  1. In Republic of Pirates we get to build and take care of our own settlement among turquoise waters and swaying palm trees, and it's been out since a few days ago on PC. There is also a demo to test, so raise your flag and take it for a test ride.
    Here there is a resource-based economy to consider as well as diplomatic relations to nurture, but when the words are spoken, real-time sea battles can also be resorted to. To help with that, you must recruit and upgrade well-known pirate captains, so they can use their abilities to liberate islands and defeat other factions.
    There are eight different ship types to take advantage of, and you can also customize them with various emblems and cosmetic details. The game has a campaign of around 30 hours, but you can also play in a free mode where you can adjust various settings and play a little as you like.
  2. Ubisoft finally revealed the gaming world's worst-kept secret last week, and Beyond Good & Evil: Anniversary Edition , which is a remaster, was finally released yesterday. If you are interested and curious about how the new version compares to the original, the YouTube channel ElAnalistaDeBits has made a handy comparison video.
    Among other things, we see samples of slightly improved mountain geometry, vegetation in 3D instead of just flat textures that stick out, properly polished character models as well as more advanced lighting and shadows.
    But basically, it's the same game mechanics running in the background, so those who liked the original will feel right at home.
    And there will be more Beyond Good and Evil , because Ubisoft has added some new material to the remaster that will connect the plot with that of the sequel that has been in the works for 15 years, and confirmed the other day that work on the game is still ongoing.
  3. And game creators can add specific events that are highlighted.
    There are a number of solutions for recording your computer gaming, including OBS and Shadowplay. Now Valve is getting into the game by integrating its own solution directly into Steam, which they call Game Recording.
    The feature is now in beta and includes several features, such as background recording that continuously captures what is happening and saves it to a specific location on one's computer, up to a specific storage limit. You can also use your Steam Overlay to quickly jump back to, for example, see what the hell it was that killed you. You can of course also start and stop recordings whenever you want.
    The system also includes a timeline where you can mark points of interest you might want to look at later, and games can also include support for marking specific events that happen, such as dying or achieving something spectacular.
    The clips can then be edited with a set of simpler tools, saved and sent between different devices. Recording is also supported on Steam Deck and can also be used in non-Steam games as long as they allow Steam Overlay.
    How To To test the beta version, open Steam, go to Settings – Interface – Beta Participation and select one of the beta versions. After restarting Steam, go to Settings - Game Recording and select the recording method you prefer.  
  4. There have been a lot accusations over the past few years about cheaters and hacks in Battlefield 2042. There have been no real proof other than we know that software are available to buy with which you can cheat in the game, cheats like wallhack, aimbot etc. EA have always claimed that there are minimum amount of cheaters in the game and not long ago they even switched out the anti-cheat software to their own software claiming it was better and would stop cheaters. Well, it's not better, it does not stop cheaters and EA blatantly ignores reports and evidence.
    In the last couple of weeks new evidence have emerged of a well known content creator and pilot, LukeSkyfarmer, cheating in the game and with those cheats beating word records. Of course the content creator claims the evidence to be fake even when more and more videos, clips and other evidence is being exposed. Luke is also known to associate with known streamsnipers, being toxic and running a YouTube channel with videos harassing other players. Many of his know companions such as CptDaddyHind, Salim and some others have also been caught cheating, some of them have stepped forward and confirmed it all, some have gone under ground and some still denies it.
    What is EA and Dice saying about all of this? Nothing, because their anti-cheat software would of course detect cheating that is this obvious.
    This latest cheating controversy have once again divided the Battlefield community into two camps, the ones that have the evidence and exposes the content creator and the ones that state it as fake. The latter part is of course friends of his.
    Streamer and content creator AsheBF broke down some clips of LukeSkyfarmers flying, and Ashe who is a very good pilot himself and the victim of year long streamsniping had some interesting points to make.
    Expand to see video.
    Twitter post of CptDaddyHind cheating.

    For all the drama, leaks and more, go to Ashe's Twitter and follow along.
    What are your thoughts? Real or fake?
  5. In the wake of the Fallout series on Amazon Prime, several Fallout games have "more than doubled" their Steam concurrent player stats (according to Steamdb). The series is of course an obvious reason, but Bethesda (coincidentally!) has also teased some games, and Fallout 76 is currently free to try for doom-seekers. That, Fallout 4 and Fallout: New Vegas have all received major boosts.
    That's about doubled, tripled, yes, even quadrupled the numbers for the Fallout games.
    And there will be more: Fallout 4 will receive its next-gen upgrade to the PS5 and Xbox Series consoles on April 25. Anything other than many players would, of course, be a disaster. And Fallout 5 …? Well then, it's coming. But it will be after The Elder Scrolls VI release, and when it will happen we don't even dare to guess.
     
