Goat Simulator 3 Release Date Revealed

Goat Simulator 3 is coming on November 17, 2022.

The upcoming sequel to the original Goat Simulator (no, there is no Goat Simulator 2) will arrive on PC via the Epic Games Store, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.

“People told us not to beat a dead horse but no one ever said anything about goats, so we’re thrilled to announce Goat Simulator 3’s release date,” said Santiago Ferrero, creative director at Coffee Stain North.

“I wouldn’t exactly say we’re ‘proud’ to be bringing Pilgor’s antics back to players in November, but that’s definitely what we’re doing,” he added. “And at that time of year you won’t have much reason to leave the house anyway - you might as well be playing a new Goat Sim game.”

Goat Simulator 3 was announced just last month with a first-look trailer that spoofs the eight-year-old trailer for Dead Island 2. The game will see players take control of Pilgor the Goat once more, wreaking havoc upon the beautiful, sprawling island of San Angora the only way a goat knows how – with jetpacks, of course.

Goat Simulator 3 digital and physical pre-orders are available now. Goat fans can currently choose between the Goat Simulator 3 Pre-Udder Edition, which comes with additional in-game gear, or the Goat Simulator 3 Digital Downgrade Edition which also includes some remastered content from the original game.

Additionally, the Goat in a Box Edition includes a physical copy of the game as well as a ton of cute merch, such as a Goat plushie, custom Goat box, steelbook, 3 postcards, and a double-sided poster, not to mention a bunch of digital content. You’ll find a copy of the soundtrack, all the standard Pre-Udder Gear, some Remastered Skins and Gear, and even some 3D printing files just in case you fancy 3D printing your own goat, I guess?

Goat Simulator 3 promises to be just as ridiculous as the original game, if not more so – raising the baa (*facepalm*) with 4-Player multiplayer for true goat-based mayhem.

MTV Adds a ‘Best Metaverse Performance’ Category to the Video Music Awards

MTV has added a "Best Metaverse Performance" category to the Video Music Awards, pitting the likes of Ariana Grande's performance in Fortnite against Twenty One Pilots' concert in Roblox.

As reported by The Hill, voting is now open for the metaverse category and 21 others, and MTV will announce the winners at the VMA live show on August 28.

The full list of nominees are: Ariana Grande's headlining performance at the Fortnite Rift Tour, Blackpink's concert in PUBG: Mobile, BTS's performance in Minecraft, Charli XCX's appearance in Roblox, Justin Bieber's interactive virtual experience in Wave, and Twenty One Pilots' concert in Roblox.

MTV said the increasing number of artists hosting performances digitally led them to create the new category.

"We saw the opportunity to highlight and honour some of the best, most impactful executions of this - and celebrate artists who have found creative ways to use these spaces - which led to the addition of [the] Best Metaverse Performance category this year," MTV said.

Travis Scott was one of the first artists to host a performance in this way when he played the Astronomical concert back in 2020, and the connection between music and the metaverse has only grown since.

Remaining at the forefront of the movement, Fortnite also collaborated with Coachella earlier this year to bring elements of the iconic festival into the game.

The Next Episode of Better Call Saul Is Titled ‘Breaking Bad’

Better Call Saul just teased the crossover we’ve all been waiting for, with the third-to-last episode of the series getting a very familiar title - 'Breaking Bad'.

According to AV Club, broadcaster AMC has confirmed that Better Call Saul’s next episode will bear the title, teasing the appearance of the original show's Walter White and Jesse Pinkman.

It’s been on the cards for a while. After all, Better Call Saul co-creator Peter Gould confirmed that we would finally see the Breaking Bad duo in the show’s final season.

“I don’t want to spoil things for the audience, but I will say the first question we had when we started the show was, ‘Are we gonna see Walt and Jesse on the show?’” he said. “Instead of evading, I’ll just say yeah.”

But is this just a clever bit of misdirection? The episode synopsis reads: “The partners escalate their enterprise to new levels.” Clearly, this is supposed to make us think that Walt and Jesse will appear in the episode. But could it just be a little cat and mouse before revealing the pair later?

