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.

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.

“It’s been a long road, but we’re here now,” Mayweather said. “May 2, the fight of the century. It’s all about the best fighting the best, and Pacquiao is one of the best fighters of this era.”

The currently undefeated American boxer went on to speak about the match up of which the world couldn’t afford to miss.

“Everything is about timing. I think we couldn’t choose a better time. This is a fight that the world can’t miss,” he said.

The Daily Mail meanwhile added to the news saying that this upcoming clash is set to be the richest in the history of the boxing. According to the publication, the combined proceeds could total $250,000,000.

The showdown, which is slated to happen at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, will cost the public a hefty $1,500 to $7,500 ticket prices.

‘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.
