At the beginning of the year, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth launched a hell of an opening salvo. The latest installment in the long-running Like a Dragon/Yakuza series is comically full of things to do. On one hand, it’s a turn-based RPG epic, splitti...
It's seemingly confirmed that Horizon Zero Dawn is getting a remaster, despite the fact it really doesn't need one. Sony is focusing on making the games look a bit cleaner and visually striking instead of rebooting or porting franchises that people actually care about. Although it hasn't been officially confirmed that a Horizon Zero Dawn remaster is coming, it's quite likely since the rumor has been floating around since 2022. People now believe this is happening because the supposed remastered version has been rated by the ESRB, listening to PC and PlayStation 5 as the platforms. In the latest Game […]
Joker 2, technically titled Joker: Folie à Deux, is just a couple of weeks away, and the final trailer has arrived to try and seal the deal for potential audience goers who are still on the fence about whether a “jukebox” musical is how they want to se...
The A18 Pro powering the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max had already cemented its position as Apple’s fastest smartphone silicon to date by being 18 percent faster than last year’s A17 Pro in Geekbench 6’s Metal benchmark while also trading blows with the M1 in the single-core and multi-core department. In the latest GFXBench Aztec Ruins test, the newest SoC once again reaches a new performance plateau, but a closer look at the comparison reveals that it had to operate at a higher power draw to achieve this difference, resulting in a worse ‘performance per watt’ ratio. In the […]
In what is now being dubbed an "unmatched" toolkit among OECD economies, China is rapidly flexing its muscles to prevent the outflow of indigenous capital, tech, and talent, leading to an inevitable bifurcation of the global economy. There is a popular perception that hardly any innovation takes place within the Chinese economy, that any headway is a result of borrowed or stolen Western tech. While this assertion might have been true for much of China's recent rise as a major economic player, there are increasing signs that it no longer holds true. For one, China edged out the US in […]

Microsoft, Google, & other CSPs are reportedly offering China access to NVIDIA's cutting-edge AI hardware, potentially creating a workaround for US regulations. China Has Still Access To NVIDIA's Cutting-Edge AI Hardware Despite US Restrictions Through "Legal" Workarounds It looks like the US sanctions couldn't manage to thwart the AI developments in China, as the nation has sought out alternatives through workarounds that cannot be penalized. After the emergence of in-house AI solutions, it looks like the big tech firms are collaborating with Chinese customers to provide them with access to NVIDIA's high-end AI hardware, such as the H100-based AI servers, […]
A Chinese rocket being developed by a private company escaped from the launch pad during a static fire attempt and crashed some distance away from the test site. The rocket, Tianlong-3, uses nine kerosene powered engines and is designed to land vertically, similar to SpaceX's Falcon 9. This latest test comes soon after footage from China showed an operational rocket crashing on Earth after successfully launching a satellite. Tianlong-3's manufacturer, Space Pioneer, assured the press in a release that no casualties were reported from the test. China's Tianlong-3 Test Rocket Escapes From Test Pad & Flies Briefly Before Crashing Mishaps […]
After China launched a small X-ray satellite earlier today, fresh footage from the social media platform Weibo shows villagers running away in fear after the rocket made an uncontrolled landing on land. China, like other countries, does not have reusable rockets, and its launch vehicles are often criticized for landing too close to civilian sites. While supporters have stressed that all villages are evacuated before a rocket launch, this time around, it appeared that a few villagers were a little too close for comfort as they panicked and started to run away from the booster as it crashed and left […]
The Biden administration is now considering imposing further "AI tech" restrictions on China, which would thwart the use of the "GAA" semiconductor technology. China's Rapid AI Semiconductor Developments Have Bothered The Biden Administration, Plans To Impose Further Measures The US-China hostilities are at an all-time high regarding sanctions in the technology industry, and it looks like the Biden administration is determined to end the massive semiconductor developments occurring in mainland China. Bloomberg now reports that the US plans to implement measures that would restrict China's access to the "Gate-All-Around" semiconductor technology to reduce the semiconductor progress in China and ultimately […]