However, fans have pointed out that Saul Goodman’s first appearance in Breaking Bad was similarly in an episode titled “Better Call Saul”. If Walt and Jesse do appear in the next episode, it would be a neat, rather circular, call back to Saul’s first TV appearance.

Interestingly, the following episode – the penultimate of the entire series – is written and directed by Breaking Bad creator, Vince Gilligan. Hopefully that's a hint that we still have a little more time with our favorite meth kingpins.

At the very least, it looks as though Better Call Saul might catch up with Walt at the height of Heisenberg’s criminal empire. After those black and white flashforwards to Gene the Cinnabon Manager, it’s about time we got a glimpse of what puts him there.

PS5 Getting 1440p Monitor Support Today

Update - 09/07/2022: Sony has announced that its PlayStation 5 firmware update that includes 1440p monitor support, Gamelists, and new social features will be available globally today, September 7.

Announced in a PlayStation Blog post, Sony's vice president of platform experience Hideaki Nishino said that these highly requested features - first confirmed to be on the way in July - will finally be fully released.

The blog post also revealed that Sony is testing other new features including the ability to do a voice search for YouTube videos from anywhere on the PS5 console. It's also adding new features to the PlayStation App including the ability to launch a remote play session straight from your phone and the option to request that friends share their screens.

Original Story: Sony's PlayStation 5 is finally getting 1440p monitor support thanks to an incoming firmware update.

As announced on the PlayStation Blog, the new feature has entered beta and is therefore essentially in the final stage of testing before Sony rolls it out to all PS5 users.

The 1440p support is particularly important for PC players, who have been requesting the feature since the console was released – especially as its competitor the Xbox Series X has supported 1440p since launch.

"If the game you’re playing supports 1440p rendering you can experience native 1440p output on your display," the post said. "Or, if you’re playing a game with a higher native resolution like 4K, then you may benefit from improved anti-aliasing through supersampling down to 1440p output."

The resolution can be changed in the PS5's system settings, by proceeding to video output, resolution, and finally to 1440p.

Also coming in the beta – the features of which usually see a full release a few weeks later – is a new organisation option called Gamelists. Users will be able to sort their games into these Gamelists, essentially the folders used on the PS4, with up to 15 lists in total and 100 games in each one.

The ability to compare 3D and stereo audio is also featured, alongside easier to see in-progress activities, and new social features such as requesting party members share their screen, a pop-up to quickly join party member's games, and more.

Sony releases several firmware updates a year adding more features to its consoles, and has also recently bolstered its digital offers through the likes of the new PlayStation Plus tiers and the PlayStation Stars rewards programme.

Oppenheimer Trailer Counts Down to the Man Who Moved the Earth

The first teaser trailer for Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer has been revealed, and shows the first footage of Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer, the so-called “father of the atomic bomb”.

The trailer, which is currently running on a continual loop on Universal Pictures’ YouTube channel, shows very little, and is mostly a mood piece-style teaser. Snippets of dialogue can be heard playing over black-and-white footage, which shows little more than Oppenheimer putting on his hat and then walking, surrounded by photographers. Interspersed between these sequences are images depicting fission (presumably nuclear fission that occurs in the sun, based on a line dialogue spoken that claims Oppenheimer has harnessed “the force from which the sun draws its power”.) Those images are similar in colour to the fiery poster first revealed last week.

Among the other words spoken are “The world is changing, reforming, this is your moment,” and “You gave them the power to destroy themselves, you may be the most important man whoever lived.” It’s all incredibly ominous, made further uncomfortable by the escalating musical score which is, in classic Nolan fashion, unorthodox to say the least.

On screen is also a countdown, starting at 11 months, 17 days, 22 hours, and 42 minutes, which points to next year’s 78th anniversary of the first-ever launch of a nuclear weapon by the United States, on July 16, 1945. That’s just days before Oppenheimer opens in cinemas on July 21, 2023.

A similar cut of this trailer, with a longer timer, played ahead of screenings of Nope last week. The film will star Cillian Murphy as the titular scientist, as well as Robert Downey Jr., Josh Peck, Florence Pugh, Rami Malek, and David Dastmalchian.
