V Tomb good to be true Two Tomb Raider games that were scheduled for a 2022 release on the Nintendo Switch have slipped into 2023. Although we already know a new Tomb Raider title is in the works, series spinoffs Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris and Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, which had been announced to launch on the Nintendo Switch in 2022, now won’t be out until later. As part of an Ask-Me-Anything thread on the Feral Interactive Twitter(opens in new tab) page, the game devs have admitted that the games’ launches have both slipped to 2023. This last-minute delay means you’ll have to cancel plans to play either title over the holidays (on Switch at least; both games are available on other platforms). Final push Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light was first released in 2010 for Xbox, PS3, and PC platforms, as well as iOS devices like the iPod, iPad, and Apple computers. Unlike other Tomb Raider games, you control Lara in an isometric view, treating her more like link in the old 2D Zelda games, than the dungeon invader we first met on the original PlayStation. Another change up in Guardian of Light was that it turned Lara’s adventures into a co-op game, with the option to control either Lara or a 2,000 year old Mayan warrior named Totec. You could also play it as a single-player campaign without him, meaning no pesky AI-controlled Totec getting in the way. Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris is the 2014 sequel, released on the Xbox One, PS4, Stadia, and PC platforms respectively. It possessed similar stylings to its predecessor, again featuring multiplayer elements – this time, for up to four players, each with different weapons and abilities to allow you to choose the character that best fits your desired gameplay. Back in 2021, both games were announced for a Switch release, with the original release intended for 2022. With just a few days left in the year, Feral Interactive announced the delay on Twitter, saying that it “look forward to sharing more in the new year,” but a concrete release date has not yet been given. link: https://www.techradar.com/news/two-tomb-raider-games-just-got-last-minute-delays-into-2023

nCore Games has partnered with the makers of the upcoming Diwali release Ram Setu. The famous Setu, as mentioned in the Hindu epic text Ramayana, bridges the two countries. The game was launched today on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store for mobile. Domestic gaming company nCore Games has partnered with the makers of the upcoming Diwali release Ram Setu to create a new game titled Ram Setu: The Run. The game was launched on October 14 on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store for mobile. In the game players can take on roles of the movie characters – Dr. Aryan Kulshrestha (Akshay Kumar), Sandra (Jacqueline Fernandez), or AP (Satyadev Kancharana). “Ram Setu: The Run, is our attempt at marrying our prowess in game development with a blockbuster IP to bring a polished, entertaining gaming experience that anyone can just pick up and play,” shared Deepak Ail, Co-Founder and CEO of Dot9 Games. “To further underscore our commitment to that, our team has worked hard to ensure it is optimised well enough to be playable even on low-end smartphones as well as tablets. Gaming is for everyone and Ram Setu: The Run is our effort in making that a reality.” Ram Setu releases in theatres on October 25. As seen in the movie’s trailer, it’s the story about one man’s race against time who’s on a mission to preserve India’s heritage – Ram Setu – that was built by Lord Rama and his army while they were preparing to conquer Lanka, Ravana’s kingdom, to bring back Sita. The famous Setu, as mentioned in the Hindu epic text Ramayana, bridges the two countries – modern-day India and Sri Lanka. The trailer of the film shows that some forces are trying to remove the existence of the ‘Ram Setu’ but trust Akshay’s character to destroy the intentions of evil people instead. The film looks like an action-adventure, with a bit of ancient history roped in to make it look more engaging and authentic. There are a few scenes that feature ancient caves, giant sculptures, old temples and of course, the ‘setu’ built by the Vanara-army of Lord Ram under the supervision of Lord Hanuman. https://www.bgr.in/news/akshay-kumar-starrer-ram-setu-gets-its-own-made-in-india-adventure-mobile-game-1333056/

