In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Gorillaz creators Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett talked about the band’s history and creative work. The interviewer suggested Gorillaz paved the way for the game KPop Demon Hunters, a connection Albarn readily acknowledged, though with frustration. He stated that, along with the ABBA hologram concert, many of their original concepts have been adopted and heavily commercialized by others, leaving little truly new.

Science fiction is doing really well in movies and TV, with films like the upcoming Project Hail Mary generating a lot of excitement. However, many great sci-fi stories actually start as books. There’s a huge selection of fantastic sci-fi novels out there, and often the books explore ideas in more detail than any movie or show could. Here are ten exceptional sci-fi books that are truly masterpieces. Some have been adapted to the screen before, while others haven’t – but all would make great films or series. You might notice some famous classics like Dune, Foundation, Frankenstein, and The Left Hand of Darkness aren’t included, but that’s not because they aren’t amazing. It’s simply because the world of science fiction is vast, and we wanted to share some lesser-known gems that you might love.

One of the most compelling aspects of Silent Hill f was how it successfully demonstrated the series’ core ideas could work in new settings and with different stories. Despite feeling fresh and distinct from other Silent Hill games, it still maintained the familiar atmosphere and scares fans expect. Silent Hill: Townfall appears to be taking a similar path, which is encouraging for the future of the franchise. This approach could be key to Konami’s plans for more Silent Hill games, allowing them to satisfy long-time fans while also giving developers the creative freedom to craft their own unique narratives.

Even though characters in comic books, especially villains, rarely stay dead, many have met truly awful ends. Considering the harm these villains have caused, their grim fates feel justified, proving that everyone eventually faces consequences for their actions.

When a fan asked on Threads if The Brave and the Bold would be released after The Batman Part 3, James Gunn simply replied “Nope.” He didn’t offer any further details about the film’s progress or release timeline.

It’s great to see new stories acknowledge the past, but they shouldn’t rely too heavily on just referencing old favorites without adding anything new. Otherwise, it can feel manipulative, like a cheap trick to appeal to nostalgia. While I’m not sure what the exact reason is for these kinds of references, I can see why people are skeptical when established storylines are revisited. Star Trek has a long history, and changing things can easily backfire. That’s why the choice to revive an idea that was quickly abandoned during The Next Generation feels so unusual, even a little risky.

Right after the news came out about the Demon’s Souls remake developer, a planned post for Marathon appeared on all of PlayStation’s social media accounts.

The studio behind the critically acclaimed Demon’s Souls Remake for PlayStation 5, Bluepoint Games, is closing its doors in March. Sony announced the decision after a recent business review. Around 70 employees will be affected, though the company expressed gratitude for their dedication and skill.

After more than five years, things feel quite different now. We’ve moved past simply pointing out that this console generation is still young or wishing for more exclusive games, particularly from PlayStation, like we did in the past. While last year had a couple of standout hits, 2024 was noticeably lacking in first-party releases, relying mostly on games from other developers. It’s a year many will remember for Sony’s attempt at ongoing, service-based games failing to gain traction.
