Does Red Dead 2 Try To Be Too Realistic?
BEYOND!
On this week's episode of IGN's weekly PlayStation show, Beyond!, host Jonathon Dornbush is joined by Brian Altano, Barrett Courtney, and Max Scoville to discuss their impressions of Red Dead Redemption 2 so far. Of course, be sure to check out IGN's Red Dead 2 review, and our extensive Red Dead Redemption 2 wiki guide if you're currently playing the game.
The crew also discusses how they feel about the PlayStation Classic lineup, and how remakes and remasters may have hampered the Classic's list from the start. Plus, they jump into our updated top 25 PS4 games list (which you can check out in gallery form below), during which Max makes Jonathon feel very silly.

Diablo 3 on Switch May Have Outed an Unannounced Amiibo
Diablo 3: Eternal Collection on Nintendo Switch reveals a currently unannounced amiibo early in a tutorial pop-up.
Early in the game, a "Use Amiibo" prompt shows a picture of a Treasure Goblin amiibo, which has not yet been revealed by Blizzard or Nintendo.
The Treasure Goblin amiibo bears a striking resemblance to an already released Cute But Deadly figurine, so the asset in-game could potentially be placeholder. If the amiibo is legitimate, we're unsure what rewards you'll get for using it in the game for now.

Here’s Your First Look at Henry Cavill in The Witcher Netflix Series
Netflix has given us our first look at The Witcher series' star, Henry Cavill in costume as Geralt of Rivia to celebrate the show beginning formal production.
In a clip shared on Cavill's Instagram page and the Netflix Twitter account, we see the actor in full costume and makeup, with the long silver hair Geralt also sports in CD Projekt Red's video game trilogy. We don't, however, see his prominent scars, or the beard he sported for much of The Witcher 3. Cavill is silent during the clip, but takes a swig from a flask to show that he's definitely in character.
Why Henry Cavill Doesn’t Have a Beard in Netflix’s The Witcher
Netflix's unveiling of Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia in full costume has polarized fans of both the video game franchise and Andrzej Sapkowski's best-selling novels, with each side giving their two cents on how the White Wolf should actually look.
The Netflix series is using the books as source material - not the popular game franchise - and in Sapkowski's novels, Geralt doesn't enjoy having a beard. In an excerpt from The Time of Contempt, Geralt asks his friend and legendary poet, Dandelion, if he can borrow his razor:
Geralt: "Do you have a razor?"
Dandelion: "Eh? Of course I do."
Geralt: "Lend it to me tomorrow morning. This beard of mine is driving me insane."

Betrayal Legacy Makes a Fantastic Horror Game Even Better, Out Today
This article was originally published on Oct 31, 2018, but we're repromoting it as Betrayal Legacy is out today for $75. Note that if you buy something through this post, IGN may get a share of the sale. For more, read our Terms of Use.
Betrayal at House on the Hill was already a well-loved board game, but its upcoming Legacy version from designer Rob Daviau has somehow made it even better. It takes the original’s randomized haunted house mechanics and centers them around the story of a single house that shifts (and gets considerably more spooky) over nearly 400 years of history.
