Sony closes UK PSVR studio before it even released a game

[ad_1] It’s not clear whether the mysterious project has been canned completely, or if it will be picked up elsewhere. The company is certainly running out of UK options, in any case. PlayStation’s Evolution Studios shut down in 2016, and the Cambridge-based Guerrilla followed suit in 2017. The decision may well have been made in […]

Google’s new Assistant speaks a second language: Japanese

[ad_1] According to Android Police, to use Assistant in Japanese, it must be the only language you’ve enabled — you’ll have to disable any other language on your device. Don’t worry, though: you can still activate the voice AI simply by saying “OK, Google” even if you switch to Japanese. It certainly took Google quite […]

2021 Cadillac Escalade packs 38-inches of curved OLED screens and Super Cruise

[ad_1] Autoblog reports that it’s getting a new independent rear suspension setup that’s largely shared with the new Tahoe and Yukon, and although the interior is revamped for Cadillac’s truck, it also shares those trucks’ optional 12.6-inch touchscreens for passengers in the second row.

Samsung iOS app confirms the existence of new Galaxy Buds+

[ad_1] Samsung’s Galaxy Buds+ are very, very real. A listing for the Samsung Galaxy Buds+ application (via CNET) has popped up on the Apple App Store as a preview, essentially confirming the updated earbuds’ existence. Unfortunately, the app’s description doesn’t say much about the earbuds other than they’re only compatible with iPhone 7 and newer […]

Drone network provides early warnings for natural disasters

[ad_1] These drone sentries should be relatively inexpensive, costing less than some professional drones. It’s more resilient than some warning systems, too. Where river monitoring stations frequently collapse in floods and other natural catastrophes, the drones can fly above the chaos as long as they have a charge. Unlike many research projects, there’s already a […]

Rockstar Games co-founder Dan Houser is leaving the company

[ad_1] It’s no secret that Houser helped preside over one of the most successful developers in gaming history. Between the Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead games, Rockstar has pulled in massive sales — in some cases thriving with titles that are several years old. Unlike some co-creators of very large studios, though, he still […]

Instagram brought in more money than YouTube in 2019

[ad_1] The site might be more profitable, too. YouTube shares most of its ad revenue with creators, and its video-only focus could mean steeper costs for streaming clips. Facebook has declined to comment on the data. The company hasn’t broken out Instagram’s revenue so far, and at last check hasn’t updated Instagram’s user count beyond […]

LG pulls out of Mobile World Congress over coronavirus concerns

[ad_1] Instead, LG will hold separate events in the “near future” to reveal its batch of 2020 smartphones, which is expected to include a sequel to last year’s ambitious, underwhelming G8 ThinQ. The show, which officially begins on February 24th, played host to over 100,000 attendees last year, many of whom were based in China […]
