Everything We Know About ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’

0

Since the end of Spider-Man: Far from Home, MCU followers have been eagerly awaiting the next chapter in Tom Holland’s Spidey’s adventures. At the start, it kind of looked that MCU has currently no plans for a new Spiderman movie, thanks to the never-ending disputes between MCU and Sony.  But now the night has settled and Sun has risen in all its glory for MCU fans.

Here’s all we know about the highly anticipated Spider-Man: No Way Home movie. So sit back and enjoy the ride.

Do We Have A Release Date?

As of writing, the latest installment in the MCU’s Spiderman saga is slated to grace our screens on December 17th, 2021.  This date appears to be solid but can be subject to delay as the epidemic continues to shift release schedules.

Spider-Man: No Way Home Trailer

Spider-Man: No Way Home thoroughly encompasses the idea of the multiverse. New York is at unrest thanks to Dr. strange and Peter’s shenanigans in the first teaser trailer. As the first trailer unveils that the world is no stranger to Spiderman’s real identity as we get a glimpse of what it’s like for him to grapple with what it takes to be a hero.

Our friendly neighborhood Spiderman appears to brawl with Sorcerer’s Supreme while New York falls apart as the building shrinks in an Inception-like manner. As Marvel had already opened its door to the multiverse with Loki, No Way Home will also have tons of unexpected multiverse twists to unravel when it premieres in theatres on December 17th.

Our Heroes

Once again, Tom Holland returns to the big screen as Spider-Man. In addition to Holland, The greatest Showman famed Zenday also reprises her role as Peter’s sweetheart MJ; along with Marisa Tomei as Aunt May, Jacob Batalon as Ned Leeds, and Tony Revolori as Peter’s rival and Spidey’s super-fan Flash Thompson. J.K. Simmons, who portrayed J. Jonah Jameson, is also quite likely to return.

This time around to fix all his problems in one go, Peter Parker is likely to visit the Sanctum Sanctorum. Benedict Cumberbatch will also return as Doctor Strange as the sorcerer’s supreme and Spidey’s mentor, the role previously lived by Nick Fury and Tony Stark.

Our Villains

This is where things begin to get more serious. It has been established that Jamie Foxx will take his spot as Electro from Sony’s Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Alfred Molina will keep his place as Dr. Octopus from Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2. It’s true that the titles of both of those characters are from prior and separate continuity, all credit goes to the multiverse.

In other words, are they portraying other lives of the same characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Perhaps then the multiverse is in turmoil and the advent of Dr. Strange too suggests that multiverse madness is in full swing. A new picture from Spider-Man: No Way Home exposes just how trapped our young Peter Parker is with Doctor Octopus… literally.

There have been no updates regarding Vulture and Mysterio. However, Michael Keaton’s revival as The Vulture and Jake Gyllenhaal’s return as Mysterio would not be out of the question, since Sinister Six is only 2 evils away from completion.

Tell Us A Bit More About The Plot?

During Far From Home post-credits sequences, Peter Parker was exposed as the friendly neighborhood Spiderman. Mysterio pulls his final card and turned the entire city of London against Spiderman alleging that it was spiderman who attacked him and destroyed half of London.

In the follow-up, Peter will confront masses of people, a danger to his friends and family, and being detained by authorities for interrogation about his suspected complicity in the London terrorist incident and Mysterio’s demise.

There will be tons of plot-twist and unexpected arrivals in the forthcoming film and will keep you up to date with all the latest revelations that come every now and then.

 

 

Money Heist Season 5 Part 2 Official Trailer and Release Date

0

There was a ton of action throughout the first half of the fifth season of Money Heist, but a new trailer suggests that the second half will be more somber. The trailer starts simple with the Dali gang still making the sense of Tokyo’s death, but then things start to get crazy. The Professor’s safe house is unearthed by the police; his bank is raided by armed officers, and robbers appear to have been caught.

From what I gathered so far, Professor and his band of misfits might not be able to gateway this time, but who knows professor has a plan for everything. Netflix has released a slew of new images to fuel the wait until the second half of the final season airs.

