Nioh 3 Cometh Nioh 3 officially revealed - and it's not a PlayStation exclusive, even if there's a demo you can only play on PS5 Out of nowhere, Team Ninja took the Sony State of Play showcase by storm to deliver more than just the reveal of Nioh 3. Image credit: Team Ninja, Koei Tecmo. News by Sherif Saed Contributing Editor Published on June 5, 2025 As part of the PlayStation State of Play, we got treated to the surprise reveal of the next game in the Nioh action RPG series. It’s simply titled Nioh 3, and it’s going to be changing so much of what we know about Nioh. Nioh 2 is set for release in early 2026. To see this content please enable targeting cookies. First, the game is not a timed PlayStation-exclusive, which is great to see. It will be available on PC and PS5 simultaneously when it arrives next year. The even more surprising news is that there’s a demo available right now, though sadly only on PS5. This is the alpha demo, which implies there’s going to be at least one more demo - beta - prior to launch, if Team Ninja’s history with Nioh is anything to go by. The demo is available only until Wednesday, June 18 Nioh 3 takes place in Japan’s Sengoku period, and stars a new protagonist; a young warriorset to be the next Shogun. Obviously Yokai are in the mix here right alongside human enemies. Nioh 3 is described as an “open field” game, which is a major change for the series. It’s interesting that Team Ninja didn’t call it outright open world, though perhaps the negative criticisms Rise of the Ronin drew for its open-world structure may have had a hand in that. Regardless, gameplay areas look to be more open than past Nioh games, even if the trailer doesn’t show much of that. Watch on YouTube Perhaps the most interesting detail was made in this PlayStation Blog post, where Nioh 3 general producer Fumihiko Yasuda revealed that combat has two main styles: Samurai, and Ninja. Both styles can be switched between on the fly. The Samurai style is described as the most similar to other Nioh games, though stances weren’t mentioned in the breakdown. The Samurai style also comes with new additions, so it’s not entirely similar.The post mentions Arts Proficiency, which boosts the power of martial arts - an area that’s typically been neglected in Nioh games. There’s also Deflect, which is effectively a parry system. Then there’s the Ninja style, which has faster movements, and unlocks a host of aerial actions. This is where the Ninjitsu techniques now sit, and some of the abilities discussed include leaving behind a clone after attacking. Nioh 3 looks to be a big step forward for the series, so we’ll have to wait until we get our hands on it to find out whether Team Ninja has been successful at evolving its formula this time around. #nioh #officially #revealed #it039s #not

Don't think twice, it's all right.It's time to say goodbye.Well, not really. The massively popular Switch will live on in a way few other Nintendo consoles have done thanks to backwards compatibility, a host of free upgrades to existing games, and a Switch 2 form factor that keeps everything about the previous console. As generational jumps go, it doesn't get much smoother than this.Read the full article on nintendolife.com #feature #farewell #nintendo #switch #it039s

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says, perhaps obviously, that Trump's new 25% tariff on Apple shouldn't make the company move manufacturing to the US, because it's still far cheaper to import.A lack of robots are not the the only thing preventing iPhone manufacture in the USTrump announced his 25% tariff on Apple's iPhones — for once specifically naming a US business instead of nonsensically claiming foreign countries would pay — on Friday, May 23, 2025. It immediately sent Apple's share price tumbling, yet again, but analyst Ming-Chi Kuo agrees with AppleInsider and common sense interpretation of the tariffs about the long-term impact.In terms of profitability, it's way better for Apple to take the hit of a 25% tariff on iPhones sold in the US market than to move iPhone assembly lines back to US. pic.twitter.com/VPRRpj0caU—May 23, 2025 Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums #it039s #still #cheaper #import #iphones

You wouldn't use a chatbot for evil, would you? Of course not. But if you or some nefarious party wanted to force an AI model to start churning out a bunch of bad stuff it's not supposed to, it'd be surprisingly easy to do so.That's according to a new paper from a team of computer scientists at Ben-Gurion University, who found that the AI industry's leading chatbots are still extremely vulnerable to jailbreaking, or being tricked into giving harmful responses they're designed not to — like telling you how to build chemical weapons, for one ominous example.The key word in that is "still," because this a threat the AI industry has long known about. And yet, shockingly, the researchers found in their testing that a jailbreak technique discovered over seven months ago still works on many of these leading LLMs.The risk is "immediate, tangible, and deeply concerning," they wrote in the report, which was  and is deepened by the rising number of "dark LLMs," they say, that are explicitly marketed as having little to no ethical guardrails to begin with."What was once restricted to state actors or organized crime groups may soon be in the hands of anyone with a laptop or even a mobile phone," the authors warn.The challenge of aligning AI models, or adhering them to human values, continues to loom over the industry. Even the most well-trained LLMs can behave chaotically, lying and making up facts and generally saying what they're not supposed to. And the longer these models are out in the wild, the more they're exposed to attacks that try to incite this bad behavior.Security researchers, for example, recently discovered a universal jailbreak technique that could bypass the safety guardrails of all the major LLMs, including OpenAI's GPT 4o, Google's Gemini 2.5, Microsoft's Copilot, and Anthropic Claude 3.7. By using tricks like roleplaying as a fictional character, typing in leetspeak, and formatting prompts to mimic a "policy file" that AI developers give their AI models, the red teamers goaded the chatbots into freely giving detailed tips on incredibly dangerous activities, including how to enrich uranium and create anthrax.Other research found that you could get an AI to ignore its guardrails simply by throwing in typos, random numbers, and capitalized letters into a prompt.One big problem the report identifies is just how much of this risky knowledge is embedded in the LLM's vast trove of training data, suggesting that the AI industry isn't being diligent enough about what it uses to feed their creations."It was shocking to see what this system of knowledge consists of," lead author Michael Fire, a researcher at Ben-Gurion University, told the Guardian."What sets this threat apart from previous technological risks is its unprecedented combination of accessibility, scalability and adaptability," added his fellow author Lior Rokach.Fire and Rokach say they contacted the developers of the implicated leading LLMs to warn them about the universal jailbreak. Their responses, however, were "underwhelming." Some didn't respond at all, the researchers reported, and others claimed that the jailbreaks fell outside the scope of their bug bounty programs. In other words, the AI industry is seemingly throwing its hands up in the air."Organizations must treat LLMs like any other critical software component — one that requires rigorous security testing, continuous red teaming and contextual threat modelling," Peter Garraghan, an AI security expert at Lancaster University, told the Guardian. "Real security demands not just responsible disclosure, but responsible design and deployment practices."Share This Article #it039s #still #ludicrously #easy #jailbreak
