Beloved PlayStation Video Game Getting Movie
The Last Guardian film is in the works
According to video games insider DanielRPK, Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions are making a film adaptation of Fumito Ueda's acclaimed PS4 action-adventure game, The Last Guardian. There are no additional details about the project, which may indicate that the film is in the early stages of development.
Fumito Ueda is an iconic and influential game developer known for the critically acclaimed games Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. His games are known for a distinct style, featuring vast landscapes with gameplay that complements their unique storytelling. In terms of cinematics, a film based on The Last Guardian has the potential to look incredible. How they attempt to tell that tale without the viewer making that connection with Trico, the ginormous dog bird that helps the player move through the ancient ruins, through gameplay will be interesting to see. For those unaware of The Last Guardian, here is a brief description of the game:
'In a strange and mystical land, a young boy discovers a mysterious creature with which he forms a deep, unbreakable bond. The unlikely pair must rely on each other to escape towering, treacherous ruins filled with unknown dangers. Experience the journey of a lifetime in this touching, emotional story of friendship and trust.'
When The Last Guardian launched for PS4 back in 2016, it was met with favorable reviews. According to the review aggregate site Metacritic, it garnered an average score of 82 across 110 critic reviews. In our review, we gave it a 10 out of 10.
As mentioned earlier, PlayStation Productions has released several projects based on its iconic catalog of games. The last film the company released was based on the Supermassive horror adventure game Until Dawn, and is currently available to stream on Netflix. The last television series released was Twisted Metal Season 2, which is currently seven episodes in and is available to stream on Peacock. The company also has Horizon, God of War, and Ghost of Tsushima adaptations in the works.

The Sega Dreamcast Was the ‘What if?' Console
GD-ROMDreamcast1999 – 2001 Photo illustration by The New York Times; Sega Supported by Most Xbox games are also available on the PlayStation these days, and Nintendo has long since stopped trying to compete directly with Sony and Microsoft. But in 2000, the video game console wars were cutthroat, and about to produce their biggest casualty: Sega. The Dreamcast was the earliest entrant in a generation of video game consoles that would eventually include the GameCube, the PlayStation 2 and the original Xbox. The first console with a built-in modem, the Dreamcast was ahead of its time in some ways. But it was behind in others (it could not play DVDs), and by spring 2001, with Sega losing hundreds of millions of dollars a year, it was discontinued. Sega has been out of the console business ever since. To look back at the Dreamcast 25 years later is to see a collection of paths not taken and possibilities deferred. It is an alternate version of what 21st-century gaming might have looked like, had things gone differently. Sega had long defined itself in opposition to Nintendo, presenting itself as the edgier alternative. 'Genesis Does What Nintendon't,' its ads promised in the early 1990s, when its console outsold the Super Nintendo for several years. But its follow-ups, the Sega CD and Sega Saturn, struggled to break through, and by the Dreamcast era, the company was dabbling in the genuinely weird. The Dreamcast's novelty controllers included a motion-sensitive fishing pole and a pair of electronic maracas, and its primary controller incorporated its own oddity: the V.M.U., or Visual Memory Unit, a removable memory card that had its own tiny LCD screen and buttons. When plugged into the controller, the V.M.U. provided each player with a secondary screen. When removed, it functioned as a tiny GameBoy-like hand-held system capable of playing simple games — as if the console were sending spores into the world. Like so many aspects of the Dreamcast, the V.M.U. never quite worked out — too small to use comfortably, too limited to play anything interesting — but it was certainly the most experimental choice in the design of any of that generation's consoles.

Netflix has removed the most brutal film of the last 10 years
Every month, Netflix removes a large selection of movies and TV shows from its library. These titles often feel as if they're taken down without warning; the service only informs you when you scroll through its library and select something that happens to be leaving in the next 30 days. In recent years, Netflix Originals have also found themselves on the departure list – something that has led to plenty of consternation among users who believed these titles would remain on the service for good. Among the films leaving this service this month are the Final Destination and Hunger Games films as well as 2018 film The Nightingale. The psychological thriller, from The Babadook director Jennifer Kent, is a tough watch that isn't for the faint hearted. Set in 1825, The Nightingale follows a young Irish convict (Aisling Franciosi) who seeks vengeance against members of the Colonial forces of Tasmania after unspeakable acts are committed against her. It could very well be the most brutal film of the last 10 years – and led to cinema walkouts due to its graphic portrayal of rape and murder. Kent defended her film after reports of complaints, saying she doesn't believe the violence to be 'gratuitous or exploitative'. Meanwhile, the TV show that will leave the biggest absence after its Netflix departure is US drama Lost. Beginning in 2004, Lost – which followed survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 – became the biggest cult show on the planet, generating intense fan discussion and theories on the internet throughout its six seasons on air. The show is regularly listed on polls ranking the best TV shows of all time, with Empire. EW, Time and Variety all opting to include Lost. Lost celebrated its 20th anniversary in September 2024 and has recently had a resurgence thanks to its arrival on Netflix.
