In 2006, Epic Games released Gears of War, a brutal and cinematic reinvention of the third-person shooter. In this episode, we trace Cliff Bleszinski's journey from teenage shareware designer to creative director at Epic, and how his vision helped transform a scrapped Unreal prototype into one of gaming's most iconic franchises. We explore the birth of the Lancer, the evolution of cover-based combat, and how Epic's technical mastery of Unreal Engine 3 changed console gaming forever. Our conversation covers Gears' critical and commercial success, its influence on modern shooters, and how it became a defining moment for the Xbox 360. Join us as we reload, rev up, and fight through the Locust Horde on today's trip down Memory Card Lane.Read transcript

This week on the M2 Podcast, we explore major shifts and surprises across the gaming world. Halo: Campaign Evolved is making its long-awaited return with a full Unreal Engine 5 remake — complete with reimagined visuals, modernized gameplay, and even a debut on PlayStation 5. We then dive into Arc Raiders, a new extraction shooter that breaks the genre's grim formula by focusing on fun and creative chaos instead of frustration and loss. Meanwhile, Amazon is stepping away from the MMO market, halting development on New World: Aeternum amid sweeping layoffs and pivoting toward smaller-scale party games. And finally, Ubisoft is back in the headlines with more layoffs and buyouts as Massive Entertainment refocuses on The Division series, leaving the future of Star Wars and Avatar uncertain.0:00 Intro 1:27 Updates26:35 Halo: Campaign Evolved https://tinyurl.com/3eh6fp3k 53:24 Arc Raiders is an Extraction Shooter That Actually Wants You to Have Fun https://tinyurl.com/f7f64xhx 1:05:17 Amazon is ditching MMOs https://tinyurl.com/458vcuev 1:17:00 Ubisoft is laying off more workers and offering voluntary buyouts https://tinyurl.com/59vk5kvx 1:26:22 OutroLeave a LIKE and a comment, thanks for watching/listening!-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------PODCAST ►► https://anchor.fm/m2podcastAMAZON Music ► https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/091902c3-b83b-487c-8fe7-4c96787434fe/M2-PodcastAPPLE ► https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1531832410BREAKER ► https://www.breaker.audio/m2-podcast-2CASTRO ► https://castro.fm/podcast/6f69d373-d879-46d9-9f1c-bcf7c4bf1741GOOGLE ► https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy8zNTYwNWZiMC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw==OVERCAST ► https://overcast.fm/itunes1531832410/m2-podcastPOCKETCASTS ► https://pca.st/5jghvf6eRADIOPUBLIC ► https://radiopublic.com/m2-podcast-GMZkY4SPOTIFY ► https://open.spotify.com/show/2VedhO03IRoHERJqF6Sy87STICHER ► https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/m2-podcastTUNEIN ► http://tun.in/pj3ZI #podcastJOIN THE DISCORD! ►► https://discord.gg/Kp5Gre6FOLLOW THE TWITTER! ►►https://twitter.com/m2_podcastKyleHeath Socials:TWITTER ►► https://twitter.com/mrjkheathMadMikeWillEatU Socials:TWITTER ►► https://twitter.com/madmikewilleatu

These companies are managing money they don't even have and actual products and services and "real" value be damned Big Copilot feature dump for consumers with a human touch: Mico, Copilot Groups, memory improvements, connectors, Proactive Actions in preview, Copilot for Health, Copilot in Edge improvements, and Copilot in Windows updates from last week Microsoft 365 Copilot is getting App Builder and Workflow agents GitHub Copilot to support third-party AI agents Grammarly rebrands as Superhuman Xbox and gaming Credible report claims Microsoft requires Xbox/Microsoft Gaming to deliver 30 percent profit margin That is impossible and this is clearly coming from Amy Hood and has led to the ensh*ttification of Xbox as a platform As Microsoft launches first gaming handhelds, all anyone wants to talk about is the next-generation Xbox console.

This week on The Gaming Duo, Halo finally breaks free from Xbox coming to PlayStation 5. We're joined once again by Tony, aka Samurai Kibiji, to navigate what this massive move means for both Xbox and PlayStation's futures.We also dive into the rumored Battlefield 6 battle royale mode that could launch this week and discuss Xbox President Sarah Bond's bold statement that exclusives are officially outdated.Strap in Episode 258 of The Gaming Duo starts now!

