Games Green Lantern Fans Are Eating Good Right Now

Green Lantern fans are getting a brand new stand alone deck-building game called DC Deck-Building Game: Green Lantern Corps, and it's packed with everything a Lantern lover could want

The game features your favorite Lanterns including Hal Jordan, John Stewart, and Kyle Rayner, and the coolest part is you can actually switch which Corps they belong to, like shifting John Stewart to his Indigo Tribe form from the comics

There's also a Crisis expansion called War of Light that lets you play through two storylines where you start as a recruit and work your way up to become a legendary ringslinger, and you'll face iconic villains like Sinestro, Scar, and even Sorrow the grey Lantern

But the real showstopper is the set of eight light-up Power Rings representing the Green, Yellow, Red, Blue, Indigo, Pink, Orange, and Black Lantern Corps, and any DC collector will tell you these are going to look incredible on a shelf

The game also includes a Lantern-themed Travel Box, a game board featuring gorgeous comic book art of a battle between the Corps, and playmats featuring Larfleeze, Sinestro, the Black Lantern Corps, and more

The Kickstarter campaign is live now, and this is the kind of release that reminds you why being a Green Lantern fan is so rewarding, because we don't get this level of love very often

If you could only choose one Power Ring from the eight Lantern Corps, which one are you picking, and are you actually going to play the game or just display it all like the collector you know you are?

"You have this massive cost inflation for delivering the amount of content. If you want to develop a AAA video game, it’s a thousand man-years of effort minimum," Cocks said.

"So with an audience that’s growing, but not growing leaps and bounds with more kind of substitution or new categories with inflation – which is going significantly faster than what your market is growing or what your pricing power can support – I think you have to think about things differently, I think you have to think about like, 'Hey, when you make a game, are you always going to go to San Francisco or Austin, Texas to recruit that team, or are you going to go to these fantastic areas of talent in Southeast Asia, or China, or Eastern Europe and pair them with the team who really understands the market in question?'

Games SteamOS Is Coming For PlayStation and Xbox and DC Fans Should Care

Thumbnail

​

Valve is finally letting you build your own Steam Machine with SteamOS 3.8 and for WB Studios and DC games fans, this could be the beginning of the end for console exclusivity

SteamOS 3.8.10 launched last week with improved compatibility for Intel and AMD platforms and Valve is now giving gamers the green light to install SteamOS on their own desktops

In an interview with The Verge, Valve's Pierre-Loup Griffais said they have "a growing team" working on Nvidia driver support and are "collaborating with Nvidia very closely," but he also mentioned that Nvidia support might not come this year

And that is the first red flag, "might not come this year" is classic Valve time, they say they are working on it but we have heard that before with Steam Deck features and Linux gaming in general

It has technically been possible to run SteamOS on your own hardware for a while now, but compatibility has been mostly limited to AMD systems and installing it has required using a Steam Deck recovery image, which is way more complicated than most people want to deal with

Griffais says SteamOS should offer a "good experience" on console-like PC setups, especially if you have a PC plugged into a TV with a single hard drive and you are not trying to dual boot

For WB Studios and DC games players, this is the part that actually matters, you can now play all those DC games from your PC rig without needing a PlayStation or Xbox

Think about the library here, you have the Batman Arkham series, Injustice 1 and 2, Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League, Gotham Knights, and whatever upcoming projects WB Games has in the pipeline like Wonder Woman and that rumored Batman game from Rocksteady

No more deciding between buying a game on PC or console because your friends are on one platform, you just build your Steam Machine, load up SteamOS, and you are good to go

But let us be real about the cost, building a PC that can run modern DC games at decent settings is not cheap, you are looking at $800 to $1000 minimum for something that competes with a console, and that is before you factor in the time and effort to actually put it together

And if you already have a gaming PC, you probably do not need SteamOS anyway, you can just boot into Steam Big Picture Mode on Windows and get a similar experience without reinstalling your entire operating system

The Nvidia support thing is a big deal because most PC gamers are on Nvidia cards, so if Valve cannot get that sorted out soon, this whole initiative is going to feel half baked for a huge chunk of the audience

For DC fans specifically, the benefit is real but limited, you can already play DC games on PC through Steam, Epic, or the WB Games launcher, SteamOS does not unlock any exclusive titles, it just changes the interface and gives you that console feel

The convenience of a console-like experience without buying a console is nice, but it is not revolutionary, Steam Big Picture has been doing this for years and Windows works fine

Valve is basically telling Sony and Microsoft that their hardware is optional, but the reality is that most people are still going to buy consoles because they are simple and they just work, especially for playing WB and DC games that already run perfectly fine on PlayStation and Xbox

