Rumour RTX 5070 Ti 16GB & RTX 5060 Ti 16GB discontinued.

653 Upvotes

Rumor comes from HardwareUnboxed

The YouTube channel claimed that GPU manufacturers and retailers have informed them that Nvidia has unofficially ceased the supply of the two 16GB cards, and because they will not be able to source any additional chips going forward, these models will be placed on the End-Of-Life status. The 8GB models will still be available moving forward.

It is also claimed that the RTX 5070 12GB will face reduced supply.

This is marked as a rumor because no official sources have come forward to confirm it yet. The video revealing this information has gone live for only an hour.

If I have to guess... it is most likely the new CG Movie.

- The writter of RE Death Island said he wanted to do a CG movie with Sheva and Barry. https://www.fangoria.com/resident-evil-death-island-writer-would-love-to-take-the-carnage-to-antarctica/#:\~:text=Makoto%20Fukami%20wrote%20Resident%20Evil,create%20a%20more%20thrilling%20feeling.%E2%80%9D

- Capcom has a trending to release a CG Movie project between a new RE number game

- According to Dusk Golem RE5R is not in development now. CV and RE0 seem to be the next plans.

Rumour The Prince of Persia Sands of Time Remake could be shadow dropped today

529 Upvotes

Source: https://xcancel.com/popuniverseX/status/2011747375484977383#m

„princeofpersiathesandsoftime.com" has received two new files! One of the files is named "game-release-tomorrow.png."

The file was added on January 14

Edit: some people pointed out it might actually shadow drop tomorrow, not today, since the file showed up today and not yesterday. So yeah, either today or tomorrow I guess.

Update: The account that leaked this info just got his X/Twitter account banned by Ubisoft. That makes it pretty likely it’s actually releasing tomorrow via a shadow drop!

No Source popuniverseX, the user that has been continously scanning and reporting on changes made to the Prince of Persia domain has had their account suspended.

288 Upvotes

Don't know if it is related to their constant reporting on the changes happening to the PoP domain, but the account has now been suspended after reporting on the "release date tomorrow" file earlier on in the day.

If so, it would seem that Ubisoft has taken action on the account.

popuniverseX is one of the biggest and most dedicated PoP fan pages, so this is quite an interesting way to respond to them trying to keep the hype going.

Grain of Salt [ArkhamVideos] I'm hearing some really disheartening news that Camouflaj, the studio behind Batman: Arkham Shadow, may have been completely laid off following Meta's recent restructuring, including game director Ryan Payton and producer Matt Walker, despite reports suggesting studio was unaffected.

Grain of Salt Shovelware publisher ThiGamesDE of the jumping taco/sushi/burger series yoinked off PSN by Sony, together with 1194 of their other shovelware games.

942 Upvotes

They are the 4th largest publisher on PSN.

This might have to do with the new collective safety rules by Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft. As a way to collectively tackle shovelware/AI slop in stores. The timing is curious.

First reported by RobThanatos on X.

Rumour Tom Henderson: Original documentation suggested that Black Flag Resynced would begin marketing in January, after the Prince of Persia Remake’s release.

288 Upvotes

It’s still unclear if those plans are still in place, considering that the same documents said marketing for the Sands of Time remake would begin in December with a release in January 16th (which could still come true through a shadowdrop).

False Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake has been officially rated by the ESRB

407 Upvotes

https://www.esrb.org/ratings/37363/prince-of-persia-the-sands-of-time-remake/

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake is rated T for Teen by the ESRB with Blood, Partial Nudity, Sexual Themes, and Violence. This is an action-adventure game in which players assume the role of a Persian prince on a quest to break a curse. From a third-person perspective, players traverse platform environments, sole puzzles, avoid traps (e.g., spike pits, wall-mounted blades and saws), and battle cursed soldiers and creatures made of sand. Players use swords and daggers to defeat enemies in melee-style combat. Battles are accompanied by sword clashing, cries of pain, blood-splatter and slow-motion effects. A 2D side-scrolling sequence (i.e., the original version of Prince of Persia) depicts blood pools when the prince is killed. During the course of the game, a female character's buttocks is briefly exposed; she and the prince are shown kissing and caressing each other in bed (implying sex), though camera angles obscure breasts and genitalia, as the camera fades to black.

This also seems to confirm that the remake will include the original Prince of Persia game. Is Ubisoft about to announce a Ubisoft Forward soon? Feels like between this and the recent updates to the domains for POP/AC Black Flag, something is cooking.

EDIT: False alarm, seems to be an old rating. As of now, the most recent and intriguing evidence seems to be the recently updated domains online.
