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.”

Windows Copilot leak suggests deeper assimilation with Windows 11 features

Key Windows 11 features may soon be customizable as Microsoft further integrates its Windows Copilot AI assistant into the operating system. This tidbit comes from tech news site Windows Latest , which claims to have discovered new .json (JavaScript Object Notation) files within recent preview builds of Windows 11. These files apparently hint at future upgrades for the desktop AI assistant. For example, a “TaskManagerService-ai-plugin.json” was found which is supposedly a “plugin for Task Manager integration”. If this ever comes out, it could give users the ability to “monitor or close running apps using” Copilot. In total, six are currently tested and they affect various aspects of Windows 11. Next, there is an “AccessbilityTools-ai-plugin.json” that gives Copilot a way to “control accessibility [tools]. This would make it "easier for those with [a] disability to navigate through the system.” Third is “ai-plugin-WindowsSettings.json” for controlling important Windows 11 set...

Samsung's ViewFinity S9 may be the monitor creatives have been searching for

Originally revealed during CES 2023 , Samsung has finally launched its ViewFinity S9 5K monitor after nine long months of waiting.  According to the announcement, the ViewFinity S9 is the company’s first-ever 5K resolution (5,120 x 2880 pixels) IPS display aimed primarily at creatives. IPS stands for in-plane switching , a form of LED tech offering some of the best color output and viewing angles on the market. This quality is highlighted by the fact that the 27-inch screen supports 99 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut plus delivers 600 nits of brightness.  Altogether, these deliver great picture quality made vibrant by saturated colors and dark shadows. The cherry on top for the ViewFinity S9 is a Matte Display coating to “drastically [reduce] light reflections.”  As a direct rival to the Apple Studio Display , the monitor is an alternative for creative professionals looking for options. It appears Samsung has done its homework as the ViewFinity S9 addresses some of...