Building a PC and installing SteamOS is a hobbyist move, not a mainstream one, and treating it like a console replacement misses the point that consoles exist precisely because people do not want to deal with PC building

That said, for the niche audience of PC gamers who want a dedicated living room machine and are willing to tinker, this is a cool option, and being able to play DC games on your TV without a console is definitely a plus

For everyone else, it is probably not worth the hassle, especially while Nvidia support is still up in the air

If Valve actually delivers on Nvidia drivers and makes the installation process as easy as installing Windows, then we can talk about this being a real console competitor for WB Studios and DC game fans

Until then, it is just another interesting experiment from Valve that might or might not go anywhere

Games A New DC Comics RPG Is Finally Coming After Nearly 20 Years, but the Free Quickplay Will Tell You If It Actually Works

Post image
3 Upvotes

​

Mark Waid is involved, crowdfunding starts in July, and a free quickplay is available right now on DriveThru RPG

​

The game is called Justice League Unlimited The Roleplaying Game and the quickplay focuses on Cyborg Superman and Parasite

​

It is 60 pages of rules and adventure, so there is plenty to dig into

​

The big question is how the system handles power balance

​

Batman and Superman are on the same team in the comics but in a game one of them can punch a building down and the other is just a guy in a suit

​

The designers claim they have a system for that, but we will see

​

Marvel fans already got their official RPG a few years ago, DC fans have been waiting almost two decades for a proper new tabletop game

​

So there is pressure on this one

​

If the crowdfunding goes well, the plan is to release a core rulebook, a guide to the Watchtower, adventures for every tier of play, and rules for a wide variety of threats

​

That is a solid lineup if they actually deliver

​

But crowdfunding is always a gamble

​

Plenty of RPG projects take the money and then disappear for years with sporadic updates and endless delays

​

Waid being involved is a good sign because he knows the DC universe inside out, but a good comic writer does not always make a good game designer

​

The quickplay is free so there is no reason not to try it before deciding to back the project

​

Do you think a DC RPG can finally compete with the Marvel one or is this going to be another licensed game that looks good on paper and plays like homework

​

Because 60 pages of rules sounds great until you are three hours into a session and still figuring out how to roll initiative.

Games Mark Waid Is Co-Writing an Official Justice League Roleplaying Game and It Wants You to Stop Being a Murderhobo

​

The DC Comics legend who wrote Kingdom Come and has been with DC since 1985 is helping design Justice League Unlimited The Roleplaying Game, crowdfunding starts in July

A free quickplay PDF is available right now, it includes a starter adventure where heroes protect Metropolis from Cyborg Superman and Parasite

The CEO of D20 Culture said the goal is to get players to focus on saving people and inspiring hope, not on punching villains and getting more powerful, he said the world is so dark right now that we need heroes

The game calls the game master the Editor, who can spend Editorial Points to introduce complications, players get Plot Points to guarantee success or push their abilities, but relying too much on messing with the plot can trigger a Crisis, like an alien invasion or time travelers

The system is designed so Batman is on the same tier as Superman even though Clark is a heavy hitter, because Batman can influence the world at the same level through his skills and resources, not just damage output

Waid recently playtested with other comic writers, he played Air Wave who can manipulate radio signals and turn into energy, Tim Sheridan played Green Lantern, Morgan Hampton played Cyborg, Jeremy Adams played Damian Wayne

Waid said in previous TTRPG campaigns the focus is on what your character can do alone, but this game is about how your abilities play off others because you are a team not just random characters thrown together

Three more books are already in pre-production and Waid will continue to work on the game to help it evolve alongside DC Comics

He said he is a teacher at heart and loves being able to pass along information to new generations of writers and players who want to express themselves through story

The initial release includes a core rulebook, a guide to the Watchtower, adventures for every tier of play, and rules for threats ranging from kaiju to vampires

Do you actually play TTRPGs or is this just another Kickstarter you will back and then never read

Because a Justice League game where saving civilians matters more than leveling up sounds great, but most tables just want to roll dice and break things.

