Metal Gear Solid left behind a lasting impression on many people who experienced the game when it first launched in 1998. Hideo Kojima’s critically acclaimed game has been celebrated since then with official merchandise and fan art, and now a stylish pair of Air Jordans are part of that long list of tributes.

Kong: Skull Island director Jordan Vogt-Roberts commissioned artist Bud Sanfillipo to customize a pair of shoes to celebrate Metal Gear Solid’s 22nd Anniversary. Sanfillipo was tasked with recreating the signature art style of series artist Yoji Shinkawa.

The end result is a pair of shoes that would leave any Genome soldier curious about who was leaving behind a stylish pair of footprints.

The remastered Blade Runner adventure game was previously scheduled to release later this year, but with “later this year” quickly coming, developer Nightdive Studios isn’t ready to launch the game. In fact, it has run into technical issues that have delayed it to an unspecified future date.

Speaking to Eurogamer, Nightdive CEO Steven Kick blamed the delay on problems related to “old technology” and said the studio has not been able to locate the original source code or assets for the game. The source code was apparently lost decades ago after original studio Westwood was purchased by EA, and Nightdive has the more difficult task of reverse-engineering code in order to get Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition remastered.

To get the game running on all platforms, Nightdive is using its own engine and with code work apparently nearing completion, most efforts are on visual updates now. Kick added in the interview that the frame rate will likely be lowered to 30 FPS with a film grain placed over it in order to better achieve a cinematic style. Given the neo-noir nature of the original movie, this makes sense.

X-Men’s Simon Kinberg has signed on to write and produce Universal’s long-gestating Battlestar Galactica movie.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Kinberg, who has been shepherding X-Men stories to the screen since 2006’s The Last Stand, is on board to write a new script for the upcoming feature adaptation of the Battlestar Galactica sci-fi franchise. Kinberg is also set to produce the movie with Dylan Clark, who has already been attached to the project for some time.

“Battlestar Galactica is one of the holy grails in science fiction, and I couldn’t be more excited about bringing something new to the franchise, while honoring what’s made it so iconic and enduring,” Kinberg said in a statement. “I’m so grateful that Dylan [Clark] and my partners at Universal have trusted me with this incredible universe.”

Over the years, Kinberg has become well-known for his work on the X-Men film franchise, though he has also penned scripts for such films as Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Sherlock Holmes. He made his feature film directorial debut with X-Men: Dark Phoenix last year, and also recently served as one of the producers on The New Mutants, which is coming to Blu-ray and Digital HD on November 17.

The Battlestar Galactica movie reboot has been in the works for quite some time now, with Brian Singer initially attached to direct the film when Syfy’s BSG TV series was drawing to a close in 2009. Ultimately, Singer left the project, and the studio decided to take the film in a different direction with a completely new production crew. Jack Paglen and Lisa Joy were both previously assigned to scriptwriting duties.

The feature film adaptation of Battlestar Galactica is not connected to the new BSG TV series, which is currently in development for NBCUniversal’s Peacock streaming service. However, it has been confirmed that this new series, which is being executive produced by Mr. Robot creator Sam Esmail, will be taking place in the “same universe” as the original cult favourite TV series.

Gaming is expensive, whether you play on PC or are looking to pick up one of the new consoles this holiday season. Especially for kids without a source of income, it can make you feel left out of the fun, but Five Below and Fortnite champion Kyle “Bugha” Giersdorf have partnered on a new line of products that aim to help fix that.

Seven exclusive gaming items are now available in over 1,000 stores as well as the Five Below website. They include:

• LED gaming headset with boom mic
• LED gaming headset stand with USB ports
• LED gaming keyboard
• LED gaming microphone
• LED gaming mouse
• LED gaming mousepad
• LED gaming speakers & subwoofer set

That is a lot of LED. Despite the name of the store, these items aren’t actually $5 each. No, you’ll be paying the high, high price of $10 for them. For that little cash, you’re not going to get the same quality as you would from brands like Razer or Logitech, but it’s still everything you need to get started with playing games on a PC–minus the actual PC and games–and you’ll be able to chat with your friends while doing it.

Quibi is shutting down, having been around for about as long as it takes to speak the following three sentences: “wait, what’s Quibi? Oh, that sounds dumb. Wait, it has a Reno 911 reboot?” If you’d like to check that Reno 911 reboot out, there’s still time–but not a lot of it.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the streaming provider’s customer service page within the app had updated with an expected shutdown date. The app is likely to go down “on or around Dec. 1,” meaning that it’ll be gone before the end of 2020.

In some countries (such as Australia), Quibi has a free tier that’s ad-supported, so you can jump right in. If you’re in the US, Quibi is $5 a month.

Thankfully, not having much time is no problem with Quibi, since each episode is 10 minutes long or shorter.

Quibi struggled to have any real impact on customers, who didn’t, it turns out, want to watch a remake of The Fugitive broken down into small installments. The service also allowed every show to be watched in horizonal or vertical format, which is an interesting feature.

If you end up checking out Quibi as it fades away, give Flipped a watch–it was the standout show at launch.
