No Man’s Sky Media Kit Includes Letter From Sean Murray

UPDATE: While there's a definite Australian flavour to Murray's letter, it turns out this passage is in fact the first page of a media kit sent to reviewers worldwide.

Look, here's our own one now:

The rest of the kit includes FAQs about the game, glossy concept art prints and blank pages, presumably for players to jot down their ideas for hilariously crude planet names.

Bethesda Discusses Rage and The Evil Within Sequels

Vice-president of Bethesda Softwork Pete Hines has spoken about the possibility of sequels to Rage and The Evil Within.

Rage was developed by id Software in 2011, while the Tango Gameworks released The Evil Within in 2014. Both were published by Bethesda, and although neither have had sequels announced yet, Pete Hines believes both games did well enough to warrant them.

In an interview with Finder.com.au, Hines said "I can’t talk about the unannounced stuff and what we may or may not do... So I won’t confirm or deny stuff we may or may not do, as people jump to the wrong conclusions. But I do think both The Evil Within and Rage did well enough that we could make sequels."

Cheat At Overwatch Lucioball And Be Punished, Warns Blizzard

Blizzard has issued some earnest advice for anybody looking to take advantage of a bizarre Lucioball glitch: Don't.

Last week we reported on a new Overwatch game mode that allows players to compete in a Rocket League-esque arena. Dubbed Lucioball, the 3v3 matches are designed to be played using only eponymous character, and only him.

However, an as-yet-unfixed bug means that some players have worked out how to import other characters like Bastion and D.Va into the game.

Now Blizzard has publicly voiced its displeasure that some of its audience is not playing ball.

Jared Leto Wants His Joker to Battle Superman

Jared Leto has been talking about his desire to see The Joker do battle with Superman onscreen, stating that the Crown Prince of Crime would relish facing off against the Man of Steel.

We spoke to Leto while he was doing the promotion rounds for Suicide Squad, and asked what his version of the super-villain would make of Superman.

“Ah, 'Who?' That would probably be his answer. 'Super-who? Superboy? He sounds cute. Tights? A cape?' "

“Superman seems like a lot of fun though for the Joker. The Joker and Superman would be interesting to see onscreen because Superman’s so stoic and morally centred. I think that the Joker would really enjoy that. Superman is just the classic hero and the Joker opposite any her would be really interesting.”
