Not content with just having awesome combat, Battlefield 1 has a story to tell
Most of us here at Stuff Towers are suckers for a good story. That’s probably got something to do with the fact that we all write a heck of a lot and stories… are kind of what we do. And an unlikely story seems to be on the way from Battlefield 1, the game with the horses and the trains and the shooting people across the map during WWI. Seriously, the story trailer for Battlefield 1 now has us about as excited as we were for the multiplayer and that’s taken some doing. Part of it is that the stories look like they might actually be well-rounded (at least, as far as we can judge from this trailer) but we’re not so sure that so many things exploded in World War One… either way, though. Battlefield 1 drops on 21 October. Guess we’re taking the week off, then.

There’s another Pirates of the Caribbean on the horizon (and we’re totally going to watch it)
So you though they were done, did you? Since the last Pirates of the Caribbean film was released in 2011, you can be forgiven for thinking so. But the Disney machine must be fed and that means we’re getting a new films next year, subtitled Dead Men Tell No Tales. Except, if you watch the trailer above, you’ll notice that the dead men in question seem quite… chatty. When they’re not being incredibly homicidal, that is. Let’s cut things a little short. Returning to take on this new ghostly crew, which is being led by on Captain Salazar, are Johnny Depp (as Captain Jack) and Orlando Bloom (looks like Will Turner is back too). Expect the next film to launch some time around May, 2017.
