During the latest episode of his “The Game Mess Show,” Venture Beat’s Jeff Grubb spilled the beans about The Coalition working on a new intellectual property. Xbox Game Studios is working hard to release Halo Infinite later this year, and The Coalition has joined the efforts, but the new IP may give fans of the Gears of War franchise something else to appreciate from The Coalition.

It’s currently unclear what, exactly, is going on with Gears of War as a whole. Microsoft is yet to formally announce a new project in the franchise, even though the two latest titles in the series (Gears 5 and Gears Tactics, specifically) received ample critical acclaim. RELATED: Fall Guys Adding Gears of War Content The latest Gears leak is as tentative as they get: an anonymous source sent a picture of a computer screen showing off the two alleged logos to the Xbox Era Podcast, with a note that the source themselves wasn’t sure whether the image is original or a custom fake....

It’s hard to pinpoint where the image originated, but it has since been posted on NeoGAF by user opricnik. In the image, Emma Stone appears to be dressed in military garb, with white hair and strange black ooze coming from her eyes, not unlike Mads Mikkelsen’s character in the game. This seems to suggest that Emma Stone will be playing an antagonist in Death Stranding, assuming the image is legitimate and not something made to throw off fans....

This rumor comes from RedGamingTech, a YouTube channel dedicated to video game hardware. RedGamingTech cites an unnamed source that claims Konami is moving forward with a full-blown Metal Gear Solid remake for PC and PS5. Not only that, but Konami apparently plans on releasing HD remasters of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots for PlayStation 5 as well....

According to industry leaker kopite7kimi, as spotted by Videocardz, it’s possible that the upcoming RTX 4090 from Nvidia could have a base clock speed of 2235 MHz and 2520 MHz boost, with an actual in-game clock speed of 2750 MHz. Given that the RTX 3090 has a boost clock of 1695 MHz, that means the upcoming Ada Lovelace hardware could be nearly twice as fast as its flagship predecessor. Obviously, there’s more to a graphics card than clock speed, but it still suggests that there could be a major upgrade between this and the next gen....

According to a report from Android Central, OnePlus has a $200 phone codenamed Clover in the works. And it looks like it will boast some pretty solid specs for the price. The insider who has leaked the information is the same one who outed the OnePlus Nord, which ended up being spot on. OnePlus Clover Rumored Specs and Features Starting with the screen, the rumored OnePlus Clover features a large 6....

The official Xbox Game Pass Twitter account posted a “screenshot” of a fake email apparently sent by Melissa McGamepass, a fake name it has used to similar Game Pass teases in the past. The caption on Twitter suggests that the email contains a tease for a game that’s coming to Xbox Game Pass, and so fans have been tearing it apart for clues. The sentence “Has anyone else noticed a mysterious signal in the distance lately or am I the anomaly in the situation?...

As seen in the tweet below from Jynx Club, this information comes by way of a purported insider by the name of “Chinese Riddler,” with the initial thread relating to the Pokemon game for Nintendo Switch being a “reboot” having been deleted shortly after its posting. Naturally, it’s difficult to confirm whether or not these details are legitimate, and it’s even harder to determine how exactly the upcoming RPG would “reboot” the series, if at all....

According to a user posting on the PSNProfiles forum, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is supposedly already on Sony Interactive Entertainment’s servers, leading some to speculate that Bluehole is preparing to launch PUBG on PS4 at some point in December 2018. What’s more is that Niko Partners’ industry analyst, Daniel Ahmad, seems to have insider information on the matter, as he chimed in on a ResetEra forum to say, “It’ll be out next month, yeh [sic]....

However, Nintendo may already be looking to re-invent the current image of the 3DS, and they allegedly plan on doing so by adding another circle pad onto the portable. This report comes from French gaming site 01net, and their sources have been proven to be pretty reliable in the past; they even revealed that Nintendo’s new console was codenamed Project Cafe before it was officially dubbed the Wii U. The anonymous source states that Nintendo plans on also making a second circle pad available to existing devices - but said to be an add-on that will attach to the right-hand side of the 3DS....

So when Sony announced that they were market testing “an aesthetic layout with logically marked sections and rolodex lists” it could be that everyone’s prayers will soon be answered. Seeming to take a few pointers from both Xbox Live and Steam, the potential update to the PSN will include a live search similar to Google’s “Instant Search,” with a database-like listings for games, movies, and even developers on the right-hand side....

Developed by Insomniac Games, the studio behind Ratchet and Clank to name just one franchise, 2018’s Spider-Man for PS4 was an enormous success at launch and beyond, selling through more than 13 million units as of August, 2019. These sales alone practically beg for a sequel, but several of the cutscenes that play at the end of the game tease various plotlines that all but confirmed at this point. The most significant of these ending cutscenes is the one featuring Norman Osborn returning to the same secret lab that Mary Jane was skulking about earlier in the game, leading to her inadvertently transporting the radioactive spider that gives Miles Morales his powers....

During a recent Q&A on Instagram, Andrew “Boz” Bosworth, vice president at Facebook Reality Labs, which makes the headset, gave a thumbs up when asked if the Oculus Quest 2 would get an upgrade to a 120hz refresh rate. The update would be a significant improvement over the current 90hz refresh rate offered by the headset, observers say. “A high refresh rate doesn’t just mean a smoother experience, but a more immersive one, and the jump to 120hz is substantial enough to have a real-world effect,” Kaelum Ross, a former VR professional at Fujitsu, said in an email interview....

The Columbus Crew are set to announce the signing of Ghana defender Jonathan Mensah from Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala, according to The Columbus Dispatch .

Manchester City is keeping a close eye on Kingsley Coman’s situation as the club mulls over a summer approach in 2017, according to Sport. The France international joined Bayern Munich from Juventus on a two-year loan agreement in 2015, with Pep Guardiola helping the youngster to enhance his reputation and a earn a place at Euro 2016 during his opening 12 months in Germany.

With Bayer Leverkusen’s Lars Bender insisting he will remain at Bayer , Arsenal have been alerted to Martinez’s possible availability and are believed to have enquired about him. The 25-year old, who can operate as a defensive midfielder or central defender, has become increasingly disillusioned with a lack of starting opportunities under Pep Guardiola and is seriously thinking about leaving the Allianz Arena. With the Catalan giants under a transfer embargo next year, it is understood that the upcoming summer transfer window will be a huge one for the club as they pursue a number of targets – Martinez one of them....

Nani, 27, has been constantly linked with a move to Italy for a year now, and the Portuguese winger is now expected to put his signature to a contract that will see him earn €4m every season.

I will not issue statements on Nani because the situation is delicate....

A catalogue of injuries have restricted the 25-year-old to just two appearances this season, meaning that he failed to qualify for a title-winners medal. When he has been fit, Richards has been firmly behind first-choice right-back Pablo Zabaleta in the pecking order. Having spent 11 years at the club, Richards is greatly appreciative of Manchester City’s support but feels that it’s time to scope out his options in an attempt to save a floundering career....

In what comes as a surprise to many Liverpool faithful, the 24-year old is all set to switch bases to London for a reported fee of £1.5million. Kelly was thought to be one of the most promising talents coming out of the Liverpool youth system. However, it now looks as if that he will have to make his mark on the Premier League elsewhere. A centre-back by trade, he hasn’t been able to push himself into Brendan Rodgers’ side with Liverpool having a plethora of options for the spot....
