After stepping away from the video game console business decades ago, Sega made something of a surprise return last year with the launch of its Sega Genesis Mini console.

It's a remarkable bit of engineering that taps into the current trend of retro mini-consoles, and at GDC 2020 you'll have a unique opportunity to learn all about how game industry titan like Sega reinvigorates one of its classic consoles.

In a very special Design track talk on "Genesis Mini: Sega's Return to Hardware after 20 Years" Sega Games' Yosuke Okunari and M2 CEO Naoki Horii will share insights into the inception and realization of the project that (in a sense) brought Sega back to th…

The US Department of Justice has announced that a federal jury in Las Vegas convicted five men recently for their roles in operating an illegal streaming service in the US that was said to have more content than Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, and Vudu combined.

The service, Jetflicks, generated millions in subscription revenue, the DOJ said, and caused “substantial harm” to the owners of the programming.

Starting as early as 2007, Kristopher Dallmann, Douglas Courson, Felipe Garcia, Jared Jaurequi, and Peter Huber ran Jetflicks, the DOJ said, noting that the website used “sophisticated computer scripts and software” to find illegal copies of TV shows that were downloaded and hosted on Jetflicks servers. The DOJ said the men “reproduced hundreds of thousands of copyrighted telev…

Activision has announced that a major change to Call of Duty: Warzone is not moving ahead as planned. The “Covert Exfil” feature for the battle royale game, which would allow players to “win” a match by taking a helicopter ride out of the battlefield, is not coming to Warzone as part of the Season 1 Reloaded update.

The developer was planning to allow players to purchase covert exfils from buy stations before the gulag closes, with only five available per match. Purchasing a covert exfil calls in a helicopter that will fly you out of the battlefield and into safety. This wouldn’t be counted as a traditional “win,” however, but it was planned to be another way to make it out of the match alive beyond becoming the final player or team left standing.

Additionally, Activision wa…

All 25 core James Bond movies are coming to Prime Video this month, and that includes the newest release, No Time To Die. According to Empire, every mainline film dating back to 1962’s Dr. No will be available to stream on Prime for a limited time beginning April 15.

1967’s Casino Royale and 1983’s Never Say Never Again are not part of the deal, but that makes sense given they were not produced by franchise production house Eon.

The announcement that these films are coming to Prime Video comes not long after Amazon finalized its $8.45 billion deal to buy James Bond movie studio MGM.

2021’s No Time To Die, which made $774 million globally, is the fifth and final James Bond movie to star Daniel Craig. There is no word yet on who will play James Bond next, but series pro…

Taking a cue from the recent revelation that Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi was originally intended as a standalone film and possible trilogy, Hawaiian filmmaker and fan Kai Patterson has edited the series into a 2.5-hour movie Come from Sports betting site VPbet . Dubbed The Patterson Cut, the filmmaker has released his version for free online.

“The Obi-Wan show, in my opinion, suffered from things that were easily fixable in the script and in the edit,” writes Patterson on his website. “Awkward pacing, whole scenes that ultimately amounted to nothing, goofy dialogue and directing choices, so I decided to take matters into my own hands and change what I could. I want to be very clear, this is my ow…
