https://www.gamespot.com/articles/game-informer-is-shutting-down-after-33-years/1100-6525508/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
The first issue of Game Informer launched in 1991 during the 16-bit era, and it has been one of the longest-running video game magazines.

The outlet's official account on X quickly shared the news with a farewell message to readers.The Final Level: Farewell from Game Informer 🕹️ pic.twitter.com/tmrEB2TE7U (https://t.co/tmrEB2TE7U) — Game Informer (@gameinformer) August 2, 2024 (https://twitter.com/gameinformer/status/1819399257071214854?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) "After 33 thrilling years of bringing you the latest news, reviews, and insights from the ever-evolving world of gaming, it is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of Game Informer...

The employees were informed that they were being laid off immediately with severance pay. Former Game Informer content director (and former GameSpot editor) Kyle Hilliard also shared the news on X and noted that the final issue was unfinished when the order to stop came down.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/game-informer-is-shutting-down-after-33-years/1100-6525508/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)

Where is Xur? That's the question everyone (used) to ask on a Friday before Destiny 2: The Final Shape (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/destiny-2-the-final-shape-release-date-new-exotics-and-everything-we-know/1100-6517377/) saw the roving arms dealer set up a new shop inside of the Tower's Bazaar area. With a permanent base of operations, players don't need to run around several planets looking for the Exotic weapons and armor salesman, and can instead spend time looking at his expanded selection of gear. Here's where Xur is this week and what he has for sale.This week, Xur is offering the Exotic weapon catalysts for Coldheart and The Colony, and for Exotic armor, Hunters can pick up Orpheus Rig; Titans can grab Heart of Inmost Light; and Warlocks can buy Sunbracers.Xur Location

Market research firm Circana has released its latest monthly report, offering insight into the state of games-based consumerism in the United States. Executive director Mat Piscatella posted the new report on Twitter (https://x.com/MatPiscatella/status/1819366822606786676) and revealed the top 20 best-selling video games in the US between the dates of June 2 and July 5, 2024.Elden Ring took the top spot across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, thanks to the recent Shadow of the Erdtree expansion (https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/elden-ring-shadow-of-the-erdtree-dlc-review-kill-them-with-kindness/1900-6418243/). Kingdom Hearts: Integrum Masterpiece shot up all the way from #399 to #3 due to the release of the Steam port (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/kingdom-hearts-series-will-arrive-on-steam-next-month/1100-6523603/). When it was announced back in 2022, it was previously exclusive to Nintendo Switch.Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance (https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/shin-megami-tensei-v-vengeance-review/1900-6418241/) had strong sales, debuting at #4. The base Shin Megami Tensei V was also previously a Switch exclusive when it first launched in 2021. The updated Vengeance port features extra content and quality-of-life features, and is available on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox now. The other new game to crack the list is Luigi's Mansion 2 HD (https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/luigis-mansion-2-hd-review-weegee-board/1900-6418246/), which landed at #8.Piscatella also added some insight on the video game industry more broadly. June hardware spending fell 37% when compared to a year ago. During the first half of 2024, Switch's hardware spending was hit the hardest, with sales at 48% lower than last year, followed by Xbox Series at 18% and then PS5 at only 5%. Switch's steep decline is likely due to consumers waiting on its successor (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/switch-2-release-date-specs-display-price/1100-6520278/), which is expected to launch sometime within the next year.Keep reading for a look at June's best-selling games.

