How a Failed Jurassic Park Game Led to the Creation of the Xbox
After working at Looking Glass games for a number of years, helping to create games like System Shock, Ultimate Underworld II, and Flight Unlimited, Xbox creator Seamus Blackley was forced to confront a new manager who had little experience in the games industry. Rather than follow Blackley’s idea of taking Flight Unlimited’s well-received gameplay and translate it into a flight combat game, the manager wanted to make a direct sequel to compete with Microsoft Flight Simulator’s considerably larger budget. Blackley refused and was quickly fired from Looking Glass.
“I was all full of piss and vinegar with the experience of the flight game,” Blackley says on the next episode of our interview show IGN Unfiltered, which releases tomorrow. “I had it in my mind to take these technologies and really keep pushing in the direction of Looking Glass. We’ll try literally to just put you in an environment somewhere with a bunch of things around and you figure out how the hell to deal with it.”
Jurassic World Evolution: Revealing Isla Pena – IGN First
In Jurassic World Evolution you’re the main person in charge of running parks and all the science behind them on the islands known as Las Cinco Muertes - which is a pretty terrifying name for a holiday destination!
We've already seen Tacano and and Matanceros, now welcome to Isla Pena.
It’s one of the most challenging islands for two reasons: first, only a small area of land is suitable for development, so you really have to make every square foot count. Second, everything on Isla Pena takes place at night. Who knows why the Hammond foundation picked it as a great spot for a park full of tourists but there we are.

Rage 2 Officially Announced
Update: Rage 2 is coming to PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
The official Rage 2 website also reveals that Just Cause 3 and Mad Max developer Avalanche Studios is working on the game. Not only that, but Bethesda has provided an official description of the sequel:
"Dive headfirst into a dystopian world devoid of society, law, and order. RAGE 2 brings together a true open world FPS experience where you can go anywhere, shoot anything, and explode everything."
Rage 2 is real after all.
Bethesda has officially announced the surprise sequel, which was leaked by Walmart Canada last week. The game company leaned into the mishap by constantly teasing Rage 2 on Twitter.
Another X-Files Season Isn’t in the Cards Currently
The X-Files is unlikely to return for another new season anytime soon.
Per Entertainment Weekly, Fox released its 2018-19 schedule without mentioning the long-running sci-fi series. Fox Television CEO and chairman Gary Newman confirmed the network has no current plans to bring The X-Files back for a potential Season 12.
“There are no plans to do another season at the moment," Newman said.
The X-Files' 11th season premiered earlier this year and Gillian Anderson recently revealed she's officially finished with the show. However, X-Files creator Chris Carter was still considering continuing the series without Anderson's Dana Scully.
