On the day that Spongebob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated released, speedrunners had already figured out a way to bypass almost everything in the game and skip straight to the end. Watch as Michael Hartinger (Project Manager, Purple Lamp Studios) and Martin Kreuch (Producer, THQ Nordic) witness this very feat happen right before their eyes. But a two-minute video is no fun, so we also had them watch a full any% speedrun right after.

Also, due to overwhelming popular demand, for the first time ever in a ‘Devs React to Speedrun’, we invited the actual speedrunner (SHiFT) to commentate along with the developers so he can explain the nitty-gritty of what’s happening on screen. Enjoy!

Holy Yara, Batman! That’s the name of the Cuba-like that is apparently the setting for FarCry 6. We expect to know a lot more after the Ubiforward Ubisoft stream this Sunday, but that won’t keep the News Games and More crew from speculating wildly in the meantime. We’ve also got Phil Spencer’s hot take on Series X/One X cross-gen capability, plus tons of entertainment news, from Batman stuff to Wonder Woman stuff to Fast & Furious stuff…so buckle in, because your car is magic and your fuel is Family. It’s news time!

Details on Ubisoft’s Far Cry 6 have leaked, outlining the basic plot, location, and villain of the game. Ubisoft sort of confirmed the leak when they tweeted that Far Cry 6 will appear in their Ubiforward games showcase on July 12.

What are the real consequences when life begins to imitate art? Comic book creator Todd Walkley (Jesse Williams), his wife Kathy (Jordana Brewster), assistant Aurora (Niamh Wilson) and best friend, Hard Calibre Comics owner Ezra (Baruchel), embark upon a road trip from Toronto to New York Comic Con and bad things start to happen. People start getting killed.

It soon becomes clear that a crazed fan is using Todd’s “SLASHERMAN” comic as inspiration for the killings and as the bodies pile up, and Todd’s friends and family become victims themselves, Todd will be forced to take artistic responsibility.

A cult-hit in the making, Jay Baruchel’s long-anticipated Random Acts of Violence, adapted from the popular 2010 horror graphic novel by the same name, is a force to reckon with. The Canadian filmmaker and actor, best known for his comedic bow in This is the End and as the voice of Hiccup in the How to Train Your Dragon series, has long been committed to bringing Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti’s vicious pages to the big screen, and wrote, directed, produced and stars in the upcoming film.

Coming out in the US, UK & Ireland on AMC’s horror streaming platform Shudder August 20th. In theaters and on-demand in Canada July 31st.