  6. Four days after The Day Before was released in early access, developer Fntastic has run out of money. And that's why they are shutting down the business, the studio announced via X (Twitter).
    Fntastic writes that there are no financial means to continue operations. The income received must go to "partners". You don't say anything if you intend to refund money to those who bought the game.
    As before, Fntastic says that it did not make any money from the players during development. But running out of money four days after the start of sales doesn't seem to help them wash away the scam stamp. Nor that until just over a month ago it was said that it would be released as version 1.0, and now turned out to be extremely unfinished and released as an early alpha.
    The future of The Day Before and the studio's previous games Propnight described as "unsure" but the servers will continue to function, they say.
    At the time of writing, the game is still available for purchase via Steam (no, you won't get a purchase link). It remains to be seen how long it lasts.
    Ever since The Day Before was presented it has been accused to be a scam or hoax. Early movies looked unreasonably good, thought skeptics, and others believed that content in the movies came from other games. Then it got into a name dispute, was delayed and removed from Steam.
    Last Friday it was released - and slaughtered by Steam players. That is, those who managed to get into the game servers, because despite all the controversies, the game was extremely popular. Which is surely fantastic for the game makers and their partners. Worse for the buyers who played too much to refund the game, however.
    As of writing there have since been public statements that anyone who wants can get a refund not matter play time.
  7. Modder Cosideci is the creator behind the incredibly acclaimed Skyrim Together, which is a mod that enables multiplayer in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. As soon as Starfield was released he immediately started working on a corresponding mod for it, but when around a week after release he actually sat down to play the game , he discovered something.
    This game is so fucking bad. I didn't realize it until after I actually started playing the Saber game a week after release. The game is boring and lacks identity, and the main appeal of Bethesda games, exploration in a vibrant and hand-crafted world, was completely gone.
    With that, he shuts down the development of Starfield Together, because he doesn't want to put his heart and soul into a mod for a "mediocre game like this". However, he will not scrap his work, but will make the source code available so that others can take over the project, if there is someone who wants to.
    On Reddit he clarifies that he may have exaggerated a bit in the post on Discord, but maintains that the game is incredibly mediocre and does not include what Bethesda do best - exploration based game mechanics. However, he says he likes the role-playing elements.
  8. The GTA VI trailer was released last week, a little earlier than planned even, and at the time of writing has nearly 140 million views on YouTube . But not everyone was completely satisfied with getting the first official look at almost part of Rockstar's hit franchise.
    Lawrence "Florida Joker" Sullivan is a man nicknamed for his Joker-inspired facial tattoos and (once upon a time) green-dyed hair, and now he's angry that a character in GTA VI possibly inspired by him and the "mug shot" which was taken after he was arrested.
    Shortly after the trailer release, he posted a video on Tiktok telling Rockstar that "We need to talk", but he doesn't seem to have been heard, and now he's released additional videos.
    In the latest he claims that Rockstar has stolen his life and that he wants "a million or two", so upwards of 20 million kroner. Lindsay Lohan tried a similar claim when she thought a blonde woman in GTA V's marketing was a copy of her, but lost in the end in the right.
    Someone who doesn't think Sullivan will get a kick out of Rockstar is Roger Clark, the voice of Arthur Morgan in Red Dead Redemption 2, and he instead urges Sullivan to take advantage of the attention he's received to build his brand.
     
  9. It was heavily criticized in advance, but the question is whether The Day Before's worst time is now. Out of roughly 18,000 Steam reviews, 80 percent give the thumbs down for the early access release. Stupid AI, empty world and a bug fest are focal points of criticism. "Bad game, fun bugs", someone writes. "It turned out to be a real game. Wish in a way it wasn't like that", writes another.
    It should be said that this is (huge?)early access, but the large open world promised doesn't seem to be very large or open. Also, it wasn't that long ago that developer Fntastic changed from 1.0 to early access. They have removed several old teasers.
    Worse than the criticism (and a logical consequence) is that the players flee The Day Before. The peak of 38,104 at release gossips about many curious. The peak in the last 24 hours stands at 7,690 and at the time of writing, 2,642 is in. The trend is definitely pointing down, if we study the Steamdb curve.
    Upon release, an enthusiastic Fntastic posted:
    And maybe it's already out in the cold?