If you’ve already binge-watched the first five episodes and are up to date on the Money Heist season five, part one finale, read on to know everything there is to know about Money Heist season five, part two, along with the official release, cast, and the latest trailer.

Money Heist Part 2 Trailer

Diwali has shown up early for Money Heist fanatics. Netflix released the full trailer for the Spanish series season 5 “Volume 2” Wednesday on Diwali Eve.

Here’s the trailer for the same:

Money Heist Season 5 Volume 2 Premier date

Binge-watcher around the world will be left stunned by the bombshell finale to season 5 that aired worldwide on Friday 3rd September. Since the latest batch of episodes is only a few weeks away, viewers won’t have to wait forever to witness how this grand crime saga will conclude. The final volume of Money Heist season 5 is slated to land on Netflix on December 3rd. The Streaming giant unveiled the big news with a teaser and a tweet for the series’s stunning finale.

First revealed in 2020, the fifth season of Money Heist came as no shock after the fourth installment swept Netflix’s top 10 lists around the world when it debuted in January 2017. Netflix has revealed that filming on the fifth season of Money Heist finished in May 2021, with the quote

“Thank you to all the fans for being part of La Resistencia! We can’t wait to show you how this story ends.”

Money Heist Season 5 Volume 2 Cast

In addition to Herrán, Corberó, Morte, Nimri, Serna, Perić, and Ituño, Money Heist season 5 cast features Jaime Lorente as Denver, Pedro Alonso as Berlin, Hovik Keuchkerian as Bogota, Esther Acebo as Stockholm, Belén Cuesta as Manila, Luka Peros as Marseille, Enrique Arce as Arturo, José Manuel Poga as Gandía, and Fernando Cayo as Coronel Tamayo.

The fresh faces include Miguel Ángel Silvestre as Tokyo’s ex-sweetheart René, Patrick Criado as Berlin’s son Rafael, and José Manuel Seda as army chief Sagasta.

The Cast Are Saying Their Goodbyes

The ensemble of Money Heist has already begun bidding farewell on social media with the fifth season being the final.
On Instagram, Pedro Alonso, the actor who portrays Berlin, paid homage to the role. Pedro shared a post captioned

“I made the sketch a while before shooting the sequence. I sent it to my co-captain. She replied ‘it’s a bit creepy and also ‘but I like animals.’ “It’s funny, then when I shot my shots of the sequence, my little brother told me ‘now yes, now I see that something disturbing in your eyes’.
“It’s funny. For me, it was about love. And perhaps also a strange message for a future time, when it will be time to inspect the wound. Almost for the character, but also for the actor. I know it may sound a bit strange.
“Sooner or later that moment comes. It always comes. The one when it’s time to go to the end of what we don’t know. Or we don’t want to know.
“And in my opinion, it is not bad. Although it does make an impression. As does true love and life itself. So chilling at times, but certainly so beautiful.

Money Heist enjoyed a very special place in our hearts but everything ends one day and now the same goes for the show. Tell us about your favorite moments from the show in the comment section.

Samsung Galaxy S22: Release Date Rumors, Price and Leaks

0

Samsung’s Galaxy S21 hit the stores in early January so, we’re not too far away from welcoming their successors. However, nothing has been officially announced, there’s been a myriad of idle speculation regarding the Galaxy s22 series, which are expected to include the Galaxy S22 (the original), S22+ (the upgraded version), and S22 Ultra.

If you’re fed up with your old iPhone and want to switch to android, the upcoming Galaxy S22 series might be the best choice you’ll ever make. With all that said, here’s everything we know about the Samsung Galaxy S22 & S22+ series.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Release Date Rumors

The Samsung Galaxy S22 is expected to be released in early 2022. According to a new source, the Galaxy S22 will be unveiled on February 28, 2022, just in time for MWC 2022. For those who’re not familiar with the term MWC (Mobile World Congress) is a virtual event hosted by Samsung every year.

The Galaxy S21 was released in January, which was a month earlier than scheduled. However, the Galaxy S22 may be delayed in order to make room for the anticipated Samsung Galaxy S21 FE, which itself is expected to be released in January.
According to a separate rumor from WinFuture, parts for the Galaxy S22 series have undergone mass production since early November, thus the phone might be released sooner than expected.

