Commerce/Deals Writer
Antonio is a commerce writer for The Verge, covering tech deals and trying to save you [and himself] money. He comes from the world of photography and gets very obsessive about lenses and the discourse over "bokeh." When not deal hunting, he does wedding photography on the side, plays lots of video/tabletop games, collects vinyl records, and professes his love for the great state of New Jersey.

Ratatan doesn’t just look and sound like Patapon, it even has Hiroyuki Kotani, the designer of the PSP original, working on it.
Oh, and it’s a four-player co-op roguelike? Okay, that’s it — I’m dead. Someone please res me when this launches in 2025.
It looks like the Sony A1 II is coming soon, as Sony has posted a livestream for November 19th at 9AM ET.
There may also be a new super fast 28-70mm f/2 lens announced along with it.
The original A1 of 2021 is an excellent camera for pros, though Nikon and Canon have since played catchup with the Z9 and R1.

Half-Life 2 will be 20 years-old on November 16th, and Nvidia’s new trailer for its Half-Life 2 RTX project is part visual showcase, part tribute — with testimonials from the remake’s lead developers at Obifold Studios.
Half-Life 2 RTX now has a Steam store page, where it’s listed as “Coming soon.”

That’s what Fujifilm says it’s doing, teasing a new GFX Eterna camera for 2025 that will use the same 102-megapixel sensor in a filmmaking-focused form factor.
These are usually for high-end industry pros, though Fujifilm’s GFX line is one of the most affordable options for medium format photo cameras.
