The upcoming Need for Speed "full reboot" will run at 30fps on Xbox One and PlayStation 4, developer Ghost Games has announced. In a new FAQ, the studio explained that frame rate is "incredibly important" for any driving game, and the new Need for Speed is no different. "We always look to maximize the game technology with the platform technology for the experience we're building, which is why the game will run at 30fps on both Xbox One and PlayStation 4," it said. "By doing this we ensure that your gameplay experience remains incredibly smooth and allows you to experience the high speed, adrenaline fuelled gameplay that you've come to expect from the Need for Speed series." No mention was made of a frame rate for the PC edition, which was recently delayed to 2016. The extra time was necessary, however, to "increase the visuals that we can deliver on PC." Frame rate for Need for Speed was just one detail that Ghost Games confirmed. The studio also said it has no plans for any paid DLC or microtransactions whatsoever. Fans can, however, look forward to "free content updates" throughout the game's lifespan. In addition, Ghost Games reiterated that players will need a constant Internet connection to play Need for Speed. Users won't, however, need a paid Xbox Live Gold or PlayStation Plus subscription to play single-player. But of course, a paid membership is required to take part in multiplayer activities. Ghost Games also said it is currently investigating manual transmission, split-screen, and wheel support for Need for Speed. On the subject of split-screen specifically, the studio explained, "We wanted to maximize the visual fidelity of the game with the focus given to the full-screen experience." Finally, Ghost Games confirmed that players can have up to five cars in their garage at once and that they will not be able to play as police. For more, check out the full FAQ. The Need for Speed release date for Xbox One and PS4 is set for November 3 in North America. A closed beta will be held on consoles in the coming weeks to ensure the game is ready for launch.
The branding gurus are really earning their wages down Redmond way Outlook for the Web's new weather-enabled calendar app 14 5 Aug 2015 at 02:58, Simon Sharwood Fresh from showing glimpses of the next-generation Outlook Web Access client in a preview of Exchange Server 2016 , Microsoft has now detailed just how the new version of the browser-bound Outlook will work. There's a new name for starters: “Outlook Web Access” is now “Outlook on the web”. Those marketers sure are earning their wage! Microsoft saying all the usual stuff about the revision making you more productive. The feature touted as making the greatest contribution to that cause is the new “Action toolbar” that “provides quick access to the most common commands, whether you are clearing out your inbox, replying to an email, or adding an event to your calendar.” One of the things you'll see on the toolbar, depicted below, is the “Sweep” command. That's come from Outlook.com and “provides a simple set of act...
Consumers interested in buying one of Microsoft's Surface tablets will now find it with Windows 10 preinstalled. Microsoft's online page for its lower-cost Surface lineup shows that the tablet now comes with Windows 10 Home edition. The page for the pricier and beefier Surface Pro 3 indicates that they're outfitted with Windows 10 Pro edition. Microsoft has been on a tear to push out Windows 10, partly to make up for the poor response to Windows 8 and partly to get as many Windows users as possible all on the same platform. The company has been offering Windows 10 as a free upgrade to Windows 7 and 8.1 users for the first year. Last Thursday, Microsoft announced that the new OS was running on 14 million devices since its official launch the previous day. Now the challenge is to get PC and tablet makers to outfit their new devices with Windows 10.
