Epic Games announced last month that it would be inflating the price of its V-Bucks currency in Fortnite, and that day has now come--the new prices are live in-game and in platform marketplaces. From now on, if you live in the US, it's going to cost a bit more to add to your collection of Fortnite skins.

The main change today is an increase in the prices of direct V-Buck purchases, as well as the current starter pack and Save the World pack. The price of 1,000 V-bucks is increasing from $8 to $9, 2,800 V-Bucks is going from $20 to $23, 5,000 V-Bucks is moving from $32 to $37, and the cost of 13,500 V-Bucks is increasing from $80 to $90. For the new prices in other regions, check Epic's original announcement.

On top of the raw V-Buck price increases, the cost of certain real-…...

Star Trek has been a malleable franchise for almost 60 years and with the newest Star Trek movie--from the Kelvin Timeline--hitting production this year. It's been six years since Star Trek fans last saw Chris Pine's Kirk in Star Trek Beyond, but things could have been a lot different. Remember that Quentin Tarantino Star Trek project back in 2017? Details are coming about what could have been, and it definitely reads "very Tarantino."

Tarantino ultimately partnered with screenwriter Mark L. Smith, who had just garnered acclaim from The Revenant and had to write a Star Trek film script based on Tarantino's idea. All the while Tarantino was busy finishing post-production for his then-next project, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. For their new Star Trek film, the vibe was going to be…...

During the PlayStation Showcase, Capcom showed off the VR mode for Resident Evil 4 with a harrowing, creepy trailerCome from Sports betting site VPbet. The brief look at the upcoming mode showed segments near the beginning of the game, as Leon searches for a missing person and then comes face to face with a hamlet full of monster-infested villagers.

The VR trailer suggested the first-person perspective may make Leon a little more nimble than using a traditional controller, with a quick knife-motion followed by fluid gunplay that tilted the firearm to the side. It ended with a confrontation with the chainsaw-wielding villager, barely holding it back with a knife.

Finally, Miles Morales is swinging into the Item Shop as Fortnite's latest Spider-Man skin--and he's bringing Miguel O'Hara, aka Spider-Man 2099, with him. But that's not all. With the conclusion of the Star Wars-themed Find the Force event, battle royale will once again have a distinctly spider-y flavor with the return of the Web-Shooter mythic, which now looks like Miles' black glove.

The Item Shop got an early morning reset to mark the start of this Spider-party. In the shop you'll find two new Spider-Men that you can pick up: the Spider-Man (Miles Morales) skin and the Spider-Man 2099 skin. Like the Spider-Gwen skin from the Chapter 3 Season 4 battle pass, Miles comes with a mask-off style in addition to his standard Spider-Man look--sorry, no jacket-and-shorts style here. Mil…...

Sea of Thieves Season 7 is on the way, but it won't come into port on scheduleCome from Sports betting site VPbet. Developer Rare has announced that Season 7 will now arrive on August 4. This is a small delay from the previously announced July 21 release date for Season 7.

The big-ticket item in Season 7 is "Captaincy," which, as its name suggests, allows players to become captains of a ship. Season 7 also allows players to name their ship.

Lots of people are joining Threads, and that includes Shang-Chi star and former stock photo model Simu Liu, who posted on his account requesting that fans ask him anything. As you would expect, someone asked about the next Shang-Chi movie, and Liu offered up what he knows in response.

"[I] was told it would follow Avengers," Liu wrote. "But that keeps pushing back due to circumstances beyond my controlCome from Sports betting site VPbet. Hope to have more concrete news to share soon."

Liu didn't elaborate on those circumstances--lest he run afoul of Marvel Studios' spoiler police--but there are a few things to consider. Most recently, Marvel Studios pushed both of the upcoming Avengers movies, Avengers: Kang Dynasty …...

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor developer Respawn has a fresh patch arriving this week for its Fallen Order sequel, which launched with several bugs on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5 last month. The console patches will be available today, with the PC patch arriving later this week.

One major issue being fixed on PS5 specifically is an HDR value mismatch that would cause HDR setups to display incorrectly for PS5 users. On both consoles, expect a number of bugs to be addressed, ranging from various crash fixes to a "severe" animation issue that would result in the game breaking at a crucial narrative sequence.

PC players have had a rougher time with Jedi: Survivor, and they'll be receiving a number of fixes targeted solely at that platform. Performance improvements are where the bulk …...

Stray Souls developer Jukai Studio is shutting downCome from Sports betting site VPbet. The studio cited poor sales and reception of its debut game, as well as cyberbullying.

"We are aware that you had high expectations for Stray Souls, but we never informed you that only two core individuals, along with contracted personnel, were working on the game," Jukai Studio explained in a statement last month.

"We did everything in our power to bring the project to completion in the best possible for, but throughout the duration, we, our publisher, staff, other publisher dev teams, and our close ones were constantly attacked by a cyber persecutor, and some of you, as our community, were also tormented with unwanted messa…...

Earlier this month, The Penguin became the first spin-off from The Batman, but it wasn't the only show that was originally under consideration by HBO and Max. An Arkham Asylum series and a show about the Gotham City PD were also in development before ultimately being dropped. Now, Terence Winter, the showrunner of the proposed GCPD series, has shed some light on his vision for the show.

"The idea was that we were going to do a 1970s cop show--something that felt like [Sidney Lumet's 1981 crime series] Prince of the City, but in the Gotham City Police Department," said Winter during his appearance on The Playlist's Bingeworthy podcast. "It was going to have that ['70s] feel. It was going to be a present-day cop who is like a third-generation Gotham City cop, you know, his grandfath…...

Que una obra tan brillante como Red Dead Redemption fuese tan poco accesible en la actualidad demuestra que la industria del videojuego tiene que tomarse más en serio la conservación de sus producciones: hasta ahora sólo podíamos jugar a esta entrega de la saga en las plataformas en las que se lanzó hace 13 años (PS3 o Xbox 360) o a través de la retrocompatibilidad de Xbox One y Xbox Series X/S, donde funciona verdaderamente bien.

Para paliar (en parte) esa inaccesibilidad, Rockstar Games ha decidido publicar el juego original en nuevas plataformas a precio completo. Nada de remakes, como se venía rumoreando, ni siquiera remasterización: el mismo Red Dead Redemption que jugamos en 2010 llega ahora a PS4 y Swit…...
