However, on October 27, the Polish developer was forced to announce a short delay to […]

We've covered quite a bit of Unreal Engine 5 videos since the engine's release back in 2022, but we wanted to share this one as well as it comes from a former art designer on Microsoft's Halo Infinite, and the more recent Immortals of Aveum and Amazon's New World - Kaleb Nekumanesh. As said, this nearly five-minute-long fan concept was created using Unreal Engine 5 using Megascans as well as custom models, materials, decals, and marketplace assets. It's an impressive […]
Following the announcement of New World: Aeternum at Summer Game Fest 2024, we caught up with some lead figures from Amazon Games Orange County to dive into the console launch and the various improvements coming to the existing PC version. We chatted with Scot Lane (Game Director), Katie Kaszynski (Senior Producer), and Dave Verfaillie (Creative Director). As a reminder, the new version of the MMORPG will go live on October 15.

OpenAI has been in the news since its inception of ChatGPT and has been actively evolving its technology, developing new models, and working aggressively to bring AGI forward. While the company's progression is widely praised, it had to face some legal pressure for misusing articles from news outlets to train its large language models.
