The first trailer has just been released for the latest addition to the Far Cry video-game series, Far Cry Primal.
You can watch the trailer below:
The ‘Far Cry’ franchise has had an amazing run over the last several years with 3 and 4 being huge commercial hits that garnered much praise from critics and gamers alike. It was natural that there would be a new game in the works. Finally, we got our answer what the new ‘Far Cry’ game will be about – the franchise is going back in time and will showcase survival in the Stone Age.
The main series of games has followed different protagonists through various fictional settings like the tropics in ‘Far Cry’ an Unnamed African Country in ‘Far Cry 2’, the Rook Islands in ‘Far Cry 3’ and the country of Kyrat ‘Far Cry 4’. Now the game will let you be a human from the year 10000 BCE by the name of Takkar in the ancient land of Oros. The objective for the player will be to survive and conquer this beautiful, but wild Mesolithic land. Oros will be full of mega fauna like enemy tribes, Mammoths and saber-toothed tigers. There have been many crazy things in this franchise like yetis and mutants, but I did not expect this move by Ubisoft. I must say it looks like a huge upgrade for the player to be hunting wooly mammoths instead of sharks.
Ubisoft Toronto, Ubisoft Shanghai, and Ubisoft Kiev are helping with bringing the world of ‘Far Cry Primal’ to life. Jean-Christophe Guyot – the creative director behind ‘Prince of Persia’ from 2008 and ’Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands’ – is the game’s creative director.
‘Far Cry Primal’ is expected to be available on February 23, 2016 with a PC release in March of that year.
Even though Tom Holland has been cast to play Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (clearly indicating Marvel’s intention is to start with Peter Parker), some fans are still hoping to see Miles Morales at some point.
Jon Watts, director for the untitled Spiderman film due in 2017, was asked during an interview with Yahoo if there has been any serious discussion of Ultimate Spiderman Miles Morales appearing in his film. Watts is quoted as saying the following:
“I can’t talk about that, because, you know, that will reveal too much. We’re still writing the story…we haven’t finished all the way through the story yet, so who knows.”
If you’re hoping to see two Spideys in one film, your wish could come true… maybe.

Junkie XL is set to compose the soundtrack for the upcoming 20th Century Fox film, Deadpool, based on the notorious Merc with the Mouth himself.
The Grammy nominated composer is no stranger to feature film scores. Junkie XL’s (otherwise known as Tom Holkenborg) impressive resume includes working on several box office hits such as Zack Snyder’s 300: Rise of an Empire, Neil Burger’s Divergent, and George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road. He also has worked with Hans Zimmer, one of the most renowned composers in film. Zimmer had Junkie XL collaborate with him to work on additional material for The Dark Knight Rises and Man of Steel, but his biggest work with Zimmer will be heard next year as he composed the score for Superman in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice.
The Deadpool film’s scheduled release date for the film is February 12, 2016.
Thoughts on this news? Are you looking forward to hearing Junkie’s work on Deadpool?

Good news for fans of The X-Files! Not only do you have a six-episode revival series to look forward to, but a new report indicates that the revival will use the same opening credits as the original series.
Series creator Chris Carter was quoted as saying the following:
“We thought about doing some changes to the original credits, but then it seemed like like sacrilege. Those credits were on 202 episodes. They belong on these next six.”
His statement was to the audience at the MIPCOM television trade fair in Cannes (France) where the first episode of the revival was premiered, which was one of only a few moments where the audience broke into applause.
The X-Files revival officially begins airing on January 24th, 2016.
Thoughts on this report? Are you happy that the revival will be using the original opening credits?
In one of the more bizarre recent Marvel stories, Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn had posted on his Facebook page recently that Marvel weren’t allowing him to use the Sneepers aliens in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. This was because the word sounded like an Icelandic word which translated to “clitoris”.
As well as confirming this, Gunn confirmed that at least one Sneeper will appear in the sequel to last year’s hugely-successful first Guardians of the Galaxy film.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is scheduled for release on May 5th, 2017.
Thoughts on this news? Are you looking forward to seeing at least one Sneeper in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2?

After months of anticipation following the news that Lego would be making their first Doctor Who set (based on AndrewClark2’s Doctor Who and Companions Lego Ideas submission), the first official images of the set have been released online by The Lego Group.
The mini-figures in the set include Peter Capaldi’s Twelfth Doctor, Matt Smith’s Eleventh Doctor, Clara Oswald, two Daleks and a Weeping Angel.
The official product description of the set reads as follows:
“Construct a stunningly detailed LEGO® version of the iconic TARDIS® and role-play the Doctor’s time-travel adventures! Created by fan-designer Andrew Clark and selected by LEGO Ideas members, this set is based on the BBC’s popular and long-running television series about a Time Lord – the Doctor – exploring the universe in a blue police box.
