How to separate Twitch VOD music channel - Never get copyright strikes again
We all know by now that copyright strikes are being handed out left and right on all the major video and streaming platforms. YouTube will flat out stop your stream or mute your videos if any copyright material is found. Twitch will mute your VOD's but will let your stream running even if playing copyright music. If you want you VOD's not to be muted after stream while keeping your game and mic sound there is a way to fix that. It's simple and it's quick. You will have to be using OBS or SLOBS for this, I'm not sure about other software. The procedure is the same on both OBS and SLOBS. This does require that you have the possibility to have your system separate audio sources, like a GoXLR, audio separate plugin (recommended) or the Wave software from Elgato. Follow the few steps below and never get your VOD muted again. 1. Start by going into settings and navigate to Output options. Check the "Twitch VOD Track" option and select a track, preferably 6. 2. If you already have a music track you can skip to the next step. If not: Add a new "Audio Output" or "Application Audio Output Capture" if using the plugin to your scene and select the music source. 3. After you have added the audio source go back to you scenes and click the cog on any audio track and select "Advanced Audio Properties" 4. In advanced audio properties you simply uncheck all the tracks on your music output except track 6 and uncheck track 6 on all other audio outputs. There you go. Track 6 will now output on a special track to Twitch that will be heard on your live stream but not saved on the VOD.

Netflix is hiring for a new AAA game for PC
This summer, analyzes were released that indicate that less than one percent of all Netflix subscribers consume Netflix games on a daily basis. Yep, Netflix is investing in games, which you might have missed. Currently, you get access to roughly 40 mobile games, all of which require Android or Apple format. Now, however, we get strong indications that Netflix intends to invest in PC games – from triple-A cuts (via Mobilegamer). Now they intend to hire a game director for their Los Angeles-based studio. What this will do is build the vision for a “brand new AAA PC game”. "We’re looking for a creative and highly-skilled Game Director to help us forge the game direction and creative vision on a brand-new AAA PC game. As Game Director, you will be the creative leader of one of Netflix’s first generation of internally developed original games. That sounds ambitious. Having experience from fps and/or shooters in third person is meritorious. The Los Angeles studio is led by Chacko Sonny, who was previously the executive producer of Overwatch. Netflix has previously said that via the LA studio it wants to invest in cloud gaming, but that it should work as a complement to the Netflix range rather than competing with game consoles. The question is how this will go. With the Stadia shutdown fresh in mind, there are question marks to clear up.

Gary Oldman ready to retire: ‘Don’t want to be active when I’m 80’
The role in the TV series “Slow Horses” may be the actor’s last, he says himself in a new interview. After 40 active years in the film world, with famous roles in the “Harry Potter” films and the “The Dark Knight” trilogy, Gary Oldman is beginning to see the end of his career. In a new interview, the British actor says that he feels ready to retire soon. "I’ve had an enviable career, but careers ebb and flow, and I have other things that interest me beyond acting, Oldman told the Times. The actor is currently featured in the TV series “Slow Horses”, the first season of which was released in the spring, where he plays the main character Jackson Lamb. Oldman, who has signed on for a total of four seasons of the spy thriller, says he would have felt satisfied if the role was his last acting career. "I turn 65 next year, and 70 is just around the corner. I don’t want to be active when I’m 80. I would have been very happy, honored and privileged to go out as Jackson Lamb, and then put an end to it. Oldman made his film debut in 1982, in the drama “Remembrance”, and had his breakthrough a couple of years later with the one title role in “Sid & Nancy”. During his career, he has been praised for his performances in films such as “Léon” and “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy”, as well as being awarded an Oscar for the lead role in “Darkest Hour”. In recent years, he has been featured in, among other things, the David Fincher drama “Mank”. Before Oldman retires from acting, however, we’ll see him reunite with Christopher Nolan for a role in the historical drama Oppenheimer, which hits theaters next summer. Most recently, the actor can be seen in the second season of “Slow Horses”, which premieres on Apple TV+ on December 2.

