Days Gone Director Boldly Blames Cheap Gamers For Canceled Sequel

In an interview posted on David Jaffe’s YouTube channel, Days Gone writer/co-director John Garvin (who has since left developer Bend Studios over what was implied to be personality differences) suggested that part of the reason why the game will reportedly not be getting a sequel is that not enough people bought it at full price. “I do have an opinion on something that your audience may find of interest, and it might piss some of them off,” said Garvin. “If you love a game, buy it at f-cking full price. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen gamers…

Resident Evil DASH: Canceled Sequel or Urban Legend?

As the upcoming Resident Evil Village looks to terrify some with its classic monsters and excite others with its giant vampire ladies, fans everywhere find reasons to reflect on the greatest franchise in horror game history. Yet, I’m willing to bet that even some of the biggest Resident Evil fans haven’t heard about the “missing” game in the franchise: Resident Evil: DASH.

Link Tank: Game of Thrones Spinoff Writer Hopes Canceled Series Will Still Happen

The writer for one cancelled Game of Thrones spinoff is still holding out hope that the series will happen. “In a post-Game of Thrones universe, HBO is still looking for its next huge hit. Is the answer more Game of Thrones? After initially announcing plans for several spinoffs only to cancel all of them except House of the Dragon, HBO signed a new five-year deal with George R.R. Martin in late March of 2021.” Read more at Inverse. The newest Spanish-language crime thriller on Netflix, Sky High, is a lackluster heist movie not worth your time. “As you scroll through…

All American Season 3 Episode 8 Review: Canceled

This All American review contains spoilers. All American Season 3, Episode 8 All American just doesn’t quit when it comes to prioritizing mental health, and we love to see it. We’re reeling from the aftermath of what happened in Vegas, and what this means for Spencer (Daniel Ezra) and Olivia (Samantha Logan) and even Layla (Greta Onieogou). But first, we take a mental health day. I really loved how Laura decided to give the twins a “mental health day” to regroup. They take the day off from school to focus on themselves and their relationship. These types of moments are…

How The Dark Knight’s Canceled Game Accidentally Changed Gaming

The canceled video game adaptation of The Dark Knight is one of the more fascinating and infamous pieces of game industry lore. To some, the title is just a curious footnote in video game history. To others (mostly those who invested in the project or lost their jobs over it), it’s a dark reminder of an idea that is perhaps best left forgotten. I see the game a little differently, though. While it’s easy to look at these kinds of projects that were never released and wonder what could have been, the fascinating thing about the canceled Dark Knight game…

Away Canceled by Netflix, No Season 2 for the Hilary Swank Series

Away has been promptly grounded by Netflix after just one season, coldly cutting short Hilary Swank’s onscreen mission to Mars. Netflix’s cancelation of Away, confirmed by the major trades, arrives less than two months after the 10-episode season hit the platform back on September 4. While the series was purportedly generating high viewership, and spent several weeks on Nielsen’s recently introduced streaming top 10 ranking (on which it peaked at #2), the reason for the cancelation—and its abruptness—has been attributed to being on the wrong side of cost vs. audience analyses. Nevertheless, Away has become the latest high-profile casualty of…

GLOW Canceled at Netflix Despite Earlier Season 4 Renewal

The latter’s cancellation comes after just one season and the former’s cancellation arrives despite the show previously being confirmed for a fourth and final season.  In the case of GLOW, the cancellation comes due…

Altered Carbon Canceled, No Season 3 at Netflix

No resleeves this time – we must bid adieu to Netflix’s Altered Carbon. Actually, it was time to bid adieu to Altered Carbon months ago. According to reports, the streaming service called time on the pricey sci-fi drama series all the way back in April, but news of the show’s cancellation didn’t reach any of us until now, for reasons best known to Netflix. Unlike Netflix’s recent choice to drop sophomore seasons of both The Society and I Am Not OK With This, the decision not to pursue a potential third season of Laeta Kalogridis’ cyberpunk adaptation had nothing to…

Former Ubisoft Executive Canceled King Arthur Game From Dragon Age Director

A report from Bloomberg reveals that former Ubisoft executive Serge Hascoët is responsible for the cancellation of a King Arthur project led by Dragon Age creative director Mike Laidlaw. The report (which is currently behind a paywall) indicates that Laidlaw was hired by Ubisoft sometime around 2018 to work on an RPG project known as Avalon.

The beloved, long-running Nickelodeon show PAW Patrol has not been shut down as part of a wave of recent cancellations of TV series featuring police officers. White House press mouthpiece and professional prevaricator Kayleigh McEnany — who never met a lie she didn’t want to escape her lips — claimed that PAW Patrol was canceled along with shows like Cops and Live PD in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd and the months of protests that followed. During a Friday press briefing, McEnany blurted out that her boss is “appalled by cancel culture, and cancel culture specifically as…

The portfolio has since been taken down, but fans have managed to save and spread the footage via various forums. While most of what we “know” about Prophecy is really just speculation based on analysis of that footage, it should be noted that the footage appears to have been taken from a version of Prophecy…

Showtime had originally built the project in-house with creator Dave Holstein (I’m Dying Up Here) and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind director Michel Gondry, and anticipation was high for the show, which marked Carrey’s first real TV dalliance since appearing on In Living Color many, many years ago. “After two seasons, Kidding has concluded its run on Showtime,” reads a statement on the series’ cancelation.…