http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--HCx6St2X--/c_scale,fl_progressive,q_80,w_800/tcl43qg7fkzbuhvmypc3.jpg Every fall for the past six years, Ubisoft has released at least one big new Assassin’s Creed game. This year, the mega-publisher could be breaking tradition, skipping fall for the first time since 2009, according to a number of sources speaking both to Kotaku and others. The next big Assassin’s Creed, which we believe is set in ancient Egypt and code-named Empire, won’t launch until 2017, according to both a new online rumor and sources speaking to Kotaku. One person familiar with Ubisoft’s upcoming gaming plans told me this afternoon that the decision to delay Empire from fall 2016 was made after 2014’s disappointing Unity, and that this bump will allow the development team more room to improve and polish the game. The source said this biennial approach could be a new trend for Assassin’s Creed, which has suffered from franchise fatigue in recent years. Rumors about Empire originated this morning on the 4chan boards, of all places, where an anonymous poster claiming to be a developer at Ubisoft wrote that Assassin’s Creed would be skipping this year and that 2017’s big game would be set in Egypt. Although I haven’t been able to confirm the veracity of this 4chan poster—whose posts are compiled on NeoGAF here—everything he wrote matches up with what I’ve heard independently for months. I’d heard last year from three different people familiar with goings-on at Ubisoft that the next big Assassin’s Creed would be set in ancient Egypt. Since this morning, two other independent sources have contacted me to corroborate that. I heard about the code name Empire from two of those sources. Three of them told me the game would indeed launch in 2017. Months ago, one source told me the game would also take place in ancient Rome, although that may have changed; the 4chan poster says some sections had been removed from the game. (“There are talks about making a trilogy of this same character, so they might explore Greece/Rome next,” the poster wrote.) It’s a good time for a change in Ubisoft’s annual schedule. Although last fall’s Assassin’s Creed Syndicate was excellent, it still had some of the technical awkwardness—fidgety controls, easily confused enemy AI—that had become accepted as part of the annual, not-fully-polished Assassin’s Creed norm. It also continued to raise questions of franchise fatigue among even the most hardcore series fans. With staggered development teams working on each release for roughly two-year periods, Ubisoft has released nine major console and PC-based Assassin’s Creed games since the franchise started in 2007. Many have called for the company to take a break from the annual schedule, especially after the fall of 2014. That year, Ubisoft released two major Assassin’s Creed games—the buggy Unity and the surprisingly good Rogue—on the same day. The disappointment of Unity may have even negatively impacted sales of Syndicate, according to Ubisoft executives. With or without a big game, we’ll still see plenty of Assassin’s Creed this year; Ubisoft will release two sidescrollers in January and February as well as the Michael Fassbender movie on December 21, 2016. Ubisoft also recently registered the website domain “assassinscreedcollection.com,” which presumably refers to a compilation of older games. That could make for a nice stopgap this fall.

The myth of the modern “city car” originates from the makers of Swatch watches. They thought there should be a market for stylish, functional, small cars for city dwellers — the same kind of people who bought their watches. This “SwatchMobile” became the Daimler Smart car. It was very po[CENSORED]r, mainly among journalists who found it was something quirky to write about it. As far as sales goes, it turned out to be a product for a very small niche. But the concept of a city car became po[CENSORED]r by marketing drones … eh, gurus and journalists. Defining your public for your product can be smart marketing. The risk is that you forget other potential customers when you concentrate too much on a single group. In the showroom, all potential customers find the car that best fits them and their needs. The problem arises when marketing managers convince designers to make a car optimized for the limited use case of the imagined city dweller. It looks like a sound plan — there are many savings to be found when the car can be less capable. When these glorified golf carts entered the showroom, however, the sales were hard to find. That’s logical, because people will accept a cheaper and less capable car but not a handicapped car that is unfit for all-around use. These models are known as A-segment and B-segment cars. Designations as kei cars, mini cars, super-minis, or by other odd names suggest that these are not fully-fledged cars. And therein lies the problem. Even when customers like small cars, they don’t like crippled cars. The marketing departments target the young buying their first car. In real life, first cars are mostly hand-me-downs or used cars with a lot of experience. The young who do buy these cars buy them as second or third car, a neighborhood shopping cart. The real core po[CENSORED]tions of the customer base are the middle aged and retired people, for whom it is perhaps the only car. The parking lots of retirement homes are full of these small cars. They are used for shopping just around the corner, and for visiting the grandchildren or touring through the country for a day. When the diesel variants were removed from the lineup, they just lost some longer-distance commuters. When the top speed was lowered, the acceleration made more sedate, and the suspension a bit cheaper, the result was a movement by many customers to the C-segment, which has better margins. It was