Sony announces PS5 event for June 4th

0

Sony is officially confirming its next Playstation 5 event which will be held on Thursday 4th June at 4pm ET (6am Friday 5th June Australian Eastern Time).

Sony has confirmed this will take a look at the future of gaming on the Playstation 5. The event itself will run for just over an hour and it will also feature a first look at the games which will be added to the launch of the PS5. It’s also the latest sign of Sony’s confidence that its biggest console launch since 2013’s PS4 will happen despite the disruptions the COVID-19 situation has caused to daily life, work and supply chains around the world.

“We remain absolutely on track” Playstation CEO Jim Ryan said in an interview. Sony’s PS5 event comes as the video game industry prepares for two of its biggest new product launches in nearly a decade. Sony’s PS5 & Microsoft’s Xbox Series x are slated to be released in time for the holiday shopping season later this year.

So far, Sony has unveiled PS5 specs, a logo and a new wireless controller for its next generation console. Sony has not shown off the PS5 console as of yet and its not clear if that will change at the PS5 event later this week.

The PLACES+FACES x G-SHOCK DW-6900 pays tribute to this with contrasting luminescent P+F branding against matte black on the strap.

Sonic The Hedgehog Sequel Confirmed

0

Some good news for Sonic fans this morning with Paramount Pictures & Sega confirming Sonic The Hedgehog is getting a sequel.

Sonic the Hedgehog started down a rocky road with the first trailer leading to the fans saying the movie was doomed. This caused Paramount Pictures to re-do all CGI around Sonic to make him look like Sonic which then led to a surprising result at the box office. The movie brought in around 306million USD on a budget of 90 odd million. The time in the movies was cut short due to the coronavirus pandemic and we will see the release of the movie onto DVD/Blu-Ray from June 3

*** SPOILER ALERT ***

The first film ended with Eggman/Robotnik, having shed his more presentable black-suited appearance for full-blown video game giant moustache cosplay ensemble, stranded on a mushroom kingdom planet, while a post-credits scene revealed that Sonic’s sidekick Tails had arrived.

So maybe this sequel will be a lot more like the games than the very-fast-ET premise of the last movie.

The original talent team behind the movie are reporting all coming back for the sequel but none of the cast has been confirmed for the sequel as of yet. Stay tuned for more developments around the sequel announcement.

Are you looking forward to seeing the sequel? Were you a fan of the first one? Let us know what you think.

Henry Cavill to return as Superman

0

Back in 2018 it was suggested that Henry Cavill was stepping away from his role as Clark Kent/Superman in the DC Universe. This was around the time Henry went on to film The Witcher for Netflix.

Breaking news today that Cavill & Warner Bros. have set a deal for the Man of Steel actor to reprise his role as Superman in future DC Comics-based films. This deal has not confirmed that there will be a Man of Steel sequel. Instead, Warner Bros. will use Cavill’s Superman similarly to how Marvel Studios has used the Hulk, playing supporting roles and making cameo apperances in films headlined by other heroes.

This new deal has been brought to the table due to Cavill appearing on the live stream rewatch of Man of Steel last week that Zach Synder hosted and also confirmed his cut of Justice League was indeed getting done for HBO Max in 2021.

Thoughts on this deal DC fans? Is Henry still the right fit to play the Man of Steel? Let us know what you think.

Justice League “Synder Cut” Coming to HBO Max

0

After a solid 2 years of campaigning from comic-book fans and the actors from Justice League, it appears Warners Bros have finally given in and will release the “Synder Cut” version of the movie in 2021.

Here is a bit of a back story for those who didnt know about this. Zack Synder (Director) stepped away while making Justice League back in 2016 due to a family tragedy which brought in Joss Whedon (The Avengers) to finish the movie. Unfortunately the threatical version of the movie didnt sit well with critics and comicbook fans. Then news was circulating about an unfinished edit of the movie that Zack Synder was working on. This has unreleased footage and more back story which was alot darker then the release. In November 2019 Gal Gardot (Wonder Woman) kicked the campaign of #ReleaseTheSynderCut into gear followed by the other Justice League actors.

Now finally, after a few years of waiting, Warners Bros have finally given in and will release the Zack Synder cut to its new streaming service HBOMax in 2021.

Who’s looking forward to seeing this cut of the movie? Will this finally make DC fans happy? Let us know what you think

Futura x Off-White ‘Flows’ – BespokeIND

0

BespokeIND is smashing it out of the park again with another stunning creation. This time, taking inspiration from Off-White and Futura.

The mastermind of this design is none other than Damian Sim, Creative Director of BespokeIND. Damian decided that one silhouette wasn’t enough to capture the essence of this masterpiece, so they decided to go with two – Dunk SB and Air Force 1.

Once again BespokeIND spared no expense when handcrafting these silhouette. Building the sneakers with various calf tumbled leathers and also velvet insides. You know all the usual suspects of materials. But the most important material used for these is the limited edition Futura x Off-White Made in Italy blanket.

These sneakers will be released in limited numbers. They will be a once-off and never to be repeated release. So don’t miss out this opportunity.

Make sure you follow and turn-on all notifications at the BespokeIND Instagram account for the exact date and drop time from their website. – https://www.bespokeind.com.au/