A big announcement was expected during the HALO Championship Series, and it certainly delivered, as one of the worst-kept secrets in gaming finally became real: the HALO Combat Evolved remake has evolved into HALO Campaign Evolved. Where all of the story levels are remade in Unreal Engine, a new set of prequel levels is added with Sgt Johnson and Master Chief, and it is also coming to PlayStation 5. Set to make its series debut on the console at some point in 2026. Does Sean feel anything for this? Also, Sarah Bond echoes the sentiments of console exclusives being old hat, but Sony and Nintendo would beg to differ, as they continue to pump them out for their consoles. But will it really make a difference for the "Premium" console/hybrid that Microsoft is planning as the next and perhaps final "Xbox"? Marc certainly has some thoughts here. Plus, Marc has been playing PowerWash Simulator 2 and Wreckreation, Sean has spent more time in Ivalice with Final Fantasy Tactics. Shawn Layden says Free-to-Play are "not real" games. Pokemon Legends Z-A sells big, Madden has a new exclusivity deal with the NFL, a pair of indies do well, and Ubisoft layoffs begin.

On this Geek Freaks Headlines, we break down today's Halo news: a full remake of the original Halo campaign called Halo: Campaign Evolved built in Unreal Engine 5 with 4K visuals, refreshed audio, and returning cast re-recording lines. For the first time, Halo is coming to PlayStation alongside Xbox and PC. The remake adds three new prequel missions, nine series weapons like the Energy Sword and Battle Rifle, modern mechanics such as vehicle hijacking and Skulls, and a big emphasis on four-player co-op with split-screen and cross-play. There's no competitive multiplayer here, and we talk through why that choice probably makes sense for a UE5 transition and a multi-platform launch. 00:00 The announcement and what “Campaign Evolved” actually is00:18 Platforms and engine shift to UE500:33 Visual and audio overhaul with returning cast00:58 New prequel missions and added weapons01:15 Modern mechanics in a classic campaign01:29 Co-op focus, split-screen, cross-play, and the “golf cart” Warthog seat01:45 No competitive multiplayer and why that might be02:00 Read on the strategy: learning UE5 and shipping on PS502:16 Nostalgia hit and why this remake still lands for longtime fansThis is a ground-up remake of the 2001 campaign, not a visual toggle remaster.Launching on Xbox, PC, and PlayStation marks a major shift for Halo's future.Three new prequel missions connect Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson.Nine series weapons and vehicle hijacking bring later-game features into CE.Four-player online co-op, two-player split-screen on console, and cross-play are in.No competitive multiplayer keeps the focus on story and co-op.Likely a stepping stone to UE5 across Halo, with lessons for a future mainline entry. “It's not the Anniversary toggle. This one is built in Unreal Engine 5 and will feel very different.” “For the very first time Halo will be on PlayStation. It's the end of an era.” “There is no competitive multiplayer.

The Cinematography Podcast Episode 326: Matthew Libatique, ASC Cinematographer Matty Libatique, ASC, has had a productive year. Shortly after moving to New York, he began work on Spike Lee's film, Highest 2 Lowest. Immediately after wrapping that project, Matty prepped for Darren Aronofsky's Caught Stealing, and then, following a short break, he collaborated with Bradley Cooper on Is This Thing On? (which releases in December.) He found it fascinating to explore New York City through the lenses of three distinct directors, feeling privileged to shoot three New York-centric movies back-to-back. The New York depicted in Highest 2 Lowest and Caught Stealing are starkly different, depending on where people from different socioeconomic backgrounds live. Both films effectively convey the diverse realities of living there. "When you look at both films, separately, you have a feeling of New York, you feel like you're living in New York inside of these films," Matty explains. "And it's because the directors live in New York and have grown up in New York." During location scouting with both Lee and Aronofsky, Matty noted their deep familiarity and emotional attachment to where they chose to shoot. He feels that movies faking New York locations lack the inherent authenticity of shooting in the real city. Highest 2 Lowest is a reinterpretation of the Akira Kurosawa classic, High and Low. Matty used High and Low as an influence, even though Lee was not making a direct adaptation. He found the Kurosawa film helped him see the hierarchy between the affluent and the poor, and the literal rise to the top of a hill by the wealthy industrialist from his humble origins. These themes became the seed of his visual inspiration. In Highest 2 Lowest, Denzel Washington's record executive David King inhabits a high-rise, literally looking down on the world from a high vantage point. The film is intensely character-driven, and with a large ensemble cast, Matty often shot with two to three cameras per scene. The film used an actual exterior of the Olympia building in Dumbo, Brooklyn while the crew shot on a volume stage set for the interiors. Matty found shooting on the volume stage and working with Unreal Engine to create the background images for the penthouse set to be the most challenging aspect of the shoot. It demanded far more advance planning and preparation to perfect the background images than the production schedule allowed. He had to make early, calculated decisions and plan far in advance for shooting the plates that would be used as the backgrounds. Spike Lee frequently incorporates various film formats in his movies, and Matty saw an opportunity to use both a 16mm and a new KODAK Super 8 film camera once the action in Highest 2 Lowest shifted outside the controlled apartment environment. He use both the 16mm and the Super 8 on the subway and in scenes of the Puerto Rican Day parade, also combining them with different film stocks. Lee cut between these distinct formats, which made a sense of heightened chaos. Matty says, “It was just an effort to create chaos, you know, and having the unmatched visual images cut together to sort of just mimic a chaos around this character.” Caught Stealing recreates the New York City of the 1990s, with Martin Scorsese's After Hours serving as a major reference. Matty felt that the character Hank Thompson (Austin Butler) needed a distinct look to articulate the story. He thought about the rust-red tint of the Lee Marvin film, Point Blank, and used a Camtec Color-Con2 to deliberately bleed red color into a few key scenes. Even though Caught Stealing is entertaining and full of action, it was important to Aronofsky to tell a strong, narratively-driven story, with performance and character making the sequences as exciting and brutal as possible. “Like all Darren movies, there's a construct, there's a box, he sets up the architecture of the film,” Matty says.

