In the first chapter of Signalis, you’ll need to find several keys to open an intricate door that uses a credit card slot-like unlocking mechanism. One of those keys, the fire key, is very tricky, as it involves solving a puzzle that mostly demands brute force. But with our fire key guide, you can apply a more gentle hand. We’ve done the hard part already. Here’s how to get the fire key in Signalis.

Signalis fire key location

As one of the six elemental keys you need to open the locked door on the second floor of the space vessel, the fire key is a main quest item you’ll need in order to beat the game. Each key in this area has a different solution, but the fire key is one of the trickiest of them because it’s locked away behind a classically obtuse puzzle.

To get the fire key, you’ll want to head into the room labeled Incinerator on the vessel’s third floor, the Medical Ward, where you’ll find the gas valve puzzle. In our playthrough, we didn’t find any documents hinting at the solution to this puzzle like we did with others, such as the Signalis safe codes, but we were able to make it through this section u…

After you’ve defeated Yang, the final boss of Sifu, there’s still unfinished business left to attend to. That’s because revenge is not the way of kung-fu, and defeating all of the game’s bosses does not give you the true secret ending. Instead, you must spare all of the people who killed your family, but the game doesn’t explicitly tell you how to do that. Here’s how to earn Sifu’s true ending and how to spare all bosses.

How to get the secret ending in Sifu

After you finish the game, you’ll be able to replay each stage and fight the bosses all over again. What you need to do is spare each boss instead of killing them. Sparing a boss will not only get you one step closer to the true ending, but each one rewards you with a special talisman. Below are the bosses and each corresponding talisman:

• Fajar – Wood Talisman
• Sean – Fire Talisman
• Kuroki – Water Talisman
• Jinfeng – Metal Talisman
• Yang – Earth Talisman

You can spare them in any order, so pick whichever boss…

The question of what actually constitutes humanity or sentience is one that has provided fodder for sci-fi and horror stories for decades. Even dating back to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstien, the idea of whether or not an “artificial” person was really a person is something we just love to explore every chance we get–with robots, or zombies, or clones, in modern day or in dystopian futures. But, even at their very best, the vast majority of these stories do have clear moral dividing lines–sure, the replicant, or the cyborg, or the clone monster may be scary or hard for us to control, but they’re still clearly sentient, right? Think about the robot uprising in Westworld or the tragedies of the Blade Runner franchise–sure, there’s plenty of complication (and murder) to go around, but the morality of murding or exploiting a bunch of “artificial” people is still pretty obviously in the wrong.

Enter AppleTV+’s new show, Severance.

In Severance, there are no clones, robots, cyborgs, or other manufactured people to debate the nature of humanity. There are no flying cars or amusement parks for rich jerks to live out their worst fantasies.…

In his time with the MCU, there seem to be two things we can say for sure about Mark Ruffalo: he likes playing the Hulk, and he often opens his mouth when he shouldn’t when it comes to Marvel Studios secrets. Now, Ruffalo is hinting that his character’s cousin She-Hulk might figure into future Avengers movies, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

While bantering with She-Hulk herself, actor Tatiana Maslany, at the premiere for She-Hulk: Attorney-at-Law, Ruffalo spilled beans that surprised even Maslany herself.

Maslany asked Ruffalo to “give [her] one year” of being the central Hulk, to which Ruffalo replied, “All right, you can have a year. No, she’s in now, there’s not going to be another Avengers without her.”

“What?” Maslany replied, with THR noting that the actor seemed surprised by this information.

“That’s what I’m hearing,” Ruffalo said.

As an original member of the MCU’s Avengers, Ruffalo is one of the longest-working actors at Marvel Studios, so he should have the inside scoop, right? Remember, though, that Ruffalo has a history of speaking out of turn when it comes to secret Marvel stuff; just type “Mark Ruffalo MCU spoilers” into your fa…

Rocket League Sideswipe, a mobile spin-off of developer Psyonix’s popular car soccer game on PC and console, kicks off its first season of content today.

The first season will come with its own free Rocket Pass, which will allow for cosmetic items to be unlocked by playing online matches. Psyonix explained that Competitive Ranks have been reset and players can play in Ranked Online Matches to receive rewards based on their highest Competitive Rank once Season 1 ends. Anyone who participated in pre-season activities will be rewarded with a title based on the rank that they received during this time.

Sony has updated the PlayStation 5, though the differences are so subtle you may have never noticed them. The new model is very slightly lighter than the original PS5, and it uses a new screw to attach the base stand that no longer requires the use of a screwdriver.

The Australian site Press Start noticed the models in the wild in the region, followed by Eurogamer finding them in the UK. According to those reports, the new model is roughly 0.6 pounds lighter than the original PS5 model, though it’s unclear what Sony may have changed about the production to make the weight difference. The more noticeable change from a consumer angle is the addition of a thumbscrew so you can adjust it by hand, whereas the previous model required a screwdriver.

The new PS5s are called by a new model number, CFI-1102A, as opposed to the originals, which were CFI-1000. We had previously heard about this revised model, but now it appears they’re going out into the wild, at least in some regions.

The stand is required to help the PS5 stand in place in either horizontal or vertical configuration due to its odd shape–though the system looks as if it could simply sit on its own if laid…

In 2023, the video game industry will see prices increase “across the board,” according to one analyst. Dr. Serkan Toto of Kantan Games said in an interview with GI.biz that fans should expect price hikes for games, hardware, and subscriptions as studios attempt to make up for rising costs.

“Not all studios have hiked prices to keep up with the rise of production and other costs in game development so far, but gamers are likely to see prices go up across the board in 2023,” Toto said.

Microsoft, for example, has already announced that it is raising prices on its AAA games in 2023 from $60 to $70. All of Microsoft’s games are also included with Xbox Game Pass, and some believe that subscription service will see a price increase, too.

Toto said of his predicted price increase, “I believe this trend will not only affect individual AAA titles but also subscriptions and hardware, especially from Microsoft.”

The Nintendo Switch, however, won’t see a price increase in 2023, Toto said. Things could change, however, if Nintendo releases new hardware, as has been rumored for some time.

In 2022, Sony raised the price of the PlayStation 5 in many places around …

The June update in Starfield has delivered a plethora of new content to the Settled Systems. One major part of that content is the new Trackers Alliance missions, which can be completed after joining the bounty-hunting faction. The first mission you can accept for the Trackers Alliance is called The Starjacker, which involves you hunting down a criminal named Hannibal. However, in order to find Hannibal, you first need to locate a man named Adrastos, who supposedly knows where the criminal is hiding.

You are tasked with locating Adrastos using the new bounty hunter scanning system in Starfield. However, the NPC still isn’t easy to find even with the scanner, so look at the guide below to see where Adrastos is located.

Adrastos Location in Starfield

After going through the Trackers Alliance HQ and meeting with Agent No. 1, you and your new partner Roach set out to find Adrastos. Roach says the informant is wandering the streets of Akila City and tells you to use the bounty-scanner to identify the target. To use the bounty-scanner, simply press the normal keybind for your scanner that you would use when looking for resources on a planet. With the scanner out, h…

Production is set to start in April on Return to Silent Hill, the latest installment in the franchise based on the popular Konami horror video games. According to a release, director Christophe Gans will return for the sequel, and Jeremy Irvine (War Horse) and Hannah Emily Anderson (Jigsaw, X-Men: Dark Phoenix) are set to star.