“Avatar: The Way of Water” must gross over $2 billion
The sequel was “damn expensive”, says director James Cameron. “It has to be one of the highest grossing films of all time”. The first cinema tickets have released and a final trailer for this winter’s (no, this year’s) blockbuster, “Avatar: The Way of Water” have released. James Cameron’s sequel to the mega-hit ‘Avatar’ looks set to once again stun audiences with stunning visual effects and push the boundaries of the wonders of modern film technology. But the question is whether the audience success is as given as last time? Do we even remember what happened in the first “Avatar”? Despite the high ticket cost (up to $30) and the long running time (3 hours 12 minutes), both Disney and James Cameron hope that the audience will make a pilgrimage to the nearest cinema, as they did 13 years ago. The film was “damn expensive” to shoot, says the director to GQ: "It’s a really lousy business model. Because we have to become one of the 3-4 highest grossing films in history. That is the goal, then we reach break-even. - James Cameron

Carrey would have played Satan in the sequel to “Bruce Almighty”
If the screenwriters of the Jim Carrey comedy from 2003 had their way, the film would have received a much darker second. The original film was about a disgruntled reporter (Carrey) who for a week receives the powers of God (Morgan Freeman) and the mission to make the world a better place. It was not unexpectedly a huge success, grossing $484 million, and screenwriters Steve Koren and Mark O’Keefe (who co-wrote the film with Steve Oedekerk) quickly began speculating about a sequel. “Brucifer” would be about Bruce’s girlfriend Grace (Jennifer Aniston) dying and Bruce adopting Satan’s powers to resurrect her. In an interview with Syfy, Koren talks about the idea: "I remember when we pitched the idea and Jim tanned his ass. We thought she would come back as Jennifer Aniston. But he said “No, she has to look like a zombie first and then we’ll make her beautiful again”. We thought it was brilliant. But it seemed that the film company was unsure about the dark theme and in the end the film was never made. "It came from a serious site, but we thought of writing it in a very friendly way. We really didn’t want to depress people. So I think that scared the film company a little bit but Jim totally understood that we wanted to make a big comedy and that people would relate to it. Instead, we got the 2007 spinoff “Evan Almighty” with Steve Carell, which was a well-deserved flop. In a better world, we would have seen Carrey as Satan and Aniston as a zombie…

Diablo 4 is more open, but has “beginning, middle and an end”
The release for Diablo IV is approaching, and is rumored to take place already in April. In the past, Blizzard has said that the adventure will take around 35 hours to complete – if you focus on the story. There is, of course, much more to see. In a new interview, Blizzard believes that the open world does not interfere with the story. Rod Fergusson, general manager, tells IGN that their open world isn’t of the same caliber as, say, Zelda: Breath of the Wild . It’s not completely organic and you can’t go anywhere. "That’s not really our story. Our story allows for non-linearity, but there is a story – we wanted to have a beginning, middle, and end. Fergusson says that you can take advantage of the story for a while with breaks for side missions. What is important to point out is that there is a beginning, middle and end – and a more open world around it.

Starfield is released after Redfall
In May, it was announced that both Starfield and Redfall would miss their planned release dates this year, which is often full of delays. Both have been moved to 2023, but there are no release dates yet. But now it looks like Redfall will be released first followed by Starfield. The task comes from none other than Xbox Game Studios head Matt Booty and he says it in the Friends Per Second podcast, Pcgamesn writes. Bethesda’s latest bid is for both to be released in the first half of 2023, and if that schedule holds, Microsoft worshipers will have two heavy names to look forward to before the summer holiday season.

Ncsoft is said to be working on a Horizon MMORPG with Sony
The rumors has once again blossomed, and this time in South Korea. It is the MTN (Korean) news site that reports that they have spoken to an insider who states that Ncsoft and Sony are discussing an MMORPG set in the Horizon world. In that case, the development would be handled by an internal team at Ncsoft, but the project still seems to be in its infancy and the company is now recruiting people. Ncsoft themselves say that they do not want to comment on unannounced projects that are under development, so the whole thing should of course be taken with a pinch of salt. Ncsoft has proper experience in the MMO genre, with games like Guild Wars, Lineage and Aion on the track record. They are also known for a long series of controversies and incidents, not least involving Ultima creator Richard Garriot, who was forced to leave the company under questionable circumstances and then successfully sued it for over $30 million.

TMNT Shredder’s Revenge is getting a Playstation 5 version
The beat’em’up game featuring the mutant turtles was very well received by both players and critics. Now it seems that TMNT Shredder’s Revenge will also get a dedicated Playstation 5 version. There is really nothing strange about this, but the strange thing here is that according to them themselves, the game will be identical to the PS4 version. Why they choose to release an identical version is unclear as the game can already be played on PS5 through the PS4 version, but regardless Shredder’s Revenge is a really good game.

