Robert Kirkman Confirms Invincible Animated Series Will Be “A Very Mature Show”

During IGN’s Extended Sneak Peek at Invincible, creator Robert Kirkman confirmed the upcoming Amazon Prime Video series will not be taking a family-friendly approach.

I didn’t truly know what to expect from Stonefly, even after having played and enjoyed Flight School Studio’s last game, the pinball action title Creature in the Well. The hands-off demo we saw opened on a splash screen filled with foliage, greens, reds, and browns filling the screen, with a small, mech-like device perched on a tree branch. From there, jumping into the action – which sees protagonist Annika on a Ferris Bueller-style hunt to retrieve her dad’s lost mech (which she herself lost) – the colorful, soothing, and charming world of Stonefly unfurled, promising an adventure that looks to be full of heart and unique combat. Much like its developer’s last game, boiling Stonefly down to a buzzword genre or two doesn’t quite do justice to everything going on here, and I’m fascinated by the brief glimpse into this new world. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/02/26/stonefly-announcement-trailer"]

What Is Stonefly?

Taking on the role of inventor Annika, one of several Borrowers-sized humans in a forest world, players will go on a journey to recover her dad’s lost mech, but in doing so will explore the wider Maple Canopy, gliding from one branch or leaf’s edge to the next, harvesting minerals and learning more about the wider cast and Annika’s place in the world, in an adventure coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X and S, Nintendo Switch, and PC this summer. What that translates to in actual gameplay terms, as evidenced by the extended hands-off demo I saw, is gameplay both in and out of Annika’s mech. While I only glimpsed just a bit of Annika walking around on her own, members of the development team explained how players will have the chance to interact with other members of their camp, walking around, chatting with other characters, and working on Annika’s mech to customize it (more on that in a bit). These on-foot sections definitely don’t appear to be the majority of the game, but players will need to sleep and progress the days of the story forward to keep pushing the narrative onward. The camp sections don’t seem like a huge leap from what Flight School did with Creature in the Well, where players could go to a boarded-up town to take a breather from the main campaign, upgrade, and more. Annika’s camp will do the same, letting you craft an upgrade or learn a new ability, but I always appreciate a story that lets you experience the world at your pace and have a location or setting to ground you as that all progresses. The small teases we get into Annika’s brilliant inventor mind (which extend to the rest of the game, as Annika thinks aloud to herself, represented onscreen though sadly not in voiceover, about new inventions and more as she explores), and the group around her left me immediately curious to know more about their lives. That’s in large part thanks to the story’s setup and how it’s married to the art style, creating an almost Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli-esque setting with plenty of potential while still remaining rooted in something relatable. Because while Annika’s realistic problems surrounding family, her legacy, and more are easy to recognize in our own lives, the rest of Stonefly dives right into the delightfully fantastic. Players will have their own crappy-at-first mech to spruce up, customizing it with new legs, a hull, and its color scheme, that they take out into the world, exploring, collecting minerals, and contending with the many bugs in their way.