 

Samsung Galaxy S22 Series Price

We haven’t heard any pricing speculations for the Galaxy S22 yet, but we expect Samsung to uphold the costs similar to the  Galaxy S21 line. All three models have been cut by $200, and we don’t anticipate prices to soar again.

If Samsung maintains its current pricing, the Galaxy S22 will be priced at $799, the Galaxy S22 Plus at $999, and the Galaxy S22 Ultra would cost $1,199. It’ll be fascinating to see if Samsung releases a cheaper Galaxy S21 FE from now to the launch of the S22, although there’s a report that the S21 FE might be delayed owing to a worldwide chip shortage.

What Can We Expect?

The Galaxy Series is well known for their surprising specs, so let’s see what the tech giant is blessing us with now:

Design

The Samsung Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22 Plus are expected to appear identical to their predecessors, with the S22 Ultra speculated to have a more angular design akin to the Galaxy Note series.

 

According to a leak,  Galaxy S22 Plus, and Galaxy S22  will be available to order, in white, black, rose gold, and green, while the Galaxy S22 Ultra will come in white, black, dark red, and green.

Display

The Samsung Galaxy S22 is expected to fir a 6.06-inch display, while the S22 Plus will have a 6.55-inch screen and the S22 Ultra will surpass its counterparts with a 6.81-inch display. All three versions are likely to boast a 120Hz refresh rate, although the lesser two will likely have FHD+ resolutions while the Ultra will have QHD+ resolutions.

Camera & Specs

The Samsung Galaxy S22 and S22 plus have been expected to feature 50MP primary cameras, 12MP ultra-wide cameras, and 12MP telephoto cameras. The Ultra’s camera configuration is less apparent, however, it might have a 108MP primary camera, a 12MP ultra-wide camera, and two 12MP telephoto cameras.

Expect either the Exynos 2200 or Snapdragon 898 chipset depending on the location, partnered with the identical storage and RAM capacities as Galaxy S21 Series. That means the Galaxy Ultra version will feature up to 512 GB storage and 16GB of RAM, while the other variants have up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.

Battery

According to leaks, the S21 will have a 3,700mAh battery, the S21 Plus will fit a 4,500mAh, and the S21 Ultra will make your experience exceptional with 5,000mAh. Except for the Ultra, all of these would be slimmer than the S21 batteries. However, the S22 Ultra’s charging speed might be enhanced, potentially to 45W. So sit back and let the games roll in.

eFootball 2022 Launch Delayed to Next Year

0

Konami’s eFootball 1.0 release has been pushed to 2022 and the mobile version of the same has seemingly been postponed indefinitely. The news is based on the newly published blog post from Konami that highlights the present condition of eFootball.

According to IGN, the crew needs a bit more time to foster the 1.0 patch and rectify errors that currently exist in the current “demo” version of the game.

“We would like to inform you that the v1.0.0 update for eFootball 2022, scheduled to be released on November 11, 2021, has been postponed until Spring 2022,” the blog post reads. “Also, we would like to announce the cancellation and automatic refunds of eFootball 2022 Premium Player Pack, which includes items that can only be used in-game after the v1.0.0 update.”

Konami claims it has been trying hard on delivering a patch that would include fresh content to the title, along with a new model for the series where gamers may “enhance and compete with an original team,” as well as mobile versions. Those mobile versions, on the other hand, appear to be on hold forever.

The post reads “Unfortunately, we have concluded that more time is needed to deliver the product in the quality that will meet the expectations of our users and have decided to postpone the delivery.”

Meanwhile, Konami says v0.9.1 will be released today to “address several bugs sequentially on every platform,” and that it will continue to evolve and upgrade eFootball 2022 over time. More information and updates on the mobile versions will be revealed soon.

Konami has also taken eFootball’s contentious premium player pack off the market (its contents require the v1.0.0. upgrade to function), and all pre-orders will be promptly refunded.

The title launched in an exclusive demo with 1V1 matches in challenge and 1v1 against CPU being the only playable modes. The debut was so disastrous that eFootball went down in history as one of the worst-reviewed videogame ever on Steam.

