Well, it seems that offer wasn’t warmly received. PlayStation boss Jim Ryan has provided a statement of his own to GamesIndustry.biz, roasting Microsoft’s offer as “inadequate on many levels.” Apparently, Microsoft’s proposed deal was for only a relatively-modest three years. Beyond that, it isn’t clear what Ryan found so objectionable about the offer. “I hadn’t intended to comment on what I understood to be a private business discussion, but I feel the need to set the record straight because Phil Spencer brought this into the public forum....

The big leak confirmed once again that a new Tarkov-style extraction-based “DMZ” mode is in the works, although surprisingly, it states it won’t arrive until early next year. With 2023 reportedly being the first year in decades without a core Call of Duty title, many have begun to speculate that the DMZ experience may be positioned as a free-to-play standalone title to fill the gap between Modern Warfare 2 in 2022 and Treyarch’s next Black Ops title in 2024....

Seems like Motive is treading lightly, while still providing enough new stuff to keep veterans of the franchise on their toes, which seems like the right approach to me. Need to know more? Here’s an extensive rundown of some of the new features coming to the Dead Space remake… Isaac is fully voiced: Isaac speaks up this time around, like yelling his teammates’ names when they’re in trouble or explaining his plans to fix the Ishimura’s Centrifuge and fuel lines....

But surprisingly, the company has followed up with a new release in the form of watchOS 8.4.1.

Another day brings additional drama to the ongoing saga of Elon Musk’s takeover bid for Twitter, replete with witty memes and escalating rhetoric. To wit, Bloomberg broke the news today that Vijaya Gadde, Twitter’s top lawyer and head of policy, told workers at an all-hands meeting that the company would not engage with Musk in his attempts to drive a more aggressive bargain, claiming that there is “no such thing as a deal on hold....

To the victor go the spoils. In the one-upmanship that has been going on between the CEO of Tesla and Twitter over the past couple of weeks, the social media giant has blinked first by acquiescing to a major demand of Elon Musk. As per the reporting by Washington Post, Twitter has agreed to provide Musk unfettered access to its “firehose” – a massive stream of internal data that comprises of over 500 million tweets that are posted each day....

Well, the Financial Times recently spoke to Embracer CEO Lars Wingefors and it seems the company’s scattershot approach actually is part of their strategy. Rather than betting on a few big games, Wingefors prefers to make money with a wide range of smaller games, which is not only less risky in his estimation, but makes Embracer less susceptible to being acquired itself… Wingefors also plans to continue Embracer’s strategy of not exerting too much control over their many developers....

Jumping into Evil West, the developer told me it’s best to use a gamepad, so I used it. The mouse and keyboard are supported, don’t fear there, but we’ve all got pads now. I can see why Flying Wild Hog recommends a gamepad for this. Movement in combat - and traversing the areas - feels fluid and responsive on the pad and requires the 360 degrees of freedom that WASD doesn’t entirely give....

Samsung May Also Resort to Using Its 5nm Process for the Exynos 2300 to Save Production Costs Considering that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is reportedly being produced on TSMC’s superior 4nm process, it will command better performance and power efficiency compared to if it was made on Samsung’s 4nm technology. In fact, part of the reason why Qualcomm switched to TSMC for its Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 was to get the extra perks that were not present on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 made using Samsung’s 4nm wafers....

At first glance, Codemasters has some fantastic wards in place, with the company - and F1 22 - looking like they’re going to have another great outing ahead. With the fifth of the real-world sports’ grand Prix completed, it’s worth speaking about Miami. Miami being a new track, Codemasters didn’t have the luxury of seeing it in action before building it into the game. Another thing that Codemasters, fortunately, didn’t have to build into F1 22 is the constant bouncing of cars along the high-speed sections of tracks (porpoising)....

The First Public Beta of iOS 16 is Expected to Arrive in July, A Little Late Than the Usual Timeframe According to Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, Apple will release the first public beta of iOS 16 in July. The first public beta will coincide with the third developer beta. Typically, Apple releases the first public beta of iOS when it seeds the second developer beta.
