Ex-Forza Horizon devs are making an open world racing game called Clutch that feels like Need for Speed and Forza collided into one game

- 150 customizable cars
- Installable car gadgets
- Crime and Police chases
- Open world in South of France
- Near 1:1 recreation of Monaco
- Singleplayer/COOP Story Campaign
- PvPvE multiplayer mode
- 16 player online sessions
- Jane Parry
- Walkable car meets and showrooms

I got a hands off demo at SGF and it was one of the 3 games that impressed me most out of the 20 or so games that I saw during that weekend.

The next generation of Apple Intelligence powers an entirely new Siri: making the apps and experiences you rely on across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro more personal and helpful than ever.

[Marques Brownlee @MKBHD]

The demos of Siri AI are very grounded in personal context. So you can talk to Siri and bring in real-world knowledge, but it also finally does the things you'd expect: Searches your messages, contacts, Maps history, etc. And it can take actions in these same places: Add photos to albums, send iMessages, add events to calendar, add reminders, etc. Good baseline stuff.
