Evan Blass offers high-resolution images of Samsung's upcoming foldables Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Galaxy Z Fold 4. The latter mobile phone is shown in the colors beige, black and gray. Both phones look like their predecessors at first glance and we suspect the biggest news can be found internally and in the hinges. Samsung recently told that the Flip is significantly more popular than the Fold, which is likely partly to do with the large price difference. Of those who bought a foldable from Samsung last year, 70 percent chose a Flip.

The term "pixel perfection" gets thrown around a bit sometimes, but in the case of The Excavation of Hob's Barrow (pc) it feels justified. Looks fantastic! The adventure is about antiquarian Thomasina Bateman who, via a mysterious letter, ends up in a sleepy small town with buried secrets. Maybe you're not trying to prevent people from getting in, but something from getting out ? Well, this is an adventure with underlying horror, with a so-called pagan horror ("folk horror"). The Excavation of Hob's Barrow is being developed by the skilled Cloak and Dagger Games, but a perhaps greater stamp of quality is that Wadjet Eye acts as publisher. The modern champions of point-and-click adventures have brought us Blackwell, Gemini Rue, Technobabylon, and Unavowed, among others .

We haven't exactly been spoiled with cool dinosaur games in recent years, but The Lost Wild looks like it could be an interesting title. Now we've got a new trailer for the game, but unfortunately it's not a pure gameplay trailer. Instead, it's more of a cinematic showcase, but it looks to be in-engine and we'll hope it's representative of the actual game, because it looks really good. The dinosaurs in this survival/horror game will use advanced AI that allows them to adapt to what is happening, so maybe something along the lines of Alien Isolation? The developers also say that we will be faced with dinosaurs that behave like wild animals, not monsters. It's entirely single-player, and the focus is on stealth and survival, not action. We still don't have a release date, but they're teasing us that it's coming to Steam "soon", according to the video description - on the other hand, it says "2024" on Steam, so it's a bit unclear. There are also plans for versions for the current gen consoles, but they don't specify a specific time frame for when that might happen.

These Derelict Reclaimers come with puzzle traversal elements along with multiple legal and illegal mission types which include delivery and FPS combat in and around the crash sites using the new planetary navigation mesh. There are multiple Reclaimer Derelicts in space with three associated delivery, investigation, and mercenary missions. We've also added a new ground-based Derelict Reclaimer site inhabited by NPCs called "Ghost Hollow," which involves delivery, bounty hunter, and mercenary missions. Derelict Colonialism Outposts Added new derelict versions of the Colonialism Outposts into Stanton. This initial release will see 5 unique outpost locations on microTech with new delivery missions, small traversal puzzles, and AI guards that utilize the new planetary navmesh along with the new drop ship reinforcement system. Added the Snake Pit Race Track AI AI - Planetary Navigation This system allows NPCs to move on planetary surfaces using a dynamically generated navigation mesh.

The first implementation of this feature will be at the Reclaimer and Colonialism Outpost Derelict Points of Interest. AI - Landing Improvements This enables AI ships to land and deliver reinforcements on non-structured ground areas like planetary terrain where a pre-defined landing area and assistance from Air Traffic Control is not available. Gameplay Illegal Collect and Delivery Missions New set of delivery missions focusing on illegal cargo. These will be offered by Red Wind Linehaul once the player reaches a high enough reputation with them as a courier. The player will be sent to sketchy, run-down locations like drug labs and stash houses and is tasked with delivering goods between them, some of which may not be legal. The intro mission should be available around Hurston if you have rank 2 courier rep with Red Wind Linehaul. The illegal missions are available outside of Hurston's jurisdiction if you have a high enough Red Wind Linehaul reputation and have completed the intro mission in Hurston. These missions come in 5 different versions, each with a different quantity of cargo and a corresponding monetary and reputation reward given on completion.

AI Improved NPC Face Randomization to be More Diverse Gameplay Combat Service Beacons V2 Updates to Combat Service Beacon Gameplay for a more varied and rewarding experience. This update hooks combat service beacons into Quantum to allow the system to determine when, where, and what difficulty will occur. This brings a range of 10 levels of difficulty to space combat beacons which will start players at low tiers with easier targets and scales up massively as the player gains reputation to include higher difficulty levels with tougher targets, larger payouts, and rare encounters that may require teams of players to take down the target. Updated combat assist beacons to only display on screen notifications to players who are currently in a vehicle. Food and Drink QoL Purchasing Update Food and drinks can now be purchased in multiples using many shop kiosks throughout the universe. Shopping Kiosk QoL Updates Updating shopping Kiosk with new QoL features. General UI polish pass.

Single player, open world and under development by new EA studio, according to rumor. For almost fifteen years, Marvel has been a big deal, following the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The film success has of course echoed in the gaming world, with both successful (Insomniac's Spider-Man) and less successful (Marvel's Avengers) results. However, the feeling is that this is just the beginning. Earlier this summer we reported that EA was also rumored to have a Marvel game in the works. The details were sparse. Now Giant Bomb's Geoff Grubb is filling up with significantly more layers. "It is a single-player game, it is in very early development, and the game starts with Black Panther being dead. The player is going to take on the challenges of becoming the new Black Panther and that seems to be the set-up for the game. EA's ambition should be to make a "big open-world game". This is what Grubb says in a podcast (thanks, VGC) and believes that it is "very likely" that the game will be developed by a new EA studio led by Kevin Stephens, who bossed Monolith Productions, known for Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War – with a Wonder Woman game on the horizon. Unclear if Black Panther has any major similarities to the Middle-earth games, but the single player and open world focus definitely doesn't speak against it. We will hopefully have reason to return.
