Catwoman star Halle Berry has said she would like to revisit the 2004 movie, but with herself in the director's chair this time.

In an interview with Jake's Takes about her directorial debut Bruised, Berry was asked to reflect on her past filmograpy to consider which movie she would like to take another stab at, now that she's had some experience behind the camera. She said she would love to return to Catwoman and "reimagine that world" as a filmmaker.

"I would love to direct Catwoman. If I can get ahold of that now, knowing what I know, having had this experience, and reimagine that world the way I reimagined this story," Berry said. "Bruised was written for a white Irish Catholic 25 year old girl, and I got to reimagine it. I wish I could go back and reimagine Catwoman and redo that."

Berry considered some of the changes she'd make to the movie if she had the chance to remake it. "I would have Catwoman saving the world like most male superheroes do, and not just saving women from their faces cracking off," she said. "I would make the stakes a lot higher, and I think make it more inclusive of both men and women."

Catwoman was a massive misfire that many fans still consider one of the worst comic book adaptations of all time (if it can be called that considering how much was changed). Berry herself has said the story "didn't feel quite right," but she felt powerless at the time as she was just the "actor for hire" assigned to play the titular role.

Berry's heroine shared almost nothing in common with the source material beyond her codename. Anne Hathaway then took over the role in 2012's The Dark Knight Rises, playing an expert thief desperate to leave her troubled past behind. Zoe Kravitz is the next to step into Selina Kyle's slippery shoes for Matt Reeves' The Batman.

Kravitz, who was publicly congratulated by Berry on social media when she landed the role, revealed that she had to continue to train virtually during quarantine to prepare for the part, opposite Robert Pattinson. She previously portrayed Batman's on-again, off-again foe and love interest in The Lego Batman Movie.

We'll get to see how her performance translates to live-action when The Batman finally releases in theaters on March 4, 2022.

Private Division, the publishing subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive, has acquired OlliOlli series developer Roll7.

As reported by MCV UK, the publishing label purchased the London-based developer for an undisclosed sum. Roll7 is currently working on its latest installment of the OlliOlli series, OlliOlli World, which is set to be published by Private Division this winter.

In a statement, Executive Vice President and Head of Private Division Michael Worosz spoke positively about the publisher's relationship with the BAFTA award-winning studio. “We’re thrilled to welcome Roll7 to the Private Division family,” said Worosz. “As a team passionate about action sports ourselves, seeing how Roll7 combines the thrill of competition with the zen of achieving flow-state in a videogame is remarkable, and we can’t wait to show the world this phenomenon with our release of OlliOlli World this winter.”

Private Division was initially set up by Take-Two to publish games from independent developers, and has previously brought out The Outer Worlds, Disintegration, Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey and more. It previously agreed a deal to publish new games not just from Roll7, but Moon Studios (Ori & the Blind Forest) and League of Geeks (Armello).

Following Roll7's acquisition as part of the Private Division label, studio Co-CEO Simon Bennett spoke fondly about their work together so far. “Private Division has been an incredible publishing partner for OlliOlli World, and we’re elated to continue to grow as a studio as part of the label,” said Bennett.

“Private Division has empowered our amazing team to raise the bar on our creativity and scope for OlliOlli World. Joining the label puts us in a great position to continue to grow and to set our sights on achieving our ambition to become a pre-eminent global videogames developer.”

The official announcement trailer for OlliOlli World was revealed back in April. For more on the upcoming 2D skateboarding game, make sure to check out our hands-on preview, which discusses level variety, what's been kept from previous installments of the series, and the game's charming art style.

Battlefield 2042 isn't being fully released until this Friday, but many of those playing early haven't been pleased with the release version. Server issues, unexpected gunplay quirks, glitches, and UI design have been singled out for criticism by many in the community.

A cursory look at Reddit right now reveals headlines like "Do not buy Battlefield 2042", "Battlefield 2042 is completely unplayable", and "This game is a major step back for battlefield". Unfortunately for DICE, many of these posts are being written around completely different topics of complaint – we've listed some of players' most consistent problems below.

Server Problems

Battlefield launched last Friday as an EA Play trial, as well as offering the full version to those who've paid more for special editions or the EA Play Pro subscription. Unfortunately, many players found the new game to be unplayable because of an error when loading into servers, with Battlefield's support Twitter account acknowledging the issue. Almost a full day later, the account said the problem had been "significantly reduced", but many players reported requesting refunds within that time.

Gunshot Bloom

Perhaps the most consistent issue for players right now is the level of gunshot "bloom" to the game – a term for how shots will deviate from your exact crosshair aim, often used as a way to promote precision burst of fire rather than constant trigger-holding. While Battlefield games (like many shooters) have used bloom to some extent before, the level to which shots deviate in 2042 has caused a huge amount of discussion among players since the full version arrived.

For many, the amount of bloom now turns landing shots into as much a matter of luck as skill, a point of huge frustration for many players. You can see examples of the effect in the videos below:

Glitches

We'll get the big one out of the way first – hovercrafts can essentially climb buildings and fly, and are seemingly strong enough to be able to take down helicopters in a head-on collisions:

It's a common enough sight that flying hovercraft have begun to become a meme among the community, with some going as far as to say that they should be kept as-is for comedic value alone.

