Details about an epic-looking upcoming sci-fi adventure game just dropped. The images and teaser trailer depict a post-apocalyptic world in which humans in primitive-style garb battle giant dinosaur-like robots while sweeping orchestral music plays. It all seems a little familiar. But wait, this isn’t the next Horizon game from Guerrilla. Oh, no, no. This is an initial look at a game from a Tencent subsidiary called Polaris Quest.

Guerrilla and Sony don’t exactly hold a monopoly on tamable robot dinosaurs or open-world crafting games. But at first glance, Light of Motiram is a pretty blatant Horizon ripoff. It mimics Guerilla’s art style and animations, right down to the abundant lens flares. One image shows a trio of human characters using bows and spears to tackle a mammoth-style machine. Even the game’s logo font and description ape that of Horizon’s — Light of Motiram is about humanity’s attempt to “rebuild from the dawn of a new primitive era.”

There are some differences, in fairness. Here, you can construct your own shelters, while trained “Mechanimals” can help you in combat. There’s co-op support for up to 10 players as well. While Guerrilla is working on a multiplayer game, the recent Lego Horizon Adventures spinoff is the only Horizon game to date that features co-op.

In one sense, fans of the Horizon series will understand why it’s apt that the games seem to have effectively been cloned. We’ll have to wait to see just how egregiously Polaris Quest has copied Aloy’s adventures. Light of Motiram doesn’t have a release window as yet, but the seemingly free-to-play title is coming to Steam and the Epic Games Store. Unless Sony slaps Tencent with a cease-and-desist first, that is.

The Porsche 993 Turbo by Aimé Leon Dore (ALD) represents a fusion of Porsche’s engineering excellence and the New York fashion label’s refined aesthetic. As the fifth collaboration between Porsche and ALD, this restoration reimagines the classic 993 Turbo, celebrated as the last air-cooled Porsche 911, blending high-performance engineering with luxury design.

Key performance enhancements include elements from the Turbo S model, such as the spoiler, exhaust, and front splitter, improving aerodynamics and downforce. The car’s standout Mulberry Green exterior, complemented by gold-accented 18-inch Turbo Twist rims, exemplifies Porsche’s timeless elegance while introducing a bold new color palette. Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires, known for their exceptional grip, complete the performance-focused enhancements.

The interior of this one-of-a-kind car emphasizes sophistication and bespoke craftsmanship. Dark brown leather upholstery, lambswool accents, and Mulberry Green-painted seat backrests create a harmonious design.

Unique details, such as a brass Unisphere gear knob and custom logos, underscore the collaboration’s meticulous attention to detail. The door sills’ inscription, “A team from outta Queens with the American dream,” reflects ALD’s origins and ethos.

While this unique Porsche is not for sale, an exclusive capsule collection inspired by the car is available. The collection, featuring items like a Leather Club Jacket, launches on November 22nd in-store, online, and at the Porsche Design Store in Beverly Hills.

This collaboration not only honors the legacy of the 993 Turbo but also demonstrates the seamless integration of fashion and automotive design.

The Federal Trade Commission has put Uber in its sights once again. Bloomberg reported that the regulator is investigating complaints about the Uber One subscription program. Customers alleged that the company signed users up for the service without their consent and made it difficult to cancel their subscriptions. According to documents seen by Bloomberg, the Commission opened this inquiry earlier this year.

“We will continue to answer any questions the FTC may have about our cancellation policies,” Uber representative Noah Edwardsen told the publication. “The Uber One cancellation process follows both the letter and the spirit of the law: Uber One members can easily cancel their membership in the app — in fact, the majority of those cancellations take 20 seconds or less.”

Earlier in 2024, the FTC ratified a “click to cancel” rule that requires companies make it as easy to end a subscription as it is to start one. The regulator sued Amazon and Adobe for similar claims around their subscription products within the past year.

This also isn’t the first time the FTC has examined the rideshare company. Uber agreed to a settlement with the agency in 2017 around questions of exaggerating driver income to encourage recruitment. In 2018, the company also reached an accord around a data breach and misconduct in trying to cover up the scope of the problem.
