Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Comes to Disney+

2023/10/10

Geek News, Movie News, News

The feature film that started it all, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” comes to Disney+ in a beautiful 4K restoration October 16, in celebration of The Walt Disney Company’s 100th anniversary. This restored version of the 1937 classic is the result of the combined efforts of the Walt Disney Studios Restoration and Preservation team, working closely with key artists from Walt Disney Animation Studios, the same team who recently worked together on the critically-acclaimed restoration of Walt Disney’s 1950 animated classic, “Cinderella.”

Disney Animation artists Michael Giaimo (production designer for the upcoming animated musical adventure “Wish,” as well as “Frozen” and “Frozen 2”) and animator/director Eric Goldberg (head of hand-drawn animation for Disney Animation’s newest short, “Once Upon A Studio,” director, “Pocahontas,” “Fantasia/2000”) were honored to re-team with their colleagues at Walt Disney Studios on the project.

“The opportunity to help restore Snow White was both an honor and a challenge,” said Goldberg. “As the very first Walt Disney feature, Mike Giaimo and I felt we owed a debt to history to get it looking as beautiful, and as accurate to the original colors, as we could. The muted palette and the delicate watercolor backgrounds evoke the illustrated fairy tales that Walt so loved, and the story and characters continue to resonate to this day. I hope our work inspires future generations of animation artists to fully appreciate the masterful talent and care that has gone into this landmark film.”

Kevin Schaeffer, director of Restoration for Walt Disney Studios, said. “We are incredibly excited to go back to Walt’s original negative and use current state of the art technology to restore this stunning classic to its original beauty.”

“Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” stands as one of the greatest triumphs in animation history, as the first full-length cel animated feature in the history of motion pictures. The film was recognized by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences with a special honorary Oscar® – one large Oscar accompanied by seven smaller ones – which was presented to Walt Disney by Shirley Temple. The film is the highest-ranked animated feature on the American Film Institute’s “100 Years…100 Movies” list, and was inducted into the National Film Registry in the registry’s inaugural year, 1989.

UNITED 1944 – Survivor Mode Gameplay Overview

2023/10/10

Geek News, News, Trailers / Videos, Windows PC News

After a very successful beta playtest that kicked off in late September, developer Novarama is once again opening the doors to its crafting and building-oriented WWII shooter for an even longer time. Steam Next Fest kicks off today, and with it, we call everyone to the fight starting now and lasting until the celebrations end on October 16. The new Survivors mode, just introduced last month but quickly loved by players, makes a return, and we have an overview video if you haven’t watched it yet:

The classic domination matches are here. Squad up in 16v16 battles in the WWII theaters of France, where the push inward of the Allies was at its peak after D-Day, and of North Africa, where battles for control of large regions had an important effect in changing the tide of war. You’ll be scavenging for resources, fortifying bases, defending outposts, crafting your gear and fighting the enemy in WWII battles that aim to be realistic yet rooted in fun gameplay.

The recently introduced Survivors mode, which brings an extraction experience to the game, also makes a return after a very positive reception from players. This mode takes the scavenging and open construction approach to a whole new level of tension. It’s a dog-eat-dog world: everyone is an enemy, and your only means of staying alive is what you can find around you. Look for resources, explore the city, and set up improvised bases anywhere as you fight for survival. Build, raid, kill, steal, scavenge, and destroy as you need for survival. Play for as long as you want, do your best to stay standing, and extract with as much loot as you’re capable of. Will you become a survivor of World War II… or will your bones be buried forever in this city?

The online demo runs for a full week during the entirety of Steam Next Fest, starting now and ending on Monday October 16 at 10 am PDT. Servers will be located in Europe, North America, and Asia to ensure that all players in these regions get a smooth experience in the battle trenches. This time, you won’t need to request access if you’re new to UNITED 1944, as you can simply download the demo from the game’s Steam page and go straight into battle after a short bootcamp session to teach you the basics.

Twitch drops make a return this time, and everyone watching creators streaming the game during Steam Next Fest will be able to get a weapon charm and a character outfit.

Foxhole: Naval Warfare Expands The Fight From Land to Sea

Siege Camp has officially unveiled the next major update for the massively multiplayer war game, Foxhole. After countless operations on land, the war effort will expand to the seas on October 26th with the upcoming update, Naval Warfare. Step onto the decks of battleships, invade distant shores in high-stakes beach landings, and conquer new island-based territories with thousands of players.

Naval Warfare will engage players in full-fledged naval battles. Across Gunboats, Destroyers, and awe-striking Battleships, soldiers will climb aboard player-built fleets with dozens of players on deck simultaneously. Deliver ammunition, launch depth charges, and deploy sea mines, all while maintaining and regulating ship systems, such as the engines, sonar, and navigation. Players must band together both above and below deck to outmaneuver enemy vessels.

Prepare for intense fleet battles, where moment to moment decisions can be the difference between victory and defeat. Individual ship subsections can be targeted and destroyed causing compartments to become flooded. In the heat of battle, seawater must be bailed out and leaks repaired to stay afloat. The largest threats may loom unseen, as submarines can ambush convoys and thwart naval invasions before they begin. Coordination and communication will be vital when balancing the many hazards that await players in the depths.

The scope and scale of the persistent world has been expanded with the return of water-based regions. Storm beaches with amphibious landing crafts and construct portable harbors to support troops as they fight their way through enemy bunkers, trenches, and emplacements. Logistics forces have also been upgraded with new vessels for sea-based operations and towable field weapons provide increased mobility. This expanded naval game, combined with island warfare, sets the stage for enthralling new campaigns that now span both land and sea.

Naval Warfare simply marks the next chapter of Foxhole. Siege Camp will continue to redefine the massively multiplayer genre across both Foxhole and the upcoming Anvil Empires.