Mech in the Wind

Stonefly’s isometric camera gives players a pretty sizeable view of the environment, as at any given time you might be trying to make a tricky hop from one area to the next, fending off - non-lethally - bugs that are greedily trying to take the minerals you need, and generally exploring the world. During my hands-off demo, Flight School explained they would expect players to probably spend about 95% of their time in the mech airborne, as you’re faster and more agile for both combat and exploration. The developers even described the mech’s jump as less of a jump and more of a bounce, giving some sense of weight and heft to the small but sturdy mech in an otherwise large world. Your mech will have a host of different abilities it can use, showcased in the lower right-hand corner, as contending with the many bug enemies will require some strategy. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=stonefly-announcement-screenshots&captions=true"] You’re never killing the bugs you interact with, much like Marvel’s Spider-Man never sees the webhead kill any of the thugs he beats up and webs to buildings. You’re instead trying to knock them away or off of whatever platform you’re on, as the precious minerals you’ll want to collect first are essentially Stonefly’s currency to help you earn upgrades. There are about a dozen bug species, each requiring different strategies to overtake - I witnessed small bugs the player could easily shoo away, while other bugs needed first to be flipped over, as their study exterior prevented the player from knocking them back. But however you’re approaching bugs or environmental challenges, wind will play a significant part of the journey. Stonefly’s levels are a bit more open and less defined to offer players some freedom in exploring the natural environments, but if you ever lose your way, you can call on a series of tracking flies to guide you, similar to the guiding winds in Ghost of Tsushima. You’ll also use wind to reach new locations, and based on the combat I saw, much of your mech’s abilities are tied somewhat to the force and momentum needed to push and knock enemies away. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/09/06/creature-in-the-well-launch-trailer"] There certainly seems to be depth there, too - not just in the different approaches needed for the variety of enemy types, but also for the volume of foes you might be facing at any one time. I witnessed both smaller bouts and swarms of enemies, and it’s clear you’ll have to learn some smart crowd control if you want to make off with as much of each mineral horde as possible. The developers also teased that there will be some higher-risk, difficult missions with limited time to explore as well via a look at the game’s beautiful map, which is something Annika draws and adds to herself as the 10-ish hour journey goes on. And while I’m eager to see how deep the abilities and upgrades allow the combat to go, I came away most impressed by my first look at Stonefly thanks to its startling visuals and imaginative world design. There’s a beautiful use of color inspired by the mid-century modern designer Charley Harper, and sharp geometric shapes create a fascinating blend of 3D worlds with a touch of 2D flair. There’s something simultaneously welcoming and familiar yet strange and mysterious about Stonefly’s world. Taking something everyday like the trees and foliage around us, zooming in on a microscale to give those familiar elements a sense of scale and scope, and setting a human story in this fantastic world left me fascinated by what’s waiting to be discovered. The world seems brimming with possibility, a new delightful surprise hiding behind each leaf in the corners of the screen.

Update It's baaaaack. The extremely popular 50% off deal went away when CBS All Access turned into Paramount+, but now it's available again with a new coupon code. All you have to do is sign up for a year and enter the coupon code YEAR at checkout. You can get it here. If you're looking to add another monthly streaming service to your dossier, you've no doubt heard about Paramount+, the newest major network to enter the streaming fray. But what, exactly, is Paramount+ and what's its relationship to CBS All Access? Read on to unravel the mystery.

How Do I Sign Up for Paramount+?

[poilib element="commerceDeal" parameters="slug=paramount-plus-sign-up-deal"] Right now you can sign up for Paramount+ and save 50% off an annual subscription (normally $59.99). The plan with ads is normally $59.99, and the ad-free plan is $99.99 a year, so chopping those figures in half is a pretty sweet deal. Plus you get your first 7 days for free. When you get to the subscription page, make sure to click on the "Save 15% with an annual membership" to change the monthly to yearly rates. After that, enter the coupon code YEAR in the box to knock 50% off the subscription.

What Is Paramount+?

OK, so remember CBS All Access? Well, the simplified version is Paramount+ is basically CBS All Access with a new name. The slightly more advanced version is Paramount+ folded all of CBS All Access' content into the new service and added more shows and movies, as well as live sports and news, so it earned its "plus" rating. According to the Paramount+ FAQ, the new service adds "exclusive new original series," along with "thousands of additional episodes from CBS, BET, Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon and Smithsonian Channel," and also promises "hundreds of movies from Paramount Pictures." So there's a lot of new stuff, for sure. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/02/24/halo-tv-series-will-debut-on-streaming-service"]

How Much Does Paramount+ Cost?

If you want Paramount+ with ad-supported content, it's $5.99 a month or $59.99 for a full year. If you'd rather not watch commercials, you can sign up for ad-free Paramount+ for $99.99 a year. If you sign up now, you can save 50% off an annual subscription by using coupon code YEAR, which is pretty sweet.

If I Have Paramount+ With Ads, Can I Upgrade?

Yeah totally. As long as you have a Paramount+ account, monthly or annual, you can upgrade your plan to whatever fits your needs. However, the sign-up page warns trial subscribers will forfeit any time they have left on their 7-day free trial, so it's best to maximize your value by waiting that one out.

