Title: Xbox Game Showcase: What games could we see?
Content:
Many of us may be tuning into the Xbox Game Showcase to hear about the rumored handheld hardware, but let's not forget the games either. Microsoft could give us more details about Gears of War: Reloaded and possibly some news — maybe a release date — for Forza Horizon 6.
Personally, I want to hear about any DLC for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle which, for my money, has been the best original Xbox game in a good long while.

Title: Welcome!

Welcome to our Summer Game Fest 2025 live blog! What are we expecting from this year's event? In short, a lot.
Sony has already pulled the trigger with its State of Play 2025 livestream earlier this week revealing the likes of 007 First Light, Silent Hill f and Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles.
On the PC front we may see updates on titles like The Witcher 4 and maybe even a snifter of Resident Evil 9 (unlikely) from Capcom.
We could also get some details on the rumored Xbox handheld collaboration between Asus and Microsoft. It's unlikely to take the wind out of Nintendo's sails, as there will surely be a heap of Switch 2 announcements from game studios too.

Chief AI Scientist At Mark Zuckerberg's Meta Says 'No Way' Scaling ChatGPT-Like Models Is Going To Lead To Human-Level AI
Meta Platforms, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:META) chief AI scientist, Yann LeCun, says the tech industry won't close the gap to human-level intelligence by scaling today's large language models and piling on more parameters. What Happened: "We are not going to get to human-level AI by just scaling up LLMs. This is just not going to happen. There's no way — absolutely no way," LeCun told host Alex Kantrowitz on the Big Technology podcast in March. He dismissed bullish two-year timelines from "more adventurous colleagues" as "complete BS." Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — In a clip of the podcast which was resurfaced on YouTube last week, LeCun likened current chatbots to "a system with a gigantic memory and retrieval ability, not a system that can invent solutions to new problems," adding that even if the models can answer most routine questions, "it's not a Ph.D. you have next to you." Instead of reasoning, he said, today's systems "pattern-match" the next word. LeCun contends the best path forward is collaborative. According to a report by Business Insider, at the AI Action Summit in Paris, which took place in February, he urged governments to contribute anonymized data to a larger open-source It Matters: LeCun has long doubted that OpenAI will win the race to artificial general intelligence (AGI), a stance he first voiced in December 2023. Last week, he pointed Elon Musk toward a new FAIR study on "Contextual Positional Encoding," telling the xAI founder it could boost Grok and then amplified the paper by sharing Meta researcher Jason Weston's explanatory thread on X. The exchange unfolded amid LeCun's running feud with Musk. After Musk posted xAI job openings on Monday, LeCun quipped that applicants should expect a boss who insists their project "will be solved next year." He later applauded Musk's engineering triumphs in cars, rockets, and satellites while slamming the billionaire's politics, conspiracy theories, and habitual hype.

Resident Evil 9 Coming To Summer Games Fest, Insider Claims
An insider claim suggests that Resident Evil 9 is likely to be announced at Summer Games Fest 2025, which is scheduled to take place later this week. With Summer Game Fest 2025 on the horizon, a new claim is offering hope to Resident Evil fans who have been eagerly awaiting news of the next entry. A reliable insider known for sharing Resident Evil information, Dusk Golem, has stated that Resident Evil 9 will be revealed at this year's Summer Game Fest. While publisher Capcom has not confirmed or teased anything officially, speculation around a possible sequel announcement continues to grow. As reported by Insider Gaming, Dusk Golem tweeted they are '95 per cent positive' that Resident Evil 9 will be unveiled at the event. The insider clarified they have not spoken to anyone directly involved in the game's development and have not received confirmation of the announcement. They emphasized that while no source has definitively confirmed the reveal, there is 'a lot of buzz in the grapevine' and 'a lot of rumblings' behind the scenes. So far, Dusk Golem's claims appear to be based on instinct and deductive reasoning rather than concrete evidence. The insider points to increased activity on Capcom's social media accounts as a potential sign of an upcoming announcement. In previous tweets, Dusk Golem also suggested that Resident Evil 9 will be an open-world title and has discussed possible reveal and release windows. According to DuskGolem's previous tweet, Resident Evil 9 will 'almost undoubtedly be revealed this year' and will be released in 2026. However, they were unsure whether the game would be revealed in fiscal year 2025 or 2026. At the same time, they felt there would be no more delays as the game had already been delayed twice. Resident Evil 4 Remake was the last release in the franchise, released in 2023. Resident Evil 8, or its proper title, Resident Evil Village, was the last sequel title in the series—released in 2021. Based on release dates, I could support Dusk Golem's claims too. There has been enough gap years for Capcom to tease their next zombie virus-fighting installment. It is possible to see a small teaser at Summer Games Fest 2025, with a release window in 2026 or 2027. Like most rumours, this information should be taken with a grain of salt, and the Summer Games Fest on June 6th will reveal whether Capcom will reveal Resident Evil 9.
