Not sure what’s going on? Here’s the official story synopsis for Star Wars Battlefront II: The new Battlefront II story trailer shows us a handful of things we’ve seen before – the explosion of the Death Star, Iden Versio being tasked with carrying out Operation Cinder by her father – but we also get some new stuff. We see several favorite characters, including Luke Skywalker, Leia, and Maz Kanata, hints of conflict within Inferno Squad, and glimpses of new planets and battles....

Well, that may change if Microsoft’s proposed $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard goes through. In a recent interview with Wired, Xbox boss Phil Spencer expressed excitement about the prospect of sitting down with Blizzard to discuss StarCraft and Warcraft, even if he’s careful to mention he’s not free to start any discussions just yet. “So this is all just kind of talking and thinking about what the opportunity is, but you’re absolutely right....

Dynamic Cloud Sync should be available when the first Steam Deck units begin to ship, which Valve expects to happen on time in late February. With Dynamic Cloud Sync, Steam will automatically upload all modified save game data to the cloud prior to the device entering sleep mode. Users can then resume their game on any PC, laptop or other device. Steam will also automatically download any save game changes when users return to their Steam Deck and wake up the device....

Speaking with Edge Magazine, as reported by GamesRadar, the producer of the latest entry in the long-running series confirmed that, despite the game’s success, there are no plans to develop a direct sequel. The team set out to create a complete experience and is now determined to acquire new fans for the further expansion of Japanese role-playing games. For this reason, the team will need to come up with a high-quality new game that builds upon the success of Arise while also “providing an opportunity to rediscover the history of the series”....

Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) gave an early indication of a demand slowdown in China when it cut prices of its EVs by up to 9.4 percent in late October. The full extent of this demand weakness has now become evident with the latest report published by China’s Passenger Car Association. — TradeTheNews.com (@Trade_The_News) November 3, 2022 To wit, Tesla delivered 71,704 EVs in China in October 2022, corresponding to an annual increase of 422 percent but a sequential decline of 13....

As spotted by cefaluu on the Final Fantasy subreddit, the Pixel Remaster series, which was initially only rated for PC by the ESRB, is now rated for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch as well. As it will be the series’ 35th anniversary on December 18th, it would make quite a bit of sense for Square Enix to celebrate it by announcing the release of these remasters on consoles. The Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series, as mentioned above, includes the first six entries in the series, enhanced by improved visuals, rearranged soundtracks, and quality-of-life improvements....

Meanwhile, Epic boss Tim Sweeney had the following to say about the new partnership… Oh, and for those concerned about such things, while CDPR is using Epic’s Unreal Engine tech, they have confirmed the next Witcher won’t be exclusive to the Epic Games Store. — The Witcher (@witchergame) March 21, 2022 The unspoken element in all of this is the technical disaster that was the REDengine-developed Cyberpunk 2077. Hopefully, the move to Unreal Engine means CDPR can focus on the world-building and storytelling they do so well, without a lot of the technical concerns that have plagued them in recent years....

Demakes of getting more popular by the day, but today we wanted to share something really special – a demake of 2007’s Portal that is running on a modded Nintendo 64. Created by YouTuber ‘James Lambert’, this new video shows the demake running with the Portal gun in a working state, complete with recursive portal rendering. Quite impressive given the hardware limitations of the Nintendo 64 – a console that was released in 1996 and was followed up in 2001 by the GameCube....

ARPGs are pretty common in the current landscape of gaming. The whole idea behind them is to be like an RPG, with character stats, builds, quests, open worlds to explore, and more, but with a higher focus on action rather than turn-based gameplay. Thymesia is one such case and has been covered a bit in the past. Thymesia puts players in a kingdom in an age of calamity, but once thrived....

It seems Pratchett may get her wish, as Crystal Dynamics has hinted they want to “unify the timelines,” merging their take on Lara with the original version of the character. Just how far will Crystal Dynamics be willing to push Lara’s “fun” side? That remains to be seen, but I kinda feel like the world might again be ready for a Lara that isn’t so damn serious. I want to see that [come to] full fruition, I want to see the sassy one liners and things that I would have loved to have written....

Apparently, all it takes to get someone blocked on Aave is to send that person some Ethereum from Tornado Cash. After all, this is exactly what has just transpired with Justin Sun, the CEO of the popular blockchain-based OS, TRON. — H.E. Justin Sun🌞🇬🇩 (@justinsuntron) August 13, 2022 In a tweet posted moments ago, Sun has announced that his Aave address has now been blocked after someone randomly gifted him 0....

Legislators in Taiwan debated the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company’s (TSMC) latest manufacturing facility in the U.S. yesterday. TSMC is building a new facility in Arizona and it celebrated the first machines arriving at the facility with much pomp and fair earlier this month. The even was attended by a high profile guest list, which started from President Joe Biden and extended all the way to include the Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, and the heads of Apple, Inc, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc (AMD) and NVIDIA Corporation....

A former procurement manager for the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has been fined NT$2.5 million as part of a violation of his non-compete agreement with the chipmaker. The former employee, Xue Zongzhi, had left his role at TSMC to take up a similar position at a Chinese wafer supplier, which violated his agreement with TSMC the company had argued. In response, Mr. Zongzhi retorted that his experience in procurement was not subject to a non-compete agreement and by taking up a role at his new employer, he had leveraged his skills acquired through time spent in the industry....

As the 28th October deadline for finalizing Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover deal draws ever closer, events are predictably moving at a breakneck pace. Twitter is now trying to negate reports that a hefty wave of layoffs is imminent. A few days ago, the Delaware Court of Chancery had stayed the trial between Elon Musk and Twitter until 05:00 p.m. on the 28th of October in order to allow both parties to close the takeover agreement after the CEO of Tesla expressed willingness to adhere to the original terms, eschewing objections over the quantum of bots that proliferate the social media platform or the security concerns raised by a high-profile whistleblower....

Check it out for yourself down below, courtesy of UploadVR: “Third-person in this game is really far away (about 5 meters on average) and that doesn’t work very well in VR”, Ross explained last month....

This is precisely why we didn’t just push the new design to everyone. Letting people opt-in to the public beta was our way to engage our readers. You guys make Wccftech what it is. We have never let this be forgotten in any of our inside conversations around the future of our website and the products in the pipeline. In fact, this was why we went for the redesign in itself: we want to let you engage with each other in more ways than the comments via the new profile system that’s a core part of this new site....
