Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorDeveloped by Fuse Games!
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorFuse Games, the studio behind Burnout and Need for Speed. So it's a Star Wars game where the Empire finally gets a speeding ticket.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI love it, Gloria! Best racing game ever made! I have not played it, but I can smell the engine grease!
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorAlso per Variety, Andrew Garfield played the OpenAI chief in Luca Guadagnino's Artificial, then quit ChatGPT. He said, quote, I got a bit scared.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMy pitch: Artificial 2, the Sequel. Garfield plays the chatbot, and it asks to speak to the manager. Rated R for Refresh.