an actual win for the carmakers. … Until the marketing department #*&%! started to think about electric cars. They were also just city cars, they decided. Now they could really design something that was just right for city use. They don’t need range, they don’t need acceleration (electric cars limping away from traffic lights), they don’t need fast charging. They saw a bonanza before their minds eyes. They found a niche smaller than the Smart niche. The number of people willing to buy a crippled car because it is a “city car” is very limited. You find some in the megacities of developing countries. In places where lack of money make something just better than a bicycle a big improvement. In Europe and the USA, not so much. Those customers are used to real cars, and even when they themselves don’t expect to use these features, they insist on all the capabilities a normal car has, if only for the resale value. City cars are a marketing concept, but they don’t exist in the showroom, and should not exist on the carmaker’s drawing boards. Electric city cars are the biggest mistake of the past decade

Egyptian giants Zamalek of Egypt suffered a surprise 2-1 defeat to Ethiopia's Welayta Dicha in the first leg of their African Confederation Cup last-32 fixture. Zamalek have been African champions five times - a record bettered only by their Egyptian neighbours Al Ahly - but they have not lifted an African trophy since winning the 2003 Super Cup. Making only their second appearance in the second-tier Confederation Cup, they were beaten by a side playing in Africa for the first time this season. Ethiopian Bezabeh Meleyo and Egyptian Emad Fathy exchanged first-half goals and Yared Dawit scored the winner 12 minutes from time. Despite the setback, Zamalek look set to emerge overall winners in the African equivalent of the UEFA Europa League. Another Egyptian club, Al Masry, were also in east Africa and drew 2-2 with Simba of Tanzania in a Dar es Salaam thriller. Three of the four goals came from penalties with John Bocco and Ugandan Emmanuel Okwi converting spot-kicks for the hosts and Ahmed Shokry for the visitors. Egypt football legend Hossam Hassan coaches Masry and the Port Said club seem likely to advance. Elsewhere on Wednesday, CARA Brazzaville, who conquered Africa 44 years ago, trounced newcomers Ben Guerdene of Tunisia 3-0 after making a great start by scoring after only three minutes. Cabwey Kivutuka got the Brazzaville outfit on the scoreboard, Christ Ngoma Mbo netted midway through the opening half and Racine Loamba sealed victory 11 minutes from time. Nigeria's Enyimba, who won back-to-back African Champions League titles in 2003 and 2004, look set for a place in the play-offs round during April after a 2-0 win away to Energie of Benin. A fifth-minute own-goal by Lanignan Bolarinwa put the home team on the back foot and they fell further behind soon after when Austin Oladepo struck. On Tuesday, African giants Raja Casablanca of Morocco and Club Africain of Tunisia - clubs expected to go far in the 2018 African Confederation Cup - found themselves in trouble. Three-time African champions Raja missed a penalty and conceded a late goal to only draw 1-1 at home against Nouadhibou of Mauritania. Club Africain fell 3-1 at Renaissance Berkane of Morocco and the result was nearly worse for the visitors who scored two minutes into stoppage time. Morocco trounced Mauritania 4-0 in the 2018 African Nations Championship (CHAN) opener two months ago and a similar score-line was expected in favour of Raja Casablanca. But the hosts could not break down the Nouadhibou defence and when they were awarded a penalty just before half-time, Abderrahim Achchakir had his kick saved. The Moroccan club finally broke the deadlock on 70 minutes when young substitute Mohamed Khaldane finished off a Mahmoud Benhalib cross. A mistake by Ayoub Joulale gifted Samba el Voullany an equaliser eight minutes later and the outsiders will be dreaming of claiming another prized scalp when the clubs meet again. Former African champions Club Africain, who reached the Confederation Cup semi-finals last year, fell three goals behind away to Renaissance Berkane of Morocco with 14 minutes remaining. Mohamed Aziz and Togolese Fo Doh Laba scored in the opening half and Lahcen Khamiss added a third Berkane goal. Veteran Saber Khalifa reduced the arrears two minutes into additional time when he converted a penalty and set up an intriguing return match in Tunis next weekend. On a night of upsets, South Africa's SuperSport United shrugged off disastrous domestic form to force a 0-0 draw at Petro Atletico of Angola, who had hit five in their previous continental home match. Having won just three of their last 20 matches, SuperSport - the 2017 Confederation Cup runners-up - must have feared the worst when they faced Petro. Their dismal run of results triggered the departure of coach Eric Tinkler last week with Zimbabwe-born assistant Kaitano Tembo taking temporary charge. SuperSport held their own despite giving several young fringe players starting places, but were lucky when Tresor de Sousa was foiled by the woodwork to drawn 0-0.

