James Gunn has confirmed that the script for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 has now been “written,” as the project continues to make steady progress in the wake of his rehiring last year.

The filmmaker, who guided the first two installments in the Guardians franchise to box office success, shared a fresh update about the third movie on Twitter, assuring fans that steady progress was being made on the project. Speaking about the sequel, Gunn confirmed that the script for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 had been completed and that the production heads had also been chosen.

In a follow-up tweet, Gunn revealed that “very little” had changed with the script from the original version that he penned before being fired and later rehired by Disney to write and direct the franchise’s third installment. Before being reinstated, MCU architect Kevin Feige confirmed that Gunn’s draft script would be used for the movie, regardless of the director’s involvement.

Although Gunn is back on board for the third volume, he has previously indicated that this next movie will “probably” be the final one with him sitting in the director’s chair and “probably be the last with the current team” of Peter Quill (aka Star-Lord), Rocket, Groot, Drax, Gamora, Nebula and Mantis, though he cautiously added that “you never know.”

At one point, Guardians Vol. 3 was meant to be the first, if not one of the first, titles in Marvel’s Phase 4 line-up. However, with the deck being reshuffled, and Gunn directing The Suicide Squad for DC before Vol 3., the next Guardians flick didn’t end up in the final slate. Fortunately, it sounds like it’ll be worth the wait, as Karen Gillan said the third movie has the best script of the trilogy.

For most of my life, every time I’ve started a new game, the first thing I’ve had to do is make sure the Y-axis is inverted. I don’t know why my brain likes to push down to look up, it just does, and it causes a consistent burst of faff before I can get to any shiny new game I’ve bought. PS5 may, finally, have gone some way towards fixing that issue.

The solution comes in the form of PlayStation 5’s Game Presets menu, a settings option that allows you to choose your preferred experience in PS5 games from a number of categories, which is then applied as best as possible to every game you play. That menu includes game difficulties, subtitles, performance vs. resolution modes, and preferred audio languages – all options regularly fiddled with before play can really begin.

But the option I truly love is being able to choose to invert the Y-axis in both first person and third person viewpoints automatically. So far I’ve used it to fix Astro’s Playroom, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and Demon’s Souls, and I’ve been delighted every time I confirm it’s worked again.

To be fair, I actually only discovered the menu when I realised Astro’s Playroom doesn’t actually include a Y-axis preference option, which briefly made me absolutely furious until I was told about the beautiful Elysian Fields of Game Presets. In hindsight, it feels like another one of Astro’s attempts to teach me a little something about my new console (although I’m not convinced it’s an intentional one in this case).

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/11/06/playstation-5-review”]

As covered in our PS5 guide, the menu is found in Settings > Saved Data and Game/App Settings > Game Presets, and will attempt to apply all of your choices as accurately as possible, depending on the game in question. If you find your choices aren’t working out for you, Game Presets will only attempt to change the settings when you first start the game, so you can tinker with them and not have them switch back by accident.

It may sound like a small thing – mainly because it is a small thing – but after years of low-level annoyance at starting every game with a boring trudge to the options menu, it’s genuinely refreshing to see a little bit of thinking applied to how to stop that. I’m sure the same will go for many fellow inverters, not to mention subtitlers, language changers, hard moders, and other similarly inconvenienced players. Forget haptic feedback, this is my next-gen.

This week continues to get better and better for American Horror Story fans–Season 9 will be coming to Netflix this Friday (the 13th, scary!), and series co-creator Ryan Murphy (Glee, Ratched) has finally unveiled the first poster and a tiny bit more information on the long-discussed American Horror Story spin-off. Check out the tweeted image below, which helps set the tone for what to expect.

In a tweet immediately following the above image, Murphy says the spin-off will comprise “16 one-hour standalone episodes delving into horror myths, legends, and lore.” He also teased that “many” of these episodes will feature familiar faces from the AHS series, and that more information is coming soon. Earlier this week, Season 10 of the main series stepped into the spotlight in a similar fashion, also releasing a new poster, but was likewise light on any expected release date.

According to The Wrap back in May, Season 10 is expected sometime in 2021. That month, there was an American Horror Story cast Zoom call where Murphy said in an Instagram post documenting it that cast members reminisced with one another–though he also mentioned the spin-off, which will consist of “one-hour contained episodes” and “other stuff [he] cannot print.” But there might be a clue in this post of who’s pictured–maybe some of these actors will be reprising their roles in the spin-off?

The new generation has arrived, with the Xbox Series X and Series S having launched earlier this week, and the PlayStation 5 launching today. Microsoft and Sony are professional rivals, but both companies have given each other a friendly message of solidarity upon the launch of their new consoles. Today was Xbox’s turn to give kudos to PlayStation.

In a series of two threaded messages on Twitter, the official Xbox social media account said congratulations to PlayStation. It went a little more heartfelt with a second message, saying “Generation after generation, it’s been a pleasure to game alongside you.”

For the Xbox launch on November 10, Sony similarly congratulated Microsoft, with a cheeky message using a Friendship finisher from Mortal Kombat 11.

Fallout 76 is getting ready to introduce one of the most iconic pieces of series lore next month. The Steel Dawn update adds a new questline that will introduce the Brotherhood of Steel, the techno-religious military that has appeared throughout the series. A new trailer promises the update is coming on December 1.

In Steel Dawn, you’ll meet Paladin Leila Rahmani, who has moved her troops from California to establish a foothold in Appalachia. You can choose to work with or against the new Brotherhood faction, and either way, you can unlock Brotherhood weapons and armor.

The game started laying the groundwork for this over the summer, with a Brotherhood of Steel themed community event that gave away some cosmetic items. Those included a beret, camp banner, Brotherhood Collectitron station, and more. The Brotherhood is a well-known part of Fallout fiction, especially notable for their hulking power armor.

EA’s FIFA series has been in the spotlight recently over its controversial FIFA Ultimate Team mode and the potential impact that this has on its younger audience, with government and lobby groups comparing it to a form of gambling. In a big change for the annual soccer franchise, an upcoming patch will allow parents to control several aspects of FIFA 21.

As reported by Eurogamer, you’ll be able to limit how many matches can be played in the game, monitor playing time, and limit how many FIFA Points can be purchased and spent. EA won’t be able to tell you how much you’ve spent in terms of real-world money, as the details of these transactions from Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo aren’t shared with the publisher.

FIFA Points are the in-game currency that is acquired from the relevant platform provider in exchange for real-world cash and are used to buy FIFA Ultimate Team packs. Each FUT pack contains random soccer players with varying degrees of rarity and skill.
