Helldivers 2 (https://www.vg247.com/games/helldivers-2) is and has always been one big parody of itself narrative wise, with Arrowhead playing into the absurdity that comes with all of its Starship Troopers-esque declarations of patriotic fervour. The game’s community has bought into this in pretty hilarious roleplaying style (https://www.vg247.com/helldivers-2-role-playing) plenty of times, but its latest instance might be the most unexpected yet.First of all, you’ve no doubt heard about the whole backlash that’s been going on to some of the the Escalation of Freedom update’s balancing changes, which Arrowhead’s now issued a whole plan in response to (https://www.vg247.com/helldivers-2-arrowhead-addresses-escalation-of-freedom-update-backlash-60-day-plan). Well, that snowballed into an in-game protest from frustrated players attempting to let the Automatons reach Super Earth (https://www.vg247.com/helldivers-2-players-are-letting-the-automatons-win-in-protest-of-recent-update) in the game’s galactic war, and said protest’s now taken on a whole life of its own.If you head to the Helldivers 2 subreddit today, you’ll likely see a bunch of posts (https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1et34oe/we_are_here/) mentioning a group known as the “Chaosdivers”, with this seemingly being the name players have come up with for the movement among them which wants to see Super Earth fall, having lost faith in the original Helldivers’ cause.

The team behind Skyblivion (https://www.vg247.com/topics/skyblivion), the massive modding project that’s remaking The Elder Scrolls IV (https://www.vg247.com/games/the-elder-scrolls-iv-oblivion) - yep, the one where everyone’s faces look a bit hilarious - in Skyrim (https://www.vg247.com/games/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim)’s engine, has just shared some fresh quest gameplay. There’s a bit of Mages Guild, a bit of a scuffle on a farm, and all of it looks pretty great, aside from the odd bug.Right off the bat in this latest showcase, the Skyblivion devs provided an update on how development is progressing, with the video’s narrator revealing that things are still on track for the 2025 release date the group has previously set.So, what’ve we gotten a look at this time around? Well, two classic Oblivion quests, in the form of Fingers of the Mountain and The Killing Field, with the latter looking to have been renamed to Killing Fields.

Far too often, blockbusters fall flat because they've been over-tweaked or straight-up reassembled in post-production. While reshoots had always been a common part of the filmmaking process, they've now sort of become this 'crutch' for productions that hadn't figured out a concrete plan before heading into principal photography. More specifically, many comic book movies have been affected by this approach (https://www.vg247.com/marvel-slowing-down-output-to-a-couple-of-films-and-series-a-year), yet James Gunn's efforts, both for Marvel and DC, haven't been hurt by it.According to the writer-director, on Threads (via Variety (https://variety.com/2024/film/news/james-gunn-superman-reshoots-not-likely-1236104112/)), behind three Guardians of the Galaxy movies, one miniseries (I Am Groot), one holiday special, a Suicide Squad 'requel' of sorts, and a spinoff series (Peacemaker (https://www.vg247.com/peacemaker-season-2-getting-new-opening-dance-number)), the secret is to simply... make sure that as much as possible is up to snuff before shooting. Sounds simple, right? Well, it seems like not everyone can or wants to figure that out.The filmmaker, who's now busy with post-production on both Peacemaker season two and his Superman reboot (https://www.vg247.com/the-superman-costume-reveal-brings-back-old-drama) for the new on-screen DC continuity he's shepherding, simply stated he'd "done a total of one day of reshoots on my past two films combined." Considering Superman is still in the early post-production part of the process, we think he's just referring to the Guardians of the Galaxy threequel and The Suicide Squad, the movie that earned him (alongside Peacemaker) the role of head of DC Studios.
