"Terrorists are people that bomb people & blow people up, they're not people that break into missile manufacturers to stop people bombing & blowing people up" @IrvineWelsh on why he signed the letter in support of Sally Rooney & against the proscription of Palestine Action 🎯

This is sad news on multiple fronts - for those of us who worked there, for our friends and colleagues at BioWare who are impacted, and for fans who were looking forward to the next Mass Effect adventure.   I started my career at BioWare and will forever be grateful to the founders, Greg and Ray, for inviting me to join in BioWare's legendary journey. Its legacy will live on through those who were part of it and continue to create games through a passion for unforgettable stories, worlds and characters.

Devil May Cry 3 (2005) motion capture behind-the-scenes and live-action previz. Capcom were really ahead of the game in terms of stunt choreography even then.

Since she can only squeak, I figured I'd play around with ways she can communicate with the player. Also a great perk for our deaf players.

What a wonderful boost. Incredibly proud of all the teams, with a special shoutout to the animation team for pouring so much heart and craft into every frame. This is easily the greatest game I’ve had the pleasure of working on. Bring on November!
Watch Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look. Now on @netflix: netflix.com/GTAVI

Thanks! Ubisoft Barcelona did all the underwater levels. And that same team is being fired right now because Ubisoft thinks thats what we deserve :)
Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced deserves a Game of the Year nomination for its incredible underwater exploration and advanced water tech

Still can’t believe how much Apple Vision Pro Personas have evolved. Here’s a side-by-side comparison with Meta’s avatar system, pretty wild to see how far this tech has come.
