Cineworld in the UK is closing all screens permanently due to the Coronavirus impact resulting in 5,000 job losses and many other chains globally are deeply affected. The postponement of the new James Bond film seems to have a devastating knock-on effect and is the final straw for many companies it appears. The film producers itself may also regret that move with potential limited locations and low capacity screenings for when it does finally launch in November. Could this be the beginning of the end for cinemas altogether? They were becoming very expensive despite some weekly offers from some chains, plus there are plenty of other means to watch new movie releases soon after whether it be from discs or streaming. Whilst it's nice to go out and watch something on the big screen, it's becoming less viable and attractive especially with things becoming so expensive and accessible through other means. I don't want to see cinemas die out but it is going to be very hard for them to recover due to the chain of issues the virus situation has caused.

I've heard HOTAS support is abysmal. Probably optimised exclusively for a controller despite high-end hardware selling out globally thanks to Microsoft Flight Simulator. Devs missed a huge trick there which will cost them an insane amount of sales on both console and PC.

Where's the next big Film Series/Universe coming from?
J4MES OX4D replied to GazzaGarratt's topic in Movies, TV & Music
I don't even think Covid is to blame as the likes of Hollywood and TV networks were long going downhill before this started. The coronavrius situation has merely given them an excuse to use and even more challenges going forward. There doesn't seem to be any originality these days so production companies are having to milk famous and historic brands as a framework like Star Wars. There is an over-reliance on special effects so good old fashioned narrative pieces take a backseat plus there is also the mentality that big-budgets equate to quality. Maybe if companies weren't pumping in outlandish sums then there wouldn't be such panic to get a huge return. A lot of big named actors are overpaid beyond comprehension now and many newcomers just seem to plain and uninspired. Despite the amount of choice we have to watch such things, quality seems spread thin and I really don't know if there will be any top-end franchises coming to fruition anytime soon. Even the Walking Dead is still being milked to death! There's better quality coming out of low-budget foreign films in all honesty. -
Film delayed again this time until April 2021! That’s over 1 year of delays plus we’ve recently had all the release trailers so it’s clearly a financial move.

I really enjoyed The Big Bang Theory but it started going downhill around when Penny got her haircut short. I'm not blaming that for the decline in quality but as the characters got older and gew up, the show seemed to get dumber and it went from a credible real-life comedy into some cheap sitcom with lots of simple humour where the characters really began to irritate and ideas were thin. I think season 8 onward marked the decline, plus the actors were getting exceptionally greedy in their wage demands - something like $600,000 to $1m an episode with even fringe characters earning six-figures in the latter seasons. Some of the later episodes were horrendous and they introduced so many pointless new characters and gave previous fringe ones larger roles which didn't expand or freshen up the show. Credit to Jim Parsons for leaving and missing out on potentially $40m but he knew the show had gone as far as it could. Two more seasons and its legacy would have been completely ruined.

3070 delayed until the end of the month

Hyper Scape also came into the market when it was already saturated by highly established and popular titles plus there was literally zero marketing. Nobody knew of it aside from some NDA content creators until 2 days before it launched which was just a baffling approach. Did they think the gaming community would view it as a wonderful surprise out of the blue and Christmas come early!? The wider reaction seemed to be 'oh not another one of these games'. Games that die in this genre fade very quickly and have some spectacularly woeful global player numbers. Be interesting to see how many are actually actively playing this.

Another Ubisoft flop that has to be overhauled it seems Ubisoft admits Hyper Scape is too hard and kind of boring, promises big changes | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM Cross play is also on the way, sooner rather than later.

Space required 150gb lol!

First images supposedly leaked - looks like a 3rd person space game. Hopefully this isn't running on the Fallout 2 engine😎

Man City 2-5 Leicester Hoffenheim 4-1 Bayern What a crazy day!

LOL Oxford United's coach stalled by alcohol spray WWW.BBC.CO.UK Problems getting to an away game were down to a safety device on the club's bus, the head coach says.

Weather effects in this game are beautiful

Damn, Chelsea clawed it back to 3-3 - was inevitable and although the points were shared in a game of two halves; both will be fairly pissed off after all that. WBA threw it away amen Chelsea still dropped 2 points.
-
Chelsea spent over £200m but are 3-0 down to West Brom in the first half hour😂

Mafia Definitive Edition
-
Destiny 2 will also require a full re-download when the new content is released.

Done a few chapters so far and loving it! The city is incredible, the driving feels perfect and the cars look remarkable. The script and acting performances are on another level too!

It's a bit of a weird bundle as you have Mafia 2 Definitive edition which is a port of the PS3/360 game. You then have Mafia 3 Definitive Edition which is a GOTY-type/complete package of the PS4/XB1 version and then you have Mafia Definitive Edition that is a brand new game which is a remake of the 2002 PC original.
-
Dead on arrival I reckon.
-
The trilogy contains the new Definitive Edition released today rather than the original from 2002. It's worth it for that and Mafia 2 I'd say!
-
It's a great deal and Mafia 2 is an amazing experience. Mafia 3 is dogshit but the first two games pay for themselves in this bundle so it's definitely worth getting.

Xbox Series S may be a good springboard for people wanting to access the gamepass early on with a view of getting a PS5 in the future. If you have a PC then there is no point in getting either the S or X in which a PS5 is more viable. The S is a weaker console but it's much cheaper and probably only has 3 years to run which can easily accommodate the short-term games before it beings to strain. Definitely not worth getting both the PS5 and X as that's just wasting money especially in the first gen. I will get a PS5 down the line but first I want to see what their plans are with future console releases and what games will be available on PC. If Sony match what Xbox is doing then I may not need to get anything anytime soon.
