Harrison Ford has praised Troy Baker’s performance in the video game Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, in which the voice actor portrays Indiana Jones. Ford described Baker’s performance as “brilliant,” emphasizing that artificial intelligence is not needed to replace voice actors. This statement comes in a context of growing concern about the use of artificial intelligence in acting, a topic that has sparked debate in the entertainment industry.
Nothing can replace the work of a human being
In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal, Ford reiterated his concerns about the prevalence of performances generated by artificial intelligence. “You don’t need artificial intelligence to steal my soul. You can do it for a few cents with good ideas and talent,” he commented, emphasizing the irreplaceable value of human talent in interpretation.
Despite concerns about the future of digital representations, Ford is not worried about the possibility of his image being replicated in upcoming projects. “My plan is to keep working behind that face until I no longer care what happens,” he stated, suggesting that his dedication to acting remains firm, regardless of technological evolution.
In the same conversation, Ford humorously addressed the box office failure of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, casually responding: “Things happen.” This laid-back attitude is characteristic of the actor, who seems to face challenges both in his career and in the industry with remarkable pragmatism.
The combination of praise for human performance and criticism of AI reflects a broader trend in the entertainment community, where the balance between technological innovation and the preservation of human talent continues to be a pivotal issue.

Xbox has significantly expanded its ecosystem, allowing its games to reach various screens and strongly betting on Cloud Gaming. In a recent interview with The Destin Channel, Phil Spencer, head of Xbox, confirmed that Microsoft’s next console is in development and is expected to be released in the coming years. Spencer emphasized the importance of hardware innovation to differentiate in a market that has seen a decrease in differentiation between consoles.
Xbox now also on PlayStation
“I want us to innovate and make hardware the differentiating element,” expressed Spencer, emphasizing that the brand’s identity should be based on both technological innovation and the offering of exclusive games. This strategy translates into a change of perspective, where Xbox will begin to release more titles on competing platforms, including consoles like the PlayStation 5.
A shocking announcement was the confirmation that Forza Horizon 5, the popular open-world racing game, will make its debut on PlayStation 5 in the spring of 2025. This version will include all the content available for Xbox and PC, such as updates, expansions, and an extensive fleet of over 900 cars, in addition to enabling crossplay between platforms. Definitely, this move marks a new phase in the video game market, breaking with previous practices.
Additionally, Playground Games is working on a special update called Horizon Realms, which promises to feature community-created worlds for all players. With these changes, Xbox aims not only to stay relevant but to reinvent its image and expand its impact in the digital entertainment industry.

The DOOM saga by id Software is ready to welcome its latest title, DOOM: The Dark Ages, which will be released on May 15. After intense anticipation, an extensive gameplay video has been revealed showcasing the new mechanics and features of the game, in addition to confirming the minimum and recommended PC requirements, which has generated great interest in the gaming community.
One of the main attractions of this release is its collector’s edition, available for 209.99 euros. This edition has been specially designed for fans of the franchise and contains an impressive figure of the DOOM Slayer, depicting the protagonist’s appearance in this installment, armed with new and devastating weapons. Additionally, it includes a replica of the red key card, a metal box, and a copy of the game in its premium version.
The collector’s edition also provides early access to the campaign, allowing players to start their adventure two days before the official release. Additionally, a DLC that will be released in the future, an art book documenting the game’s development, and a digital soundtrack are included. Additional cosmetic items will also be offered, further enriching the gaming experience.
We will have it with us sooner than we expected
DOOM: The Dark Ages will be available for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC platforms. Xbox Game Pass subscribers will be able to enjoy the game from its launch, offering an excellent opportunity for those who want to experience the title without an initial purchase. Without a doubt, this release generates a lot of expectations and promises to bring an intense and exciting experience to all fans of the saga.
DOOM: The Dark Ages is shaping up to be the most brutal installment of the iconic video game franchise, promising to elevate the level of action from its predecessor, DOOM Eternal. This new installment acts as a prequel to the game released in 2016 and is designed to immerse players in a medieval setting inspired by works like Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight and The Lord of the Rings. The narrative aims to integrate organically, providing an experience comparable to major cinematic productions. New weapons for a new time for the Doom Guy One of the most notable innovations will be the inclusion […]
One of the most notable innovations will be the inclusion of new weapons and mechanics. Among them is the Saw Shield, which combines defense and attack by allowing players to block enemy shots and return damage. This will mark a significant change in gameplay, focusing more on brute force than on aerial mobility, a return to the roots of the saga that will delight classic fans.
