The Forza Motorsport 4 trailer that Microsoft and Turn 10 Studios debuted at E3 last month is car porn, pure and simple. It streamed online during the MS press conference, but today it is finally available online as a full-fledged trailer as opposed to something recorded off of a television screen. Little time is spent touting features or even gameplay, with the minute-and-a-half video instead cycling through a series of close-ups of car parts, both internal and external, while Kanye West’s “Power” fittingly plays over it. The trailer was hard to avoid at E3, to the point that ‘Ye probably owes Microsoft of thank you note for helping to sell so many copies of his latest album.

The big features touted during the latter half of the trailer all have to do with Kinect and community elements, which isn’t too surprising. You even get a few seconds to see the Kinect headtracking in action before we cut back to more car porn. Priorities… always important to keep sight of those priorities.

Enjoy the onslaught of car parts, little more than a month after the fact…

In a company interview with CEO Yves Guillemot posted on the Ubisoft website Thursday, the executive reveals that there are remakes of Assassin's Creed games in the works, although he doesn't specify which ones.

"Players can be excited about some remakes, which will allow us to revisit some of the games we've created in the past and modernize them," he says, implying that it could pertain to games made before Odyssey. "There are worlds in some of our older Assassin's Creed games that are still extremely rich."

Surfaced patent shows what an Xbox streaming console would’ve looked like

An Xbox Series X sits next to both Series S models.

There have been a few Xbox devices that have never come to fruition, one of which was Keystone, a prototype for an affordable game streaming device you could hook up to your TV or monitor. Thanks to a surfaced patent, we've gotten an even closer look at what it would've potentially looked like.

The patent, first spotted by Windows Central, gives us a more complete view of the device. We've previously seen the Keystone in the flesh. Microsoft Gaming head Phil Spencer is known for hiding teases and interesting collectibles on the shelf in his office. In a 2022 X (formerly Twitter) post congratulating Bethesda on Fallout's 25th anniversary, you can see a small white device on the top shelf that's actually a Keystone prototype. Xbox told Digital Trends that it was a version of the device made before it decided to "refocus our efforts on a new approach.”
