GTA 6's second trailer remains a huge mystery, but fans are hoping Rockstar might throw them something new this month in the festive spirit with a new theory making a lot of senseTech10:37, 23 Dec 2024Will GTA 6 make 2025 after all?GTA 6's new trailer is still nowhere to be seen more than a year on from the first one and fans are starting to get restless and maybe a little more resourceful.Last week saw the return of the "moon theory" which suggests we've still got to wait a little longer, which is proving particularly difficult after Rockstar Games' parent company Take-Two's CEO described the upcoming game as 'extraordinary'.This time around, it's all based around a number: 27. Is this finally the GTA theory that works and suggests when Trailer 2 will arrive?Content cannot be displayed without consentX (formerly Twitter) account GTA 6 Alert is pretty adamant that the new trailer is arriving on December 27, and they've put together four suggestions as to why.Rockstar Games itself was founded on December 27, 1998, while the company's Instagram account has 27 posts (I know, but bear with me here).At the 27 second mark on Trailer 1, you can see a purple car with the number 27 in its rear window, while a recent link published by the company on X has the number 27 in it.I admit, it's pretty tenuous, but it's an amazing coincidence if these kind of things have just happened to line up.Even the GTA 6 Alert account might be spinning into delirium, however, jokingly pointing to 227 million trailer views on the first reveal. Another user joked that the likelihood of this being correct is 27%, too.A new trademark in Brazil last week added to speculation a fresh trailer is coming, while a longtime Rockstar collaborator acknowledged he's working on something with the company for 2025.Fans are going spare for fresh information about the title, and while some are undoubtedly happy to wait it out, some can't understand why Rockstar won't throw them a bone with a screenshot or two.Article continues belowOne former developer recently explained that the Rockstar team would be "geeking out" watching fan theories unfold, but we're still no sooner to catching another glimpse of a Vice City return.For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletters.RECOMMENDED

Xbox handheld wont necessarily be made by Microsoft claims new rumourAdam StarkeyPublished December 23, 2024 11:25amUpdated December 23, 2024 11:25am Is the future of Xbox outside of Microsoft? (Microsoft)The future of Xbox might be a wider partnership with third party companies, as rumours circulate about Microsofts plans at CES.One of the big questions hanging over the next console generation is Microsofts plans for Xbox, in light of the failure of the Xbox Series X/S.Over this generation, weve seen the company deprioritise the console in favour of pushing its subscription service, Xbox Game Pass, on other devices. This has coincided with Microsofts pivot towards putting Xbox exclusive games on other consoles.While this might suggest Microsoft is aiming beyond the console race, the company has already said it is working on a next gen system which will apparently see the biggest technological leap ever in a generation. Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer has also confirmed development on a handheld device, but this will be a few years out.Its unclear how these systems are connected whether there is a next gen home console or if the portable is the only model but ahead of CES 2025, a rumour has re-emerged to suggest future Xbox consoles might not be made by Microsoft itself.According to a report on Windows Central, Microsoft is exploring options around letting third parties build Xbox-branded devices, which could extend as far as letting them directly use the Xbox operating system.This rumour has circulated before but not necessarily in conjunction with a portable. Its reappeared ahead of an event at CES 2025, on January 7,when Lenovo is holding a future of gaming handhelds event which will feature a couple of onstage special guests.According to an email seen by The Verge, these guests include Steam Deck co-designer Pierre-Loup Griffais and Microsoft vice president of gaming devices and ecosystem Jason Ronald (here billed as as Microsofts VP of next generation).While its unclear exactly what will be announced at the event, Valves presence could be tied to a leaked SteamOS handheld from Lenovo.As for Microsofts involvement, Phil Spencer has previously said the company is looking to make the Xbox app function better on existing portable devices, so this could be related to improvements in running Windows, and by extension PC Game Pass, on devices like Lenovo Legion Go.Of course, theres a chance this could be related to an XboxOS handheld,but this is perhaps slightly premature considering Spencer was only talking about analysing the handheld market a month ago. As a future strategy for Xbox though, it certainly feels like a possibility.Its unclear when Microsoft might be intending to launch its next gen hardware, but dates from 2026 to 2028 have already been rumoured.More TrendingMicrosoft execs purposefully chose to announce their next gen plans though, and heavily hint at a portable, so theyre keen for everyone to know theyre working on new hardware, even if theyve so far not provided any other details.

