Final gameplay video for RAGE takes you into Jackal Canyon

Bethesda has released one final gameplay video for RAGE before it’s release, and it’s called: Jackal Canyon: Recover the Decrypter. In it, the Resistance has heard rumors of an Ark surfacing in Jackal Valley, and you are tasked with searching the site for a data decrypter, which is apparently very valuable. Finding it won’t be easy either as the Jackal Clan awaits those who dare to venture into their territory.

RAGE releases next week in on October 4 in the US and October 7 in Europe.

thanks for posting that Anaron.

not expecting this to be RPG at all, but it seems there's a lot of weapon tweaking involved, so that's role playing right there in a way. also, are we still having problems pre-loading this on Steam? haven't tried recently.

EDIT: still getting the server busy message when trying to pre-load. i hope they fix this, i wanna play Rage by the weekend!

Rage looks interesting, even though I haven't paid much attention to it. Unfortunately, looking interesting isn't enough to justify me purchasing games at the moment. This is the time of the year when everything I want releases, so I can't see myself being able to get Rage as well. It looks fun, but as was said above, I can see it being overshadowed by the major first-person shooters. I did notice a novel based on the game in my local supermarket though, so I might be able to pick that up instead. £3.97 for the book of the game is a lot less than £39.99 or so for the game. Perhaps it'll be on offer or something though, and I'll be able to pick it up cheap. We'll see. The art direction is very nice, though. I like it a lot.

i'm surprised this game isn't getting more love from everyone around here...

Well I would love to buy this game at release but funds are tight and I have to choose between this and BF3. In the long run I'll get way more game play out of BF3 so I have to go with that and Rage will eventually be ~$30. Sadly I think that's how most people will look at it and this games sales will not be what the game probably deserves because of that.

Yeah, I already plan on buying Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3. If I had the money, I'd also buy this game. It's such a shame that it's being released so close to two major FPS titles. :(

While I understand if people cannot do it for financial reasons, I do see this game being drastically different than MW3 and BF3 so it does not bother me they are being released so closely together. Really, really looking forward to checking it out tomorrow. All of a sudden extremely excited. It was truly a surprise when I launched Steam today to download the Gotham City Imposters Beta and saw I could preload it which led me to check the release date. I preordered it awhile back, so really had no clue. Cannot wait.

Ign gave it a 8.5/10. Not a bad review, does not seem like my type of game, though. Just a straight up shooter will not hold me, i need story, or a robust competitive multiplayer. I'll be passing on this game for a bit, till it drops in price a good chunk.

The first review ain't too hot. But other reviews are more solid.

I have a feeling it's going to be like Doom III: id fans will enjoy it.

Cant really trust any review where reviewer only played for a few hours. Reviews should be written after the completion of the game.

Erm, most reviewers get the final code well before the release date. It takes a couple of weeks to press the final version to discs. So it's more than "a few hours."

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
    • Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 by Razvan Serea Microsoft Edge is a super fast and secure web browser from Microsoft. It works on almost any device, including PCs, iPhones and Androids. It keeps you safe online, protects your privacy, and lets you browse the web quickly. You can even use it on all your devices and keep your browsing history and favorites synced up. Built on the same technology as Chrome, Microsoft Edge has additional built-in features like Startup boost and Sleeping tabs, which boost your browsing experience with world class performance and speed that are optimized to work best with Windows. Microsoft Edge security and privacy features such as Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, Password Monitor, InPrivate search, and Kids Mode help keep you and your loved ones protected and secure online. Microsoft Edge has features to keep both you and your family protected. Enable content filters and access activity reports with your Microsoft Family Safety account and experience a kid-friendly web with Kids Mode. The new Microsoft Edge is now compatible with your favorite extensions, so it’s easy to personalize your browsing experience. Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 changelog: Migration to improved V2 architecture for Workspaces. Workspaces, introduced in Edge in 2022, allows users to create durable sets of tabs that can be saved and shared with others. In order to improve reliability and performance of this feature, the following changes are being made: Migrating data for saved Workspaces from OneDrive/SharePoint to Edge Sync service Removing the collaboration/share functionality of this feature For organizations who have disabled Sync through policy, the existing v1 Workspace data will still be migrated to the new architecture. New v2 Workspaces created after migration won't sync across devices and will remain local to each device. This update occurs on a progressive rollout beginning in Edge Stable v145 and will continue rolling out in Edge v149. For more information, see Getting started with Microsoft Edge Workspaces. Feature Updates Passkey Sync for Enterprise Users. Microsoft Edge is introducing support for passkey synchronization for enterprise users, enabling secure, passwordless authentication across devices. Passkeys created in Edge can now be synced seamlessly, improving sign-in experience while maintaining strong security standards. Note: This is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this change, check back as we continue the rollout. Enterprise WebView2 runtime downgrade via DowngradeVersion policy. Administrators can temporarily roll back specific applications to a previous WebView2 Evergreen Runtime version (N-1 or N-2) using the new DowngradeVersion policy in msedgewebview2.admx. The Downgrade Version policy allows enterprises to mitigate critical regressions by specifying per-application exe-to-version mappings. The Edge Updater installs the target version side-by-side, and the WebView2 Loader redirects targeted apps accordingly. Downgrades auto-expire with each new WebView2 release: apps pinned to N-1 remain on the same version (now becoming N-2) and will auto-update in the next release, while apps pinned to N-2 will revert to the current Evergreen version. The policy applies only to enterprise-managed devices (domain-joined or MDM-enrolled). For more information, see Microsoft Edge WebView2 Policy Documentation | Microsoft Learn. Collections retirement. Collections has been removed in this update. Users can no longer access or use the feature. To keep saved content, users can export it, or move all pages to Favorites before updating to Microsoft Edge Stable 149. For more information, see Organize your ideas with Collections in Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Support. Modern, unified, and updated Look and Feel. Microsoft Edge has updated the Look and Feel to give customers a unified experience across all of Microsoft AI surfaces including Copilot and Bing. This changes multiple elements of the UX such as spacing, corners, fonts, default colors, etc. Clarify choices surrounding third-party cookie settings. Language under Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Cookies are clarified to better describe the choices users have in managing third-party cookies. Custom primary password retirement. Users are no longer able to create a new custom primary password in Edge Settings edge://settings/autofill/passwords/settings. Any users who are still using a custom primary password will be automatically migrated to device authentication. Additionally, the PrimaryPasswordSetting policy will no longer support the WithCustomPrimaryPassword option. For more information, see Keep your saved passwords private in Microsoft Edge | Microsoft Support. Unifying Copilot Chat policy controls. The Microsoft365CopilotChatIconEnabled policy is the standard for configuring Copilot Chat. Previously, this behavior was controlled by blocking the Copilot extension, either explicitly or by using the * wildcard via the ExtensionSettings or ExtensionInstallBlockList policies. Extension and sidebar policies no longer affect the appearance or functionality of Copilot Chat. Copilot address bar suggestions were also tied to extension policy settings. Starting in Microsoft Edge version 149, admins can use the CopilotAddressBarSuggestionsEnabled policy to manage this behavior. Intune MAM Protected Downloads. The protected downloads feature for Intune MAM is now available for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) devices, which aren't managed by a tenant.
