Naman Ramachandran “Vikram Vedha,” starring Hrithik Roshan, Saif Ali Khan and Radhika Apte, is releasing worldwide in over 100 countries, making it one of the widest openings for a Bollywood film. Besides India, the film is releasing in territories where Bollywood films normally release day-and-date, including North America, U.K., the Middle East and Australia and New Zealand, on Sept. 30.

‘Sifu’ August update adds modifiers and new scoring system
28.08.2022 - 13:31 / nme.com
Sloclap’s 2022 action game Sifu is receiving an update later in August that will add modifiers, a scoring system and two new outfits to the game.A new trailer for the update gives us a look at the additions, with the free update releasing August 31. Some of these modifiers include changing the character’s health, a toggle for infinite structure (with structure dictating how many attacks can be blocked), the ability to turn off guarding, lowering the gravity, and weakening enemies.Essentially, it allows players to granularly change Sifu’s difficulty and settings in specific ways, as opposed to the previous difficulty update which added broader easier and harder options to the game.Meanwhile, the scoring system gives the game “deep and accurate new scoring mechanics”, as well as “improved dynamic multipliers” and high scores for each level.The outfit Enforce Armour is a Deluxe Edition exclusive, while Master Hand is available for all versions.
Master Hand equips the protagonist with a slick-looking white fedora that’ll fall off upon being hit, so the aim is to get through the levels without taking damage to keep it equipped.Sifu is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC. It’s noted that the game is a timed-exclusive, however, there is currently no word on a release date for other platforms at the time of publication.NME awarded Sifu five out of five stars, calling the game “an easy game of the year contender”, noting that it’s “as much a tightly told vendetta story as it is a masterful brawler.”In other news, Twitch streamer Jidion6 has criticised the platform for favouritism and sexism.
Setting ‘Scream 6′ in New York City Makes the Franchise ’20 Times More Mortifying… It’s Awful,’ Says Melissa Barrera
Zack Sharf The long-running “Scream” franchise is moving out of Woodsboro and coming to New York City for its upcoming sixth installment. It’s a creative decision that will make the franchise all the more terrifying, says cast member Melissa Barrera. No “Scream” film has ever been set in the big city. “It’s like 20 times more mortifying,” Barrera told Collider about setting the new “Scream” film in New York City. “It’s awful. Because you also see how, in a city like New York City, everyone is kind of doing their own thing and someone is screaming for help, and no one will come to their help.” Barrera continued, “No one comes to help them, you know, like, everyone’s kind of like, ‘I’m not getting into that.’ So it’s mortifying, because you’re chased by Ghostface, but you also see humanity and how that reacts in a situation like that. Anyway, I think I’ve already probably said too much.”