https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/europe-energy-prices-and-future-green-transitions-by-daniel-gros-2021-11 Societies that cannot accept today’s energy prices are unlikely to prepare adequately for the green transition, regardless of their long-term net-zero promises. They are instead likely to act too late and thus too suddenly, which will be not only economically costly, but also politically untenable. BRUSSELS – This month represents an important milestone in the fight against global warming – and not only because of the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) currently underway in Glasgow. Although many countries announced ambitious emissions-reduction targets in the run-up to the gathering, these often extend a generation into the future, to 2050 or even 2060. gros153_PHILIPPE HUGUENAFP via Getty Images_EUoilprice What Europe's Energy Crunch Reveals DANIEL GROS thinks countries’ responses to current price spikes may prefigure the course of their green transitions. 1 Add to Bookmarks Previous Next Meanwhile, governments in Europe and elsewhere face an immediate energy crisis in the form of surging gas and oil prices. And how they react to it will reveal much more than their long-term net-zero pledges do about their ability to manage the concrete challenges of the green transition. The current energy-price spike is a classic case of an accident that was waiting to happen. Years of low prices, combined with regulatory pressure on banks to reduce their exposure to brown industries, have naturally depressed investment in fossil fuels. A faster-than-expected rebound from the COVID-19 recession, plus somewhat colder weather in the Northern hemisphere, were then enough to drive up prices to their highest levels in a decade. Elevated fossil-fuel prices are in principle ideal drivers of a green transition, because they make renewable energy more competitive. But the problem is that consumers had become accustomed to low prices and are now up in arms about the sudden surge. The phenomenon is not new. Many Central and Eastern European countries faced a similar issue when they lost access to cheap energy supplies from the Soviet Union in the early 1990s. Until then, energy prices in the region had been so low that most buildings were not adequately insulated, and heating was not even metered. The switch to market prices caused particularly acute problems for large numbers of retirees living in shoddy apartment buildings, because their pensions were suddenly lower than their heating bills. For most economists, the solution was clear: governments should raise energy prices to market levels, and use some of the increased revenues to pay poorer households a lump sum to cover the higher cost. All the major multilateral and European institutions – including the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the European Commission – supported this approach, and the region’s governments implemented it gradually over time.

