This week WarnerMedia, the parent company of Warner Bros. Entertainment, became the the first major company in the entertainment industry to adopt a broad-ranging diversity and inclusion policy. WarnerMedia’s efforts began with negotiating a variation of that inclusion rider into the production of Just Mercy, an upcoming film starring Michael B. Jordan and Brie Larson. That includes projects from HBO and Turner, as well as Warner Bros. itself. And ultimately, it’s just good business.”Polygon rea

Several Nintendo Switch games — including some big names — will not support cloud save backups when the Nintendo Switch Online service launches, the company confirmed to Game Informer yesterday. Notable games that won’t support cloud saves include Splatoon 2 and Pokémon Let’s Go Evee and Pikachu. All of these games support cloud saves on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions. Nintendo Switch Online is expected to launch this month. It’s believed that Nintendo would have announced the final det

Mega Man 11 launches next month, and a demo for the game is available now for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The demo is accompanied by a trailer showcasing new robot master Bounce Man and his stage. plus Impact Man, Torch Man, Block Man and Fuse Man. All of them make their debut in Mega Man 11. Defeating Bounce Man gives the Blue Bomber an attack that fires three bouncy balls that explode for splash damage.

I’m not sure what to do when friends ask for my help to get good at fighting games. A fighting game beginner needs to get acquainted with the essential skills they can take to any other game they decide to play. The cool characters and beautiful animations of fighting games dress up, but also hide, the battling geometry at the core. My Koihime students don’t just learn to play a fighting game; they learn to play it smart. From Nidhogg to Lethal League, the “simple fighting game” may well be the

For example, at power 521, Xur offers power 503 exotics — two power under the Collections. This week’s roll: Slot one offers fusion rifle loader, hand cannon loader, and impact induction — melee damage reduces grenade cooldown. Its main exotic perk is Bring the Heat, which causes the Fusion Grenades used by solar Titans to explode immediately on impact and travel faster in mid-air. This week’s roll: Slot one offers fusion rifle loader, hand cannon loader, and impact induction — melee damage redu

Border Town is a new series from DC Comics’ recently rebranded DC Vertigo imprint, the first in a new lineup of envelope-pushing stories. That all sounds very serious, and Border Town #1 certainly has serious stuff in it: vigilante white supremacists patrolling the Mexico-Arizona border with guns; refugee corpses devoured by javelinas; high school age neo-Nazis. It’s the story of Francisco (he goes by Frank) the new kid in Devil’s Fork, Arizona, a town on the border of Mexico and the United Stat

There’s no excitement if you don’t feel as though there’s a chance of failure, and Spider-Man’s health system deals with all of these demands in an elegant way. Here’s how it works: Getting hit by enemies decreases your health, and that health won’t return on its own during the battle. You build up your Focus meter by landing combos during combat, and you can convert the balance of that meter to health at any point by tapping down on the D-pad. You can read about the system in more detail in the

Riot Games, the creator of League of Legends, currently runs one of the biggest online games and esports scenes in the world. Now, two outspoken Riot employees are unemployed, at least one of them fired, in the wake of their interactions with the community. In the wake of the PAX West panel and the following controversy, he wrote a detailed thread with his thoughts. Sources within Riot Games told Polygon that after the PAX West controversy went viral, employees were instructed not to engage with

This week on Polygon’s Quality Control podcast, Ryan Gilliam, second-time guest and Polygon’s resident Destiny 2 expert, joins Dave Tach to discuss Destiny 2: Forsaken. A lot of the discussion centers around what Ryan wrote recently in his Destiny 2: Forsaken review. There is so much left to discover in Destiny 2: Forsaken, but the sections I’ve seen and played are the best that Bungie has offered us yet in Destiny 2. Forsaken feels like the transformative expansion for Destiny 2 that The Taken

Marvel’s Spider-Man is a big open world full of larger-than-life characters, but it’s the little details that really make that world feel special, like the way Spider-Man talks on his phone. As Spider-Man swings around New York, he’ll get phone calls from his friends, family and colleagues. It looks like Insomniac Games has recorded multiple versions of Spider-Man’s phone calls with voice actor Yuri Lowenthal. Which version you hear is determined by what you’re doing: If you’re swinging, you hea

After all, surely Cayde-6 would rather you retrieve his precious hand cannon than morn his passing. Step 2: Invader killsBanshee-44 will inform you that Cayde’s beloved hand cannon is in bad shape, but he can fix it. Note that doing the Invading and killing enemy players with a hand cannon does not count. Take the same hand cannon that you used in Gambit and jump into the quickplay playlist. Just focus on getting your hand cannon kills.