The game, developed by id Software, will be available on May 15, 2025, on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC, and will be accessible from day one on Game Pass. Additionally, pre-orders have been opened, allowing early access to special editions.
Much has been said about the essence and the sensations that this title seeks to convey. According to creative director Hugo Martin, DOOM: The Dark Ages is designed to offer an intense experience, where players will feel like true “superweapons” in a medieval war against hell. The updates to the combat mechanics will include devastating weapons and more dynamic finishers, aiming to satisfy both enthusiastic veterans and new players.
The innovations will also include a system of accessibility options, ensuring that players of all levels can enjoy the carnage that the title will offer. Expectations are high, and the details that have been emerging promise a memorable and exciting gaming experience.
Commandos is one of the greatest Spanish games in history. Pyro Studios created one of the most legendary games in our industry that is still remembered today. In fact, it is so well remembered that it seems we will be returning to it very soon. Although that soon won’t be as soon as we would like. Because we always want more Commandos, but it seems we will still have to wait a bit for that. The next iteration of the game is called Commandos: Origins. It is developed by Claymore Game Studios and is a remake of the first game. And although we are very eager for it and […]
Commandos is one of the great Spanish games in history. Pyro Studios created one of the most legendary games in our industry that is still remembered today. In fact, it is so well remembered that it seems we will be returning to it very soon. Although that soon won’t be as soon as we would like. Because we always want more Commandos, but it seems we will still have to wait a bit for that.
The next iteration of the game is called Commandos: Origins. It is developed by Claymore Game Studios and is a remake of the first game. And although we are very eager and the demo left us wanting more, we are afraid we will still have to wait a bit. It has been delayed until 2025.
The reason for this is to be able to polish the game. After a closed beta and the game’s launch, they have been gathering player feedback. And many criticisms have focused on some critical aspects that can still be modified. That’s why they have decided to take a few more months to release the best possible version of the game, making Commandos: Origins just as great as we remember the original Commandos to be.
What can we expect from the game?
This means several things. In addition to a general performance optimization, they will work on some other specific aspects. They will improve enemy AI, adjust controls, and modernize the loot system. All this while offering more customization options. At the same time, they will use this time to refine the user interface and user experience. Demonstrating, in a very detailed dev log, that they are very clear about the points where they can finish polishing the game.
Commandos: Origins will be released in March 2025 for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC. Additionally, it will be available on day 1 on GamePass. So you have no excuse to miss this return to one of the biggest franchises in Spanish video gaming.
Commandos: Origins is a strategy game. It is a war game that takes players back to World War II, letting them experience the birth of the legendary elite force known as the Commandos. You play as Jack O’Hara, the Green Beret, and five other skilled soldiers, each with their own specialties. Together, you embark on dangerous missions across different war zones, like the Arctic and deserts in Africa.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is the latest major title from Microsoft for 2024. Although Indiana Jones is not what it used to be, its appeal is undeniable. Its original trilogy remains fabulous, and its iconic status is still felt everywhere. Not for nothing, it has shaped two very important video game franchises: Tomb Raider and Uncharted. So it would be fair for its own video game to also be revolutionary for the medium. However, to know for sure, you might still have to wait. When does Indiana Jones and the Great Circle come out? It all depends on which version of the game you have acquired. […]
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is Microsoft’s last big title of 2024. Although Indiana Jones is not what it used to be, its appeal is undeniable. Its original trilogy remains fabulous and its iconic status is still felt everywhere. Not for nothing, it has shaped two very important video game franchises: Tomb Raider and Uncharted. So it would be fair for its own video game to be revolutionary for the medium as well. However, to know for sure, you will probably still have to wait.
When is Indiana Jones and the Great Circle coming out?
It all depends on which version of the game you have purchased. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has an official release date of December 9, 2024 for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC. In addition, it will be available on GamePass that same day. Eventually, it will also arrive on PlayStation 5, but for that, you will have to wait until the spring of 2025.
What exact time can I start playing?
From Bethesda, they have created a map indicating the exact time you can enjoy the game. In the case of Spain, we will be able to enjoy the game a little after midnight – Starting at 1 AM on December 9th. But if you are interested in the game, the pre-download is already available.
