'Silent Hill f' trailer shows the game's beautiful backdrop and unsettling mood

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...

MacRumors icon 30 minutes ago by Joe Rossignol

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.

The Morning After: Is the Roomba an endangered species?

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...

Riot agrees that Valorant’s gunplay isn’t the focus anymore, but that’s changing

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's first proper new Silent Hill in an age is a welcome change of scene after the Silent Hill 2 remake

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 ...

RCS messaging adds end-to-end encryption between Android and iOS

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.

Activist Groups Challenge UK Demand for Apple Encryption Backdoor

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...