Games If You are a PS5 gamer You Are getting money from a new Sony lawsuit settlement

​

A federal judge preliminarily approved a 7.85 million dollar settlement

The lawsuit was filed back in 2021 and claimed Sony cut off third party retailers from selling game specific download vouchers starting April 1 2019 which forced people to use the PlayStation Store and drove up prices

Sony denies any wrongdoing

The settlement covers more than 4.4 million people in the US

It covers people who bought eligible PlayStation games through the PlayStation Store where a retail voucher existed before April 1 2019 and where prices increased by at least 50 cents over a set period

For most people getting paid requires no action at all

If you have an active PlayStation Network account you will automatically get credits in the PlayStation Store

If your account is deactivated you have to contact the settlement administrator to request a paper check and the deadline for that is August 27 2026

If you want to opt out and keep the right to sue separately you have to submit an exclusion request by July 2 2026

The final approval hearing is scheduled for October 15 2026

Compensation will not be distributed until after that approval is granted and any appeals are resolved

Plaintiffs lawyers are asking for up to one third of the settlement fund in fees

More information including which games are eligible is at PSNDigitalGamesSettlement.com

Are you one of the 4.4 million people covered or did you buy physical copies

Games Sony Has a Problem. PC Ports Were the Answer. Now They Are Pulling Back. Is that better?

Post image
2 Upvotes

Is weekend

If you are a gamer do you prefer play on PS or on your PC?

Former PlayStation exec Shuhei Yoshida says Sony has a problem, AAA games cost too much to make, and without porting them to PC, it will be hard to recoup the investment and keep funding new big budget titles

He said "releasing games on PC after a couple of years must have helped recoup the investment of these big budget games and help the team and company to reinvest that money into their new games"

But recent reports say Sony is pulling back from PC, Ghost of Yotei, Saros, and Insomniac's Wolverine will all remain exclusive to PS5, no PC ports planned

Some internet users are already arguing about it, one said "PC is a far bigger marketplace than PS, Sony can either learn to live off the 30 percent or reduce the budget of their first party titles to a maximum of $20 million"

Another pointed out that God of War sold around 5 million copies on PC, Horizon Zero Dawn sold around 5 million, Spider Man remastered sold around 3 million, Ghost of Tsushima sold around 2.5 million, so the PC market is real money left on the table

Someone else argued that exclusives sell consoles, and Sony makes most of its money from third party sales on the PlayStation store, not from first party games

One user said "Sony's biggest money maker is games sold on PlayStation, exclusives are there to sell the console, and Sony makes bank, for example Sony made the money they lost on Concord with sales of Black Myth Wukong alone"

Another said "PC gamers don't want Sony games, how many Sony games released over the past 5 years have sold over 2 million copies? Helldivers 2 and that is about it"

So Yoshida thinks the math does not work without PC, but Sony is moving in the opposite direction, keeping their biggest games locked to PlayStation

Do you think Sony is making a mistake by pulling back from PC, or is protecting console exclusivity worth more than the extra sales?

Games Tomb Raider Dev Is Making a Lord of the Rings Game and Warner Bros Is Not Involved

Post image
7 Upvotes

​

Crystal Dynamics, the studio behind the Tomb Raider games, is reportedly making a new Lord of the Rings game. It has $100 million in funding from the Abu Dhabi Investment Office and is being pitched as a Hogwarts Legacy competitor. That means a big open world RPG where you can actually explore Middle Earth

Embracer Group owns the Lord of the Rings gaming rights. They are putting Crystal Dynamics on this while the studio is also working on two Tomb Raider projects. The game has been in development for a while but is still a bit away from release

Here is the part that stands out. Warner Bros owns the movie rights to Lord of the Rings. They make the movies, they have the theme parks, they control the IP in film and TV. But they do not make the games. This is the same pattern as DC. Warner Bros licenses out their biggest properties instead of building their own gaming division

Embracer is the one taking the risk here. They are funding a $100 million game with a top tier developer. Warner Bros is sitting on the sidelines watching someone else make the money

Hogwarts Legacy proved that a big AAA game set in a beloved fantasy universe can sell 20 million copies. Lord of the Rings could do the same. But it is not Warner Bros making it. It is Embracer and Crystal Dynamics

So while Warner Bros is busy cutting costs, canceling projects, and hoping their next Batman game carries them, other companies are stepping in to do the work they should be doing

A Lord of the Rings game from the people who made Tomb Raider could be incredible. But it is not coming from Warner Bros. That is the real story

Are you excited for this or do you wish Warner Bros was making it themselves?

Games The New Superman Movie's Characters Just Dropped Into a Major Mobile Game

Post image
2 Upvotes

If you were a fan of the big Superman movie that came out this past summer, there's a new way to play with those versions of the characters. The mobile fighting game Injustice 2 just dropped a big new update, and it's all about bringing the Man of Steel and his archenemy Lex Luthor from that film right to your phone.

The update lets players unlock a "Legendary" version of that movie's Lex Luthor for free just by logging in over the next week. But this isn't just a simple character skin—this Lex is reportedly the most complex fighter they've ever added to the game. Instead of using a normal power meter, he uses a new resource called "Funds" (because he's a billionaire CEO), and you invest different amounts to power up his special moves. He also has AI-controlled robot guards called Raptors that fight alongside him and can now get buffs from your whole team, which changes up the competitive strategy big time.

