Hideo Kojima was at work on a big project following Death Stranding, but he has since said it was recently scrapped. An interview published by Livedoor News and translated by Gematsu with Kojima revealed some interesting details about what Kojima has been up to in his post-Death Stranding days. He was at work on this unknown "big project," but his team has now entered the planning stages for what could be Kojima Productions' next big game. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=death-stranding-timefall-jacket-replica&captions=true"] "I can't say anything since it's still in the planning stages, but we're doing various work behind the scenes," Kojima told Livedoor News. "Just recently, a big project fell apart, so I'm a bit upset about that." Don't sweat it too much though, Kojima Productions fans — Kojima laughed it off and said it happens often in the video game industry. As for what Kojima is working on now, it's not anything related to Metal Gear Solid or P.T. (Silent Hills). He told Livedoor News that those rumors about acquiring the rights to those franchises are "completely false," or that he "hasn't heard anything about it at least." Elsewhere in the interview, Kojima said Death Stranding is making a profit and has earned enough to make up for the development costs. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/04/09/death-stranding-pc-ultrawide-support-showcase-2-trailer"] "We surpassed the amount we needed to make a profit, so I think it sold well enough to be called a 'success,' recoupment of development costs included," Kojima said. "We'll release the PC version soon and have already secured enough profit to prepare for what's next, so there's no need to worry." As for what exactly is next, only Kojima and his team likely know. In the meantime, read up on the Half-Life content coming to the PC version of Death Stranding. If you need more Death Stranding in your life, check out this $2000 jacket based on the game. The PC release of Death Stranding is expected to come in July after a recent delay.

Attack on Titan's fourth and final season has received its first teaser trailer and new key art, hinting at things to come. The teaser reveals the first footage of Attack of Titan's final season, as well as the show's staff and new animation studio MAPPA, the same studio behind Yuri!!! on Ice. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=attack-on-titan-final-season-teaser-trailer-screenshots&captions=true"] As reported by AnimeNewsNetwork, Dorohedoro's Yuichiro Hayashi will be directing the final season while Mob Psycho 100's Hiroshi Seko will take the lead on the scripts. Alongside the keyart, which you can see below, it was also announced that a compilation film titled Shingeki no Kyojin: Chronicle will be released in Japan on July 17, 2020 and will summarize the show's first three seasons. No date was given at the end of the teaser, possibly meaning that Attack on Titan's final season may be delayed from its original Fall 2020 release window. Attack on Titan's first season premiered in 2013, and it took until 2018 and 2019 for fans to receive seasons 2 and 3. At the Fourth Annual Crunchyroll Anime Awards, Attack on Titan's third season took home Best Director, while Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba took home the prize for Anime of the Year. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/01/03/top-10-most-anticipated-anime-of-2020"] Attack on Titan, which made our list of Best Anime of the Decade (2010-2019), may also be getting another live action adaptation, and it has been reported that director Andy Muschietti had signed on to the film in 2018, but it's been mostly quiet since then.

PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan is uninterested in making PS5 games run on PS4 hardware, stating that developers working on next-generation games should “make the most” of the new console’s advanced features. Talking to GamesIndustry, Ryan said “We believe that when you go to all the trouble of creating a next-gen console, that it should include features and benefits that the previous generation does not include. And that, in our view, people should make games that can make the most of those features.” [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/18/playstation-5-specs-detailed-ign-now"] The PS5 features a variety of new tech that is bespoke to the console, such as a controller that provides haptic feedback to simulate surfaces, and an SSD that offers 100x higher data transfer speeds, allowing for game data to be allocated in different ways compared to traditional mechanical hard drives. Simply put, these things can’t be translated to the PS4 hardware because the older console is not capable of doing so. It appears Ryan would much rather developers take full advantage of the new technology instead of worrying about cross-generation support. “We do believe in generations, and whether it's the DualSense controller, whether it's the 3D audio, whether it's the multiple ways that the SSD can be used,” he said. “We are thinking that it is time to give the PlayStation community something new, something different, that can really only be enjoyed on PS5." This approach is different from that being employed by Microsoft. The plan there is for Xbox Series X games to also work on the older Xbox One hardware, albeit running at lower quality. The approach means developers must consider the limitations of older technology while developing for what is technically the most powerful of the two next-generation consoles. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=confirmed-playstation-5-games&captions=true"] We’re set to see more from Sony at the next PlayStation 5 conference, which will take place in June. The console is still set for release this year, and Ryan has said that COVID-19 will not impact the PS5’s price.

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/27/ps5-no-delay-because-of-covid-19-says-sony-ign-news"] Talking to BBC Radio 1 Newsbeat, Ryan would not confirm a price, but did state that the pandemic had not changed PlayStation’s pricing plans.

While he notes that hardware engineers have been unable to get to China to complete their work on finalising prototypes, Ryan states that “everybody's just rolled their sleeves up and got on with it”.

