The demand for Apple Vision Pro is slowly dwindling, but the company’s long-term goals have not budged an inch. A new report states that the successor to the $3,499 AR headset could launch sometime by the end of 2026. However, there is a huge glaring issue that Apple needs to address, or this product category will most likely never take off, and that is pricing. For that to happen, the technology giant needs to bring down its component costs, but with each current-generation unit estimated to set back Apple by $1,542, the road to a more affordable head-mounted wearable is long and hard.

A long time ago, an MMORPG called Game of Thrones: Seven Kingdoms was in development at Bigpoint and Artplant, who previously made Battlestar Galactica Online. Announced in 2012, it would have been a browser game focused mostly on Player versus Player combat, where players could form their own small houses (guilds, essentially) and align themselves with the Stark, Baratheon, or Lannister great houses. However, the game never saw the light of day.

It also adds a public group for easier matchmaking with other players.

New week, new videogames! When will it end, etc. There aren't many obvious headliners out in the next few days, but there are a lot of tantalisingly bleak games. Let's see here, we've got a survival shooter that's essentially set in Black Mesa, a sardonical adventure about questing Russian Orthodox nuns, a game about running the company that starts the zombie apocalypse, and a cosy village grower with an atypical emphasis on disease and death. Lovely!

On one end of the gaming mouse spectrum, you have mice specialising in lightweight, low-latency capabilities that are purely built to be as fast and reliable at aiming and clicking as possible, and on the other it’s all about having unique ergonomics, as many buttons, and as much configurability as possible, weight and wires be damned. I’ve mostly preferred the latter category over the last few years, and it’s hard to imagine going any other way after I’ve gotten used to the convenience of a super customisable mouse. Spending time with the Corsair M75 Air has me reconsidering my needs, and I’ve been surprised at how a difference a lightweight wireless mouse makes in my day-to-day.

The long wait for news on the console has been full of ups and downs, dating back to the time when a Switch Pro was expected before a new system entirely.

This decision was later reversed.

Despite some early bumps in the road, Sonic the Hedgehog's live action movie adaptations have been a big success. A third film is due to arrive at the tail end of 2024, and if it's anything like its predecessors, it'll not only boom at the box office, but it'll also be another entertaining all-ages flick the whole family can enjoy.
