‘Rainbow Six Siege’ will be ready for PS5 and Xbox Series X at launch

[ad_1] “I can’t give you a date is because those dates are, in the end, on the people doing the next-gen consoles,” said Athanassof. “What I can tell you is that we are going to be on [PS5 and Xbox Series X] from launch.” Ubisoft’s cross-platform compatibility promise for Rainbow Six Siege is in line […]

Redbox debuts a free, ad-backed live TV service

[ad_1] Before you have dreams of dropping your paid TV package, though, you’ll want to tone down your expectations. Much like TiVo’s free TV, you’re not about to find big-name broadcasters. These are niche channels like TMZ, USA Today and FailArmy, plus Redbox’s own selections. These are ‘snackable’ stations that revolve around news, comedy and […]

Rocket Lab will launch a NASA cubesat to the Moon

[ad_1] The tiny satellite (it weighs just 55lbs) will first conduct a navigation demo with the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, but it’s ultimately meant to be a “pathfinder” that will help the Artemis program’s Gateway spacecraft safely approach the Moon. This deal isn’t surprising given the current NASA administration’s privatization efforts. At the same time, it […]

Blizzard’s cancelled ‘StarCraft: Ghost’ leaks in playable form

[ad_1] This isn’t about to make you lament the game’s fate. It looks like standard third-party shooter fare from the early 2000s, just set in the StarCraft universe. You can use your arsenal (including a Ghost’s signature sniper rifle), environmental exploration and a little bit of stealth to help the Terrans survive. The title looks […]

The Galaxy Z Flip’s glass screen isn’t very durable

[ad_1] Nelson went so far as to suggest that Samsung wasn’t using real glass, speculating that it might be a glass-polymer hybrid. This struck him as misleading — if you describe a display as glass, shouldn’t it behave like glass? It may be more complicated than that, however. In a response to Engadget, Samsung reiterated […]

New York AG won’t keep fighting T-Mobile merger with Sprint

[ad_1] The state has been one of the more vocal opponents to the merger, warning that it could reduce competition, hurt quality and raise prices even with sacrifices such as offloading prepaid services to Dish. There’s some precedent for this — past telecom mergers in the US haven’t done much to halt creeping price hikes, […]

Tesla ordered to halt early work on its German Gigafactory

[ad_1] The court cautioned that it “should not be assumed” the Green League’s complaint was going to fail. Campaigners are concerned that wiping out that much forest could have a significant impact on drinking water and wildlife. We’ve asked Tesla for comment. This might only be a temporary setback, but it comes after hundreds-strong protests […]

‘Sonic the Hedgehog’ breaks record for a video game movie debut

[ad_1] Worldwide, the flick has earned about $100 million, with countries like Mexico and the UK showing stronger demand than most. While few would call Sonic a cinematic tour de force, the strong opening suggested that the decision to delay the movie and revamp Sonic’s graphics paid off. If you have gripes with the movie, […]

HBO Max’s first trailer reminds you it has non-HBO titles, too

[ad_1] HBO Max is still a few months away from its May launch, but that isn’t stopping AT&T and WarnerMedia from trying to drum up some early hype.
