'Star Citizen' PC Version Release Date, News: Game's Release Still Uncertain as Creator Talks Development

  For the past few months, there has been little or no official announcements made about the rumored 2016 release of "Star Citizen" PC version, and though there is still no specific release date given, the executive team has something to explain. Given that fans have been requesting for the PC version, it's a little surprising for some that there have been no official discussions recently. However, creator Chris Roberts finally spoke up in a recent interview with BBC , explaining that there is so much more to crowdfunded games than what fans expect. "One of the oxymorons of crowdfunding is you're asking for money to make this game, but you don't know how much money you're going to get. Unless you just want to pocket the rest of the money, which isn't my thing at all; I want to make the best game possible," he explained. The game is one of the most unique titles in the gaming industry, not only because it is a crowdfunded project but t...

Amazing cyberpunk adventures on show in Soul Axiom launch trailer

What is this and why hasn’t it been wired into my cortex already? Soul Axiom releases next week, apparently, so here’s a launch trailer for it. I had only been tangentially aware of the existence of this game until about 5 minutes ago, and now I very much want to put it in my life and love it and raise it as my own. Behold: How does someone manage to sneak a full-fledged first-person cyberpunk adventure past me? I’m slipping in my dotage, I really am. Soul Axiom boasts 15 hours of gameplay during which you’ll explore 40 locations, collecting new powers to solve puzzles and make your way to one of multiple possible endings. You’ll be able to grab it on Steam on February 29, although it’s currently available in Early Access form. By the way, Soul Axiom garnered a bit of attention back in September 2015 when a Wales Interactive staffer claimed a YouTuber asked for $22,000 to provide coverage of the game.

One Piece Burning Blood: Blackbeard Confirmed, New Story Mode Trailer Spoils Character Deaths

There’s plenty of excitement over One Piece: Burning Blood, a fighting game that features characters and locations from the beloved anime. Set in the Marineford arc, Luffy and his crew must face off against Blackbeard in an epic battle, a lot of which may have been spoiled in the video below. Anyone interested in One Piece: Burning Blood may want to avoid the trailer, while those who have already watched the anime or read the manga will already know what happened. There are plenty of explosions, wild techniques and even death, which is surprising to see in a game trailer, though it might be catered to those who are already One Piece fans. Gematsu has confirmed that Marshall D. Teach aka Blackbeard will be one of the playable characters in One Piece: Burning Blood. The villain is showcased well in the trailer below and proves to be a force that won’t be easy to beat. It looks like Luffy and his crew will have their hands full with this guy. Fans of the series will be happy to know t...

Killer Instinct Season 3 Trailer Shows Off Halo’s Arbiter

  After being teased last month, the new trailer for Killer Instinct finally reveals the Arbiter in full as he is the latest character to join the season three roster. Microsoft and Iron Galaxy are gearing up to release the third season of their popular fighting game, Killer Instinct , sometime next month. While there’s still a lot of details that have yet to be released (such as the price point, full roster of characters, and new changes that are coming to the title), a new character has finally been given his own trailer after teasing the Arbiter joining the roster last month at the Killer Instinct World Cup. Thanks to the official Halo YouTube channel, fans are finally able to see just how the Arbiter is going to play in the fighting game. As expected, Arbiter’s stage is the Elite home planet of Sanghelios during its civil war , which players are able to experience in Halo 5: Guardians . Since this is a fighting game centered around melee weapons, Arbiter ...

New ADR1FT Trailer Brings Astronaut Dreams To Life

A new trailer from Three One Zero's upcoming space-survival game, Adr1ft , has been making the rounds around the news sphere. The trailer is mostly an accolades piece highlighting all the celebratory praise that the game has received from many mainstream gaming and tech outlets. PC Gamer picked up on the latest trailer for Adr1ft , which you can check out below.  The game's development is being headed up by the one and only Adam Orth. Some of you might remember him from a few years back as a creative lead under the Microsoft banner who ended up getting engaged in an online Twitter argument with gamers over always-on DRM, telling them to “deal with it” after a hacker named SuperDae leaked news that the Xbox One was going to potentially utilize always-on DRM. Since that explosive Twitter moment that resulted in “Deal with it” becoming a meme within gaming, Orth took a backseat from the spotlight and has kept his head low, working with the rest of Three One Zero on t...

