Ready for new sequels: "Now I know what I'm going to do for the next six, seven years," says James Cameron. No one is surprised that "Avatar: The Way of Water" attracts a huge cinema audience. But no one is more relieved than James Cameron himself because it was never clear that the audience's interest would rekindle after 13 years. We've been waiting a long time for this sequel - but it delivers, already grossing over $1.5 billion in just a few weeks. You may remember how Cameron said that the lavish adventure film would have to bring in a lot of money before it turns a profit? And that the fate of the sequels depended on it? Now it has happened, and we can therefore count on "Avatar 3" to be followed by both a 4th and a 5th. The director promises that in a new podcast interview: "It seems that the film has momentum and will easily cross the break-even line within a few days. So I can't escape, I have to do the other sequels. Now I know what I will do for the next 6-7 years. According to the Hollywood Reporter, he will soon meet with Disney to discuss plans for "Avatar 3," which has already been shot. Furthermore, there are scripts for "Avatar 4" and "Avatar 5", where the plan is again to shoot both films at the same time. - We have started a franchise now. We have started a saga that can take place over several films, says Cameron. "Avatar: The Way of Water" may have cost as much as $400 million to produce and another $200 million to market, according to sources. Now we eagerly await "Avatar 3" which continues the adventures on Pandora Christmas 2024.

Francis Ford Coppola's dream project "Megalopolis" is barely halfway through and the recording is so chaotic that it may have to be stopped. It oozes "Apocalypse Now" a long way in terms of production. In a short time, Coppola's upcoming sci-fi "Megalopolis" has lost a lot of key people and several employees have reportedly been fired. Among other things, an art director and the entire special effects team have fled. In addition, the budget is said to be beyond all control. - It was total madness to be on the set, points out a source to The Hollywood Reporter. The dream project has thus turned into a nightmare! The shoot, which is underway in Atlanta, was scheduled for 90 days of work but now things look dark for the entire production, according to The Hollywood Reporter. "Megalopolis" is perhaps the legendary "Godfather" director's most ambitious film to date. With a budget of more than 120 million dollars, also from his own private pocket, "Megalopolis" is his big dream project that he wanted to implement for 30 years. A dream that now does not seem to be coming true. In the cast we have (or maybe had...) big names like Adam Driver, Forest Whitaker, Nathalie Emmanuel and Laurence Fishburne.

StateShift (Win) After an era of political unrest in the early 21st century, the world's leaders have fallen and natural resources have been depleted. This results in the downfall of the world economy and leads to a series of bloody conflicts in a world where the less fortunate strive for survival and live for one reason.... illegal racing. In StateShift, racing machines with highly advanced morphing abilities compete in illegal underground races around the world. Drivers go one on one with up to fifteen racers across nine tournaments. The titular stateshifts refer to special power-ups the player can unlock. With names such as «Dragster», «Ghost», «Mamouth» and «Scorch», they can be used to drive faster or take corners more sharply, but require picking up energy cells on the tracks to recharge. The game has various modes including Career Mode to unlock new tournaments, tracks, characters and stateshifts, Time Trial, Challenges, Quick Race and various tutorials. The game also has a multiplayer mode via Wi-Fi. File Information Submitter [[Template core/front/global/userLink is throwing an error. This theme may be out of date.

ReactOS View File If talk of the alternatives being Linux and UNIX is leaving you on edge, consider ReactOS as your Windows alternative. Originally launched in 1996 as a Windows 95 clone project, the official website states that "the ultimate goal of ReactOS is to allow you to remove Windows and install ReactOS without the end user noticing the change." In short, the aim is that you should be able to continue using your PC as you did before. ReactOS features over 9 million lines of code and is open source. However, ReactOS has been in the alpha stage for quite some time now. While some apps, such as Adobe Reader, will run on ReactOS, many won't. It's lightweight, though, requiring just 500MB of hard disk space and 96MB of RAM to run. One day, ReactOS might be a perfect, free alternative to Windows, but until then, it is available for your evaluation. Install it from the boot CD or run the LiveCD on your existing operating system.

There are Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6 reasons to believe in a long wait for Fallout 5. The game is confirmed, but will only be released after Bethesda's other two giant RPGs. 2028-ish? Perhaps? We'll see. While waiting for part five in the series, we get the chance to rediscover the soon-to-be 25-year-old Fallout 2 as an fps. The fan-made game can be played online as well as downloaded and costs nothing, although you can support the game and the creators through things like Patreon. The developers, Jonasz Osmenda and Alexander Berezin, emphasize that this is an early access version. Feedback is welcome. The Fallout series turned 25 last fall (the second coming so quickly after the first), and it was in that vein that this 3D version was revealed. One that literally gives us Fallout 2 in a new perspective. Download directly from here or from the developers site where you can also play the game online and donate (and you should) to the project.

