Borderlands 4 is built on Unreal Engine 5, which has faced criticism for performance problems. The game uses the engine’s most demanding settings, leading to similar issues. Hardware Unboxed has tested all the game’s settings and found ways to improve performance. The biggest improvement comes from lowering the lighting settings, which reduces the strain from Unreal Engine 5’s ray tracing. Their tests show that the difference between the ‘Very High’ and ‘Medium’ settings is often barely noticeable, especially given the game’s art style, while performance can jump by over 25% compared to the highest settings.

IGN reports that the modern-day portions of the upcoming Black Flag remake-where players leave the Animus simulation to explore the Abstergo Entertainment offices and understand the story behind Edward Kenway-have been removed. The remake is currently expected to release around 2026.

Okay, so I just heard about this new movie, *F1: The Movie*, directed by the guy who did *Top Gun: Maverick*, and it looks pretty cool. It’s about this driver, Sonny Hayes – Brad Pitt plays him – who was a big deal in Formula 1 back in the ’90s, but he had a bad crash and basically walked away. He’s been drifting around racing ever since. Now, his old teammate, Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), wants him to join his F1 team, and it sounds like Sonny’s taking the chance to prove he still has what it takes to compete at the top level. I’m definitely checking this one out!

The ideal Memory in Shape of Dreams depends on your character’s stats and what you need – whether you prioritize damage (DPS), defense, or speed and versatility. Here’s a breakdown of the best options for each role, categorized by how effective they are. S and A-Tier Memories are generally the strongest choices. B-Tier Memories can be very powerful in specific situations, like Hysteria, which provides significant healing and damage when paired with the Glacial Core essence.

Gen V is a live-action series connected to The Boys universe – if you enjoyed the animated spinoff, Diabolical, it’s worth watching! The show primarily follows students at Godolkin University, a college for superheroes owned by Vought, though you’ll also see some characters you recognize from The Boys, like Homelander and Starlight.

Following the success of *Slow Horses*, the new series premiered just a year after its first season, likely because it’s adapted from the popular 2021 French-Belgian show *HPI*, which allowed for a faster production process.
