Above we have the release date trailer that has debuted onto the official Netflix YouTube Channel. The trailer is more of a teaser if anything, and shows that the Robinson's (as per usual) will have a lot of problems on their hands, e.g finding Robot.

The original season for Lost in Space was once Netflix's hallmark show, as it managed to capture 6.3 million US viewers within its first three days of release. That means that the new season should both cater to the old audience who is looking to continue story, as well as brand new viewers. Lost in Space season 2 will arrive exclusively on Netflix on December 24th.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint's time-saving microtransactions removed for now

Ubisoft removes Ghost Recon Breakpoint's time-saving microtransactions from the in-game store, but they'll be back.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint's time-saving microtransactions removed for now

The new Ghost Recon game lets players pay money to boost skills, upgrade weapons, grab crafting materials, and unlock blueprints faster via time-saver microtransactions. The monetization got a lot of heat from critics, but gamers say the progression isn't too bad and there's really no reason to buy into mTX. But interestingly enough, the time-saving purchases have been yanked from the storefront for balance reasons.

It turns out Ubisoft didn't mean to switch them on just yet. Ultimate edition owners who got first crack at the game technically had an unfair advantage because they could not only play the game sooner, but pay money to unlock more quick goodies.

Geno teed up for next Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC fighter, leak

Jak Connor | Gaming | Oct 5, 2019 3:49 AM CDT

We are back yet again with another Super Smash Bros. Ultimate fighter leak, its time to put your speculation hats on and take the information below with a grain of scepticism.

Geno teed up for next Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC fighter, leak

Above we have an overview video of the leak from Super Smash Bros. legend ZeRo, so you want the full breakdown in video form be sure to watch that. Moving on, this leak comes from WeaverSerawl who also called that the Grinch leak was fake and that Banjo-Kazooie would arrive in the fighters pass.

With that being said, Weaver says that Geno will be the 5th character in the Fighters Pass (after Terry Bogard) and will arrive with two songs. According to Weaver, these songs will be playable on both Mario and Geno's stages. As for post-Fighters Pass content, Weaver says that players will receive characters that "won't turn as many heads" due to the budget for development not being as big as the first Fighters Pass.

Ever since the first movie in the MCU, we've all wanted to see an Iron Man game made for VR -- and now we're getting our chance.

It's official: Superman is faster than the Flash

Anthony Garreffa | TV, Movies & Home Theatre | Oct 4, 2019 9:11 PM CDT

One of the largest fights between comic book fans and in particular, Superman and Flash fans... is who is faster in a race? Now we know -- Superman.

It's official: Superman is faster than the Flash

Kal-El and The Flash race in Superman: Up in the Sky #4 (which is on sale now) with DC officially tackling the question of who is faster. This isn't the first time the two heroes have raced each other, as they first battled it out on the track in 1967 in Superman #199, racing twice and tieing in both races. This time? Superman comes out on top.

Since then The Flash has normally been able to out-pace Superman, especially when he pushes himself to his absolute limits. But in the latest race, Superman collects himself and when pushed, demolishes the Flash.

Another day, another gorgeous 4K screenshot of Cyberpunk 2077

Anthony Garreffa | Gaming | Oct 4, 2019 8:23 PM CDT

CD Projekt Red really is using the 'drip, drip, drip' method of hyping Cyberpunk 2077 as I said in my previous article covering a single new screenshot... and today, we have yet another single screenshot of the upcoming game.

Another day, another gorgeous 4K screenshot of Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk 2077's latest screenshot is in the glorious 4K resolution, showing off another location in the expansive world of Night City. In this screenshot we can see the gorgeous particle effects that CDPR has inked into Cyberpunk 2077, which is oozing with style and the best that graphics can offer.

The next time Cyberpunk 2077 will be shown is at EGX Berlin next month, where we should hopefully see more on the game -- at least more so than E3 20219 and Gamescom 2019 over the recent months.

Detroit: Become Human has sold 3.2 million copies on the PS4

Anthony Garreffa | Gaming | Oct 4, 2019 7:45 PM CDT

Detroit: Become Human isn't far from launching on the PC, and just before it does the team at Quantic Dream are popping champagne after the announcement that it has sold over 3 million units on the PS4 worldwide.

Detroit: Become Human has sold 3.2 million copies on the PS4

Quantic Dream took to their official Twitter account to announce the news, tweeting: "We are delighted to announce that Detroit: Become Human has now sold in excess of 3 million units on PS4 worldwide".

The game will be launching on the PC imminently, as an exclusive to the Epic Games Store. I wouldn't expect sales to double for a few reasons (Epic Game Store exclusivity being one of them) but we should expect another 500K-1M sales on top from PC gamers jumping into the world of Detroit: Become Human.

Breath of the Wild 2 sure looks great as a Nintendo 64 game

Derek Strickland | Gaming | Oct 4, 2019 6:16 PM CDT

What if Breath of the Wild 2 came out in 1998 as a Nintendo 64 game, complete with lower-res polygons and that distinct popping color scheme? Then we'd have this awesome trailer.

Breath of the Wild 2 sure looks great as a Nintendo 64 game

Put on your nostalgia goggles. It's time to take a trip to the past, an age where the Hero of Time conquered Nintendo's strange console with its three-pronged controllers and 64-bits ruled everything. It's 1998, the Nintendo 64 ushered in new joys of a 3D polygonal era, and everybody was talking about Zelda again. But what if things were different? What if Breath of the Wild, or its upcoming sequel, didn't come to Switch and instead rolled out on the N64? Hmm.

Talented animator The Regressor decided to answer our query by recreating the Breath of the Wild 2 announcement trailer with N64 graphics. The result is old-school magic at its finest. Click here to watch both trailers side-by-side.

Red Dead Redemption 2 will come to Stadia before Steam

Derek Strickland | Gaming | Oct 4, 2019 4:28 PM CDT

Red Dead Redemption 2 will be out on Google's game-streaming Stadia service before it comes to Steam.

Red Dead Redemption 2 will come to Stadia before Steam

Rockstar Games today confirmed Red Dead Redemption 2 is coming to PC this November, but only to certain platforms. The timeline is staggered and Steam is last in line. The Wild West magnum opus is coming first to the Epic Games Store and the Rockstar Launcher on November 5, and will also be a launch title on Google Stadia. It's coming to Steam a month later in December.

So why's this so important? It shows Take-Two's and Rockstar's confidence in Stadia, or at the very least, their willingness to experiment on the platform. The service will effectively allow gamers to play RDR2 without owning a console or a PC, instead beaming the game right into living rooms via a Chromecast Ultra. It's a big move to put one of Rockstar's most popular games onto a streaming service, and RDR2 on Stadia could end up selling big thanks to the platform's accessibility.