Lionsgate interested in making a John Wick game
As you know, Lionsgate has two films with John Wick on the horizon, but according to IndieWire , the studio also seems to want to make a game based on the series. John Feltheimer at Lionsgate says that they are currently discussing making a big investment in a game project, but that nothing is set in stone yet. According to “I don’t want to get ahead of myself here, but we believe there is a big AAA game to be made out of ‘John Wick,'” “We have been fielding proposals. We certainly are interested in moving that forward, but I don’t want to say anything more about that at this time.” Now, there are already games based on John Wick in the form of Bithell Games’ John Wick Hex , but what Lionsgate is talking about would be a title with a much bigger budget. Would you like a AAA investment of John Wick?

Kojima Productions is said to have been offered huge sums for a buyout
Big acquisitions in the gaming industry have become almost commonplace in recent years, with deals such as Microsoft’s acquisition of Zenimax and their ongoing acquisition of Activision Blizzard. But one who can’t seem to attract any of the industry giants is Hideo Kojima. In the latest episode of his podcast Brain Structure – with Geoff Keighley as guest – he addressed the topic, saying that he receives offers from all over the world on a daily basis to buy Kojima Productions. Some of these offers reportedly involve “ridiculous amounts of money,” but Kojima says he’s not interested in the money, as he started the studio to be able to make the games he wants to make. He therefore believes that he will not accept such an offer as long as he lives. Kojima Productions is currently said to be working on a sequel to Death Stranding , which Norman Reedus happened to reveal. However, they seem to have at least one other project in the works, which will involve the actors, Elle Fanning , Margaret Qualley and Shioli Kutsuna. The project could be the horror game called Overdose that was rumored before.

The Witcher is about to get a Unreal Engine 5 makeover
The announcement comes 15 years after the game’s world premiere (October 26, 2007). The new version is powered by the Unreal Engine 5 game engine and is “rebuilt from the ground up”, as the announcement states. The remake is made by the Polish developer Fool’s Theory, who previously helped Larian with Baldur’s Gate 3, among other things. According to CD Projekt, they contribute with their know-how and support. The project is quite fresh, so while there are no indications of when it will be finished, you can be sure that it will take a while. The game goes by the working name Canis Majoris, and was thus one of the five projects that CDPR mentioned when they staked out the future a few weeks ago. Then it was called a full-sized The Witcher game with no connection to the new The Witcher series CDPR is working on, and coded by an external studio. The Witcher original thus fills mop today. Just under a year later, an improved version was released with the additional name Enhanced Edition . It was the start of a particularly acclaimed game series.

Tim Burton no longer wants to work with Disney: "Like a terrible giant circus"
Tim Burton is in Lyon, France, where he was awarded a prize at the Lumière Festival over the weekend. On Saturday, the day after receiving his Prix Lumière, Burton took part in a press conference where he talked about how the film industry has changed during his long career. Among other things, Burton mentioned his complicated relationship with Walt Disney Studios, which welcomed him as an animator in the 80s but scared him away when he directed the undrawn "Dumbo" (2019). "My story is that I started at Disney. I was hired and fired several times during my career. When I did "Dumbo" I realized that my time with Disney was over. I felt like Dumbo working in a horrible, big circus and I needed to escape. In a way, the film is autobiographical. The filmmaker believes that the studio no longer wants to invest in creative and innovative ideas. All Disney focuses on are franchise films from Marvel, Star Wars and Pixar: - It has become very homogenous. There is less room for other things, says Burton according to Deadline. Tim Burton began his film career with dark and quirky characters such as Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands. He was also early on in laying the foundations for today's superhero era with two Batman films in the early 90s. In recent years, there have been several family films at Disney, including "Alice in Wonderland" (2010) and "Frankenweenie" (2012). When asked if he would like to take the director's chair on a Marvel film, he answers hesitantly: I can only handle one universe at a time, not a whole multi-universe. Burton is soon to be featured in the TV series "Wednesday" on Netflix. A dark and gothic series about the Addams Family feels eerily right for the director. However, many fans are curious if there really will be a sequel to the horror comedy "Beetlejuice" (1988) - and if he is involved? - Nothing is impossible. It's only when I'm on set that I know I'm making a film. I'm working on some ideas right now, but it's very early to say anything. We'll see how they go. Does it work as a non-response? What is your favorite Tim Burton movie? Feel free to comment.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 has sold 13 million copies and 80 million DLCs
Euro Truck Simulator 2 celebrated ten years on the market a couple of days ago, and via their blog they shared some interesting numbers from this strangely popular simulator. They themselves write that the game's success and placement on top lists in connection with the release in autumn 2012 came as a surprise. The shock continued with the release on Steam a few months later, where it also became a bestseller. Since then, 13 million copies of the game have been sold, and on top of that they have managed to churn out 80 million pieces of DLC. However, it should be added that these DLCs don't just include mediocre expansions with whole new lands to explore and the like, but also smaller things, like special paint jobs for the trucks. Those are still impressive numbers, and surely it's fun when something so niche becomes a huge thing? They also say that they hope the game will live for ten more years and that there are many features they still want to implement, which may not sound so promising to people who are hungry for a proper sequel.

