Apple Might Launch Its Own Smart Home Camera As It Focuses On Providing A More Integrated Product Experience For Its Users

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.

Stellar Blade Developer Is Now Worth as Much as KOEI TECMO in Market Capitalization Following Huge IPO

South Korean Stellar Blade developer Shift Up has finalized its IPO (initial public offering), which turned out to be highly successful. As reported by Bloomberg, Shift Up raised $320 million (435 billion won, the local currency), the largest amount a gaming firm gathered during an IPO in almost three years. Back then, Krafton (maker of PUBG) raised $3.8 billion in its IPO. It's also the largest IPO in South Korea across all sectors since HD Hyundai Marine Solution in May. Lee Jieun, analyst at Daishin Securities Co., reckoned there would be 'ample space' for the stock to rise following the […]

Stellar Blade Update Adds a Boss Rush and More Outfits, Including Some Much-Debated Looks

PS5 exclusive Stellar Blade has dropped its first update since launch, and it serves up a hearty helping of new features, quality-of-life improvements, and fan service. The biggest addition is the new Boss Challenge mode, which developer Shift Up describes thusly… “The Boss Challenge pits you against the 19 bosses from the base game. Hone your skills, outwit your enemies… and then brutalize them. Progression in the Boss Challenge requires battle data from bosses you’ve previously defeated. You can also fight bosses on Hard difficulty setting after you’ve seen the ending of the game. You can either load up and […]

Stellar Blade PC Port and Sequel Planned, Confirms Dev

Stellar Blade is certainly one of the most successful games released this year. The PlayStation 5 action game developed by South Korean developer Shift Up garnered widespread acclaim from critics and users alike when it launched last month. Our Kai Tatsumoto rated the game 9 out of 10 in his review: No butts about it, Stellar Blade is a marvelous feast for the eyes and a technically impressive action RPG. Those who find the hyper-sexualized Eve offputting will find little redemption in finding some modesty for the playable heroine, but at the same time, those already accustomed to the years […]

Stellar Blade’s Extensive New Game+ to Offer 34 Exclusive Outfits, New Skills, and More

In recent years, it’s become common for AAA games to hold back their New Game+ modes, often rolling them out as part of a “big update” weeks or months after launch. Well, apparently, that won’t be the case with the upcoming PS5 exclusive Stellar Blade, which will have New Game+ available from launch, and it sounds pretty meaty. In addition to tackling the game at a higher difficulty, players can look forward to learning new skills and earning a bunch of NG+ exclusive outfits for Eve (a hefty 34 all!) We have more details about NG+ below, but first, check […]

Stellar Blade Polish Extends to Full Game, Performance Solid Across Modes, No UE4 Stutters

Prior to release, all indications were that Stellar Blade would be an unusually technically polished current-gen launch, with the game’s demo leaving many impressed. But, of course, demos aren’t always indicative of the final game, with devs sometimes taking a thin slice of gameplay and give it more polish than the rest of the game. Well, the review embargo for Stellar Blade has arrived, and it seems it’s not only a good time in terms of action (check out Wccftech’s positive review here) but according to the tech heads at Digital Foundry, the full game is every bit as technically […]

Stellar Blade 25 Hours to Beat, 50 for Completionists, No MTX Except for Crossover Content

Excitement for the upcoming PS5-exclusive Stellar Blade has been building following the game’s well-received, and refreshingly technically sound, demo dropped, but some folks may still have some questions about the stylish action game. Thankfully, Stellar Blade general director Kim Hyeong-tae and technical director Lee Dong-gi have been doing interviews for various Asian gaming publications that may clear up some of those queries. On the subject of the game’s length, it seems like the main questline will be around 25 hours. Meanwhile, those who opt to clean up the sidequests and collectibles, could get anywhere from 30 to 50 hours out […]
