Tekken 8's latest trailer has actor Brian Cox answer why 'these fathers and sons keep throwing each other off cliffs'

Tekken 8’s release date is fast approaching. As well as the fast-paced brutal PvP fighting action, players can look forward to an all-new campaign, which will be a continuation of the Mishima bloodline saga that series veterans know and love.

However, if you’re new to the series or have just forgotten some of the story details, fear not. Bandai Namco has now released a lengthy trailer summarizing the story so far, so that you can be all caught up and ready to enjoy all the events of Tekken 8. And, for some reason, the entire trailer is narrated by Scottish actor Brian Cox.

In the trailer, Cox (who’s well known for his role as Logan Roy in the HBO series Succession), answers a whole host of questions that you might have been pondering. These include “what the hell is a Devil Gene, and why do these fathers and sons keep throwing each other off cliffs?” For all the juicy answers, you can take a look below:

TRG’s evergreen writer, Kara Phillips, was able to play through the first four chapters of Tekken 8’s story during a hands-on preview. She wrote: “Boasting seamless transitions between cutscenes and combat, Tekken 8 quickly got its hooks into me despite how little time I had with the story itself. Within the preview, we only got to experience the first four chapters, which soon fly by once you’re stuck in and jumping between brawls.”

The highly anticipated fighting game is set to launch on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on January 26, and no sooner. Last week, posters photographed in a store which showed a January 21 release date for the PS5 version of the game surfaced online, but Bandai Namco stated to TRG that “it appears there has been a misprint.”

The latest Apple TV 4K test lets you watch four sports streams at once

Apple is trying something new with the latest beta version of tvOS 16.5: the option to watch up to four simultaneous streams at once. Right now it's limited to live sports streamed through the Apple TV app on the Apple TV 4K , specifically MLB Friday Night Baseball and the MLS Season Pass. A multi-view option was spotted in the tvOS software last month, but the code was hidden and not enabled. MacRumors reported that the feature would be enabled this weekend, and beta testers have since been able to use it. As yet multi-view hasn't been officially announced by Apple, but it's expected that tvOS 16.5 is going to be pushed out in its final form within the next month or so. WWDC 2023 is around the corner as well, when we should be hearing about the next major updates for Apple's various operating systems – including tvOS 17. How it works Over at 9to5Mac there's a hands-on demonstrating how the multi-view feature works, and it's pretty much as you would expe...

TechRadar's Year in Review: AI revolution, smartphone evolution, and visions of the future

If I had to sum up 2023 in one word it would be AI. Okay, technically that’s two initials, but let’s not quibble – because there’s no doubt that it provided the year in tech with its main story arc. Artificial intelligence was everywhere this year, as every company in the world gawped at the massive impact of ChatGPT, and decided they wanted to jump aboard that bandwagon. You could barely move for new chatbots, new image generators, and new AI-enhanced features in every device released in 2023. And there’s no sign of that changing in 2024; in fact, we expect it to be an even bigger deal. Elsewhere, phones and laptops did much the same as they had the previous year – well, except where they had new AI-enhanced features – so it was in the virtual reality space where bigger changes were afoot. If the Meta Quest 3 was impressive then the Apple Vision Pro looks to be genuinely game-changing, and we can’t wait to see what impact it has in the next 12 months. Of course we also saw plenty ...

Garmin's new radar-equipped tail light will keep you safe on your e-bike

Garmin's Varia bike radars are some of the most popular pieces of cycling tech around – and now the company has delivered its first rearview radar to have been specially designed for some of the best e-Bikes .   Garmin's Varia range mounts to the back of your bike and broadcasts a radar signal behind you, so you can get visual and audible alerts when something's overtaking you. Even better, the new Varia eRTL615 plugs directly into most e-bikes, with no battery required. Because the catchily-named Varia eRTL615 is also a tail light, it'll also make sure you're visible to other vehicles too, promising to emit a flashing or solid light that's visible from up to a mile away in daylight. To connect Garmin's new radar tail light to your e-bike, you'll need to pick the right Garmin adapter cable (which isn't included). You can buy power cables compatible with Bosch, Shimano, or USB-A terminals or connections, with more info on those available on Garmin...