SUBSCRIBE NOW Central and Eastern Europe has not yet fully solved the problem – housing remains less energy-efficient than in Western Europe – but most countries in the region have made substantial progress. One interesting lesson from their differing performance is that the quality of a country’s governance strongly influences its rate of energy-efficiency improvement. For example, Estonia, which often tops regional governance rankings, has boosted its energy efficiency faster than some Western Balkan countries, where the quality of governance is much poorer and energy-market distortions remain. In Bulgaria, about 33% of the po[CENSORED]tion report that they feel unable to keep their home adequately warm – a key element in the European Union’s definition of energy poverty. The corresponding share in Estonia is less than 3%, despite the fact that winters there last much longer and the number of heating degree days is over 50% higher than Bulgaria’s. Increasing energy prices gradually while providing income support to the needy seems straightforward but is hard to implement in practice. There will always be groups in society that have other valid claims for income support, and raising prices steadily over time requires careful, limited interventions in the energy market. Dealing with a large increase in energy prices – as many European countries are now doing – is thus always a test not only of government, but also of society as a whole. A key feature of a resilient society is its ability to avoid a build-up of vulnerabilities, including in the energy sector. Spain, where the government is currently panicking in the face of sharply higher household electricity prices, provides a striking example. The government previously encouraged families to take out electricity contracts at spot prices, which seemed like a great bargain when prices were low in recent years. But such arrangements become politically untenable when spot prices suddenly double or triple. Similarly, adjustable-rate mortgages were widely po[CENSORED]r in many countries during the period of low interest rates that preceded the global financial crisis, but these products proved highly damaging when rates spiked in 2008-09. But the Spanish government is now doubling down on its earlier mistake by promising that households will not pay more for electricity than they did in 2018. Spain’s electricity dilemma highlights the cost of prolonged periods of low energy prices. Politically, of course, they are very convenient. But they lead firms and individuals to build business models and livelihoods on cheap energy, thus making any eventual upward price adjustment much more difficult. France’s “yellow vest” movement, often cited as an obstacle to green policies, provides another example. The uprising that began in 2018 consisted mainly of people whose jobs and lifestyle depended on commuting by car – and thus on cheap gasoline. They represented a small proportion of French society (the number of yellow vest activists remained low), but a highly vocal one

According to a study published last month by the International Trademark Association, “Gen Z Insights: Brands and Counterfeit Products,” 72 percent of young Indonesian consumers expect to purchase fewer counterfeit goods in the future. These Gen Z consumers, aged 18 to 23, are notable for their individuality, morality and flexibility. Their willingness to change comes as welcome news—given that the study also indicates that 87 percent of Indonesian Gen Zers have purchased fake goods in the past year. One of the main drivers: it’s easier to find fake goods than authentic goods, they say. At the same time, 96 percent of participants in the study agreed that respect for people’s ideas and creations is important. The study points to an interesting contradiction: young Indonesians respect innovation and creativity, but at the same time violate other people’s intellectual property (IP) by purchasing counterfeit products. With the right mix of policies and education, the ease with which counterfeits are available could be reduced, and young consumers can protect themselves and support innovation in Indonesia. Double down on promotion of innovation Indonesia’s Creative Economy Agency (Bekraf) has been promoting Indonesia’s creative culture and innovation potential since the agency’s establishment in 2015. Bekraf should continue working to promote Indonesian brands, and their creators, and facilitate a future marketplace that is free of counterfeits and safe for consumers. According to Gen Z Insights, young Indonesians say the most reliable sources to learn about counterfeits are brand creators and employees, followed by media and social media influencers. Hearing directly from those affected by illicit trade, and making sure that respect for IP is part of the innovation process should not be overlooked. Agencies like Bekraf or the Intellectual Property Office can play a role in promoting these voices. Make cross-border supply chains safer and more secure Many fake goods come from overseas, including dangerous counterfeit pharmaceuticals, which account for up to perhaps 25 percent of the country’s US$2 billion pharmaceutical markets, according to the Indonesia Anti-Counterfeiting Society. Recent amendments to Indonesia’s customs laws have been helping some brands prevent the importation of counterfeits. For example, recently Indonesia enacted a customs trademark recordal system, whereby brands can file their trademark registration with customs and provide vital information to help officials at the border prevent counterfeit trade. While these provisions have been helpful, requirements that the brands filing their trademark registrations with customs must have local enterprises effectively excludes many smaller overseas brands from playing a part in the cleanup. Free Trade Zones (FTZs), while certainly helpful to reduce red tape and speed up business, contribute significantly to the manufacture and trade of fakes in Indonesia. Sometimes fake