In a chat with game director and Team Ninja head Fumohiko Yasuda, he says he felt the evolution between Nioh 1 and 2 was "lacking", and wanted a third entry to take a bigger leap forward. "When we wanted to do Nioh 3, I think I really wanted to make sure that we had something that had a new kind of gameplay as well as a new kind of gameplay experience, in addition to just evolving the action as well," Yasuda says through a translator.
For the first time since 2016, we've got a new movie from director Gore Verbinski ( Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl) to look forward to - and this one looks like a wild ride. Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die, this first trailer reveals, features Oscar winner Sam Rockwell as a time traveler from an apocalyptic future. His goal: To save the present day... from itself.
There is a literal s**t-ton of movies that carry the name " Frankenstein" in their titles. From the most faithful adaptations of Mary Shelley's original novel to in-name-only, bargain-basement cheapies, there has been no shortage of motion pictures ready to glom onto the property, going back to the earliest days of cinema. But occasionally one emerges that is actually offbeat and decent enough to warrant additional attention.
The second Zelda title released for the Nintendo 64 and the follow-up to the universally acclaimed Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask retained much of its predecessor's mechanics and assets, but it reframed them with a recurring three-day structure that proved to be controversial among fans at the time. But while this unconventional time loop contributed to the game's divisive reputation, it also gives it a unique identity among the series, and is the reason the game remains so moving more than two decades later.
Efficient History Storage with JSON Patches: Instead of storing full state snapshots for each history entry, travels uses JSON Patch (RFC 6902) to store only the differences between states. This dramatically reduces memory usage, especially for large state objects with small changes. For example, changing a single field in a 1MB object only stores a few bytes in history. High-Performance Immutable Updates: Mutative is 10x faster than Immer and provides a mutation-based API for updating immutable data structures.
Gore Verbinski's bombastic return to the big screen starts with a bang - well, more accurately, a trickle. It's not easy to forget that this is the same man who delivered three gonzo Pirates of the Caribbean movies when his mysterious protagonist (Sam Rockwell) storms into a diner in the heart of Los Angeles, swathed in a plastic raincoat and covered in a series of tubes and wires... one of which empties a splash of urine onto the linoleum.
Hollywood's vision of the future has been unmistakably bleak of late. Where franchises like Star Trek are consistent with their ideas of an eventual utopia, it's going to take a lot of work - and time - to get to that point. It's a dismal prophecy to those of us living through the 2020s, an era depicted thoroughly (and not too optimistically) across Star Trek's history. It's hard not to succumb to the feeling of doom as our ecological circumstances get dimmer by the day.
Played on tiny grids with just a handful of units facing off against each other, the sci-fi tactics game pares the genre down to its very essentials. While that might sound like it would limit its strategic depth, it instead makes every decision count even more, turning every short battle into a tense, cerebral clash with next to no room for error.
Destiny 2 often uses expansions to introduce new characters and build out their stories. With The Edge of Fate, the first chapter of the new story arc Bungie calls the Fate Saga, the developer introduced a very new, very different kind of character, named Lodi. Your main point of contact in the expansion's destination, Kepler, Lodi has a deep, strange backstory that introduces a whole lot of new elements to the game's story and lore.
Quantum mechanics is unquestionably a robust and successful theory - so far, all its predictions have held, and scientists can build powerful technologies based on it. Yet, understanding what it tells us about the nature of reality and how we experience it has proven tricky. Physicists and philosophers have been grappling with it for a century, ironing out some of the early ambiguities, but some conceptual problems remain.
Forget all the nonsense you heard about time travel. You can't go back and kill your grandfather. The past has already happened. Everything is linked, each event underpins the next, everything is determined; you can't do anything to break those links. Try, and you enter a forbidden state. Your body won't obey your will. Attempting to hurt locals usually puts you in a forbidden state but not always. I guess some people just have no role in history.
As I began playing this time travel adventure, written and programmed by Dave Gilbert, I was waiting for the twist. It's 2062, and Fia Quinn is a time agent for ChronoZen, a corporation that takes wealthy clients back in time, while maintaining government-mandated control of the timeline.