Unfortunately, it's far from the only glitch being reported. One particularly serious problem sees players getting downed and becoming unable to be revived, but also unable to die and respawn. The only meaningful way out of the issue is to be either fully killed by an enemy (which can be difficult in a chaotic 128-player match), or to quit the match entirely.

Other, less frequent problems reported by players include clipping through scenery into out-of-bounds areas on the map, being stuck in a crouched state or unable to switch weapon, and even being able to shoot yourself from a vehicle while your character model is still climbing into the vehicle.

UI Complaints

The UI for the game, both inside and outside of matches, has been criticised by many players. Some issues revolve around overblown complexity, with gun customisation receiving the brunt of criticism here. Others revolve around a lack of information compared to previous games, from the game not indicating how many players are being waited for before a match begins, to making it a more fiddly experience to choose a spawn point.

In-game, many have complained about opaque HUD elements that can inadvertently cover up parts of the screen in tense situations, while large pop-in banners that indicate who has majority control of areas in matches have been criticised since the game's beta.

With Battlefield 2042's full launch coming up this week, many players will be hoping to hear DICE or EA comment on the issues and perhaps promise changes in an early patch. So far, there's been no official word on players' concerns – we've contacted EA for comment.

A supposed casting sheet for a Daredevil project at Marvel Studios has seemingly leaked online, further fuelling rumors of Matt Murdock's appearance in the MCU.

ComicBook.com picked up on a tweet from @RPK_News1, aka industry scooper Daniel RPK, showing a screenshot of what appears to be a talent grid for an upcoming Daredevil project at Marvel Studios. The grid doesn't contain any crewmember or cast member names, nor does it state whether the project is a movie or a series.

Daredevil reboot rumors started swirling in the wake of the property reverting from its multi-year tenure at Netflix, where the series lasted for three seasons before being cancelled in 2018, back to Marvel Studios. The switch of ownership saw fans reignite their #SaveDaredevil campaign to plead with Kevin Feige to bring the show back.

Writer and actor David Hayter stirred up even more speculation with comments about the rumored reboot at MCM London Comic Con. "They're doing a reboot of Daredevil" he said. "I loved the first way they did it, but there's certain things that I would want to adapt from the Frank Miller run on Daredevil that really meant a lot to me."

However, Hayter later clarified his comments in a tweet that confirmed he has "no inside information whatsoever" on the rumored Daredevil reboot. "No, I did not 'confirm' a Daredevil reboot," he wrote in the tweet. "I mistakenly thought I'd read in the trades that it was happening, and I would love to see it. (And yes, I'd love to write it.)"

It has been rumored that Charlie Cox will return to our screens in the upcoming Spider-Man: No Way Home, though Cox has previously stated that he won't back: "It's certainly not with my Daredevil," he said. "I'm not involved in it." Andrew Garfield has also denied that he's in the movie, but we've all been fooled by actors before.

Tom Holland has said the cast and crew are treating No Way Home as the "end of a franchise," and it certainly seems like they are set to go out with a bang when the film hits theaters on December 17. Holland will star alongside Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange, with Zendaya and Jacob Batalon also returning as MJ and Ned.

Head of Xbox Phil Spencer has discussed his regret around the original announcement of Halo Infinite as an Xbox Series X/S launch game, saying that his team should have been honest with itself about whether the game was ready to show off and release.

Speaking to British GQ, Spencer looked back the original gameplay reveal of Halo Infinite, which was famously shown off and delayed shortly afterwards: “I don’t like how we did it. I don’t like that we showed the game, talked about it launching at the launch of the consoles. And then within a month we had moved it.”

Spencer added that the decision to delay Halo Infinite just a few months before its intended launch wasn't an attempt to fool anyone: “We should have known before and just been honest with ourselves. We were there not out of deception, but more out of... hope. And I don't think hope is a great development strategy.”

The delay has lasted more than a year, but early signs point to that having been a worthwhile wait. After a campaign hands-on, we said that "most of our concerns about Master Chief’s long-awaited spiritual reboot melted away." Meanwhile, a technical preview of the multiplayer mode left us very enthused.

Even Craig – a brutal, if funny, meme about the quality of Halo Infinite's original visuals – is now seen as a positive factor for the final game. Developer 343 has made clear that Craig, "was one of the factors in gaining some more time to finish work and get Brutes to a place where the team is happy with them. This is one of the many positive examples of 343 working with and aligning with the Halo community around expectations."

We've got a lot more Halo Infinite as part of our month-long IGN First, from an unboxing of its limited edition console, to a reveal of one of its new villains, to information on how its multiplayer mode will approach battle passes.

Head of Xbox Phil Spencer has all but confirmed that The Elder Scrolls VI will be an Xbox console exclusive.

In an interview with British GQ, Spencer said that he sees the sequel to Skyrim as a similar case to fellow Bethesda title Starfield, which was confirmed for Xbox Series X/S and PC earlier this year.