The game is planned for release at some point in 2016 for PC, Mac, Linux, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

'Persona 5' release date rumors: RPG game to come out this summer?

  Fans of the upcoming RPG game titled "Persona 5" have been on the lookout for the official release date of the game. Now, new rumors suggest that it will likely come out this summer. The rumored summer release of "Persona 5" has been circulating online after the Japanese video game retailer Animate shared a photo (below) on their Twitter  handle the poster ad in their store. The poster is a positive indication that the game developer Atlus has hit the ground running for the promotional campaigns of the game. Even though the timeline for the game's release is clearer, the ad could only confirm the release window and not the specific release date of the title. According to Gematsu , in an interview with Dengeki PlayStation magazine, Atlas CEO Naoto Hiraoka said: "In 2015, we were able to develop existing IP like 'Persona 4: Dancing All Night' and 'Etrian Mystery Dungeon.' In 2016, starting with 'Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir,'...

This is how Microsoft is integrating its Android apps into Cyanogen OS

Microsoft announced a deal to  bundle its Android apps on Cyanogen OS last year. The deal includes  deep integration of Microsoft’s Cortana digital assistant, allowing it to replace Google Now functionality. We’ve heard a lot about this partnership, but Cyanogen is now demonstrating exactly how these apps integrate further than normal Android ones. Cortana is voice-activated on Cyanogen, just like it is on Windows Phone, and it allows you to access additional commands like "take a selfie" or "turn on airplane mode" that wouldn’t work on iOS and Android. These are fairly basic additions, but it’s easy to imagine even deeper integration in the browser and elsewhere for Cortana on Cyanogen in the future. Microsoft is demonstrating some of that deeper integration in its Skype and Hyperlapse apps for Cyanogen. Skype is integrated directly into the dialer, so you can make a regular call and switch to Skype just like FaceTime or Skype on Windows Phone. Even O...

Microsoft’s Lumia 650 looks and feels way better than the Lumia 950

abcd Microsoft’s Lumia 950 was bland, uninspired, plasticky, and looked like any other low-end Lumia that Microsoft has been churning out over the past year. The problem was that it wasn’t low-end Lumia, and for its $650 price tag we expected a lot more. Microsoft might not be putting a lot of design effort into its flagship Windows 10 phones, but it’s certainly paying some attention to its latest budget Lumia. Announced last week , the latest Lumia 650 is designed for businesses and priced at just $199. I got a chance to get a closer look at the Lumia 650 at Mobile World Congress today, and for the price point I’m impressed. It looks and feels so much better than the Lumia 950 that it’s stunning that Microsoft didn’t pick this design for its premium handsets. It still has the familiar Lumia design, but the aluminum frame makes it feel far less plasticky and more comfortable to hold. It’s also really lightweight at just 122 grams, and a good size thanks to its 5-inc...

First Trailer for Kanye West Video Game 'Only One' Revealed

The game is based on the artist's song of the same name. Like that track the Only One video game focuses on West's mother, Donda West. In the game players guide Donda "to the highest gates of heaven by holding her to the light." Which is represented quite literally in this debut trailer. The footage premiered at the release party for his new album, "The Life of Pablo." West addressed the crowd after the trailer played, exclaiming "That's not easy to do, man!" According to West the game has been in development for about a year and half, though there is no release date, or even an announced platforms, as of yet.