After the pre-order has been revoked, users who pre-ordered it on Xbox or Pc will have to re-download eFootball 2022. This is not the case with Steam. Existing play data, including GPs, gained, records of accomplished events, and outcomes of ranked matches, should not be affected if users employ the same account. Konami asserted “We apologize for the inconvenience.”

“Please understand that we have made this choice to make sure that your experience with eFootball 2022 for mobile is the best one possible. To this end, all of us are fully committed to work on both the mobile and console versions to improve the gaming experience for everyone. “We promise this wait will be worth it, so please continue giving us your kind support for eFootball PES 2021 and eFootball 2022.”

Prior to the launch, Konami announced that the first beta update would include Creative Teams, which harkens back to PES’ myClub style, new player types ( Trending, Featured, Legendary, and Standard) loot boxes, and a plethora of latest modes such as Tour Event, eFootball Creative League, Online Quick Match, Online Match Lobby modes, and Challenge Event.

Konami was also chastised for marketing a £33 premium player package for eFootball that wasn’t available until November. This premium player package was supposed to provide gamers with “chance deal stuff” (loot boxes, effectively).

Google Pixel Fold: Expected Release Date, Price, Specs And More

0

Much awaited and hyped- Google Pixel Fold is already a hot topic, while the official website teases us with less information with each tech update. For all, we know the newly baked product will be released somewhat around the month of November. However, the date is not released yet. Our intuition tells us that the model will be released on the 15th of November, although it just might soon. 

Up until then to curb our ever-increasing anxiety, let’s get a little more curious and know more about the product. 

Also read: Google’s Pixel 4 & Pixel 4 XL | Everything You Need to Know! 

Google Pixel Fold: What’s New? 

It’s a smartphone, has a screen, has a camera, so what’s new? Well, we have seen a lot of Pixel to date, and everyone quite appreciates the genuine google android. Google Pixel camera is all that it’s known for, though, and it’s staying the same. But, no one ever had a Pixel and it folds! What? We say, isn’t it obvious by the name? 

Jokes apart, let’s dive deep into the specifications of the New Google Pixel Fold

Google Pixel Fold Specifications

  • Screen Size – It is generally a big screen with 7.6 inches 
  • Screen Resolution – 1768 * 2208
  • Pixel Density – 373
  • Screen Type – OLED
  • RAM – Google Pixel Fold comes with a memory of 8 GB
  • ROM – Google Pixel Fold has a storage of up to 128 GB
  • Battery –  The battery in this model is 4500 mAh
  • Battery Type – Li-Polymer
  • Camera – Single; 12 MP; Ultrawide in-built; HDR
  • Processor – Qualcomm Snapdragon 888
  • Android – Android Version 11
  • Sim – Dual Sim, but one sim has to be an e-sim
  • Connectivity – 3G/4G/5G VoLTE
  • Warranty – 12 months

How Much Will Google Pixel Fold Cost? 

Google Pixel would be comparatively, of a lower cost than the other leading fold-phones in the market. But nothing is for sure, and as we have the information from a source that says that a conjectured amount could lead up to $1600. 

How To Pre-Book Google Pixel Fold? 

There is no news regarding pre-booking the Google Pixel Fold. In the recent event, the company let out a lot of things but stayed so secretive about the Google Pixel Fold. Well, it’s understandable as it could aggressively dump the sales of Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. However, this will soon reach our ears and as we do, you’ll be the first to know.

Is Google Pixel Fold Real? 

To be honest, we have less idea about it, because the company is working on its latest update of Android, namely Android 12L. It’s safe to assume that the ‘L’ in there, stands for large and that Android 12L is specially curated for larger screens. Large Screens include tablets and these days, the fold screens. So to say it out loud, that the Google Pixel is yet a rumor is unworthy. Maybe it could get late, and maybe it comes out with an estranged name, but it is for sure that the Pixel will fold. 

