Ubisoft has been working on the Division movie with Jake Gyllenhaal for awhile now. Netflix is just the studio that picked it up. They also announced a Splinter Cell movie staring Tom Hardy and a Ghost Recon movie directed by Michael Bay forever ago. Who knows if they ever get made.

Another big article from Jason Schreier, this time on Black Ops IIII. This one is focused more on the poor treatment of the QA staff than extreme detail on the game's progress, though we do learn that not only was 2v2 multiplayer campaign cancelled, but they shifted to a more traditional campaign after, which was finally canceled to make room for Blackout, which in turn used some of the campaign assets. It also sounds like the three branches of these games don't get a lot of development overlap as far as actual design decisions go, which doesn't surprise me.

I really don't know what it will take to get these shitshows to stop happening. It seems like it's most of the AAA publishers. In this case we don't hear a ton of unrest from Treyarch themselves, it's more the extremely replaceable QA company that is contracted. It seems like a Union might have some holes in that situation.

I found a copy of Infinite Undiscovery at a local shop for about $6.50, the case has some wear but the discs are in good shape and so is the manual. Would definitely welcome a free digital copy but S-E has only used their western IPs for GWG and GP so far.
Given the current track record I'd guess this would get a (PS4/Switch) remaster instead, like The Last Remnant, though it wasn't as well regarded.

Been several years since I played COD. Was Blackout well received? Is it a popular mode? On another board I am on people thought it was great that they too got a battle royal mode. Haven't really heard any body talk about it there since.

I don't really know where it stands now. At launch it seemed like most people thought it was solid if a bit basic. The only thing I've really heard in a while are complaints about microtransaction weapons being added in a pay to win way. Personally I played it for a few days and went back to Fortnite and Apex.

 
Bloodstained's supposed "localization fixes only" patch is out on Xbox. It sounds like it might actually be the borked patch because it added some UI updates, added Boss Rush and Speedrun mode, and some bug fixes. The version number is 1.0.0.4 as it's supposed to be, but those features were supposed to come with the 1.0.2 patch that was delayed on Xbox.

I'm seeing mixed reports about the chest bug still being in place on both r/bloodstained and the boards page on GameFAQs, but it sounds like the people being negatively effected may have already started New Game+ before the update as was suggested they NOT do. Specifically, I've only seen two people make this claim.

I'd recommend not updating yet if you turned off auto-updates like I suggested, and waiting for official word from 505 or the devs. You can still play if you switch your console into offline mode. Even if you're finished already and waiting for New Game+, it's hard to say if the chest but won't present itself if this is not 1.0.2.

Interesting read, I remember one time of my life when I was like 10 and I thought being a game tester would be cool. Then my older brother was a manager of game testers as a job for a while and I learned more about it in the 90’s and it was kind of a crappy job back then. I’m not surprised it’s still a crappy job today but it seems like they have some culture things they could work on that wouldn’t even cost them much money. That’s not a unique problem though, I’m sure some of you work for or have worked for companies with culture problems.
 
So I've been really in the mood to pick up world war z. None of my friends are planning on getting it though. Does it have a community here or on xbl for solo players? At $22 or whatever it's a pretty good price
 
Reposting this from Reddit so we can all appreciate this masterpiece of game box art.

Ha said screw it and through the 7 gig Bloodstained Patch on the game. I honestly don't know what's up with it, I went to one area and there was new green chest that gave me a "Skull Necklace" there was no way I missed that chest before, wasn't hidden or anything so maybe they added some?

The posts I'm seeing are staying that chests are switching from open to closed and vice-versa for some people, which was a known issue for the messed up patch. The real issue is if the chest you get when beating the boss on the tower is already open, it has an item you need to progress. I don't think anything else is mandatory but the swapped chests being opened means you miss out on a lot of items later in the game.

 
Yeah I only tried on the file I had that had already cleared the game with the "good" ending, I was at 99.20% map and went to two new screens that were hidden that both had Green Chests I've never been to and they were closed. Got the "Gamber's Ring" out of one of them that you need that would let one of the bosses drop another item. They also added some monsters that weren't there before and even other monsters must of been "fixed" to do attacks they weren't doing before. Kind of watching True Achievements to see if anyone pops the last few ones that haven't been obtainable. 

 
I feel vindicated for not playing it so far, but I feel for those who have messed up saves. Still apprehensive to start since this patch was clearly all kinds of wrong and they said multiple times they would not be releasing the chest bug on Xbox if possible.

Ha I made my peace with it when I saw on TA it was listed as getting a Windows 10 version with a non shared achievement list. So I'm going to being playing the game again a few times anyway. Despite all this patch nonsense, I think there are still a few flaws with the game but it has by far surpassed my expectations overall. I was worried after some of the info coming out from the backer demos but it's not a Mighty No 9 situation at all. The crafting system is so deep it might be longer than the actual game.

 
Curious if redeeming codes goes to Xbox “top sellers” list. Noticed that Rainbow Six Siege is like the sixth best seller. Think I’d only believe that if it included all those cheap Walmart codes. :)

Ha it hangs out in the top ten like all the time, I like to go through it now and again to see what's "going on" I was tracking how well Caslevania Collection might of did just to see the likely hood we now get the other games, dang thing never even broke into the top 25.

That’s pretty amazing that R6 is still in there after all this time. And sad things like Castlevania is not.

I only played a few rounds, so maybe I just got lucky but I had no problem finding other players. Bots fill in the empty slots if the squad isn't full. There were frequently players leaving the game but they were replaced almost immediately.
 
Can confirm this is the busted patch for Bloodstained, needed a Fish Dish recipe out of a Green Chest in the Underground Waterway and never would of grabbed it before without the guide to find it and it was opened already. Guess I sit on the game for a bit and wait for whatever. 

late edit, ha whatever community guy they have is in this reddit thread claiming it's just the localization patch, but people are pointing out that it's not, should be good times

Yikes, glad I didn't start yet. I assume any game started after this patch is in place are fine, it's only save files from the pre-patch version?

 
Correct, supposedly.
I'm still waiting on official word about the patch before properly starting, but if you've already waited until now, you're probably good.

Then again, considering the last week, maybe not. The next patch to fix the last patch will probably unintentionally break something else.
 
Ordered WWZ on Tuesday and still haven’t gotten that Black Fat Chobobo DLC code. Anyone else who ordered get theirs?
 
Under tale and Hotline Miami? Wow. Also the messenger saved me a good$15 so I dont buy it on switch.

Gamepass is the reason I wont get a PS5 unless Sony jumps on the service train. I'm using my money i save to buy switch games lol
 
Well my mistake looks like the messenger hotline Miami and undertale are pc only. Lol

I could have sworn the messenger was coming to Xbox at least.

Same here! I got a switch over the weekend and man are the games expensive for it. But I wont have to buy gears 5 so that will go to buying Links Awakening.

Guess more reasons to fire up the PC! At least these are not graphically intensive games that my PC should be able to handle. Know it’s not the same as more Xbox games but still sweet that PC GamePass is included.
