One of the years scariest and most engrossing horror games is clawing its way to a new console. SFB Games Crow Country will launch on the Nintendo Switch on October 16. Crow Country may look like a cheerier, grainier Animal Crossing but that just adds to the horror adventures creepy and dark atmosphere. You play as Mara Forest, a plucky young woman exploring the remains of an abandoned amusement park called Crow Country. Its owner Edward Crow mysteriously disappeared in his park and has been missing for two years. Its up to Mara to uncover the mysteries behind the abandoned theme park and its long lost owner. Engadgets Cheyenne MacDonald reviewed the game back in May and highlighted that it drew some inspiration from the aesthetics and horrific monsters of horror games on Sonys first Playstation like Resident Evil and Silent Hill. She also described the game as cozy, an odd word to describe a horror game. Crow Countrys cozy nature adds to the horror by taking familiar seeming characters and putting them in the Lovecraft-ian atmosphere of terror and mystery. Its so good that it even made our list of the best horror games of the year. Crow Country is also available on Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox X/S.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/nintendo/the-creepy-crow-country-is-coming-to-nintendo-switch-on-october-16-215954902.html?src=rss

Tesla's least expensive car is off the market: the Model 3 Standard Range Rear-Wheel Drive is no longer available in the online configurator. Electrek first reported on the absence of that Model 3 build. It was the cheapest option from the electric vehicle brand with a price tag of $39,000. Now the Model 3 Long-Range Rear-Wheel Drive takes that title with a retail price of $42,500. Tesla unveiled a refresh to its Model 3 line in the US in January. The company also posted numbers for the third quarter today, with 462,890 vehicles delivered between July and September. Sales were aided by price cuts and other incentives during the quarter, enough to reach a 6.4 percent increase from the previous year's deliveries. However, the figure fell short of analysts' predictions for more than 469,000 deliveries during the period. This quarterly result could also hamper CEO Elon Musk's projections for the company to surpass the 1.8 million vehicles it handed over in all of 2023. Tesla has also been struggling with recalls this year. Most of those issues were fixed with over-the-air updates, but the scope and number of the issues may also be leaving customers with doubts. Recalls impacted 200,000 vehicles in January, 2 million in February, 125,000 in May, 12,000 in June, 1.8 million in July, and more than 9,000 in August.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/transportation/evs/tesla-has-stopped-selling-its-cheapest-car-212756966.html?src=rss

In a bid to encourage more sustainable urban mobility, a UK municipality is testing an innovative traffic light system that gives priority to cyclists. The trial uses AI-powered sensors to detect approaching riders and automatically adjust signal timings in their favor. The system, installed on the A34 Stratford Road, near Blythe Valley, where a cycle lane crosses a highway, employs video cameras and artificial intelligence to identify cyclists from up to 30 meters away.As bikes approach, the lights for motorists turn red, while cyclists are given a green signal. By removing stops and starts, cycling becomes more appealing and efficient, potentially leading to fewer car trips, reduced traffic congestion and improved air quality. While the Stratford Road pilot prioritizes people on bikes, the lights can be programmed to favor different user groups based on time of day or a location's specific needs, and can adapt as urban mobility patterns evolve. The technology used here is by VivaCity; ViNotion developed a similar model that's being rolled out in various municipalities in the Netherlands.Traffic management has long prioritized cars. Improving flow for cyclists and pedestrians represents a shift towards urban planning that is both more human-centric and more aligned with sustainability goals. If successful, these systems could accelerate the adoption of cycling as a primary mode of transit. And inject a bit of AI magic into people's daily commutes
