As a racing game fan, I can see echoes of the Xbox racing games I love in Clutch, but what’s really getting people talking is how different it is. It’s those differences that are causing the biggest split among players – some love them, others aren’t so sure!
He showed how generative AI helped the team quickly create images of objects for the game, allowing them to easily decide if the designs were working. Once approved, these AI-generated designs would then be refined using the studio’s usual process: creating concept art, fully building the object, and polishing it. He emphasized that all the final assets in Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis were ultimately made by human artists.

I was listening to Spielberg on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, talking about his new movie, and the host asked about Elliott and E.T. – if they ever met up again. Spielberg said they didn’t, not exactly. He explained that Elliott did continue to dream about E.T., suggesting they always had a sort of psychic connection. He even pointed out that in the movie, E.T. touched Elliott’s forehead and promised, ‘I’ll be right here,’ which really cemented that bond for me.
Xbox saw strong success with games like Forza Horizon, Age of Empires, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Sea of Thieves, Grounded, and The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered. However, titles including Avowed, Kiln, Keeper, South of Midnight, Hellblade 2: Senua’s Saga, Forza Motorsport, and The Outer Worlds 2 didn’t sell as well as Microsoft hoped. According to reports, this is based on both sales numbers and how many people played the games through the Game Pass service.
I’m so excited about Godzilla The Ride: The Great Clash! It’s a super cool amusement park ride, but you can only find it at Seibuen Amusement Park in Japan. What makes this one really special is that Takashi Yamazaki – the director of the amazing Godzilla Minus One – actually wrote the story for it! It’s been running for over a year now, and they just dropped another trailer. This time, it’s showing off an all-new version of Mechagodzilla. Now, if you saw Minus One, you know Mechagodzilla didn’t show up in that film, but this ride could hint at its return in this new take on the Godzilla universe! I’ve included a link to the trailer below – definitely worth checking out!
You don’t need to be familiar with the previous Star Trek: Red Shirts series or even a huge Star Trek fan to enjoy Star Trek: Red Shirts: Ghost of the 21st Century. All you really need to know is that in Star Trek, characters wearing red shirts usually don’t survive for long! However, this new story offers a different take – instead of just dying, these red shirts are being exploited. This first issue takes their unfortunate situation and makes it even more intense and violent, blending elements of spy stories and crime thrillers into a captivating narrative.
