Inhumans vs. X-Men #0 Incites the Superhero Battle
We have your first details on Inhumans vs. X-Men #0 by writer Charles Soule and artist Kenneth Rocafort, which will recap and set up the conflict between the two superhero factions before it escalates to full war in the six-issue Inhumans vs. X-Men limited series hitting this winter.
The Inhuman/X-Men conflict began when a Terrigen Cloud was released and began moving across the globe, turning people with latent Inhuman genes into super-powered Inhumans. While this was a boon for the Inhumans, the cloud proved harmful to anyone with the X-gene. When mutants began to fall ill, the X-Men escaped the toxic cloud by relocating the X-Mansion to another dimension, Limbo, and have been at odds with the Inhumans ever since.
No Man’s Sky Game Breaking Bug Strands Players
Players who pre-ordered No Man's Sky - and were awarded a beefed-up bonus starship for their troubles - have stumbled across a game-breaking bug that's leaving them stranded among the stars.
The problem seems to be rooted in the pre-order ship itself. While most players have to grind for a few hours during the early stages of the game to build a hyperdrive that enables intergalactic travel, the pre-order ship boasts one from lift-off.
However as Reddit user McBlurry points out, redeeming the pre-order ship means players skip the tutorial that gives them the blueprint for how to build a hyperdrive. The snag hits a few hours later, if they trade their spacecraft for a more powerful model that doesn't have a hyperdrive.

The Eyes of Ara: An Intriguing Mystery from a One Man Team
It’s hard not to draw comparisons between The Eyes of Ara – a new game from Brisbane-based indie studio 100 Stones Interactive – and PC classic Myst. The game, after all, is set on an isolated island that’s long been deserted, and is presented from first person, with environmental exploration, puzzles, a mysterious narrative, and supernatural-meets-sci-fi-meets-fantasy elements. Highly reminiscent of the ‘90s adventure phenomenon, in other words.
“I found Myst to be a fascinating game,” says 100 Stones’ Ben Droste, “it was unlike anything I had played before. I wanted to try to capture the same sense of wonder and contemplative exploration.” The result is very much a success. The Eyes of Ara presents a world where the player has to piece together the narrative and history of its strange environment based on notes left behind by previous inhabitants and books concerned with planets and astrology, not to mention by wandering through the dusty halls of a huge castle taking in the various sights.
Star Trek: Discovery Time Period Revealed
Executive producer Bryan Fuller hit the Television Critics Association Press Tour today to talk about his upcoming CBS All Access series, Star Trek: Discovery. Along the way, the man behind Pushing Daisies and Hannibal revealed several tantalizing bits of information about what has been a highly secretive project until now. Among the revelations Fuller dropped were the news that Discovery will have a female lead, and that the character will be a human but not the ship's captain.
Additionally, the show will be set approximately 10 years before Captain Kirk took command of the USS Enterprise, meaning Star Trek: Discovery will exist more or less in the same time period as the original show. Some more details revealed include:
New Mortal Kombat Movie Won’t Be Rushed
James Wan (The Conjuring, Furious 7, Aquaman) tells IGN that development is continuing on a new Mortal Kombat movie he’s attached to produce, though it may be awhile before we see it.
I spoke to Wan at the TCA (Television Critics Association) press tour today, where he was promoting CBS’ new MacGyver series -- he directed the pilot -- and Wan told me that with Mortal Kombat, “It's still cooking away. With that particular project, that's a really cool property that I loved growing up as a kid. Besides the game, even the movies as well, I kind of enjoyed them for what they are.”
Wan added, “The key here is to try and do it right. I don't want to rush into it. So right now, we're just trying to take our time to make sure it's heading in the right direction. I think that's more important than trying to rush through it and pump up something that no one likes.”
Meet Marvel’s New Ghost Rider, Gabriel Luna
Ghost Rider is coming to the small screen on Marvel's Agents of SHIELD. ABC and Marvel announced at San Diego Comic-Con that True Detective's Gabriel Luna will be playing Robbie Reyes, and he made his press debut at a Marvel press mixer at the 2016 summer TV Critics Association press tour.
When talking about Luna, who's begun filming Season 4, Marvel TV head Jeph Loeb refers to him as "the new member of our family." "He's just so awesome," Loeb gushed. Luna's enthusiasm for the part of Robbie is contagious; he's as quick to talk about his love of cars as he is to run down his favorite Ghost Rider arcs from the comics. We had a chance to talk with both him and Loeb about why it made sense for Ghost Rider to cross paths with the agents of SHIELD.

NEW GAME RELEASES
Aquaman is the the Wolverine of the DC Movies Says Director
James Wan was at the Television Critics Association press tour this week to discuss CBS' MacGyver series, which he directed the pilot for. I sat down with Wan to talk about his new take on that classic '80s series (I’ll have more from our conversation on MacGyver soon), but we also chatted about his next project – the DC Extended Universe movie Aquaman, starring Jason Momoa.
The director of Saw, Insidious 1 and 2, The Conjuring 1 and 2, and Furious 7 chatted about his approach to the character, conveying speech underwater, what Aquaman comic book writer influenced his movie version, and more – and why he feels Aquaman is the Wolverine of the Justice League/DCEU.
IGN: With Aqauman, we’re going to meet him in Justice League first. Did you discuss how he'd be defined there, before moving into your movie?
Aquaman Star Jason Momoa Up for The Crow Reboot
Game of Thrones and Aquaman star Jason Momoa is reportedly circling the lead role in the upcoming reboot of the 1994 film The Crow, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Boardwalk Empire's Jack Huston was originally set for the film's starring role last year, but he dropped out to a scheduling conflict last year. Production then reportedly halted on the film later in 2015 as a result of production company Relativity Media's bankruptcy filing.
