Halo Wars 2 Features New RTS Meets Card-Collecting Mode
In addition to modes like Deathmatch and Dominion, Halo Wars 2 will feature a brand-new multiplayer game type called Blitz, which blends card-collecting with real-time strategy.
According to Xbox Wire, this "hybrid card-collecting and real-time strategy game" will have players creating 12-card decks, which are acquired by earning packs through daily challenges, as well as playing through the game's campaign. Each leader can select up to three decks, with each card allowing the player to send a specific unit into battle during the match. The cards all have specific energy costs, with the ones featuring more powerful units requiring more energy to deploy.
Arrow Producer on Using a Suicide Squad Character Again
Note: Some spoilers follow for tonight's Arrow, "A Matter of Trust," though nothing not previously revealed officially by the network and studio via the guest credits already released for the episode.
This week's Arrow, "A Matter of Trust," features an interesting guest star in the form of Michael Rowe, who reprises his role as Floyd Lawton, AKA Deadshot. Deadshot's appearance is notable, of course, because the character died a couple of years back on the show - but also because this marks Deadshot's first appearance on Arrow since the Suicde Squad movie opened this summer, in which Will Smith played Deadshot.
I saw "A Matter of Trust" at a screening for press this week and while I won't divulge details on Deadshot's role in the episode, I will say it's signifiant and more than a one-scene cameo. When the character was killed off -- and Amanda Waller soon after -- more than one Arrow participant said that there was a mandate from above at DC and Warner Bros. for the series to curtail their use of any of the Suicide Squad characters, as the movie approached, even though many had been already introduced on the series.
Call of Duty Creator Got ‘Quite a Lot of Calls’ After Exit
Following Vince Zampella's departure from Activision, the Call of Duty creator and former Infinity Ward head said he received "quite a lot of calls" from not only people lending support, but also several publishers interested in working with him on a future project.
"There was a lot of support," Zamepella said on the latest episode of IGN Unfiltered. "I think some people just wanted to find out what happened and see if it was true, and some people were being thoughtful and offering support as well."
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Teaser Poster Released
Update: James Gunn also debuted the first publicly available footage from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 shortly after the poster's debut.
Gunn also mentioned that the first full trailer will be coming in "not too long" but offered this sneak peek as a means of tiding fans over until the official trailer is revealed.
Check out the teaser footage below, which features the return of Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, and of course Rocket Raccoon and Baby Groot.
Original story follows:
We've just gotten our first look at Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, in the form of a teaser poster.
Originally posted by director James Gunn, the image shows what looks like a fashion shoot (that will inevitably descend into violence of some kind):
Where Is Tony Stark After Civil War II?
Infamous Iron Man #1 offered some tantalizing clues as to the post-Civil War II status quo of Tony Stark and what the future holds for Victor von Doom.
Warning: this article contains spoilers for Infamous Iron Man #1!
With this new series focusing on Doom taking up the mantle of Iron Man in the aftermath of Civil War II, the first issue had little choice but to spoil the outcome of that unfinished mini-series. Based on this conversation between Doom and Tony's on again/off again girlfriend, Amara, it seems that not on;y did Iron Man lose his battle against Captain Marvel, he died on national television.
Pokemon Creator Picks His 6 Favourites
Junichi Masuda has been involved with Pokemon since the beginning - from composing some of its most famous music, to designing the creatures or, these days, taking on the role of game director for the entirety of Pokemon Sun and Moon.
But - like all parents - even though he has to pretend to show everyone equal love, he has his favourites. What follows are the Pokemon that have nestled closest to the heart of the man that made them:
Pokedex says: “It has mystical powers but doesn't recall that it has used them. That is why it always looks puzzled.”
Wolfenstein: The New Order Voice Actor Teases Sequel
Back at E3 this year there was a very cryptic Wolfenstein tease, and the main voice actor for the game has just teased it further.
In an interview with TwoLeftSticks (thanks Gamespot), Brian Bloom, who played B.J. Blazkowicz in Wolfenstein: The New Order, talked about Bethesda's tease at E3.
Shortly before the reveal of Quake Champions, the opening of Bethesda's press conference had a DOS-style boot up sequence, showing files named for New_Order, Old_Blood, and the mysterious New_Colossus.
