Why rumors about vaccines spread and how to rebuild trust

Silent Hill rumors continue to swirl. Following last week's leaked Silent Hill art , journalist Jeff Grub and leaker NateTheHate2 took to Twitter to comment on two pieces of information they've heard from sources. The first is that Konami is likely working on multiple Silent Hill Games--including a mainline title and side "stories." The second allegedly confirms Bloober Team's involvement in a Silent Hill title--Silent Hill 2 Remake. The remake will receive reworked puzzles, new endings, and could possibly be a timed PlayStation exclusive. This is the stuff I've heard, and it comes from multiple different sources. Not all of my sources are primary, but everything is mostly lining up. To me, the biggest indicator is the stuff I've seen lines up with Konami doing a big reveal at E3 last year before it pulled out. https://t.co/GzUb3jzrwX — Jeff Grubb (@JeffGrubb) May 16, 2022 VGC also says that its sources support such claims. Bloober Team has long been rumored to … [Read more...] about Multiple Silent Hill Projects Are Rumored To Be In Development

Lost Ark's Battle For the Throne of Chaos update arrives today, and it's the biggest update to Smilegate RPG and Amazon's free-to-play MMORPG yet, adding a new class, a battle pass, a new continent, numerous quality-of-life updates, and more. As detailed in the official patch notes , the new martial artist advanced class, the Glaivier, is the highlight. It's the first new class added to the Western version of Lost Ark since release. Wielding both a spear and a glaive, the Glaivier can swap between the two weapons with the press of a button, and each weapon has its own unique abilities and strengths. The glaive excels at clearing out huge groups of enemies, while the spear is ideal for poking down bosses. Of course, the Glaivier isn't the only new addition coming to Lost Ark as part of the Battle for the Throne of Chaos update. The new patch will also see the addition of the South Vern continent, where a demon army is amassing at the titular Throne of Chaos, which serves as a … [Read more...] about Lost Ark Battle For The Throne Of Chaos Update Adds Battle Pass, New Class: Full Patch Notes

With the arrival of Lost Ark's major Battle for the Throne of Chaos content update also comes the free-to-play MMORPG's first battle pass, aka the Ark Pass. This new reward track doesn't replace any of the existing ones--there's still the daily log-in bonus rewards--but offers yet another way for dedicated players to earn additional honing materials, currencies, ship materials, cards, and even a mount, for free. Here's everything in the first Ark Pass and how to earn its rewards. How To Progress The Ark Pass To level up the Ark Pass and earn new rewards, you'll need to complete missions that reward Ark Pass XP, which can be found under the Ark Pass screen.

Netflix's Geeked Week virtual event is returning pretty soon, and the streaming company has released a new trailer providing an overview of what new content will be teased and featured. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and The Sandman were among the blink-and-you'll-miss-them announcements, news, and first looks at the platform's biggest franchises. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was first announced way back in 2020 by game developer CD Projekt Red. The anime ties into the company's divisive game, and is produced by Studio Trigger, the animation company known for hits like Kill la Kill, Little Witch Academia, BNA: Brand New Animal, and others. Edgerunners is a standalone, 10-episode story that features original characters disconnected from Cyberpunk 2077.

In the event trailer above, all that's mentioned about The Sandman, the long-awaited Neil Gaiman adaptation is … [Read more...] about Netflix Geeked Week Announced, Cyberpunk Anime To Be Featured

A new Silent Hill game has seen its most credible leak yet after a series of copyright strikes against a source with a credible past history of insider information. AestheticGamer aka Dusk Golem , who previously leaked a lot of Resident Evil Village information later proved right, tweeted a series of images allegedly from a new Silent Hill game in development. These images were later removed by Twitter "in response to a report from the copyright holder". AestheticGamer's account was then also briefly locked for 'infringing copyrighted work', which all suggests the leaked images were real. major_leak_concept_art_from_rumored_silent_hill from r/silenthill The images show some things that feel very Silent Hill, like a filthy, decaying rubbish strewn room with peeling wallpaper and a baby's crib amongst the rubbish. But there are also some less familiar images, one shot that's also backed up by a second piece of concept art posted to Resetera , shows a corridor … [Read more...] about The latest Silent Hill leak seems credible thanks to copyright claims

Everything was Uncharted. You’ll have seen the jokes, no doubt – the ones that pointed out how many games at E3 2012 seemed to be based on an external interpretation of the Naughty Dog design document. That show brought a host of linear games built on tightly scripted spectacle, sacrificing player agency for the whims of a stubborn author. The complaint was aimed at other developers, at an industry in thrall to the cookie cutter, but it stung Naughty Dog by extension as well. Many of those games have since turned out to be nothing like Uncharted. At December’s PlayStation Experience (PSX) event, filmed live in Vegas and streamed around the world, Naughty Dog suggested Uncharted 4 wasn’t, in the E3 2012 pejorative sense of the term, very Uncharted either. Over the course of a day inside the Santa Monica studio, we are shown the proof of it. Within half an hour, game director Bruce Straley has summed it up perfectly. “There’s no one golden path,” he tells us. “It’s not just as simple as … [Read more...] about Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End – the story behind the biggest game of the year
