A new challenger has appeared. In the fiercely competitive world of video games, it's common for new contenders to fade away as quickly as they burst on to the scene. But Battlefield 6 is hoping to change that. It's the latest entry in a long-running military shooter series often framed as a grittier, more realistic answer to Call of Duty. The title's never quite managed to match its most famous rival in terms of sales or players, but there are signs the new installment could close the gap.

Could your loved one be reborn as an AI? Resurrecting deceased loved ones using artificial intelligence could harm mental health, create dependence on the technology and even spur a new religion, researchers have warned. AI chatbots trained on text from the internet have become ever more capable and convincing in recent years.

Nobody knows who she was, just that she was different: a teenage girl from over 50,000 years ago of such strange uniqueness she looked to be a'hybrid' ancestor to modern humans that scientists had never seen before. Only recently, researchers have uncovered evidence she wasn't alone. In a 2019 study analysing the complex mess of humanity's prehistory, scientists used artificial intelligence (AI) to identify an unknown human ancestor species that modern humans encountered – and shared dalliances with – on the long trek out of Africa millennia ago. "About 80,000 years ago, the so-called Out of Africa occurred, when part of the human population, which already consisted of modern humans, abandoned the African continent and migrated to other continents, giving rise to all the current populations", explained evolutionary biologist Jaume Bertranpetit from the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Spain. As modern humans forged this path into the landmass of Eurasia, they forged some other things too – breeding with ancient and extinct hominids from other species. Up until recently, these occasional sexual partners were thought to include Neanderthals and Denisovans, the latter of which were unknown until 2010.

The audio features of the PS5′s DualSense controller also shocked me. Iki Island introduces new enemy types, including warriors who chant to energize and strengthen the enemy forces. The rallying cry for this new Mongol army includes the ancient practice of Tuvan throat singing, and its hauntingly beautiful, droning notes will creep through your controller. The clarity of the audio through my controller made me feel as if I was fighting in a fourth dimension. Pairing this with effective tactile feedback of metal, cloth and wood undulating through my controller with every sword strike, and this year-old video game found new ways to absorb the player into the experience.

I think the thing that really got people at a deep level was this idea that we weren't actually making one story,

To me, the mark of a beautifully crafted open-world map is when it makes you want to explore even when there's no quest or even a clear reason pushing you in a certain direction. You just want to see what the world looks like "over there." There have been dozens of times I've scaled down cliff faces to investigate deserted beaches below, just'cus. Some of those unheralded corners of the island inspired as much as awe as major points of interest like the Golden Forest, Hidden Springs or Mount Jogaku.

"Devil May Cry 5" offers an entirely new playable character, and not just anyone, but Vergil, the handsome, soft-spoken brother of hero Dante and the series antagonist. This is Vergil's first return to players' hands since the 2006 special edition of "Devil May Cry 3." Along with ray-traced graphics, it's practically an entirely new game with a beloved fan-favorite and long-missed character. Vergil runs through the same story chapters while receiving very few updates. Besides, "Devil May Cry 5" was already a stellar-looking title on the older consoles, already hitting the 60-frames-per-second mark that other series are only now catching up to. The ray tracing is nice, but merely a bonus that will go unnoticed; this series doesn't emphasize graphical fidelity so much as it does performance.

The effect of this is the creation of a straw "authentic Japanese experience," inaccessible to those who do not live in Japan, a standard those living abroad are evaluated against. Living in Japan would mean that a Japanese person would be a part of the majority culture. Living abroad, as many of those being harassed online do, they are unable to escape the fact as a minority elsewhere they must be a representative to Japanese culture, willing or not. And often, the form of Japanese culture that has been exported around the world has tied in one way or another to the image of the samurai.
