The Resident Evil series has evolved a lot since the first Code: Veronica came out in 2000. Recent remakes have changed some established story details, and that’s not even considering what happened in Resident Evil: Requiem. However, producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi assured Famitsu (as reported by IGN) that the new remake will take all of these changes into account.
So, did it live up to the hype? It’s complicated. There are definite improvements that make the three-year wait feel worthwhile. However, some of the common issues with sports simulators still exist here, for better or worse. Let’s begin with the positives: the fighting mechanics are a real highlight of the game.

Despite offering a richer city environment and optional side goals, Gears of War developer The Coalition is keeping the main story on a set path. However, according to creative director Matt Searcy, this campaign will be their longest yet – exceeding 14 hours in length.

Viz Media recently revealed its Spring 2027 anime and manga plans, and fans are especially excited about the English language release of a highly anticipated sequel manga. The first of three volumes will be available soon, though the exact release date is still to come – Viz Media promises an update before the end of the year.

As seen in Game of Thrones, Melisandre is roughly 400 years old during the show’s timeline, and her past before aligning with Stannis Baratheon remains a secret. Like Alys Rivers from House of the Dragon, Melisandre appears much younger than she actually is, experiences visions and prophecies, practices dark magic, and impacts those vying for power over the Iron Throne.

Gayle Rankin, who plays Alys, recently discussed this theory with Chris Killian from ComicBook before the release of Season 3 of House of the Dragon, saying:
Paul Corrigan, the executive producer of the Ted animated show, recently explained what made the original movie and TV series so successful. He said the franchise, despite its often crude and mature content, has a lot of heart, and the new show will continue to explore themes of family and friendship – specifically, what it means to be a good dad, spouse, or friend. They also plan to expand the Ted universe, as is typical with television adaptations.
So, Jeff Sneider dropped some interesting news in his latest newsletter! Apparently, things aren’t quite what we thought with the new cast members for The Batman: Part II. I was hearing rumors about who everyone would be playing, but it sounds like those were way off. Instead of the character many assumed, Ben Stanfield is reportedly going to play Victor Zsasz – a seriously creepy serial killer from the comics. Think Jigsaw from Saw, but maybe even more unsettling. And get this: Brian Tyree Henry isn’t necessarily playing Two-Face as we expected! He’ll be Harvey Dent, the District Attorney, but it’s not confirmed if he’ll actually become Two-Face in the movie. It’s a cool twist, and definitely makes me even more hyped to see what director Matt Reeves has planned.
