Actor Jack Black is a big fan of video games, and specifically Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption series, and he thinks it's too bad that there hasn't been a Red Dead movie yet.

Speaking to Polygon, Black said it's a "shame" that Rockstar isn't making a Red Dead movie because the games are "the most cinematic" and would seemingly lend themselves nicely to a big-screen adaptation. "It would be, like, too easy to make them into great movies," he said, adding that he would love to be in a Red Dead movie if anyone asked him.

"Hey Housers? Dan, Sam, I'm waiting for your call," he said, referencing the Rockstar founder brothers. Dan Houser left Rockstar in 2020 to start a new company, Absurd Ventures. Sam Houser remains at Rockstar and is its current president.

The Super Mario Galaxy movie is primed for a predictably massive opening weekend despite mixed reviews, but the biggest surprise may be the non-Mario characters who make an appearance. Just ahead of the film's opening Nintendo revealed that Fox McCloud appears alongside all the Mushroom Kingdom denizens. If all that fancy flying puts you or your kids in the mood to explore the Star Fox oeuvre, we're here to help.

Star Fox is a traditional on-rails space shooter starring a team of anthropomorphic starfighter pilots. The team itself is called Star Fox, and Fox McCloud is the team leader. The other pilots--in most games, Peppy, Falco, and Slippy--are your wingmen. The series debuted on the Super NES in 1993, showing off rudimentary but at-the-time mind-blowing 3D effects. So should you track down the original Star Fox and get shooting? Not necessarily.

Change often leaves indie developers balancing their own creative plans with what players expect after a hit. Success, especially sudden success, can reshape a studio's future overnight.

Players now expect ongoing updates, long-term support, and clear roadmaps. But even at the highest level, that model is difficult to sustain. Recent layoffs at Epic Games, the company behind Fortnite, highlighted how demanding live support has become. The tension between long-term vision and player demand is becoming harder to manage. Indie teams face similar pressure without the same resources.

Aggro Crab, the studio behind Peak, is one such team. However, the studio's legacy didn't start with a live-service title; instead it began with a comedic-yet-brutal soul like: Another Crab's Treasure. The title was a commercial and critical success, elevating the studio to new heights. But after finishing Another Crab's Treasure back in 2024, Aggro Crab's small team was exhausted. The three-year project left everyone drained.

Recent comments from industry figures have reignited speculation about the future of The Last of Us: Part III--even though no official confirmation has been made. Neil Druckmann, a key creative force behind the series at Naughty Dog, recently made some quizzical remarks that were enough to keep hopes alive. Now, new insights from a former studio lead suggest that something may indeed be happening behind the scenes--though details remain tightly guarded.

Speaking on the Lance E Lee Podcast (via GamesRadar) former Naughty Dog game director Vinit Agarwal reflected on his time at the studio, including his work on The Last of Us Online. After spending seven years developing the multiplayer project before its cancellation, Agarwal revealed that he transitioned to directing another "future game" within the company, where he remained for an additional year. While he ultimately left to pursue a new venture, his comments confirm that development on at least one other major title was underway during his final period at the studio.

Notably, Agarwal distinguished this mystery project from Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, which he explicitly referred to as "Neil's game." This distinction has fueled speculation that the unnamed project could be something entirely separate--possibly even tied to the The Last of Us universe. Back in 2023, Naughty Dog stated that multiple large-scale single-player games were in development following the cancellation of its multiplayer title, and Druckmann later reiterated that more than one project was in progress.
