LOS ANGELES—The first Rage didn’t generate much buzz amongst fans of first-person shooters when it shipped in 2010, but one of id Software’s later titles (the 2016 Doom reboot) made a big splash. With Rage 2, publisher Bethesda is hoping that some of the post-Doom goodwill can elevate this low-profile franchise to popularity.
The publisher partnered id’s FPS veterans with Avalanche Studios (Just Cause, Mad Max) to make this sequel open world. The first game had a veneer that made it look open-world, even though it was just as enclosed as Doom.
I played Rage 2 at Bethesda’s E3 booth this week, and unfortunately I can only judge the id Software side of that partnership. The demo I played was a linear, corridor-crawling action shooter experience with no open-world aspects. When I asked a Bethesda rep why that was, he told me that the company wanted Rage fans to be sure that the gunplay is still just as good even though the game is going open world. I think it’s more likely that the open-world part of the full game (which is slated to launch in spring 2019) just isn’t ready to be played yet.

The two played Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia Organa in the original trilogy, when it was revealed that they were in fact related.
Speaking on US chat show The View yesterday, Hamill revealed how Fisher got protective of her royal status when she heard the news.
Speaking of her gutsy, groundbreaking character, he said: “I thought this is effortless feminism because it’s not hitting it over the head, because she’s no damsel in distress – and as you know, that was Carrie.
“She was funny and she loved being the only woman on set, she loved being called Princess Leia.”
He added: “I used to get on her, ‘you are royalty – you’re Hollywood royalty. Your mom was a movie star your dad was a recording star.’
“I’m strictly middle class, I was the middle of 7, my dad was in the navy.”
Of the moment the twist was revealed, Hamill went on: “So I remember too when they took us aside and said, ‘ok nobody knows but in this episode you’re going to be revealed as brother and sister.
“And we were sort of shocked – and I thought for a minute, ‘wait, if Luke is Leia’s brother – does that make me royalty? And she went, [snapping] ‘NO!’
“I said, ‘all right! I was just asking!’ So possessive of all that. She was adamant – ‘no way!’”
Hamill and Fisher both starred in the recent Star Wars entry Episode 8: The Last Jedi – but following her sad death at the end of 2016, Fisher will not appear in Episode 9.
Rian Johnson, who directed TLJ, said of Fisher’s final performance: “She passed away around New Year.
“We got back after the holiday break and went in the edit room and looked through all of her scenes and had a conversation with [Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy] and the question briefly arose, ‘Do we try and do something? Do we try and manufacture an ending for the character or something?’
“I felt strongly and we decided pretty quickly no, we’re gonna let this performance stand.”
Speaking to Bullseye, he added: “And also because her performance, I thought, was beautiful and I thought that if we did that, we’d have to lose some element of it.
“Whether it was the scene with Luke or the scene at the end with her and Daisy [Ridley] in the Falcon. I want, especially now, I want to leave the movie with Carrie Fisher having told me the words of hope at the end of this movie. I wanted the world to have this performance of hers.”
Star Wars: The Last Jedi is out on Blu-ray and DVD in the UK on April 9.
The parental headache of sibling rivalry begins in childhood. It can carry far beyond those formative years and into adulthood with all kinds of problems years down the road, such as who gets to spend family holidays with the parents each year, family wars over parental estates and decades of competition over who is more successful.
The way to combat against sibling rivalry is to deal with it head on before your second child is even born. You head off the issue before it even begins, by helping them form loving and supportive relationships rather than competitive based relationships.
Helping children forage relationships that are unstoppable rivers of love and support is possible. Every parent dreams of their children having life long lasting relationships that are the greatest support system for one another. The reality is that this can happen, but parents must help facilitate these relationships early on and help the children build love, support, and comradery that can last for a lifetime.
Here are the top 10 tips on thwarting sibling rivalry and instead create loving sibling relationships.
If you had a pet before your first child was born, you probably recall worrying about how your pet would react to the baby. You may have even googled how to best help your dog or cat prepare for the baby to come.
We owned two dogs before our first child was born. I actually bought a book on how to prepare the pet for the new baby. I recall one tip was to have a blanket that the baby used at the hospital to be brought home for the dog to sniff and lay it in the dog’s bed, so the dog can become familiar with the new scent. We actually did this.
