OpenAI has introduced its 4o model into ChatGPT to enable native image generation within the chatbot atmosphere. This upgrade makes it so you don’t have to use OpenAI’s Dall-E image generation model as a separate entity, though Dall-E remains available for those as a preference. The AI brand has also enabled its Sora AI video generator within ChatGPT. The new features are currently available for ChatGPT free users, as well as for ChatGPT Plus, Team, and Pro users. Availability will be coming to enterprise and education users next week. Previously, Dall-E 3 was the image generation plug-in for paid ChatGPT…
Developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio (RGG) have committed to a breakneck pace for its Like a Dragon series since it finally began to find its global audience and the results have been consistently impressive. Upon reveal, it seemed Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii might be a smaller sidequest taking place alongside the primary franchise. That is generally true (don’t expect any gigantic character or story revelations), but protagonist Goro Majima’s adventure is deeper and denser than I expected when I started. Pirate Yakuza will be familiar to those who have played previous Like a Dragon games, but thankfully…

Despite its popularity, Monster Hunter is notoriously hard to get into. Each new release conjures a crowd of eager but intimidated gamers asking, “Is this the one to start with?” Thanks to its refined combat, thrilling cutscenes, and endlessly engaging gameplay loop, Monster Hunter Wilds is an excellent entry point. While the tutorials are still lacking and many mechanics are far from intuitive, Wilds accommodates those interested in a simpler approach without compromising its most exciting elements. As the name implies, the game’s main attraction is an environment full of monsters to track, hunt, and craft into gear. Combat shines…
We’ve recently seen humanoid robots that can cartwheel, kung-fu kick, and front flip, but such attention-grabbing stunts aren’t the goal of California-based Figure AI. Instead, its team of roboticists is focusing on designing an AI-powered bot that can move quickly and reliably and get things done. In a video (top) shared on X on Tuesday, Figure showed its own humanoid 02 robot performing “learned, natural walking.” Figure’s footage demonstrates the scale of the improvement in walking ability achieved by the team behind the robot. As you can see, the original 01 robot had more of a waddle about it, similar…
Digging into the memory banks of my game-playing career, I don’t know that I have ever felt so directly called out by a video game. I am not a successful fighter like protagonist Alta, nor do I have her personally destructive focus on success at all costs. But I know exactly how she feels, both as a generally anxious person who doesn’t truly know how to relax and as a gamer who doesn’t like cozy games who suddenly found themselves inside one. Wanderstop has technical shortcomings that sometimes distract from the larger experience, but as an introspective examination on the…
Spring is here, and so are seasonal deals. Cue Amazon’s special “Big Spring Sale.” While it’s not as well publicized as, say, Prime Day or any of the other before, after, and on Thanksgiving Day sales, we have found a dozen Big Spring Sale deals on tech products you’ll love. But there’s one more we really want to share with you. While this sale lasts (it goes until the March 31) you can get a 2024 version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite for just $200. That’s $65, and 25%, down from its usual price of $265. Pay special…
Obsidian’s impressive track record in role-playing games is reason enough to stand up and pay attention anytime the studio wades back into the genre. In the case of Avowed, the reasons stack up higher, since it’s a standalone first-person adventure set in the studio’s imaginative and vibrant fantasy world of Eora, previously established in the Pillars of Eternity series. The resulting game isn’t especially innovative and is unlikely to change anyone’s understanding of these types of experiences. But not every good or even great game needs to break the mold; Avowed succeeds with a tried-and-true formula, and keeps the priority…

Booting up Assassin’s Creed Shadows for the first time felt surreal. I was looking at a samurai and a shinobi on the start screen of an Assassin’s Creed game. The series had finally made it to feudal Japan. As a longtime fan, though, I was nervous the actual game wouldn’t match the heights of the Japan-set Assassin’s Creed my imagination had cultivated over the past decade. After more than 55 hours in the feudal Azuchi-Momoyama era, I’m left somewhat conflicted about this long-awaited adventure. Its greatest strengths lie in its fusing of samurai and shinobi action to create the ultimate…
