New Sherlock Holmes Movie With Robert Downey Jr. And Jude Law Delayed 1 Year

The new Sherlock Holmes movie starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law won’t be out on time. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the third chapter was previously expected to hit theatres on Christmas Day 2020, but now it’s coming to cinemas on December 22, 2021.

No reasoning for the delay was provided.

In the film, Downey Jr. returns to play the famous fictional British detective Sherlock Holmes, with Law reprising his role as the sidekick Dr. Watson. Chris Brancato (Narcos, Hannibal) wrote the script, while Guy Ritchie–who directed the first two Sherlock Holmes films–is rumoured to return for the third.

The first one, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, premiered in 2011 and made more than $545 million at the global box office. The second one, simply titled Sherlock Holmes, came out in 2009 and made $524 million worldwide.

Another movie based on the detective and his sidekick, Holmes and Watson, was released in 2018 starring Will Ferrel and John C. Reilly. It was bashed by critics, and it made only $40 million against a reported production budget of $42 million.

Fallout: New Vegas Dev’s Share Interesting Lore Detail About New Game The Outer Worlds

The Outer Worlds is the next RPG from Obsidian, and gives one of the most experienced studios in the industry an opportunity to play in a new space-faring setting. If you have some nagging questions about the game, chances are co-directors Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky addressed them in a lengthy new Q&A session.

The Game Informer podcast hosted the Q&A with questions from fans. It delves into details from the esoteric to the mundane, with an occasional diversion regarding their history establishing the Fallout franchise. A few choice tidbits include the level cap of 30, and the fact that weapons and armor will have modding but no crafting system.

Some of the most detail comes from implications surrounding the story. The duo say that they saw at least one fan speculate pretty accurately on what’s changed in the alternate timeline the game takes place in, and it may not be what you’d expect. They suggest that one of the key turning points in history was the assassination of President William McKinley in 1901. Without that event, the alternate history speculates, Teddy Roosevelt wouldn’t have taken office and implemented a trust busting agenda. This suggests that Roosevelt failing to break up large corporations is largely responsible for the alternate history presented in The Outer Worlds.

That said, they also note that there is no authoritative codex in the game that outlines exactly what happened. You’ll find documents that give different perspectives, and you can piece together some key parts of the world lore, but there’s no definitive voice to tell you what’s true and what isn’t.

The full show is more than an hour long, and it’s filled with lots of interesting answers and sometimes even more interesting non-answers. The Fallout-like game is one of our most anticipated games of the year.

Beat Saber Is Finally Getting Another Music Pack, And It’s Coming Soon

Beat Games has announced that the first music pack for Beat Saber will be coming out this month. The music pack will also be accompanied by an update that changes the game’s UI.

For now, the Beat Saber Music Pack 1 is scheduled to release on March 14. This update includes OST Vol. 1, OST Vol. 2, and Extras, and will go live across both PS4 and PC, so the latter will finally be getting the songs that have previously been exclusive to the former. Beat Games hasn’t yet announced what songs are included in Music Pack 1. However, the developer did reveal what the new UI for the game would look like, and the redesign should help you easily browse through songs in each OST released for this Music Pack and any future ones. The new UI can be seen in the tweet linked below.

If you haven’t tried Beat Saber yet, you absolutely should. The game has you swing lightsabers and dodge obstacles to the rhythm of different songs, all while immersed in virtual reality. It’s a pulse-pounding experience that we picked to be one of our top VR games in 2018. Beat Saber is officially out on PSVR, but still in early access on HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and Windows Mixed Reality. That said, the PC versions of the game support a huge modding community, which has already added dozens–if not hundreds–of additional tracks for you to play.

In our Beat Sabers PSVR review, Alessandro Barbosa gave the game an 8/10, writing, “Beat Saber is an exhilarating rush and an exhausting game to play in the best way. It has great music that is more varied than you might expect, complemented by smartly designed levels that marry their complex patterns perfectly to the beat. It’s difficult to get bored of Beat Saber, especially thanks to its extensive campaign that pushes you to get better with each step up in difficulty. But that same campaign is also uneven at times with confusingly counterintuitive challenges, which might frustrate you to the point of taking a break. And when you do, you’ll realize that Beat Saber is also currently thin on content, with only a handful of songs and no means to upload customs ones. Yet despite those flaws it remains consistently satisfying to play, and is certainly one of the best PSVR games you can buy right now.”

Forza Street May Have Been Accidentally Revealed

Turn 10 Studios may have outed the existence of an upcoming Forza mobile game. A recent community update erroneously linked to a sentence mentioning an unannounced mobile game called Forza Street, and it even names the developer.

GT Planet reports that the mistaken link appeared in the latest Forza Motorsport Week in Review. The link was intended to lead to a story about a recent esports winner, but instead linked to a description of a game. The link has since been corrected on the Forza site.

“Developed in partnership with UK-based studio, Electric Square, Forza Street is built from the ground up to support a wide range of Windows 10, iOS, and Android devices,” it read.

There is no announced game called Forza Street. The developer did develop a game called Miami Street for Windows 10 in 2018, in partnership with Microsoft Studios. It’s possible Microsoft is putting that studio on a mobile version of its racing franchise, and borrowing the “Street” surname in the process. Alternately, Miami Street could have started as a Forza mobile game, but was changed at some point in development.

Since 2011, Microsoft has produced a new Forza game every year, now alternating between the simulation Motorsport series and the open-world Horizon series. The most recent game was Forza Horizon 4, which takes place in the UK and features track conditions that change with the seasons.
