Wonder Woman Reportedly Finds New Director
Director Patty Jenkins is reportedly set to helm Wonder Woman for Warner Bros.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. has "closed a deal" with Jenkins to take over the superhero film. Michelle MacLaren was originally helming Wonder Woman, but she left the project earlier this week because of creative differences.
This isn't the first time Jenkins has been attached to a blockbuster superhero movie. She was originally announced as the director of Thor: The Dark World before dropping out because of (you guessed it) creative differences.
3 Screens Make GTA 5 Even More Immersive
Among the many features stuffed into the PC version of GTA 5 is support for multi-monitor setups (up to three max). We’re not done with the game yet—not by far—so for fun, we decided to switch from playing it in 4K to rocking three 2560x1600 displays at the same time.
If you haven’t done a multi-monitor setup before, the software that pairs with today’s GPUs make it super simple. In fact, moving and plugging in the three HP ZR30w displays we used took longer than getting GTA 5 to treat them as a single monitor. For the Titan X video card we put inside one of our Red Squadron PCs, all we had to do was go into the Nvidia Control Panel, click on the “Configure Surround, PhysX” option, check the box for “Span displays with Surround,” then load the game and change our settings to a fullscreen resolution of 7680x1600.
Bloodborne Item Makes the Game Harder Without Telling You
You may have been playing Bloodborne in hard more without realizing it.
The Hand Lantern – a cheap light source that (ironically) frees up your hands for weapons – actually reduces the speed of your stamina regeneration without telling you. Check out the in-game description in the image below.
Stamina, if you don't know, is the resource used to attack, dodge, sidestep, and generally do things. It's very, very important.
Why Doesn’t Sailor Moon Have a New Video Game?
Bandai Namco Entertainment publishes numerous video games based on anime, including Naruto, One Piece, and Dragon Ball, but why haven’t they tackled making a modern Sailor Moon game?
“It really comes down to us being able to develop a compelling game that treats the Sailor Moon franchise the right way and we’d want to know that fans would support the game,” Tak Miyazoe, Senior Manager and IP Strategy at Bandai Namco told IGN. “ There are other factors that go into us deciding what we can and can’t make, but these two items would be some of the bigger questions we ask ourselves before diving into a project.”

Indie Dev Wants More Human WWII Games
Ori and the Blind Forest creator Thomas Mahler is disappointed with the way video games handle World War II and hopes to do something about that with one of his next projects.
Mahler's idea for a "Schindler's List for games" is simply called Project Memoir, which he describes in an interview with GamesIndustry.biz as an "extremely controversial" and "story-based game" rooted in true events outside the World War II battlefield.
In the interview, Mahler highlighted what he refers to as the "embarrassing" treatment of World War II in video games.
"There are so many World War II games coming out, and every single one misses the boat on the really interesting things you can tell here, super-fascinating things in terms of human psychology, the history of mankind, and so on," said Mahler. "And every single game was just about, well, shoot some Nazis. It's just stupid."