Parents go through great measures to make sure that even their pets get along with the new baby and take measures to help facilitate a good start in their relationships, so the family can be harmonious and happy. The same should apply with other children in the home.
When a new sibling is on the way, we need to do more than simply wish and hope that they love the new baby and don’t develop a jealousy complex. Deal with the issue before it even begins. There are some practical ways that you can help your child prepare for their new sibling so that they feel they are part of the process. You want the current child to welcome the new baby so warmly that they feel that the baby is theirs in a way that makes them want to be protective and caring for the new life that is coming into your home soon.
Here are some of those practical tips:
Refer to baby as “our baby” or even “your baby”. We did this with our daughter when we were expecting our twins. She wasn’t quite two years old when they were born and now at six years old she still refers to the twins as hers. It was quite effective in helping her accept them from the start, because they were her babies, not just Mommy or Daddy’s babies.
Let your child touch your belly to feel the baby inside you. Also allow the child to go to ultrasounds where they can see the baby on a screen. It becomes more real and you can create excitement in this experience you have together.
Go to the library or shop for children’s books on the topic of babies and having a new sibling. These can help the child learn more about what Mommy is experiencing, as well as an explanation of what it will be like to have a new baby in the home after they are born.
If they’re old enough, ask for their suggestions, talk about the names you are narrowing it down to, and discuss these things as a family. What a powerful thing for a child to have been a part of the process of naming their new brother or sister! Again, it helps create a sense of ownership with their new sibling on the way.
Allow the child to be a part of creating the nursery, or picking out toys and clothes for the new baby. The more you include them in this process, the more they are going to feel that they are a part of this baby’s new life and feel an ownership or responsibility toward the baby.
It is normal to feel some apprehension or even jealousy. The parental attention is shifting. Babies require a lot of attention. This is why you want to include them in on everything as much as possible. That way they aren’t feel left out and ignored. Their feelings should be expressed in a healthy manner, so having a conversation on their eye level and allowing them to say what they are feeling is very important.
This way they are not separated from the baby and the new experiences that Mom and Dad are having. Instead they are “Second Mommy” as my daughter referred to herself after our twins were born. They were “her twins”, so she wanted to help change them, feed them, rock them, and entertain them.
Of course when young kids are trying to help, their “help” can create more work for the parents at times, but that’s ok. You are supporting good helper attitudes and behaviors that facilitate them connecting with the baby and the activity surrounding the baby all day long.
This will also foster a positive start to their sibling relationship, as they learn early that they are supposed to help one another. Baby can’t help just yet, but will eventually become old enough to some day help older siblings too and you can remind your child of this fact as well.
This does not mean that you do things same for every child in the home. Each child is different and will want different things, but will also need different treatment at times. The key is to maintain a balance of fairness so that the level of attention and monetary spending in equal among all of the children over time. The term for this is equitable. The dictionary defines equitable as:
Characterized by equity or fairness; just and right; fair; reasonable: equitable treatment of all citizens.

Our children need to be treated fairly, reasonably, and in a manner that provides for each of their needs and wants individual; without giving favor to one child over another. Kids don’t need the same gifts for holidays. Instead get the items that each child wants, but spending the same amount on each child. That way children know that even if the items are different, they are being treated fairly, as equals in the family.
There will be times when one child gets to do special things with a parent, the other children in the family may become jealous, so be prepared to explain in advance that their time will come too for this special time. Make sure you follow through and provide that special time for the other children, otherwise resentments can begin to form.
A good example of equitable treatment is bedtime. Children at different ages often require different bedtimes. You enforce the bedtimes equally and the bedtimes are fair for each of their ages. The times are however different because they need to be different for their ages and sleep needs. It is treating them the same even though their times are different.
Children understand fairness. It is innate to them. Keep things fair and you will be less likely to create growing resentments between kids when things aren’t equal. As long as each child is being treated fairly, they will respect your decisions in the long right. Maybe not right away, but over time they will. Fairness is wired into their brains, so try to be as fair as possible to prevent sibling rivalry.
Don’t ever allow your children to think that you have a favorite. I know that many parents think it is sometimes humorous to joke about these things because you do have one child that is perhaps more compliant or certainly easier to parent than the other children.
