Last year Korean developer and publisher NCSoft unveiled an Unreal Engine 5 sci-fi interactive movie with superb visuals which caught our eye but didn't offer many details.

They've now shared a gameplay reveal.

This week America's scariest small town is back, our North American correspondent has the latest from Hollywood, new starship sim unveiled, Batman rescued by Amazon and wacky alien hospital game and series coming.

After just recently teasing some kind of continuation of his DC Justice League stories which most were not expecting, film director Zack Snyder has teased a "ridiculous scale" roleplaying game related to his Netflix Rebel Moon films.

The first of which is expected in December.

Electronic Arts this morning released the story trailer for action roleplaying game Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and we are nonplussed.

It begins with fortune cookie "wisdom" about fire being cosy but dangerous, and ends with the suggestion that a place is only worth fighting for if the Empire isn't there.

With Doctor Who's 60th Anniversary return half a year away, we hadn't been expecting to hear much on this front for some months but the BBC have surprised us.

Preceding this year's specials will be a trans media event called Doom's Day.

Apparently it's news that home of our favourite pointy eared master of logic Spock, Vulcan, isn't real.

We never imagined it was but a recently published paper concludes that a previously reported possible Vulcan like planet in that system was a false positive.

We finally got around to watching an episode of Disney's not-a-superhero comedy Extraordinary, and while it is better than some of its promos made it appear, it was unexpectedly morally questionable.

For our tastes there's too much sex, but we don't regard sex as amoral. The problem is their treatment of consent. Spoilers ahead.

In January Thunderful Games unveiled post-apocalyptic steampunk construction and management simulator SteamWorld Build.

We were impressed and are pleased to see something new in their latest gameplay trailer - mining.

NASA have paid a small tribute to one of our favourite shows, The Orville, by using several character names and a fictional off world medical school in an example table in an official document.

ROSES - Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences - 2023. It's not quite as interesting as a talking flower voiced by Bruce Willis but Seth and the rest of The Orville gang are probably pleased.

In the matter of those suspiciously similar Elden Ring animations found in the recently released post apocalyptic souls like Bleak Faith: Forsaken, it appears that sci-fi didn't steal from fantasy but was in possession of stolen goods.

Developer Archangel Studios have committed to replacing all stolen assets in their game.
