Sony To Skip E3 For The Second Year In A Row

As for the reason, the company said that “the vision of E3 2020 is the right venue for what we are focused on this year”. Unfortunately, the company stopped short of explaining what it meant by that. Up until 2018, the PlayStation name has been part of E3 ever since its first installment. The reason for Sony passing on E3 last year was widely believed to be because the company had nothing new to announce....

Star Wars The Rise Of Skywalker Jj Abrams Took Notes From George Lucas

In a video interview with Entertainment Weekly, chief of Lucasfilm, Kathleen Kennedy said they took a lot of notes from George Lucas during their meeting. And we’re taking the time to really look at where this is going from the standpoint of a saga, not just looking at what the next 3 movies might be. We’re really looking at what is the next decade of storytelling so that we can actually build the mythology....

Star Wars The Rise Of Skywalker Director Says His Plans Were Not Ruined By The Last Jedi

However, in reality, that might not be the case at all. In an interview with The Associated Press (via ET Canada), JJ Abrams mentioned that The Last Jedi did not alter the direction of the story he initially had in mind while making Star Wars: The Force Awakens. I think it’s fair to be disappointed that the legendary characters like Luke Skywalker and Han Solo didn’t receive grand heroic moments before their demises (I personally love how the OT characters are utilised in the new trilogy, but one man’s meat…)....

Steam Halloween Sale Is Now Live Starts Today Until 2 November

In keeping with the theme of horror, hauntings, and spookiness, Steam users will find that many of the discounted games on offer basically fall inside the horror genre. This includes titles like Don’t Starve Together: Hallowed Nights, Dying Light, Left for Dead 2 (which is a perennial favourite), to name a few. Of course, that’s not to say there are no triple A titles that are up for sale at the moment either....

Steam Lunar New Year Sale To Start On 28 January

According to SteamDB, the sale in question will be coming in on 28 January, after taking timezone differences into account. Steam is having its Lunar New Year sale a little earlier than the actual day itself, which starts on 1 February. While SteamDB attributes the source of the date as simply a leak, it’s not unreasonable to think that it came from the same source as before. Since this sale comes less than a month after the last one, which was the Winter Sale, chances are we’ll be seeing very similar deals....

Steam Remote Play Together Goes Live Lets You Invite Friends On Ios And Android Devices

As to how the feature works, Valve explains on its Steam platform that you’ll first need to launch your game (obviously). Once launched, simply access the platform’s Friends List, right-click and chose the “Remote Play Together” option in the tabs. Once the friend in question accepts the invite, you should, in effect, be able to start playing together. At the time of writing, we’ve not been able to test Remote Play Together on either iOS and Android, and as such, it’s difficult to ascertain what sort of network latency we would be getting....

Tales From The Borderlands Sequel Will Be Out This Year

Gearbox Software head Randy Pitchford said during a presentation at PAX East that a new Tales from the Borderlands game will be announced in summer. Or between late June and late September.

There’s not even a trailer for it yet. An all NEW Tales from the Borderlands is coming in 2022 from Gearbox and 2K....

Tech Giants Bow Down To Problematic Indian It Regulations

These new rules require social media companies with over 5 million users in India to enable traceability of end-to-end encrypted messages. Not forgetting the fact that they’re also required to have a chief compliance officer, a nodal contact person, and a grievance officer — all three of whom are required to be residents of India. Twitter originally tried to bypass the rules by appointing an India-based lawyer as their nodal contact person and grievance officer....

Telegram Officially Rolls Out Spoilers Alongside Translation And Message Reactions

Another great feature that is part of the latest update for Telegram is the ability to translate texts from any of the languages available on your operation system. It’s available for all Android phones that support Telegram but for iPhones, this feature requires iOS 15 and newer.

Text String Involving Sindhi Characters Crash Ios Devices

According to 9to5Mac, the bug involves a specific text string in the Sindhi language. When a device with Apple’s mobile OS gets a notification of a text with this specific string, the result is a number of odd behaviours. The device in question could outright crash, or it could suddenly stop responding to touch input.

The Chinese Government Now Focused On Plugging Gaming Playtime Loopholes

According to Reuters, several online trading platforms in China are already offering services that allow youngsters to rent or buy gaming accounts, thus bypassing the country’s video game restrictions and requirements for gaming platforms, to take on a more active role in ensuring that China’s youth “comply” with the rules. Needless to say, it’s a daunting task for these gaming platforms, especially since many of these purchased accounts are technically legitimate....

The Ghost Bride Review A Mostly Mediocre Affair

It doesn’t. It’s fine for what it is and there are some genuine moments of inspired storytelling and visual flair here but the show has become a victim of its own proposed novelty. It’s a painfully predictable tale that relies heavily on setting, elements of Asian mysticism (that does yield occasional esoteric appeal) and its cast of inconsistent quality. The story of The Ghost Bride follows a Malaccan Chinese woman Pan Li Lian as her family enters into a strange agreement to have her married off to the deceased son of the wealthy Lim family....

The Latest Apple Store In Southeast Asia Is A Floating Orb

Despite being its fifth retail outlet in this region and the company’s 512th location, Apple still managed to come out with unique architectural features for the new premise. Located at Marina Bay Sands (MBS), the store is housed in an orb that sits on the waters of the Marina Bay itself and its design was apparently inspired by traditional lanterns. To visit the store, customers can choose to enter via an outdoor elevated walkway or through the underwater tunnel that connects it with the retail section of MBS....
