Sonic The Hedgehog 3 is off to a fast start at the domestic box office, pulling in $62 million during its opening weekend. That’s significantly more than Mufasa: The Lion King managed — Disney’s live action prologue made $35 million during the same time period.It's an early victory for Sonic, then, but there's a slightly different story globally. Mufasa: The Lion King opened to $87.2 million internationally, which, combined with its domestic haul, is enough to make it the number one global release of the weekend with $122.2 million.However, Sonic The Hedgehog 3 is yet to launch in all international markets, so a proper global comparison won’t be possible until next weekend’s numbers are in.Will Paramount be pleased with Sonic 3's performance so far?

Listen closely: do you hear that sound? It's the cry of hundreds of beleaguered Dino Crisis fans, mourning the revival that could've been.Adi Shankar, the creator of Netflix's upcoming Devil May Cry show and a filmmaker with a strong reputation for video game anime adaptations (Castlevania, Captain Laserhawk), revealed some interesting information in a recent X/Twitter post. Specifically, when he first started talking to Capcom years ago, his sights weren't actually set on Devil May Cry.He began by sharing some quick thoughts on each of the three Dino Crisis games, praising the first two while conceding that the third "lost that magic" as it headed off Earth. "Why am I telling you this?" he continued. "Because when I first went to Capcom in 2017…

A fan-made top-down action RPG take on Bloodborne has given fans a clear picture of what a Diablo-style spin-off might look like.Developer Maxime Foulquier, who had ditched plans to remake Bloodborne in Unreal Engine 5 out of fear of a cease and desist from franchise owner Sony, has now started a new project called ‘Bloodborne Top Down Arena,’ and in the tweet below, showed gameplay off.HUNTERS! I haven't touched Bloodborne Remake for a year for 50 reasons (too big, too risky to finally be C&D).

Arcane has been a massive hit for Netflix and Riot Games — an unabashed critical darling that's been embraced by League of Legends fans and otherwise — but it didn't come cheap.Variety revealed some pretty jaw-dropping numbers in a new report on Wednesday, revolving around why Riot's expansion into film and television has been stunted despite Arcane's success. A lot of that has to do with budget; according to Variety's sources, it cost $250 million to make and market Arcane's two seasons. That's a hefty chunk of change for 18 episodes.Riot co-founder and chief product officer Marc Merrill declined to confirm that whopping $250 million number when speaking to Variety, but stood by the results. “We’re more than comfortable with the spend it took to …

It’s been close to three years since the January 2022 reveal of Showa American Story, whose B-movie style trailer depicting 1980s America as a colony of Japan became a viral hit.

The game genre is described as an “end of the century romantic RPG fantasy ensemble period drama”.…

In recent years, we've seen a number of actors express concern about the potential for AI likenesses to be made of them without their consent. Count MCU Iron Man actor Robert Downey Jr. among them, but he's taking it a step further. He says he'll sue any executive who tries to make an AI out of him, even after he's dead.Downey Jr. was recently on the On With Kara Swisher podcast to discuss McNEAL, a new one-act play he is currently starring in on Broadway that deals with the question of AI use in literature. During the discussion, Downey Jr. was confronted about the circulation of "deepfakes" of himself and other actors, and the recent SAG-AFTRA strikes over, among other things, AI protections for actors.…

One forward thinking PlayStation fan has spent upwards of $2,000 on 24 years worth of PS Plus to avoid increasingly common price hikes.Reddit user On_Reddit_In_Class said they "decided to stack PS Plus subscriptions until 2048 because of the absurd price increases the past few years." They plan to be gaming the rest of their lives so decided it would "save a good bit of money."A PS Plus Essential subscription cost $79.99 per year, so 24 years worth costs $1,919.76. Then, Sony was kind enough to offer the player an 89% discount to upgrade to a Premium subscription in a bizarre loophole, charging just $199.99 instead of $1,889.75, meaning it came to $2,119.75 altogether,

Ever since the release of the original Final Fantasy 7, fans have agonized over the game's biggest, best-known tragic moment: Aerith's death. Could she be saved? Was it possible? For years, rumors have abounded about secret ways to save her and keep her in the party. And now, speedrunners have found a path to keeping her around that may also be a massive time-saver.Discovered by speedrunners AceZephyr and Kuma and publicized by Luzbel, a new skip allows players to jump from Midgar all the way to Forgotten Capital with Aerith still in the party. Because it skips the part of the game where Aerith leaves the party, she sticks around, and ultimately witnesses her own death at the hands of Sephiroth only to join the battle against Jenova Life moments later.The biggest skip in FF7 has …