‘Hardcore Henry’ Trailer: Action Cinema Goes First-Person

  I’m fascinated by how the language of video games has begun to leak into filmmaking. As gaming has become more commonplace and mainstream, a new generation of directors raised with controllers in their hands have begun to blend the mediums. And you don’t just see this in big, dumb action movies – the stylistically ambitious drama  Son of Saul  bears a distinctive video game thumbprint , whether anyone wants to admit it or not. But Hardcore Henry wears its video game influences on its sleeve in a huge way and it is very much a big, dumb action movie, albeit one of the more ambitious big, dumb action movies to come around in quite some time. A new trailer for this insane exercise in mayhem has arrived and it teases a movie that looks to be, for better and worse, unlike anything we’ve seen before. Hardcore Henry ( which was just called Hardcore when it made the festival rounds last year ) is shot entirely from the first person POV of i...

‘The Purge: Election Year’ Trailer: Politics Is the Deadliest Game of Them All

  Writer/director  James DeMonaco ‘s The Purge   movies have never been shy about melding politics and horror. The series’ creepy, Twilight Zone -esque elevator pitch – a near-future America legalizes all crime for one night every year – has been a vehicle to examine how corrupt systems favor the wealthy and powerful while literally leaving the poor and the helpless out on the streets. You can argue about the results (I think they’ve been pretty good), but it’s always nice to see a grisly horror series bring a little bit of actual meat to the slaughter. The trailer for The Purge: Election Year has arrived and it looks like the next natural step forward for this series. But most importantly, Frank Grillo is back, which is the real reason to celebrate. As the title implies, the third film moves deeper into the political realm, following Charlene Roan ( Elizabeth Mitchell ), a presidential nominee who has built her entire campaign on eliminating ...

Sky X9W Laptop With ‘5TB SSD’ and ’64GB RAM’ Launched

In case you are disappointed with the configurations of the high-end laptops that are currently selling in the market, perhaps the new Eurocom Sky X9W may interest you. This new laptop is an upgrade to the highly-appreciated Sky X9 that came out last year. Of course, before we go on and tell you about the mind-blasting specs of this laptop, take a note that the Sky X9W starts at $2,930! The Sky X9W is being called as a mobile workstation by Eurocom, but the word “mobile” isn’t really fitting in well with this 4.8kg beast. The X9W gets a quad-core, Intel Core i7 ‘Skylake-S’ 6700K SoC and Intel Z170 Express ‘Skylake’ chipset. You can also choose between the Intel Core ‘Skylake-S’ i7-6700 or the Intel Core ‘Skylake-S’ i5-6600L SoC. For the GPU, you can choose between an 8GB Nvidia Quadro M5000M, a 4GB Nvidia Quadro M3000M, or a single 200W desktop class 4GB Nvidia GeForce GTX 980. To keep all that power tamed and avoid overheating, multiple fans have been provid...

How Intel Corporation's Internet of Things Business Is Doing In 4 Numbers

Shares of Intel ( NASDAQ:INTC ) have already fallen about 14% in 2016 due to tepid demand for its PC chips and a slowdown in its data center business. In 2015, revenue at  its Client Computing Group, which includes chips for PCs and mobile devices, slumped 8%. Its data center revenue grew 11%, but that missed the chipmaker's own target of 15% growth. Intel's Edison IoT module . Source: Intel. The bright spot in Intel's lackluster report was its Internet of Things (IoT) business, which was formed in 2013 to capitalize on the growth of connected devices like wearables, smart appliances, drones, and connected cars. Let's discuss four key numbers which explain how this business is doing. 1. 200 billion devices by 2020 Intel estimates that the number of connected devices will soar from 15 billion in 2015 to 200 billion by 2020. That will equal about 26 smart objects for every person in the world. This means that, in addition to PCs and mobi...

'One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3' Exceeds Expectations! Attracts 1 Million Total Worldwide Sales!

  The action video game dubbed "One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3" has apparently exceed the expectations of the fans! Not to mention that the game recently attract a total of 1 million worldwide sales since the day of it's released. Bandai Namco recently released a press release  in Japanese language , announcing that "One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3" surpassed 1 million in total worldwide software sales for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, and Microsoft Windows (PC) consoles.

