Call of Duty: Black Ops 4's Blackout mode will have consumables on the map that will enable, for a limited time, "Black Ops' signature perk power-ups."

Game Informer also revealed a few of the perks players can look forward to finding on the map when Blackout launches, and they are as follows:

In a press release from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the previously announced Outstanding Achievement in Popular Film category won’t be coming to the 91st Oscars ceremony after all.

Watch it here:
Original story follows...
Now that we've gotten our first official look at the cast of next year's Captain Marvel movie, including Brie Larson's Carol Danvers, returning MCU favorites like Nick Fury and Ronan the Accuser, and a whole new lineup of Kree and Skrull characters, it's time to delve into an aspect of the film that we hadn't heard about before.
Captain Marvel Is the Most Powerful Hero the MCU Has Ever Seen
Captain Marvel is the MCU's most powerful superhero, according to Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige.
Feige confirmed to EW Carol Danvers' power is unmatched in the MCU. To prepare for the role, Brie Larson began training nine months prior to filming.
Larson, who'll play the titular character in her own solo film next year, had to learn boxing, judo, and wrestling to help portray the superhero.
Captain Marvel won't be an origin story. Instead, the film begins after Carol Danvers already has her powers and is part of Starforce, a Kree military team.

Insomniac Explains How Spider-Man’s 4K, HDR Works
Insomniac Games has decided to give fans a little peek behind the curtain of Marvel’s Spider-Man, explaining how 4K, HDR and more was handled in the development process.
In an interview on PlayStation Blog, Insomniac’s director of core Mike Fitzgerald and chief architect Al Hastings ran down how the team rendered Spider-Man’s Manhattan.
"Like many open-world games, we have to carefully parcel up our world up into small sections, since the whole island of Manhattan would be impossible to fit into the PS4’s memory at one time,” said Fitzgerald. "There are approximately 800 square tiles making up our version of Marvel’s New York, each 128 meters square, making the city several times larger than what we built for Sunset Overdrive.”

At the bottom of the page, a suggested games tool pulled up a 2019 Nintendo Switch game with the name Yoshi's Crafted World clearly displayed. Although IGN has been unable to replicate that suggested result – Nintendo has likely taken it down by now – other site visitors have also reported seeing it.
