Sony is releasing a special, gold-colored version of its DualSense controller. It’s clearly inspired by the James Bond film Goldfinger, featuring the movie’s logo on the touchpad. We can’t wait to see it in person – it looks fantastic, and we hope it avoids the stick drift issues some controllers have.

Okay, so the launch trailer just dropped, and let me tell you, it looks awesome! We get a good look at Flux, Ekku, and Vekta, and their powers are seriously cool. It really shows off how fast-paced the combat is going to be, and I’m getting some hints about the story – it looks like there’s a really interesting world to explore, and I can’t wait to dive in and see what happens!

Released in 1997, Starship Troopers is a sci-fi action movie directed by Paul Verhoeven and written by Edward Neumeier. The film, based on Robert A. Heinlein’s novel, takes place in the 23rd century and follows young Johnny Rico as he and his fellow soldiers fight an alien race called the Arachnids in a war for Earth’s government, the United Citizen Federation. While the movie, starring Casper Van Dien, Dina Meyer, Denise Richards, Jake Busey, Neil Patrick Harris, Patrick Muldoon, and Michael Ironside, wasn’t a big success when it came out and received negative reviews, it’s now being recognized as a brilliant satire. Initially, some believed it promoted fascist ideas, but now viewers see it as a clever commentary on those very ideas.

It’s no surprise some fighting game fans prefer older titles these days. Newer games often launch with disappointing updates and rely heavily on ongoing, live service models. Games like Killer Instinct (2013) and Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2 might not be as popular as Street Fighter 6 or Mortal Kombat 1, but they tend to have incredibly dedicated communities. When you add the initial excitement players felt with continued content updates years later, you can build a thriving community that avoids many of the problems common in fighting games.