By Passant Rabie Published December 23, 2024 | Comments (0) | An artist's impression of the Parker Solar Probe approaching the Sun. Illustration: NASA The Sun is getting a surprise visitor for Christmas: NASAs Parker Solar Probe, which is going to get uncomfortably close to the star. The tiny probe is gearing up for its closest approach to the Sun this week, when it will endure temperatures up to 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit (982.2 degrees Celsius). The Parker Solar Probe launched in August 2018 on a mission to touch the Sun, inching closer to the star with each orbit. On December 24, the spacecraft will be within 3.8 million miles (6.1 million kilometers) from the Suns surface, making it the closest solar approach in history. At that distance, the mission has the potential to revolutionize our understanding of the Sun, withstanding the brutal radiation emanating from the star to collect data on the origin and evolution of solar wind. This close encounter has been a long time in the making. In 2021, the probe became the first mission to fly through the Suns corona, or the stars upper atmosphere. Parker Solar Probe travelled dramatically through a coronal mass ejection (CME), an explosive outburst of high energy radiation from the Sun, in the historic flyby. In September 2022, the mission repeated the maneuver and captured data to help scientists understand how the Suns plasma interacts with the interplanetary dust around it. As of this September, the Parker probe has carried out 21 close approaches of the Sun, coming within about 4.51 million miles (7.26 million km) of the solar surface. In November, Parker Solar Probe carried out its seventh and final flyby of Venus, using the planets gravitational pull to fling itself toward a closer orbit around the Sun. The flyby was the final step in a mission designed to swing the probe to its closest approach of our host star.The Parker Solar Probe is already the fastest human-made object in history, but during its closest approach, the spacecraft will zip past the Sun at a record-breaking 430,000 miles per hour, according to NASA. The Parker Solar Probe needs that speed to overcome the gravitational pull of the Sun. At such a pace, the spacecraft can travel from Washington, D.C., to Philadelphia in one second. The spacecraft also needs to survive extreme heat from the Sun. Its heat shield will reach temperatures up to 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit (982.2 degrees Celsius), while keeping the body of the spacecraft at a balmy 85 degrees Fahrenheit (29.4 degrees Celsius). Parker Solar Probes heat shield is 8 feet (2.4 meters) in diameter and 4.5 inches (about 115 mm) thick. The shield is composed of a carbon composite foam sandwiched between two carbon plates, with a coat of white ceramic paint on the Sun-facing plate to reflect as much heat from the star as possible.As it makes its record proximity swoop near the Sun, the spacecraft will trace the flow of energy across the surface of the star, study the heating of the solar corona, and investigate what accelerates the solar wind, according to NASA. With this data, scientists are hoping to get some answers regarding the Suns most persistent mysteries. One of the most befuddling aspects of the Sun is that its corona, or upper atmosphere, is about 200 times hotter than its surface. Other heliophysical quandaries Parker may address are the main driver of solar wind and the source of high-energy solar particles. Data from the probe can also help scientists better predict space weather, which can impact Earth through beautiful aurora and damaging surges to the globes electrical infrastructure.The Christmas Eve flyby is the first of three at the same distance from the Sun, taking full advantage of the spacecrafts daredevil capacities.Daily NewsletterYou May Also Like By Passant Rabie Published December 21, 2024 By Passant Rabie Published December 20, 2024 By Passant Rabie Published December 20, 2024 By AJ Dellinger Published December 19, 2024 By Passant Rabie Published December 18, 2024 By Passant Rabie Published December 18, 2024

The Origin PC Neuron 3500X looks the part of an expensive gaming PC. The designers, in all their wisdom, ships their Origin PCs in huge wooden crates you need to burst open yourself. Snuggled in that crate is a box, and like a vaudeville act, inside that box is another box covered with a foam crown and foam shoes. If youre like me, you rush your PC to your desk as excited as a kid on Christmas. You shouldnt be like me because this is the case where, if you open it the wrong way, you may accidentally send one of the panels tumbling toward the ground. Origin PC Neuron 3500X The Origin PC Neuron 3500X looks primo sitting on your desk, but there are some issues with the 3500X case design. Pros Cons This is the kind of PC that looks far more structurally sound than it is in person. At least it keeps cool and looks cool. The air comes from underneath, and the side flows out to the back and top. Its an effective, well-proven layout that will keep things cool and quiet. The RGB lights offer a glow that fills my little gamers heart with a subtle joy. The aquarium tank case design has caught on for a good reason. Now, you can see your expensive gamer goodies from more angles. Unfortunately, I have issues with the craftsmanship of the Corsair 3500X mid-tower case. It looks good, but you must avoid laying anything heavy on top to prevent your square case from turning into a toaster oven. My config of the Origin Neuron 3500X would cost about $3,387 MSRP, but Origins knocked it down to $2,888 as of the time of this review. At least it comes with free shipping at this price, though youll need to break up the crate for firewood. Its a fair price for what you get, but a part of me knows you can demand better from your desktop towers. If looks were everything, the PC in its aquarium tank case would be picture-perfect. Several details