How PS4 Neo Could Change No Man’s Sky

Sean Murray has discussed the implications of using the upcoming PS4 upgrade, codenamed Neo, to power No Man's Sky.

Speaking to the Daily Star, Murray explains that the Neo - which will reportedly be revealed on September 7 - would "fundamentally change the experience" of the space exploration game.

The key seems to be in the way the game is created, as compared to most others:

"If you play another game and if they do a remaster of that game

Ultra-Violent Brawler Mother Russia Bleed Gets Release Date

Violent four-player beat-‘em-up Mother Russia Bleeds is coming to PC, Mac, and Linux on September 5.

Mother Russia Bleeds is set in an alternate version of the USSR and follows the exploits of a crew of imprisoned street fighters who must battle an oppressive criminal authority while overcoming forced drug addictions. It’s kind of like Streets of Rage if it were made by Rob Zombie.

There’s also a special edition of the game available which comes with the soundtrack, a documentary called Behind the Schemes (very clever!), and a second copy of the game for users to gift or sell. All pre-orders offer a 10 percent discount off the usual price.

Post-launch plans see the game getting a versus mode for head-to-head fighting, and a boss rush mode.

Advice on Being Batman By Batman

Batman is one of the great roles in our popular culture. Grief, deception, that undertow of madness - it's Hamlet, but in a cape and with greater conviction.

Several actors have played the role, but Kevin Conroy has been Batman for 24 years. According to my crude IMDb reckoning, he's played the character 258 times.* For many, myself included, Conroy is Batman. Whenever I read an issue of Batman, I hear his voice.

More actors will assume the role – currently, Ben Affleck and Troy Baker have taken on the character in other high-profile productions – but what can they learn from the man who has been Batman for nearly a quarter of a century?

I recently spoke to Conroy, whose latest performance as the Dark Knight comes in the recently-released Batman: The Killing Joke, and this is his advice on the role of Batman.

Server Trouble May Have Affected No Man’s Sky Player Meeting

No Man's Sky creator Sean Murray has tweeted about yesterday's slightly anticlimactic meeting of players, suggesting that there's more to the space sim's ability to handle two games intersecting than we've seen so far.

The developer - who has previously stated that the chances of meeting another player in the game's 18 quintillion-planet universe is "pretty much zero" - was understandably surprised at how fast it happened:

Fantastic Four’s Miles Teller Up for a Sequel

Remember 2015’s Fantastic Four reboot? According to a recent interview, Miles Teller – who played scientist Reed Richards – says he’d definitely be up for a sequel.

Speaking to JoBlo about returning for a second outing as Mr. Fantastic, Teller says:

"Yeah, for sure. I loved the cast, I loved the characters. I think it's such an interesting dynamic. I love how much they really need to rely on each other. This Avengers thing, they've kind of created their own Fantastic Four in a way, Marvel's first family. Their powers can't just exist on their own, you need Thor to do this, the Hulk to do his thing. So yeah, absolutely, I would do another one."
