![]() The next update, to Firefox 75, is expected April 7. Mozilla has not said if it would maintain its every-four-week schedule of upgrading Firefox, which last month accounted for far less browser share than Chrome but more than Edge. 149 that build included fixes for the same vulnerabilities cited by Google when it patched Chrome 80 the day before. company did just that Thursday, when it refreshed Edge to build. Like Google, Microsoft told users that it will continue to service version 80 of its browser with security updates. "We are making this change to be consistent with the Chromium project, which recently announced a similar pause due to adjusted schedules," wrote Kyle Pflug, principal program management lead, in the Friday post. Both Chrome and Edge, after all, rely on the Google-led open-source Chromium project for their core technologies. Activity: Flight Simulators Games: Microsoft FlightSimulatorX(PC). It wasn't a surprise that Microsoft followed Google in halting browser upgrades. those thatjust appear in one game such as Faith (Mirror's Edge) and Frank West. (In a tweet, Paul Kinlan, the lead for the developer relations team at Google, ticked off several specific reasons for the suspension, including "lower productivity, worry about asking ecosystem to change, being able to respond quickly when there's an issue.") Both decisions were, of course, clearly caused by the pandemic and its disruptions, including vast numbers of company employees sent home to work there. Google didn't say COVID-19 triggered the decision either, asserting that the "adjusted work schedule" was to blame. Look out for our full review sometime next week.Google made a similar announcement March 18, telling Chrome users it had stopped upgrading the browser a day after it was due to shift from version 80 to 81. Our time with Mirror's Edge Catalyst proved to be a mixed bag, and it will be interesting to see how the full game shapes up. With a simple combo system and slick traversal, you feel like you have a fighting chance against the game's many goons - armed or otherwise. This time around you won't simply just run and slide your way out of trouble, as hand to hand combat works and for most part is delightfully entertaining. But if you're using this, what's the point of having an open world? There are parts of the world you might never see, if you're using this mode. It's what happens when turn by turn Google maps meet augmented reality, showing a path from one area to another without much fuss. Now this is not the case with runner vision. One of the biggest complaints against the first Mirror's Edge was that navigating the game world was a painful affair. Unfortunately, it appears to be let down by a cookie-cutter approach, inline with what we've seen from Ubisoft of late. When you consider how linear the original game was, this comes across a at least an attempt to instil a sense of variety. You'll drop off items, best your parkour timings, and indulge in all sorts of side-quests that wouldn't be out of place in Far Cry or Assassin's Creed. Much like almost every big budget console and PC game this generation, Mirror's Edge Catalyst is an open-world game. Keep your expectations suitably low or non-existent in this department. With cheesy lines and some distinctly unlikeable characters such as fellow runner Icarus, your foster father slash employer slash oddball love interest Noah, or the clingy Nomad, it's almost as annoying as 2015's Need for Speed if not more so. While we're only a few hours in and aren't able to completely judge the game's plot, the dialogue seems like it was tacked on as an after thought. Hopefully it looks better on the PS4 and PC. The long loading times in excess of 20 seconds at times don't do it any favours either. It's most inconsistent about character faces, as some look distinctively current generation while others look on par with what you'd expect from a game running Unreal Engine in 2001. While it holds a steady frame rate, there's an abundance of jagged edges and low resolution textures. Using the same tech that powers Battlefield and Need for Speed, you'd think that Catalyst would be quite the looker.
