The Outer Worlds Will Have Multiple Endings

The Outer Worlds will have multiple endings based on how you play.

In an interview with IGN at E3 2019, Megan Starks - Senior Narrative Designer for Outer Worlds - confirmed "there are many different endings" based on how you play but just how many endings there are will remain a mystery until the game comes out.

One of the main characteristics of this extreme capitalist dystopia is the fact that you can play however you want, from threatening quest givers to picking locks instead of heading straight for the door. So you'll have to play through The Outer Worlds multiple times to see all the core story beats it has to offer.

TMNT and Marvel Arcade1up Cabinets Coming This Fall

Towering above the E3 landscape is a 16-foot behemoth of an arcade cabinet. Arcade1up is known primarily for shrinking cabinets down, to a much more manageable 4-foot size, but with the enormous crowds moving about the floor of the LA Convention Center, an oversize arcade cabinet is a good way to bring attention to the ones you'll be able to bring home this fall.

Arcade1up, who've previously taken such classics as Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat and made them easier to bring home, is showing off its new 4-player cabinets on the floor of E3 2019.

Coming out October 13, 4-player Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle and Marvel Super Heroes cabinets are playable now at E3. That doesn't do you any good if you're not at E3, so here are some nice photos to make up for it.

Every Alien in the Men in Black Movies

With Men in Black: International opening this week, we thought now would be a good time to take a look at the many varieties of aliens featured in the previous films. There are a lot of them.

Over three movies and 14 years as partners, Agents K and J have dealt with dozens of different kinds of both friendly and hostile alien creatures. Some look human and some look more like subway-sized worms. Added together they convey a sense of galactic diversity on par with the best of Star Trek and Star Wars.

Without further ado, here are all the aliens in the original Men in Black trilogy. Needless to say, this slideshow contains big spoilers for the first three MiB movies.

Watch Dogs: Legion – Getting Drunk and Shooting Thugs as a 79-Year-Old Librarian

The first thing I did in my 45 minutes with Watch Dogs: Legion was down a pint of lager as 79-year-old librarian Anette Schultz. Then I stumbled around the familiar-feeling pub before invading the privacy of everyone in my vicinity. I hacked into a dozen people’s phones, delving their profiles to find the perfect person with the skills I wanted to join my DedSec cell.

I found a middle-aged banker who packed 15% more pistol damage as a trait. There was a known criminal who could deal a huge 40% extra melee damage, but would spend double the time in jail than the average person if I were to get him arrested. One man’s bio said he was out tonight with his wife, so naturally, I hacked the phone of the woman he was speaking to to make sure that he wasn’t out committing adultery. He wasn’t, but he still didn’t quite have what I was looking for to become a member of my elite squad.

13 Movie Stars Who Made the Jump to Video Games

Keanu Reeves appearing in Cyberpunk 2077 is just the latest example of Hollywood and the world of AAA games merging. Games companies are constantly trying to push the envelope when it comes to immersive, lifelike graphics, and on occasion developers need a little extra help. Sometimes the only way to truly bring a video game character to life is to hire a famous Hollywood actor to play the part.

We're seeing this trend more and more lately, with actors not just lending their voices to big-budget games, but their digitized likenesses as well. Here are 12 major movie stars (plus Keanu!) who have made the jump from film to games...

Two New Galar Region Pokemon Revealed

While going hands-on with Pokemon Sword and Shield during E3 2019, we discovered two new Galar Region: an Electric corgi and a Dark/Fairy imp.

Yamper: an adorable Electric Corgi

In our demo, Yamper the electric corgi had the Fairy-type move Play Rough, the Electric-type move Spark, the Dark-type move Crunch, and the Electric-type move Wild Charge. His ability was Ball Fetch, which will allow him to return the first failed PokeBall thrown in battle, so long as he's not already holding an item. We were able to Dynamax Yamper, which caused his move set to change to Max Starfall (Fairy), Max Lightning (Electric), and Max Darkness (Dark).

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Will Come on 2 Blu-Ray Discs

Update: Square Enix has clarified the development team's progress on the whole Final Fantasy VII Remake project. Full story follows.

The Final Fantasy 7 Remake is going to be big, not just in popularity, but in the game's actual size.

During a behind-closed-doors demo at E3 2019 of the upcoming Final Fantasy 7 Remake, producer Yoshinori Kitase confirmed that the physical edition of the first episode in the remake will require two blu-ray discs when it is released on March 3, 2020.

That's largely due to the sheer size of the game. Kitase confirmed that every game, or episode, in this series will be comparable to a full Final Fantasy game. Which means we can likely expect the following installments of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake to also require two blu-ray discs on current-gen hardware.

Super Mario Maker 2: Nintendo Is Working on Online Play With Friends

During Super Mario Maker 2's Treehouse Live segment, Nintendo's Takashi Tezuka confirmed that the team is working on allowing friends to be able to play together online.

This comment was in response to the news that those playing Super Mario Maker 2 online would only be matched with random players as "with global leaderboards, the matchmaking for competitive play would be compromised if you could play with friends." Nintendo also confirmed the news on Twitter.
