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 […]

Nexon has consistently kept The First Descendant at the forefront of graphics and display technologies. The free-to-play third-person looter shooter game looked great from the first time we saw it, but it was initially developed with Unreal Engine 4. However, the team switched to Unreal Engine 5 as soon as they could to take advantage of Nanite and Lumen, as they believed the latter in particular to be 'essential' for next-generation projects. In the first interview published on Wccftech two years ago, the developers confirmed support for various ray traced effects, NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution and Frame Generation, AMD FidelityFX […]
Seeing a sequel come out for the original Life is Strange games this late on felt like a bit of a shock. I wasn't sure what to expect from diving into Max Caulfield's story again, especially since the previous games were so chaotic and messy. At least in this one, Chloe didn't feature as heavily, and it was more focused on Max as a grown-up and how she navigated the world after the loss of both her powers and Chloe. As a result, you get to see Max as a more mature character who didn't make as many reckless decisions […]

If you're going to be a blood-sucker, you at least want to be fashionable when you do it. In a new dev diary released by The Chinese Room and Paradox Interactive, they've teamed up to discuss how fashion plays a part in Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2. Each clan has its own set of styles that make it easily identifiable when speaking to them or exploring the streets of Seattle. The four base clans of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 each have their own unique style to represent personality, history, and subcultures through their fashion. When creating the […]
Samsung pivoted in a different direction this year by unveiling its first smart ring, the Galaxy Ring, which left quite the impact on users and the tech community for being a health-focused compact device that could be comfortably worn throughout the day. The company has been working on introducing more size options and making the wearable more accessible widely by working aggressively on extending the user base. While it has not been long since the first model came out, speculations regarding the Galaxy Ring 2 and its possible launch date have already started emerging, with the recent one claiming that […]
This year saw a lot of tightening up of rules and more stringent actions being taken for violations, including levying heavy fines. EU has been actively looking for companies that have anti-competitive practices and is ensuring they pay the penalty for noncompliance. After Google became the target of the regulations, it seems that Apple is now facing pressure from the regulatory authorities for failing to comply with the Digital Markets Act (DMA) when it comes to its App Store. Apple is under hot waters, as EU intends to levy fines on the tech giant for its anti-competitive App Store practices […]
The Nintendo Switch 2 may support mesh shaders, judging from some recently datamined information that has been shared online this week. As reported by Watertoon, the code of the Nintendo Switch Online playtest, which was held in the past few days for a new unannounced game, reportedly features support for mesh shaders and 4K resolution, neither of them supported by the current console. Considering how the Japanese company's president, Shuntaro Furukawa, confirmed that the Nintendo Switch 2 will be backward compatible, there's a very good chance that these features will be supported by the yet-to-be-revealed console. Despite it being almost 2025, we […]