At least in part, his reasoning seems to come down to what the Xbox ecosystem can offer its exclusives, including Cloud Gaming, Xbox Live services, and more:

“It’s not about punishing any other platform, like I fundamentally believe all of the platforms can continue to grow,” Spencer told GQ. “But in order to be on Xbox, I want us to be able to bring the full complete package of what we have. And that would be true when I think about Elder Scrolls VI. That would be true when I think about any of our franchises.”

Ever since Xbox bought Bethesda parent company ZeniMax Media, The Elder Scrolls 6's position as a possible exclusive has been a topic of debate. As arguably Bethesda's biggest franchise, there's been much made of whether Xbox would help or hinder itself by allowing the next Elder Scrolls game to be released on competing platforms.

Microsoft has previously said that Bethesda games would be released "first or better or best" on Xbox, but Bethesda's Todd Howard said that it was "hard to imagine" The Elder Scrolls 6 as an Xbox exclusive. Now, it seems as though the pendulum has swung the other way, with Spencer sounding far more bullish about the eagerly anticipated RPG staying on Microsoft-controlled platforms.

Elsewhere in the piece, Todd Howard reiterated that The Elder Scrolls 6 is still being designed, but added that the ultimate goal for the game remained similar to previous installments in the series:

"You go back and you read a review of the first Elder Scrolls. And then you read The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion's, then you read The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim's. You black out a couple things. And they read the same. 'You've stepped out and oh my gosh, it feels so real.' People change. Technology changes. But the ultimate goal is still to make it so that, when you boot the game up, you feel like you've been transported.”

It will still be at least several years before we play the game, especially as Howard told us that making Starfield was now-or-never, but we can expect the game to follow some familiar lines, with Bethesda Game Studios remaining committed to making single-player experiences.

A skin in Battlefield 2042 is being renamed after it was discovered to have a link to the Russo-Ukrainian War.

Now that Battlefield 2042 is in early access, many players are quickly going through everything the game has to offer to see what they can unlock and earn as they play. During their search, certain players have found that Russian specialist Pyotr "Boris" Gukovsky has an Epic skin called "Little Green Man."

This upset many, including @Waggle_ua, who asked Battlefield 2042 developer DICE, "are you ok with jokingly putting the Russian terrorists that occupied part of my country?"

@EA @EA_DICE are you ok with jokingly putting the Russian terrorists that occupied part of my country? Why not add dunno isis or taliban units to the mix? https://t.co/YlugdMDaYyhttps://t.co/uuhi49xwYL pic.twitter.com/NUBIwMOokR

For those unaware, the phrase little green men was in reference to Russian soldiers who took part in the annexation of Crimea during the Ukrainian crisis of 2014. These soldiers wore unmarked green uniforms and, even though they carried Russian equipment, Russia initially denied they were from their country.

Russian President Vladimir Putin eventually confirmed that these "little green men" were Russian, and it turned out they were special forces that were sent into Crimea.

DICE responded to @Waggle_ua, saying "We sincerely appreciate you bringing this to our attention. The use of the name was unintentional, and you've helped us to make a positive change in the game. Thank you."

The developer also confirmed it would be "changing the name in a forthcoming update" and that while "it unintentionally references a real world issue," it "isn't reflective of our team's values."

Battlefield 2042 players are using Battlefield Portal to join XP farms in hopes to rack up experience to unlock items in-game. Unfortunately, many are quickly discovering that these servers are traps and that they are the ones being hunted.

Battlefield Portal is a new way for players to create their own multiplayer experiences by mixing and matching elements from Battlefield 2042, Battlefield 1942, Battlefield Bad Company 2, and Battlefield 3. This means players can create knives versus defibrillator battles, pit one soldier against 64, and much more.

However, as reported by PC Gamer, many early players are creating XP farming servers that are basically a small human team fighting against a larger team of bots that have little health and no guns. What makes this a problem in Battlefield 2042 is that players who join one of these servers after the smaller human team is full are thrown onto the bot team to be slaughtered.

While this would cause many to instantly quit, PC Gamer's Tyler Wilde noted that there are certain players who are attempting to defeat the odds and rise up against their attackers.

"What's really funny is that not everyone leaves after discovering that only a handful of players in the server are XP farming and they aren't one of them," Wilde wrote. "I've stuck around and watched players desperately run at their tormentors with knives over and over.

"Somewhere along the line, a rumor must've started that typing '/switch' or '/swapteam' into chat puts you on the other team, because there's a lot of that. It does not work. I've also seen strings of players type '/gun,' apparently hoping that the command will give them a gun. It does not."

EA has been working on resolving this issue and decreasing these XP gains for these XP farmers. It's a good thing too, as this issue is impacting more than just those wannabe XP farmers that are turned to prey as it is also causing the Battlefield Portal server limit to be maxed out. EA has confirmed it is working to free up more servers as well.

Battlefield 2042 is set to officially be released on October 18, 2021. However, those with EA Play or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate can play a 10-hour trial right now. Additionally, those who purchased the Gold or Ultimate Editions of the game can also jump in early.

In our Battlefield 2042 review in progress, we said, "After a dozen hours with Battlefield 2042, it’s clear not all of its new ideas are entirely successful, but the ones that are can be seriously impressive."