However, you can’t allow yourself to ever say that you have a favorite because this term is interpreted as love. You child will think “because Daddy said that Charlotte is his favorite today, he loves her more.” That is sad to think your child will feel that they are less loved because of favoritism, but this is simply how they think.
Use the phrase “you are all my favorite” and stick to it permanently. Let them know that they are all loved equally and that your love for each of them is huge.
Minimize comparisons between your children. Each child is unique and special and they should be celebrated for their individuality. Don’t compare the children to one another, because they are simply too different for comparison.
I have twins, and even they can be as different as night and day. One is tender, empathic, and sensitive. The other one is affectionate physically and loves to give me hugs and cuddle. It’s great that they are different and show love and affection differently. I praise them for each of their individual attributes and abilities. It doesn’t make one more special over the other. They are simply different and each of their differences are praised.
Your girl may be the jock and your boy may be the theatre lover. That’s ok. Don’t try to make them something that they are not. They will only resent you for trying to make them something they are not. They will become resentful of their siblings if you try to compare them to their sibling and his/her abilities, passions, or talents.
The sooner you accept your child for who they are and can come alongside them to celebrate their uniqueness the sooner the sibling will also join in with celebrating and supporting their sibling in their interests, hobbies, and passions. The goal is to facilitate support within the family and it begins with the parents as examples first and foremost.
Help your children become each other’s greatest support and cheerleaders. If you have kids that compete in different sports and activities, then make the time to go as a family with the other sibling(s) who are not participating so that you can collectively support each child.
Teach them to support their sibling by encouraging them to say things to their sibling such as “I hope you play great today” or “I am cheering for you to score today”. These things can make such a difference in their lasting relationships when done consistently over time.
It may not come naturally to every child, which is why you may need to be prompting them with ways to help encourage and phrases to say. They will pick it up after a few times (or more) and will begin to encourage because they see that it’s well received by their sibling and it makes you happy as a parent. What you are creating is something even bigger; which is a relationship that is built on support and encouragement.
Friendly competition in the home is a good thing, but keep at just that: friendly. When games are played in the family, children need to be taught to congratulate one another and be of encouragement and not gloating when they are winning and their sibling is on the losing end. Keep reminding them, especially when little, that not everyone can win all the time, so we want to be good sports while winning and losing. When this message is constant in your household, your children will internalize it.
Be sure your children are internalizing the right messages, the ones that draw them into closer and more supportive relationships with their siblings instead of tearing them apart because they are tearing one another down.
I like to remind my kids that I have sisters and brothers that I grew up with and they are now my kids’ aunts and uncles. I talk about the good relationships we had as kids and how we supported one another, like my sister Rachel and I helping one another prepare and compete in scholarship pageants. We were one another’s greatest supporters. I let them know that I grew up with Rachel as my best friend and that she is still my best friend because we had such a good childhood relationship. I then talk to them about how they are so lucky to have one another. Some kids don’t get siblings. They are lucky that they get one another as siblings and best friends for life.
You may call it brainwashing. I call it good parenting. Indoctrinating them with the philosophy that their siblings will be with them to love and support from cradle to grave to love is a blessing over their life.
In our household, apologies are not just “I’m sorry”. The offender needs to say why they are sorry. They need to go to the child they have hurt, say why they are sorry, ask forgiveness, and then give their sibling a hug. On top of that, after the other sibling says “I forgive you,” I make them both say to one another “you are my best friend”. Again, this is a helpful reminder to each or them that they more than just siblings, they are to be life long friends.
Apologizing for the small things as kids teaches them to be more willing to apologize and forgive when much bigger offenses occur when they are grown. If they don’t learn to willingly apologize as children, they won’t be good at apologies as adults. Teaching them this valuable skill will help them be able to mend their relationships when follies between siblings happen as adults.
Parents do not need to be the ones providing all the help, direction, and guidance in the home. Older siblings can help younger siblings. There will be times when the younger siblings can pitch in and help with the older siblings as well.
Teach children to become more dependent on one another instead of running to Mom or Dad every time they need help. This habit of helping one another, when properly instilled in children, can carry forward into adulthood.
