Capcom has locked in a 16 October release date for three Resident Evil games on Nintendo Switch 2: 16 October: Resident Evil 2 Deluxe Edition, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 4 Gold Edition, all as digital releases. The part Nintendo players will care about most is simple: these are native ports, not cloud versions like Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 were on the original Switch. It also marks the first time the modern Resident Evil 4 remake will be playable on Nintendo hardware.
These aren’t bare-bones releases, either. Resident Evil 2 Deluxe Edition comes with previously released DLC, and Resident Evil 4 Gold EditionAda Wong’s Separate Ways. Capcom says physical editions are currently slated for 29 January 2027. If you’ve been holding off in the hope of playing these remakes locally on a Nintendo console, this is the update you’ve been waiting for, especially since Capcom’s remake run keeps delivering: Resident Evil 4 remake has reportedly 16.8 million copies and around $560 million, and the RE Engine looks like a strong fit for Nintendo Switch 2’s push to bring in more third-party games.
All three will be available to download from the Nintendo Switch 2 eShop on 16 October.
Godzilla was born in 1954 out of the fear that still lingered in Japan around all things nuclear after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Of course, it was a resounding success. So much so that the United States more or less forgot it was really their fault and full-blown blockbusters were made with the monster as the star. In the end, with the Monsterverse running at full tilt, it fell to Japan to remind us of what the character is really about in Godzilla Minus One and the new Godzilla Minus Zero.
Its new trailer is absolutely incredible, exactly what we love about the giant lizard’s movies. Obviously, the kaiju wasn’t totally destroyed in the first movie and will return to reunite with the characters from the first part, some new ones, along with the story’s main villain: King Ghidorah. And a good fight between the two giant monsters is always something worth seeing.
The film will take place only two years after Godzilla Minus One, in 1949, just after World War II: the perfect moment for the monster’s first appearance. It remains to be seen whether they’ll know how to make an allegory as powerful as they did in 2023, but given that the director, Yamazaki Takashi, is once again stepping behind the camera, we can expect one of the best kaiju movies.
Not only is it brutal and violent, but it’s also so spectacular that it’s Japan’s first film shot specifically for Imax (clearly aiming for international success, of course). It will open in Japan on November 3, and will reach cinemas around the world (including Spain) just 3 days later. Let’s see if, with any luck, it doesn’t gobble us up before we even get into the theater.
Who would’ve thought? After 29 years on the air and 338 episodes, South Park has come to an end. Goodbye, South Park… And hello, South America. For the new season of their immortal series, Trey Parker and Matt Stone have decided to take aim at Donald Trump and laugh their heads off at his absurd decisions (like calling Lake Ontario Lake America), backed by big companies.
As the creators have announced, “Inspired by the courage and patriotism of Apple and Google, we’re going to change South Park’s title to South America. We especially want to thank our parent company, Paramount – a Skydance Company“. Ruled with an iron fist by the far-right billionaire David Ellison, South Park knows it’s untouchable and the only show that can laugh at this nonsense without repercussions. After all, it’s one of the few things that still still gets ratings.
On September 16 we’ll know what they have in store, but for now, on the promotional poster, Donald Trump appears in front of the rest of the characters after last season, very conspicuously, having an affair with Satan himself… something Satan was absolutely sick of. After all, he was repeating the toxic behavior of his ex-boyfriend, Saddam Hussein.
For those of us who’ve been following the series all these years, it’s only natural to be dying to know what they’ve done with this new season. After all, if last season they were the only ones who could stand up to the president and tie him in knots, in this one, with its future secured, they can only raise the stakes. Can’t wait to go back to Colorado.
In Hollywood there is an ever-growing divide because of AI. those who defend it as the future and those who reject it are opposing camps that don’t overlap and seem destined to clash. And everyone is choosing a side. No one seems to have a tepid opinion about it, opining bluntly on the topic of the moment. And Werner Herzog, an extremely opinionated director, has been no exception.
A director who doesn’t mince words
In an interview with Indiewire the director gave his opinion on AI in relation to About a Hero, a hybrid documentary that wanted to recreate the atmosphere of his films. On that he stated that “this young filmmaker’s intention was never to remake any (of my films), but to do something in that spirit. And I immediately said: ‘You’ll fail. It’s such a stupid idea. It’s phenomenally, abysmally stupid. I won’t take part in it’”.
But he hasn’t limited himself to giving his opinion on About a Hero, which he has called “a failure”. He has also spoken about AI in general. “It’s so standardized that AI can step in because there’s no real narrative. It’s an imitation of something that has already been done”. Doubling down, he said that he thinks it’s great that people use AI, but not for the reasons given by his colleagues who support it. “I think it’s great that AI replaces all the idiots who do nothing but repeat, repeat and repeat to the point of exhaustion. When it’s already ad nauseam, please, please, please, let AI step in and do the work”.
