Liverpool Source:&nbsp Shutterstock Haworth Tompkins has been appointed to help plan the decade-long regeneration of St George’s Gateway, a 35ha site in central Liverpool Liverpool City Council has appointed a project team led by LDA Design to draw up a ‘transformational new masterplan’ for the cultural quarter, which encompasses an area from Lime Street Station to William Brown Street.  Other companies appointed to the team include multi-disciplinary giant WSP, development consultancy Pegasus, engineering consultant Hatch, community engagement expert PLACED and regeneration specialist Aspinall Verdi.  The council, which is partnering with Liverpool John Moores University and the National Museums Liverpool, says St George’s Gateway is ‘one of Liverpool’s most significant regeneration opportunities’, due to the recent demolition of the 1960s Churchill Way Flyovers. Advertisement The site includes some of the city’s most famous buildings, including the Grade I-listed St George’s Hall, the Grade II*-listed World Museum Liverpool and Walker Art Gallery, and the Grade II-listed Liverpool Empire Theatre. The masterplan will set out detailed public ream and landscape interventions, with a strategy to connect the area with the city centre; and propose transport improvements with an emphasis on net zero and active and active travel.  It will also promote green space with enhanced biodiversity, climate mitigation and capture of surface water run-off; propose interventions to unlock and maximise the value of development sites; and set design codes for the area.  Once approved by the council, the framework will be adopted as a Supplementary Planning Document to guide decision making and create investor certainty – just like the framework being drawn up by Levitt Bernstein and Turner Works for the nearby 30ha Pumpfields area.  Councillor Nick Small, Liverpool City Council’s cabinet member for growth and development, said: ‘This project represents a unique opportunity to reshape this key gateway site and help the city to attract investors in creating a truly world-class experience to match the area’s unrivalled architecture and history.’ Advertisement 2025-05-22 Will Ing comment and share

Lies of P to receive difficulty options in free update alongside Overture DLC Strings attached. Image credit: Neowiz News by Ed Nightingale Deputy News Editor Published on May 22, 2025 Lies of P will receive difficulty options in a free update due alongside its forthcoming DLC, Overture. As a Soulslike game, Lies of P is certainly challenging. But the new difficulty options will ensure both the base game and the DLC are more approachable for newcomers. "We wanted to make sure a wider audience of players could play the game," said game director Jiwon Choi (thanks VGC), adding the team had had "a lot of feedback" from players and the game's developers. Lies of P: Overture - Story TrailerWatch on YouTube "So by making development adjustments and introducing these difficulty options, we can offer the experience to different types of players. This broadens the base." The default difficulty for Lies of P will be named "Legendary Stalker", while two easier modes will be added named "Butterfly's Guidance" and "Awakened Puppet". If you're after even more challenge, though, the game is also receiving a Battle Memories mode where players can replay bosses through five tiers of difficulty, including ultra hard modes. What's more, a Death March boss rush mode will challenge players to take down as many bosses as possible with a limited pool of health and items. Both of these modes will have bespoke rewards yet to be confirmed. Lies of P: Overture is a prequel to the base game that was initially teased in 2023 following the game's release, along with confirmation a sequel is in development. It was then officially revealed earlier this year. As a prequel, the DLC will follow the protagonist puppet during the final days of the city of Krat. It will feature new weapons such as slashing claws, a gunblade, and a ranged bow. Lies of P: Overture will be released at some point this summer. Earlier this year, Eurogamer spoke with Choi about FromSoftware's forthcoming Elden Ring: Nightreign, though the Lies of P team is focused solely on creating a single-player game. "I've tried [Nightreign] and it was very refreshing and new," he said. "So that obviously gave me the impression that they're good developers, they always push their boundaries, their imagination and vision, and it shows. In turn, that for some reason motivated me to deliver the Overture experience as good as it could be." Elden Ring and Dark Souls creator Hidetaka Miyazaki has frequently discussed the high difficulty level of his games. Ahead of Elden Ring's release he stated it would be more approachable than previous games, and then last year said turning down the challenge would "break the game itself". Souls fans have long debated whether difficulty options should be included, but it's great to see other studios implementing what FromSoftware hasn't so far.