Like his father, Michael finished the first Psychonauts with 100-percent completion; he’s a big Double Fine fan. Brad’s younger son, Peter, isn’t really into Double Fine games but he’s still looking forward to it. One thing he wonders, though, is the level of interaction Double Fine plans to give to the backers coming along. For Bridges, he sees Double Fine as a company that’s accepting of all different walks of life when hiring new employees. “This has been amazing.”Speaking to the backers, it’

Buying brand-new titles is always something of a waiting game. Unless of course it’s a Nintendo game. When it comes to Nintendo’s first-party titles on the Switch and 3DS, waiting for a price drop seems pointless. There’s obviously a lot more to it than that, which you can learn all about in our video. You can also learn about the so-called “Switch Tax,” why Disney and Nintendo have so much in common, and even a few tips for saving money on Nintendo games.

Post-credit scenes aren’t just for superhero movies anymore, as Spider-Man for PlayStation 4 includes two short scenes that strongly hint at the plot of the next game. note: This post contains spoilers for those scenes and the rest of Spider-Man’s conclusion, as well as speculation on what they could lead to. We see Peter Parker and MJ in a diner, patching up their relationship after the plot has brought them closer together. In the scene, Norman Osborn visits the secret room in his penthouse ap

After more than 20 years, Nightdive Studios found the source code for the original System Shock and has used it rebuild it for modern PC hardware. System Shock: Enhanced Edition will be released free as an update to those who already own the original game on Steam. For those who don’t own System Shock on Steam, the game is on sale for half off ($19.99) until Monday, Sept. 10. Nightdive recently launched a remastered Forsaken on Windows PC and Xbox One. The studio is still working on a full remas

Marvel’s Spider-Man, the long-awaited PlayStation 4 exclusive from Insomniac Games, is finally available. Alongside it, Sony has released a limited-edition PS4 Pro bundle that doesn’t just include a (physical) copy of the game — it features a console and controller bathed in red and white, to celebrate the famed wall-crawler. To be specific, the color is officially known as “Amazing Red,” although it isn’t uniform across the entire console. And the top of the console is adorned with both a large

There are Predator dogs and new, 11-foot Predator hybrids. Suffice it to say that Predator fans — to the extent that there are Predator fans in 2018 — will adore it. Depending on where you measure from, this is the third, the fourth, or the sixth film in the Predator franchise, though in spirit, The Predator is something of a meta-sequel, commenting on previous films and riffing on franchise conventions. The existence of a bigger, badder Predator feels willfully, delightfully stupid. Even the ch

Sure, there’s demons and plagues and all sorts of unfortunate things in the world … but it’s a fun world, despite the grimness. With all of that in mind, the Nintendo Switch is the perfect platform for Diablo 3. Blizzard hasn’t reinvented the wheel, but the portable nature of the Switch and Diablo 3’s surface-level simplicity are a fantastic match. Four players can join in on one Switch, and I’m genuinely looking forward to playing Diablo with my husband side-by-side on the same Switch or bust

The newest movie in the Conjuring franchise, this week’s The Nun, transports us to 1950s Romania to learn the origin of the creepy nun (Bonnie Aarons) from The Conjuring 2. Investigating the suicide of a sister, Father Burke (Demián Bichir) and prospective nun Irene (Taissa Farmiga) arrive at the deserted convent to judge if the land is still holy. The movie doesn’t manage to add much to the Conjuring mythos other than the sadly under-explored psychic abilities of Sister Irene. In one scene, Sis