Microsoft Establishes "AA" Studio Inside Blizzard, Halo Dev Gets A Shakeup - Report
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/microsoft-establishes-aa-studio-inside-blizzard-halo-dev-gets-a-shakeup-report/1100-6525499/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
According to a new report, Microsoft and Activision are creating a new team inside Blizzard that will create "AA" games based on existing Blizzard properties. A report said this new team is staffed primarily with developers from the Candy Crush developer King.The Windows Central report (https://www.windowscentral.com/gaming/xbox/microsoft-and-activision-have-formed-a-new-team-within-blizzard-to-work-on-smaller-aa-games-based-on-existing-ip) said it's possible that some of the titles from the AA studio will be mobile games, which makes sense if it's staffed primarily with King developers. It also tracks in part because Microsoft is reportedly planning to launch its own Xbox mobile store for iOS and Android soon. (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-pushing-ahead-with-plans-for-mobile-game-store-which-isnt-multiple-years-away/1100-6519625/) While some of the games might be made for mobile, it might not be all of them, the report said.Sources told the site that Microsoft is looking to reduce costs and explore making games with smaller teams that exist within a larger organization.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/microsoft-establishes-aa-studio-inside-blizzard-halo-dev-gets-a-shakeup-report/1100-6525499/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)
Nintendo Switch Closing In On PS2's Sales Record
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-switch-closing-in-on-ps2s-sales-record/1100-6525497/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
Nintendo's latest earnings report has arrived, and while Switch sales were down dramatically, the console is now even closer to reaching the PS2's high watermark of an estimated 155 million units sold. Through the quarter that ended on June 30, Switch sales stand at 143.42 million units.Nintendo sold 2.1 million Switch consoles in the past quarter, which was down significantly from the 3.91 million it sold during the same period last year. Nintendo said the downturn can be attributed to a difficult comparison. Indeed, during the same period last year, Switch sales benefitted from the launch of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (https://www.gamespot.com/games/the-legend-of-zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom/) and The Super Mario Bros. Movie.Nintendo said sales during the same quarter last year were "extremely high" due to those factors. For this year, however, "there were no such special factors in the first quarter of this fiscal year, and with Nintendo Switch now in its eighth year since launch, unit sales of both hardware and software decreased significantly year-on-year," Nintendo said.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-switch-closing-in-on-ps2s-sales-record/1100-6525497/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)

Ryan Reynolds Says Fans Hated Deadpool And Wolverine's Original Name
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ryan-reynolds-says-fans-hated-deadpool-and-wolverines-original-name/1100-6525350/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
This weekend, Deadpool and Wolverine (https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/deadpool-and-wolverine-review-status-quo/1900-6418260/) may have the biggest box office opening of the year. But would it have had the same impact if Hugh Jackman's Wolverine had been left out of the title? We'll never know, because Ryan Reynolds changed the name of Deadpool 3 thanks to the immediate backlash against it.Reynolds and Jackman appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live as guest hosts, via Yahoo Movies UK (https://uk.movies.yahoo.com/movies/hated-ryan-reynolds-changed-deadpool-100000039.html). During the interview segment, Reynolds revealed that the original title was Deadpool and Friend, which was a cheeky way to acknowledge Wolverine without saying his name. But once fans got wind of the title, the response was almost universally negative."The title leaked," recalled Reynolds. "We looked at it and listened, and they hated that title. We were not feeling so good about that anymore."Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ryan-reynolds-says-fans-hated-deadpool-and-wolverines-original-name/1100-6525350/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)

Even More Of Junji Ito's Unique Horror Stories Are Getting Film Adaptations
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/even-more-junji-ito-unique-horror-stories-are-getting-film-adaptations/1100-6525503/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
Fangoria Studios has announced that it'll be teaming up with Through the Lens Entertainment to bring three of Junji Ito's manga horror stories to the big screen: Bloodsucking Darkness and The Mystery of the Haunted House Part 1 and Part 2. Fangoria is aiming to "redefine the horror and manga experience" by staying as true to the source material as possible and will work alongside Ito on these new films. It also wants these projects to balance Japanese nuance and the sensibilities of "innovative" horror to create a "new cinematic experience" for fans."It's important to recognize the universal appeal of horror stories," Fangoria Studios SVP Armen Aghaeian said in a press statement (https://www.fangoria.com/junji-ito-adaptations-ttl-fangoria-studios/). "There’s no better way to commence our partnership with Through the Lens Entertainment than with the legendary horror author and artist Junji Ito’s stories. After all, everyone screams in the same language."Several of Ito's manga works have been adapted for the small and big screen over the decades, in both live-action and animation, with the majority of them receiving mixed reviews at best. Ito's work in manga has been hailed for combining creepy stories with incredibly detailed art that works across genres of supernatural and cosmic horror. One of the most ambitious projects in development is an animated adaptation of Uzumaki, one of Ito's most-famous stories that revolves around the citizens of a fictional town who are plagued by a supernatural curse involving spirals.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/even-more-junji-ito-unique-horror-stories-are-getting-film-adaptations/1100-6525503/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)

