The Brit, 33, has reportedly been nearing a new deal with the team for several weeks, but the parties are yet to finalise terms. However, Wolff said on Friday that he expected a deal to be done, with the last details being finalised. “We have been discussing before going into the winter holiday and then we kind of left it there to get away from Formula One and picked it up again in January,” he told a news conference at the Australian Grand Prix....

Adam Kownacki will bring his brawling, thumping style back to Barclays Center in Brooklyn, where he’ll face Gerald Washington in heavyweight action. Kownacki’s smash-mouth style isn’t pretty, but boy is it crowd-pleasing. He’s going to eat his fair share of punches, but he’s going to keep moving forward and throwing and landing more shots of his own — each equipped with a thud. At least that’s what the Polish fighter has been able to do effectively through 18 pro bouts, touting an 18-0 record with 14 KOs, as he continues to climb up the heavyweight ranks and build up his profile simultaneously....

The experience of grinding in domestic cricket day in and day out, made players realize the importance of hard work. Players had to earn their call to the national side. A call which came after rigors of four to five years had to be answered with full might. Players used to put all their energy and soul, to turn that one call into a regular place in the Indian Test side....

Playing aggressively right from the start, she pushed her lower-ranked opponent Russian Natalia Pogonina into trouble. But Pogonina managed to save the game and share points, according to a release.

If Hollywood rumor is to be believed, Henry Cavil won’t be returning to Superman, ditto Ben Affleck and Batman. Wonder Woman is still around but was apparently only good for one film before the disastrous sequel. The Flash, Black Adam, Blue Beetle, all these heroes are still awaiting their day in the sun, leaving only one character and one performance left to be the flagship of the DCEU.

Harley Quinn has been a bit of a cult hit since it first hit HBO Max with its creators likening it to a violent Mary Tyler Moore Show. The first two seasons on the network were hailed as a great animated comedy but it’s been on an extended hiatus due to some issues beyond its control thanks to the coronavirus pandemic. After the two-year layoff, it appears it’s almost back on the air....

I know nothing of the site SportsDirectNews, the site carrying the story, but it has all the hallmarks of the usual transfer folderol: lots of adds, a video that starts up on autoplay, and an article of about 200 words that contains an un-named source “close to the deal” who has this to say: I have been told by a person very close to the player that the deal is done and that it’s not Arsenal....

Master Chief’s AI companion has been with him since the very start, and her name has become synonymous with having a helping hand, like Windows’ own game-inspired assistant. Unfortunately, some fans feel the Halo series appears to have missed out on Cortana’s own explainer, as her design was among the most heavily criticized due to how much it deviated from her in-game blueprint.

The video is full of technical information about how they gutted, re-built, and optimized the Halo 3 engine to power Reach. That stuff is interesting, but what the in-game footage makes clear is simple: this game looks fantastic. With a huge amount of on-screen detail and a quantum leap in animation quality, Halo is definitely going out on a visual high point. But it’s not just the visuals getting an overhaul....

The fans who plan on purchasing the a physical copy of Halo 5 when it releases will need to download the patch before playing. Owners of the digital iteration ought to have the update set for pre-load, which brings the full size of the title to a rather hefty 55 GB. About a week ago, some copies of Halo 5: Guardians hit the streets early, and their box art revealed that Xbox One owners would need to free up 60 GB of hard drive space in order to install the game....

Cortana has been part of many entries in the Halo franchise, including Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 4, and Halo 5, as well as novels and the animated series Halo Legends. Despite the two being such an iconic duo in gaming, it turns out that the pair spent almost no time together throughout the Halo timeline, with them being partnered for mere weeks.

The news is precarious, as the developers were only able to say that “Installation 01 is not under imminent legal threat” as long as it doesn’t take in any money, thereby remaining non-commercial, and follows Microsoft’s Game Content Usage Rules. This means development is likely to continue and push the game closer to a release, but the game could still be swatted down at some point in the future....

It is quite interesting to see how far things have come since the game’s 2018 announcement, its big E3 2019 trailer, and the ups and downs in-between. After all, Halo Infinite’s multiplayer appears to be on track for grand success. The community has latched on to every technical preview and come out feeling like the multiplayer is the perfect blend of classic Halo fun with a fresh modern feel. As such, the question became whether or not the campaign can live up to the multiplayer of Halo Infinite, because it appeared to be top-notch already....

The game launched without its promised four-person and two-person co-op campaign – a feature that has also faced further delays, much to fan disappointment – and there was a general lack of content at Halo Infinite’s release. Fans have categorized the newest Halo title as a live-service game without the live updates, with developers 343 failing to deliver on the amount of new content that players expected, or even providing a detailed roadmap to show the studio’s plans....

Strictly speaking, 343 never marketed Halo Infinite as open-world either, merely drawing inspiration from open-world games.