It is in much wait, and we have our eyes on it. To each leak, and event you miss, we cover it for you. Here, in this blog post, we uncovered whatever it is for you in Google Pixel Fold to know. Stay tuned for more similar news and updates.

iPhone SE 3 (2022): Release Date, Expected Features, Price and More

0

Apple is about to announce iPhone SE 3 (2022) which is expected to be a powerful 5G Phone but retains the classic design at a never-before-seen price tag. It could be the cheapest 5G iPhone till now.

The iPhone SE series consists of some of the most economical iPhones ever. First launched in 2016, iPhone SE proved to be a great success with its compact design and seamless experience.

Later, Apple released its 2nd edition in 2020 which fans welcomed wholeheartedly. Now, fans are eagerly anticipating the release of the iPhone SE 3. It was earlier rumored to be launched in 2021.

However, the rumors seem to be false. Still, we might already know what to expect from the next iPhone SE model. Let’s take a look at what it is, and when is it coming into the markets.

iPhone SE 3(2022) Release Date- Is it coming in 2021?

Earlier, iPhone SE 3 was heavily rumored to be released in late 2021. However, when Apple only announced the new MacBooks and 3rd Gen AirPods in their last event of 2021, it became clear that the iPhone SE 3 is NOT coming in 2021.

Digitimes reports that Apple may release iPhone 3 sometime in the first half of 2022. It could hold a Sprint event next year just like they did in 2021 to launch a new color option for the iPhone 12.

So, it is safe to say that iPhone SE 3 is definitely coming in 2022, having a compact design with a powerful processor and excellent upgrades.

iPhone SE 3 (2022) Leaked & Expected Features

The successor in the iPhone SE series is expected to feature the powerful Apple A15 Bionic chip with 5G connectivity. The design and dimensions are likely to remain the same with rumors of an additional model having a larger screen launching in 2023.

Just like the iPhone 13 Series, the iPhone SE 3 will also include the Qualcomm Snapdragon X60 5G modem chip, apart from the A15 Bionic chip. The production might hopefully start sometime in December 2021 or January 2022.

The next iPhone SE will likely feature a hole-punch display, along with thin bezels and a flat frame. According to sources, it is going to retain the 4.7 Inch LCD display and will not have an upgrade to OLEDs, unlike the iPhone 13 series.

There also have been mixed reports of the iPhone SE 3 having either face-scanning technology or having a Home button with Touch ID. However, with the expected size of the screen, the latter seems unlikely.

Also, the iPhone SE 3 (2022) will be built on the chassis of the iPhone XR, according to Bloomberg. It is expected to have a single camera at the back but with an upgrade to its predecessor.

iPhone SE 3 (2022) Price- Expected to be the Cheapest 5G iPhone

Apple devices are widely popular for their expensive price tags. However, Apple is expected to counter the stigma with their next iPhone SE. A report from UDN in Taiwan states that the iPhone SE 3 will be the cheapest 5G iPhone in history.

As of now, the cheapest 5G iPhone is the iPhone 12 mini, which costs $699. And, the current iPhone SE comes for $399. Calculating from this, the iPhone SE 3 (2022) could have a price tag of somewhere between $450 to $549.

The price is considering the upgrades Apple is bringing into the iPhone SE series. So, they may also raise the price but it won’t compete with the latest series. However, with the Apple A15 chip, iPhone SE will become the best performing smartphone in its price range.

Will iPhone SE 3 have an additional model?

Till now, Apple has been releasing the SE series as a single model. However, the iPhone SE 3 is rumored to have an additional model that will feature a large 6.1 Inch display. It will also be a hole-punch display, and not the currently seen one with a notch.

This additional model of iPhone SE will likely retain the same features as that of iPhone SE 3 having an A15 Bionic chip and 5G connectivity but with a larger screen. It will also have a slightly higher price tag.

That’s all we know about the next generation iPhone SE so far. If the rumors appear to be true, then the iPhone SE 3 (2022) could be revolutionizing piece in the history of iPhones.

Apple To Not Lift Epic Games Ban On iOS For At Least A Year

0

Apple and Epic Games have been in a legal war for quite some time over disagreements regarding Apple’s cut over App Store purchases. However, this issue escalated quite a bit and disagreements led to a full-fledged lawsuit with no end in sight. This in turn made Apple put a complete ban on Epic Games’ access to Apple built technology including Unreal Engine.

