Everyone relax, the Monster Hunter movie is here to save Hollywood

Yes, you read that headline right, Monster Hunter movie. The film adaptation (using that term very loosely) of the action-RPG game series has its first trailer, and it's a doozy.


Keeping things short and sweet, the 17-second teaser focuses on Milla Jovovich's Capt. Natalie Artemis and Clifford Harris Jr.'s Link as they encounter one of the titular monsters for the first time. The behemoth in question looks like the massive, fearsome Diablos, and of course, the solution to this threat is to try pumping bullets into it from a turret and assault rifle. Meagan Good and Diego Boneta make brief appearances, too.


The most eye-catching part is the big "Only In Theaters" at the end. In July, the flick was delayed from September 2020 to April 2021, but this claims December. Who knows? Either feels wrecklessly optimistic at this point. But maybe another movie from Paul W. S. Anderson, the director behind most of the live-action Resident Evil films, is just what everyone needs. The plot involves the military squad we see here magically transported to the land of monsters and hunting, whereby they meet a group of actual hunters, featuring cinematic martial-arts legend Tony Jaa, of the Ong-Bak trilogy, and Ron Perlman. Jaa with the over-the-top action of the aforementioned Resi films makes this very alluring, to be honest.

Fatalis, the Legendary Black Dragon, storms into Monster Hunter World: Iceborne

Hunters of the Fifth Fleet, it’s time to pay a visit to a historical site, and confront a living legend…

[Fatalis, the Legendary Black Dragon]

Passed down from generation to generation as just a legend, Fatalis is said to have wiped out an entire kingdom overnight. Such power and potential makes for very scary stories, but little evidence was ever made available. However, the Guild has now confirmed the return of this mythical Elder Dragon; it’s heading straight to Castle Schrade to finish what it had started.
Hunters, make sure you bring out your best gear and keep your wits about you venturing into this quest. Weapons from the castle’s last stand are still available—hopefully functional—and you’ll need all the help you can get to fend off the Legendary Black Dragon… and survive to tell the tales.

NOTE: Before you can take on the Special Assignment to hunt Fatalis, you must be MR 24 or higher, have completed at least the Safi’jiiva Recon Assignment, and have encountered Alatreon in its Special Assignment at least once.


[Fall Seasonal Event – Fun Fright Fest]

Our next seasonal event in Iceborne will be all about monsters. No, not the ones you hunt in Quests; we’re talking creatures of darkness… demons, succubus, and ghosts!
But don’t worry! These aren’t real. At least not in Astera or Seliana anyway. So we’re decking out the Seliana Gathering Hub with sinister new décor and tuning the music selection to “spooky.” We invite you to partake in the activities and, if you’re brave enough, try out our new seasonal food platter. Its nutritional value is a mystery worth the dare.
And as per tradition, we’ll feature a plethora of items to craft and collect: Armor Sets, Layered Armor, Weapon Pendants, Palico Gear, a Poogie Outfit and more!
Fun Fright Fest will run from October 16 until November 5 UTC.


[Arch-Tempered Velkhana]

Another Arch-Tempered Elder Dragon was just spotted on the horizon. This time, it’s none other than the flagship monster of Iceborne, Velkhana! Get ready to brave the harsh conditions of the Hoarfrost Reach once more and face off against the extremely powerful Arch-Tempered Velkhana.
Those who manage to vanquish this ruthless Elder Dragon will be awarded a special Weapon Pendant and materials to craft the versatile Velkhana γ (gamma) armor set.
Arch-Tempered Velkhana Event Quest will be live from October 16 UTC until November 5 UTC.


[Street Fighter V Collaboration Quests]

Here come new challengers! Ryu and Sakura make their way into Steam as Full Armor Sets and Layered Armor, part of special limited time Challenge Quests (special quests that take place in the Arena and offer you preset equipment choices). Fight hard and come out victorious in these quests to craft these fierce Full Armor Sets:

“Down the Dark, Muddy Path”
“Empress in Full Bloom” (I, II, III)
“The Awakened Satsui No Hado” (I, II, III)

And if you’re looking for Layered version of these outfits, you’ll want to complete these two Event Quests as well:

“When Blue Dust Surpasses Red Lust”
“The Heralds of Destruction Cry”

Street Fighter V Collaboration Challenge Quests will be available from October 1 UTC until November 5 UTC.


[Clutch Claw Boost]

With the arrival of new threats, Hunters must ready themselves as best as they can to stand a chance. And to help nudge the odds in your favor, we’re adding a new armor skill, called Clutch Claw Boost.
This handy new skill will allow heavy weapons (Great Sword, Hammer, Hunting Horn, Lance, Switch Axe, Charge Blade, Heavy Bowgun) to also draw slinger ammo from monsters—similar to what light weapons are capable of doing—while tenderizing a monster’s hide with their Clutch Claw weapon attack.
Conversely, light weapons (Long Sword, Sword & Shield, Dual Blades, Gunlance, Insect Glaive, Light Bowgun, Bow) will also benefit from this skill by tenderizing monsters’ hides with a single Clutch Claw weapon attack, while also drawing slinger ammo.


[Master Rank Layered Armor]

Calling all Fashion Hunters! The feature you’ve been waiting for is finally here. As of this latest update, Master Rank armor sets will now be available to craft as Layered Armor! Some sets will be tied to upcoming Event Quest rewards, but most sets are now available for crafting, mixing and matching. Now’s your time to shine: go, and become the Master Fashion Hunters!


[Elder Melder Decorations]

Good news for Hunters looking for some rare Decorations: the Elder Melder will now be able to craft some especially elusive jewels:

- Elementless Jewel 2
- Shield Jewel 2
- Sharp Jewel 2
- Dragonseal Jewel 3
- Mighty Bow Jewel 2
- Mind’s Eye Jewel 2

Dinosaur games: the best dino games on PC in 2020

Looking for a list of the best dinosaur games on PC in 2020? Whether you're looking to hunt the Mesozoic monsters or want to stomp and chomp humans while playing as them, the appeal of dinosaurs in gaming is endless. What is endless, however, is the number of games that successfully realise that fantasy. Let's be honest: until recently, fans of dinosaurs and big guns haven't exactly walked the primrose path, even on PC.


It's been a long hard road, marked by velociraptors that look like lumpy dogs, rifles that feel as satisfying as lobbing a bullet by hand, and jeeps that seem to magnetically roll themselves into a nearby ditch, no matter what keys to press. Still, the undeniable lure of blasting a T-Rex in the face with a grenade launcher continues to resonate with a great portion of the gaming public, and while few triple-A developers have proffered quality dino games, there are a few ambitious indie dinosaur games that fill the gap in the market.


If dino thrills are what you're looking for, here are the best dinosaur games on PC.
