The sequel pretty much no one believed would happen.
Pacific Rim was the film gamers were going to love thanks to its flashy visuals and focus on giant robots fighting massive monsters. Many did, but not enough to make the movie a major money maker for Legendary and Warner, scraping past $100 million at the US box office.
Thankfully, the monster pic with production budget to match ($190 million), managed an international haul of $310 thanks largely to China. This it seems, along with the passion of director Guillermo del Toro, has been enough to greenlight a sequel.
Zak Penn and del Toro will write the script. It's not...
Beta just the start of what the game will offer, says Visceral Games VP Steve Papoutsis.
"We want to thank everyone who took part!" wrote Visceral Games VP Steve Papoutsis on the Battlefield Blog. "Running a beta during E3 was definitely something that was hard to pull off, but we did it for two reasons. First, we want your feedback early. We're listening to it, we're acting on it and it's going to help make Hardline a better game when we launch in October.
"Second, we're gamers like you. It's great to hear about games and see games, but we want to play games. And even though it is still early and we have a lot of work left to do, it was important to us that you...
"You can see we've made some key decisions to focus on new aspects of the game – things like our all new Sims, vibrant neighborhoods, and powerful creative tools - just a to name a few," producer Ryan Vaughan wrote on The Sims website.
"And while we recognise that some of you will be disappointed that pools and toddlers won't be available when The Sims 4 Base Game launches in September, you should know that we're building an incredibly strong foundation that is capable of fulfilling every one of your desires in the years to come. The future of The Sims 4 is bright!"
In an interview with CVG, Yusuke Hashimoto spoke of how Nintendo has given Platinum Games freedom to "create what we had originally envisioned."
He added, "I feel that it's important to let your creativity flow and Nintendo has been able to provide us with the freedom to create what we had originally envisioned.
"We were able to have a lot of back-and-forth between Platinum Games and Nintendo and they were able to provide objective feedback; 'Maybe that's a little too much', or, 'maybe you should try this'. I feel that was really good and helped push Bayonetta 2 to...
The Evolution of the Half-Breeds promises an insight into the work the studio has done to create the Lycans, showing off some of the early design work and how it progressed to the final design we saw during E3.
"Now, with the show behind us, we are diving back into development," wrote Ru Weerasuriya, CEO and creative director, Ready At Dawn Studios. "Thanks to everyone who came by our booth and everyone else who sent us feedback. We really appreciate it."
Spencer hasn't given up on family game sharing, but it's now more complex to implement.
The system would have enabled gamers to share games within a family group of 10 people.
Despite doing a complete U-turn, Xbox boss Phil Spencer believes these digital features may still have a future on the Xbox One.
"We looked at the digital features that we had talked about last year and as a gamer, there were a lot of those features that I think really resonated and were smart features for people who really have a lot of games and maybe play on a couple consoles or have bunch of people in the house or want to share with friends," Spencer explained on Gamertag...
In case you live under a rock, this year's World Cup saw Luis Suarez get banned for biting someone… again. Being the caring individuals that we are, we've made a list of 6 games he can play to pass the time before he returns in November.
Luis Suarez is "banned from taking part in any kind of football-related activity (administrative, sports or any other)". So does that mean he can't play FIFA? And if not, who the hell is going to keep an eye on him?
We imagine the Liverpool striker will be allowed to play EA's long-running franchise, though, so chin up, Luis. You can win the World Cup on there instead. It's practically the same. If you go online, too, people will still call you a '****'. Just like before…
Castlevania
As well as football, we imagine Suarez is banned from biting as well....
The developer says to ignore the 'Pre-Purchase' banner currently on the Steam page as the game "is already live for you to play if you purchase now".

Vostok Games says it wasn't responsible for claims the Kickstarter is fraudulent.
"We have contacted Vostok Games about their supposed claim that we are fraudulent. They say that they have no relation to that claim and have since deleted the forum topic wherein a moderator accused us of being fake," wrote West Games founder Eugene Kim.
"The Kickstarter comments section has been completely hijacked by a couple of people, and even if we comment there, our posts will be ignored and buried. Misery LTD in particular is developing another post apocalyptic video game and is stirring controversy to attract people to his Kickstarter project. I hope that you, our...
