Report: Techland Making Two New Games, Possibly Dying Light 2
Techland, developers of Dead Island and Dying Light, are currently working on two new games.
According to Eurogamer, one of these games will be a brand new IP developed in Warsaw, and it'll be an open world game with RPG elements. Much like previous Techland games, it will have co-op multiplayer as well as single player.
EG asked Techland CEO Paweł Marchewka about the possibility of Dead Island 2, to which he replied "No...We had a talk about it but I think Dying Light and
Dying Light 2 would be games which are..."
"The Dying Light brand is more important to us," said PR manager Anna Lada-Grodzicka.
Daniel Craig Turned Down This Much Money to Play Bond Again
Daniel Craig has reportedly turned down £68 million (approximately $99 million) to play James Bond in two more movies.
According to the Daily Mail's sources, Craig has said he is "done" playing Bond, despite MGM offering the huge sum for him to return for two more films beyond Spectre, including endorsements, profit shares and even a co-producer credit.
Craig has reportedly earned £38 million total for the four Bond films he has made so far.
Last year, Craig said he'd rather "slash my wrists" than play Bond again, but added that "If I did another Bond movie, it would only be for the money." Apparently, even that wasn't enough.
CW Airing Supergirl on Mondays; iZombie, The 100 Held for Midseason
The CW have announced their fall schedule and it seems Supergirl, while switching networks, will still be found in a familiar place - the series will air Monday nights at 8:00pm on the CW, the same timeslot the show had on CBS this past year.
With Legends of Tomorrow again airing Thursdays at 8:00pm in the fall (Season 1 was held for midseason), this means Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday all kick off with a Greg Berlanti-produced DC Comics series, including The Flash on Tuesdays and Arrow on Wednesdays.
Those latter two series will be used to launch two new shows. On Tuesdays, The Flash will lead into the new (possibly apocalyptic!) romantic comedy, No Tomorrow, while Arrow will be used to launch Frequency, an adaptation of the movie of the same name. Meanwhile, Supernatural (now in Season 12) will move to Thursdays, after Legends of Tomorrow, while Crazy Ex-Girlfriend will air Fridays after The Vampire Diaries.
The Doom Speedrun World Record Is Already Under 90 Minutes
It hasn't taken very long for speedrunners to start finding time-saving tricks for Doom.
Runner DraQu (thanks VG24/7) has achieved the world record Doom run, coming in at 1:29:58. However he says "the start of the run was bad and some fights were slow. Will be improved!"
Doom came out last week, and already speedrunners have found a few glitches that shave precious seconds off their times.
It's not just new games getting new records though. Last month Super Mario Bros. got a new world record of under five minutes. Also make sure to check out these 11 amazing speedruns from charity event Awesome Games Done Quick earlier this year.

Arrested Development Season 5 Will “Definitely Happen”
Arrested Development creator, Mitch Hurwitz has said that a fifth series of the acclaimed comedy will "definitely happen". Look, here he is saying it now:
"It'll happen. It'll definitely happen," Hurwitz explained to Esquire. "I say that because the actors want to do it, the studio wants to do it, Netflix wants to do it, I want to do it. It's just making it happen. There's no one resisting."
It sounds as though the only issue is timing for those involved - the same issue rumoured to have forced the fourth season to feature many characters separately, creating its non-linear narrative.

The Kojima World Tour Was to Find an Engine for his New Game
Hideo Kojima has confirmed that his first post-Konami game will use a third-party engine, and that his well-documented trips to meet creatives - in video games and otherwise - have at least in part been to find which tools his new project will utilise.
Speaking at the Nordic Game 2016 festival, Kojima explained that in order to ensure a timely release for the new Kojima Productions' debut, he had to go against his preferred methods:
"I actually think it's better to make games using internal tools," Kojima said. "As for my first title, because I want to release it to the people who are waiting for it, for that title we are going to use a third-party engine - the reason I am travelling around the world is looking for such technology to use."
