With the film recently arriving on DVD, I had the chance to talk to co-director Scott Waugh and star Lieutenant Commander Rorke Denver about the release, the critical reaction to the film, and the rumors that Waugh would be directing the upcoming video game adaptation, **Need for Speed


While some players remain worried, many pro players who have had hands-on experience with Valorant are very positive about it. The tactical nature of the gameplay mixed with likable, striking characters could prove Valorant Abilities|Https://Valorantfocus.Com/ a cross-market success. After all, Riot has found worldwide success with League of Legends , a character-based MOBA that has branched out into various mediums, including hit music videos in the Korean Pop genre. Riot aims to bridge two kinds of first-person shooter subgenres into a definitive vision. The hype that Valorant is generating is palpable, even through the light criticism. Pre-launch trailers for the game have gathered millions of views, and with an impending beta, **Valorant ** will soon be in the hands of the play


Ranters, what do you think about the Valor exploit in the Rise of the Rakghouls expansion? Given what you've seen so far, will BioWare be able to deliver on all the promises it's made for Star Wars: The Old Republic ? Share your take on the situation in the comments be


"Our Game Updates will also include bug fixes, balance changes, performance improvements and exploit-proofing based on your feedback. We review reports from the community every day and compare them to gameplay metrics, QA bugs and our own experiences in the live game–where we’re playing right alongside you. Although we already address critical issues during our weekly updates, the major Game Updates will implement some of the most sweeping changes and fix


In a short teaser video, Riot Games’ upcoming first-person shooter **Valorant ** showcases a new character and their toxic abilities. Riot has been making waves within the gaming community after its announcement of multiple upcoming ga

All things considered, this may not have been the most opportune time for The Old Republic Game Director James Ohlen to state in a Design Notes blog post that, "This first Game Update will show everyone how serious we are about expanding Star Wars: The Old Republic

The second Act of Valor installment will probably wind up with a subtitle, rather than being called **Act of Valor 2 ** . We'll keep you posted on the developing project as more information is made availa


However, it also seems that weapon skins may be the most significant cosmetics coming to Valorant , at least for a while. According to Qwixzo, the game will launch without character skins. In the video, Nijland claims that Riot doesn’t want to obscure the silhouettes or hitboxes of the heroes by adding lots of character skins , similar to how Apex Legends offered only simplistic skins for its heroes when it first launc


I couldn’t find a better brand than Need for Speed . I mean it's a huge franchise and to direct under the leadership of Steven Spielberg is just- to me- probably one of the coolest things that could ever happen in my career. I'm just really excited to bring my filmmaking style and authenticity to that kind of ge


The lack of character skins in Valorant might be a turn-off for some players, but others will definitely appreciate the inclusion of the Urf weapon skins. Urf is a pretty niche character, and anyone who’s going into **Valorant ** without having played League of Legends will likely have no idea what the skins are even referencing. While it’s good to see Riot throwing in a treat for some of its biggest fans, the developer will probably need to offer quite a bit more to keep entirely new players from feeling left


"We have another major update planned for March and future content arriving throughout 2012 and 2013. We plan to release new Operations, Flashpoints, Warzones, Space Missions, single player content, vehicles, and companion characters. We’ll always be improving our existing game with additions like guild banks, PVP ranked matches and interface customization. Our Legacy system expands in March, bringing more options and a new level of depth to the existing character class


Deadline is reporting that the film project - we'll refer to it as **Act of Valor 2 ** for brevity's sake - will be another "R-Rated gritty actioner," albeit this time the focus will be on elite SWAT officers rather than Navy SEALs. The intention seems to be for the followup installment to emulate the model used to construct the original Act of Valor movie. That is, a fictionalized account of a dangerous operation - carried out by a highly-effective task force - will be used to illustrate the harsh realities of that lifestyle; that is, by recreating actual firefight scenarios and anecdotal details with as much accuracy as possible (while still delivering an engaging viewing experien


Stunt coordinators-turned directors Mike McCoy and Scott Waugh's feature-length debut, **Act of Valor ** , was an ambitious undertaking that required the duo to work alongside cast members who possess real-world experience serving as Navy SEALs. The movie was heralded by military families and servicemen for bringing a greater sense of realism to the action and combat sequences (compared to the average Hollywood military ops thriller); however, its video game-like story progression and character interactions left many critics and non-military types with more lukewarm feelings ( read our review , for examp
