Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End FACEBOOK/ Uncharted 4

Naughty Dog’s upcoming video game title “Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End”

Christian Post Report – Fans of the hit video game franchise series Uncharted have long been waiting for its upcoming sequel “Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End.” They were understandably disappointed when they heard the game is now pushed back for a “Spring 2016” release date.

Game directors Bruce Straley and Neil Druckmann admitted that the installment “is much more ambitious” than what they initially envisioned.

“After spending so many years with Nathan Drake, he means a lot to the team, and telling the climactic chapter of his adventures is a task we don’t take lightly – this game deserves every bit of the attention to detail, precise pacing, and nuanced storytelling Naughty Dog is known for,” they wrote on their official PS Blog update site.

Given the immense challenge to keep up or perhaps surpass the success they had with the past series, the studio chose to hold off the game for them to make sure that fans won’t be disappointed when it hits the store shelves.

“So we’ve made the difficult choice of pushing the game’s release date. Giving us a few extra months will make certain that Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End not only meets the team’s high standards but the high standards that gamers have come to expect from a Naughty Dog title,” the directors went on to say.

Straley and Druckmann then said that Naughty Dog will use the remainder of 2015 to polish “The Thief’s End” and make sure that its main protagonist, Nathan Drake, gets “the closure it deserves.”

The game studio did confirm a multiplayer mode for Uncharted 4, which could possibly add to the wait for the highly anticipated sequel.

‘The Walking Dead’ Season 5 Cast News, Spoilers: Father Gabriel Delivers an Ominous Message

The Walking Dead Facebook/ The Walking Dead

Darryl says “We brought dinner” as they walk into Alexandria, on The Walking Dead.

Christian Post Report – With more than a couple of episodes left before the hit post-apocalyptic TV drama series “The Walking Dead” closes its fifth season, fans are already fearing the rift slowly creating a division within what was once an inseparable group.

AMC’s recently released teaser for the upcoming episode shows Father Gabriel (Seth Gilliam) returning into the scene. In the video, he is seen wandering around Alexandria’s place of worship. He is then heard murmuring: “Satan disguises himself as the Angel of Light.”

“This false light will destroy everything,” the reverend went on to speak while the scene changes to feature a horde of walkers making their way into the compound. “A day will come.”

Playing the rugged anti-hero Daryl Dixon, Norman Reedus said that this season will see a lot of changes.

“A lot of changes are made, and a lot of internal changes are made. It’s kind of like opening a Pandora’s box. It’s really kind of headed in that direction,” the 46-year-old actor told Entertainment Weekly.

These “internal changes” could mean a lot. This might entail the differences growing between the characters.

In last week’s episode, we saw Daryl refusing the smuggled gun from Carol (Melissa McBride). The plan was really for them to prepare for any trouble that might come inside the safe haven. Does Daryl already consider Alexandria his home?

Some members of Rick’s (Andrew Lincoln) group also find contentment and the desire to assimilate with the Alexandrians. Michonne (Danai Gurira) was seen in “Forget” hanging her signature weapon on the wall.

Questions will definitely be answered when “The Walking Dead” Season 5 airs this Sunday, March 15 on AMC.

‘Spectre’ Casting News: Stephanie Sigman Joins Daniel Craig in New 007 Film

Christian Post Report – Daniel Craig, who plays James Bond, will joined by Stephanie Sigman in the next Bond film “Spectre.” This was announced through the movie’s official Twitter account Wednesday.

Stephanie Sigman joins other actresses Lea Seydoux and Monica Belucci, who were earlier cast in the movie. Sigman is a model and actress of Mexican descent, known for her roles in “Miss Bala” and “Pioneer.” Other new cast members include Christoph Waltz, David Bautista and Andrew Scott.

Ben Whishaw, Ralph Fiennes and Rory Kinnear will return to reprise the roles they played in the last Bond movie, “Skyfall.”

Sam Mendes of “American Beauty” fame is directing the movie, while John Logan wrote the script. Filming is underway in various locations in Europe, including London and Rome. The movie will be released in U.K. theaters on November 6, 2015.

Filming has encountered a few hitches recently, with some of the film’s stars experiencing injuries on set. Craig recently sprained his knee while doing a fight scene on location in London.

“Daniel’s injury is a real concern. Missed deadlines are a nightmare in the film world as it pushes everything back. Then not all the iconic locations can be rebooked easily or quickly,” an insider told The Mirror U.K. “In two weeks filming is due to switch to Rome and bosses fear Daniel’s recovery may mean they have to plan around their main star. It’s certainly not ideal.”

