Thor: Ragnarok Director to Cameo as Planet Hulk Character
Taika Waititi is doing more than directing Thor: Ragnarok. He'll also portray Korg in the Marvel movie.
On Monday night, IGN attended an open house at Marvel Studios, where Waititi revealed that he's playing the rock-like alien in Thor: Ragnarok. Now while Korg sort of showed up in Thor: The Dark World — if that actually was him — the Kronan will see a makeover in the new film.

Black Panther: We Break Down the First Footage
IGN was among the media outlets invited to an open house Monday night at Marvel Studios' office on the Disney lot in Burbank for a preview of what's in store in Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe ... as well as to screen Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 in its entirety! (Our film review cannot be posted until the studio-mandated embargo lifts so that's all we can really say about that until then.)
Black Panther was one of the upcoming Phase 3 movies that Marvel was most excited to tout. At one point, we were invited to screen both a behind-the-scenes featurette on the making of the Ryan Coogler-directed film as well as some dailies of scenes featuring stars Chadwick Boseman, Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira, Martin Freeman, Angela Bassett, Forest Whitaker, Florence Kasumba, and Andy Serkis.
Code Vein Is Bandai Namco’s New Action RPG
The most recent issue of Japanese magazine Weekly Famitsu revealed more information on Bandai Namco's mysterious new project, teased last week with an animated short.
Code Vein is the name of the new upcoming action RPG, which was previously hinted at with the "Prepare to Dine" teaser. The "dining" refers to players' ability to chow down on monsters as super-powered vampires in the new project.
The animated teaser's tagline, an obvious nod to Dark Souls, led many to believe this new game would directly relate to the punishing series. However, the team behind God Eater is developing the new project, aiming to create a new "dramatic exploration hard action RPG," for unknown consoles, unrelated to God Eater.
Why 1 Million People Play PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds
For the past month, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has taken Steam by storm. The unusually-titled multiplayer shooter earned a whopping $11 million dollars during its first weekend on Early Access and has already sold over one million copies. It sits comfortably among the most-watched games on Twitch, next to streaming staples Hearthstone, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and League of Legends. The reason for this oddly named game’s sudden, meteoric success is simple: it’s really, really good.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds does what many games like it struggle to do: make large-scale, competitive multiplayer survival gaming exciting and accessible. The premise is straightforward. Up to 100 players parachute out of an airplane onto a huge island, where they must immediately arm themselves with any weapons they can scavenge from its abandoned towns, factories, and military bases. Over the course of each match, the size of the battlefield rapidly shrinks, as does its pool of survivors as players begin taking each other out. This imposes an increasingly player-dense playground for shoot-outs. By the end of each game, the last player standing or the last team standing wins.