Kako izgleda put od crtanja na papiru do VR projekata za najveće developere? U 336. epizodi Pojačala Ivan razgovara sa Nebojšom Zaklanom, arhitektom, suosnivačem i direktorom Case 3D i direktorom Sooade, o njegovom putu kroz kreativne uloge i preduzetništvo na preseku arhitekture, 3D-a i tehnologije. Razgovor prati odrastanje devedesetih, formiranje senzibiliteta za strip, gejming i tehnologiju, te studije arhitekture, uz prelazak sa analognog crtanja na digitalne alate. U fokusu je evolucija Case 3D: od klasičnih vizuelizacija ka real-time okruženjima, uz prihvatanje Unreal Engine-a i rane VR projekte, što je kompaniji dalo prednost u razvoju interaktivnih alata za nekretnine. Epizoda osvetljava kako su vizuelizacije od „lepih slika“ za marketing prerasle u konkretne alate za odlučivanje i prodaju, uz uvid u procese, tim i rast kompanije. Ton je prijateljski i analitičan: od uvodnog okvira o promenama struke i ambiciji priče Case 3D, do praktičnih lekcija o partnerstvu, istraživanju i razvoju i dugoročnom razmišljanju u industriji. O čemu smo pričali u epizodi: - Najava epizode - Početak razgovora - Kad porastem biću - Život i škola 90tih - Fakultetski dani - Spoj arhitekture i 3D tehnologije - Arhitektura nekad i sad - Šta posle faksa? - Far cry menja sve - Case 3D - Nova vizija - Real-time tehnologija i prvi VR projekti - Digitalizacija u real estate industriji - Razlike u poslovanju zapad vs istok - Case 3D danas i planovi za budućnost Podržite nas na BuyMeACoffee: https://bit.ly/3uSBmoa Pročitajte transkript ove epizode: https://bit.ly/48xx10e Posetite naš sajt i prijavite se na našu mailing listu: http://bit.ly/2LUKSBG Prijavite se na naš YouTube kanal: http://bit.ly/2Rgnu7o Pratite Pojačalo na društvenim mrežama: Facebook: http://bit.ly/2FfwqCR Twitter: http://bit.ly/2CVZoGr Instagram: http://bit.ly/2RzGHjN

Set on dystopian Kairos, this darker "soft reboot" trades Borderlands 3's memes for grounded resistance vibes, boasting 20-25 hour main story, 50-60 with sides, and 120-170 completionist runs. Sales exploded: 1M+ on Steam in days, another 1M+ consoles pre-Switch, 5M units in 48 hours (franchise-fastest), pushing lifetime totals past 100M ($150M+ revenue).

Today in news that we wish we never knew about: Xbox's reboot of Perfect Dark was nearly saved! Their dance partner? Take Two Interactive who serves as publisher of Rockstar. Yes, indeed, a recent report states that these two were working out a deal similar to Xbox selling off Tango Gameworks alongside the Hi Fi Rush IP to Krafton in order to help the company. Unfortunately, a falling out between both sides occurred over an IP ownership dispute. Now, Perfect Dark is doomed to sit in "IP Jail" with many of Xbox's other abandoned properties. At least Banjo has some company now.

Tom and co-host Drew tackle some of the most pressing issues shaping our world right now—from trade deals and tech breakthroughs to the complexities of American politics and evolving cultural narratives. The conversation kicks off with reactions to a major US-EU trade agreement and what it means for America's place in the global economy. Tom and Drew dive into the ongoing gridlock in Congress, sparked by passionate remarks from Cory Booker, and discuss whether polarization is crippling the nation—or protecting it from “doing anything really crazy.” They draw surprising parallels between the American political landscape and other countries, especially China. Next, the team explores a viral ad campaign starring Sydney Sweeney, unpacking the culture war currently raging over beauty standards, identity, and the stories we tell ourselves as a society. Tom makes the case for the power of uplifting narratives—both for individuals and entire nations—while warning of the risks when those narratives turn toxic.
