The Thumby ****** shrinks the Game Boy Advance to a handheld just two inches in size. | Image: TinyCircuits How small can you shrink the Nintendo Game Boy Advance? That’s a question Tiny Circuits is answering with the Thumby ******, a GBA clone measuring just two inches in size that still manages to fit a directional pad, shoulder buttons, a rumble motor, a 16-bit ****** screen, and the ability to link two of them together with a USB-C cable for multiplayer gaming. Unlike the myriad of Game Boy and GBA clones released by companies like Anbernic, the Thumby ****** is not an emulator. It doesn’t have enough processing power to play retro games nor enough storage to hold hundreds of ROM files. It’s powered by a 150MHz Raspberry Pi RP2350 processor that’s paired with just 16MB of storage — yes, that’s megabytes, not gigabytes. Not being able to play...

Capcom has shared a new gameplay deep ***** into ***** Rising Deluxe Remaster, confirming that players can turn off the revamped HUD, confirming there will be an indicator for item durability, and more. In a new video uploaded onto YouTube, ***** Rising Deluxe Remaster director Ryosuke Murai and producer Kei Morimoto play through roughly 11 minutes of ***** Rising Deluxe Remaster. The gameplay shown in early segments of the duo shows off some familiar gameplay mechanics, along with some new changes exclusive to the upcoming remaster. Among the biggest changes the duo revealed is that players can turn off the revamped heads-up display (HUD) available in ***** Rising Deluxe Remaster. "[T] here's an option to make it disappear after a while," Murai revealed during the deep *****. "o If you think the UI gets in the way, you can just use that." As gameplay before today's deep ***** revealed, the upcoming remaster has significantly changed the HUD, providing a more minimalistic approach. Nevertheless, the HUD could still pose as a distracting indicator for those who want to see everything on the screen without any obstructions. Two additional details in the gameplay deep ***** revealed that items now include a durability bar. Unlike the original game, where you have to figure out how many hits you could use non-firearm before it broke, ***** Rising Deluxe Remaster displays a small blue durability bar below the ******* to determine how much mileage it has before it breaks. Using item durability can potentially be a new defensive tactic for players when facing enemies with guns, as you can use some items, such as a barrel, to block gunfire. More importantly, Capcom has finally confirmed that the licensed music from the first game is back in ***** Rising Deluxe Remaster. As IGN previously reported, Capcom confirmed licensed music was returning, and at the 7:55 mark of the deep *****, the footage shows Frank West in Leisure Park at night fighting the convicts. Fans of the original ***** Rising are likely familiar with the Lifeseeker song Gone Guru, which will play every time you encounter this particular ******. Of course, if you are a content creator planning to play ***** Rising Deluxe Remaster and ***** getting a copyright strike, the deep ***** revealed a setting that removes the licensed background music (BGM). Another significant tidbit in the deep ***** is Capcom revealing Otis Washington's voice. Fans of the series, particularly the first game, will know that Otis Washington was one of many NPCs who never got a voice actor despite the fact that you regularly interacted with him via calls received on the transceiver. ***** Rising Deluxe Remaster is Capcom's second remaster of the 2006 game. Powered by the RE Engine, It introduces new facial expressions, realistic lighting, and more details for in-game environments. It also includes previously confirmed quality-of-life improvements, such as the ability to move while aiming, and improved survivor AI. ***** Rising Deluxe Remaster is out on September 19 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.

fter first contact with fans yesterday, critics are somehow even more disappointed with the Borderlands movie. They hate it. They don't even give it credit as "so bad it's good." It is simply, by all appearances, a truly and extremely bad movie. It holds a remarkable 3% approval on aggregator Rotten Tomatoes as of press time. Without further improvement that will place Borderlands at a comfortable midpoint on RT's 100 worst movies of all time list… and at first place on their Worst Blockbusters of All Time list—below even 2010's disastrous The Last Airbender...

The Esports World Cup for Teamfight Tactics kicked off on Aug. 8 to a fanfare light show and a giant LAN stage—but it lacked everything that made the Riot Vegas Open memorable. Eight teams from around the globe stepped onto the EWC stage for the first of four days of competition in Riyadh, to silence. Teams competed in the newly founded 4v4 team format to determine the top two advancing to the playoffs. Under the banner of bringing esports together, many fans and players opposed the EWC since it’s a Saudi Arabia-backed event—while some player couldn’t take part at all. But with the industry and teams hurting for cash, the money was too good to pass on. Yet, despite the fanfare and money thrown into the TFT event, it has nothing on the Vegas Open.

Image: Oculus Studios Meta is closing Ready At Dawn, its first-party studio behind VR games like Echo VR and Lone Echo, Android Central reported on Wednesday. The shutdown is effective immediately. Meta acquired the studio in 2020. As for why Meta is shutting down the studio, here’s what Android Central said: One report in mid-July said that Meta was cutting its Reality Labs division’s budget by 20% by 2026, and an internal memo sent to Meta employees by Gio Hunt, VP Oculus Studios — seen by Android Central — supports this reasoning. A Meta spokesperson told Android Central that the cuts weren’t being made to “save money,” per se. Rather, these cuts are being made to ensure that Reality Labs stays within the new budgetary constraints and that Oculus Studios... Continue reading… View the full article
