No Man’s Sky Creator Believes Action is Stronger Than ‘Just Talking’

Sean Murray, founder of Hello Games and the creator of No Man's Sky, has discussed a bit more about how his team handled the backlash following the launch of No Man's Sky and why companies like EA, Microsoft, and Bethesda should focus more on letting their work do the talking as opposed to trying to "placate players by just talking to them."

As reported by GamesRadar, Murray spoke during the keynote panel at 2019's Develop conference in Brighton, UK, and discussed how difficult it was to stay quiet following No Man's Sky's rough release in 2016.

Kevin Feige Reveals if the MCU Multiverse Really Exists or Not

SPOILERS AHEAD for Spider-Man: Far From Home

Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige has revealed that yes, the MCU really does have a multiverse, and that it was actually confirmed during the events of 2016’s Doctor Strange.

Talking to Fandango, when asked if Mysterio’s lie about his origins in a different plane of the multiverse means there will never be a multiverse in the MCU, Feige said, “No, it just means he was full of s**t. I mean, in Doctor Strange, we hear the Ancient One talk about the multiverse, so we’ve already established it as a thing.”

Turok Returns as a 2D Chibi-Style Game

Dinosaur hunter Turok returns to gaming for the first time in over ten years with Turok: Escape from Lost Valley, a 2D Chibi-like game.

Unlike the N64 original games and the 2008 reboot, which were pretty intense FPS games, Turok: Escape from Lost Valley is a cute isometric shooter with a focus on mastering Turok’s knife and bow, rather than a collection of grisly weapons. Sorry, looks like you won’t be getting your hands on the Cerebral Bore in this one.

Travelling with your friend Andar, as Turok you’ll need to find you way through the dinosaur-infested Lost Valley and find your way home. Along the way you’ll help natives and fight bosses with such fun names as ‘Killer Honker’, ‘Giant Bear’, and ‘Long Neck Water Honker’.

The Cuphead Show! Coming to Netflix

Cuphead is coming to Netflix. In a joint announcement from Netflix, King Features, and Cuphead developer Studio MDHR, the smash-hit 2017 bullet-hell, boss-rush side-scrolling shooter starring Cuphead and his blue-accented partner Mugman is getting an animated series on the world’s biggest streaming network. The series will be called The Cuphead Show!

Like the game, the Netflix's The Cuphead Show! will feature 1930’s-style animation. It will also be hand-drawn, though not entirely to paper this time, and not by Studio MDHR themselves but instead by Netflix’s own in-house animation studio. “We are not going to be animating this

because it would never be finished,” Cuphead co-creator Chad Moldenhauer told IGN with a laugh during a phone interview. “The current goal is to stay as far away from

Why Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order’s Hero Is a Human

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order features a human hero because developer Respawn was concerned that an alien protagonist would “alienate” players.

Talking to Game Informer, game director Stig Asmussen said that early in development the team had discussed the idea of having an alien creature be the player character, but eventually decided against it.

“Ultimately we didn't go with an alien race because we felt like—no pun intended—that would alienate a lot of people," Asmussen said.

"We wanted to make sure that there was a real human connection to the character that we have in the game, although I personally—I mean, that's more kind of like