The next time one of your littles needs their laces tied or help with putting on their jacket, ask your older child to help the younger. Make it a habit of them helping one another, so eventually it becomes instinctual to them. If Mom or Dad isn’t within view, they will begin to look to their siblings for help.
Be sure to praise your children when they help one another. Letting them know that this is the way that things should be done in the household will help encourage them to continue with this helping behavior.
Make it a positive experience instead of a demand or something they despise. Use pleasant tones when asking them to help their sibling and overly praise them for their help when they first begin. They will come to find satisfaction in helping and the reward of knowing they are doing something good and meaningful for someone else in the household will keep them helping in the future. It will also give them a sense of confidence in their ability to help and a greater sense of belongingness in the family as they are needed by others.
Words can hurt to the core. They can do more damage than physical harm. Do not allow your children to get in the habit of calling one another names or picking on one another. It should be household rules that no warning is even needed when this rule is not followed. If a parent hears language that is hateful or tears down another in the family, there is immediate consequence. They will learn quickly that mean words are not tolerated in the home.
Start this policy when they are young, because the older they get the meaner and smarter they can get. Prevent it from escalating in the future to bigger, meaner, and more targeted hateful talk.
Teach them to talk to one another with positive and uplifting words. If they have a habit of saying mean things, then turn it around. Make dinner time an opportunity for everyone to go around the table and say a compliment about the person on their left and then to the person on their right. It helps to create kinder hearts and minds when positive words are spoken aloud to one another.
Make it happen, even if it has to be done as a planned activity around the dinner table or during a car ride. It will create a lasting effect on their heart to hear positive words from their siblings.
If your kids come to you for every tiny infraction they inflict on one another, then they are not actively resolving their own conflicts. Teach them how to think about how they want to solve their problems with one another. They can learn to negotiate their sides and come to a fair resolution.
It won’t happen overnight, but with some parental help in getting them started in this process of conflict resolution thinking, they will soon learn to do it on their own. There are times when it is a safety issue and parental intervention is needed, but over time you will come to find that many of the small fights and arguments that your kids have all day long can be handled amongst themselves if they are properly instructed how to handle these situations.
Give them some practice help by providing options of two good ways to handle the situation and let them chose how to handle it between the two good options. This gives them the opportunity to think about the consequences and what resolution works best. For example, if my son comes to me and says his brother took his toy I can say, “how would you like to resolve the situation? Should we put the toy up for the rest of the day or should you take turns playing with the toy?”
Allowing them to decide the resolution will help prepare them for the next step which is thinking of their own possible solutions, which they can negotiate amongst themselves. It is a process of empowering your children to solve their conflicts with one another, so that you don’t have to be the go-between on every trivial matter in the household.
Someday you will be thankful you taught them to work things out for themselves, so that you aren’t getting calls to intervene in adult arguments because they don’t know how to deal with one another as adults because they never learned as kids.
Above all, teach your kids to love one another. Teach by example by showing love to everyone in the household.
Love is about respect, fairness, kindness, care, and commitment to being there for one another.
Teaching them to love one another before the second child is even born will create an environment of care and affection that can last a lifetime. It is never too late to start, so start these habits today to help facilitate lasting loving relationships between your kids.

H&M and Facebook/COS
Sibling rivalries are the clothing business’ latest trend.
Increasingly, some of the most popular apparel stores are finding themselves outpaced by the very brands they created.
This week, Racked reported that J.Crew would be bringing its successful sister brand Madewell to some of its stores. Madewell is known for its denim but prides itself on its effortless and timeless clothing that doesn’t chase after fast-fashion trends. While J.Crew has struggled in recent years, Madewell has become one of the company’s sweet spots.
J.Crew isn’t alone. H&M, American Eagle, Abercrombie, and Gap have all increasingly found themselves being outshined by their sister labels, which are helping to boost sales at the parent company overall.
Take a look at some of these stores and their wildly popular sister brands:
Facebook/J.Crew and Madewell
As customers leave J.Crew, citing poor quality and expensive prices, Madewell’s sales are soaring.
Same-store sales have been down at J.Crew for the past three years, dropping by 8% in 2016 following a 10% decrease the year before. In its most recent earnings report, in the third quarter of 2017, sales had dropped by 12%. The company has not yet released its fourth-quarter results.
