A recent Game Informer article reveals that Cyberpunk 2077 features several notable sequences that may cause epileptic seizures and other health risks. The report comes from Game Informer editor Liana Ruppert who describes herself in the article as “someone that does have seizures myself due to an injury from my time when I was active duty.” She goes on to explain that her condition prohibits her from being able to play certain games and that she “suffered one major seizure” while playing Cyberpunk 2077.

Today, Nintendo surprised fans everywhere by announcing that they’re releasing Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light for the Nintendo Switch on December 4. Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light isn’t just the first game in the Fire Emblem series but a long-standing historical curiosity among many Nintendo fans. While it was released in Japan in 1990 (despite being developed as more of an internal passion project), Nintendo never officially ported the game to the West despite the growth of the Fire Emblem series over the years. Now, though, fans across the world will have the chance…

The first round of Xbox Series X gameplay previews left many convinced that the next-gen console may have a heating problem. However, a new round of tests suggests that may not actually be the case. For instance, VentureBeat ran a fairly simple Xbox Series X heat test in which they ran Hitman 2 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One X, PS4 Pro, and a PC with an RTX 3080 GPU and Ryzen 9 3900XT CPU. For this test, each platform was allowed to cool down for about 30 minutes before the tester played Hitman 2‘s Mumbai level for about…

Halloween Kills Moves to 2021 Due to Coronavirus Concerns

New DVD releaseconcerns, coronavirus, halloween, kills, moves

Halloween Kills will have to wait a full year to fulfill its titular declaration. That’s because the film, a direct sequel to 2018’s Halloween revival movie, is quickly approaching an October 2020-scheduled release date that’s looking increasingly unfeasible in the face of a possible second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Universal Pictures, who’s handling distribution for the Blumhouse co-production, has moved Halloween Kills to October 15 2021—exactly one full year from its previous October 15, 2020 date. Consequently, the shift will directly affect the film’s would-be successor, trilogy-completing offering Halloween Ends, which will similarly shift back from its October 15,…

It appears that the fall release date of The Many Saints of Newark, HBO’s long-anticipated prequel TV movie to its transformative peak television smash, The Sopranos, was born under a bad sign, taking shape during an era in which the film and television industry—and everything else in the civilized world—has been derailed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Consequently, the movie has just met the nowadays-inevitable fate of having its release date shifted back. The Many Saints of Newark is now scheduled to premiere on HBO on Friday, March 12, 2021. The move represents a nearly six-month shift from its previously scheduled…

The Matrix 4 has temporarily shut down production due to the coronavirus pandemic that’s put much of the movie industry on hold in the past few weeks. The movie, a surprise sequel to the trilogy of cyberpunk action movies starring Keanu Reeves, was shooting in Berlin when Warner Bros. decided to postpone production. According to Deadline, no one in the cast or crew has tested positive for the infection, so this is just a precautionary measure by the studio, which has also closed down production for The Batman, Fantastic Beasts 3, King Richard, and Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis Presley movie.
