Marvel’s Hawkeye: Disney Plus’ Jeremy Renner Series Adds Three Directors

Marvel has recruited multiple directors to helm episodes of the Disney+ Hawkeye TV series starring Jeremy Renner’s Clint Barton.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the studio has tapped Amber Finlayson, Katie Ellwood, and Rhys Thomas to direct a “block of episodes” for the upcoming six-episode season, written and executive produced by former Mad Men scribe Jonathan Igla.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/04/25/marvel-reshuffles-mcu-phase-4-slate-again”]

Finlayson and Ellwood, better known by their pen names Bert and Bertie, are a filmmaking duo who burst onto the scene with Amazon’s coming-of-age comedy Troop Zero, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival last year. They also recently helmed episodes of Hulu’s acclaimed comedy-drama series The Great, starring Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult.

Meanwhile, Thomas has worked on various Saturday Night Live sketches over the course of his career. He made his feature film debut with Staten Island Summer, which was released for digital download in 2015. He then went on to direct Amazon’s action-comedy series Comrade Detective, as well as John Mulaney & the Sack Lunch Bunch for Netflix.

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=marvel-cinematic-universe-every-upcoming-movie-and-tv-show&captions=true”]

Hawkeye is set to tackle a story that will see the titular hero train up a new bow-wielding protégé, the popular Kate Bishop, who is also a key character in the Matt Fraction and David Aja Hawkeye comics run from which this Disney+ series has taken its logo design.

Hawkeye was supposed to be part of the first wave of Marvel shows hitting Disney’s streaming service later this year. However, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, the first series in the proposed line-up, appears to have been quietly pushed back from its August release date.

Shin Megami Tensei 3 Remaster Announced For Nintendo Switch And PS4

Nintendo shared the first trailer for the Switch-exclusive Shin Megami Tensei V during its surprise Nintendo Direct Mini, but that isn’t the only game in the series coming to the hybrid console. During the same stream, Nintendo also revealed that Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD, a remaster of the cult PS2 classic, is also in development for Switch.

Nocturne HD is billed as a “full high-definition remake” of Shin Megami Tensei III, which originally released for PS2 17 years ago. While a version of that game featured Dante from Capcom’s Devil May Cry series as a guest character, it appears this remake is based on Nocturne Maniax Chronicle, which replaced him with Devil Summoner’s main character, Raidou. You can watch the first trailer for the game below.

Shin Megami Tensei III Nocture HD does not yet have a release date, but it’s slated to release in Spring 2021. The official SMT website also confirms the remaster is coming to PS4 as well.

Cadence of Hyrule: DLC Packs, Season Pass Announced

Cadence of Hyrule: Crypt of the NecroDancer featuring The Legend of Zelda will get three paid DLC packs, the first of which is out today.

Announced in today’s Nintendo Direct Mini, the Zelda themed rhythm-adventure will be getting three packs:

 

  • Character Pack ($5.99) – Out today, this pack adds Impa, Aria, Shadow Link, Shadow Zelda and Frederick to the game, each with new abilities and weapons.
  • Melody Pack ($5.99) – This pack adds 39 songs to the game, including remixed versions of the game’s background music (by Family Jules, Chipzel, and A_Rival). Music can be changed at any time.
  • Symphony of the Mask ($9.99) – This pack adds new story content in which you play as Majora’s Mask’s Skull Kid, adding a new map and new songs along the way. Skull Kid will change abilities depending on which mask he wears.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/07/20/cadence-of-hyrule-dlc-trailer”]

No release date was given for the latter two packs, but they’ll be released before the end of October. A season pass is also now available for $14.99, and adds bonus costumes for Link and Zelda.

A complete edition of the game, featuring all the DLC, will launch on October 23 for $39.99.

We awarded Cadence of Hyrule an 8.8 review, saying it “absolutely deserves to stand in the Zelda canon alongside the best of its 2D games.”

How to Build Superman’s Gaming PC

At the end of last week, actor Henry Cavill posted a video to his personal Instagram account chronicling his adventures assembling a gaming PC. It was a full build from the ground up and is an absolute beast of a machine.