Vampire Survivors not only became one of the most popular games on Steam in 2022, it was also released for Xbox and mobile formats before the end of the year. Something striking is that the mobile version is really free. No, not free-to-play, but free through and through. The end. Or yes, maybe a little comma is in order. Namely, there are advertisements for purchases in the game (but "no pop-ups"), which you can ignore and avoid interacting with. The reason is that the developer wants to make money somehow "but in the way that least affected the players" (via Mobilegamer). However, the road there turned out to be more complicated than developer Luca Galante, Poncle, could have imagined. It appears in a New Year summary on Steam. The plan wasn't to develop the mobile version on our own but after spending months without finding a team that wanted to make the game without greedy monetization in the back of their minds, they felt compelled to take development into their own hands. "Unfortunately, nobody I spoke with was on board with the monetization I had in mind for the platform: non-predatory. Another reason for developing the mobile version ourselves was the fact that similar games started to line up, where some were pure "copies with stolen code, data and stolen assets". However, it is acknowledged that the version has some unpolished elements, and as there is a lack of manpower, this may take longer. However, there was never any talk of not making Vampire Survivors "free-for-real". "If you're like me, then if you wanted Vampire Survivors on mobile you'd have been happy to just pay a couple of bucks for it and call it a day. But the mobile market doesn't work like that and by making Vampire Survivors a paid app I'd have cut out completely a lot of new players from even trying the game. This is why we ended up with a free-for-real approach, where monetization is minimal and is designed to never interrupt your game, always be optional and in your control through a couple of 'watch ads' buttons, and doesn't have any of that real money sinks that mobile cashgrabs are usually designed around. It's just the full game, playable offline, in landscape or portrait, with touch controls or with a gamepad.

Feel defeated, Tom Cruise. James Cameron has officially made the biggest movie of 2022. It took the action film "Top Gun: Maverick" more than four months to reach $1.48 billion in revenue. The highest-grossing movie of 2022 is now beaten by "Avatar: The Way of Water", which reaches the same totals after just three weeks. At the time of writing, James Cameron's theatrical spectacle has grossed $1.43 billion. It is expected to overtake the "Top Gun" sequel in revenue today or tomorrow. "Avatar 2" cost 350 million dollars to shoot, and the marketing should have cost a fortune as well. The director himself stated that the film needs to make around $2 billion - and become one of the four biggest box office hits of all time - to break even financially. Variety believes, however, that Disney will make a profit already with revenues of 1.5 billion, which will therefore happen already this week. At this breakneck pace, it's probably only a matter of time before Cameron and his blue love warriors reach the next milestone of 2 billion. So far, only five films have succeeded in that: "Avengers: Infinity War" and "Avengers: Endgame", "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and James Cameron's own "Titanic" and "Avatar", of course. The original film is still today the biggest box office success of all time with revenues of 2.9 billion dollars.

It was recently rumored that Arkane's co-op vampire game Redfall has been pushed back a few weeks due to unspecified issues. It raises concerns that Starfield will also be affected, as both titles will be launched before the end of the year and Redfall will be first. But when Bethesda now threw up a support page for Starfield, it gives reassuring news: it says in black and white that the launch will take place in the first half of 2023. "Starfield arrives exclusively on Xbox Series X|S and PC in the first half of 2023. If Microsoft keeps all planned releases, then Xbox and PC players have a good six months ahead of them, with Starfield, Redfall (rumored for release in May), Forza Motorsport (premiere this spring), the survival sequel Ark 2, the Civilization-like Ara: History Untold and the strategy game Minecraft Legends. All the games shown at Microsoft's big summer show in June were then said to be released within a year

A year ago, Square Enix big boss Yosuke Matsuda said that NFTs and blockchain games would become a "huge trend" in the entire gaming world going forward. NFTs are digital gadgets that you exclusively own, but in 2022 the new technology hit major roadblocks here and there in the gaming world. Steam said no, the Stalker 2 team changed plans, and Ubisoft got a hell of a lot of thumbs down. The backlash has been huge and sales around NFTs have collapsed (according to the Wall Street Journal). Despite this, Yosuke Matsuda continues to underline the Square Enix venture. It appears in a New Year's letter. The company is, according to Matsuda-san, "mostly focused on blockchain entertainment". "Looking externally, I think it is fair to say that blockchain gained significant recognition as a field in 2022. Words that many people probably have opinions about. The majority of blockchain games are under development. The Square Enix boss believes that "confusion" can arise around new technologies before the public accepts them. "Blockchain has been an object of exhilaration and a source of turmoil. But with that in the rearview mirror, we hope that blockchain games will transition to a new stage of growth in 2023.

It looked critical for a while for American actor Jeremy Renner. The condition is still serious, but on Tuesday the star sent a greeting to his fans through Instagram. On New Year's Day, the star from "Avengers" ran over his own leg with a snow plow outside his home in Reno, Nevada, and suffered serious chest and leg injuries in the accident, writes CNN. The message on Instagram on Tuesday is the first sign of life from the star. “Thank you for all the kind words. I'm too ill to write but I send you all my love," the star writes under a picture of himself in the hospital bed, obviously ill with a swollen face filled with cuts and bruises. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm-KZ1YPJe7/ Earlier on Tuesday, Renner's press spokesperson updated more details about the star's health condition. The spokesperson also said that the accident occurred when Renner was plowing snow in the driveway of his house so that his family members could go home after celebrating Christmas together. According to the spokesperson, Renner's condition is stable and he is slowly improving. He is awake, can communicate and is in good spirits. However, he remains in the intensive care unit for a while longer as his condition is still considered serious but stable. The accident happened on New Year's morning. Renner's snowplow reportedly started rolling when the star was not at the wheel and he was injured when he tried to get into the plow truck to try to stop it. According to CNN, Renner used to plow both his driveway and the neighbors' driveways when needed. He has so far undergone two operations and it is unclear if more will be required.
