IGN UK Podcast #385: Talkin’ Jive & Far Cry 5
Far Cry 5 got a new trailer just seconds before we recorded this episode so we entered the studio giddy with thoughts of hillbilly jug-bands murders.

Plus, lots of drunken feedback, and the best listener-submitted Keyword Countdown EVER.

Watch All of Far Cry 5’s Character Trailers
Alongside the game's reveal trailer, Ubisoft has revealed three new character vignette trailers, introducing some of Far Cry 5's protagonists.
Nick, Jerome, and Mary - all of whom are seen briefly in the main trailer - introduce themselves in these CG videos:

Far Cry 5 Will Almost Certainly Be Divisive
Far Cry 5 is almost certainly going to get talked about by the mainstream news media. Whether that idea excites you, annoys you, or something else is up to you. But Far Cry is going places that no big-budget, AAA-level game has gone in recent times, if ever.
You play a sheriff’s deputy caught up in a war between the US Marshal Service and Hope County’s resident cult leader, Joseph – a man who believes he’s been chosen to protect his followers from a government collapse he believes to be imminent – and his family: brothers Jacob and John and their half-sister, Faith. You won’t be alone, of course. Joining you in the battle for Hope County’s soul are potential allies like Pastor Jerome, whose church has come under fire by Joseph’s group; Mary May, whose father was killed by the cult; and Nick Rye, a pilot and soon-to-be father who wants to follow in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, who both fought for the US.

New Blizzard Mobile Game Seems to Be a Warcraft Spin-Off
Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft might not be the only game in the franchise available for mobile devices for much longer.
A new Blizzard job posting (spotted by NeoGAF user Nirolak) seemingly confirms the company's next mobile game is based on the Warcraft series. The listing is for "an unannounced project for mobile" and says the person must possess a "passion for creating imagery synonymous with the Warcraft IP."
While previous theories pointed to a possible StarCraft or Overwatch mobile entry, that's apparently not the case.

The Last Jedi: Adam Driver Refused to Hang With Mark Hamill
Mark Hamill has opened up on why Adam Driver wouldn't hang out with him while making Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
Speaking with Vanity Fair, Hamill joked that Driver is “very moody and intense".
“I remember saying to Adam, ‘I don’t know how you work, or your technique. But, at some point, you were my nephew. I probably bounced you on my knee. I probably babysat for you. There’s that side, and now we’re both estranged from the Skywalker family. All I’m suggesting is, if you’d like, maybe we could go to lunch, we could get together and hang out.’”
Driver turned him down, Hamill said. “And more power to him".
