At the moment, Veo 2 is limited to two-minute clips at up to 4K resolution a lot more than ChatGPTs 1080p 20-second snippets.

If youre paying for a $200 ChatGPT Pro plan, thats 500 videos per month, while the Plus plan caps at 50 videos at 720p and only five seconds.

Apple AirTag packs are on sale at Amazon right now, and you can get a bundle of four for just $68. That's the lowest we've see the four-pack go for on the e-commerce website at $2 less than the previous all-time low. It's a great chance to grab a bunch of the tracking devices in one go, especially if you have a lot of bags, belongings and maybe even pets that you want to keep an eye on. If you get a single AirTag from Apple's website, it will cost you $29. With this deal, one AirTag will only set you back $17. AirTags are easily one of the best Bluetooth trackers you can buy today, especially if you're an iOS user setting them up and connecting them to your account is pretty much a one-tap affair. The Find My network is vast, what with all the iPhones and AirTags already out there, helping you find a belonging that you're tracking if you lose it. When you're looking for an item, you can play a sound on the AirTag's built-in speaker from your iPhone to help you find it. If you have a newer phone, the AirTag's Ultra Wideband technology can even lead you right to it if it's nearby. You'll be able to see exactly how far you are from the tag, and you'll get directions on your device's screen. Take note that since AirTags are round, coin-like objects with no way to attach to an item on their own, you'll have to get accessories to be able to use them as keychains or to attach them to your pets' collars.

Despelote is heading to Switch, PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC on May 1. Despelote is a super stylish soccer game that's secretly about life in the Ecuadorian city of Quito in 2001, and it comes from local developers Julián Cordero and Sebastián Valbuena, and published by Panic. You play as 8-year-old Julián, and spend your time kicking the ball, meeting people and exploring life during Ecuador's economic recovery just ahead of the unifying 2002 World Cup. The in-game city comprises actual photographs of places around Quito, but the backgrounds are covered in a layer of high-contrast grit, while people and the soccer ball stand out as stark line drawings. The audio was recorded on location, too, and the result is a game that looks and sounds like a soothing memory. Despelote was announced in 2023 and originally due to land in 2024, but it now has a firm date of May 1. It's already picked up a handful of accolades, including four nominations at the 2025 Independent Games Festival. There's a demo on Steam, if you're intrigued.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/slice-of-life-soccer-game-despelote-kicks-off-on-may-1-234256915.html?src=rss