Every Movie and TV Series Coming to Paramount+

For my money, it doesn't get much better than an all-new Beavis and Butthead movie, but there are plenty of other newly-announced shows coming to Paramount+. Mission Impossible 7, A Quiet Place 2, a Workaholics movie, a new Reno 911 special and more were recently announced for Paramount+. The Halo TV series is moving from Showtime to Paramount+, and there's also a Frasier revival in the works and a weird-looking Rugrats reboot. For a list of everything coming to Paramount+ at launch and in the future, check out the gallery below: [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-exclusive-movie-and-tv-series-coming-to-paramount&captions=true"]

What Devices Work With Paramount+?

Here are the list of supported devices, via the Paramount+ FAQ:

• Apple TV
• iPhone and iPad
• Android TV
• Android phone and tablet
• Chromecast
• Fire TV
• Portal TV
• PlayStation 4
• Samsung TV
• Vizio TV

UPDATE: originally the article said CBS All Access was $5.99 a week, when it's actually $5.99 a month. The article has been updated with this correction. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Seth Macy is IGN's Executive Editor, IGN Commerce, and just wants to be your friend.

Batman is returning to the world of Fortnite, and he's bringing Catwoman and Harley Quinn along for the ride. This latest collaboration between DC and Epic Games is dubbed Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point. But while this isn't the Dark Knight's first dalliance with Fortnite, this crossover is unique in that it's primarily driven by a comic book tie-in. Naturally, there will also be new Batman-themed costumes and items coming to the game. [caption id="attachment_2479303" align="aligncenter" width="3818"] Harley Quinn's DC Rebirth costume is the first of several new items and skins being added to Fortnite. (Image Credit: Epic Games)[/caption] Zero Point is a six-issue limited series scripted by Christos Gage (Spider-Geddon), based on a concept and story consultation from Epic's Chief Creative Officer Donald Mustard. The series features art from Reilly Brown, Christian Duce, Nelson DeCastro and John Kalisz. Zero Point brings the Dark Knight and other DC icons like Catwoman and Harley Quinn crashing into the Fortnite universe, with Batman struggling to remember who he is and where he came from and solve the mystery of the Zero Point. The series will be in-canon with the Fortnite universe and add new layers to the game's mythology. DC's press release teases, "As [Batman] fights to recall his past and escape an endless loop of chaos and struggle, he’ll come face-to-face with the likes of Renegade Raider, Fishstick, Bandolier, and more. While the world's greatest detective strives to make sense of this strange new world, he’ll uncover the shocking truth about the Island, what lies beyond the Loop, and how everything is connected to the mysterious Zero Point." Each issue of Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point will be released day-and-date in print and digital formats, but Fortnite fans will have special incentive to buy the print versions. Each print issue will include a DLC code for a Batman-themed item or costume to use in Fortnite, with the first being a DC Rebirth Harley Quinn costume. Collecting all six codes will allow players to unlock an exclusive "Armored Batman Zero" skin. So yes, you can finally be Batman again in Fortnite, but that privilege requires a certain level of commitment. Alternatively, Zero Point will also be free to read for subscribers of the DC Universe Infinite service, along with the DLC codes. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=batmanfortnite-zero-point-1-preview&captions=true"] “When DC first approached me about doing a Batman/Fortnite series I thought it would be a lot of fun,” said Gage in DC's press release. ”After speaking with Donald [Mustard] and discovering just how deeply we'd be diving into the secrets behind the world of Fortnite, I was amazed! This series will reveal things about Fortnite that have never been seen or heard before yet are very much part of the canon of the game.” “I’m also looking forward to integrating other DC Super Heroes into the series, characters that Batman has existing relations with,” Gage continued. “It’ll be exciting to share with fans how these relationships will be reshaped in this new world. The art by Reilly, Christian, Nelson, and John is stunning, and my prediction is that this series will blow everybody’s mind, whether you’re a fan of DC, Batman or Fortnite.” Each issue of Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point is priced at $4.99 for the standard cover and $5.99 for the cardstock variant cover. The series will debut on Tuesday, April 20, with new issues shipping twice-monthly until the finale on July 6. Batman isn't the only DC hero putting in an appearance in Fortnite this year. Epic recently added a Flash skin modeled after the Arrowverse TV series. The game is also bringing in Ellen Ripley and the Alien Xenomorph. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/02/26/fortnite-ripley-and-alien-xenomorph-trailer"] Previously in 2020, Epic collaborated with Marvel Comics to bring Thor, Wolverine and other playable Marvel heroes into Fortnite: Season 2, Chapter 4. That crossover also had a comic book tie-in in Fortnite X Marvel: Nexus War - Thor #1, though that issue was framed a standalone prelude to the in-game content. Funnily enough, this shared Fortnite connection is the closest thing to a Marvel/DC crossover we've seen in almost 20 years. The two publishers haven't collaborated on a crossover together since 2003's JLA/Avengers, though the final issue of DC's Watchmen sequel Doomsday Clock offers some hope that'll change one day.