While things do look grim for the general consumer and the devs Apple plans on keeping the ban up for another year. In a recent report, Apple confirmed that it will terminate Epic’s App Developer agreement and would not allow them to re-apply for at least a year. This proves that folks would not be able to play Fortnite on their Apple devices before August 2021 at the very most.

Epic Games on the other hand has in fact file a preliminary injunction though this matter at hand seems to go on forever and is only hurting the lower tier folks and the general consumer base. Assuming no changes occur, Developers wouldn’t be able to access Unreal Engine on Apple devices for at least another year hurting their livelihood. The unreal engine itself plays a key role in App development in many cases and being able to resume work should take utmost priority over such disagreements between corporate organizations.

Sony’s Corporate report for 2020 has gone live on its official website and there are quite a few key points raised in the report itself. Sony over these past few years has shown areas of flexibility allowing more leeway for innovation. The PlayStation platform alone is a fine example of how well the company has evolved, learning from past experiences. The corporate report confirms that Sony would, in fact, be expanding its 1st party titles on PC solely for profitability reasons.

We will explore expanding our 1st party titles to the PC platform,

in order to promote further growth in our profitability.

Sony

Sony’s PlayStation like any other console at the moment was and is considered to be a very closed ecosystem. With very little going on outside its own circle, PlayStation’s player base relies solely on Sony’s efforts with very little third party impact. However, things are starting to change especially in the gaming department. Sony’s been known to lure in players towards its platform by introducing impressive exclusive titles meant solely for the PlayStation. Recently, however, many studios under Sony have gone and released games on the PC platform.

The exclusive Horizon: Zero Dawn is the latest one to be ported on the PC, it is evident that Sony’s gameplan has evolved over time. The PlayStation brand does not aim for a static look rather a more welcoming outlook. With games like Detroit: Become Human and Death Stranding making their way on PC it is clear that we’d be expecting more from the studios behind Sony exclusives.

Recently the company decided to rebrand all its studios under the “PlayStation Studios” branding making it easier for them to operate and clear out their objectives. This could very well help them to expand towards the PC platform as reported.

Apple’s App Store Directly Promotes PUBG Mobile’s New Update On Twitter

0

The ongoing Apple-Epic fiasco at hand is still undecided post formal meetings held in court. As a retaliatory move, Apple completely barred Epic’s Unreal engine access to its hardware. Leaving many developers and coders hanging indefinitely at the moment. While the whole fiasco started from Fortnite, one of the most popular Battle Royale games at the moment. Reportedly, the two companies had a disagreement with the App Store policy suggesting the price cut taken by Apple. Since both the companies took the offensive approach to the whole disagreement, the situation worsened and escalated. Not only were millions of users abruptly blocked from the game but countless developers suffered as Apple seized everything related to Epic Games.

As of today, the official App Store Twitter page has Tweeted a promotional message regarding an upcoming event in PUBG Mobile. Effectively Fortnite’s only major rival in the mobile gaming segment, PUBG Mobile has clearly taken priority for Apple. The Tweet not only promotes the rival title of the game banned on the platform but further proves the fact that Apple currently has no concrete plans on bringing back Fortnite.

As the situation further escalates, many have come in support of Epic Games. The likes of Microsoft filing a public statement in support of at least access to Unreal Engine is something that should help settle the matter. However, there seems to be no end in sight at the moment.

Apple Possibly Testing Picture In Picture Mode For Third-Party Apps On iOS

0

Ever since the release of the iPad Pro, fans and enthusiasts have voiced their opinions about Apple’s iOS software pretty much holding back all this locked up potential. Undeniably, the hardware possessed by the iPad Pro series is something unmatched in the tablet segment. Despite Apple’s efforts to utilize the tablet’s features effectively, the iPad OS lags behind compared to its competition.

The picture in picture mode embraced completely by android devices especially on YouTube is still something Apple users lack. The new update brought Safari’s picture in picture mode for videos streamed yet the UI experience just couldnt match YouTube’s standards. All is not lost though, it seems that Apple is, in fact, testing out these features and could very well implement them on the next iOS update. A recent Tweet by Daniel Yount showcased the Picture in Picture mode working with the YouTube app on the iPad Pro.

