OTT? Nah. Remember the original trailer for Pokémon Go? Well if not, go ahead and refresh yourself, it’s right above. Released on 10th September 2015, it ended with a pretty ambitious fantasy in which a whole bunch of players descended onto Times Square, New York to take on Mewtwo. Well, it’s a fantasy no more….
Xbox’s ‘reset’ layoffs have hit Bethesda hard, with long-term institutional talent shown the door—Zenimax Online Studios, which is part of the same studio family as Bethesda and works on the Elder Scrolls Online, was also particularly dismantled by Xbox, with over 60% of its staff laid off in the past year.

Although the developer Rogue Factor has been “working…
Judging by the consistent quality of recent movies and television shows, it’s clear that we’re in a golden age of video game adaptations right now, but decades ago, truly good video game movies were an exception to the rule.
