News - Project Ethos Is Delightfully Different, But Struggles With Its Identity
The tepid player response to recent big-budget live-service titles has left many fans of the genre--this writer included--wondering which studio would be next to unveil a new live-service shooter in an era that is already oversaturated with them. After the striking failure of Concord, who would be brave enough to step onto the stage and attempt to sell players on their latest live-service creation? Rather unexpectedly, the answer is 2K Games, which revealed its newest title last week. Known as Project Ethos, 2K's new free-to-play title was developed by 31st Union, which describes the game as a "third-person roguelike hero-shooter." If you're wondering what the hell that means, you're not alone, but after attending the game's hands-on preview event and getting a feel for Project Ethos, I'm pretty well-equipped to explain the game's (admittedly somewhat convoluted) premise. 31st Union is the first to admit that the game's concept is a little difficult to describe in a concise manner, declaring in a recent press release, "The best way to learn about Project Ethos is to play it."

News - Alien: Romulus Will Release On VHS, Something No Major Studio Has Done In 18
It's apparently been 18 years since a major studio has released a movie on VHS, but that drought will be broken when Alien: Romulus comes out for the outdated platform on December 3. That's right: An actual tape of the sci-fi horror movie is getting made, though it will be a limited edition. The official Alien account on X shared that Alien: Romulus writer/director Fede Álvarez revealed the special VHS release at Beyond Fest over the weekend. Artist Matt Ferguson has created the cover for the tape, which will come out at the same time as the Alien: Romulus Blu-ray. The previous major studio release on VHS was reportedly A History of Violence in 2006, according to Inverse. 20th Century Studios--now owned by Disney--is behind the Alien: Romulus VHS launch. There apparently is a bit of debate about whether A History of Violence actually was the last big VHS release. Some people point to Eragon (also from 20th Century) in 2007, while Disney apparently put out a Cars VHS. However, both of these runs were arguably quite limited in scope.

News - Call Of Duty Anti-Cheat Was Falsely Banning Legitimate Players, But All Accou
Activision's anti-cheat software, Ricochet, was falsely banning legitimate players, causing a stir in the Call of Duty community as people spoke out about how they were penalized when they did nothing wrong. Activision recently owned up to this, saying only a "small number" of legitimate players were impacted for Modern Warfare III and Warzone, and those who were impacted have had their bans reversed. So what happened here? Activision said players found a workaround in a Ricochet detection system for Modern Warfare III and Warzone that allowed them to target legitimate players. In essence, people found a way to go after people they wanted to see get banned, even if they did nothing wrong. All legitimate accounts that were impacted have been restored, Activision said, going on to further note that it will conduct an "examination of our systems" to try to prevent this from happening again.
