Behaviour Interactive is reverting Dead By Daylight’s healing system change following player feedback. Behaviour figured that the change – which saw the time to heal slowed from 16 to 24 seconds – would be contentious, and said that it would keep “an extra close eye on this change to see how it would play out”. “After reviewing player feedback, we found that many of you agreed that the speed which you heal others was already in a good spot prior to the update,” the team explained in an update. “This change also had knock-on effects elsewhere in the game, making…

Last year was the 40th anniversary of John Carpenter’s The Thing. Despite being released in 1982, this alien invasion movie of psychotic paranoia still holds up to this day, due to its unnerving story and near timeless practical effects. Strangely, despite its success and cult-like status – and despite an intriguing prequel in 2011 – The Thing never received a proper sequel. Or did it?

It’s not considered canon, but that doesn’t stop it from being a fascinating artefact…
