Making changes in a sequel is always going to split player opinion. For everyone who likes the new systems more, someone will miss the old method. As BioWare’s Dragon Age: The Veilguard moves away from the classic PC-first tactical RPG roots of Dragon Age Origins in favor of a more action-RPG leaning, developer Spiders is taking the opposite approach with Greedfall 2: The Dying World.

Rep. James Clyburn Assures Dems That Biden's 'Quiet Constituency' Will Show Up in November

As a fan of the Dragon Age series, I find myself at an interesting crossroads with the recent discourse surrounding Dragon Age: Veilguard and Baldurs Gate 3. The gaming community seems poised to place BioWares newest installment against Larian Studios critically acclaimed RPG.

Im a casual Star Wars fan. I like the movies, love the Andor show, and enjoyed my time with Jedi: Fallen Order when it released in 2019. Im less of an open-world video game fan, though, preferring either smaller-scale or linear experiences. So, needless to say, when it came to Star Wars Outlaws, my expectations for the game were virtually nonexistent.

Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Qualcomm’s shareholders have managed to achieve something that Apple and government regulators across the globe tried to and failed to do: get Qualcomm to pay up over its aggressive licensing practices. In a court filing on Tuesday, Qualcomm said it would agree to pay $75 million to settle a lawsuit brought by shareholders, who claim that the company misled them about how its business practices worked and artificially inflated its stock price as a result. The settlement was earlier reported by Reuters. Shareholders took issue with Qualcomm’s failure to fully disclose how it handled patent licensing. At the time, the company refused to license standard essential patents to certain competitors and in some cases made buying its chips a... Continue reading…

California Governor Gavin Newsom attends an event with fellow governors in the East Room of the White House on February 23, 2024 in Washington, DC. | Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images California Governor Gavin Newsom has pledged to “get smartphones out of schools.” “I look forward to working with the Legislature to restrict the use of smartphones during the school day. When children and teens are in school, they should be focused on their studies — not their screens,” he said in a statement on Tuesday. Newsom plans to work with the California legislature to pass those restrictions by August, Politico first reported. That would put California in line with other states that already have strict limits on smartphone use in schools. The move could also be particularly meaningful in California, the nation’s most populous state and home to Silicon Valley. “They should be focused on their studies — not their screens.” M...

During the WWDC 2023 keynote, Apple introduced Vision Pro, its first spatial computer. Alongside this new device, the company also unveiled Spatial Video. This feature lets users rewatch recorded videos with depth, so they feel like they're living that moment again. While Apple Vision Pro was only released eight months after its announcement, Apple added Spatial Video recording to the iPhone 15 Pro. At the time, the company explained that it would use the main and the ultra-wide angle lenses to capture an image simultaneously to create depth. However, this feature would be limited to the iPhone's built-in camera. Now, with Apple Vision Pro available, and rumors hinting that even the regular iPhone 16 models will record Spatial Videos, Apple has announced during a WWDC 2024 coding session (via MacRumors) that third-party apps will be able to add this feature to their apps once iOS 18 is released. With a new API built into existing camera-related frameworks, the company says it's going to be easy for developers to implement this feature. While it's unclear why Apple decided to make this change, it's likely to help boost Apple Vision Pro interest, as sales seem to be declining. In addition, Apple announced a partnership with Canon for a new lens that can capture Spatial Videos. Alongside iOS 18 enabling Spatial Video recording in third-party apps, Apple is also adding several new features, such as the ability to lock and hide apps with Face ID, new text effects for Messages, and even revamped versions of Notes, Calendar, and Calculator. Unfortunately, the iOS 18 beta cycle still has a long way to go, but BGR will keep bringing the latest news about this upcoming operating system update, and we'll make sure to let you know once we find more tips and tricks about it.