Sony tweets about Bloodborne, then deletes the tweet
Many people agree that the number of remasters and remakes is often exaggerated. But! Just as many (at least) probably wouldn't turn down a PS5 remaster of Bloodborne , whose PS4 original hardly flows flawlessly on PS4. While you're at it: a PC version too, please. Rumors have come and gone but so far we have no Bloodborne remake in sight. Yesterday, however, Sony posted a tweet showing a cropped and zoomed-in image of Bloodborne 's cover, and the question: "Can you see that? Do you see which Playstation game we're zooming in on?" What knitting needles!? However, the tweet was taken down (for some reason) and we are left with a lot of unanswered questions. 4,000 shares were made and maybe someone got cold feet from a joke taken too far. Or did it mean "something"? We do not know. We may never get an answer.

EA Sports invests 11 million dollars in women's soccer
In this year's edition of FIFA, EA Sports introduced women's club teams to the game for the first time. The game features Womens Barclays Super League and Division 1 Arkema. It is also planned to release DLC in the form of the Women's Champions League next year. Now EA announces that they have intentions to continue supporting women's soccer and will invest a total of 11 million dollars for the purpose, both in the game and in reality. The set 11 million will be distributed to women's football via a fund called "Starting XI Fund", but new women-related DLC material will also be invested in FIFA 23. Next year, EA Sports will also start an internship program aimed at women and its impact in sport. However, this will not be financed by the fund, but there instead partners will be used.

Cyberpunk 2077 has been played by 1 million daily for 4 weeks
In recent times we've had the Netflix series Edgerunners, news about the expansion Phantom Liberty and the news that Cyberpunk 2077 has sold over 20 million copies. CD Projekt also stated that in September, one million people played daily, although it should be added that it was only a matter of a few days. The trend has continued and CD Projekt proudly states that one million have played Cyberpunk 2077 daily for four weeks. It's no shame for a game that had a chaotic launch and is almost two years old. A sequel was recently confirmed.

The Wolverine game will be released in 2023, claims Microsoft
In the same vein that Insomniac revealed Marvel's Spider-Man 2 with a release in 2023, they also confirmed Marvel's Wolverine in a nagging short teaser. That game was described in fall 2021 as "very early in development" . No date was mentioned. For its part, Microsoft claims that Insomniac and Playstation Studios plan to release this Marvel title as well in 2023. Tech4Gamer notes in documents regarding the British Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) that Wolverine and others will be released in the coming years. "Playstation also has a spate of first- and third-party exclusive titles lined up for launch in 2023, including Spider-Man 2, Wolverine, Horizon, Final Fantasy XVI and Forspoken. Wild guess? A mistake? Or do they know something we don't? Most unclear.

Gollum developer Daedalic is happy to make more Lord of the Rings games
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum definitely has potential, even if what has been shown has not received a resoundingly positive reception. Everything from the graphics and Gollum's design to the game mechanics have received skeptical comments, and the latest we heard from developer Daedalic was that the game is being delayed (for the second time) indefinitely instead of releasing as planned on September 1st. However, Daedalic are hopeful and believe that the game may show the world what they are capable of creating in Tolkien's world, which they hope will lead to them telling another story there. In an interview with Gamesindustry , Jonas Hüsges says that a success with Gollum could lead to them tackling another part of the universe and telling a new story. But of course it depends on the game's reception and, above all, how well it sells. One should also bear in mind that Swedish Embracer is in the process of buying up Middle-earth Enterprises and thus many of the rights connected to Tolkien's works.