With an opinion this strong, Herzog clearly positions himself against AI, but also against the absence of creativity and artistic talent in today’s world. Something he has harshly criticized throughout his entire career. All this while he promotes his next film, Bucking Fastard, which will be screening at the Venice Film Festival in the coming days.
Amazon has had a turbulent history with OpenAI over the last year. Betting big on Luca Guadanigno’s new film, a Sam Altman biopic starring Andrew Garfield, everything seemed to be going smoothly. Then, in June Amazon announced that it would invest $50 billion in OpenAI. Then the film, which turned out to be very critical of the CEO of the company in which they had invested heavily, was no longer of interest to Amazon, and was canceled by the company itself.
A film rescued from oblivion
Despite all this turmoil, the film, Artificial, was bought by another production company, Neon, which is now releasing its first trailer. A very intriguing trailer that promises a spectacular performance from Garfield and that promises to make those who still believe Altman is a genius very uncomfortable. Or at least, not a tremendously questionable person.
Artificial will focus, specifically, on the days when Altman was fired and rehired as CEO of OpenAI. Very specific circumstances in which Guadanigno promises to explore not only the business and personal situation that led to it, but also Altman as a person. Far from grand, flattering portraits of Altman, seeking to truly portray the person behind the title of CEO.
The film is set for a Christmas release in the US after its run through the London and New York festivals, but it still doesn’t have a confirmed global release. So we’ll still have to wait a little longer to learn more about this film that looks set to get people talking for a long time.
Dave the Diver is one of the most popular games in recent years. Released in early access on October 27, 2022 on Steam, officially released on June 28, 2023, it has had subsequent releases on consoles and mobile platforms to great success. So much so that now its developers, MINTROCKET, are celebrating a success that is generally reserved for titles from major studios. It has reached 10 million copies sold.
The game is a singular mix of underwater exploration and sushi restaurant management. By day we’ll have to go out and explore the oceans to catch all kinds of sea creatures and fish, as well as discover mysterious ancient artifacts. At night we’ll have to manage a sushi restaurant with what we’ve managed to catch and keep our customers happy, earning money so we can keep exploring the seas.
A hit with critics and players, Dave the Diver perfectly fuses these two styles of play into an addictive gameplay loop that still feels fresh years later. Thanks in part to expansions and unique collaborations, such as its Godzilla crossover. That helps explain those ten million sales.
The United States government launched a new section earlier this week on the official White House website called, simply, arcade. It featured a series of video game clones, that offered political commentary in poor taste and echoed President Donald Trump’s ideology. Among these games was a Tetris clone, Build the Wall: Zombie Border Siege, which has sparked a strong backlash.
The Tetris Company has stated that they have not authorized any parody of their game, let alone one making a political statement. On their X account, the social network formerly known as Twitter, they posted a statement saying that “at Tetris we believe in the power of connection and in bringing people together, not dividing them. To all our fans everywhere: we love you, we see you, and we are grateful to have you in our community“. In doing so, they distanced themselves from the US government’s hateful messaging.
The game, Build the Wall: Zombie Border Siege, used classic Tetris gameplay. It consisted of stacking blocks, but with a different goal. Here, the goal was to build a wall to keep “aliens” from crossing the “southern border” and invading the country, in a not-so-subtle nod to President Trump’s policies.
All of this led the US government to remove the game from the White House page without issuing any statement or offering any explanation. Although it is no longer available, they have not said why they made this decision, so we do not know the exact reason they removed the game. But it seems that, after all, The Tetris Company got what they wanted: their game wouldn’t be used to spread hate.
Long PDFs always seem to arrive when you don’t have enough time to read them from page one. A contract needs reviewing before a meeting, an annual report contains one figure you need right now, or an internal policy document hides an important exception somewhere after page 60.
Until recently, finding what mattered often meant skimming page after page and trying different terms in Search. Acrobat AI gives you another way in.
The latest AI workflows in Adobe Acrobat can summarize long files, answer questions in natural language, point you back to the source with citations, and work across more than one document. That changes how you approach a dense PDF.
The September 9 update takes the workflow a step further, focusing on what happens after you have found the information you need. Stylize is designed to turn a plain PDF into something more polished, while Generate Report can reshape dense material into a more visual and scannable format that is easier to share. Together, they extend Acrobat from helping you understand source material to helping you turn it into a clearer, more professional output. This is how it worked in practice.
