At its San Francisco event, Microsoft announced that the technical preview of Windows 10 will touch down tomorrow.
The company’s new operating system is a long-awaited replacement for its beleaguered Windows 8.x platform. That version of Windows saw limited business adoption, and consumer fatigue.
On stage, Microsoft executive Terry Myerson stated that Windows has 1.5 billion users. Myerson indicated that Windows is at a “threshold,’ ironically. For more on the new operating system, head here.
The ‘Insider Program” is designed to let people get the new code, but with the expectation that they new stuff will be a bit off, here and there. New code is new code, after all. Myerson indicated that the new code is an attempt to “share more than ever before.” The goal, he said, is to build something for every Microsoft customer.
Windows 10 is the name for the “product family,” according to the company.
The full operating system will be available after Build in 2015, or, put another way, mid of next year.
Watch Windows VP Joe Belfiore talk about some of the features in Windows 10, like the new Start menu, multiple desktops, and improved multi-tasking. Learn how you can be part of creating the best Windows yet with the Tech Preview and the Windows Insider Program.
BioWare offered an extensive look at Dragon Age: Inquisition during a live stream via Twitch on Monday, and below is almost 20 minutes of gameplay footage from the stream.
During the presentation developers showed off a new section of the game and offered a deep look at the character creation mechanics, also in a 28-minute video below.
In late July, EA delayed the Dragon Age: Inquisition release date by more than a month. The third entry in the RPG series is now scheduled to launch on PC, Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360 and PS3 on November 18 in North America and November 21 in Europe.

Gameplay:
With their affinity for hunting, sneaking, and hidden blade-like retractable claw, cats are really the assassins of the animal world. They're not as intimidating when they're kittens dressed up as assassins from the upcoming Assassin's Creed Unity, but what they lack in deadliness they more than make up for in cuteness.

YouTube user Mr.TVCow posted the video above, in which four hooded kittens hunt down a french soldier, much like like in a number of trailers for Assassin's Creed Unity. They use their eagle vision ability, parkour after their target, and perform lethal aerial assassinations, and yes, it's as unbearably adorable as it sounds.
Assassin's Creed Unity launches November 11 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. Another game,Assassin's Creed Rogue, is also launching on that day, but it's coming only to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.


We already know that Far Cry 4 features a villain roughly as mad as Vaas from the previous game, but we get to see him make another of his little speeches in this brisk new trailer for Ubisoft's open-world elephant-'em-up. Also pictured: hovercraft, quad bikes, and a bit where a freefalling Ajay Ghale lobs a grenade into a plane and then the plane blows up. Such dexterous killing. Pagan Min won't like that.
The following video is accompanied by a guffy press release detailing the origin of Pagan Min, but all you really need to know is that he has great taste in suits, he wants hero Ajay Ghale to join him in his quest to be a total dictator, and he's all about killing people who get in his way. Interspersed with his mad-villaining are a few new bits of footage, showing off Far Cry 4's assortment of land and sea and air vehicles, which do look quite fun. As in the last game, it's awfully nice of the rebels and government to wear colour-coded uniforms so you know which ones to shoot, or to run into with your quad bike or elephant.
November 18th is the date to remember if you're considering purchasing Far Cry 4.

The running and the jumping and the shooting of the dudes looks fairly conventional, exoskeletonized or not, but the trailer also reveals Advanced Warfare's new "Exo Survival" mode, a four-player co-op stand against onrushing hordes of enemies. And in case you'd forgotten, there's a reminder of the "Day Zero Edition," a preorder upgrade offering 24 hours of early access, double experience points during the early access period, two new weapons—the AK-12G assault rifle and the Crossbow-82—and the Advanced Arsenal package, which includes the Bullet Brass exoskeleton and EM1 Quantum directed energy weapon.
Those who preorder and get the Day Zero Edition can get in on the action on November 3; for everyone else, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare launches on November 4.
Ubisoft has detailed Assassin's Creed Unity's Season Pass, revealing DLC taking place after the campaign in France, as well as a completely new standalone story in China.

The Assassin's Creed Unity Season Pass will be available on PS4, Xbox One and PC, with all of the listed DLC allegedly arriving by early 2015.
In terms of what's included, while new missions, characters and weapons will be added to the story of Assassin's Creed Unity and the goings-on in Paris, it's the other two additions that really sound intriguing. The first, called Dead Kings, takes place after the events of the main game and follows Arno as he leaves Paris for Saint Denis, a troubled city with a mysterious and extensive underground that holds the crypts of deceased French kings. Expect self-contained missions along with new open-world activities like treasure hunts, murder mysteries and contracts. New gear and weapons can be carried over into the main game.

Then there's Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China, which is a brand new downloadable game for Season Pass holders. Apparently spawned from a single sketch of 16th century China, this soon became something bigger. You play as Shao Jun, and traverse a 2.5D world inspired by traditional brush paintings. Though we don't have much more than the trailer below, it already looks unlike anything we've ever seen before in the franchise.

Publisher Square Enix released a brand new Final Fantasy XV trailer on Thursday, offering new insights and ideas on how the game will play.
The two-and-a-half minute video opens with a quartet of heroes grouped together in a convertible, riding through wide stretches of land populated with mystical creatures. The journey these four heroes embark on appears to be at the heart of the story.
