New DVD releaseforbidden, horizon, ignores, shortages, system, upgrade

Sony has revealed how Horizon Forbidden West‘s PS4-to-PS5 upgrade system will work, and the details of this disappointing pre-order policy loom large over PlayStation’s upcoming September 9 PS5 showcase event. Horizon Forbidden West will launch on February 18, 2022, for PS4 and PS5. If you buy the Standard or Special Editions of the game for PS4 (which cost $59.99 and $69.99, respectively), you will not receive access to the equivalent PS5 versions of the game. You will still be able to play those PS4 versions of the game on PS5, but they will not benefit from any of the enhancements…

Monster Review: Netflix Film Examines Racism in the Justice System

New DVD releaseexamines, justice, monster, netflix, racism, review, system

Much like its protagonist, Anthony Mandler’s Monster is a film obsessed with aesthetics. Main character Steve Harmon says he makes sense of his humanity through understanding the shapes and textures of the world around him, and with an occasionally heavy hand, director Mandler similarly captures Steve’s world through a stylized lens. It’s there in the postcard perfect sunsets of a youth spent growing up in Harlem, and it’s here again in the film’s unnaturally gray, sterile courtroom scenes. But the hardness of Monster, which speaks to the very dehumanizing nature of its title, comes from where we’re first introduced to…

Hearthstone Battlegrounds New Rating System Explained by Blizzard

New DVD releasebattlegrounds, blizzard, explained, hearthstone, rating, system

Hearthstone‘s Battlegrounds mode will receive a new ratings and rankings system that will be added to the game as part of the upcoming 18.4 patch. The foundation of the new rating system is fairly simple. Basically, everybody’s Battlegrounds rating will be reset to 0 regardless of where they currently are. Following the reset, players will work their way through new progression tiers. However, your progression won’t really kick in until a player has reached over 2000 rating points. Until you’ve crossed 2000 rating points, it’s not possible for a Battlegrounds player to lose rating points. Between 2000 and 6000 points,…

Blizzard has revealed that World of Warcraft: Shadowlands minimum system requirements include an SSD. This information comes from the officially uploaded Shadowlands system requirements, which are fairly standard across the board except for that a “Solid State Drive (SSD)” with “100GB available space” is listed as both the minimum and recommended storage requirement. In case you’re wondering, the previous World of Warcraft expansion (Battle for Azeroth) only required an HDD. There are a couple of other interesting things about this information. The first is that Blizzard notes that the system requirements they outline are subject to change as they complete…

James Mangold Recalls ‘Incestuous’ System Between Harvey Weinstein’s Miramax and Film Critics

New DVD releasebetween, harvey, incestuous, james, mangold, recalls, system

James Mangold’s Cop Land was probably ahead of its time. Released in 1997 to positive if not enthusiastic reviews, and a healthy if not massive box office haul, the movie was criticized by some at the time for its overly cynical depiction of the New York Police Department. For others, there was an ambivalence toward casting action star Sylvester Stallone in a serious role opposite Robert De Niro and Harvey Keitel. More than 20 years later, however, one imagines Cop Land’s use of an action star in a dramatic light might be better received in this day and age—think Stallone’s…

How the System Shock Remake Modernizes a PC Gaming Classic

New DVD releaseclassic, gaming, modernizes, remake, shock, system

When LookingGlass Technologies’ System Shock released in 1994, few people knew what to make of it. It was a first-person game with action and guns, but it most certainly wasn’t a first-person shooter like Doom, which had been released less than a year before System Shock. It featured navigation and level design similar to games like Ultima Underworld, but it wasn’t necessarily an RPG in most respects. While System Shock received quite a bit of praise from critics and players who took a chance on it, but it wasn’t exactly revered as a game-changer or considered a major hit at…