Meanwhile, Madewell’s same-store sales grew by 5% in 2016 and increased by 10%, 11% and 13% in the first three quarters of 2017.
The company is now rolling out Madewell products in some of its J.Crew stores in an effort to revitalize sales, Racked reported Friday. J.Crew did not immediately respond to Business Insider’s request for comment on the arrangement.
Madewell has been around since 1937. It was founded in New England by Russian immigrant Julius Kivowitz, who originally sold bib overalls, jeans, and dungarees for factory workers and fishermen.
It was acquired by J.Crew in 2006 under the direction of former CEO Mickey Drexler. Drexler set his mind to make it huge and put Somsack Sikhounmuong, who started out at J.Crew, in charge of design in 2013.
“We are cleaning and simplifying, so we’re steering the collection towards the classic, straightforward, and effortlessly sexy design and taking the things Madewell has done best — tomboy pieces, denim, and leather — and giving them a bigger platform,” Sikhounmuong told WhoWhatWear in 2013.
The secret to Madewell’s success has been knowing its customer and not jumping on fast-fashion trends. Its focus is on good-quality, longer-lasting clothing, which historically had a lower price point than at J.Crew.
Drexler said that increasing prices contributed to J.Crew’s downfall.
“We gave a perception of being a higher-priced company than we were — in our catalog, online, and in our general presentation,” Drexler told the Wall Street Journal in May 2017. “Very big mistake.”
Facebook/Gap and Old Navy
Former J.Crew CEO Mickey Drexler, who oversaw the takeover of Madewell, was also responsible for creating another popular sister brand during his time as CEO at Gap Inc.
In 1993, Drexler set up Old Navy as a more budget-conscious store to appeal to low-income shoppers.
Old Navy has become the parent company’s saving grace. While Gap Inc. has struggled in recent years, Old Navy has seen positive same-store sales growth for the past five years.
The store has a cult following of price-conscious customers who choose it over Gap because of its lower prices.
“Maybe there is a little bit of difference [in quality], but not enough that is making me feel like I need to spend more money,” Dana McKay, a 39-year-old mother of two who does all her shopping at Old Navy and has done so since her college days, told Business Insider in May 2017.
Old Navy is better at jumping on trends than its sister brand Gap.
“I wouldn’t call it fast fashion but they are replenishing the merchandise more frequently. You are constantly getting new stuff into the store and it tends to be what the consumer is craving,” Bridget Weishaar, an analyst at Morningstar, told Business Insider.
Old Navy also has an efficient system in place whereby it can trial products in smaller batches in order to see how successful they are before rolling them out on a larger scale, a spokesperson for the brand told Business Insider. This helps the brand to gauge what sells well.
Gap Inc. did not immediately respond to Business Insider’s request for comment.
Facebook/American Eagle and Aerie
American Eagle’s sister brand Aerie has taken the underwear market by storm, winning over the hearts of millennial shoppers with its body-positive ad campaigns.
In the fiscal year of 2016, American Eagle’s same-store sales grew by a modest 1%, while Aerie was up 23% in the same period.
This growth gap defined 2017 as well. Same-store sales at Aerie were up 25%, 26%, and 19% in the first, second, and third quarters of the year. Meanwhile, at American Eagle, same-store sales grew by 1%, 0%, and 1% in the same period.
Aerie’s decision to nix airbrushed ads has paid off and helped sales to skyrocket in the past four years. It’s been an effective way to appeal to customers who favor authenticity over anything else.
Meanwhile, American Eagle has fallen out of favor as there is greater competition among teen and low-cost fashion retailers such as H&M and Forever 21.
American Eagle did not immediately respond to Business Insider’s request for comment.

What It Is: At this point, we’re chasing Toyota rumors to find out more about the upcoming new BMW Z4 and hunting down Z4 odds and ends in the pursuit of educated conjecture re: BMW’s reconstituted Supra. The question on the minds of enthusiasts, however, is twofold: Will the Z4 finally be taken seriously as a sports car, something that plays in the Porsche 718 Boxster’s league rather than the Mercedes-Benz SLC’s? And will the new Supra be a worthy successor to the venerated mile muncher of the 1990s? READ MORE ››

The Aston Martin Valkyrie, the co-production with the Red Bull Racing Formula 1 team, looks set to become the fastest ever production car when it goes on sale. But if that’s not enough, Aston has announced plans for an even more extreme, track-only version.
