Red Dead Redemption 2 Rewrites the Open-World Rules
It’s been five years since Rockstar’s last magnum opus, the Hall-of-Fame-worthy Grand Theft Auto 5 released in 2013, and eight since it made the video game Western viable again with 2010’s Red Dead Redemption. On October 26, Rockstar will make you wait a tad longer to see its next attempt at pushing the open-world genre forward by rolling the opening credits on Red Dead Redemption 2 against a backdrop of a hellish high-mountain snowstorm.
“Nobody’s following us through a storm like this one!” bellows Dutch, the leader of the 20-odd-person Van der Linde gang as they take shelter in a mountaintop camp, evading the pursuers who’ve run them out of the prosperous American West in 1899 following a disastrous job in Blackwater. And so it falls to Dutch and your own Arthur Morgan to venture out into the Grizzly Mountain wilds to find food for the physically and mentally run-down group. “Get yourselves warm,” Dutch tells them. Stay strong. Stay with me. We ain’t done yet!”

Wonder Woman’s Next Threat? A Supervillain Pickup Artist
Wonder Woman's long history is rife with formidable foes, but in the world of DC's Earth One graphic novel line, even the most dated of them can be reinvented into something truly timely and even more horrific. This is exactly what creator Grant Morrison did alongside his collaborator Yanick Paquette for the second volume of their alternate universe Wonder Woman: Earth One series with an all-new take on the 1940s villain Doctor Psycho. By flipping the script on his original 1940s incarnation, Morrison and Paquette have taken Doctor Psycho from campy vintage hypnotist to modern day "pickup artist."
The "pickup artist" or PUA community in the real world is a group of men who believe they can subliminally suggest ideas to women using scripts and other "mind control" tactics to make them more compliant, usually aiming for some sort of sexual or romantic favor. Dr. Psycho's new angle was inspired by a combination of real-world sources, according to Morrison, who spoke to IGN along with a small group of reporters at a press event. "I was looking towards the modern version of the

Aquaman Figure Brings the Classic Costume to Life
New York Comic-Con is upon us this week, and we've already got a cool exclusive to share with you: a close-up look at the movie version of Aquaman's classic costume, as represented by an upcoming Sideshow Collectibles Premium Format Figure.
Warner Bros. Consumer Products and DC Entertainment, in partnership with Sidehow, announced the Aquaman Premium Format Figure this week, and now IGN has a first look at the piece. Scaled at 1:4 and approximately 23" tall, the figure represents the Jason Momoa version of Arthur Curry/Aquaman in the character's original green and yellow suit. Fans who attended the Warner Bros. panel at San Diego Comic-Con last summer caught a glimpse of this costume in footage screened, to date, only at that convention. Whereas the Momoa version of Aquaman wore a different suit in his previous DCEU appearances, his solo movie will at least partially feature his classic look.
