Today, Rockstar finally raised the curtain on Grand Theft Auto VI, and we got our first good look at what the game will actually play like. While we saw footage of GTA staples like shootouts and police chases, anyone who’s played one of these massive open-world games knows that many of the most memorable moments are the optional side activities. Today’s trailer showed a lot of them, and while we don’t yet know if all of them are actually playable, we’ve gathered every activity we could spot in one article.
Samsung’s Fan Edition has had a pretty good reputation so far. The idea is to celebrate fans (us, the customers) with specifications and features found in Samsung’s top-tier flagships, but at a more affordable price point so more people can experience them. The S25 FE was a decent iteration in the lineup. It struck the perfect balance between accessibility and a flagship-like look and feel, which is the entire point of the Fan Edition. However, in my frank opinion, the new Galaxy S26 FE doesn’t really belong in that special zone, and yet again, it’s the unforgiving memory crisis at…
Scott Pilgrim EX is getting two batches of new content today: some paid, and some free. For starters, $3.99 gets you three new playable characters: Kim Pine, Stephen Stills, and Knives Chau. The trio does appear in the base game’s story, but this is the first we’ve been able to play as them. You can see them in action in the trailer below. Knives, unsurprisingly, can be seen wielding knives in combat, and she also has a screen-spanning corkscrew attack. Kim uses her drumsticks to summon purple magical energy and projectiles with bats. Finally, Stephen brawls with his fists and acoustic…
Generating a short AI video is one thing; getting several shots to actually look like they belong in the same video is a much harder problem. Google is taking another swing at that with Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash, its latest generative video model aimed at giving creators and developers much more control over what happens between the first frame and the last. The biggest change is how much of an existing video Gemini can remember when you ask it to continue a scene. Omni 1.1 can look at up to 10 seconds of previous footage for context, rather than relying…
When The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt arrived in 2015, it immediately joined many “greatest games of all time” lists. Here at Game Informer, we awarded it a 9.75 out of 10, with our reviewer, Kimberley Wallace stating that The Witcher 3 “encompasses what I hope is the future of RPGs.” Fast forward 12 years into the future to 2026, and some of what The Witcher 3 accomplished still hasn’t been topped. And though CD Projekt Red released two acclaimed and award-winning expansions to Geralt’s adventure over the game’s first year and has since announced The Witcher IV, which will star…
Gaming headsets these days come with a long list of features such as wireless connectivity, surround sound modes, RGB lighting, and companion software. Audio-Technica is taking a simpler approach with its new ATH-M20xSTS StreamSet, focusing mainly on the headphones and microphone. The new wired headset is priced at $99 and borrows its basic design from Audio-Technica’s ATH-M20x professional monitor headphones. It also features a cardioid condenser microphone based on the company’s 20 Series microphones. Of course, using familiar hardware does not automatically mean the ATH-M20xSTS will sound better than other gaming headsets around this price. We would need to test…
We’ve had our eyes on developer/publisher Finji’s supernatural action game Usual June since its reveal at The Game Awards 2023, and it finally has a launch date. Fittingly, the game about fighting monsters and talking to ghosts arrives a few days before Halloween.Usual June is coming on October 28. The third-person action game stars the titular June, a college student, dealing with the emergence of monsters in her small town of Fen Harbour. Ghosts are disappearing, and it’s up to June and her friends (living and dead) to save the city. The game’s fast-paced melee combat sees June slay monsters using…
Maybe the best gift you can give your children is the experience of failure. It sounds radical, perhaps even a little uncomfortable, particularly when so much of parenting involves trying to protect children from frustration and disappointment. Yet by stepping in every time something becomes difficult, we may also be taking away opportunities for them to develop the very skills they will need to navigate an increasingly unpredictable world. The question has become more pressing as artificial intelligence changes the way we think about work. In an earlier Trending Forward conversation, I explored what happens when AI begins taking over…
Stuntman: Hollywood, first revealed during June’s PlayStation State of Play, resurrects the dormant franchise with a new entry that lets players perform wild vehicular stunts across the sets of licensed franchises, including Back to the Future, Mad Max, and Knight Rider. A new trailer reveals Jurassic World as Stuntman Hollywood’s next IP.The trailer showcases both cinematic and in-game footage of the stuntman driving the Jurassic World park jeep and a motorcycle across familiar setpieces from the modern series of films born out of Jurassic Park. This includes riding a motorcycle alongside a pack of raptors in a forest à la…
Lenovo Innovation World 2026 is just days away, and Windows Latest has obtained exclusive images revealing what’s coming. Among the leaked lineup, two devices stand out. A compact mini PC that looks like Lenovo‘s answer to the Mac mini, and a ThinkBook so thin it might set a new record. Meet the ThinkCentre X Ultra, Lenovo’s take on a tiny desktop The ThinkCentre X Ultra is a cube-shaped mini PC, and it looks nothing like Lenovo’s existing ThinkCentre Neo Ultra, which is bulkier and closer to an Apple Mac Studio rival. This one is smaller, shaped more like Apple’s Mac…
