Tetris Effect: Players Finally Find Stage With THAT Music
Tetris Effect puts a refreshing and entrancing spin on the puzzle game we've been playing for decades, and a large part of that comes down to the music. Still, fans hoping to hear the classic Tetris theme won't be disappointed, as it has just been discovered as part of a weekly challenge.
According to Eurogamer, during the game's launch weekend, a "Weekly Ritual" event tasked players with contributing points in order to hit a collective goal. They managed to do it, and Tetris Effect unlocked the "1989" stage as a reward. It is no longer available to most players, but those who hit level 50 will unlock it for good.
Fallout 76: Bethesda Outlines Post-Launch Additions, Including More Vaults
Fallout 76 officially releases November 14, but the game you play at launch won't be the exact same game you play down the road.
In a post on the official Bethesda website, the Bethesda Game Studios team said that it was committed to continue to improve Fallout 76 over time, and that work had already been done as a result of the B.E.T.A. test.
"We have an incredible list of updates we've begun work on – from C.A.M.P. building improvements, new quests and events, new Vaults opening, character respecing, a faction-based PvP system, and much more."
Blizzard Announces Official Overwatch Cosplay Battle
Blizzard is organizing a cosplay competition that pits six European nations against one another to see who can make the best Overwatch hero costume.
Called Overwatch Cosplay Battle, the competition "is a celebration of creativity, craftsmanship, and national pride," according to a press release.
Three cosplayers from each country – France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Spain, and the United Kingdom – will work for three months on a single costume. Each team's costume will be influenced by a community vote. The voting page isn't live yet, but it should be soon. Blizzard will announce the winning costumes from the fan vote on November 26.
Did DC Just Design the Perfect Batman Costume?
This week's Batman #58 is one of the best-looking Batman comics you're likely to find on the stands right now. That's not surprising, given that Mikel Janin has long since established himself as one of the top Batman artists in the business. There is one weird quirk to be found in this issue, however. Due to an unusual choice of lighting, one page features Batman wearing what seems to be a combination of his current costume and his previous DC Rebirth suit.
You can argue over whether this particular embellishment works well, especially since nowhere else in the comic does Batman's cape have that purplish tinge. But whether intentionally or not, Janin and colorist Jordie Bellaire may have created the perfect Batman costume.
Toy Story 4: New Trailer Introduces Ducky & Bunny, Played By Key & Peele
Only a day after the first teaser trailer, a new Toy Story 4 video has revealed two new characters, Ducky and Bunny, played by Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key.
Framed as a reaction video to yesterday's trailer, it's not just a surprise because we got a teaser so recently – the comedy duo weren't even listed on the movie's IMDB page until the new teaser went live, and we'd heard no rumours about their involvement.
The YouTube description for the trailer explains the characters a little more: "Woody’s journey in 'Toy Story 4' includes a visit to a carnival where he meets Ducky and Bunny, two carnival prizes who are eager to be won."
They aren't the only new characters announced for the film this week. Yesterday's trailer introduced Forky (played by Tony Hale), a spork seemingly having an existential crisis about being turned into a toy. Here's everything we know about him so far.
Nintendo ROM Site Lawsuit Results in $12 Million Judgement
Nintendo has been awarded $12,230,000 by an Arizona judge following its lawsuit against two ROM hosting sites.
Back in July, Nintendo issued lawsuits to LoveRETRO and LoveROMS, both run by the same married couple, Jacob and Cristian Mathias. The couple have since taken down both sites, and entered settlement negotiations with Nintendo to avoid a legal battle.
TorrentFreak now reports that the two sides have agreed to a consent judgement. Unsigned judgement documents read: “Plaintiff is hereby awarded judgment against all Defendants, jointly and severally, in the amount of $12,230,000”.