What’s New in Adobe Acrobat AI and Why It Matters
Not everything here is new. Acrobat could already summarize long PDFs, answer questions about their contents, and point users back to the original source with citations. PDF Spaces also lets you work across several files rather than dealing with each one separately.
The September 9 release builds on that with Stylize and Generate Report. Adobe is also offering free, unlimited access to its latest Acrobat AI experiences, making it easier to try them with the documents you already work with.
Stylize is useful when the content of a PDF is fine but the document itself is not something you would necessarily want to send to a client or executive. From Acrobat, you can apply document styles and color themes, get font recommendations, and add images, icons, and other visual elements. In other words, you can give an existing PDF a more professional finish without rebuilding the whole thing.
Generate Report tackles a different problem. It takes dense source material and turns it into a clearer, more structured format. That fits neatly with Acrobat’s other AI tools: first understand the material, then turn it into something more useful. Instead of handing someone the same long PDF you just worked through, you can present the key information in a more scannable format that is easier to communicate and discuss.
This is where Adobe’s “Do That With Acrobat” campaign message starts to feel less like a slogan. The PDF does not have to be the end of the job.
My Test Setup: Testing Acrobat With Long, Dense PDFs
For the hands-on, I wanted documents that would actually be annoying to read under time pressure. I used a long services agreement, an annual business report, an internal policy document, and a technical manual.
I tested a two-part workflow. First, I used Generative Summary, AI Assistant, and PDF Spaces to find and understand the information I needed. Then I used the new 9/9 features to see what Stylize and Generate Report could do with the final output.
I also avoided vague prompts. Instead, I asked the sort of questions I would actually want answered while working:
“Summarize this document in five points and identify any actions or deadlines.”
“What are the termination notice periods, renewal conditions, and payment obligations?”
“Which risks does this report identify as the most significant?”
“List the exceptions to this policy and explain who they apply to.”
“Compare these documents and highlight changes in dates, obligations, and key figures.”
Normally, questions like these mean searching for several terms, jumping around the document, and keeping track of what you have already found.
With Acrobat, the most significant difference is that you can start with the question instead.
Fastest Win: Summarizing Long PDFs Quickly
Generative Summary is probably the easiest feature to appreciate straight away. Open a long PDF, and Acrobat can break it down into sections and key points, giving you a much better idea of what is inside before you start digging through individual pages.
I also liked the cross-references. They link the summary back to the corresponding part of the PDF, so if something catches your attention, you can go straight to the source instead of searching for it again.
On a lengthy report, that is a useful change. On the annual report, the manual route would have meant using the contents page to guess which sections might be relevant, trying different text searches, or manually skimming for the figures I needed. Generative Summary meant I could start with an overview, identify the relevant sections, and jump straight to them.
The summary is not a substitute for reading the important sections. It is more like a map that points me to the parts worth checking first.
Saving Time With Targeted Questions
Summaries help you get your bearings. Asking questions is where Acrobat AI Assistant became more useful for me.
Contracts are a good example. The information you need might be described as a “termination period,” a “notice requirement,” or a “cancellation provision.” If you do not know which wording the document uses, Search can turn into trial and error.
With Acrobat AI Assistant, I can ask the question directly. “When does this agreement renew?” or “What exceptions apply to this policy?” are much closer to how I would ask a colleague than how I would search a PDF.
The citations are what make the answers practical. They show where the information came from and let you go back to the original wording instead of treating the generated response as the final word.
That is important for contracts, financial reports, policies, and anything else where a single sentence can change the meaning of the answer.
Once I have the information I need, AI Assistant can also help refine the material before I turn it into something I am ready to share. That creates a more complete workflow: understand the source, refine the content, then improve how it is presented.
Comparing PDFs and Turning Findings Into Something Easier to Share
Usually, one file is not the whole story. You may have this quarter’s report open next to the previous one, an updated policy beside the old version, or several research papers that all cover the same subject from different angles.
PDF Spaces brings those sources together. From there, Acrobat can help pull out themes, summaries, comparisons, and other useful information while keeping citations linked to the original material.
When I used the prompt, “Compare these documents and highlight changes in dates, obligations, and key figures,” working across files in PDF Spaces meant I only had to ask for the comparison once. I could then follow the references back to the source files instead of repeating the same search in every PDF.
This is where the September 9 update becomes more interesting. Once I had identified the key changes and relevant points, I could move from understanding the documents to improving the final handoff.
Stylize offered a way to improve the presentation of an existing PDF. It worked best for documents whose content was already in good shape but whose presentation needed more polish. Generate Report took a different approach, turning dense information into a more visual and structured format that was easier to hand off for review.
Generate Presentation adds another option, turning source material into a presentation that can be refined before sharing or exporting.
