Kirk Cousins and Linval Joseph helped the Minnesota Vikings beat the Eagles 23-21 Sunday in a rematch of last season’s NFC championship game featuring two teams struggling to find an identity. Carson Wentz and the rest of the struggling Eagles (2-3) have a short turnaround this week and get a chance to snap a two-game losing streak on Thursday night at the New York Giants (1-4). “Getting back on the field is a good remedy,” coach Doug Pederson said....

“I fully expect and anticipate Alshon, you know, to (be available),” Pederson said (via ESPN). “He was limited yesterday and hopefully he can go full today and be ready to go. … DeSean is probably a little further away. His injury is a little bit more week to week and so he’s probably not going to be there this week.” Jeffery, 29, is dealing with a calf strain and missed Philadelphia’s 27-24 loss to the Lions last week....

Philadelphia will follow that with three picks on Day 2, a second-rounder and two third-rounders, the last of which comes from the Carson Wentz trade with the Colts. The team closes with seven picks on Day 3, with four coming well after No. 200 overall. Here’s how Sporting News projects the draft playing out for the Eagles over all seven rounds: MORE NFL DRAFT: Complete 7-round mock | Top 100 big board...

A swatch of information about the upcoming game hit recently. Techland shared quite a bit of its plans when it comes to details like the size of Dying Light 2’s map. It turns out users will be able to run around what appears to be a pretty massive world. When they are running around that rather large map, they will apparently run into quite a few colorful characters. Unfortunately, once players meet those characters, they won’t be able to get them to take up their cause, at least for long periods of time....

Farrow’s comments came hours after Grand Central Publishing, a division of Hachette, announced that it plans to release Allen’s memoir on April 7. In her statement, Farrow criticized the publisher’s parent company for deciding to print the book, calling it a “betrayal” of her brother Ronan Farrow, who has published many articles and books bringing sexual assault and misconduct to light, including 2019’s Catch and Kill, which was published by Hachette imprint Little, Brown and Company....

With Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, publisher Square Enix looks to be returning to the acclaimed cyberpunk series’ roots. Jean-Francois Dugas, the game’s director over at developer Eidos Montreal, has confirmed that the science fiction title can be completed without killing anyone, bringing the franchise’s hacking and stealth-based gameplay back to the fore. Meanwhile, it’s clear that an impressive amount of work has gone into creating the title’s nightmarish future of biotech and oppression....

We were given more information on exactly how the game would play at last year’s E3 conference, but that made it clear just how big the developers at Hello Games were thinking. We were also told that the title would launch on PlayStation 4 as a console exclusive, with a PC version following afterwards, but that is no longer the case. Speaking at this year’s conference, director Sean Murray stated that the game’s PC release will take place on the very same day as its PlayStation 4 launch....

The partnership between Marvel and EA does not come as a significant surprise. In late September, EA and Marvel announced the development of a single-player Iron Man game at Motive Studios, the team behind the upcoming Dead Space remake. The Iron Man project was confirmed to be early in development, so is unlikely to be released for years yet. EA also confirmed that more Marvel games would be developed in the future....

CEO of EA, Andrew Wilson, spoke briefly about the donation, expressing gratitude to the players for their support. According to Wilson, 5.7 million players came out of the woodwork to participate in the Play to Give event that was held between June 2nd and June 4th. The event tasked players with participating in specific challenges within EA games like FIFA 17 and Battlefield 1. With the event now concluded, EA is designating its $1 million dollar donation toward Ditch the Label, PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center and HeForShe, which all work toward bringing attention to and ending bullying and gender inequality....

Ultimately, the two lawsuits are very similar, with both claiming that Electronic Arts’ sales projections, and other statements regarding Battlefield 4, did not represent the company’s full knowledge. These plaintiffs believe EA was well aware there were significant problems with Battlefield 4, and misled their investors with false praise for the product. As we all know, Battlefield 4 has been a very touchy subject among gamers these past few weeks....

Overall, it’s a very typical job listing for such a position. However, there is one bullet point in the “Skills We Look For” section of the listing that is likely referencing Ripple Effect’s game. The skill is “Military gear & hardware knowledge a plus....

The Battlefield franchise has often been seen as an alternative to Call of Duty. While both games are first-person shooters, they do have plenty of differences, with Battlefield often having a larger scale in terms of the skirmishes players find themselves in. However, recently the Battlefield franchise has produced some entries that haven’t been received well. Battlefield 5 faced criticism for its depiction of WW2, while Battlefield 2042 received backlash for its bugs and glitches at launch....

It was all the way back in 2013 that Electronic Arts first announced it was ending one of the most popular sports game series. At the time, the company claimed they were ending its successful run because it was embroiled in a battle over name and likeness rights with several players depicted in-game. Now that it’s officially back, even if it’s going to look and likely feel a little different, the franchise’s return timed this news perfectly....

With no promotional assets for the game, EA Sports has reportedly delayed the release of “NBA Live 20.” Polygon noticed in EA’s financial report for the year that “NBA Live” is listed in the third fiscal quarter. This places the game with a release date somewhere between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31. Last year, the game was released Sept. 7. An October release means the game would come a full month after the release of “NBA2K20,” which would presumably really hurt sales....

Wentz had a chance to lead the Colts to a playoff berth in Week 18. All he had to do was win against the Jaguars, who entered the week with the NFL’s worst record at 2-14. However, Wentz couldn’t lead the team to victory. The Jaguars shocked the Colts, earning a 26-11 win during which they never trailed. Wentz had a rocky outing and went 17 of 29 passing for 185 yards, one touchdown and two turnovers (one interception and one fumble)....

The franchise wrote that Jackson had been spoken to about his posts, and that he should not only apologize but use his accounts to “promote unity, equality, and respect.” Also in its statement, the organization criticized Jackson’s decision to share the quote and said it was “disappointed” in him for doing so. “Regardless of his intentions, the messages he shared were offensive, harmful, and absolutely appalling. They have no place in our society, and are not condoned or supported in anyway by the organization,” the Eagles said in the statement....