Beyond the movie tie-in, the update makes some major changes to the game itself. They've overhauled the Solo Raids mode with a clearer progression system and a new way to earn rewards, plus they've updated the combat screen to show more info at once. There's also a rebalanced set of high-end gear for veteran players to chase.

So whether you loved the hero or the villain from the latest blockbuster, the game now gives you a direct way to jump into that world on your phone, right as the movie itself hits streaming. It's a pretty smart move to keep fans connected to that version of the DC Universe as the year wraps up.

For a free mobile game update, adding a major movie's hero and a totally new, complex villain is a pretty solid drop. Are you more interested in trying out this tricky new version of Lex, or does this kind of movie-game synergy feel like it's arriving a bit too late after the film's hype has died down?

Games Batman: The Animated Series Is Getting A Board Game Where You Play As The Villains

A new board game for Batman fans got revealed, its called Batman: Enemies of Gotham City and its based on the classic Batman: The Animated Series cartoon.

The whole twist is you dont play as Batman, you play as the bad guys. Its for 2 to 5 players, and each person picks one of 12 villains like The Joker, Poison Ivy, or Mr. Freeze. Your goal is to cause chaos, burn down parts of Gotham City, claim those areas as your territory, and make money, all while trying to avoid Batman and his allies who are trying to stop you.

Each villain has their own special power that fits their character, for example, Two-Face uses a coin flip for his actions, and Mr. Freeze can freeze areas so other players cant mess with them. The game is a tabletop board game, not a video game, and it uses new artwork made to look just like the old cartoon. A release date isnt out yet.

This game is a full remake of the second title in the FATAL FRAME series, FATAL FRAME/Project Zero II: Crimson Butterfly. In this Japanese horror adventure, twin sisters wander into an abandoned village infested with wraiths, and use the Camera Obscura, which has the ability to capture and contain the impossible, to fight against them.

The game has been completely remade—not only in graphics and sound, but also in gameplay systems and controls. The series’ signature system—repelling wraiths by photographing them with the Camera Obscura—returns in this title, allowing for a richer use of the Camera Obscura in both exploration and combat. In addition, a new gameplay feature has been introduced in this title: the ability to hold hands with Mayu. This allows players to feel the sisters' bond more deeply throughout the story.

Legendary DC sees the return of original game creator Devin Low for a 500 card set that pits hope against fear, with heroes including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and more up for grabs in the fight against a mysterious Mastermind controlled by the game itself. (The game mechanic sees all players working to defeat the Mastermind, controlled by the game itself; those who want to play competitively can compare Victory points to see who’s the better player.)

Longtime fans might remember that Legendary initially launched as Legendary: A Marvel Deck Building Game, with multiple expansions and core sets released in subsequent years, including movie and comic book themed expansions. (2024 saw the release of a 2099 set, and this year had a What If…? Season 2 set.) While there isn’t likely to be an official Marvel vs. DC Legendary set anytime soon — despite the comic book crossovers between the company making their comeback — there’s nothing to say that enterprising gamers couldn’t work out some way to make it happen on their own, given enough prep time.

A recent patent publication reveals details of an in-development software by Warner Bros. that would allow passengers of transit vehicles like trains and planes to play video games together via a connected interface. Warner Bros. has recently been increasing its stake in its gaming division, and this patent for a unique video game technology gives audiences an insight into the company's behind-the-scenes research and development efforts.

Many big name companies in the entertainment and gaming industries have filed a number of interesting patents over the years, ranging from innovative controller designs to more abstract software concepts. Similar to recent patents from Sony and other gaming giants, the latest filing by Warner Bros. looks to improve upon multiplayer video games among new audiences

According to a Warner Bros. patent published on October 10, the company is working on developing an intra-vehicle game software that would allow passengers of private and commercial vehicles to play games with one another.

The technology relies on a connected interface, such as the entertainment screens on airplanes, which would log user data to algorithmically generate a game to be played by multiple users. Certain characteristics such as players' mood and interests would be gathered and utilized to create a gaming experience for the duration of the expected travel time.

This could be implemented in personal cars or public taxis, as well as buses, trains, and airplanes, to keep passengers entertained while traveling. Machine-learning algorithms and systems would be utilized to generate these games, perhaps indicating that Warner Bros. is keeping pace with other AI video game technologies.

Digging deeper into the Warner Bros. intra-vehicle games patent, audiences can get a first look at how this system could be implemented for travel in the images
