On March 18, Zack Snyder’s Justice League will finally see the light of day when the director’s previously uncompleted version of the film premieres on HBO Max. As exhaustively reported over the past couple of years, Snyder stepped away from finishing his version of Justice League in early 2017 following the death of his daughter. Joss Whedon was appointed by Warner Bros. Pictures to complete the movie and ended up doing a fair amount of rewriting and some two months of reshoots, resulting in a film that — whatever one thought of it — was reportedly quite different from the…

Despite previous reports to the contrary, Konami has confirmed that you will not be able to play P.T. on the PlayStation 5. In a statement to GamesRadar, Konami stated that P.T. will not be accessible on PS5 as “the content will not be available on the PS Store, so users won’t be able to re-download the content through the backwards compatibility feature to the PS5.” Eurogamer and other outlets previously speculated (we would go so far as to say “rightfully speculated”) that the ability to transfer PS4 game downloads to PS5 via the next-gen console’s backward compatibility program would likely mean…

Ray Fisher’s allegations about abuse of power on the set of Justice League continue to get more serious, and there’s no sign that the young actor, who played Cyborg in the film, is likely to back down any time soon. Fisher alleges that director Joss Whedon and producers Jon Berg and Geoff Johns behaved poorly during the Justice League production, and that attempts were made by studio executives to cover for them. But now he has another powerful ally in the form of his Justice League teammate, Jason Momoa. While Momoa didn’t offer any detailed comment on Fisher’s allegations, he…

A post on the Ubisoft website (as spotted by Twitter user Nibel) suggests that the PS5 will only be directly backward compatible with PlayStation 4 games and won’t natively support games from other PlayStation generations. “As part of their next-gen UPGRADE PROCESS, PlayStation offer a number of features designed to help you move from PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5,” says Ubisoft in response to a question about upgrading games from PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5 “Backwards compatibility will be available for supported PlayStation 4 titles, but will not be possible for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, or PlayStation games.” Ubisoft does…

In a recent blog post, the PlayStation team confirmed that PlayStation 5 games will not support the PlayStation 4’s DualShock 4 controller. “We believe that PS5 games should take advantage of the new capabilities and features we’re bringing to the platform, including the features of DualSense wireless controller,” Sony says regarding their decision to not make the DualShock 4 compatible with PlayStation 5 games. The blog post goes on to clarify that DualShock 4 controllers and officially licensed third-party gamepad controllers will “work with supported PS4 games” on PlayStation 5. They also note that “the PS Move Motion Controllers and…

More than 50 years since black protestors first attempted to walk with protestors across a bridge in Selma—a bridge where they were met with violence and bloodshed at the hands of local authorities—it appears much and little has changed in American life. Millions make that connection each day as we head into the second weekend of protests against police brutality following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Maybe that’s why some are eager to revisit the history of this American experience. Hence Paramount Pictures announced Friday it is making Ava DuVernay’s Selma available for free across all major content…