  10. Rumor: The Witcher wraps up with fifth season

    Movies & TV · SirMadsen · 10/12/2023 03:22 AM

    Netflix's The Witcher series has been a contentious production, to say the least. Although it has its audience, large groups of fans seem to really loathe it. Additionally, there have been reports and allegations of behind-the-scenes fights, which many assume is the reason why Henry Cavill decided to hang up the wolf medallion and leave the role of Geralt of Rivia behind. As a result, Liam Hemsworth will take over the monster-slaying task for the upcoming season four.
    But it looks like we won't see Hemsworth portraying Geralt anytime soon, as a new report from Redanian Intelligence (a long-time site covering all things The Witcher) says the series is coming to an end with its fifth season. It is said that work has currently resumed on writing the script for the fourth season, and once that has been completed, the script for the fifth season will also be written, as the plan is to produce these two seasons at the same time. Due to the strikes, filming on season four is said to start in the first half of 2024, before then take a break before production on season five starts.
    Netflix still hasn't greenlit the fifth season of The Witcher, and the report reads: "Season 5 is very likely the final season of The Witcher on Netflix."
    Were you hoping for more?
  11. The storm surrounding the long-awaited Aquaman sequel continues, and according to recently leaked documents obtained by Variety, there are many indications that Elon Musk played a crucial role in the film's production. Without him, Amber Heard would most likely have been fired and cut out of history.
    But even before the legal battle between Depp and Heard took place, it is claimed that her role was in jeopardy. Reason? That it just didn't click between her and Jason Momoa. So when Warner, despite all the negativity and pressure, chose to keep the actress, many people were surprised.
    Now, however, we may have the answer to the mystery, and why Warner allowed her to stay. Apparently, the ex-boyfriend Elon Musk has interfered and threatened legal action - to "burn down the house" so to speak, in a really angry letter that was sent to Warner. Which obviously seems to have done the trick.

  12. 5 most common roman torture techniques

    History · SirMadsen · 10/12/2023 03:07 AM

    Torture was a common practice in ancient Rome, especially during interrogations. Until the second century CE, torture was used only on slaves (with a few exceptions). After this period, torture also concerned the lower social strata. The slave’s testimony was considered true under Roman law only during torture. It was thought that they could not be trusted and that they had to be intentionally “tried” ¹. 
    Some of the most common torture techniques used by ancient Romans include:
    Crucifixion: A form of death penalty used in ancient times, including by Persians, Romans, Phoenicians and Carthaginians, as a form of shameful execution on slaves, rebels and other non-full citizens. Only a low-level citizen (humiliores) could be sentenced to such death – in the event of a serious crime, e.g. betrayal of his own country. The convict was then tied or nailed to a large wooden cross and left there until his death. It was an unusually long and painful death ¹. Damnatio ad bestias: A form of capital punishment where the condemned person is killed by wild animals in front of a large audience in an arena. This punishment was usually reserved for those who committed crimes against the state or religion ¹. Boiling in oil: The victim was immersed in boiling oil until they died ². Molten gold poured down the throat: This method involved pouring molten gold down the victim's throat until they died ². Death by parasites: The victim was tied up and left outside to be eaten alive by insects and other parasites ². Please note that these methods are extremely brutal and are not condoned by modern society.
  13. That Starfield is "deliberately made to be played for a long time" sounds like a no-brainer. In fact, however, Todd Howard says this is a lesson Bethesda learned from feedback from Skyrim and Fallout . In the Game Maker's Notebook podcast , Howard tells Insomniac's Ted Price:
    It was important to Todd and company that it would feel natural to continue playing after the campaign, which Starfield's new game plus solution will ensure. (One you shouldn't google for spoiler reasons.)
    Howard adds that games that tend to be played for longer periods of time indirectly become "live games" in a way. The players keep the games alive by playing them, and the developers provide them with new content and keep the interest alive. It becomes a kind of cycle.
    It remains to be seen how long-lived Starfield will be. That it will live for a long time, yes, we take that for granted.
  14. Out of nowhere we get The Elder Scrolls: Castles mobile game. Although the game is only released for Android and in the US, a wider release is likely only a matter of time. The question is: when?
    It seems Bethesda adopted the surprise strategy with Fallout Shelter being announced and released at the same time - but here without an announcement? We don't even have a trailer to look at. Well. The key phrase is possibly "Fallout Shelter" because the screenshot below gives off such vibes. Reading the official description, we learn that the game…
    There are, of course, a number of question marks to be resolved. It also remains to be seen if the game makes a similar journey to Fallout Shelter, which was released for both PC and consoles within a few years.
  15. The trailer was set to "private" on Youtube.
    What is happening with the remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic ? The game shook the internet in September 2021, but since then we've been shaking for other reasons - and now we're shaking again.
    Sony seems to be working hard to wash away the traces of the remake. The trailer in Playstation's YouTube channel is set to private. On X/Twitter it is also reported that Sony has taken down all tweets about the game - except for one where it is mentioned together with other games. It does not bode well.
    It is not the first time we have seen this. In the summer of 2022, there were rumors that the KotOR remake was on hold, and later it was reported that the developers had changed. As recently as May, Embracer claimed that the game will be released – the same Embracer that closes studios and shuts down games.