‘Pandemic’ Trailer Lets You Witness the Zombie Apocalypse Firsthand

There are plenty of movies set during various zombie apocalypses, but  Pandemic pulls you right into the thick of the action with a first-person POV.  Rachel Nichols plays a doctor who arrives in Los Angeles to stop the epidemic from taking over the entire world — though based on the conventions of the genre, I’m going to go ahead and guess that her efforts will prove ultimately futile. Mekhi Phifer ,  Alfie Allen ,  Pat Healy , and  Missi Pyle also star. Check out the first  Pandemic trailer after the jump. Catch the new  Pandemic trailer on iTunes, or watch a YouTube embed below.

Star Ocean 5 Trailer Shows New Characters & Stunning Gameplay

We haven't had a proper Star Ocean game since the release of Star Ocean: The Last Hope for Xbox 360 in February of 2009. That's a serious wait for fans of this series, and it's still unclear when Star Ocean 5 will get its western release date either. But in case the wait wasn't arduous enough, we have a new teaser trailer for PS4 owners. Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness (what a mouthful) will be released for the PS3 and then ported to the Playstation 4 on March 31st in Japan. Star Ocean 4 was actually released in North America 10 days after its initial release in Japan, though I doubt we can expect a similar situation this time around. In any case, let's check out this new trailer. Star Ocean 5 Trailer - Stunning Gameplay Shows New Characters Kicking Ass   

Street Fighter V Trailer Highlights Its Various Game Modes

  However, game website Destructoid has already given their two cents on the new trailer commenting on Capcom's great ability to make awesome trailers using ordinary info. Next up is the Story Mode which follows the story of all characters on the roster, that includes both old as well as new characters introduced in Street Fighter 5 . Announced on January 29 through Capcom UK's YouTube channel, the fifth primary installment of Capcom's banner fighting game series is offering a slew of different gameplay modes beyond the typical arcade and training.

It certainly sounds a helluva lot better than the usual selection of slides that bookend each character's quest through arcade mode, ...

Lego Star Wars game teaser lovingly mocks 'Force Awakens' trailer

Remember all the obsession and excitement as new teasers and trailers emerged for " Star Wars: The Force Awakens "? The movie opened in December, but many spent the months prior poring over details of Stormtroopers standing in formation and the Millennium Falcon rocketing through the air. Lego hasn't forgotten about that hype. A new teaser for the upcoming Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens game takes the form of a sweet parody of the first movie trailer . It starts off with a sandy landscape and the deeply intoned voiceover: "There has been an awakening. Have you felt it?" A sweating Lego minifig version of Finn pops up holding an alarm clock, our first indication that the teaser is going to verge into the surreal. Following the pattern laid out by the movie trailer, we next move into a scene with BB-8 rolling along. Instead of looking like typical desert planet Jakku in the background, the adorable rolling droid crashes into a beach vacation scene wi...

The real 'Airlift': Air India's rescue mission in Kuwait won it a place in Guinness Records

While a debate rages on about the veracity of events depicted in new Bollywood flick Airlift on India's massive evacuation efforts in war-ravaged Kuwait, a former Air India official said it was carried out with 'clock-work precision' and made it to the Guinness World Records. "The film Airlift has brought the evacuation of over 117,000 Indians residing in Kuwait once again on the centre stage after 25 years. How did the feat get listed as a record in the Guinness Book makes for an interesting reading," said former Air India (AI) executive director Jitender Bhargava in a Facebook post on Tuesday. Bhargava said as head of AI's Public Relations, he would issue daily media statements about the number of flights that were operated in the past 24 hours, the number of stranded passengers safety brought from Amman in Jordan to various Indian cities, the next day's plans of flight operations, etc. "Since it wasn't the era of Google which enable...
