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.

Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

The first patch for Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero is out and it has demolished Yajirobe players even more ruthlessly than that Saibaman wasted Yamcha. There is no coming back from this nerf, bean daddies. But at least the game runs better now due to some ...

I’ve been a grumpy old man about all things Dragon Ball for far too long. As your typical non-manga-reading, mainstream-anime-watching child of Toonami, I drew a line in the sand a few episodes into Dragon Ball Super when I first gave it a chance. I wa...
2024 will go down in history as the saddest year for every Dragon Ball fan, as it was the year the series' legendary creator Akira Toriyama passed away. Without this tragic event, however, the year would have been remembered as a great one for the franchise as a whole, not only thanks to the release of the Dragon Ball Daima series but also to the return of the beloved Budokai Tenkaichi franchise. Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO is one of the best games based on the works of Toriyama-sensei ever made. Right from the start, it is clear how Dragon Ball: […]

Bandai Namco may be the latest big gaming company to face cutbacks. According to a new report by Bloomberg, the Japanese publisher behind the fresh hit Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, which sold 3 million copies in its first day,recently canceled a project...
Japanese publisher Bandai Namco recently started reducing its workforce following the cancellation of several titles due to low demand, and it is doing so using a very Japanese method. As reported by Bloomberg, the company is attempting to reduce staff by sending workers to rooms where they are given nothing to do so as to put pressure on them and make them leave voluntarily. Since April, 200 employees have been moved to such rooms, and 100 have already resigned, with more expecting to leave the publisher in the coming months, according to people familiar with the matter who wished not […]
Today, Bandai Namco announced that its latest game, Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO, has already sold three million units in the span of just twenty-four hours across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S and X. On Steam, the game has peaked at 122.5K concurrent users, which isn't bad at all for a fighting game. In a hands-on preview, Kai Tatsumoto wrote about Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO: No matter who you pick to back in Sparking! ZERO, they'll have a few tricks up their sleeve when it comes to melee combat. There's a lot going on at once onscreen and that's […]
A new Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero mod was released online today promises to make the experience much smoother, at least in offline play. The mod developed by Zetto, which can be downloaded for free from Nexus Mods, removes the 60 FPS cap in the PC version of the game, allowing the game to run at an unlocked framerate without speeding up the game. For the mod to work properly, the Sparking Zero UTOC Signature Bypass patch is required. Considering how undemanding the Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO PC system requirements are, many players should be able to take advantage of this mod to […]
The Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO PC system requirements were revealed, and they are surprisingly undemanding, given that the game is powered by Unreal Engine 5. According to the game's Steam store page, an Intel i5-9600K or AMD Ryzen 5 2600 CPU, an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 or AMD Radeon RX 590 or Intel Arc A750, and 8 GB RAM will be required to run the game at 1080p resolution and 60 FPS at low settings. Frame rate drops are also expected with the minimum system requirements. The Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO recommended system requirements are obviously higher than the minimum, […]
Somehow, Heihachi Mishima has returned. No veteran to throwing members of the Mishima family into volcanoes, Bandai Namco and Katsuhiro Harada have made a big show about Heihachi having finally died after being thrown into one himself following a staggering loss to his son Kazuya. Much like the stock price of NVIDIA this week, he just can’t stay down for long. We recently got a sneak peek at the fighter’s new story chapters and got to take the Mishima family head for our spin ourselves with a recent hands-on with Tekken 8. In a candid chat with Michael Murray between […]
