Apple's next-generation iPhone Air could feature two rear cameras instead of one, according to a Chinese leaker with sources within Apple's supply chain. The Weibo-based account "Digital Chat Station" claims that Apple is evaluating a dual-lens setup for the next version of its ultra-thin iPhone, with a 48MP Fusion Ultra Wide camera joining the existing 48MP Fusion Main camera, similar to the base iPhone 17. However, the leaker says that... Read more ›

The smarter, more capable version of Siri that Apple is developing will be powered by Google Gemini, reports Bloomberg. Apple will pay Google approximately $1 billion per year for a 1.2 trillion parameter artificial intelligence model that was developed by Google. For context, parameters are a measure of how a model understands and responds to queries. More parameters generally means more capable, though training and architecture are also factors. Bloomberg...

Paradox Interactive? Here's a bloody paradox for you! I love the idea of grand strategy games, perhaps more than I can possibly convey. I've spent countless hours poring over screenshots of Europa Universalis 4, Crusader Kings 3, and Victoria 3, mesmerised by those evocative maps and enigmatic numbers. Where some might see drab undulations and a spreadsheet UI, I see tantalising potential; the chance to bend history to my whims... Read more ›

For a year, on and off, I've been thinking about Dragon Age: The Veilguard. More specifically, I've been thinking about my Dragon Age: The Veilguard review - the five-star review I wrote for Eurogamer. It plagues me. Because to be blunt, I'm not happy with how it sits. I don't think The Veilguard is a five-star game and definitely don't think it's BioWare's best game. To have suggested such a... Read more ›

It's been a long-running mystery why Rockstar's PlayStation-exclusive spy game Agent never materialised. It was announced with much fanfare in 2007, then proceeded to never show up again. But Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser has finally provided an adequate answer. Simply put, he and Rockstar couldn't find a way to make an open-world spy game work. Read more Read more ›

I’d argue that there was probably no greater poisoned chalice in games than taking on the job of remaking Final Fantasy 7. Hyped for years before it was announced, its reveal part of the so-called ‘E3 of dreams’, and it is of course a reimagining of one of the most important and beloved role-playing games of all time. Even if it was brilliant, there would inevitably be grousing from some... Read more ›

Just weeks after Japan rejected Nintendo's initial efforts to patent a variety of Pokémon-style monster capture and throwing mechanics - a patent that might prove critical in the company's ongoing patent infringement lawsuit against Palworld - the US has taken the "rare" step of re-examining a previously granted Pokémon patent, believing it could be invalid.
