Frontiers

After numerous delays, Ubisoft has announced that Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora will arrive on December 7, 2023, with a new trailer to kick off the Ubisoft Forward event. Based on some of the highest-grossing films of all time, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora will not follow the events of either film in the series so far, but instead take players to a yet unseen location on Pandora known as the Western Frontier. The title was first announced in 2017 as being developed by Massive Entertainment, best known for The…

Ubisoft’s open-world Avatar game is almost here. At the company’s Summer Game Fest preview event, we got a substantial look at the story and gameplay of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. James Cameron introduced the game in a prerecorded segment, teasing “new environments new flora and fauna and characters”. A cinematic trailer lays out how this tale will fit in with the Avatar movies. In short, it’ll cover the events of both games, with the protagonist being kidnapped during the events of the first film and schooled by the…

In addition to exploring the colorful world of Pandora as a Na’vi, you’ll be doing some skydiving and, uh, shooting guns. (The protagonist was apparently has military training from humans.)The…

As a person who takes many last-minute trips, I’m used to flying on budget airlines. I’ve traveled thousands of miles on JetBlue (my ride-or-die), TAP Air Portugal (amazing), Vueling (decent), Ryanair (can you tell I studied abroad in Europe?), French Bee (they lost my bag at Paris Orly for nearly a week) and Spirit (who among us wouldn’t buy a $45 round-trip ticket to see Pitbull play in Nashville?). Yet Frontier Airlines didn’t come across my radar until more recently.The Denver-based low-cost carrier caught my…

Vint Cerf has been a near-constant influence on the internet since the days when he was helping create it in the first place. Today he wears many hats, among them VP and chief internet evangelist at Google. He is to be awarded the IEEE’s Medal of Honor at a gala in Atlanta, and ahead of the occasion he spoke with TechCrunch in a wide-ranging interview touching on his work, AI, accessibility and interplanetary internet. TechCrunch: To start out with, can you tell us how Google has changed in your time there? Cerf:…

Dota 2, bigger than before A new gameplay update is out for Dota 2, and it’s a big one. Seemingly everything, from items to hero attribute types and abilities, has been adjusted or altered, and even the map is getting a bit larger. The 7.33 patch for Dota 2, dubbed the New Frontiers update, hits many points. And though Dota updates have been traditionally massive compared to other live games, this one might be the most game-shifting since at least the 7.0 update. For starters, the map itself is now 40% larger. New…

Valve has announced the New Frontiers update for its multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) title Dota 2, with “major” changes including a large map expansion, new items, matchmaking changes and more. As outlined yesterday (April 20), Valve confirmed Dota 2‘s map has been “massively expanded” with 40 per cent more terrain. These new areas will include Twin Gates to teleport players from one side of the map to the other, along with Lotus Pools that produce fruit to restore players’ health and mana. Two new neutral…

Dota 2, one of the world’s most popular esports titles serving over 300,000 concurrent players on Steam as I write these words, has just dropped a massive update called New Frontiers that will likely change the free-to-play game forever. And the biggest difference by far is real estate: the game’s entire map is now 40 percent larger, letting you explore around the edges.“The core objective of the game remains the same,” assures Valve — “your lanes aren’t further away from each other, and everything you need to win is…

Not that long ago, any workflow that involved processing audio files—even a fairly simple task like transcribing a podcast episode—came with a set of tough choices. You could go manual (and waste hours, if not days, in the process), rely on a few clunky and ultimately underwhelming apps, or patch together a Frankenstein’s monster-equivalent of tools and code.Those days are behind us. The rise of powerful models and accessible AI interfaces has made working with audio and music exponentially more streamlined, and new…
