Sony's ill-fated multiplayer shooter Concord has been removed from sale and had its servers shut down, while players across PS5 and PC are receiving refunds. Now, Concord content is being removed from consoles that had it installed. Players who bought the digital version of Concord from the PlayStation Store are now being notified that Sony has deleted the game from their console. A message prompt reads, "Thank you for being a valued PlayStation customer. Live services for Concord went offline on [September 9, 2024). The game is no playable and as a result, we have removed this content from your account." TheGamer reports that physical copies of Concord continue to allow players to boot the game to the title screen, but players cannot progress further. For digital copies, though, it seems PlayStation is simply wiping the game entirely.Continue Reading at GameSpot http://dlvr.it/TD4394

One of Activision's newest development teams, Elsewhere Entertainment, is continuing to hire and seems to be expanding to a new region, suggesting the team's mysterious project may be ramping up. Elsewhere is making an "all-new franchise" that is a "narrative-based IP," but there continue to be no other details available as of yet.

If there was ever a video game adaptation that seemed to scream for an animated version, it's Minecraft. The signature squared look of Minecraft's world and its characters is difficult to pull off in live-action, but the upcoming film, A Minecraft Movie, is doing just that. However, a trio of Minecraft fans decided that they could improve upon the recently released trailer by remaking it with animation. what if it was animated https://t.co/ZSCCIRWWx0 pic.twitter.com/5tflziDatS — Alumio (@Alumio_) September 8, 2024 The video above was made by users who go by Alumio, Maraylin, and Comic Cyrus. As Alumio explained on his YouTube page, they didn't like the trailer for the movie and that's why they decided to improve upon it. For the most part, they did a very good job with it, and the trailer looks like it was recorded in Minecraft itself. The one area where the recreation comes up short is conveying the emotions of the human characters. And that is kind of the key to...

Oscar-nominated actor Andrew Garfield has responded to a rumor that he's coming back to play Spider-Man in the next Spider-Man movie from Sony Pictures and Marvel. Speaking to IndieWire, Garfield didn't straight-up say no. Instead, he danced around the subject just as he did years ago when he was asked again and again if he would be in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Of course, Garfield did end up being in No Way Home, alongside Tobey Maguire and Tom Holland. For the next Spider-Man movie, Garfield said people should question what they read on the internet. "I mean, like the internet is a big place," Garfield said. "I think there's a lot of people who will just say anything to get clicks. So you might have been duped, I'm afraid."Continue Reading at GameSpot http://dlvr.it/TD1jTn

In September 2001, the original Silent Hill 2 set a new standard for the survival-horror genre in the PlayStation 2 era. Later this month, Konami's classic game is getting a remake from Bloober Team that is giving Silent Hill 2 a modern flourish. Now, an extended stream from 2BRO has revealed more of the changes in store for players as they explore the town of Silent Hill. The first 13 minutes of the stream serve as a reminder for how far games have come in the last 23 years by playing through the opening parts of the original Silent Hill 2. That game needed a loading screen just to bring its main character, James Sunderland, into a partially fenced-off area. The modern version of Silent Hill 2 appears to be a more seamless experience, and less reliant on fog to cover up its shortcomings. At the beginning of the reboot, the tunnel to Silent Hill has been completely sealed off. That's why it takes James close to 20 minutes of gameplay to find his way to the town by going off...