The distinction between the new features became clear in testing: Stylize is about making an existing document look more polished, while Generate Report is about making dense information easier to understand and communicate.
Keeping Control of the Final Result
One of the things I found useful about Acrobat AI is that it helps me get to the information I need without having to work through a lengthy document from the beginning.
The citations make it easy to explore the source material behind an answer when I want more context. For contracts, reports, policies, or financial documents, that means I can quickly move from an AI-generated overview to the relevant section of the original PDF.
The same applies when creating a report or refining a document. Acrobat can take much of the work out of organising and presenting the material, while I can still make the final adjustments before sharing it.
For me, that combination works well: Acrobat helps speed up the process, while I stay in control of what ultimately gets sent to a client, colleague, or executive.
Who Can Benefit Most From Acrobat AI
If your job involves digging through long PDFs for one clause, figure, deadline, or paragraph, it is easy to see the appeal.
A contract is the obvious example. If I need to check a renewal clause or payment condition, I would rather ask Acrobat and go to the cited page than work through the document from the beginning. The same goes for a long report when I only need one figure, or an internal policy when I am looking for a specific exception.
The strongest use cases are professionals working with dense, text-heavy or tabular material, including legal and procurement teams reviewing clauses, finance teams working with report figures, HR teams organizing policies, researchers gathering information, and sales and marketing teams presenting detailed audits to executive-level readers.
The source documents might differ in all these cases, but the goal is the same: get to the important information quickly, understand it, and present it clearly.
I also like that the AI tools are part of Acrobat itself. Once I have found and refined what I need, I can keep working with the same PDF rather than moving the workflow somewhere else.
Adobe is offering free, unlimited access to the new AI experiences as part of the September 9 launch, making this a good time to try them with the sort of documents you already deal with at work.
For me, that is the real appeal of the update. Long PDFs are still long PDFs. Acrobat AI makes it easier to understand what matters, turn those findings into a clearer output, and give the final document a more polished finish.
The result is a workflow that goes beyond simply finding information: understand it, refine it, transform it, and hand it off with confidence.
Apple has set its September 9 “Surprise and Shine” event for 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT in Cupertino. Going by the usual mix of reports and rumors, this is where Apple is expected to unveil its first foldable iPhone, the iPhone 18 Pro lineup, and new Apple Watch models.
There’s a decent chance you’ll also see Apple hardware chief John Ternus take the lead in his first major keynote as CEO. He succeeded Tim Cook on September 1, with Cook now serving as Executive Chairman.
As for the foldable iPhone, the rumored names floating around are iPhone Ultra and iPhone Duo. Reports say it could come with a 5.5-inch outer screen and a 7.8-inch inner display, carry a price tag above $2,000, and possibly leave out a telephoto camera. Even so, it’s still being seen as a product that could help drive growth, even though Apple is arriving late to the category compared with Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi, and other competitors, especially in China.
There could be plenty more on stage. Apple may also introduce the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, with an A20 Pro chip, a smaller Dynamic Island made possible by under-display Face ID, camera upgrades, and a sky-blue finish. Reports also suggest the standard iPhone 18 has been pushed back until spring 2027. Add in possible Apple Watch Series 12 or Apple Watch Ultra updates, plus the new M6 Mac mini and M5 Ultra Mac Studio, which are said to go on sale September 22.
If you usually follow Apple launches, this keynote looks like one to watch. Apple is expected to stream it on its official website, YouTube, and the Apple TV app, and if the company sticks to its usual pattern, a replay should be available soon after.
Lanterns, the new Green Lantern series, is off to a strong start. Early reactions to the first episodes have been warm, and one reason keeps coming up: the show puts women at the center of the mystery instead of leaving them in the usual slots, support, love interest, or walking exposition for the male heroes.
Zoe Macon and Bernadette Stewart have their own motives, make their own choices, and deal with the fallout right alongside Hal Jordan and John Stewart. That pushes back against the superhero TV blind spot Poorna Jagannathan has described as a binary , where women matter in female-led projects but get pushed aside in male-led ones. Episode 4 makes that clearer than anything so far by revealing Zoe Macon as a Manhunter , shifting her from what looked like a secondary role into one of the story’s major moving parts.
That hits differently in a genre that’s been criticized for years for underrepresenting women, and for too often portraying them as emotional, less capable, or in need of rescue. It also stands out in DC’s screen history, which has too often kept its deeper female arcs for titles led by women. If you’re looking for a character-driven Green Lantern story, this looks worth watching, and you can catch Lanterns as the early episodes roll out. Still, the reaction so far seems to be coming mostly from the US, and the real test is whether can keep this up across a full season.