Sunny apocalypse in the Fallout: Miami mod trailer
There are a lot of ambitious mods out there, and Fallout has attracted quite a few such projects. One of those is Fallout: London, but if you want to go to warmer places, maybe Fallout: Miami would be something. The team has been working on this Fallout 4 project in their spare time for several years now, and a few days ago a new trailer was released. It doesn't show gameplay (although most people probably know what Fallout 4 looks like), but offers a glimpse of the different places we'll get to visit at Miami Beach. The mod will have a storyline to follow as well as side quests, voiced characters, new items and two factions: Nuclear Patriots and Enclave. The developers themselves say that the mod has the same scope as an official expansion. However, there is no release date, as projects like this completely rely on how much free time the developers can devote to it. However, they say they have internal goals, but they don't want to share them yet. The mod will only be released for pc, due to its size. More info on the official website.

Spider-Man 2 still aiming for 2023 release
Everything is delayed. Most of the time. So it's perhaps not so surprising that worried fans are asking Insomniac on Twitter if the vague 2023 release window will hold for Marvel's Spider-Man 2. According to Insomniac, there is no cause for concern. "Good progress" is being made and they still hold 2023 as the release date for the sequel. Spider-Man 2 was unveiled in September last year and since then we haven't seen the smoke of another trailer, but that shouldn't be cause for concern - according to Insomniac. Anyone who wants a new (or at least "new") Spider-Man in the near future just has to wait another month. The PC release for Spider-Man: Miles Morales is set for November 18.

Overwatch 2 has already broken the original's record for concurrent players
In the first ten days, more than 25 million have played Overwatch 2, compared to the 15 million that attracted the original in the first three months. The bragging numbers come from Blizzard themselves, who claim that the sequel completely crushed the original's peak for concurrent players. Blizzard CEO Mike Ybarra says in a press release that the moment is important for Blizzard. "The launch of Overwatch 2 has been such an important moment for Blizzard. This is only the beginning—there are so many possibilities to explore in the world of Overwatch, and we cannot wait for players to experience everything the team is building for the live game. Worth mentioning is that the second is free-to-play, while the first was a game we bought. It should also be emphasized that the reporting about the game's problems is piled high. Blizzard has promised compensation in the form of double xp weekends. The Metacritic average is really low, but on the other hand, Blizzard is used to even lower averages . Whether this is a consolation is debatabl

Gotham Knights is locked to 30 FPS on Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X/S
WB Games Montreal says that their upcoming Batman game (without Batman) will lack "performance mode" and the ability to choose between it and "quality mode". Gotham Knights will also be locked to 30 FPS on consoles. According to them, it's because of the co-op and cooperative nature of the game. The information about this was posted on their own discord and has since been spread via, among other things, twitter by others. In other words, they haven't released any official information about this (yet). Gotham Knights is unleashed on the world on October 21st, coming to PC, PS5 and Xbox Series consoles. The game was supposed to be released on Xbox One and PS4 as well, but the developers decided to scrap the idea of releasing Gotham Knights on last-gen consoles. https://twitter.com/Nibellion/status/1581179543846498305

Hellena Taylor is rallying fans to boycott Bayonetta 3
Hellena Taylor has been Bayonetta 's voice in two games, but in the 3rd it is instead Jennifer Hale who does the witch's voice. It has been unclear why they switched voice actors. but at the same time, it has happened before in the gaming world that iconic voice actors have been replaced. Sometimes it can have to do with things as simple as scheduling conflicts, but in Taylor's case, it's all about the money. According to her, she was only offered $4,000 dollars to do the role. She posts this in a twitter post while rallying fans to boycott the game. These are harsh words from Taylor where she feels that Nintendo has not treated her well and also accuses Platinum Games of lying. As icing on the cake, she also sends a boot to Jennifer Hale and calls her "new girl" who has no right to call herself the voice of Bayonetta . Bayonetta 3 will be released on October 28th for the Nintendo Switch.
