What's on your HDTV: 'Shadow of Mordor', 'Transformers', 'Homeland' and 'Krull'
As the fall TV premieres continue to roll (Did anyone watch Scorpion last week? Did anyone enjoy watching Scorpion last week?) we're looking forward to a few big Blu-ray releases. Sure, Michael Bay's latest fighting robot epic is hitting the shelves this week, but we're waiting for Krull, complete with pre-Taken Liam Neesons. It's also a big week for videogames, with Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and Forza Horizon 2 arriving. While The Strain wraps up its season on FX, we'll be welcoming back Homeland on Showtime Sunday night. Also, Gilmore Girls fans can look forward to the entire series on Netflix starting Wednesday morning. Hit the gallery or just look after the break to check out each day's highlights, including trailers and let us know what you think (or what we missed).
The Queue: Breaking The Chains
Welcome back to The Queue, the daily Q&A column in which the WoW Insider team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Matthew Rossi is anxious for Justice League: War to come out so he can see what this would look like animated. Turns out Superman's a fan of old Dokken songs. He kinda always has been, but as much as I don't particularly like this version of the costume, I do like Jim Lee's art on it. It was a toss up between this pic and Supes throttling Batman for me, but I went with this one. It's very nostalgic. Anyway, on to your WoW questions. sergel92 asks: How do you all feel about public instances/dungeons? I mean in a general sense. I kind of like the idea overall. More complex than simple world bosses and more story and anyone can help out. I think the implementation of them would be tricky though. Back in the day, we had Jintha'Alor, which pretty much was this. It was a zone full of hard mobs and elites, which could challenge whole groups for certain fights, and a series of group quests to be completed. I think with the technology introduced in Mists for mob scaling and tag sharing, it could be time to bring this sort of 'zone within a zone' back to prominence.
Dark Sector borrows from RE4
There is a new gameplay montage of Dark Sector floating around the web today. For those who don't remember, Dark Sector was originally a high tech stealth action game set in space. It has since become an alien tech stealth action game set in Eastern Europe. About the only thing we really know about the game thus far is that the main character has been dispatched on a mission and becomes infected with an alien, um, something. This particular infection is okay, though, because it gives him nifty super powers. Much better than your garden variety Earth viruses we'd say. The montage released today focuses mostly on the Krull blade you see our hero wielding above. It looks like you can endow the blade with elemental properties -- fire, lightning, etc. -- to help you in certain situations. The game also shares more than a passing resemblance to Resident Evil 4, right down to the perspective and laser sight aiming system. Check out the video after the break.