The video begins with a still shot of the various components and peripherals, as is the unofficial requirement for PC-building ascension videos, followed by Cavill assembling, and then reassembling, his massive PC. While his video editors did a good job blurring out the brand names of the various components (keeping Cavill from giving them free publicity or endorsements) anyone with familiarity with PC gaming can identify just about everything in his build from the boxes and components alone. Which is what I did.

Now, there are a few components I’m unsure of, like the exact SeaSonic PSU and Fractal Design case, but I went with my best-guess for those based on the rest of Superman’s super-build. If you’re in the US, and a movie star, you can click the link to buy the components from Newegg.

What’s Inside Henry Cavill’s PC

[poilib element=”commerceDeal” parameters=”slug=henry-cavills-gaming-pc-components”]

Henry Cavill’s PC Gaming Peripherals

Among the parts and pieces in the video’s initial still are a keyboard, display, and gaming mouse.

[poilib element=”commerceDeal” parameters=”slug=henry-cavills-pc-gaming-peripherals”]

Estimated Total Cost to Build Henry Cavill’s PC

This estimate is very rough, because supply-chain disruptions and overwhelming demand for PC parts and accessories have driven prices all over the place. Basing it on the prices currently advertised on Newegg, here’s the estimated breakdown (prices in USD):

  • ROG Strix GeForce RTX 2080Ti 11GB – $1239.99
  • RYZEN 9 3900X 12-Core 3.8 GHz – $429.99
  • G.SKILL Trident Z Neo Series 32GB DDR4 RAM – $143.99
  • NZXT Kraken Z Series Z73 Liquid Cooler – $299.99
  • ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII AMD X570 Mobo – $556.03
  • SeaSonic PRIME TX-1000 PSU – $499.99
  • Samsung 970 Pro 1TB NVMe SSD (x2) – $679.98
  • Fractal Design Meshify S2 Black ATX Tower – $149.99
  • Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit – $109.99

Total Cost at Current Prices: $4,109.95 USD

So at today’s exchange rates that’s £3251.62/$5862.84AUD/$5565.37CA…and that’s without the display, mouse and keyboard.

So there you go. If you have that kind of cash on-hand, you can build Superman’s PC. It’s probably overkill for most people’s needs, but when it comes to PC gaming, my philosophy is “figure out how much you can afford, then double it, then figure out some way to save up that money.”

Shin Megami Tensei V and 3 HD Remaster Releasing in 2021

Nintendo has announced that Shin Megami Tensei V will release next year, in 2021. It will be accompanied by a HD remaster of Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/07/20/shin-megami-tensei-v-official-trailer”]

The new RPG from Persona creator Atlus is currently in development exclusively for Nintendo Switch. Today’s Nintendo Direct Mini did not offer any month or seasonal launch window, but stated that 2021 will see a simultaneous worldwide release for Shin Megami Tensei V.

The game itself deals with an apocalyptic vision of the world where “order itself has crumbled and chaos reigns over all”. The trailer poses the question “in a world without its creator, which path shall you choose?”, and is sure to make it very clear that God is dead.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/07/20/shin-megami-tensei-iii-nocturne-hd-remaster-official-trailer”]

Additionally, a HD remaster of Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne will be released in 2021, launching in Spring. The original released in 2003 for PS2, but the post-apocalyptic JRPG featuring a half-human, half-demon protagonist has been updated with HD visuals for the Nintendo Switch. It’s currently unclear if this will be with any additional content, akin to other Atlus re-releases like Persona 4: Golden.

As spotted by Twitter user Wario64, Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne HD Remaster has been slated for a PS4 release as well as a Switch launch. This information comes from the game’s Japanese website, which advertises an October 29, 2020 launch date for the game in Japan. As such, its currently unclear if the game will be on both consoles for its worldwide launch in 2021, too.

The trailer for Shin Megami Tensei V notes that a new journey will begin in the “wake” of the HD remaster of Shin Megami Tensei 3, suggesting that the next entry in the series will arrive later than Spring.
