Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Was Designed to be Less “Extreme” Than Predecessor – Hideo Kojima

One of my biggest worries while working on Death Stranding 2: On the Beach was making sure it felt like the first game, but also giving players ways to handle the challenges a bit better. We definitely learned from the first Death Stranding – it was tough in places! Hideo Kojima-san said we really thought about the difficulty. We wanted to keep the core gameplay and themes intact, but smooth things out so it’s more approachable. That’s why we added a bunch more vehicles – to give players more options and make things a little easier.

14 Years Ago Today, A Masterpiece Sci-Fi Episode Landed That Robert Downey Jr. Almost Turned Into a Movie

Written by Jesse Armstrong, the creator of popular sitcoms like Peep Show, Fresh Meat, and Succession, “The Entire History of You” imagined a future where people could record and rewatch their memories thanks to an implanted device called a “grain.” The episode centers on a couple, Liam and Ffion Foxwell (played by Toby Kebbell and Jodie Whittaker), and the story was originally planned as a standalone movie.

EA Shutting Down AAA Game Permanetly in 24 Hours

Over the past few months, EA has closed down several games without much explanation. For example, the 2019 racing game Grid hasn’t been available to buy for two years, and EA never said why it was removed from online stores. It’s likely the licenses for the game expired.

Web3’s TCP/IP Moment: The Missing Puzzle Piece 🧩

Muriel Médard

Web3, my friend, needs its TCP/IP moment-a protocol born of the same principles that made the internet unstoppable, yet forged to preserve the soul of blockchain: trustlessness, censorship resistance, and permissionless participation. But this time, it must scale. 🌪️

‘The Force Awakens’ 10 Years Later: ‘Star Wars’ Greatest Success Has Become Its Biggest Failure

The Force Awakens was a massive financial success, earning over $100 million on its opening day and ultimately becoming the highest-grossing film domestically with $936.6 million, and $2.071 billion worldwide. The build-up to the film was almost as remarkable as the movie itself. In many ways, that initial excitement has been difficult for subsequent Star Wars films to recreate, and some fans may feel disappointed by that. While the quality of later films has varied, it’s been impossible to recapture the unique hype and instant impact of The Force Awakens, which effectively relaunched the Star Wars franchise – with both positive and negative consequences.