District 9 director Neill Blomkamp has revealed that work is now underway on the District 10 screenplay. Blomkamp announced on Twitter that he had reteamed with his District 9 partners Sharlto Copley and Terri Tatchell to write the screenplay for District 10, the long-awaited follow-up to his sci-fi action movie, District 9, which opened in 2009 to critical acclaim. He told his followers: "District 10 screenplay also being written by @sharlto (Sharlto Copley) @territachell (Terri Tatchell) and I. It's [sic] coming..."

District 10 screenplay also being written by @sharlto @territatchell and I. Its coming...

— Neill Blomkamp (@NeillBlomkamp) February 26, 2021

District 10 has been rumored and speculated about for years, but up until now, Blomkamp has seemingly prioritized other projects. In 2013, Blomkamp told IGN that he had a great idea for the District 9 follow-up but he had a bunch of other "ideas and stuff" that he wanted to make first. He provided a further update in 2017, telling IGN that he needed to "find the right time" to work on the sequel. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-25-best-sci-fi-movies&captions=true"] In recent years, Blomkamp has helmed various horror shorts under his Oats Studios banner. The studio's first short was an alien invasion aftermath tale called "Rakka," the second was "Firebase," which introduced viewers to a wild alternate-history take on the Vietnam War, and the third was "Zygote," a sci-fi horror thriller starring Dakota Fanning and Jose Pablo Cantillo. Blomkamp has also been keeping busy during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Last summer, he filmed an "under-the-radar" supernatural horror movie in British Columbia (with on-set COVID-19 protocols in place). The movie is said to be something that Blomkamp has always wanted to make, and will reportedly have a "strong sci-fi and VFX component" like his other feature-length movies.

We awarded Final Fantasy 7 Remake an 8/10 review, saying that it "delivered on letting me relive (part of) a classic in stupendous fashion, while also standing as a great RPG all its own." While this PS4 version won't upgrade to the shiny new version later this year, it is of course compatible with PS5. Maquette is a PS5 recursive puzzler from Graceful Decay and Annapurna Interactive, and will make its debut on PS Plus. The game stars Bryce Dallas Howard and Seth Gabel playing romantic couple Kenzie and Michael, who are characters that will guide players through the game but won't be "explicitly seen on screen." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/04/06/final-fantasy-7-remake-review"] Remnant: From the Ashes is a Dark Souls-inspired shooter that we awarded an 8/10 review, calling it "a co-op action-RPG that's punishing and grotesque, but exciting and beautiful all at the same time." Farpoint VR earned itself a 7.5/10 review, as we said, "fantastic gunplay and freedom of movement sets PSVR's Farpoint apart from most VR shooting galleries." You have until March 1 to claim two of February's free PS Plus games, Control: Ultimate Edition, and Concrete Genie, but you can grab Destruction All-Stars for free until April 5.

