In this week's Gaming Fun Fact we explore three wacky arcade machines. First up from 1976 is "Fonz" by Sega, based on the popular character from the hit TV show Happy Days. Second, we have Fire Truck by Atari (1978), that boasts the title of "first co-op arcade game." And finally, Police 911 (2000) that showcased immersive motion controls before the creation of things like the Kinect and the Wii.
The Borderlands Movie was a big flop in theatres but according to Take-Two it didn't hurt at all - if anything, it ended up helping with some game sales.
Sony has patented a game controller that has a rewind button on it. Likely you're thinking it's a button that simply rewinds a game by 30 seconds or so in the event of a player mistake, but the patent mentions quite a few interesting potential use cases including: a timeline of selectable past gameplay moments, reminders to players if they miss something (ie a quest item left in a room), and marked spots in time where the player could come back to their favorite moments of the game.
Mass Effect is on the way after the release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard - but the new game isn't the only thing on the way for fans of the franchise. A TV series is in the works alongside Amazon MGM Studios.
