Filmmaking was changing, Soderbergh lamented a few years afterward, and the biggest change was just how little directors seemed to matter. High Flying Bird has a lot on its mind, and the way a cameo by sociologist, civil rights activist, and author of The Revolt of the Black Athlete Harry Edwards is treated as a hero moment is proof enough of that. The racial politics at play in High Flying Bird obviously don’t apply to Soderbergh, but the story is still one about taking a DIY approach to disrup

In-game currenciesApex Legends has three in-game currencies: Crafting Metals, Legend Tokens, and Apex Coins. Each tier of skin costs the same amount of Crafting Metals: Legendary skins cost 1,200; Epic skins cost 400; Rare skins cost 60; and Common skins cost 30. But you can also purchase Apex Packs with real money, netting you more Crafting Metals more quickly. You can use Apex Coins to purchase Apex Packs (which cost 100 AC per pack and are effectively cosmetic loot boxes). Everything you can

A slew of classic computer role-playing games — including Planescape: Torment, Neverwinter Nights, and multiple entries in the Baldur’s Gate series — will be playable on consoles for the first time later this year. Beamdog, the developer behind the existing PC editions of these titles, announced the news Thursday in conjunction with Skybound Games. The ports will be the enhanced versions of Baldur’s Gate (originally launched in 1998), Baldur’s Gate 2: Shadows of Amn (2000), Baldur’s Gate: Siege

Crimson Days, Destiny’s bloody Valentines Day celebration, returns next week to Destiny 2. The main mode for Crimson Days is Crimson Doubles. These bounties and completed Crimson Doubles matches will reward players with the Crimson Days currency: Confectionery Hearts. All of these offerings are the same, so players will be able to complete their collection if they missed Crimson Days last year. Crimson Days will start on Feb. 12 and conclude the following week on Feb. 19.

Publisher Accolade is launching a Kickstarter campaign to support yet another current-generation Bubsy game, Bubsy: Paws on Fire!, which is due out in April. Should the team make its $25,000 funding goal, Bubsy: Paws on Fire! Backers will also receive the game, its soundtrack, more Bubsy games, and several of Choice Provisions’ Bit.Trip Runner games. The Bubsy: Paws on Fire! Kickstarter campaign begins today, Feb. 5, at 1 p.m.

Apex Legends was born out of a previous plan to make Titanfall 3, a game that is (for now) not in development. Respawn’s new battle royale game is set in the Titanfall universe, but does not include Titans, which are giant combat mechs — and a major part of the franchise. We spoke to Respawn execs about the decisions that led to Apex Legends, which was released today. According to executive producer Drew McCoy, Respawn had been playing with various player-versus-player modes using assets from Ti

A session description from the 2019 Game Developers Conference seems to have blown a big upcoming Microsoft reveal: Xbox Live is heading to mobile devices and the Nintendo Switch. Windows Central called attention to the Microsoft-presented panel, “Xbox Live: Growing & Engaging Your Gaming Community Across iOS, Android, Switch, Xbox, and PC,” which will cover the forthcoming expansion of Microsoft’s online platform. “Xbox Live is expanding from 400M gaming devices and a reach to over 68M active p

But while Vicarious Visions was hard at work with remastering the PlayStation trilogy, developer Beenox was eyeing Crash Team Racing. Impressively, there’s an attention to detail in Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled that reflects a longtime love. “We used to play Crash Team Racing during our lunch breaks,” a representative from Beenox told us. As someone who poured hours into Crash Team Racing, picking up Nitro-Fueled was natural, even easy. A few seconds later: “Oh god, no, I remember this.”Crash

In a Reddit post on Friday, lead producer Ben Irving revealed the game’s Alliance system, as well as future plans for in-game guilds. Players who engaged with the demo will likely have seen the Alliance XP being added up in the end-match screen. This system allows players to form long-term alliances — like a reward system for Freelancers. At the end of each week, Coin (the game’s cosmetic currency) will be given out to all Alliance players based on how much experience their Alliance earned that

2K Games is expanding with a new studio to be headed by Michael Condrey, the former director at Visceral Games and co-founder of Sledgehammer Games. Condrey will serve as president of the the new Silicon Valley-based development team, which is making an unannounced, new game for 2K. At Visceral, Condrey was credited as senior development director on the original Dead Space. Condrey left Sledgehammer Games in February 2018 alongside the studio’s co-founder, Glen Schofield. 2K’s announcement offer

Several months ago, I installed Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp and haven’t missed a single day since. It’s unusual because I’ve never played any Animal Crossing games before, and didn’t care for Pocket Camp when it first came out. But in the last month, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp rolled out new features that seem strangely counterintuitive to its friendly core, the very thing that attracted me to it in the first place. I want to hear the bad puns and the food-obsessed commentary from my animal f

Yesterday Polygon published our list of the best games of 2019 so far and of course Capcom’s fantastic remake of the survival horror classic, Resident Evil 2, made the list. If you haven’t yet played the game that “is everything a video game remake should be”, now’s a great time to pick it up. If you’re in the market for a new console, all Xbox One bundles are $50 off right now. That includes pre-orders for the upcoming Metro Saga bundle, which will come with all three Metro games when Metro Exo

A Fake Artist Goes To New York is a mouthful of a title for a pretty simple board game about drawing, lying, and making wild accusations. We also played it on the latest episode of Overboard, and had a surprisingly difficult time figuring out who among us was actually the fake artist. Each round, one player assumes the role of game master and selects a secret drawing prompt. This gives the fake artist cover, because why would they draw something specific. This means that as much as drawing takes

Beholder is an acclaimed indie game for PC whose dystopian themes and conflicted choices are similar in tone to Papers, Please. That makes the filmmakers behind the short adaptation of Papers, Please the perfect pair to take on Beholder. The “Beholder,” in both film and game, is Carl, the building supervisor of an apartment in some totalitarian state, somewhat like the Inspector of Papers, Please. Beholder, published by Alawar Premium, launched in late 2016 and won Best in Play at GDC Play 2017,

Corporate Animals, a scathing satire from Creep director Patrick Brice and Peep Show writer Sam Bain, rips the farce apart. Speaking at a Q&A following the film’s Sundance Film Festival world premiere, Bain confessed that a desire to make the survival story funny prompted him to write Corporate Animals. Corporate Animals skips the agony of debate. The dry and deadpan humor of Corporate Animals drills down from there, confronting the taboo subjects of cannibalism, murder and sexual harassment wit

That will show them how The Division 2’s three specializations — survivalist (all-rounder), sharpshooter (sniper) and demolitionist (blow stuff up) — work. The “invaded” mission sounds like what was explained to us as an “occupied” Dark Zone, during a media event back in December. Massive Entertainment and Red Storm Entertainment envision one of the three Dark Zones will get overrun in the endgame. Otherwise, player progression in the rest of the beta will be capped at level 7 and will be limite

Throughout the ’90s, Gilroy was the guy Hollywood called upon to make what wasn’t working work — a job that eventually landed him scripting duties on Tim Burton’s proposed epic, Superman Lives. Polygon: Your wife and Velvet Buzzsaw star Rene Russo said at Sundance that a trip to Dia:Beacon art museum in upstate New York inspired this movie. Speaking of movie studio hoopla, you’ve said Velvet Buzzsaw was also inspired by your work on Superman Lives, the Tim Burton superhero movie that never happe
