A new Leisure Suit Larry game is once again in development, although this time Larry Laffer is looking to settle down with his one true love Faith after getting a crash course in modern dating in 2018’s Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don’t Dry.
Developed by Crazybunch again and published by Assemble Entertainment, Larry will have to use his limited intelligence to avoid succumbing to his base desires as he embarks on a new point ‘n click adventure.
Last year’s big-screen adaptation of Cats will never cease to be a wonder, whether you’re counting how universally disliked it is, how much money it supposedly lost (around $113 million, but who’s counting?), or how it became the first movie that needed a post-release visual patch while still in cinemas.
The movie was the subject of ridicule at February’s Academy Awards, which resulted in the industry’s Visual Effects Society officially disowning it–and now even the show’s original creator Andrew Lloyd Webber has spoken out against the Cats movie. In an interview with The Sunday Times, as picked up by Deadline, Webber knows exactly where he wants to put the blame for Cats’ failings.
“The problem with the film was that Tom Hooper decided that he didn’t want anybody involved in it who was involved in the original show,” Webber said in the interview. “The whole thing was ridiculous.”
Halo: The Master Chief Collection players have been complaining for some time about hit-detection in Halo 3. In short, it doesn’t feel right. Developer 343 Industries has now provided a new update on the matter, but unfortunately, a fix isn’t coming soon.
In a blog post, the developer said it’s aware of some viral videos that have gone around, in which fans suggest that dropping the engine to “30 ticks” would fix the hit-detection issue.
“Upon investigation, this is only half true, and it doesn’t solve the actual issue that is causing shot registration to encounter problems when being played at MCC’s higher tick rate,” 343 said.
No More Heroes III is in the works for Switch, but it looks like it might not be the only game in the series coming to Nintendo’s console. The original No More Heroes, which launched on the Wii in 2008, might be receiving a port too, according to a new rating.
As noted by Gematsu, the game has been rated for sale in Taiwan for Switch, and appears to be coming from publisher Marvelous Inc. A rating in Taiwan does not absolutely confirm that the game is coming to Switch worldwide, but it certainly suggests that it’s a strong possibility.
Back in 2018, director Goichi Suda expressed a desire to bring both the original No More Heroes and its sequel to Switch, but nothing concrete has ever been announced. Another game starring series protagonist Travis Touchdown, Travis Strikes Again, released for Switch in 2019.
No More Heroes received a PS3 release, subtitles Heroes Paradise. A sequel, No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle. released for the Wii in 2010, and unlike the original game, it was never ported anywhere else.
We caught a tiny glimpse of No More Heroes III gameplay back in June, but there’s still a lot we don’t know about the game–including whether it will make its projected 2020 release window.
The 2008 stoner action movie Pineapple Express made more than $100 million at the global box office against a budget of around $25 million, but Sony never decided to make a sequel. Seth Rogen, who starred in the film and also co-wrote the script, has now explained why.
He said on The Howard Stern Show that he has tried over the years to make a sequel, but Sony never agreed to finance it due to the producers asking for more money.
“We tried to make one. Thanks to the Sony hack, you could actually find the email when Sony decided to kill the movie and not make it. It was something we were very open to several years ago, but Sony was not that interested in it,” Rogen said.
In The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, it takes apple, spicy pepper, Hylian shroom, sunshroom, ruby, fire keese wing, and a red lizalfos tail to make a red dye for clothes–and according to novelist John Boyne’s latest book A Traveller At The Gates Of Wisdom, the exact same ingredients were used for dyeing in the fifth century court of Atilla the Hun.
Reddit user u/NoNoNo_OhHoHo spotted this curiously familiar list of ingredients in The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas author’s latest epic, where the dressmaker protagonist plots a poisoning using a red dye. Amidst an otherwise straightforward historical setting, the mention of Octorok and Lizalfos seems a little out of place.
This novel I’m reading straight up lifted Breath of the Wild ingredients for a chapter about dressmaking lol from r/Breath_of_the_Wild
In a Twitter thread, writer Dana Schwartz pointed out that Googling “ingredients red dye clothes” automatically brings up a list from Polygon‘s Breath of the Wild dyeing guide, which appears in the novel almost verbatim.