An earlier report in BBC also noted that the film was not allowed to shoot scenes at the Senedd chamber in Cardiff Bay by the National Assembly for Wales. The assembly cited that the chamber is “the home of Welsh democracy” and was not “a drama studio.” It is not known whether an alternate location was found by the production team.

The film’s plot will be about Bond’s pursuit of the global terrorist organization called Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion (SPECTRE). No other plot details were available.

Australian F1 Grand Prix 2015 Live Stream Free: Watch Forumla One Racing Online (Start Time, Schedule)

The Australian Grand Prix 2015 takes place on Sunday as the Formula 1 season gets underway at Albert Park in Melbourne, Australia. There has been a big build up to the current season, with rivalries from last season resumed, and there have already been dramatic crashes and an intriguing race for pole position. However, all the build up has now finished and it’s time for the first Grand Prix of the F1 season, which has a start time of 5 a.m. GMT (1 a.m. ET, or 2 p.m. local time in Melbourne). The race can be watched through free live stream (details below).

Mercedes Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton Reuters/File

Christian Post Report – Mercedes Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton of Britain drives during the first practice session of the Abu Dhabi F1 Grand Prix at the Yas Marina circuit in Abu Dhabi November 21, 2014.

The race for pole was won by Britain’s Lewis Hamilton, who claimed the spot by finishing more than half a second ahead of his Mercedes teammate, Nico Rosberg, as the pair dominated qualifying.

It’s hard to see how the other drivers will be able to compete with the two Mercedes drivers, given how dominant the Mercedes car was, and the others may be relying on one or both of the Mercedes drivers to bow out with car trouble or a big driving error to be able to beat them.

William’s Felipe Massa managed to best Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel to third on the grid, and McLaren got off to a nightmare start to the season, posting their worst opening qualifying performance for six years. They have just started a new engine partnership with Honda, but it appears there are still a number of issues to iron out.

Hamilton’s pole position was a full 0.594 seconds ahead of Rosberg, who was in turn a ridiculous 1.391 seconds clear of Massa in third spot.

Britain’s Hamilton has said ahead of the race: “It has been a great start to the weekend. It doesn’t feel that long since the last race. It has been a big rush and huge effort form the factory to get us here with this performance. It is so much fun in qualifying and I am just massively grateful for all the hard work.”

Meanwhile, Rosberg has added: “Lewis was on impressive form today. He did an awesome job and nailed the time. For me, the speed was there; I just didn’t get it together.”

The Australian Grand Prix 2015 will start at 1 a.m. ET and can be watched online through free live stream by clicking here.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao have a stare-down at the first and only press conference for their May 2 fight

Christian Post Report – At a press conference for the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Manny Pacquiao fight, the two boxers came face to face on Wednesday, March 11, to promote the fight scheduled to take place in Las Vegas.

The meeting marks the first and only time the pair will square off ahead of the weigh in, 24 hours before their May 2 fight.

Pacquiao arrived first and walked the red carpet, and the Filipino boxer was dapper in a dark suit and purple tie. Mayweather arrived next and posed for pictures wearing a light grey suit and striped shirt.

At the press conference, Pacquiao was the first to make his way to the stage, followed by Mayweather who walked to “We Will Rock You.”

The fighters came face to face, and had their first stare-down which amounted to 38 seconds.

“This is the biggest challenge of my life and I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time. We are in the toughest fight of our lives, we are fighting the best fighter in the world,” Pacquiao’s coach Freddie Roach said. “But we are going to kick his [expletive].”

Both boxers were incredibly polite and respectful during the press conference. 

“For the fans of boxing, I believe, this is what you are waiting for since five years ago. Both of us are going to undergo hard training for this fight and we will do our best on May 2 to make you happy,” Pacquiao said.

Mayweather praised his opponent and said that it all came together at the right time.

“This is a fight the world can’t miss,” said Mayweather. “It is an unbelievable match-up. I’m in the gym working hard right now, dedicating myself to the sport because I’ve never wanted to win a fight so much in my life.”

Both fighters also thanked the people who have been instrumental in their success which ultimately led them down to this epic event.

“First off, I have to thank my father,” said Mayweather. “Unbelievable trainer, unbelievable person. It has been a long road but here we are now. Al Haymon—remarkable guy.”

“I want to thank all the Filipino fans who are watching at home. I want to thank Freddie Roach for being nice to me and Bob Arum,” Pacquiao said. “I want to let people know that God can raise someone from nothing to something—and that is me. I came from nothing to something and I owe everything to God.”

The bout, which is the richest in history, will also be the most expensive to see as ticket prices in the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on May 2 will start at $1,500 in the rafters and rise to $7,500 at ringside. It has been reported that tickets have been reaching upwards of $150,000 on the black market.