  16. Black Holes Explained (by ChatGPT)

    Science · SirMadsen · 05/06/2023 07:31 PM

    This is a conversation with ChatGPT about black holes.
    Question:
    What is a black hole
    ChatGPT Answer:
    A black hole is a region of space where the gravitational force is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from it. Black holes are formed when a massive star runs out of fuel and collapses in on itself, compressing all its mass into an incredibly small space.
    The boundary around a black hole, beyond which nothing can escape, is called the event horizon. Once an object crosses the event horizon, it is said to be "inside" the black hole and is unable to escape its gravitational pull.
    Black holes are not visible to the naked eye because they do not emit light. However, their presence can be inferred by the effect their gravity has on nearby matter, such as stars and gas. Scientists study these effects to learn more about the properties of black holes, including their size, mass, and spin.
    Question:
    How does it work?
    ChatGPT Answer:
    Black holes work by bending space and time around them due to their immense gravitational pull. The theory of general relativity, developed by Albert Einstein, predicts that the gravitational force of a massive object is strong enough to cause the fabric of space and time to warp and curve around it.
    As a result, objects that come too close to a black hole, such as stars or planets, are pulled towards it and eventually swallowed up. The closer an object gets to the black hole, the stronger the gravitational force it experiences and the faster it moves towards the black hole.
    Once an object crosses the event horizon, it is trapped by the black hole's gravity and cannot escape. The object will continue to fall towards the singularity, the point of infinite density at the center of the black hole, where it is crushed by the extreme gravitational forces.
    The exact nature of the singularity is still a topic of research and debate among scientists, as the laws of physics as we currently understand them break down at this point. However, the existence of black holes and their properties have been inferred through their effects on nearby matter, such as the orbits of stars around them, and by studying the radiation they emit.
    Question:
    Could it be a portal?
    ChatGPT Answer:
    There is currently no evidence to suggest that black holes could act as portals to other parts of the universe or to other dimensions. While the behavior of black holes may seem mysterious and exotic, they are still governed by the laws of physics as we understand them, and there is no scientific evidence to support the idea that they could act as portals.
    It is important to note that any object, including a spacecraft or even a person, that comes too close to a black hole would be stretched and crushed by the extreme gravitational forces before crossing the event horizon. Therefore, it is unlikely that anything could survive the journey through a black hole, even if it were possible for the black hole to act as a portal.
    It is important to approach the topic of black holes with scientific rigor and caution, as it is a field of study that requires a deep understanding of the laws of physics and the universe around us.
    Question:
    What is the biggest black hole known to man?
    ChatGPT Answer:
    The biggest black hole known to man is currently believed to be TON 618, located in the constellation Canes Venatici, approximately 10.4 billion light-years away from Earth. 
    The estimated mass of TON 618 is around 66 billion times that of the sun, making it one of the most massive black holes known. It is an active galactic nucleus, which means that it is surrounded by a disk of hot gas and dust that emits intense radiation as it falls into the black hole.
    Other known supermassive black holes include S5 0014+81, which has an estimated mass of 40 billion suns, and SDSS J010013.02+280225.8, which has an estimated mass of 33 billion suns.
    It is worth noting that these estimates are based on observations of the effects of the black holes' gravitational pull on nearby matter, rather than direct measurements of the black holes themselves. Scientists continue to study these objects to learn more about their properties and the role they play in shaping the structure and evolution of galaxies.
    Question:
    Will our sun become a black hole?
    ChatGPT Answer:
    No, our Sun will not become a black hole. While the Sun is currently a main-sequence star, meaning it generates energy through nuclear fusion in its core, it is not massive enough to collapse into a black hole at the end of its life.
    Instead, as the Sun runs out of fuel in its core, it will evolve into a red giant, expanding and heating up as its outer layers expand outward. Eventually, the Sun will shed its outer layers and leave behind a hot, dense core known as a white dwarf.
    A star can only become a black hole if it is at least three times more massive than the Sun. When such a massive star runs out of fuel, its core collapses under its own weight, compressing all its mass into a singularity and forming a black hole. 
    Therefore, the Sun will not become a black hole at the end of its life, but will instead evolve into a white dwarf and gradually cool down over billions of years.
  17. Want to ensure the quality of the company's games.
    After the low ratings for Redfall, "disappointment" is a recurring word when Phil Spencer joins us to talk about the game in Kinda Funny Games' video call. The Xbox boss says he understands buyers' disappointment and feels the same way.
    One of the issues touched on is that the game only runs at 30 frames per second on both Xbox consoles - that is, even on the more powerful Xbox Series X. 60 fps support will be patched in later, but Spencer doesn't insist that it should have been there there at release.
    Spencer says he doesn't want to poke at developers' creative ambitions. However, he sees it as his task to ensure quality and completion. In the roughly 40-minute long broadcast (watch in full above, or heavily shortened below), he also says that he takes full responsibility for the fact that $70 games have to be "great" when they're released. Which most people can agree that Redfall was not.

