Seriously, wth with these leaks? After seeing EA's presentation I felt they gave up. It was uninspiring, as if they were presenting a PPT at college. All the delight they wanted to save for us was killed by the uncontrolled amount of leaks! 

 

This sucks. There is no reason to watch E3 if there are no special surprises coming up.  Where is the delight?! Even if I try to refrain myself from spoilers all the news site, including Gamespot have the leaked version of the new Microsoft console. 

 

/rant.

Maybe the companies should do a better job at controlling their "secrets".

 

Heard from a friend that Microsoft, Apple and Elon Musk are partnering up and will announce a revolutionary product..."game changer" doesn't even describe it accurately.  Believe that will be on the 16th.  :shiftyninja:

There is no point E3 anymore it better for companies to announce there product when they are ready to ship rather then years before hand.  Also retailers who are the show was originally designed for are that important.  I think long run E3 will die.  Better to do seperate events for individual companies.

Quake Champions features a roster of unique characters, each with their own distinctive abilities, allowing you to fight the way you want.

Way to ###### on a franchise Bethesda.

All in all a fairly underwhelming showing.

 

Maybe I just missed it but did they say anything about the Skyrim remaster on pc? Are we getting the upgraded engine too? And if so are they going force us to buy it again? Because to me this should be a free upgrade for anyone who already owns the game.

I think PC was/is listed as well, so it's not console only.  As far as buying it again, I'd say odds are you probably have to, I don't know.  I'm not interested in the game though so I haven't been keeping up with it too much, my info could be off.

I loved to see all the emotion and every game that was going to come up so I could start building some hype. It was about expecting the next cool game. 

last time I remember being impressed with an event was all the reveals at the Video Game Awards.  And I'm not even sure if I watched it, heh.

 

E3 used to be the thing, but now it's between E3, PAX, TGS, VGA, Gamescom, and some dev specific events.

I agree, not sure if this has been happening more and more recently but this year I've at least noticed that there seems to be videos and articles about whats happening at E3 to the point there seems to be very little reason to actually follow it.

Ha with you there, I made the same comment in one of the E3 topics. 

 

Yes it may not hold the same excitement it did years back, but there's not denying that there are still a large number of announcements made and footage released. I started watching the EA one last night and after seeing they didn't really show anything new on Titanfall besides that leaked trailer I switched off.

    • Brave Browser 1.91.168

      By Copernic · Posted

      Brave Browser 1.91.168 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.168 changelog: Web3 Added “Get Started” section to the “Portfolio” page. (#54029) Added the ability to view “Asset Distribution” in “Portfolio”. (#54028) Added dotted texture to wallet line chart. (#54216) Migrated Jupiter swap provider to “Gate3”. (#51848) Updated the “Permission” panel to display the site origin.

(#55842) Fixed reloading an account tab redirecting to the “Accounts” page. (#54826) Leo Added support for text file uploads with renderer-based extraction. (#54062) Added PDF text extraction at upload time. (#51911) Updated display of Brave Leo attachment previews to scroll horizontally instead of vertically. (#54258) Updated the “Copy” button for the code block header to be sticky when scrolling. (#53704) Updated the staged content in the Leo side panel to be the active tab. (#53533) Updated the search terms in the answer’s footer to be left aligned. (#54204) Fixed crash which could occur in certain cases when using multiple tool requests. (#55438) General Added support for Brave Origin. (#37127) [Security] Added the ability to disable or delay automatic extension updates when brave://flags/#brave-user-extension-auto-update is enabled. (#7200) Enabled ability to force context menu using “Shift + Right Click” by default. (#54790) Improved performance by caching adblock DATs. (#27161) Updated background color for PWA install button in the omnibox. (#54736) Fixed tab hover card position when using vertical tabs.

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      Thanks Microsoft but no, I find both iterations of Outlook terrible nowadays and switched back to Thunderbird at home.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By SystemX2 · Posted

      Thanks to some of the other recent Windows improvements, I'm optimistic about this one. My quick wishlist would be: perf like the older menu, merge both menus or at the very least, the older menu should be a flyout, not a simulated click to the old menu, and lastly, a customization window to let users move items from one menu to another, so I could bring Send To back to the main menu, and the OneDrive settings to the older.
