Doom Eternal Won’t Have ‘Traditional’ Deathmatch Multiplayer
Doom Eternal won't have traditional (deathmatch) multiplayer. Its offerings are strictly the 2 v 1 Battlemode announced at Bethesda's E3 conference; but by all accounts, this is a very good thing.
"No traditional multiplayer mode. Battlemode is our primary multiplayer mode," says Executive Producer Marty Stratton. "The cool thing about it is it’s ripped straight from Doom; it’s the combat players want and love, you’re familiar with the gameplay, playing as a Slayer."
Although Doom 2016's single player mode was fantastic, the team learned a lot from its not-particular-well-received multiplayer mode.
"When you look back to Doom 2016", says Stratton, "we kind of did something more traditional. Skill vs skill twitch vs twitch. It didn’t have any of the components of Doom that people loved from the campaign. It didn’t have the slayer or demons in a meaningful way. It just kind of fell flat so we really flipped the script on it and decided we need to develop this internally, we need to pull it from what Doom is all about, demons vs slayer."
Live Like Tony Stark By Renting His Avengers: Endgame Cabin
This story contains spoilers for Avengers: Endgame, which you really should've seen by now.
If you want a taste of what it's like to live the billionaire playboy lifestyle of Tony Stark, you now have your chance. Sadly, you can't pilot a working Iron Man suit just yet, but you can rent Tony Stark's plush cabin home from Avengers: Endgame.

The Witcher 3 Switch Port Performance Details Confirmed
In what was certainly one of E3 2019’s more peculiar rumors, CD Projekt confirmed during Tuesday’s Nintendo Direct that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is coming to the Nintendo Switch. Being a console designed for both portable and home gaming, many fans had even more questions about how it would run and just how good it would look. Thanks to some tweets from the official Witcher Twitter account, we finally have an answer.
Originally reported by GameSpot, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition will run at a resolution of 540p while in handheld mode, and 720p while stationed on the Switch dock and with dynamic resolution enabled on screen, the official Witcher Twitter account confirmed.
Nintendo Won’t Deny Co-Op, Playing as Zelda in Breath of the Wild 2
Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma won’t confirm or deny the potential of playing as Zelda or the inclusion of co-op in the sequel to Breath of the Wild, but his sly answers in interviews leave room for interpretation.
In an interview directly following The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sequel reveal in the E3 2019 Nintendo Direct, IGN’s Samuel Claiborn asked Aonuma, "I know for a long time, people have wanted to play as Zelda, and there have been some games where you get to play as Zelda a little bit. It looked like Zelda and Link were hanging out a lot together. Do you think this is going to be the game in which we get to play as Zelda, maybe as a co-op game?"
John Wick Hex Was Almost a Turn-Based Tactics Game
In the world of video games, serious revisions aren’t all that uncommon, but it is rare to see a game ditch the genre it started in and jump into something significantly different. For John Wick Hex, the new tactics game based on the popular Keanu Reeves franchise, it meant ditching the classic turn-based combat of others games and creating something new altogether to capture the spirit of Wick’s knock-down, drag-out fights.
You can read IGN’s preview of John Wick Hex’s gameplay, but the long and short of it is that you control Wick as he moves through tight urban levels, shooting, grappling, and crouch-rolling his way through enemy after enemy, all on a hex-based grid. For developer Mike Bithell, the experience of designing and prototyping Hex’s gameplay proved to be a humbling one.
Dark Phoenix Villain Aliens Were Originally Skrulls
SPOILERS ahead for Dark Phoenix and Captain Marvel!
The greenish, shape-shifting alien villains of Dark Phoenix are referred to in the new (and final) X-Men movie as the D'Bari, but they're not really like their Marvel Comics counterparts at all. That's because, according to Dark Phoenix actor Tye Sheridan, they were originally Skrulls. Yes, the same shape-shifters who played such a significant role in the recent Captain Marvel movie.

Ant-Man 3: Paul Rudd Thinks Fans Need to Campaign for Sequel
Marvel might have seven mystery MCU movies on their slate dated through 2022, but Paul Rudd seems to have some serious concerns that an Ant-Man 3 will be one of them. In fact, when asked about a planned Ant-Man sequel, he recently suggested fans campaign the "top brass" at Marvel and Disney to try to make it a reality.
Speaking to Yahoo!, Rudd simply responded "I don't know" when asked if Ant-Man would get to headline a third solo movie. "You need to make a call to the top brass and start a campaign to make it happen," he said.
Sad Game of Thrones Easter Egg Revealed
Warning: Full spoilers follow for Game of Thrones.
Aww, Jaime and Brienne -- Game of Thrones' woulda/coulda/shoulda/kinda-did couple. The pair started off as enemies and in the end were lovers, but still while Jaime could've stayed with Brienne and fought against Cersei in the show's final battle, he instead returned to his sister/lover. But what if!?
In a new interview with Insider, Game of Thrones composer Ramin Djawadi confirmed something that many fans had noticed about the finale. In the scene where Brienne records Jaime’s final story in the White Book -- the tome that tells the tale of the history of the Kingsguard -- there's a song that plays on the soundtrack. The song, "The White Book," begins with the melody from the love theme "I Am Hers, She Is Mine."
What Iron Man Writers Think of Avengers: Endgame’s Treatment of Tony Stark
Warning: this article contains spoilers for Avengers: Endgame!
Art Marcum and Matt Holloway are the writers behind the latest entry in the Men in Black series, Men in Black International. But they also happen to be responsible for the screenplay to 2008's Iron Man. Both writers attended the MiB International red carpet premiere, where Marcum offered his thoughts on the climactic events of Avengers: Endgame and how far Tony Stark has come in the last decade.
While he didn't work on Endgame (which was written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeeley), Marcum was adamant that Tony making a final, heroic sacrifice marked a fitting conclusion to an 11-year-long MCU character arc. He told IGN, "It's sad, but it had to be that way."