  18. How does the sun work?

    Science · SirMadsen · 04/27/2023 07:48 PM

    Question:
    Explain how the sun works
    ChatGPT:
    The Sun is a massive, luminous ball of hot gas, primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, with traces of other elements. It is a type of star known as a main-sequence star, which means it is in a stable state of nuclear fusion, converting hydrogen into helium in its core.
    The process of nuclear fusion occurs when the extreme pressure and temperature in the Sun's core cause hydrogen atoms to combine, forming helium atoms and releasing vast amounts of energy in the form of light and heat. This energy radiates outwards from the core, through the Sun's layers, until it reaches the surface, where it is emitted as visible light.
    The Sun's energy output is maintained by a delicate balance between the inward force of gravity and the outward force of energy released by fusion. This balance ensures that the Sun remains stable and maintains a consistent size and brightness over millions of years.
    The Sun's activity also includes the emission of charged particles in the form of solar wind, which interacts with the Earth's magnetic field and can create beautiful displays of light known as the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights).
    Overall, the Sun's fundamental workings are the result of the complex interactions between the fundamental forces of nature, and it remains one of the most fascinating objects in the known universe.
    Question:
    How big is it?
    ChatGPT:
    The Sun is an incredibly large object. Its diameter is about 1.39 million kilometers (864,938 miles), which is approximately 109 times that of the Earth. In terms of volume, the Sun is about 1.3 million times larger than the Earth, and it contains approximately 99.86% of the total mass of the entire solar system. To put it in perspective, you could fit about 1.3 million Earths inside the Sun. However, compared to other stars in the universe, the Sun is actually a relatively average-sized star.
    Question:
    Will it explode?
    ChatGPT:
    At the end of its life, the Sun will undergo a transformation known as a "red giant" phase. This is a period in which the Sun's core will run out of hydrogen fuel, causing it to contract and heat up, while the outer layers of the Sun will expand and cool down. During this phase, the Sun will grow to about 100 times its current size, and its outer layers will extend beyond the current orbit of the Earth.
    After the red giant phase, the Sun will eventually lose its outer layers and become a small, dense object known as a white dwarf. This process will occur over billions of years, and it is not expected to result in a violent explosion like a supernova.
    However, it's worth noting that the Sun is currently in the middle of its stable main-sequence phase, and it will continue to burn steadily for several billion more years before it begins to evolve into a red giant. So while the end of the Sun's life is a long way off, scientists are constantly studying the Sun to learn more about its behavior and evolution, and to better understand its potential impact on our planet.

  20. Denzel Washington stars in 'Gladiator 2'

    Movies & TV · SirMadsen · 03/18/2023 09:49 PM

    The cast of Ridley Scott's sequel is growing every day. Paul Mescal and Barry Keoghan have now joined in the gladiatorial arena.
    The ensemble in Ridley Scott's "Gladiator" sequel is now being expanded every day with new names. Yesterday it was clear that Barry Keoghan has been cast, today it is Denzel Washington who steps in to the ring.
     