This review contains spoilers for Marvel's WandaVision episode 8, now available to view on Disney+. To remind yourself of where we left off, check out our WandaVision episode 7 review. [poilib element="accentDivider"] With the finale in sight and the big Agatha Harkness reveal dropped at the end of its last chapter, you’d expect WandaVision to ramp up the pace for its penultimate episode. Instead it does the very opposite; episode 8 is an exercise in taking stock. It’s a series of flashbacks that feels akin to pre-flight checks, ensuring the audience is fully informed before heading into the show’s final take-off. There are a few fun twists to be found, as well as some emotional value, but for anyone fully invested in both WandaVision and the MCU, it feels like the brakes have been applied when it should have been the accelerator. It should be pointed out that episode 8’s most important reveal comes not as part of the main show, but in a mid-credits scene. It turns out Hayward was lying back in episode 5 about Wanda having stolen Vision’s corpse. Instead, he has rebuilt Vision - a nod to the White Vision from the comics - and has activated him using the Hex’s energy. This means Hayward has broken the Sokovia Accords’ rules, should you need any more evidence that Hayward is as corrupt as they come. This all presumably paves the way for some kind of zombie Vision vs clone Vision showdown in the finale. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=wandavision-all-the-marvel-and-tv-easter-eggs-in-every-episode&captions=true"] A reveal as large as that is unfortunately relegated to a post-credits due to this week’s structure, which takes place almost entirely in Wanda’s memories, and so there’s no natural room for a detour to SWORD’s base. This design, which walks viewers through key moments of Wanda’s life, acts as a catch-up on her origin story so far. For anyone invested in the MCU, this is largely an exercise in watching stuff you already know, and even those who have only seen WandaVision will have pieced together these events thanks to expository dialogue in earlier episodes. That’s not to say there’s no merit in these scenes; their key value to fans comes in their emotional weight, and how they contextualise the sitcom elements with Wanda’s childhood love of imported American DVDs. But, for much of the episode, it does feel like we’re doing revision for our final WandaVision exam, rather than learning a whole lot of new topics. Where we do learn new things is with Agatha Harkness, although it may be that Marvel overstated her impact in the last episode by suggesting it was Agatha all along. Yes, she’s definitely been up to no good, but Agatha is almost entirely in the dark about Wanda’s power, rather than being the manipulator behind it. This does neatly position her as a sort of investigator for the episode, working as a guide for the audience’s thought process as she interrogates Wanda from memory to memory, attempting to discover the root of her power. Power which, by the end of the episode, Agatha has determined is Chaos Magic. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/02/21/wandavision-episode-7-the-real-villain-finally-revealed-mcu-canon-fodder"] With that discovery, Agatha proclaims Wanda as The Scarlet Witch, suggesting that in the MCU the title is some kind of prophecy or lineage for witches. It’s an interesting spin on inserting Wanda’s superhero name into the show, and the whole episode helps establish that this is who she was destined to be from birth, rather than via experimentation. The scene in Hydra’s lab, in which Wanda sees a vision of herself within the Mind Stone dressed in the classic Scarlet Witch costume, was a particularly strong method of adding a feeling of legend and weight to her story. It is, though, another reveal that really only works with the benefit of comic book knowledge. There’s nothing in the episode to contextualize Chaos Magic and its sinister comic origins, nor really demonstrate how Agatha has come to identify it. Still, it’s clear that Agatha wants to at least interfere with what Wanda has, and will cruelly hold her children hostage to meet that goal. This positions Wanda between the two enemies of Agatha and SWORD for the finale, which will hopefully provide some entertaining results. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=agatha-harkness-wandavisions-other-marvel-witch-explained&captions=true"] Episode 8 certainly has its flaws, then, but there are enough components that worked to prevent itself from feeling truly unnecessary. This largely comes from Elizabeth Olsen herself, who provides a sense of heft to the episode’s emotional sequences. As ever in the MCU, it's in the fleeting, quieter moments that we see the heroes’ most interesting character traits, and for episode 8 that comes in the flashback to Wanda and Vision at the Avengers HQ. Here we see that it’s not just Vision’s death that has caused all this grief, but a life of accumulating tragedy that has “drowned” her. Olsen really conveys Wanda’s exhaustion here, and is wonderfully matched by Paul Bettany, who’s back in classic Vision mode for a lovely tender moment. Wanda’s visit to SWORD’s headquarters to reclaim Vision also showed a new perspective; Hayward’s lies had convinced us that she’d stolen Vision’s body in rage, but the truth is much gentler than that. Seeing what SWORD had done, Wanda’s depression spirals deeper rather than manifests into violence, further emphasising the sad tragedy of the story. The sequence in which Wanda arrives in Westview for the first time, and opens Vision’s heart-signed property deed for the land, is sure to wrench even the coldest of hearts.

