Mass Effect: Legendary Edition Side-By-Side Shows Visual Enhancements
Mass Effect: Legendary Edition brings the entire Mass Effect trilogy together with tons of DLC and quality-of-life enhancements. The most noticeable new feature for most players will probably be the visual upgrades, and BioWare is showing that feature off in detail.
The Mass Effect Twitter account put out a brief side-by-side video of the jungle world of Virmire from the original Mass Effect. It slowly pans around the environment, letting you see the greater level of detail in the trees and swampland. You’ll also notice the changes to the UI, as BioWare has changed it to be more reflective of later games for consistency.

The CW Renews 12 Series, Including The Flash, Batwoman, And Legacies
For the upcoming 2021-2022 season, The CW has renewed 12 of its series for new seasons and has ordered additional episodes for current seasons of Walker and Superman & Lois.
Many of the renewals are from CW’s Arrowverse–even though Arrow is no longer on the air, and Supergirl and Black Lightning are coming to an end. The DC superhero universe has been a major force in The CW’s television arsenal for years. Batwoman–which recently began its second season with Javicia Leslie playing the new Batwoman, Ryan Wilder–landed a third season. Additionally, The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow were renewed, and the new series Superman & Lois got two additional episodes added to its first season.
Outside of the DC shows, fan favorites like Legacies and Walker also got renewed as well. “Though we’re just a few weeks into the new season, we wanted to get a strategic head start on next season with these early renewals, which allows our production teams to start laying out story arcs and hiring staff, and at the same time, continues to provide us with a strong, stable schedule to build on for next season,” said The CW’s chairman and CEO Mark Pedowitz in a press release. “As The CW’s 2020-2021 season kicks into high gear, we are thrilled creatively with the direction of our first new shows out of the gate, Walker and Superman & Lois, that we wanted to order the additional episodes to complete their first seasons, and we are particularly pleased with the huge success of the launch of Walker, which debuted as our most watched series premiere in 5 years.”
Super Nintendo World Is Now Open, And New Videos Will Let You Experience It Digitally
Universal Japan’s Super Nintendo World has soft-launched in Osaka, and with it has come a pretty extensive playlist from the Universal Parks News Today YouTube channel of videos showing off Super Nintendo World’s rides, restaurants, stores, and other secrets. There’s tons to see, even if you can’t make it to the park in person quite yet.
Through the videos from Universal Parks News Today, anyone can get a glimpse of what Super Nintendo World is like. The park itself has been gamified, with each park-goer receiving a wearable wristband that works in conjunction with a mobile app to take the experience up a notch. Using these bracelets and the app, visitors can explore the park and solve various puzzles to snag digital keys to unlock special attractions and other collectibles like virtual coins and stamps. There’s even a leaderboard for the visitors who earn the most points across the whole day or for specific rides.
With three keys in hand, attendees can take on Bowser Jr. in an AR duel at one of the attractions. To do so, players have to make their way through a recreation of Bowser’s castle, complete with Bowser family photos and various Mushroom Kingdom graffiti on the walls, to a screen where Bowser Jr. and his cronies are ready to do their worst. Players then have to use their bodies to avoid attacks, swinging their arms to bat away Bob-ombs, ducking to dodge incoming Bullet Bills, and jumping to hit Question Blocks for power-ups. Combining all these movements, it’s time to take on Bowser Jr. and his gang to reclaim the Golden Mushroom for the good guys.

All 11 Seasons Of Modern Family Now Streaming On Peacock, Hulu
All 11 seasons of the comedy Modern Family are coming to Disney-owned Hulu and NBC’s Peacock beginning February 3, according to a statement. You can start watching the show about the Pritchett-Dunphy-Tucker clan in Los Angeles immediately.
“Peacock is home to a massive catalog of iconic movies and shows, so a groundbreaking comedy like Modern Family is a perfect addition and representative of the quality entertainment our free and premium customers enjoy on the service,” said Val Boreland, executive vice president of content acquisitions for NBCUniversal Entertainment, Television, and Streaming. “Because viewers of all ages love Modern Family, we are creating a fan experience on Peacock that goes beyond just episodes of the series to include curated collections, bonus content, and more.”
It’s hard to read that and not think immediately of how Peacock has given The Office the royal treatment by offering Superfan Episodes–re-cut and re-edited episodes of the beloved series that add a wealth of bonus materials, deleted scenes, and even completely new plotlines that never made it to air. Boreland recently told Deadline that “the bar has been set by The Office,” in rolling out classic series on these streaming services, but it’s unclear if Modern Family will be supplemented in a similar fashion.
The Medium Spoilercast: A Horror Classic Or Missed Opportunity?
The Medium, the latest horror game from Bloober Team, is heavy on story and has plenty of elements that are open to interpretation. Now that the game has been out for a few days on Xbox Series X|S and PC, we’re diving deep into its plots and gameplay in a Spoilercast edition of GameSpot After Dark.
Video producer Jean-Luc Seipke is joined by associate editor Jordan Ramée, who reviewed The Medium on GameSpot and gave it a glowing 9, and editor Phil Hornshaw (who also played). The three are all pretty big fans of the game and discuss its Silent Hill and Resident Evil influences, its old-school horror gameplay, and its next-generation features–specifically, The Medium’s gameplay sequences that have you navigating the material world and the spirit world at the same time.
The trio also delves into The Medium’s story to discuss aspects that greatly affected them, as well as some parts that didn’t land so well.
Resident Evil’s Lady Dimitrescu Memes Have Taken Over Games Twitter
It’s certainly no secret that many on the internet have fallen head over heels for Resident Evil Village‘s main antagonist Lady Dimitrescu, AKA The Big Lady. Gamers have fully embraced their “horny on main” energy thirsting after this large and in charge vampire. With Capcom releasing the official details on the vampire queen’s height, memes have gone pretty wild.
Xbox leaned into not just the Big Lady hype, but also the joke that the Series X kind of looks like a fridge with its most recent “update” on the next gen console, featuring Lady Dimitrescu for scale. Though they haven’t revealed how many teraflops per inch of big lady the next console/fridge might be packing.
Remedy brought its own spin, creating a size chart comparing the villainous monsters from its own franchises with Lady Dimitrescu. In the Remedy-verse, our girl isn’t quite as imposing, with the Former towering over her at 79.12 meters. The team even added teeth to the Former so it could pose for the meme with a picture ready smile. But Lady Dimitrescu still manages to outclass protagonist Jesse Faden with her imposing height.
