Modern role-playing games (RPGs) have been heavily influenced by trends like online play, constantly updated content, and large, open worlds. This has led to some older features, such as traditional turn-based battles and smaller, self-contained game areas, becoming less common. However, these classic elements still have a lot to offer, and here are five RPG mechanics that deserve a return in today’s games.

For the first time in its almost 30-year run, One Piece is changing its production schedule, and this shift is likely to reshape how anime is made. One Piece was one of the last big anime series still releasing episodes weekly, a tradition from the older days of Shonen Jump. Moving to a seasonal release schedule signals a new era, and ultimately, this change will be a positive one for the anime industry.
The Spider-Armor MK 1 is famous for its bold silver and black design and heavy-duty metal construction. Despite being a fan favorite, Marvel hasn’t featured it much lately, preferring more advanced armors. Those newer suits, while technically superior, sometimes feel too powerful and more suited to Iron Man than to Spider-Man, who typically operates on a more personal, street-level scale. The Spider-Armor MK 1 stands out because its combination of strengths and weaknesses makes it a uniquely memorable and believable suit for Peter Parker.
Here are three original sci-fi movies from Netflix that had all the potential to launch successful franchises, but currently appear to be one-time films. However, there’s still a chance for at least one of them to become more.
The 2017 film Life, featuring Ryan Reynolds, Jessica Ferguson, and Jake Gyllenhaal, taps into the popular fascination with alien stories. The movie centers on astronauts stationed on the International Space Station who believe they’ve found proof of life on Mars.

As a longtime Stephen King enthusiast and movie critic, I’ve seen a lot of adaptations that miss the mark. But the upcoming remake of The Running Man, hitting theaters November 14th, sounds genuinely promising. While the 1980s version took the basic premise and ran with it in a very different direction, this new take, directed by Edgar Wright, seems to be much more faithful to King’s original story. In fact, Glen Powell recently told Screen Rant that Arnold Schwarzenegger, who starred in the ’87 film, believes this is the first time the story has truly captured Stephen King’s vision. That’s a pretty strong endorsement, and as someone who appreciates a faithful adaptation, I’m cautiously optimistic.
