Darkest Dungeon Delayed on Sony Platforms
Darkest Dungeon's PlayStation 4 and Vita ports have been delayed until late July or August, Red Hook Studios announced today.
Gameplay adjustments for PlayStation's controllers are "not a quick process," the developer said in an update on its site. "We have a level of quality that we want to ensure in all of our releases and we would rather take some extra time to make it right, rather than rush it out the door."
Additionally, Red Hook wants to ensure its Town Events content works properly with the new platforms. The schedule adjustment will allow "potential future events" to line up with other platforms.
Harry Potter Villain Actor Now an MMA Fighter
Josh Herdman, who played Gregory Goyle in the Harry Potter series, is exploring a new career path in addition to acting: professional MMA fighting.

While serious about his potential MMA career -- he holds a shodan black belt in Japanese jujitsu -- Herdman isn't ready to give up acting for good. He still has an agent and attends auditions, but feels as though acting is "just a little bit like playing the lottery for a living."
SHIELD Recreates Gwen Stacy Death Cover for 4-Part Finale Event
Marvel's Agents of SHIELD is hyping its final four episodes before the Season 3 finale by promising a big death is on the horizon.
IGN can exclusively reveal new art for the "Fallen Agent" event. It recreates the iconic The Amazing Spider-Man Issue 121 cover that previewed the death of Gwen Stacy.

Director Says Civil War Happened Because of BvS
Filmmakers Joe and Anthony Russo believe Marvel moved forward with Captain America: Civil War because of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice's announcement.
Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Joe Russo discussed how Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige's thoughts evolved on their pitch for the upcoming movie, especially after Warner Bros. announced they were making Batman v Superman.
"There have been 11 or 12
movies so far, all with a fairly traditional structure," said Russo. "Our pitch to them was: People will tell you they love chocolate ice cream — until you give it to them five days a week. It's time to give them some rainbow sherbet.
Sony Files Trademark for ‘The Sentinel’
Sony has filed a trademark for something called The Sentinel in Europe.
The trademark was filed today, April 26, with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (via Gematsu) under Class 9 for computer and video games software, as well as Class 14 for internet-related electronic games.
Sony has yet to announce anything related to this new trademark, so stay tuned to IGN in the event The Sentinel is a new first-party title from the company. After all, Sony exec Shuhei Yoshida previously said PS4 owners can expect an "unprecedented rush" of big releases this year.
Fallout 4 Rolls Out Mod Support and Tools
Modding in Fallout 4 just became a lot more streamlined.
Assuming you download the beta patch, that is. Update 1.5 for Bethesda's latest open-world adventure includes new mod features that allow them to be installed, critiqued, and bookmarked all within the game client.
The developer also released its Creation Kit — the same tools used to create Fallout 4 itself — for free on its website. Which should make recreating famous scenes in Fallout 4 much easier for those involved.
Wrestling Wrap Up: Was This Shane’s Final RAW?
Most of the important wrasslin-related stuff happened outside of RAW this week - what with Joe winning the NXT title and Joanie "Chyna" Laurer passing away. RAW - which could be Shane-o-Mac's final feetsy feet dance
as "guy in charge because people like him" - was fairly basic. Not bad, just no real effort made to spice things up or surprise us.
The confusion over whether or not there's "collusion" (Cole and Saxton's oft-used ten dollar word) going on between Styles and the Bullet Clubsters is the main storyline right now. And, as mentioned last week, there are several ways to go with all this. AJ could turn heel. Balor, now that he's dropped the NXT belt, could come to RAW as the faction leader. Rollins could be behind all of this. It's a good story. It's just, really, the only story. Everything else is just bottom line "this guy hates this guy." Cesaro (now with full Bond opening) is after Miz's title. Owens and Zayn can't standsk each other. Jericho's clothes cost too damn much. It's all very Smackdown.
Twin Peaks: Your Guide to All the Returning Cast
Having remained silent on any details about Twin Peaks beyond the return of Kyle MacLachlan in the lead role of Special Agent Dale Cooper, Showtime went big yesterday, announcing 217 (!) different cast members who will be a part of the long-awaited revival of the beloved cult series.
This list included some very notable and sometimes out there participants, with everyone from Ashley Judd and Michael Cera to Eddie Vedder and Trent Reznor playing unspecified roles.
In the meantime though was confirmation on a ton of returning cast members, including mainstays of the original series to some notably deep cut entries from the fringes of Twin Peaks. While there are a few notable omissions (including Lara Flynn Boyle, Piper Laurie and Heather Graham), the show is clearly not lacking for familiar faces.