Kevin Feige Explains How Star Trek: Picard Led To Vision's Series
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/kevin-feige-explains-how-star-trek-picard-led-to-visions-series/1100-6525491/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
Although Kevin Feige didn't talk about Marvel's TV shows at Comic-Con (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/marvel-confirms-avengers-5-and-6-titles-at-comic-con/1100-6525362/), he's a been a little more forthcoming afterwards about upcoming Disney+ series, including Vision (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/another-resurrected-marvel-character-to-star-in-disney-series-as-vision-moves-ahead/1100-6523648/). Spinning off of WandaVision (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/wandavision-white-vision/1100-6488176/), the Vision series has been rumored since late 2022 (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/vision-series-in-the-works-at-disney-report/1100-6508732/), but it apparently took Star Trek: Picard to convince Feige to seek out the man behind that show and put him to work on Vision.While speaking with Inverse (https://www.inverse.com/entertainment/kevin-feige-terry-matalas-star-trek-picard-season-3-vision), Feige shared his admiration for Star Trek: Picard Season 3, which gave Patrick Stewart and the rest of the Star Trek: The Next Generation cast a fitting sendoff. The showrunner for that season was Terry Matalas, who went on to have the same role for Vision. And it was all because Feige loved Matalas' work on Picard."That's how I got to know [Matalas]," said Feige. "It was from his amazing [work on Picard Season 3]. I said, 'This is incredible. I don't know how this exists. Let me find the person who made this.'"Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/kevin-feige-explains-how-star-trek-picard-led-to-visions-series/1100-6525491/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)
Until Dawn's Peter Stormare Will Reprise His Role In The Movie
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/until-dawns-peter-stormare-will-reprise-his-role-in-the-movie/1100-6525489/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
Earlier this year, Sony Pictures announced the upcoming film adaptation (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/until-dawn-movie-in-the-works-from-annabelle-creation-director-and-writer/1100-6520393/) of the Until Dawn (https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/until-dawn-review/1900-6416221/) video game. Now, Peter Stormare, one of the stars of the horror video game, is confirmed to reprise his role in the movie.Via The Hollywood Reporter (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/until-dawn-video-game-adaptation-maia-mitchell-peter-stormare-1235964505/), Stormare will once again play Dr. Hill, a therapist who makes increasingly unsettling appearances in the game. This casting decision suggests that the movie's script will remain close to the source material. For that reason alone, it's too much of a spoiler to say how and why Dr. Hill is a part of the story. But the primary focus is on a group of friends who reunite one year after a tragedy for a vacation in the mountains that soon goes horribly wrong.Maia Mitchell and Belmont Cameli have also joined the cast in currently undisclosed roles. In June, Ella Rubin, Michael Cimino, Ji-young Yoo, and Odessa A’zion were the first performers lined up for the movie (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/sonys-until-dawn-movie-lines-up-its-cast/1100-6524291/). The video game's cast included Oscar-winner Rami Malek, Hayden Panettiere, and Brett Dalton, among others. So far, Stormare is the only actor from the game confirmed for the film.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/until-dawns-peter-stormare-will-reprise-his-role-in-the-movie/1100-6525489/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)

Maligned Epic Account Login Requirement Results In New Steam Game Getting Review Bombed
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/maligned-epic-account-login-requirement-results-in-new-steam-game-getting-review-bombed/1100-6525349/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
Earth Defense Force 6 launched this week for PC, PS4, and PS5, and the Steam version has faced criticism for requiring an Epic Games Store login for online play. But a change to this controversial requirement is already being explored by the game's developer."The announcement seemingly came out of nowhere, as the Epic requirement wasn't communicated to players until launch day when the developers revealed it (https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2291060/view/4361257526914035378) in a Steam post. Of course, players weren't thrilled about this, and the review status of the game was "mostly negative" upon launch, as Gamesradar reports (https://www.gamesradar.com/games/third-person-shooter/cult-classic-shooter-series-returns-to-steam-after-5-years-and-immediately-takes-a-piledriver-into-the-review-dumpster-over-epic-games-account-requirement/).Developer Sandlot responded to the backlash (https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2291060/view/4361257526917398046?l=english) with a new post on Steam, saying, "The EDF 6 development team for Steam is reviewing and planning changes to the specification that requires sign-in to Epic Games account, which has received the most feedback."Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/maligned-epic-account-login-requirement-results-in-new-steam-game-getting-review-bombed/1100-6525349/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)
