The spokesperson continued: “We are evolving our organisation and reflecting these changes to make us faster, more agile, and better able to grow sustainably.” Many of the jobs to be lost are in retail and customer service. Dyson employs its own staff to sell products in department stores but as shoppers increasingly turn to online shopping over high street outings, these roles are less crucial and less profitable. The company employs 4,000 people in the UK out of a total worldwide workforce of 14,000....

It’s been a long time coming from developers Saber Interactive, who had originally planned to release the game in 2010.

You can check out the Inversion E3 trailer right here.

Those who used the Wii online are all too familiar with the concept of friend codes. In order to add a friend to your system’s list, you’d have to input their set of 12 numbers, and the only way it would work properly is if your friend did the same with your numbers. Even then, in some cases – like Super Smash Bros. Brawl – you would need to input yet another set of numbers altogether just to play that game with them....

[HTML1] As one of the more popular franchises at Nintendo’s disposal, Animal Crossing has given itself a reputation for receiving an installment on every platform the company releases, and it has been that way since the series first made its North American debut on the Gamecube in 2002.

The NCAA Football franchise has been a fan favorite for years with the titles remaining popular among football fans almost a decade after the last collegiate title in NCAA Football 14. NCAA Football frequently tops fan polls of sports series they would like to see return and second-hand copies of the series’ older titles continue to fetch a high price due to their rarity. Now, with the NCAA moving towards a model that would allow players to profit from their image, EA is reportedly working on streamlining its upcoming college football title....

Dying Light 2: How to Open Bazaar Tower Safe In order to open the Bazaar tower safe in Dying Light 2, players must ascertain the correct combination.

Dying Light 2’s day one patch was said to add over a thousand fixes and improvements to the game including fixes for various crashes and bugs that were causing AI and various objects to sink into the ground.

Clocking in at just under three minutes long, the trailer is similar to what fans have seen of the game before, offering a look at Dying Light 2’s zombies and human enemies. According to the developers, players will spend more time duking out with humans this time around, as 20 years have passed since the events of the first game. In that time, humanity has become bolder – except at night – which will have a tangible effect on the game thematically....

Dying Light 2 introduces a new protagonist, Aiden Caldwell, and the game takes place in a massive European urban setting called simply The City.

It was all part of an ongoing battle among the Hafts, the latest contenders for the title of corporate America’s most dysfunctional family. Since early this spring, 72-year-old Herbert and 40-year-old Robert Haft have locked horns over who would head the $1.3 billion Dart Group, which owns stakes in Crown–the nation’s third largest book merchant-and businesses such as Trak Auto, a discount-auto-parts chain. After Robert broached a plan for succeeding Herbert, the elder Haft booted him from the boards of Dart and Crown and also removed Gloria, who has supported her son....

We’ve seen the first moves in this direction with the inclusion of software – specifically intelligent, responsive technology – in its recent launches. Its current flagship cordless vacuum, the Dyson V15 Detect, has a piezo sensor that works in conjunction with an LCD screen to measure, count and display the number of dust particles being vacuumed up. The V15 Detect’s successor, the yet to be released Gen5detect, will build on this technology and give it a new twist: the vacuum cleaner will automatically raise or lower its suction power in response to the volume of dust it senses....

[HTML1] Bethesda’s E3 2015 press conference was by and large dominated by one game in particular, Fallout 4. Everyone is raving about how epic Fallout 4 looked during the presentation, and gamers everywhere quickly marked their calendars to prepare for the Fallout 4 release date of November 10th, 2015.

Both BioWare and EA have been particularly coy about the upcoming Mass Effect 4, releasing only tidbits of information on the highly anticipated title.

When it comes to games that require precision, the mouse and keyboard are often said to be the better option instead of a gamepad. It’s faster, far more accurate, and allows people to change their controls to better suit them. First-person shooters are always said to be the genre that benefits the most from more accurate controls, and since games like Halo and Call of Duty are still incredibly popular on the current hardware, the Xbox One controller and DualShock 4 need to keep up....