    The veteran actor who we could see in everything from "Malcolm X" and Scott's "American Gangster" to "The Equalizer" is negotiating for the film's second major role, writes Deadline .
     
    "Gladiator 2" is the continuation of the grand and brutal story that took place in the year 180 in ancient Rome. Russell Crowe's character Maximus is dead, now we get to follow the boy Lucius who has grown up. He is played by Oscar-nominated shooting star Paul Mescal ("Aftersun"). The original film was nominated for 12 Oscars and won 5, including Best Picture.
  22. Bug fixes and optimizations at the wizarding school in Scotland. Tons of bugs and other issues have been fixed with patches released for both the console and PC versions yesterday. Everything from small glitches to bigger problems like difficulty finishing missions are fixed. Performance improvements and increased stability are of course among the more important things.
    If you are curious to go through the changes in detail, you have changelogs for PC , part PS5/Xbox Series to dig into.
    Hogwarts Legacy is also coming to PS4, Xbox One and Switch. The first two were recently delayed , and there release is now scheduled for May 5th. Switch owners have until July 25 to wait. Learn how to improve on the already impressive sales figures - the game sold faster than Red Dead 2 and Elden Ring when it was released.
  23. In August, the vacuum cleaner Embracer Group announced that it was taking over Middle-Earth Enterprises, giving the Karlstad company the right to the brand The Lord of the Rings. And in the latest quarterly report, the mouthpiece has been put in the blowout end, because there we are told that five - yes, five - Lord of the Rings games will be released in the financial years 2023 and 2024.
    The games are made by external studios, and these are not five completely unannounced titles. And just in case, a film is also being made.
    "There are currently five games in production by external partners, to be released in financial year 2023/24. There is also one film in production by an external partner. Freemode continues to make selective key recruitments in various parts of its business to strengthen the organization.
    It is not said which games are involved, but most likely the delayed Gollum is one of them. It should be released before October this year. We will probably have reason to return to the others shortly.
    In short: throw away the toe-razor.
  24. ____________________
    Dead Island 2 has been delayed time and time again, but the latest footage from the game has looked really good. In the latest video, two developers from Dambuster Studios talk about the FLESH system, which enables procedural damage to the zombies we attack in the game.
    In short, this means that the zombies have clothes, skin, fat, muscles, bones and internal organs that are exposed and torn apart in a realistic way depending on the weapon we attack with and how we actually hit. Not only does it result in a visually stunning system, but it also makes things easier for the developers, as they don't have to individually model what the damage looks like for all the different zombies and all the different weapons.
    Dead Island 2 is released (hopefully) April 28 for PC, Playstation 4/5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
  25. James Gunn is the relatively new CEO (along with Peter Safran) of DC Studios. He has previously said that future DC games will be part of the same DC universe as upcoming movies and TV series. Now the plans are further fleshed out and in a presentation regarding the company's future (thanks, VGC) plans to use the same actors, regardless of the medium concerned, are confirmed.
    "DCU is connected in film, television, gaming, and animation. Characters are consistent, played by the same actors, and it works in one story.
    However, Gunn adds that "DC Elseworlds", where the movie Joker is included, for example, is not included in this.
    We don't yet know which game will be included in DC's rebooted universe, but Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League likely won't. The Rocksteady title will be released in May and is part of the Arkham universe. It probably counts, if we're going to follow DC logic, as part of DC Elseworlds.
    Speaking of Rocksteady: Del Walker, formerly Rocksteady and now Naughty Dog, tweeted (his account is now protected by some reason, source instead: Gamesradar) criticizing the fact that voice actors who have worked on characters for years are potentially out of work. He cited the example of Tara Strong, who played Harley Quinn in a series of Arkham games and animated Batman series.
    His tweets can thus no longer be read, but they are preserved:
    "These writers and voice actors do 100 versions of everything. They are in the booth doing 600 lines of dialogue just to end up with 20 of the best in the game. You think you're going to get Robert Pattinson to outwork a VA actor? And for a budget that makes sense? Good luck.
    (It should be added that Robert Pattinson's The Batman counts as a DC Elseworlds movie.)
    Walker says he "never intends to work on a DC game again" if the plans go through. Worth mentioning is, again, that his tweets are no longer public so exact position is somewhat vague.
    James Gunn walks through some of the plans in the video below.
