David Hayter Opens Up About His 'Huge' Lost Planet Movie That Never Got Made

Image
Acclaimed voice actor and screenwriter David Hayter opened up about his canceled Lost Planet movie adaptation, explaining why it never got off the ground in a throwaway tweet more than a decade after it was first confirmed. Did you know that David Hayter, the voice of Solid Snake in the Metal Gear games, wrote the screenplay for a Lost Planet movie ? I didn’t either, until he tweeted about it today — almost twenty years after the project fell through. Hayter spoke up about the film on October 27, 2026, reminding fans that yes, he writes for movies, and one of those movies would have been an absolute dream for fans of Capcom’s long-forgotten sci-fi shooter series Lost Planet . Fun Fact: I wrote a huge LOST PLANET movie for Warner Brothers in 2008, and then the entire financial world crashed, and that was the end of it. — David Hayter (@DavidBHayter) October 27, 2026 “Fun Fact: I wrote a huge Lost Planet movie for Warner Brothers in 2008, and then the entire financial world crashe...

Two Creators of the Original Doom Are Arguing About its History on Social Media

Image
The 1993 first-person shooter Doom is legendary. Its place in history is both untouchable and inarguable. The details of that history, though, are currently being debated on social media. Not by fans, mind you, but instead by two of the very people that created it. Doom co-creator John Romero and Doom level- and game-designer Sandy Petersen took to X (formerly Twitter) to dispute each other's recollection of the origin of Doom's groundbreaking DeathMatch PvP multiplayer mode. It started with Petersen posting a thread titled, "How Doom changed the world." He discussed his history in the video game industry prior to getting hired at id Software to work on Doom – specifically on a real-time strategy game released in 1990 called Command HQ, and how designer Danielle Bunten Berry "thought that since 65% of gamers had modems it would mostly be played head-to-head. It bombed. I think it had about 40,000 sales." That set up a memory he shared next about working on ...

Composer Austin Wintory Shares 22 Minutes of Music Created for BioWare's Canceled Mass Effect 5

Image
Composer Austin Wintory was once in talks to make music for Mass Effect 5. Now that EA has shuttered BioWare and canceled the game , he's released his drafts online. The award-winning composer behind Sword of the Sea, Journey, and a laundry list of other video games, movies, and shows revealed that he had been in talks to create music for the now-canceled Mass Effect revival in a post on social media. Whether he would have gone on to officially create music for what was in development under the name Mass Effect: Universe is unclear, but judging by the 22 minutes of audio published online for fans, it's clear there was some weight behind those early talks. Wintory called Mass Effect an "all-time dream project" that never came to be. Any hope to continue working on the series seems to have been dashed, which is why any drafts he managed to drum up can now be found on YouTube . It's yet another sneak peek at a project that will likely never see the light of day, and...

Mass Effect's Commander Shepard Actors, Destiny Community Help #SaveMassEffect Petition Cross 200,000 Signatures

Image
The #SaveMassEffect movement has picked up even more steam after videos from both Commander Shepard actors – and even posts from the Destiny community – helped its petition reach 200,000 signatures. It's been a whirlwind week for Mass Effect players and fans of the now-shuttered legendary RPG developer BioWare. After EA announced it would be closing the studio and canceling development for Mass Effect 5 , fans took action , and the result is something to behold. In the first weekend of the #SaveMassEffect movement and its accompanying petition, more than 200,000 verified users have offered their signature to the cause. That's thanks in part to the wild amount of social media attention it's garnered in just a few days, but two of its most prominent supporters have already been backing Mass Effect for decades.

Phantom Blade Zero Review

Image
Phantom Blade Zero has spent years looking almost too good to be true, especially coming from a studio that's best known for its mobile games. That’s why it's just about the biggest compliment I can pay it that after 50 hours performing picture-perfect kung fu, it's exactly as fun to play as it looks. This effortlessly smooth action game has some of the most satisfying and well-tuned combat I’ve played in a long time, a surprising number of secrets to discover and quests to complete in each of its beautiful levels, and a neverending supply of clever encounters full of unbelievably awesome moments. Its convoluted story and occasional performance issues may not live up to that incredible action, but it nails just about everything else, and there were only a handful of moments where I wasn’t absolutely thrilled to be slicing my way through the ranks of the Wulin. Phantom Blade Zero plays like something straight out of a wuxia epic. As a metal-as-hell martial artist of mysterio...
