than we had previously.
Yakuza Remastered Collection Announced, Yakuza 3 Remaster Is Available Now
Yakuza 3, 4, and 5 are coming to North America for the PlayStation 4 as part of the brand new Yakuza Remastered Collection.
The Yakuza Remastered Collection was revealed during IGN’s Gamescom live show earlier today. The Collection updates the three Yakuza titles in 1080p and 60fps all for the PlayStation 4.
The Yakuza Remastered Collection will be released in protracted fashion. So, Yakuza 3 will be available today on the PlayStation 4, but Yakuza 4 will unlock on October 29, and Yakuza 5 will unlock on February 11, 2020.
Yakuza 3 was released on the PlayStation 3 in Japan back in 2009 and continues the saga of Kazuma Kiryu. Like previous installments of the Yakuza series, Yakuza 3 centers on a central, Yakuza-related conflict. But as usual, players can take Kazuma on a variety of side quests and extra missions.
Mario and Sonic at the Olympics Will Let You Play as 2D Characters
SEGA has announced that Mario and Sonic at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics will allow players to compete as the classic 2D pixelated versions of the characters across multiple events. Check out the trailer below to see them in action.
In the new trailer, characters like Mario, Sonic, Luigi, Bowser, Princess Peach, Knuckles the Echidna, Eggman, Tails, and Toad can be seen in their classic 2D pixelated forms performing in various sporting events. 2D versions for other characters like Amy and Yoshi aren’t yet confirmed.
SEGA says that these 2D characters can compete in 10 different events: The 100m dash, the 10m dive, 400m hurdles, vaulting, judo, the 1000m kayak dash, the long jump, a marathon race, trap shooting, and team volleyball. Not only are the characters 2D, but the arenas the events take place in are changed into 2D as well. SEGA says those 10 events are meant to represent the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.

Gears 5 Preorder Guide for the UK: Everything You Need to Know
The next instalment of Gears of War is simply going to be called Gears 5 and will be released on September 10 on Xbox One and PC. There are plenty of reasons to jump into the new Gears game, and it's now easier than ever to do so, considering it will be available on Game Pass on the day of release, and four days earlier if you have Game Pass Ultimate.
The latest edition of the cover shooter series will focus on Kait Diaz and continues the story surrounding the human struggle against an alien threat.

Spider-Man: Far From Home Returning to Cinemas With New Footage
Sony Pictures has revealed a Spider-Man: Far From Home re-release will be swinging on to the big screen later this month.
Variety confirmed the extended version of the Tom Holland-led superhero flick is set to feature approximately four minutes of all-new footage consisting of a "never-before-seen" action sequence.
Sony announced the new cut will debut in theatres across the United States and Canada on August 29, just in time for Labor Day weekend, and will be available in IMAX format at select locations.
Joker and Beyond: Every Villain Getting Their Own Movie or TV Show
Director Todd Phillips' Joker will be released on October 4, and the first reviews have now hit. By and large the film is being hailed as a triumph, with anticipation already building that Joaquin Phoenix might get an Oscar nomination for his turn as the titular psychopath. IGN's own Jim Vejvoda gave Joker a rare 10/10, saying that Phoenix is "captivating" and "The Clown Prince of Crime gets a standalone film for the ages."
But that's not the only upcoming solo supervillain movie or TV show. Margot Robbie, Tom Hardy, and Tom Hiddleston are returning as Harley Quinn, Venom, and Loki (respectively), but that's just the start of the bad guy projects in the works.
Disintegration Hands-on: Less Halo, More Bizarre Shooter-Strategy
Disintegration sounds pretty complicated. It’s a first-person sci-fi shooter, except you’re riding a free-floating hoverbike, and you’re simultaneously controlling multiple AI squadmates, each with combat specialities and abilities that can be popped individually. I think the best compliment I can give Disintegration is that, by the end of 20 minutes with its multiplayer, it didn’t feel that complicated after all.
Developer V1 Interactive knows that it’s throwing players in at the deep end of its pool of ideas, but has a neat solution - it wants every interaction to feel like shooting, to lessen that gap between FPS and RTS. Pulling the right trigger sets your guns off as you’d expect, but pushing a right shoulder button pops commands for your AI team wherever your crosshairs are pointing. It works similarly to Apex Legends’ excellent Ping system, switching seamlessly from “go here” to “claim that objective” based on what you’re pointing at.
