Gearbox Working on ‘Authentic’ New Brothers in Arms Title
Gearbox Software is working on a new "authentic" Brothers in Arms title, according to Randy Pitchford.
Speaking to IGN at Develop: Brighton, Pitchford explained the project was still in its early stages and extra help was being sought, but once this was locked down he expected things to happen quickly.
"I think the next Brothers in Arms game has to be authentic and we have been working on that," he says. "I feel we have unfinished business there with both the fiction and the history and I’d like to get into that. I spend a lot of time thinking about it.
"Sadly it takes a lot of resources, energy and money to do what must be done, so it’s not something I feel I could completely do alone. I need good partners for it, so we’ve been talking to great folks but it’s really putting all that together that’s the limiting factor. Once we put all the partnerships together in terms of publishing, collaborators and creatives, we can talk about it.
The Flash’s Ezra Miller on Sharing the Role with Grant Gustin
Ezra Miller, who is set to play The Flash on the big screen, takes no issue with playing a superhero that already has an accompanying television series starring Grant Gustin.
"I'm not avoiding it at all. I think it's awesome," Miller told MTV News when asked about the The Flash television series.
"And come on, it's The Flash, it's parallel universes. Grant Gustin is The Flash and I'm The Flash. Don't you see? It's the event horizon. We've crossed it, baby! Grant and I are chilling. We're going to have a race, it will be dope."
Miller also discussed his love for comics, noting that this new role provides him with an excellent opportunity to indulge in his nerd fandom even more. "I've been a comic guy but I'm going in as hard as possible because I have a serious excuse to," he said. "I have the ultimate license to geek out so hard all the time!"

Comic Book Reviews for July 15, 2015
The comic industry slowed down a bit in the aftermath of Comic-Con, but only in the most relative sense. This was still a pretty big week for multiple publishers. DC delivered another epic chapter of The Darkseid War with Justice League #42, along with new issues of Harley Quinn, Black Canary and Green Lantern: The Lost Army.
Marvel launched another wave of Secret Wars tie-ins, such as Captain Britain and the Mighty Defenders, Guardians of Nowhere, Hail Hydra and Siege, alongside returning fare like Captain Marvel and the Carol Corps and Years of Future Past. Perhaps their biggest release, though, was the long-delayed final issue of Hawkeye, which nabbed a rare 10 rating from our Review Crew.

Is the Power of PlayStation Exploring Pluto?
Not only did the MIPS R3000 processor help to bring you some of the best games of the 90s, it also sent a spaceship to Pluto.
The New Horizons spacecraft performed a fly-by of Pluto this week and sent back the best image mankind has seen of the planet so far. According to The Verge, New Horizons uses the very same CPU that Sony built into the very first PlayStation, albeit a radiation-hardened version.
The 32-bit processor clocks in at 12MHz, which is nothing by today's standards, but is apparently enough to both run Silent Hill and send a spaceship 3 billion miles through space on schedule.