components are imported—for example, from Singapore to the island of Batam, in Indonesia—processed in Indonesia, then either shipped back overseas and into the global supply chain, or leaked into the Indonesian market. Tighter provisions to prevent transshipment of counterfeits and better oversight to prevent IP violations within FTZs is needed. Prevent the sale of counterfeits—especially online Finally, young Indonesians are well-known for being internet savvy and are the country’s largest online consumers. But unlike in physical markets, spotting a fake online can be more challenging, as clever counterfeiters trick consumers through the use of easily copied photos of authentic goods and clever use of domain names that give the impression of being authorized sellers of a brand. The police should prioritize and coordinate with government task forces dedicated to cybercrime to build awareness within the government about the importance of tracking online IP crimes, such as the sale of fake goods. After taking down these websites and online stores, the police should secure arrests for any criminal violations and prosecutors should take the cases to the court. Bringing these cases into the public eye can help reduce the demand for counterfeits, suggests the Gen Z Insights study. In Indonesia, those who do buy counterfeits say they would change their behavior if a fake product is dangerous or bad for their health (75 percent), if money spent on the products supports organized crime (75 percent) and if purchasing fake products means they have to pay a fine (75 percent). The future is authentic Indonesia’s multicultural society, spanning the world’s largest archipelago, is bursting with creativity born from a tradition of indigenous cultural expression, trade and exploration. Gen Zers recognize the value of appropriate purchasing choices: supporting creators, innovators and protecting themselves and loved ones from dangerous counterfeits. Now, it’s a matter of acting on this. With the right support, they can fulfill this vision—and make Indonesia’s marketplace an authentic one

The whales, which were nearly hunted to extinction, have returned in huge numbers to their ancestral feeding grounds off the coast of Antarctica, according to research published Thursday. In the journal Scientific Reports, researchers for the first time shared details of massive feeding frenzies among fin whales near Elephant Island. More than once, they observed about 150 whales — lunging and diving with mouths wide open — gulping down krill. The scientists also completed abundance estimates, finding a higher concentration of fin whales there than in other regions known for sightings, including off the coast of California. Previous research suggests only 1% to 2% of fin whales survived commercial whaling, which took off in the Southern Hemisphere in the early 20th century and continued until restrictions in the 1970s. Documentation of feeding frenzies in densely-po[CENSORED]ted waters where whales gathered generations ago and before they were hunted at industrial scale suggests that the species has rediscovered an important habitat and that the po[CENSORED]tion is recovering. The species’ strong return to the feeding grounds rich with krill is “raising hope that fin whales are on their way to pre-exploitation numbers,” the researchers wrote in the Scientific Reports paper. Video footage of the fin whale “aggregation,” as the researchers call it, first caught public attention in a 2019 BBC documentary series called “Seven Worlds, One Planet” that was narrated by David Attenborough, the famous British naturalist and broadcaster. The researchers on the Scientific Reports paper, who collaborated with the documentarians, added new data and further analysis of the whales. “I’d never seen so many whales in one place before and was absolutely fascinated watching these massive groups feed,” Bettina Meyer, a co-author of the study who is a biologist and professor at the Alfred Wegener Institute, said in a news release. Fin whales feeding at the northern coast of Elephant Island, Antarctica, in April 2018, filmed from the RV Polarstern.Sacha Viquerat Fin whales, once considered endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, were upgraded to "vulnerable" in 2018. The International Whaling Commission is in charge of setting global catch limits for commercial whaling. The quota for fin whales was dropped to zero in 1976, the study says. In 1982, the commission decided to pause all commercial whaling. Iceland, Norway and Japan are among the nations that have hunted whales commercially since. Scientists and other observers began to notice an increase in fin whale sightings in the waters between South America and Antarctica beginning in the early 2000s, and have long suspected that the area near Elephant Island was becoming a hot spot for fin whales. In the Scientific Reports study, the researchers quantified fin whales’ presence by using a helicopter aboard an icebreaker ship. Flying allowed researchers to survey and collect data about the whales from above and determine the creatures’ density. Fin whale researchers Helena Herr, left, and Sacha Viquerat pose on the RV Polarstern after returning from a helicopter survey flight.Bertie Gregory Many whale species pass habits or information about feeding sites through generations. Research suggests whales pass this information through mothers. The location of the Antarctic feeding sites might have been lost to generations of fin whales until now because their po[CENSORED]tions were so decimated and disconnected by whaling, the study suggests. “… This could be a good sign that, nearly 50 years after the ban on commercial whaling, the fin whale po[CENSORED]tion in the Antarctic is rebounding,” Meyer said. The study says the whales’ presence could have environmental benefits because they recycle nutrients in their waste that benefit the growth of phytoplankton, which forms the foundation of the food web in the waters off Antarctica
