During Kai's trip to San Francisco to play Dragon Age: The Veilguard, he was able to secure an exclusive interview with BioWare's Francois Chaput (Missions and Level Design Director) and Matt Rhodes (Art Director). Later, though, he also participated in a roundtable Q&A with Game Directors Corinne Busche and John Epler where various colleagues from the press were able to ask their questions. One of the most interesting answers came on the topic of companions, which are the very focus of Dragon Age: The Veilguard and even prompted the title change from Dreadwolf. When asked when they decided companions wouldn't […]
During our trip to San Francisco to play Dragon Age: The Veilguard for the first time, we had the chance to speak with two members of BioWare's development team: Francois Chaput, Missions and Level Design Director, and Matt Rhodes, Art Director, both of which delved into their respective areas of expertise. As a reminder, Dragon Age: The Veilguard will launch on October 31, almost ten years after the previous installment's release. It will be available for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X. I know you are taking a different approach as far as levels go. Rather than trying to […]
BioWare and Electronic Arts recently invited a select number of media and influencers, Wccftech included, to their western California campus to get some of the first hands-on with their long-awaited sequel to the Dragon Age franchise. It’s been a long time coming and a series of iterations to get to where we are now and with the release only a handful of weeks away, gamers will finally have the opportunity to take up the mantle of The Veilguard. Built upon the narrative started nearly two decades ago and touched on as recently as Dragon Age: Inquisition’s DLC, Dragon Age: The […]

Tesla appears to have abandoned its go-to strategy to juice demand by instituting margin-destroying price cuts and, instead, now seems bent on pairing cost-cutting measures with those that enhance its ancillary revenue streams. $TSLA CEO @elonmusk: "..we have done a thorough review of the organization and made the difficult decision to reduce our headcount by more than 10% globally. There is nothing I hate more, but it must be done. This will enable us to be lean, innovative & hungry for the next growth… pic.twitter.com/IkWPEb8c5b — The Transcript (@TheTranscript_) April 15, 2024 To wit, Electrek reported on Sunday that Tesla […]
Akin to a tongue-in-cheek iteration of "he loves me, he loves me not," Tesla's near-term narrative is currently being dominated by the following speculative reverie: "Will there be a Model 2, or will there not?" Reuters published a highly contentious report in early April, disclosing Tesla's apparent willingness to abandon its upcoming cheaper Model 2 in the face of serious competition from China. While Elon Musk quickly clamped down on the veracity of Reuters' reporting, this did not stop educated conjecture as to the fate of the $30,000 Model 2. The same day, in an apparent attempt to halt Tesla's […]
Tesla and Elon Musk's artificial intelligence-focused enterprise, xAI, have collectively established a sizable stash of NVIDIA's H100 GPUs, as the former endeavors to crack the Level 5 autonomous driving conundrum for good, while the latter attempts to realize Musk's vision of a "maximum truth-seeking AI." This is not accurate. Tesla would be second highest and X/xAI would be third if measured correctly. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 8, 2024 The X account "The Technology Brother" recently posted that Mark Zuckerberg's Meta has now amassed one of the largest stashes of the H100 GPUs in the world, amounting to around 350,000 […]
Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) seems to have surrendered in front of a veritable onslaught of competition from China, eviscerating a major plank of its medium-term bullish thesis. Now, the EV giant's FSD capabilities and the attendant licensing deals, as well as the lucrative cash stream from the still-non-existent robotaxis, might be the only salvation on the proverbial horizon. We reported in January that Tesla was working to launch an entry-level $25,000 EV, dubbed "Redwood" internally and widely known as the Model 2, by June 2025, with the EV giant going so far as to send requests for price quotes to certain […]
Sometimes, going against the herd pays off massively. Case in point: Toyota is thriving right now with its hybrids-first strategy, while its competitors, including Tesla, the erstwhile king of the auto space, continue to contend with a challenging demand environment and shrinking margins. Cox Automotive: Toyota Consistently Has the Most Robust Online Shopper Interest, Low Days’ Supply, and Some of the Healthiest Transaction Prices Within Their Competitive Segment Cox Automotive recently published interesting insights into the auto market dynamics in the US, noting: "Toyota and Lexus dealers captured 29% of the industry’s total new car gross margin in February, despite […]
Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) shares are at a year-to-date nadir today - now down around 33 percent so far this year - after the EV giant missed Wall Street's consensus expectations for quarterly deliveries by the widest margin on record. With analysts now crowning Tesla as the "most hated among the Magnificent 7" grouping of high-flying stocks, the sentiment around the EV giant has undoubtedly hit the proverbial rock bottom. Nonetheless, a more nuanced study of Tesla's quarterly delivery numbers does present a case for cautious optimism. Tesla's Disastrous Quarter As we noted in a separate post earlier today, Tesla has […]