Subscribe to Nintendo Life on YouTube813kUpdate [Thu 22nd May 2025, 3:55am]: Following some teaser posts on social media earlier this week, Sega has now officially unveiled its Sonic Racing Around the World brand campaign - an entire year dedicated to Sonic's trademark characteristics of "speed and attitude". This campaign will support the upcoming release Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds and unite the "Sonic community" by encouraging their full potential to go above and beyond. It follows on from the previous year's campaign "Fearless: Year of Shadow".Subscribe to Nintendo Life on YouTube813kWatch on YouTube To get this new campaign underway, Sega has teamed up with Red Bull as well as the rally and stunt driver Brandon Semenuk to create a new trailer. This same video apparently features Easter eggs from Sonic: CrossWorlds. “The Racing Around the World fan celebration embodies everything fans love about Sonic from his superfast speed, bold attitude, and ability to inspire fans to push their limits. Our partnership with Red Bull delivers a thrilling stunt racing film that brings key elements from the Sonic universe to life for fans worldwide. We hope it brings fans together and allows them to experience the excitement of the Sonic Racing universe like never before.” According to Sega, fans can also expect new racing-inspired brand partnerships, upcoming mobile game events, merchandise and "much more". There's also an official webpage you can take a look at to find out more. Image: SEGAOriginal Story: [Wed 21st May, 2025 00:30 BST]: Sonic the Hedgehog is known for all sorts of partnerships and ahead of the arrival of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, Sega might be teasing some sort of collaboration with the energy drink company Red Bull. Sonic's official social media account posted a rally car featuring a Sonic the Hedgehog graphic and in a separate post there's a close-up of Red Bull's logo, with Red Bull Gaming even acknowledging it with the eye emoji: Sonic fans (as well as racing and rally fans) have responded with all sorts of thoughts, theories and even some jokes about what announcement could be taking place next: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds was originally announced at The Game Awards last year, with Sega mentioning at the time how it was coming soon to multiple platforms including the Nintendo Switch. This latest collab would follow on from a team up with the DC Universe. Since then, there have been closed network tests, but there's no word on when exactly this game will be released. It's certainly a busy year for racing fans with titles like Mario Kart World, Fast Fusion and Kirby Air Riders 2 all scheduled for 2025. Take a drive down memory lane This super collab starts next month If there are any developments, we'll update this post.

Signal said today that it is updating its Windows app to prevent the system from capturing screenshots, thereby protecting the content that is on display. The company said that this new “screen security” setting is enabled by default on Windows 11. Signal said that this new feature is designed to protect users’ privacy from Microsoft’s Recall feature, which was announced last year. Recall captures screenshots of the system continuously to remember all of your activities, so you can scroll back in time to remember what you were looking at. While the company paused the rollout of the feature last year after backlash, Microsoft started testing it again in April through the Windows Preview Channel. Microsoft has made the feature opt-in and has also added a way to pause it anytime. Signal said that despite these changes, the feature still captures content that may be sensitive. Signal said that when you are trying to take a screenshot with the new screen security setting enabled, you will just get a blank screen. The company also warned that when the setting is enabled, some functions, such as screen readers, might not work as intended. You can turn off the setting through Signal Settings > Privacy > Screen security. The app will show you a warning when you are trying to disable this option, and you will have to click on Confirm to complete the action. This is to prevent you from accidentally turning the feature off while trying to adjust other settings. “We hope that the AI teams building systems like Recall will think through these implications more carefully in the future. Apps like Signal shouldn’t have to implement a “one weird trick” in order to maintain the privacy and integrity of their services without proper developer tools,” Signal said in a blog post.
