Apple Original Films this week released a trailer for its upcoming "F1" racing film. In the film, Brad Pitt stars as an F1 driver who was an up-and-coming talent in the 1990s, until an accident on the track nearly ended his career. Thirty years later, Pitt is invited to join a former teammate's struggling F1 team, in a last-shot bid to save the team and become the best in the world. It looks to be a classic underdog story. The film is directed by Joseph Kosinski, who is known for other popular a...

The new update for Square Enix’s critically acclaimed MMORPG is a big one, and looks to deliver the long-form content that players have been asking for.

"It's extraordinarily demanding."

Ted Lasso is returning to Apple TV+ for a fourth season, series star Jason Sudeikis has confirmed (via The Radio Times). In an interview on the New Heights podcast, Sudeikis admitted that he will be reprising his role once again as the show's titular character, and said that the fourth instalment is currently being written. It's not yet known when the new season will be ready. As for where the storyline is going, Sudeikis revealed: "Ted's coaching a women's team, so there, that's it." It's been ...

Fans of damp tunnels and chatty skeletons may have enjoyed Lunacid, a first-person dungeon crawler which left early access in October 2023. Sin called it “lo-fi first-person dungeon skulking done right” and suggested that it “could well earn a place in some best of the year lists”. (It didn’t appear on ours, but in fairness, that was the year Baldur's Gate 3 devoured everybody’s brain.) Lunacid takes copious inspiration from Dark Souls developer FromSoftware’s old Shadow Tower and King’s Field g...

Pokémon Go looks set to let you increase the stats of your Pokémon, fans say, after code snippets relating to the feature were spotted in a fresh datamine.

One of the best things you can do for your online security is to make sure you have a robust, unique password on every single one of your accounts. But not many of us have the ability to memorize the login details for so many different services if the credentials are as strong as they ought to be. Using a password manager can make all of that much easier. Our favorite, 1Password, is on sale for up to 50 percent off. The 1Password for Families plan is half off at $2.49 per month for one year.

A new day dawns. Atelier has always been one of the more niche JRPG franchises out there, but it started to gain much more widespread appeal with the significant success of the Ryza trilogy over the past few years. Now that Gust has closed the book on Ryza’s adventures (for now, anyway…), it’s come time to see if they can maintain that momentum and successfully pass the baton to a new leading lady to act as the face of the franchise. We’d say that it’s been largely successful in that endeavour. ...

What is a thriller, anyway? It’s a genre that lacks the typical signifiers that something like horror, comedy, or romance might, but you know it when you feel it. Thrillers are exciting — it’s right there in the name — whether they come from the world of crime, sci-fi, or something else entirely. We’ve already...

Trek across Zhelejov and Kuttenberg to find the barber locations.

It may be bright and pretty, but that backlight resolution is still super small.

It's been a while since Konami teased Silent Hill f, a mainline game in the franchise that's set in 1960s rural Japan instead of the titular town. Now, the publisher has released a full trailer for the much-awaited game at an online event livestreamed on YouTube. Konami's Motoi Okamoto, who's in charge of the Silent Hill franchise, said the theme of the game is finding "beauty in terror," which is common in Japanese horror. He explained that when something is too beautiful and perfect, it become...

The Final Fantasy series has now sold over 200m copies across the globe.

Let's rock, let's rock today. While it was rumoured for more months than we care to remember, the wait for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4's 11th July release date still feels like a long one. Fortunately, Spotify is here to make things a little bit easier. The streaming service has given us our first look at the upcoming bundle's soundtrack, and it looks every bit as rocking as you would hope. Alongside some returning classics like Motörhead's 'Ace of Spades' and 'Amoeba' by Adolescents, 3 + 4 wil...

It would have been really easy to miss it, but Apple last year briefly mentioned a new PayPal feature coming to the Wallet app on the iPhone. In an October 2024 press release, celebrating the 10-year anniversary of Apple Pay, Apple announced that iPhone users in the U.S. would be able to see their PayPal balance when using their PayPal debit card in the Wallet app. Apple said this feature would launch in 2025, so it should arrive in a future iOS 18 or iOS 19 update. Here is exactly what Apple sa...

