Sonic the Hedgehog Producer Thinks ‘Fans Will Be Pleased’ With Redesign
After Sonic the Hedgehog director, Jeff Fowler's decision to change the controversial design of the iconic character in the upcoming movie following fan backlash, a push back of the film's release was announced for February 14, 2020.
In a recent interview with Variety in preparation for his film Terminator: Dark Fate at SDCC, producer Tim Miller commented on how the redesign looks and the process he took after seeing all the fan criticism.
Until Dawn Developer’s Dark Pictures Anthology Is Planned for 8 Games
The Dark Pictures Anthology, which opens with Man of Medan this August, is currently planned for eight games, with a release schedule of two per year.
Dark Pictures is a multi-game horror anthology created by Until Dawn developer Supermassive Games. Every game in the anthology will be a new story in a new horror genre, with the only major aspect tying them together being The Curator, a mysterious figure cut from the same cloth as Rod Serling in the Twilight Zone, or the Crypt Keeper in Tales from the Crypt.
In an interview with Supermassive CEO Pete Samuels, I asked what the plan for the Curator is: "We have an arc in mind that plays out over eight games. He's really the only consistency across the Anthology. Everything else from a story, character perspective, we want to be a surprise."
Man of Medan Promises to be a Co-op Horror Blast
Before I began my Man of Medan demo I was asked specifically if I wanted to make choices in it with my mind or with my heart. I realize now that the question was only asked so the PR rep knew what t-shirt to give me, which featured a graphic pointing to whatever I had chosen, but the question was pertinent throughout my playthrough.
In Supermassive’s most prolific game, Until Dawn, I made a lot of decisions based on my emotional attachment to the characters. Supermassive’s gameplay hook certainly relies on how endearing/wicked its characters are, and fortunately, Man of Medan appears to deliver on strong, pulpy personalities; there’s the flirty jerk, the nice guy, the nerdy brother, the rule-abiding captain, the adventurous girlfriend. I was drawn to them and appalled by them in equal measure; a good sign when any of them could die at any point in my playthrough.
Spider-Man: Far From Home Writers Reveal Original Ending Idea
SPOILERS AHEAD for Spider-Man: Far From Home
The writers of Spider-Man: Far From Home have detailed their original idea for the movie’s concluding reveal, which - despite achieving similar final goals - would have been quite a different, more down-beat ending for the webslinger’s second solo outing in the MCU.
Talking to the New York Times, co-writers Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers explained that they had originally attempted to make the reveal of Spider-Man’s secret identity part of the film’s final act, rather than the mid-credits stinger. Not only that, but it would have been revealed in a very different way.
