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

The PlayStation 5 Pro Game Boost feature isn't delivering the 45% improvements promised before launch likely due to memory bandwidth constraints. Speaking during the latest episode of their weekly podcast, Digital Foundry commented on the system's features delivering, so far, only a 30%, 35% improvement in titles that did not receive a PS5 Pro Enhanced patch. While it is still not clear if Game Boost, which is essentially a compatibility mode, offers all the features and all the performance of the system, which seems unlikely, considering the Xbox Series X, powered by AMD hardware like Sony's consoles, offers the full […]
Sony’s Horizon franchise has always felt like it had the potential to tap into a younger demographic, what with its plucky youthful protagonist, largely bloodless robot dino combat, and environmental messaging, but Sony never really pitched the games that hard toward kids – until now. This week sees the release of Lego Horizon Adventures, which reassembles 2017’s Horizon Zero Dawn into a plastic-y kid-friendly form. Will Lego Horizon Adventures attract a whole new audience to Aloy’s exploits? Or does Sony’s arrow fall short of the intended target? Time to break this blocky adventure down. Lego Horizon Adventures sticks to the […]
I really liked Lego Horizon Adventures, a game that’s exactly what it sounds like. It tells an embellished version of the events of Horizon Zero Dawn, the first game in Guerrilla’s series of post-apocalyptic open-world adventures, with colorful Lego br...
Sony released a new “Play Has No Limits” ad for the PlayStation 5 on Tuesday to mark four years since its 2020 launch. No one would have thought twice about it, except that fans spotted a seemingly innocent but potentially telling split-second referenc...
Sony has announced that it’s lowering the suggested retail price of the PlayStation 5 Slim Digital Edition as we enter the holiday shopping season. But you’ll want to act fast, as the discount ends Christmas Eve, and is only available while supplies la...
Getting a brand new PlayStation 5 in the United States will be cheaper than ever for the next month or so, as the console's MSRP has been officially dropped for the holiday shopping season. A new ad shared today confirmed that the MSRP for the console's Digital Edition has been dropped to $379.99 from $449.99. The offer, which has only been confirmed for the US as of now, will be available until December 24th, so there will be plenty of time to take advantage of this deal before it ends. While an MSRP drop for the console's Standard Edition would […]
The PlayStation 5 Pro's modest CPU upgrade, only 10% better than the CPU powering the base model, is the system's primary limitation that continues to impact CPU-bound games such as Baldur's Gate 3. In their in-depth analysis of the mid-generation refresh system released a few days back, Digital Foundry went over the console's CPU and how it impacts the performance of both unpatched and PS5 Pro Enhanced games. Unpatched games such as Cyberpunk 2077 do see a small performance improvement in line with the 10% CPU improvement over the base model, but still cannot keep a steady 60 FPS framerate. […]
We won’t belabor the point because if you’re a normal person with normal mutuals, chances are your timeline is already doing that—this week sucked, and so will the next four years.Read more...
Yesterday, the PlayStation 5 Pro launched. But I’ve been playing around with Sony’s most expensive console ever for the past week, and the biggest issue I have with it, besides the high price, is that its really hard to actually figure out what games r...
There have been two massive questions hanging over Concord, the expensive PlayStation 5 hero shooter that almost nobody played. The first one is: how did a game that wasn’t busted or terrible bomb so spectacularly? The second is: how did a game seeming...
The reason patent attorneys get paid so much money is that no one in their right mind would ever want to be a patent attorney. Thus, we can all nod and smile as if we understand as Palworld developers Pocketpair releases a statement about precisely whi...
The PlayStation 5 Pro brings considerable visual and performance improvements in several titles, including Resident Evil Village, Resident Evil 4 remake, Demon's Souls, and others. In the tests conducted by Brazil Pixel, the latest two entries in the CAPCOM survival horror series powered by the RE Engine show considerable performance improvements. Resident Evil Village, for example, runs at locked 120 frames per second in HFR without ray tracing at 1080p resolution, which is quite impressive to see on a console in a relatively recent game. The Resident Evil 4 remake, on the other hand, doesn't reach the same locked 120 […]
Vampire Survivors draws tons of inspiration from Castlevania, so it is no surprise that the new Ode To Castlevania DLC is fantastic. I’m here to guide you through unlocking each Hero and evolving each weapon, because that’s how you’ll end up accessing ...
I started playing Overwatch in 2019. By the time I was pushing payloads and getting Play of the Game with a well-placed Tactical Visor, a lot of the old hero kits and team compositions that were infamous when the hero shooter launched in 2016 were more...
