FIFA 20: Career Mode Changes Announced
One of the most consistent questions asked about each instalment of FIFA is whether Career Mode will be changing. In FIFA 20, we won't be getting an overhaul, but there are some big changes coming along.
In a Pitch Notes update today, EA Sports announced a series of changes to the offline mode, including more customisable managers (including the ability to play as a female manager), game impacting team talks, and changes to effects on players based on performance.
In a press release, EA highlighted five key changes:
- Customisable managers: Gender, body type, skin tone, clothing, and hairstyles can all be managed.
Pokemon Sword and Shield: New Pokemon, Forms and Team Yell Announced
Nintendo has dropped a new trailer for Pokémon Sword and Shield, revealing brand new Pokémon, evolutions, new Galarian forms and a new antagonistic group, Team Yell.
The trailer unveiled new Galarian forms, including a Galarian Weezing sporting two top hats in the shape of industrial chimneys. Meanwhile, Galarian Zigzagoon and Linoone are Dark / Normal type and come equipped with the Abilities Gluttony and Pickup. Galarian Linoone will be able to evolve into the brand new, two-legged Obstagoon, who sports the Abilities Guts and Reckless.
Galar will also play host to a new (although very Pikachu-like) form-changing Pokémon called Morpeko who in "full belly mode" is a delightful Electric / Dark Pokémon, but when "Hangry" becomes a full Dark type. And purple.
One X-Men Character Just Completely Changed Marvel History
Marvel Comics only recently debuted House of X and Powers of X, two interconnected miniseries aimed at radically reshaping the X-Men line. And already the these books are having a huge impact on the past, present and future of the mutant race. House of X #2 introduces one of the biggest X-Men plot twists in years, as Dr. Moira MacTaggert's deepest secrets are finally revealed.
Read on for a full breakdown of this issue and the new revelations about Moira and Charles Xavier. But beware of major spoilers ahead!
Who Is Moira X?
This issue builds on an encounter between Moira and Professor X in last week's Powers of X #1, the same encounter Marvel previously teased as being "the most important scene in X-Men history." Only now do readers learn what Xavier saw when he read Moira's mind. It turns out that Moira - long depicted as being one of the few humans completely loyal to the X-Men - is actually a mutant. Because of her odd, unnatural state of existence, her mutant status has never been detected before. Whenever she dies, Moira is reincarnated in utero, forced to relive her life all over again.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Has A Tamagotchi Kept Alive By Your Kills
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare's multiplayer mode will offer a variety of gear for players to support their battle efforts - including a Tamagotchi that feeds on death.
In case you entered this world after the '90s, Tamagotchis were small wearable devices that contained virtual pets. These toys tasked children with keeping the Tamagotchi alive by feeding it, cleaning it, and keeping it happy - so far, so wholesome.
Developer Infinity Ward decided to implement a version of Tamagotchis in the new Call of Duty as an alternative to the vanilla wristwatch that players can choose to wear in multiplayer. While the ordinary watch will display your real-world time in game, CoD's TomaGUNchis will be directly affected by your kill-death ratio.

Disney+ Developing Home Alone, 3 Other Fox Movies as Streaming Shows
Disney CEO Bob Iger revealed that Home Alone, Night at the Museum, Cheaper by the Dozen, and The Diary of a Wimpy Kid will be developed into Disney+ streaming shows.
As reported by Variety, these "four big brands from Fox" becoming shows will be part of Disney's new plan for the properties it acquired through its merger from Fox.
Iger also said that the Fox film development slate would be scrapped and taken "in a new direction" following a $170 million operating loss for Q3 that was in part due to the lackluster performance of Dark Phoenix.
DuckTales: Remastered Being Pulled from Digital Storefronts This Week
DuckTales: Remastered will be pulled from digital storefronts beginning on August 8, 2019, although those who own the game will still be able to access and play it.
While Capcom gave no reason for this removal, it most likely has something to do with licensing issues as DuckTales is a Disney property.
For the final few days of its availability, DuckTales: Remastered will be "75% off most platforms before it gets removed for purchase." The platforms and removal times are below;
- Wii U - August 9, 4:59pm PT/7:59pm ET
Disney Blames Dark Phoenix, Fox Films for Q3 Losses
Thanks to the box office performance of Avengers: Endgame, Captain Marvel, and Toy Story this past fiscal quarter, Disney saw its revenue increase by 33% year-over-year to $20.25 billion. Analysts, however, reportedly expected earnings to be over $21 billion.
So despite their stellar box office success -- the studio has already set a box office milestone for 2019 and they still have Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and Frozen 2 on the way -- Disney nevertheless posted lackluster results for the year's fiscal third quarter, which saw Disney stocks slide more than 4%.