Is there any way to start playing earlier?
If you purchase the Premium Edition or the Collector’s Edition, among other things, you will have access to early access that will allow you to access the game three days earlier. That means you can start playing on December 6th. In other words, if you buy it now or if you already have it, you can start playing right now. That is, if you have already pre-downloaded it.
What are the game’s technical requirements for PC?
Once again, Bethesda has created an infographic clarifying all doubts on the matter. The minimum requirements will require you to have 16GB of RAM, an RTX series graphics card, and 120GB of space on an SSD hard drive. And from there, they only grow. This means that the average PC user according to Steam statistics might be left out of this release. But if you have a good computer, you shouldn’t have a problem. As long as you don’t want to enable ray tracing.
What is the game about?
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is an adventure and action game set between Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade, where Indiana Jones finds himself in the middle of a power struggle between various groups seeking to gain control of The Great Circle – several places of power that form a circle of power around the world.
How much does the game cost?
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle costs €69.99. The Premium Edition, which includes three days of early access, costs €99.99, and the Collector’s Edition, only available physically and does not include the game on the disc, costs €199.99.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is an adventure game. It is an exciting first-person game set in 1937, where players take on the role of the famous archaeologist, Indiana Jones. As Indy, you embark on a mission to stop sinister forces attempting to uncover an ancient power related to the Great Circle. The game is designed for a single-player experience and is developed from a first-person perspective, immersing you deeply in action and exploration.
Call of Duty has finally arrived on Game Pass. And that has raised many questions. The most pressing one for many has been, will it continue to sell as well? After all, Game Pass goes against game sales. Why buy a game when you already pay for Game Pass? But Microsoft always says that people buy more games thanks to their service. Something many studios disagree with. So, what happened with the latest installment of the franchise, Black Ops 6? Well, apparently, it has. It has worked great. It has worked great… for Activision […]
Call of Duty has finally arrived on Game Pass, and that has raised many questions. The most pressing for many has been, will it continue to sell as well? After all, Game Pass goes against game sales. Why buy a game when you already pay for Game Pass? But Microsoft always says that people buy more games thanks to their service, which many studios have disagreed with. So, what happened with the latest installment of the franchise, Black Ops 6? Well, apparently, it has worked great.
It has worked great… for Activision Blizzard, at least
According to comments from Activision, Black Ops 6 is the biggest Call of Duty in history. But there’s a catch. It is the Call of Duty that has had the most players during its launch month. In addition, it has had the most hours played, and the most matches played during that same month.
Matt Piscatella, executive director of the video game research firm Circana, states that the only way to define the engagement numbers of Black Ops 6 is as “bonkers.” Strangely, youthful choices for a mature man in a professional setting seems to have been a great launch, at least for Activision. Because when we move from player numbers, the effects of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 are much more nuanced.
As Piscatella himself commented last week, the effect of Black Ops 6 in other areas has been much less spectacular. Subscriptions have indeed increased, but not dramatically. Game sales on PlayStation have decreased, but it has not resulted in massive cannibalization. Furthermore, it does not seem to have significantly affected console sales. From this, it can be inferred that those who have a PC or both consoles have reasons to acquire Game Pass, but those who have PlayStation do not see reasons in Call of Duty to switch to Xbox.
Otherwise, the game’s sales have been modest. To put it kindly. Being 5% higher than last year’s launch, Modern Warfare 3, they are still 28% lower than the 2022 launch, Modern Warfare 2. Something that might be offset by moves in Game Pass. But it shows that, although undoubtedly a success in terms of player numbers, the move still has to prove to be a success in economic terms.
The Cold War pitted the United States against the former USSR in the second half of the 20th century in conflicts that took place in various countries, featuring factions funded and/or manipulated by one or the other superpower. In Call of Duty: Black Ops, you will experience these and many other wars in first person.
Few games are going to make more of an impact for the rest of the year than Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. If there is even one that will. Even with just days left until its release, fans are climbing the walls for every new piece of information. We know. We see you. We feel the same way. And that’s why it’s paradoxical that, even with so little time left, some relevant details are still leaking in the most ridiculous ways possible. The pizza chain Little Caesar has an offer for its customers in the US, Canada, and Mexico for the […]
Few games are going to make more of an impact for the rest of the year than Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. If there is even one that will do so. Even with just days left until its release, fans are already climbing the walls for every new snippet of information. We know. We see you. We feel the same. And that’s why it’s paradoxical that, even with so little time left, some relevant details continue to leak in the most ridiculous ways possible.