The feature seemed to kick in during a live stream which could mean that Apple is currently holding experiments allowing playback under specific conditions. The news itself though is evidently positive considering how iOS tends to maintain a very static outlook. Introducing picture in picture mode on YouTube is truly a huge step for third-party apps to utilize all that beefy hardware. Considering how well Microsoft has managed its Surface lineup, Apple still has a long way to go though things do seem to be changing for the better.

PS Plus has evolved quite well over the course of these past few years. Offering a couple of free games for folks to redeem and keep as long as they’ve got an active PS Plus subscription has had many completely locked in its ecosystem.

Apple “Inclined” To Not Block Unreal Engine Development/ Distribution, States Judge

0

The Apple-Epic case itself has escalated more than what anybody might have thought. Both the companies holding on to their strict policies with very little leeway have ended up in a rather tense situation where the other is more than reluctant to back down. What started from direct payments to Epic resulted in Unreal Engine being cut off from state of art Apple hardware.

In a recent hearing about the ongoing case, the arguments made by both the sides were brought to light by Mark Gurman on Twitter. The judge stated that the dispute regarding store policies and app payments are a civil disagreement with no inclination to punish Apple. However, Apple’s move to completely block off Epic’s Unreal Engine is a step too far and that she is Inclined to resume the normal affairs. It is indeed true that the disruption brought on by this latest event hurt not only the executives but even the smallest of developers.

With Microsoft hopping on the bandwagon going upfront with its support towards Epic Games, things are expected to settle down sooner than later however there has been no concrete decision made. The longer it takes for this issue to resolve, the stronger the damage especially to those who make a living out of app production on iOS. All we know for now is that Apple’s Retaliatory move has brought major concern for Epic Games and the fact remains that Apple’s store policies are not to be meddled with. For a company that holds extreme pride in its closed system, there’s very little room for changes and that is clearly reflected on this whole fiasco.

Speculation On Nintendo’s Next Console Begin As We Near Almost 4 Years Of Nintendo Switch

Nintendo Switch was first introduced in 2017 with a rather unique approach to the modern gaming industry. Prioritizing portable play and ease of access over raw power, the console gained popularity over time thanks to its versatile library filled with exclusive titles. As we near the console’s 4th-anniversary fan theories and speculation about the next Nintendo console have already started to pop up. While Sony and Microsoft did go for a mid-generation refresh with beefier specs and certain additional features, Nintendo doesn’t seem to have that sort of issue at hand. The whole gameplan for the Japanese company relies solely on its consumer base and the release of first-party titles.

Inviting folks regardless of their background to its own platform, Nintendo seems to thrive in making new customers and it does so by producing interactive, fun and addictive games fit for all ages. A recent Tweet by Takashi Mochizuki states that the word “Switch Pro” never came up in his stories all this time. Be it trivial, the information itself makes up more than enough to hint a new console being introduced most likely next year.

With a veteran video game analyst Daniel Ahmad replying with “Switch U” on the matter we could very well be looking at a mid-generation refresh from Nintendo. The new updated console could very well come with beefier specs and enough horsepower to expand through AAA titles. Not much is to go on here however now is certainly the time to start speculating about the next Nintendo console.

Ghost of Tsushima Sets A New Record For Fastest Selling Digital Game On The PS4

Ghost of Tsushima, one of PS4’s two end-of-generation exclusives released this year proved to be a major success for Sucker Punch and for Sony as a whole. The studio despite no prior experience in the genre provided a spectacular, mature and detailed experience for enthusiasts longing for a samurai game since forever.

The game itself has been doing quite well with its opening sales breaking all sorts of records especially in Japan where the story originates from. July’s numbers have made their way on the internet courtesy of folks over at Super Data. The newest report more specifically the newest IP report of the game confirms over 1.9 million units of the game were sold digitally just last month matching Horizon Zero Dawn’s record after two months of its launch. Overtaking various exclusive titles like Days Gone and Last of Us Part 2 whom many considered the epitome of PS4 at their respective launches.

