E3 2020 registration opens February 15 at 11AM ET
[ad_1] Be sure to temper your expectations accordingly. It’s no secret that Sony won’t be there, for instance. While you may see PlayStation 5 games, the odds aren’t great of seeing first-party titles or any big hardware news. Microsoft is expected to use E3 for a splashy Xbox Series X preview, but you probably won’t […]
Samsung makes too damn many phones
[ad_1] At the same time, Samsung broke tradition. Instead of phasing out last year’s flagships, it’s cutting the prices for the S10s, so they now start at $599 instead of $899.99. That means you can continue to buy the S10e, S10 and S10+, which are still great phones. In fact, the company’s Senior Manager of […]
We’re all kinda fine with DRM now
[ad_1] In heated Twitter threads and editorials about the newest and most controversial gaming platforms around, the DRM-free bit of NVIDIA’s news seemed to barely register with fans. A feature that would’ve made headlines in 2010 is often relegated to a single sentence at the base of the inverted pyramid, or not mentioned at all. […]
Microsoft’s Project xCloud preview extends to iOS devices
[ad_1] With this being a TestFlight beta, there are a couple of things to keep in mind. The first is that the preview is limited to 10,000 individuals, so there’s a good chance you won’t be able to check out the app even if you register right away. At the moment, the beta is also […]
‘Harriet’ star Cynthia Erivo’s sci-fi podcast is becoming a movie
[ad_1] Blank is writing and directing the movie. There’s no mention of when Carrier might arrive, or whether it’s destined for theaters or streaming services. Still, it could go a long way toward raising the profile of podcasts if it’s successful. While podcasts are big deals in their own right, a movie with a famous […]
‘Prince of Persia’ is coming back as a VR escape room
[ad_1] The escape room will be available this spring in over 300 escape rooms around the world, including in many parts of Europe and North America. This isn’t Ubisoft’s first escape room (it already has Escape the Lost Pyramid and Beyond Medusa’s Gate), but it is the first that isn’t based on an Assassin’s Creed […]
Hyundai will make cheap EVs based on Canoo’s subscription pods
[ad_1] The partnership focuses on Canoo’s (relatively) unique skateboard design, which utilizes a pared-back approach to EV building. Each component serves multiple purposes, meaning the platform is smaller and lighter than traditional EV platforms, which means lower prices. The skateboard base is a self-contained unit that can be paired with any cabin design, although the […]
‘Apollo 13’ returns to theaters for three days in April
[ad_1] These re-releases are often marketing ploys, but it’s fun to be able to see classic movies on the big screen, so it’s hard to complain. Apollo 13 is notable for the extent to which the cast and crew went in order to accurately recreate the mission. While some elements — like the line, “Houston, […]
MWC 2020 is cancelled due to coronavirus concerns
[ad_1] According to Bloomberg, the GSMA said the coronavirus outbreak has made it “impossible” to host the event as planned. Last year, more than 100,000 people attended MWC. Many of those individuals were either based in China or worked for Chinese companies. The coronavirus has hit China hardest of all. As of this week, the […]
