Until Dawn: Rush of Blood Isn’t Your Typical On-Rails Shooter
“When you say ‘on-rails-shooter’ people roll their eyes.”
Executive Producer Simon Harris is talking while wiping my sweat off a Playstation VR headset. I just finished playing seven minutes of his new game, Until Dawn: Rush of Blood.
It’s funny that he mentions people rolling their eyes because less than 24 hours before this, I was sat in Sony’s Paris Games Week conference rolling my eyes as Rush of Blood was announced as one of Sony’s new virtual reality experiences. Here’s a studio that created one of the best horror games in recent years, Until Dawn, now busying themselves with something as antiquated as as on-rails shooter. This, however, is exactly where Harris and his studio Supermassive Games want us.

Deadpool: Colossus to Be Closer to Comics Version
Colossus actor Andre Tricoteux has confirmed that his portrayal of the X-Men character in Deadpool will draw heavily from the comics.
"The Colossus you're going to see in Deadpool is very true to the original character in the comic book," Tricoteux told TechTimes. "
Tim Miller had a really clear vision, and the Deadpool people had a really clear vision of what they wanted. They wanted Colossus to be very traditional to the original story."
Tricoteux also said that while Colossus fans "will get a better sense of who he is," he believes "there's still a lot more to be told about him," going so far as to suggest the character could get his own movie. "Colossus has been around in the comics since the '70s, so I mean, I think you could do your own movie on him," he said.
