The creative director for the highly anticipated Halo Infinite is no longer working on the game and has left 343 Industries altogether. Halo Infinite is currently in deep development, with a scheduled release window of holiday 2020. Halo Infinite and its development have been something of an enigma since the game was announced. The company first unveiled the next major Halo title at E3 2018 with a teaser trailer built in the new Slipspace Engine....

The head of Halo Transmedia, Kiki Wolfkill, recently spoke at a Fortune conference in Singapore on ways that the company keeps the beloved Halo franchise relevant. Chief amongst those ways appears to be keeping a rolling roster of ongoing content for the latest video game in the series, which means that we could be looking at a Halo Infinite live service model. It looks like we’re going to get our first look at Halo Infinite at E3 this year....

The first developer beta of iOS 12.1 was released last week, and it brings with it several new changes and features, including one noteworthy feature specifically aimed at iPhone XS users. Watch our video walkthrough for a brief hands-on look. This initial beta doesn’t contain a lot of changes, but the three changes that have been uncovered are all significant in their own way. First and foremost, Group FaceTime returns, a feature that Apple heavily touted in its iOS 12 pre-release page....

GoPro has updated its iOS app with support for the Apple Watch, demonstrated in the video below featuring pro skateboarder Mikey Taylor. Owners previously had to use a third-party app to control their action cams from the Watch. The iPhone app has also been updated to make it easier to grab still images from video clips and easily trim videos to 5-, 15- or 30-second lengths using the smart editing feature first introduced in September …...

This was a surprisingly difficult list to write, not just because there have been an awful lot of couples in Grey’s Anatomy over the last 15 years, but also because a lot of those relationships were so perfect that we couldn’t really imagine them being with anyone else. Imagine splitting up Meredith and Derek, for example! However, despite the medical drama’s impressive track record, there have been a few couples that fans weren’t exactly too keen about....

Fans of the film will find Groundhog Day: Like Father Like Son an ultimately worthy experience, mixing a similar blend of sarcastic humor and sincere emotional growth, but impatient gamers will probably grate against the clunky UI and unavoidable padding Video games and the 90s fantastical comedy Groundhog Day have considerable crossover. That 1993 classic explored some rhythms familiar to gamers improving their abilities in an attempt to surpass a given challenge....

If you’re looking for an eGPU that doesn’t occupy a lot of desk real estate, you basically have two options — the Sonnet eGFX Breakaway Puck, and Gigabyte’s just-released RX 580 Gaming Box. Whereas the Sonnet option comes with an RX 570, Gigabyte packs a more powerful RX 580 inside an area that’s a little bit larger than the Breakaway Puck. Should MacBook Pro users looking for a portable eGPU solution consider the RX 580 Gaming Box?...

Following Green Lantern’s notable exclusion from the lineup for the first Justice League live-action movie, it’s recently come out that DC and Warner Bros. are moving forward with their previously announced Green Lantern Corps movie. The DC Extended Universe Green Lantern film reportedly revolves around both John Stewart and Hal Jordan, with screenwriters David Goyer and Justin Rhodes attached to handle the screenplay. A potential casting shortlist for Hal Jordan specifically has now been unveiled, too....

According to a forum post on tonymacx86, Apple’s latest release of Mountain Lion, the 10.8 developer preview, is able to natively support AMD Radeon HD 6950 and 6970 without the need for any tweaks or hacks. As for the 6950 and 6970 specifically, the reports originate from the netkas.org forums where several posters report a 6950 running Netkas EFI working natively in 10.8. One poster even reported the 6950 continues to be recognized in Lion with unmodified drivers after “warm booting back to Lion from Mountain Lion....

Guardians of the Galaxy was one of Marvel’s biggest hits, turning former unknown heroes like Star-Lord and Groot into A-listers and making the sequel one of the most anticipated films on the studio’s slate. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 hits in May and is going to bring with it even more obscure comic book characters that are now set to become iconic. The team themselves will be joined by returning characters Yondu and Nebula, as well as franchise newcomer Mantis (played by Pom Klementieff), but that’s just the tip of the spaceberg....

Guillermo del Toro is a very busy filmmaker. 2017 sees the release of his next directing effort, Cold War-era fantasy The Shape of Water, and he’s hard at work producing Pacific Rim: Uprising, as well as overseeing Netflix Original Trollhunters. His schedule is so perpetually hectic, in fact, that he has a list of projects he’s shelved longer than most other director’s filmography (most notably The Hobbit, the failed Silent Hills game and DC’s Dark Universe)....

In the initial two betas, the new Home screen functionality for widgets, App Library, and page editing wasn’t very obvious. To help with discoverability, Apple has added three new explainer pop-ups to the mix to help new users get started. Although these explainers may be tweaked in some way prior to the final version of iOS 14, I expect these to become permanent pieces of the iOS 14 getting-started experience. As always, this is just a small part of the changes present in beta 3, so have a look at our bulleted list below for all of the changes covered....

The Netatmo Weather Station has existed as a product for a while, but only recently added HomeKit support, which is what piqued my interest. I’ve been testing the Netatmo Weather Station for about a week, and I think it is really great. Any drawbacks originate from weaknesses in the HomeKit standard; these are Apple’s problems to fix. The Weather Station is really a modular ecosystem of accessories. However, you get a lot of mileage out of just the core product — which is what I’ve been using....

As we highlighted in our 50 new changes post, iOS 10 beta 2 is stuffed to gills with tons of new updates and features. In the following video walkthrough, we’d like to highlight another iOS 10 beta 2 change — the presence of all new Bedtime Wake Up Sounds in the default Clock app. To find these new Wake Up Sounds, you’ll need to be running iOS 10 beta 2. From there, simply open the stock Clock app, and tap the Bedtime tab, followed by the Options button in the upper left-hand corner....