detract from the overall solid production.Origin PC Neuron 3500X Review: Build Quality Photo: Kyle Barr / Gizmodo The three Corsair-brand intake fans are especially pleasing and eye-catching, and the iCUE software installed by default makes it easy to change the fan color and pattern on everything at once. The Vengeance RGB DDR5 RAM sticks and the Capellix XT cooling unit fit the aesthetic. From every angle, it simply looks good. But I have other problems with the Corsair 3500 mid-sized tower. The Y-shaped grating looks clean but also makes the top sheet bend toward the center. You shouldnt be plopping any books or other knickknacks on the PCs main heating vent anyway, but its slight concave shape makes it look less appealing. The top of the box comes with a single USB-C, two USB type-A ports, and a 3.6mm headphone jack. There are two extra USB-C on the MSI Z890-P rear I/O panel if you need to plug in some extra dongles or cables. Photo: Kyle Barr / Gizmodo Photo: Kyle Barr / Gizmodo Photo: Kyle Barr / Gizmodo Photo: Kyle Barr / Gizmodo All the panels are pressure-fitted with ball and socket joints. These managed to hold tight in the short trip from the box to my desk, but as soon as I opened up the main panel to remove that obtrusive packing phone, I accidentally nudged the front panel and nearly sent it tumbling to the floor. Both the main and rear panels sit behind the front glass . Youre better off removing the font panel before removing the sides, even though theres no cutout in the frame that makes that easy. If youre considering this chassis, you may need to be extra careful when diving into your fishbowl for regular maintenance. Unlike some other pre-built desktops you can buy, like the Alienware Aurora R16, theres no special bracket for the GPU. Instead, it relies merely on the rear bracket and the PCIe Express slot to keep it balanced. This is really only an issue when youre moving the PC, but the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super is a large and in-charge card. It will wiggle if you apply some force to the end thats free-floating beyond the motherboard.At least the PC is quiet. The low hum of the fans when idling offers soothing white noise, and even under stress, the tower never picks up enough to be distracting. The inside of the PC offers a spacious interior where you still have two RAM slots and a single PCIe Gen 5 slot to play with if you opt for the larger Nvidia cards. When you open up the rear portion, youll find the cables are neatly organized, that is, until you see the jumble of cables going every which way into the PSU. But if youre buying this PC to have a great-looking PC to bathe you in cooling RGB glow, the Origin 3500X does the job admirably. Origins engineers did a fair job putting it all together, but I find there are too many design details for the Corsair case, which hurt its overall rating.Origin PC Neuron 3500X Review: Performance Photo: Kyle Barr / Gizmodo The config the company sent me included 32GB of DDR5, 6400 MT/s RAM, the RTX 4080 Super, and the most recent top-end Intel Arrow Lake CPU, the Core Ultra 9 285K. That CPI normally hits 3.7 GHz clock speeds, but TurboBoost should overclock that up to 5.7 GHz, at least according to the designers. Until I met the Origin, I had yet to dive into Intels latest desktop-level CPU fully. I still dont understand why the chipmaker would abandon the past generation naming conventions in favor of more Ultra monikers like its most recent laptop chips.Whatever the case, I also heard some murmurings about the chips performance compared to the last gens top-of-the-line desktop chips like the Intel Core i9-14900K. In my own benchmarking, I found the newer Intel chip couldnt keep up as well as the 14900Kthe Maingear MG-1 with the same GPU but Intels 14th-gen gaming CPU. The Ultra 9 scored about 200 points less in Geekbench 6 single-core and more than 1,500 points less in multi-core tests. The Ultra 9 does perform better in Cinebench multi-core rendering tasks by about 65 points. None of my CPU benchmarking did anything to defeat chip aficionados claims that Arrow Lake is better at productivity but worse for gaming. In 3D Mark tests, going head to head with an RTX 4080 Super, Maingears PC scored better in 3D Mark Time Spy and Steel Nomad benchmarks. Its not like you wont get excellent game performance from this Origin PC. I put the machine through its paces in multiple games at different resolutions.InCyberpunk 2077 non-benchmark gameplay at 3440 by 1440 ultrawide resolution, I could hit around 50 FPS at the highest settings, with ray tracing enabled and without DLSS.With Nvidias upscaling, you can get up to around 90 FPS in frenetic scenes. At 4K, Cyberpunk starts to dip into 30 FPS.You really cant expect more from a PC at this price. Baldurs Gate III was buttery smooth, doing 105 FPS outdoors in Act 1 and around 87 FPS in the city of Act III, I played Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 I was seeing around 90 FPS in chaotic scenes. You can expect to max out the most demanding titles. On average, I was doing 70 FPS with DLSS in Horizon Forbidden West and around 90 FPS in God of War: Ragnark. The system benchmarks games well and plays them well, too. The only issue is that its not as clean an experience as you would get with the 14th-gen Intel gaming-centric CPU. The Neuron model has options for up to an AMD Ryzen 9 9950x. To be extra safeyou could wait for next years drop of the expected AMD 9950x3d Origin Neuron 3500X Review: Verdict The Origin Neuron is a solid PC that looks especially good sitting on your bedroom desk, and it can bathe your entire bedroom in RGB glow. Remember to think carefully about your CPU choice if you opt for the PC. Its a beginner-friendly type of desktop, though you cant simply rip it from its wooden house and cardboard bed and get to gaming without some forethought. As sturdy as it looks, it has a few poor design choices that require you to baby it.
