Take-Two Boss Gives Hope For LA Noire 2 And Other Sequels

Take-Two Boss Gives Hope For LA Noire 2 And Other Sequels https://ift.tt/EKd1RNT At the inaugural iicon event in Las Vegas today, Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick gave a speech in which he gave some hope--but not much--for sequels to L.A. Noire and others. Zelnick was asked if Take-Two was planning to do more with L.A. Noire. He said, "Yes," before saying, "You never know," according to Game File . More broadly, Zelnick said Take-Two is constantly thinking about where it could take all of its franchises. "The answer broadly is we're looking at doing something in the future with all of our intellectual property, but nothing to announce," he said, adding that any announcement about a Rockstar franchise would come from Rockstar, not Take-Two.

Expendables 4 Review - They Made Another One

Expendables 4 Review - They Made Another One https://ift.tt/Vizl6C5

The Expendables franchise is out of step with the present. These movies are supposed to serve as homages to the silly, low-rent action movies of the '80s and '90s, when many of our biggest action stars made their names. But if this franchise wanted to keep going after a nine-year break, Expendables 4 (officially dubbed Expend4bles) needed a meaningful change to how it operates--something akin to how Bad Boys for Life added a welcome streak of self-awareness.

Amusingly, Expendables 4 borrows a number of elements from that third Bad Boys movie--like casting the actor who played that film's sub-villain, Jacob Scipio; an "old guy needs glasses" subplot with Dolph Lundgren; the addition of an entire group of younger-generation folks to contrast with the old hats; and a fighter who doesn't want to do any fighting because it's traumatic for him. Despite that, Expendfourbles doesn't manage any kind of self-reflection. It does, however, have about 20 minutes of really solid action that almost makes the film's remaining hour and change of excessively incoherent plotting worth sitting through. Almost.

This fourth Expendables movie sees the gang, led once more by Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) and Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), but without a lot of the past big names from the series, go up against a mysterious terrorist named Rahmat (The Raid's Iko Uwais), who is doing a pretty standard "steal a nuke to start World War III" villain plan. The Expendables try to stop him from stealing some fancy high-tech detonators, but things go wrong and they lose one of their own on the way to failing the mission.
