‘The Expanse' Does a ‘Mass Effect' With New Game ‘Osiris Reborn'
Developed by Owlcat Games and set during the show's first two and a half seasons (and featuring some returning cast members reprising their TV roles), Osiris puts players in the boots of a Pinkwater mercenary enjoying shore leave on Eros Station. After things go to hell, the merc gets caught up takes a ship and puts a team together to uncover a system-wide conspiracy. Your merc, or the Captain, has three backgrounds to choose from (Earther, Martian, or Belter), different abilities depending on their class, and is playable in a third-person perspective while issuing squad commands to two teammates in combat. Sound familiar?
Yeah, Osiris Reborn sounds pretty Mass Effect, something design producer Yuliya Chernenko admitted in an IGN interview. Much of the Owlcat team first played BioWare's RPG franchise when they were young, and it 'left a lasting impression. We're building on that legacy and expanding what players on what players anticipate from this experience.'
Despite the comparisons, creative director Alexander Mishulin went on to stress this would be would be an Owlcat title through and through, with 'more choices and…more focused on a modern approach where you can make your own playstyle, make your own experience through the game.' He considers The Expense a 'perfect universe' to bring the studio's ideas for a sci-fi action-RPG to life, calling its world 'grounded in realism and complexity, perfect for telling a story how we like — mature and character-driven, where your choices truly matter.'
If this sounds cool to you, The Expanse: Osiris Reborn is 'coming soon' to PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.

Ryan Walters' TV may have been tuned into 1985 Jackie Chan movie, Oklahoma lawmaker says
Oklahoma House Speaker Kyle Hilbert says he believes a 1985 movie starring Jackie Chan might have been what was showing on a television set in state schools Superintendent Ryan Walters during a closed session held as part of last month's state Board of Education meeting. Hilbert said on Tuesday, Aug. 5 that he believes "The Protector" was on the TV when two board members said they saw nude women on the screen. Their reports have gained national attention and prompted an investigation by the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office. Hilbert said he does not believe the movie was shown on purpose by Walters or his staff or as part of a conspiracy to target him. "In my opinion, the most plausible explanation for what occurred that day is that the television, which had only been in the superintendent's office for fewer than two months, automatically launched Samsung's free streaming service and began playing a film that contained explicit content, without anyone in the room realizing it at the time," Hilbert said. The sheriff's office confirmed its investigation of the incident is ongoing. (This story is developing and will be updated.)
