Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories.

Hot off the heels of a preview event earlier this year, Wccftech recently went hands-on with the latest build of Granblue Fantasy: Relink of what might be one of the last preview events ahead of the February 1st launch. Cygames’ signature mobile gacha is given a fresh pair of wings and the freedom to fly as a story-driven action RPG spinoff from the main storyline. To get a deeper look at the soon-to-be-third console title in the Granblue Fantasy franchise, we sat down with Cygames ahead of The Game Awards to get a multi-hour-long second look at the title. The […]
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has been the subject of plenty of complaints and controversy over its live-service focus, and while recent PR hasn’t really focused on this aspect of the game, it doesn’t mean any of that stuff has actually gone anywhere. Case in point, early on it was revealed that Suicide Squad will be an always-online game, and it seems that probably hasn’t changed… at least at launch. According to an official post on the Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Discord server, the game will get an offline single-player mode eventually, but the wording implies the […]
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is setting out to be the modern-day Crysis, as its secret Unobtainium ultra high graphics setting can make even an RTX 4090 GPu struggle. The Unobtanium graphics settings, which can be unlocked by entering "-unlockmaxsettings" in the Add Launch Arguments menu in the Ubisoft Connect client, push the settings beyond ultra, with better quality ray tracing, shadow and reflection resolution, and more. These settings are so demanding that even an RTX 4090 GPU barely manages to run the game at slightly above 60 frames per second at 4K with DLSS Performance Mode, which upscales the image […]

Alan Wake 2 was one of the big winners at The Game Awards 2023, earning three awards (Best Art Direction, Best Game Direction, and Best Narrative), the most after Larian's Baldur's Gate 3. The Finnish studio is, however, not at all resting on its laurels. They already confirmed a major new update scheduled to go live on all platforms on Monday, December 11, at 10 AM Pacific Time. This new patch adds New Game Plus, allowing players to restart Alan Wake 2 and retain all weapons, Charms, and character upgrades earned during their first playthrough. Remedy noted that the unlocked […]
The PC version of Final Fantasy XVI may require an SSD, producer Naoki Yoshida suggested in a new interview. Speaking with Japanese magazine Famitsu regarding the newly announced DLC, Yoshida-san talked about the PC version of the game and the system requirements, which will be announced in due time. Despite not talking about them, Yoshida-san recommended players get an SSD, as Final Fantasy XVI is a game where loading speed is critical, and optimizations may not be enough to overcome a hardware barrier. Both DLC expansions may also be included in the PC release, suggesting it will be released at […]
SEGA made a big splash at The Game Awards 2023 by finally giving its fans what they've been clamoring for over a decade: the revival of five of its classic, most beloved IPs, as reported a while ago. Crazy Taxi – A whacky, high-octane driving adventure series where players must weave through traffic in an open play environment to deliver passengers to their destinations before time runs out. Golden Axe – A "hack and slash”-style series with close melee combat set in a fantasy world of beasts, swords and magic. Jet Set Radio – This franchise combines action packed traversal around vibrant Tokyo-to […]
Grand Theft Auto VI is setting out to be a much better-looking game than even Red Dead Redemption 2, as highlighted in a new video shared online. The new comparison, put together by Cycu1, puts sequences from the reveal trailer side by side with similar sequences in the second entry in the Old West open-world series, further highlighting how the visual leap will be massive, especially when it comes to the finer details, physics and more. Considering the footage from the Grand Theft Auto VI reveal trailer is not really indicative of the final game's quality, the open-world title is […]

AMD's Early Support For RDNA 4 "GFX12" GPUs Will Put The Company's Next-Gen Hardware In A Much Better Position Compared to Alternatives It looks like AMD has seen a sudden change in approach for Linux, as when it comes to next-gen support, the company was quite slow compared to its competitors.

A new Rise of the Ronin action-packed trailer was shown during yesterday's The Game Awards, providing the best look yet at Team NINJA's open-world action game. The new trailer, which can be watched below, shows how the game will feature some of the studio's signature excellent action game mechanics, making it almost feel like open-world Nioh, which wouldn't really be surprising, as it is being directed by Fumihiko Yasuda, the director of the popular Soulslike series. The trailer also confirms the game's March 22nd, 2024 release date, making it one hell of a day for video game releases, as Dragon's […]