Square Enix has clarified that Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade's Yuffie Episode can't be played as a standalone and will be exclusive to the PS5. An FAQ page was uploaded after Intergrade's reveal during the most recent Sony State of Play broadcast. The Yuffie Episode was announced alongside Intergrade, but is a separate piece of DLC – but Square Enix has made clear that it won't be coming to PS4. The FAQ says that, "the new Yuffie Episode is optimized for PlayStation 5, so it is not available on PlayStation 4." This means that the only way to access the Yuffie Episode is to buy Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade on PS5 or, if you own a PlayStation 4 version of Final Fantasy VII Remake and a PlayStation 5, upgrade your version of the game – but you will still need to purchase the Yuffie Episode separately if you upgrade. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/02/25/final-fantasy-7-remake-intergrade-reveal-trailer"] Square Enix also explains that, even though you can purchase it separately as part of the upgrade process on PS5, Yuffie Episode can't be played as a standalone game without the rest of the package. "The new episode featuring Yuffie can only be played by either purchasing Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade on PlayStation 5, or by purchasing it separately after completing the free PlayStation 5 enhancement upgrade," the FAQ reads. Alongside Intergrade, Square Enix also announced a Final Fantasy VII Battle Royale game called Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier. as well as a mobile remake of Final Fantasy 7 and its spin-offs, called Ever Crisis. It's also looking likely that Final Fantasy 7 Remake will be coming to PS Plus – but it will be the PS4 version, and seemingly won;t be upgradeable to Intergrade. Intergrade comes to PS5 with improved textures, fog effects, lighting, and faster load times, as well as a new photo mode and support for the DualSense controller's haptic feedback. It will be playable in either Performance Mode, which runs at 60 FPS, or Graphics Mode, which prioritizes 4K resolution.

Tom Holland has said that his approach to playing Nathan Drake in the upcoming Uncharted movie may have been a "mistake." In an interview with GQ, Holland reflected on his role in the Uncharted movie, now dated for release in 2022, and shared his own personal concerns about his acting performance. He said he felt that, at times, he "kind of fell under that spell" of concentrating on the way that he looked in certain shots rather than channeling all of his focus solely into playing the character. "As soon as you start worrying about 'Do I look good in this shot?' acting becomes something other than playing a character," Holland told the publication. "I think there are elements of my performance in Uncharted where I kind of fell under that spell of being 'I want to look good now. I want this to be my cool moment.' I had to play this very tough, very stoic guy – basically, be Mark Wahlberg." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/03/uncharted-mark-wahlberg-is-only-signed-for-one-movie"] He went on to say that the experience had taught him an "important lesson" about his attitude towards certain elements of the role. He admitted that, even though he is yet to see whether he successfully delivered Nate's big "action hero" moments, he would probably consider taking a different approach to the way in which he plays these types of characters in the future. "My character is supposed to be a f**king action hero in this moment!" he explained further. "Look, I haven't seen it, so I don't know if I succeeded in that. But it was an important lesson learned, because, at times, it was less about land a mark and go through this scene and more about land a mark, stand like this and see my bulging biceps... It was a mistake and is something that I will probably never do again." Despite critiquing one aspect of his performance, Holland has shared some promising updates throughout the movie's various stages of production. The actor expressed optimism for the project early on, saying the movie will appeal to a wider audience because it's an origin story, and then, as filming got underway, he said the shoot was "going so well" and it was everything he "dreamed it would be." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-video-game-movie-in-development-almost&captions=true"] The Uncharted movie is said to be "just the beginning" of Sony's efforts to expand into new media. Towards the end of last year, Sony Pictures CEO Tony Vinciquerra revealed that his studio was in the process of developing 10 video game adaptations, including seven TV shows and three movies based on PlayStation properties, though he didn't specify whether Uncharted was included in that count.
