Respawn Makes Titanfall 2 Changes After First Technical Test
Respawn has responded to player feedback following the first weekend of the Titanfall 2 tech test, vowing to change several key elements of gameplay.
In a lengthy blog post, multiplayer game designer Steven DeRose explains in detail why certain changes were made for the second game, and how player worries about them will be addressed.
The post is absolutely worth a read (if only because seeing a designer explain their designs is always interesting), but a list of the key changes being made is below:

The Latest Mr. Robot Was Better Without a Key Player
Warning: Spoilers for the latest episode of Mr. Robot - "eps2.6_succ3ss0r.p12"
After last week's freaky reveal that Elliot had, in reality, been incarcerated for all of Season 2 thus far, it was very nice to get out of our hero's warped headspace, where layers upon layers of mental shields and trickery have made for a somewhat convoluted second season.
"eps2.6_succ3ss0r.p12" focused almost solely on the struggling, paranoid (for good reason) members of fsociety and how there's a strong possibility that they were used as disposable pawns some nefarious "second stage" plan that's about to be enacted by the Dark Army - the one Whiterose mentioned back in "eps2.2init1.asec."
Alita: Battle Angel Courts Christoph Waltz for Mentor Role
Christoph Waltz may star in Alita: Battle Angel, as the Oscar-winning actor is currently in talks to join the highly anticipated manga-inspired film adaptation from producer James Cameron.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Waltz (Django Unchained, SPECTRE) is in "early negotiations" to star as the cybersurgeon Doctor Dyson Ido, who becomes the mentor of a female cyborg.

The Flash: A New Villain Rises in Season 3 Promo
A new promo for The Flash has been revealed, teasing the rise of new threats in Season 3.
Check out the promo below to get a glimpse at the villainous figure.
Two primary villains will make their debut during The Flash's third season, but it's unclear whether the Dr. Alchemy or the speedster Savitar is the hooded character that is revealed at the 8 second mark in the tease. Dr. Alchemy traditionally wore a hood in the comics, while Savitar had a cult following that could explain this villain's followers. Let us know who you think we're seeing in the comments below.
Suicide Squad Photo Reveals Deleted Joker-Harley Scene
The relationship between Jared Leto's Joker and Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn may have originally been a bit more abusive than the final cut of Suicide Squad ultimately portrayed.
Warning: Suicide Squad spoilers below.
The image, which was revealed by Rolling Stone Brazil (via Batman-News), provides an expanded look at the helicopter scene that features Joker and Harley. While the film offers a happier take, during which the two embrace, the uncropped photo pictured below provides a full look at an alternate take that depicts the Joker scolding Harley.
No Man’s Sky PC Players Dropped by 90% in Two Weeks
The No Man's Sky user-base has dropped significantly on PC since its launch two weeks ago.
According to SteamSpy's statistics, there were a little above 20,000 players in No Man's Sky's PC world this week, down from approximately 212,000 at launch. Take note that these numbers aren't the total number of users playing No Man's Sky on PC, rather, the number of users playing simultaneously.
While player drop-off is by no means unusual for a new release game with major hype behind it, such an extreme drop-off in such a short space of time might raise some eyebrows (The Division on PC, for example, had an 81% drop-off a little less than two months after launch). However, these numbers do not reflect users playing PlayStation 4.
Community Creator Writing New Doctor Strange Scenes
While Doctor Strange wrapped filming back in April, it looks like Marvel is making a few late additions, as the studio brought Dan Harmon on board to write some new scenes for its upcoming comic book film.
Harmon, who created Community and co-created Rick and Morty, is writing scenes that are for additional photography, a source told The Hollywood Reporter. Typically, Marvel movies (like most big studio tentpole films at this point) factor in several days of additional photography into their production plan.