Sony has announced that a PS5 conference will be broadcast on Thursday, June 4 at 1pm Pacific / 4pm Eastern / 9pm UK. Confirmed on the PlayStation blog, the show will last around an hour, and will be the first in a series of updates. As you might expect, we'll be seeing PS5 games shown off at the event - Sony hasn't specifically said that we'll see the PS5 unit itself, though.

Join us Thursday, June 4 at 1:00pm Pacific time for a look at the future of gaming on PlayStation 5: https://t.co/Yr8fafcOVd #PS5 pic.twitter.com/F0yBbDmOtC

On the PS Blog, PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan said: "The games coming to PS5 represent the best in the industry from innovative studios that span the globe. Studios, both larger and smaller, those newer and those more established, all have been hard at work developing games that will showcase the potential of the hardware." Speaking to the BBC, Ryan added that the show will attempt to translate some of the excitement of Sony's previous keynotes for an at-home audience: "Normally you would be in Los Angeles in some auditorium with 2000 other people. You'd be able to cut the adrenaline and the testosterone with a knife. We've got to find a way to do that and give the community little bit of a jolt. When you watch the show next week, I think you'll see that we've been able to do that." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=confirmed-playstation-5-games&captions=true"] IGN will, of course, be covering the show in its entirety, so make sure to check back with us next Thursday. June 4 also marks the first day of IGN's Summer of Gaming - check out how to watch our Summer of Gaming shows all month. Earlier today, a report emerged that said all future PS4 games must be compatible with PS5 - as well as claiming PS4 versions of The Last of Us Part 2 and Ghost of Tsushima will be PS5-compatible.

R.L. Stine's popular children's horror book series Goosebumps is coming to consoles in video game form. Cosmic Forces is partnering with Sony Pictures and Scholastic to create Goosebumps: Dead of Night, which will be released this Summer for PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch. As you can see in the official announcement trailer above, Goosebumps: Dead of Night is a first-person survival horror game, and its premise involves known Goosebumps villain Slappy the Dummy stealing classic pages from the book series, resulting in a horde of monsters setting out to look for you. Expect puzzle solving and the occasional jump-scare, and actor Jack Black, who is no stranger to video games (Brutal Legend), voices RL Stine. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=goosebumps-dead-of-night-screenshots&captions=true"] Cosmic Forces calls Dead of Night a "reimagining" of their mobile VR game, Goosebumps: Night of Scares. This console version adds improved graphics, additional gameplay chapters, new monsters, and expanded Stine House, improved AI, and more. Check out IGN's reviews of Goosebumps' "scary-good" 2015 film adaptation, along with the "slapdash" 2018 sequel, Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween.

A dedicated Marvel superfan has shared a comprehensive list of every single MCU scene, arranged in chronological order. Disney parks reviewer Tony Goldmark proudly announced his staggering achievement on Twitter, as he posted four screenshots mapping out each individual scene, from the 23 MCU movies released so far, in a timeline format.

Well nerds, I fuckin' did it.

Took me a global pandemic and a damn quarantine, but I did it. I figured out the precise chronological order of all the MCU movies (so far) BY SCENE. I'm out of my Goddamn mind. You're welcome. pic.twitter.com/3VXjqk4kjQ — what if a sandwich could make YOU? (@tonygoldmark) May 27, 2020

The lengthy list opens with the prologue of Thor: The Dark World before moving through the Thor franchise and then into Wakanda's history in Black Panther. After that, it continues on with Captain America: The Winter Soldier, then most of Captain America: The First Avenger, and it keeps going until it reaches its conclusion with Spider-Man: Far From Home. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/05/01/russo-brothers-on-the-future-of-the-marvel-cinematic-universe"] "Armed with a Disney+ subscription and a sudden surplus of free time, my goal was to list the exact order (or at least AN exact order) of when every scene from every movie takes place within the MCU chronology," Goldmark wrote in a blog post discussing the now-viral project. He said he set out "a few basic guidelines and caveats" before committing to the herculean task, as he explained that his timeline only covers the 23 MCU movies so far, meaning that no ABC or Netflix shows, shorts or deleted scenes made it into the 118-scene list. Further to this, Goldmark said he assessed flashback sequences on a "case-by-case basis" to determine whether to slot them into their proper place on the timeline or whether to keep them rooted in their respective movie's "present." "My rule was, I could only back up the Endgame time travel scenes into their proper 'time' in non-redundant instances where a full scene, with a proper beginning, middle and end, was completely unaffected by the future Avengers' time-heist shenanigans," he said. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=marvel-phases-1-3-the-mcus-infinity-saga-ranked&captions=true"] Over the past decade, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has become a global phenomenon, with a diverse collection of superhero movies enjoying colossal success on a global scale. Last year, Avengers: Endgame earned the title of the highest-grossing movie of all time after generating nearly $2.80 billion worldwide. Before Marvel officially launches its Phase 4 slate, there could be some alternative fan-crafted content on the way, as one Twitter user has revealed that he is now following the timestamps on Goldmark's exhaustive rundown to edit the new order into a colossal chronological supercut of the MCU thus far.
