Apple finally included a telephoto lens in its iPhone 15 Pro Max last year, with the upgrade extended to the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. This is just one of the many examples of how the Cupertino firm adopts various standards much later than the competition, likely because it wants to offer the best configuration to customers. One other technology that the company is said to bring for the iPhone 18 that rivals like Samsung introduced years ago is variable aperture for the main camera, and according to one analyst, another supplier will provide these parts. Sunny […]
The use of TSMC’s second-generation 3nm process for the M4 series has made Apple’s latest chipsets more thermally efficient, but that does not mean that a capable cooling solution should be ignored from the rest of the hardware configuration. In fact, depending on how robust that solution is, we can actually get more performance from the M4, as demonstrated in the latest Premiere Pro 4K Export test, where the redesigned Mac mini is faster than Apple’s updated 14-inch MacBook Pro. However, one other hardware ends up taking the crown, and we will discuss why this is happening. The 24-inch M4 […]

On June 10, Ubisoft held its annual Ubisoft Forward event as the final big event of Summer Game Fest 2024. The show was a bit subdued compared to past years, but we did get a huge look at Star Wars Outlaws, which is set to launch on August 30, 2024 on ...
Star Wars Outlaws, the upcoming open-world action-adventure from Massive Entertainment set in a Galaxy Far, Far Away, is slated to be the biggest game of the summer, and today during the Ubisoft Forward showcase, we got a fresh look at the game in action. The new gameplay footage mostly focuses on the game’s expansive world and the activities you’ll encounter there, including a visit to Tatooine and Mos Eisley, including the infamous cantina. Interestingly, unlike your typical open-world game, it seems you don’t improve your skills in Star Wars Outlaws by gaining XP, but rather, by tracking down “experts” who […]
NVIDIA's Computex 2024 keynote was largely focused on AI, but there were also a couple of news for gamers, starting with the fact that Star Wars Outlaws will support NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 after all. We already knew that the game developed by Ubisoft Massive would support NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution and Frame Generation, in addition to ray-traced global illumination and RTX Direct Illumination. However, it looked like Ray Reconstruction would be left out of it, possibly because Massive preferred Snowdrop's built-in denoiser. Today's news means the developers of Star Wars Outlaws have decided to switch to NVIDIA's AI-optimized denoiser after […]
The collaboration that would bring to Star Wars Outlaws was first announced in January 2021, when Lucasfilm Games revealed it had partnered with Ubisoft Massive (Tom Clancy's The Division) to make an open-world game based on George Lucas's beloved sci-fi universe. Shortly afterward, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot told investors the project was still in the early stages of development. Indeed, in early 2022, leaker Tom Henderson believed the game wouldn't be released until 2025. However, in late 2022, Ubisoft Massive was already looking for playtesters in the area around Malmö, and in early 2023, the studio teased big incoming news […]

Following the release of the Star Wars Outlaws story trailer, the launch date announcement, and the opening of pre-orders, Game Informer also published the latest digital issue with plenty of new info on the upcoming game. To start with, Ubisoft Massive clarified there won't be freeform space travel between planets in Star Wars Outlaws. Similar to Bethesda's Starfield, players will jump between the orbits of the planets they're allowed to visit. Creative Director Julian Gerighty explained: For planets, we wanted to have an orbit around them with lots of different points of interest, things to do, battles to get in, […]