Moreover, the recent COVID-19 pandemic has clearly minimized other methods of purchase forcing many to opt for a digital solution. However, these numbers are more than vital for Sony’s speculation of digital game sales. Considering they’ve gone all out for a completely digital PS5 it is more than likely for them to double down on their online appeal and presence.

Just recently, folks over at Sucker Punch announced a new update featuring a new co-op mode for the game totally separate from Jin’s canon storyline. The update is to make its way this Fall and is sure to bring in more players towards the game.

Microsoft Files Statement In Support Of Epic Game’s Request To Access Latest Apple Hardware

0

The Epic Games and Apple clash has been going on for quite some time now. The game developer’s Unreal Engine was completely shut off from accessing Apple’s hardware due to recent disagreements in terms of Apple Store policies regarding the cut Apple receives from active purchases. This led to more complications with Apple taking drastic measures to remove Epic Game’s top-selling Fortnite from its platform. This resulted in a huge blow to Epic Games and over these past few days, the matter seems to have escalated further.

Microsoft, on the other hand, is clearly opposed to this move by Apple in order to protect its proprietary culture. So far as to file a statement supporting Epic Games is further proof as to what the multi-trillion-dollar company has been doing wrong.

Cutting off Unreal Engine on iOS is undeniably a massive blow to both Epic Games and the gaming community in general. Understandably enough Unreal Engine itself is one of the most popular tools for videogames and app development in general. Making this move is certain to put the iOS community on the back foot restricting innovation holding the dated App Store Policies highest. Apple recently filed a petition for its own game streaming service that proves the fact that the gaming section itself isn’t very much ignored as we may think strengthening the company’s ecosystem lock.

Microsoft’s direct stance is somewhat a tie-breaker definite to bring some sort of end to this clash and to finally resolve the matter at hand. As of now, countless developers are left stranded without access to tools compulsory for development.

Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League Teaser Trailer Revealed

0

DC’s Fandome event revealed quite a few projects scheduled for future releases out of which came the announcement of the Batman Reboot featuring Gotham Knights in a setting where Batman is dead. However, the videogame section didn’t end there. In fact, previous teasers did confirm that we’d be hearing about a Suicide Squad video game and that is exactly what happened.

The first-ever trailer for Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League surfaced today featuring an action-adventure world where desperation has led many to set their hopes on the Suicide Squad and wipe out the corrupted Justice League. The trailer features Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, King Shark in a more carefree and humourous setting however things take an interesting turn when they find out that they’re meant to go against the likes of Superman who has gone rogue.

The visuals themselves look stunning however since it really is an early teaser not much could be said about the final product. Moreover, the game is expected to release in 2022 solely on next-generation platforms giving more leeway to developers as technology progresses. It really is a good time to be a comic-book enthusiast and gamer having games from both Marvel and DC being brought to the bigger platforms. With Spider-Man Miles Morales, Avengers and DC’s current announcements the future looks bright for next-generation consoles.

Crysis Remastered To Feature Ray Tracing For The First Time On Current-Gen Consoles

0

Crysis remastered was recently confirmed by the developers on with up to 8K support on PC. Introducing spectacular visuals and an engaging storyline, the game is indeed a legend that pretty much shaped up our modern-day FPS games. Despite all the craze about the remaster featuring RTX features and 8K textures things don’t just end there.

The latest version of the Crytek engine for the first time would, in fact, render real-time ray tracing on current generation consoles. More specifically on the Xbox One X and the PS4 Pro produced by its own proprietary engine. Active real-time ray tracing has been the talk of these past few years with Nvidia leading the way with its RTX graphics cards. However, the idea of ray tracing was never really expected to be implemented on current generation consoles.

The midterm refreshes clearly pack a punch but being able to handle such features is definitely something to look forward to. The remastered Crysis is set to launch this September 15th featuring a total refresh set to match up to modern standards. It’ll definitely be interesting to see how the Crytek engine matches up over on the Xbox One X and PS4 Pro. Similarly, this could very well mean that folks on PCs could very well take advantage of the proprietary software and enjoy ray tracing. It’ll definitely be interesting to see how it stacks up to Nvidia’s RTX program.