–

–
It’s dubbed the Valkyrie AMR Pro, and just 25 will be built. Despite a price well into the seven figures and a delivery date sometime in 2020, all have already been sold.
–
As the project’s creative force, Adrian Newey, told us when he first disclosed details of the Valkyrie project, the track-only Valkyrie will have performance to make even its street-legal counterpart look tame. Aston Martin predicts that it will have a top speed close to 250 mph and will be able to sustain cornering forces “in excess of 3.3 g and braking deceleration of more than 3.5 g.” In short, it will be as fast as many a full-fledged racer, with Aston Martin promising that it “will be capable of achieving lap times to rival those of a contemporary F1 or LMP1 car.”
–
Power will come from a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V-12 engine built by Cosworth; it will work in conjunction with an energy recovery system. Although we don’t have output numbers yet, we’re promised that horsepower and torque will exceed those of the road car [pictured below]. Aerodynamic changes include bigger front and rear wing elements and what will be a state-of-the-art active-aero system “tailored for the demands of track driving.”
–

–
Mass is also being pared to sharpen the power-to-weight ratio, with the removal of what Aston describes as extraneous items from the road car, including the HVAC system and the infotainment screens. The windshield will be polycarbonate plastic incorporating heating elements, and the carbon bodywork will be even lighter than the already svelte road car’s. The AMR Pro will also use carbon-fiber suspension control arms and an even lighter (and minimally silenced) exhaust system.
–
–
–
–
–
In short, the entire project is making us regret not being billionaires even more than usual. For the chosen few who will get to own and drive it, this promises to be one of the ultimate automotive experiences. The good news for those with slightly less cash, or slightly less luck at getting selected for Aston’s short lists, is that the company is also planning a mid-engined “son of Valkyrie” supercar.

Don’t be fooled by the half-ton Sierra’s gussied-up image—it’ll upend stumps and tow several tons with ease. Like its General Motors sibling (the Chevrolet Silverado 1500), the Sierra is highly capable and endlessly configurable with a host of potent powertrain pairings. The crown jewel is an optional 6.2-liter V-8 making a class-leading 420 horsepower and towing up to 12,500 pounds when properly equipped; an eight-speed automatic transmission is also available. Every Sierra boasts an excellent infotainment system, which includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The handsome GMC might not be as advanced as the Ford F-150, but it covers the bases in every situation and matches the outstanding Silverado pound for pound. READ MORE ››

Kate and Pippa Middleton’s brother James has split from his girlfriend Donna Air, it’s reported.
The 30-year-old Boomf entrepreneur was last pictured with former Byker Grove actress Donna at Pippa’s wedding back in May.
The couple previously split up last year but rekindled their romance in February.
It may come as a shock to fans of the couple as this time last year James told the Daily Mail he wanted children and was “not scared” of marriage.
During a rare interview, he said: “I love Donna very much and Freya is very much part of Donna, and I love them both equally.
“It’s not ‘Donna’ and ‘Oh, she has a child. That’s not how I’ve ever seen it.
“Marriage is absolutely not something I’m scared of [but it] isn’t necessarily the be all and end all.
“She makes me very happy [and] I think I make her very happy. I want children. I’ve said that before. I will have children, but you’ll have to wait.”
His actress ex-girlfriend has a daughter, Freya, with from a previous relationship with multimillionaire conservationist Damian Aspinall.
The youngster is now 13. Speaking about children, Donna told Fabulous magazine last year she was “open” to having more children too.
She said: “I’m open to more children the same way I’m open to most things.
“I have no set life plan, it can take you in all sorts of directions.”
The pair have been dating on and off since 2013 – two years after the royal wedding where his elder sister Kate married Prince William.
During the royal wedding, James delivered the lesson to the congregation.
It’s unknown how Kate and Pippa will react to their brother’s love-split.
Express.co.uk contacted representatives for both Donna and James regarding this story.