Second-hand gaming specialist CEX now lets you order items on JustEat.

The company behind Roomba robovacs told investors earlier this week that revenue was substantially down and it’s struggling to pay its debts. Amazon was briefly tapped to acquire the robot company iRobot, but the threat of a European Commission investigation led to the retailer terminating the deal — apparently happy enough to pay off the $94 million termination fee. That, however, isn’t enough to tackle the $200 million loan iRobot took out to survive long enough for Amazon to come to the rescu...

I've always had a soft spot for Valorant. While Overwatch was my first real experience of FPS games, Riot's flagship shooter always felt like a bit of a step up. The gunplay was more reminiscent of Counter-Strike, rewarding tactical planning and pure skill, and the abilities - while useful - felt secondary to the overall gameplay. But as the roster has expanded and utility has gotten wackier and, oftentimes, more OP, it feels like once-clutch firefights can be won with a single good ability vers...

Konami have given us our first proper look at Silent Hill f, a new incarnation of the survival horror series from Hong Kong-based Neobards Entertainment, which takes place in 1960s Japan. You are Shimizu Hinako, a schoolgirl equipped with the trademark Silent Hill combo of a broken-off pipe and a cartload of psychological baggage, whose hometown Ebisugaoka is engulfed by a monstrous fog. The choice of a non-US setting has ruffled the plumage of players who cherish Silent Hill's association with ...

When RCS messaging became available on the iPhone with the rollout of iOS 18, the technical director of the GSM Association teased that the next major milestone for the messaging standard is the addition of interoperable end-to-end encryption. Now, six months later, GSMA has released an updated set of specifications for RCS messaging, which includes end-to-end encryption (E2EE) based on the Messaging Layer Security (MLS) protocol. The new RCS profile will ensure that messages and files remain sa...

DC Comics and Sega have released a first look at their Justice League and Sonic the Hedgehog comic book series, including Sonic dressed as The Flash and Shadow as Batman.

I'm definitely getting slower with every passing year, so no worries there.

Two human rights groups have filed a legal complaint with the UK's Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT) in an attempt to quash the UK government's demand for Apple to allow backdoor access to its encrypted data (via Financial Times). Earlier this year, the UK government invoked the Investigatory Powers Act to demand that Apple create a backdoor granting secret access to encrypted user data stored in iCloud globally. However, Apple refused to comply. In response, rather than granting the requested...

It's both a great and bad week for Apple. In this episode, we dive into Devindra's review of the excellent M4-equipped MacBook Air (and briefly chat about the new Mac Studio). We also discuss Apple's surprise announcement that it's delaying its smarter, AI-infused Siri, which may not arrive until next year. Did Apple over-promise last year, or is it wise to hold off on advanced AI features until they're ready? After all, Apple doesn't want a fiasco like Microsoft's Recall announcement. Listen be...

Spoiler shields, activate! We are mere days away from the official release of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition on 20th March and now, as has been the case with so many first-party releases during the Switch generation, the game has reportedly leaked online. That's according to a new moderator post on the XCX subreddit, warning that the game has been dumped online, and users won't be allowed to share any further chatter about its new content until launch day.

NVIDIA have released NVIDIA RTX Remix, their modding platform that allows developers to enhance games with full ray tracing. Additionally, Half-Life 2 RTX is getting a demo on March 18th.

Godot 4.4 was released 10 days ago, and as is customary with such major feature updates, we have a late harvest of regression fixes to offer!

In a lot of ways, Fragpunk is much better than I expected it to be. One round the other day began with a wave of frantic team chat screams - standard, for a competitive shooter in the CS:GO mould - only this time the usual storm of verbal friendly fire came with a twist: "BIG HEAD MODE! BIG HEAD MODE! GIVE THEM BIG HEADS!!!!"
