Google demos Stadia UI and lists several missing launch features
[ad_1] So many key features will be missing when Stadia first arrives that you have to wonder why Google didn’t push the launch date back a week or two. For instance, your existing Chromecast Ultra will be useless when the first Founders Editions ship. Instead, only the Chromecast Ultras that ship with the the controllers […]
Mark Wahlberg is poised to join the ‘Uncharted’ movie
[ad_1] Besides, there appears to be a history behind the move. Wahlberg was originally slated to play Drake himself years ago, when David O. Russell was expected to direct a more straightforward Uncharted adaptation. He reportedly still wanted in on the movie in some form, and this keeps him involved while acknowledging that time has […]
John Carmack takes a step back at Oculus to work on human-like AI

Adobe Lightroom for iPad and iOS will directly import photos
[ad_1] When you plug an SD card or drive into your Apple device (via dongle, of course), Lightroom will auto-detect the media. You can choose to import files individually or just dump the whole lot of them into your library. Once they’ve been transferred to Lightroom’s library, the app will ask if you want to […]

[ad_1] The preview also includes an easier way to customize your dashboard. Hit the View button on your gamepad and you’ll see a screen that makes it easier to set up your home page the way you prefer. This is a very early release, so it could be a while before this reaches more reliable […]
8BitDo turns the NES gamepad into a mouse
[ad_1] I actually came across this 8BitDo N30 2.4GHz Wireless Mouse at, of all places, TechCrunch Shenzhen earlier today, where the device made its public debut. This is very much like any regular dual-button mouse, except the scroll wheel is replaced by a stealthy touch strip, and the D-pad on the side lets you toggle […]

AMC Games’ first title is the intentionally boring ‘Airplane Mode’
[ad_1] There’s even an in-flight safety video produced by AMC’s IFC channel, in case you need to be reminded how to use the overhead oxygen mask. The title arrives on PCs sometime in 2020 and is available to add to your Steam wishlist. Yes, this is ultimately a commentary more than a game you’d want […]
