Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick can't seem to make up his mind about AI. Previously stating that AI has no inherent creativity, subsequently laying off the company's AI team just two weeks ago, he now seems to have U-turned on the subject.

Bethesda may not be able to remaster Fallout: New Vegas because it lacks the “engineering knowhow” to do it without the source code, according to a former lead on the game. Chris Avellone, who co-founded New Vegas developer Obsidian Entertainment and served as chief creative officer during its development, told YouTube channel TKs-Mantis that he didn’t think it would be possible for Bethesda to remaster the game from scratch. “Just really simply, I don’t think Bethesda has the engineering know-how to make a remaster of New Vegas at all,” Avellone said.

There are quite a few different stores that'll pop up around your island as you progress in Tomodachi Life Living the Dream. While some items are always available at each one, most inventory rotates on a daily or weekly basis, which means you'll likely want to know the shop reset times. Visiting shops to buy new items is the only way to get your hands on fresh goodies for your Miis and the village at large, so checking them frequently is crucial for building up your dream island. Here's when all shops reset in Tomodachi Life Living the Dream. Table of contentsTomodachi Life Living the Dream shop reset timeWhen does Fresh Kingdom reset in Tomodachi Life Living the Dream?When does Where & Wear reset in Tomodachi Life Living the Dream?When does T&C Reno reset in Tomodachi Life Living the Dream?When does the Marketplace reset in Tomodachi Life Living the Dream?Tomodachi Life Living the Dream shop reset time Screenshot by Destructoid The daily reset time for shops is generally 5am in your local timezone, although depending on the specific store you're wanting to check, this may vary slightly. When a shop refreshes, the available specials rotate, granting you access to a collection of new items to grab. Here's a full breakdown of what changes in each shop when the reset happens, and all specific timings for the shops that change outside of the norm. When does Fresh Kingdom reset in Tomodachi Life Living the Dream? The Fresh Kingdom food shop has four daily specials that reset every day at 5am. After purchasing any daily food special at least once, it's added to your collection, which means you can grab it from the regular food tabs at this shop to purchase more whenever you like.

When it refreshes, the full daily specials page is reset, offering a wide variety of new clothing and accessory items for your Miis.

When does the Marketplace reset in Tomodachi Life Living the Dream? The Marketplace acts a bit differently from other stores in Tomodachi Life Living the Dream, as it resets three times every day to bring you some fresh surprises. The exact items you can get from the first two time slots vary, but the Night Marketplace always features a Mystery Bag with an assortment of random items inside. Here are the hours for each Marketplace. The Morning Marketplace is open from 5am to 11:30am.The Afternoon Marketplace is open from 11:30am to 5pm.The Night Marketplace is open from 5pm to 5am.

It seems there's time for one more Assassin's Creed: ****** Flag Resynced leak before the game's big reveal — with part of its trailer now circulating online. The trailer clip shows our first look at in-game footage, featuring pirate hero Edward Kenway, the legendary Blackbeard, ship combat, and lots of explosions. And already, fans have begun lining up the comparisons with the original ****** Flag to see how the two versions of the game may compare. The short snippet shows Edward in his iconic pose, cutlasses drawn, then a scene on deck with Blackbeard and his telescope. There's a quick shot of Adéwalé mustering the crew to load the Jackdaw's cannons, before Edward takes the wheel and ship-to-ship combat begins. Kenway's original voice actor Matt Ryan can be heard too, following hints from the actor himself that he had returned to the role. First look at Assassins Creed ****** Flag Resynced gameplay. Reveal showcase coming this Thursday.[Hidden Content] — KAMI (@Okami13_) April 21, 2026 A shot featuring Edward and Blackbeard is now being pored over by fans, who have noted Resynced's vastly improved character models and lighting. Which, to be honest, you would expect considering that the original ****** Flag launched back in 2013. Assassin's Creed Blackflag - Original vs Remake !! [Hidden Content] — AMIT ROY (@GamerInVoid) April 21, 2026 "At least graphically ****** Flag Resynced looks really faithful," wrote one fan on social media. "I fear I'm getting excited." Said another: "It doesn't seem like a simple remaster either. It looks like we're getting a pretty decent, fun remake." Yesterday, Ubisoft announced that it would fully reveal Assassin's Creed ****** Flag Resynced this week, following years of leaks.
