Misc

Work in progress
Times and links will be added as they become available.

I think they showed enough Fable Legends already, I don't expect to see it at their press even again.  Tomb Raider is a given though, and probably the others on that list.  Much more interested in what surprises they have, they've been hinting at quite a lot of exclusives this time around.

Not showing a game the year it launches? Only if they've gone completely mad and want to give away easy press.

After playing Fable Legends this weekend, I would say don't bother dedicating much if any time to this F2P game. It looks great, plays fine, but it aint nothing to write home about. It's a rinse and repeat game sadly.

You don't have to give it any real time on stage, everyone knows about it, they've shown it off this year, at least twice, maybe 3 times, to date.  I think fans get the idea already, besides if you have other new things to show off that'd be better time spent.  Toss it up on some video with a list of other things and be done with it.

Gears of War 4 is certain enough to make it to the list? I know MS has re-secured the rights and a "project is being worked on" but could that not be a HD remake?

I just don't want to get my hopes up :(

I thought they they were doing both (an HD remake of the first three and a separate fourth).

I didn't know anything was official, I'm happy with a remake of one-three and then a fourth game

 

There was that whole story about leaked videos of a HD remake for the first game on XB1 and then people getting banned for breaking the NDA.   But that wasn't done by Black Tusk, it was reported through some other studio was handling it, like how they did the Halo HD, it wasn't done through 343i, other studios did HD updates to Halo 1 and 2.

 

I think they're going to do the same thing to Gears they did with Halo, a HD remake for 1-3 and then a new 4th game coming after that.

 

As much as I'm a fan of Gears though, I'd like new titles to, new IP or bringing back other/older IP we haven't seen in years.  Hell, I'd be down for a new Perfect Dark game, I'm a fan of stealth based games, it'd be perfect for some stealthy first person fun.

I know what you mean yeah, I suspect this will end up like Halo MCC. Bought it, played a bit but nowhere near as much as I expected.

With Sony moving to E3 and PSX (Playstation Experience in December), it's a decent move for MS to bulk up Gamescom. It's very close to E3 this year, the reason Sony peddled that they won't be attending. If MS blow their load at E3, it's a long wait till GDC with PSX right in the middle to keep the focus on Sony.

I do remember seeing a Tweet from EA Access saying there's something special during E3 for EA Access users so would expect a new game, Titanfall would be another good addition. ##

 

Can't access the link at work but why does adding Titanfall go against the T&Cs?

No idea, they never gave a reason why it was excluded. Probably because it was supposed to be their flagship seller last year and they didn't want to cannibalize sales.

live blogs are starting up around the web.

 

Here's a direct link to MS's video stream.

    • Apple Watch Series 11 GPS just crashed to 30% off in this fast-moving Prime Day deal by Karthik Mudaliar The Apple Watch Series 11 is available for $279, down from its $399 list price, saving buyers $120, or 30%. Amazon labels the offer as selling fast, so the current price may not remain available for long. This GPS model features a 42mm aluminum case, an Always-On Retina LTPO3 OLED display capable of reaching up to 2,000 nits, and an Ion-X glass surface with improved scratch resistance. Apple rates Series 11 for up to 24 hours of normal use or up to 38 hours in Low Power Mode, with fast charging providing up to eight hours of use from a 15-minute charge. Health and fitness tools include sleep scoring, temperature sensing, ECG support, heart-rate alerts, workout tracking, sleep apnea notifications, and hypertension notifications, where available. The watch also carries IP6X dust resistance and 50-meter water resistance. This configuration is best suited to iPhone owners who want comprehensive health tracking, notifications, contactless payments, and workout data without stepping up to a larger or cellular-equipped model. The smaller case should also appeal to buyers who prefer a lighter watch, while the S/M band fits wrists measuring 130mm to 180mm. With the current generation now significantly below its usual retail price, this is a strong time to replace an aging Apple Watch or buy a first model without compromising on Apple’s newest health and display features. Grab the discounted Apple Watch Series 11 (sold and shipped by Amazon) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • The laptop in the bedroom is an Acer with i7-10510U CPU. Acer's website states they will not be upgrading it so I had little choice other than disable secure boot. I know next to nothing on these matters so hopefully it will be fine.
    • GitHub removes manual model selection from Copilot free and student plans by Karthik Mudaliar GitHub is removing the ability to manually select an AI model from its Copilot Free and Student plans, making its automatic routing system the default and only way to choose a model. This means users on these tiers will no longer be able to deliberately select a particular OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Microsoft model for a task. In its announcement, GitHub said Copilot Auto will dynamically choose what it considers the best model for each request. Free and Student accounts will retain access to models from multiple families, although the available selection will continue to depend on the restrictions attached to each plan. GitHub did not identify a fixed pool of models that Auto will always use, and its documentation warns that model availability can change over time. GitHub describes Auto as more than a random fallback system. On supported surfaces, its task-optimization technology evaluates the complexity of a request alongside real-time information about model health and availability. Straightforward prompts can be routed to faster and less expensive models, while more demanding coding tasks may be sent to higher-cost reasoning models. The company says this approach should reduce rate limiting, latency, and failed requests. Auto generally selects one model along natural prompt-caching boundaries rather than repeatedly switching models during a session, as GitHub found that mid-session changes increased costs without producing sufficient improvements in output quality. Users can still check which model generated a response. In Copilot Chat, the information appears when hovering over an answer, while Copilot CLI and the Copilot cloud agent display the selected model alongside their output. Auto is available in Copilot Chat, Copilot CLI, and the cloud agent, with the exact implementation and release status varying between supported development environments. The latest restriction follows several months of adjustments to Copilot’s individual plans. GitHub temporarily halted new Pro, Pro+, and Student subscriptions in April as it sought to manage demand and service reliability. It later introduced token-based billing and began gradually reopening individual-plan registrations on June 17. Alongside the picker change, GitHub is retiring the “Preview” label from Microsoft-developed models. It argues that the label is no longer necessary because Auto handles model routing and models are continuously updated behind the scenes.