The pizza chain Little Caesar has an offer for its customers in the US, Canada, and Mexico through which they can win prizes for Black Ops 6. So far, there’s nothing unusual. What perhaps should have been better thought out by Little Caesar was sending an email now that literally stated that “the Battle Pass will be sent to your Activision account at the start of season 1 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on November 14”. Thus revealing the release date of the game’s online first season.
In this way, it is confirmed that we will still have to wait three weeks for the first season of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Call of Duty: Warzone. This should give us more than enough time to complete the campaign, which, as Activision has emphasized, will be much longer than usual this time.
Perhaps that’s why, from Activision, they haven’t wanted to reveal too much about the campaign for now. We know it will take place during the Gulf War and will be centered on the CIA, so we can expect to be involved in covert missions that occurred during that time. This will likely touch on the use of chemical weapons and the controversial “Gulf Syndrome,” a disease now semi-forgotten, but which was said to affect veterans who fought in the Gulf War and was never proven to exist.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be released next Friday, October 25th. It will be available at launch for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC. Additionally, it will be the first Call of Duty to be available at launch for Game Pass.
The Cold War pitted the United States against the former USSR in the second half of the 20th century in conflicts that occurred in various countries, featuring factions funded and/or manipulated by one or the other superpower. In Call of Duty: Black Ops, you will experience these and many other wars in first person.
If you are worried about the future of ‘Call of Duty’ on Microsoft, don’t worry so much: ‘Black Ops 6’ will be released directly on Game Pass on day one, while the big question is what will happen with the others.
When Microsoft bought Activision, the big question everyone had was ‘what’s going to happen with Call of Duty?‘ At the time, Microsoft promised that it would continue to be multi-platform game, but it has taken almost a year to have its first game added to Game Pass. This week, the Xbox game library will finally get Call Of Duty Modern Warfare III (the 2023 version, not the 2009 one).
It is the 20th game in the franchise (among the main sagas), and it should be noted that it didn’t quite please everyone at its launch, so it is possible that Microsoft will use Game Pass to revitalize the game a little. And if you are worried about the future of Call of Duty on Microsoft, don’t worry so much: Black Ops 6 will be released directly on Game Pass on day one, while the big question is what will happen with the others.
After all, if the idea is to have a game library that serves as a showcase and as a ‘Netflix’ for your company, it would be appropriate to have titles like Black Ops, World at War, or the first titles in its history, which already dates back to 21 years ago. Tomorrow the war will start on Game Pass. All you have to do is put on your helmet and run towards the explosions.
Recently, Microsoft announced its intention to change the different levels of its Game Pass. This move has not been well received by users or analysts, who see it as an anti-consumer move.
Many people thought we had already left all the drama of the FTC behind. We were not so optimistic. When it comes to big corporations, it’s rare to leave behind legal proceedings, monopoly accusations and, to be frank, doing whatever they want without considering anything beyond their whims. And that’s exactly what has happened with Microsoft. Specifically, with Game Pass.
Recently, Microsoft announced its intention to change the different levels of its Game Pass. This move has not been well received by users or analysts, who see it as an anti-consumer move. It has been nicknamed the Call of Duty fee. This is something that the FTC agrees with, and that has led them to appeal to the courts.
After the courts allowed Xbox to acquire Activision Blizzard last October 2023, the FTC, the US Chamber of Commerce, was not happy with the decision. Now they have presented evidence for their claim, among previous evidence, how these changes regarding the Game Pass come from allowing the acquisition.
They specifically say that this is “product degradation – removing the most valuable games from Microsoft’s new service – combined with a price increase for existing users, exactly the kind of consumer harm that the FTC alleged this merger would cause.” They emphasized that “this price increase coincides with the inclusion of Call of Duty in the most expensive Game Pass option, and the discontinuation of the console option that will occur shortly before the release of the new Call of Duty.”
While according to Microsoft’s lawyers these statements are “factually incomplete,” they also do not clarify how they are not true. How this will turn out is something that only time will tell, as the possibility of the judge deciding to revoke the merger between both companies is still on the table. That’s why, even if you thought the Xbox legal drama was over, we’re afraid we still have months or years of appeals ahead of us.
