This could be the thing that tips me over the egde and heading online with credit card in hand.

 

Shortly after, we were shepherded into a demo room where we got a first-person, headsetted hands-on and it was an exhilarating experience, with absolutely no nausea even in our frequent tailspins. If you're as rubbish as us, though, a passenger mode also lets you ride shotgun and have someone more accomplished show you around.

It appears lower resolution and slightly lacking in detail as Evolution is clearly aiming for the hallowed 60 frames per second, with the game pared back in this demo to accomplish it so far.

The driving demo has you in a topless car, peering out the top, presumably because it struggles to process dashboard details so far, but the passive passenger demo gives you a full cockpit view, so it's in the works.

Yet the lack of rearview mirrors is the only obvious omission that hinders gameplay, and more features will be built back in as the game progresses to launch next year.

Evolution also told us that, of course, you'll be able to play the game with a DualShock if you're not stocked with wheel and pedals, while you can even do a third-person view in VR if you don't want to switch entirely, looking down on your choice of motor like a God.

    • Top 10 cool features coming soon to Windows 11

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Top 10 cool features coming soon to Windows 11 by Taras Buria Microsoft released plenty of Windows 11 updates in the first half of 2025. While the formal "big feature update" is coming in the second half of the year in the form of version 25H2, monthly updates delivered quite a lot of changes and new features. Check out our top 10 list here. Now, let's see what Microsoft has in store for the rest of the year. The following 10 changes and upgrades are currently available in Windows 11 preview builds. Note that some features might not make it to the stable channel or arrive later. However, you can try them out by downloading one of the latest preview builds. 1. Brand-new Start menu Microsoft officially announced the new Start menu a couple of months ago. It is a major step up from what we had all these years, with plenty of user feedback fully or partially addressed. The menu now uses a single scrollable view, the Recommended section can be turned off, and users can enjoy bigger sizes with more layouts. If you frequently use the Start menu, the new variant will be a nice upgrade for you. It could potentially convince naysayers to finally leave Windows 10 behind. By the way, check out some of the ideas and concepts that Microsoft considered while redesigning the Start menu. 2. Adaptive Power Saver Microsoft wants to make Windows 11 more energy efficient and improve battery life by introducing the so-called adaptive power saver. It will turn on or off power saver mode depending on the current workload, not your current battery level. Also, it will not dim your screen, unlike what we currently have in the stable channel. The new energy saver will be available on laptops, tablets, and handhelds, or any Windows 11 device with a battery inside. 3. Change where hardware indicators appear I am not sure if there are people who wanted to make the volume or brightness flyout appear in the top-left corner or top-center, but here we go. Soon, Microsoft will let you select where hardware indicators or flyouts appear. I would rather have the ability to move the taskbar to the top or left/right, but unfortunately, Microsoft is not asking me or thousands of other users. 4. Agentic search in Settings This feature is exclusive to Copilot+ PCs. Agentic search in Settings lets you use natural language to describe what is wrong with your PC, and the operating system will offer solutions and even suggest taking action on your behalf. For example, you can say, "My cursor is too small." The system will understand the problem and make the cursor larger or show you where you can adjust it yourself. Pretty cool stuff. Too bad it will take my job, though. By the way, the search box in the Settings app is now larger and at the top-center. 5. Notification center clock This is a small change, but apparently, a lot of Windows 11 users miss the notification clock from Windows 10. Soon, it will finally make it to Windows 11, allowing you to see a bigger time when viewing notifications or the calendar flyout, which, unfortunately, remains extremely primitive. Come on, Microsoft! I have to give Microsoft credit for extra customization: You can turn off the notification center clock if you do not like it. 6. Lock Screen customization Windows 11 will soon let you pick what widgets appear on the lock screen. If you only want to have the weather widget or traffic, Settings > Personalization > Lock Screen will allow you to disable unused widgets and keep only the necessary ones. 7. Quick Machine Recovery Quick Machine Recovery is a new security feature that Microsoft introduced to help deal with the results of widespread outages like the one that happened in the Summer of 2024. Now, if a system cannot boot, it can try to receive the necessary fixes or mitigations by connecting to Windows Update from the recovery environment. 8. Windows Advanced Settings The Windows Advanced Settings Section will soon replace the For Developers section in the Settings app. It will bring certain features from the now-killed Dev Home app, including the ability to toggle long paths in directories, Virtual Workspaces settings, File Explorer source code integration, and more. Besides, Microsoft is making the new section a bit tidier with feature groups like Taskbar, File Explorer, Terminal, Virtual Workspaces, and more. 9. Black Screen of Death Blue Screen of Death, or BSOD, is going away. It will soon become the Black Screen of Death with no iconic smiley face, QR codes, or any mentions of Windows 11 at all. Microsoft is streamlining the experience to help users better understand what caused a crash, and that it is not always Microsoft that is to blame. Here is what the new Black Screen of Death looks like: 10. Passkey improvements Microsoft is improving the passkey experience for those using 1Password, a popular third-party password manager. Windows Security will be able to use your stored passkeys and save new ones across websites. These ten features are not everything that Microsoft has in store. Future updates will bring more changes and improvements, and some of them will arrive in monthly cumulative updates. What features caught your attention, and what do you want Microsoft to change the most? Share your thoughts in the comments.

      I don't think there is any stock apps from Microsoft worth keeping on a Windows install anymore. Everything has been ruined by WebView or Copilot.

      Mine for some reason keeps wanting to update the same 3 apps daily lol, even after a clean install on July 6th. Not sure what else to do on this matter, previously it was doing same thing on my older Boot NVMe lol. Debating if i should restore my Macrium Reflect X system image, and see if that fixes it, but i don't know what the cause is, or if it would be waste of time
