The now-deleted footage was posted on Odysee and shared by VentureBeat journalist Jeff Grubb. According to Grubb, the footage shows that EA is trying to get the “feel” right of this new Skate installment, and the focus appears to be on the fluidity of the animation. “This is Skate 4 pre-alpha footage”, Grubb posted on Twitter. “This is in line with what I’ve heard about where the game is at from multiple people....

Obviously, the fresh news of Bungie’s acquisition for $3.6 billion factors heavily into this list. Other than Bungie’s new game, though, Sony might be referring to the long-awaited The Last of Us multiplayer standalone game inspired by Factions, the announced projects being worked on by partner teams like Deviation Games, Haven, Firewalk Studios, in addition to Sony’s internal teams like Insomniac Games, Guerrilla Games, Firesprite, and London Studio. Sony also provided an update on PlayStation 5 sales....

Well, Microsoft has now fired back, and their response to Sony is rather withering (thanks to ResetEra user Iras for the translation of some of these quotes). Microsoft rightfully points out that they’ve committed to still releasing Call of Duty on PlayStation platforms, and thus Sony’s real concern is that they don’t want the Game Pass subscription model disrupting their dominance when it comes to traditional boxed and digital game sales....

Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) are ready to launch the fifth operational mission of the latter’s Commercial Crew Program (CCP) to the International Space Station (ISS) at noon Eastern Time later today. The launch comes after SpaceX fixed minor problems with its rocket and spacecraft, and it will launch a crew of four to the orbiting science laboratory. Officially dubbed Crew-5, the mission marks the first time a female astronaut will command a SpaceX-NASA mission and the first time a Russian cosmonaut flies to the ISS on a private American spacecraft....

After a successful splashdown of the Orion spacecraft in the Pacific Ocean, NASA Administrator and former Senator Bill Nelson shared that his agency plans to go to Mars by the end of 2030. Senator Nelson struck an upbeat tone after NASA had a great Artemis 1 mission, and the remarks were made during a post-splashdown press conference, in which he also shared details for SpaceX’s Starship lunar lander. The event was attended by several agency officials, including Michael Sarafin, NASA’s Artemis 1 mission manager, who shared his final thoughts on Orion’s performance as it entered the Earth at breakneck speeds for a successful landing....

A SpaceX rocket that was on its way to the company’s facilities in Hawthorne California met an accident when its trailer truck tried to pass under a bridge with low ground clearance. The company’s Falcon 9 rocket is used by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for the agency’s crew and cargo missions to the International Space Station (ISS), and the rocket in question was intended to fly NASA astronauts to the orbiting space laboratory as part of the agency’s Crew-5 mission....

Well, the Embracer Group has released their latest financial results (and a long list of new acquisitions) and, reading between the lines a bit, it seems there’s some good news and bad news regarding the Knights of the Old Republic remake. While Embracer doesn’t specifically name the project, they admit that a major AAA project has transitioned to a new developer under the Embracer umbrella. This is almost certainly the KOTOR remake....

Update 1.03 introduces, among other things, lighting enhancements that improve visibility in certain dungeons. The update also introduces dynamic resolution scaling on PlayStation 4 and new automatic dismantling options. The new Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin also introduces some gameplay tweaks regarding break damage, enemy strength, and more. The full patch notes are only available in Japanese as of now, but you can find an English translation of the notes below which has been provided by Reddit user kiryubluntz....

The video, which has been put together by Cycu1, highlights how lighting has changed the most between the pre-release and the final version of the game developed by BlueTwelve studio. Some details in the environments are also different, such as the vegetation in the very first sequence that is absent in the final release. All these changes, however, don’t feel much like downgrades, as Stray manages to look quite good even in the final release....

The upcoming fighting title has been rated fit for 15-year-olds by the Korean Rating Board, and while this doesn’t necessarily mean that the game will be released soon, it might suggest that a release announcement isn’t that far off from now. In general, games receive their ratings close to release. Capcom has yet to announce the game’s release date officially, and we only know that the publisher is planning to launch the game somewhere next year....

Speaking with IGN Japan, director Takayuki Nakayama and producer Shuhei Matsumoto talked at length about the game’s development and some of the features revealed so far, such as the aforementioned World Tour Mode. This mode, as the name implies, will bring players all over the world, and Metro City will only be the first stage, as the developer did not want to just depict America in it. World Tour mode will also be a mode aimed at those who like the series’ world and characters, and may not be particularly interested in playing competitively....

Two students at Southern Methodist University in Dallas create a desktop supercomputer using sixteen NVIDIA Jetson Nano modules The university received outside funding to design the desktop Jetson Nano supercomputer. This tiny supercomputer created by the two students is roughly the size of a standard desktop PC tower, which was built to educate students about the inner workings of a computer cluster. The Jetson cluster took four months of learning and labor to be designed and created, and the students were educated on networking....

Studio Display Supports the New iPad Air 5 But Not iPad Air 4 While not all iPad models with a USB-C port are supported, some users are wondering what the reason might be. The reason why the Studio Display supports the iPad Pro models is that their USB-C ports feature 10Gbps throughput, also called USB 2.1 Gen 2. The iPad Air 4 and iPad mini 6, only feature a USB 3....

The absurd thing is that Super Auto Pets is in such an early stage of development; the iOS version should be released in three days from my writing this sentence. Version 0.16 is the current version on Steam, having dropped recently, and I’m not sure which version the Android version is, but it’s the same game. If you start a battle on Steam, you can carry right on where you left off on Android....

The embattled crypto exchange FTX appeared destined to become insolvent yesterday when Binance declined to infuse some much-needed cash into the ailing entity, dragging the entire crypto sector as well as high-beta US growth stocks into the proverbial shitter. While a ray of hope for FTX has since then emerged, the underlying dynamics for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies continue to deteriorate as negative momentum is now unleashing a cascade of second-order effects....

what do you think? pic.twitter.com/IV9tZZqULW — Naughty Dog Central (@NaughtyNDC) September 5, 2022 As you can see, the art seems to show various fantasy creatures (dragons, unicorns, ect.) and female warriors. Adding a bit more fuel to the fire, back in 2021 Naughty Dog’s senior concept artist Hyoung Nam posted images of several female warrior types to their ArtStation, originally under the title “The Women of North.” Nam would write these off as a tribute to Assassin’s Creed Valhalla (even though they appear to have little to do with that game), but they now seem potentially more meaningful given the fantasy art found in TLOU Part I....

Thankfully, HBO Chief Content Officer Casey Bloys delivered some good news for fans in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, where he said that The Last of Us will begin airing on HBO in early 2023. That means we’ll be able to watch the retelling of Ellie and Joel’s acclaimed story in a little over six months or so, barring any unforeseen delays. As a reminder, though, The Last of Us creator Neil Druckmann (who is writing the adaptation alongside Chernobyl’s Craig Mazin) explained that the story might deviate greatly in certain aspects....
