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 […]
“Why are the games called ‘The Legend of Zelda’ when you always play as Link?” is an inescapable question asked by pretty much everybody who encounters Nintendo’s beloved series, and yet, the company has never really provided a satisfactory answer beyond, “Uh, just because.” Well, this four-decade-long confusing state of affairs is being resolved (for now) as The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom finally gives the Princess herself a starring role. This also marks the first original 2D Zelda title since 2013’s A Link Between Worlds, so a lot of longstanding fan requests are being satisfied at once here. […]
It comes as no surprise these days that a game has leaked just weeks before its release, and this time, it's happened to Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. This title is set for release on September 26, and allegedly copies of the game have already leaked online. Just on Friday, the game showed up for the first time on the internet, so now Nintendo has to try and get rid of any footage or gameplay, as it is illegal to have the game via emulation already. The ROM for The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom has […]
From the past trailers, we have seen that in this game, Zelda will fight using Echoes to her advantage, allowing her to gain leverage over enemies and throw objects at them to defeat them. However, the latest five-minute trailer released on the Nintendo YouTube channel shows Zelda drawing a sword. The trailer also showcases the world of Hyrule, which has been torn apart by mysterious Rifts that have appeared out of nowhere. These Rifts similarly took her father, the King, and Link himself. By teaming up with a mystical creature named Tri, she can jump into the Rifts and explore […]
In last month's Nintendo Direct, we learned that The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom would finally put the titular character in the spotlight nearly forty years after the franchise's first installment. However, as revealed by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB), Link will be playable, too. This is an adventure game in which players assume the role of Zelda as she attempts to dispel rifts throughout Hyrule and rescue Link. From a ¾-overhead perspective, players explore various environments while fighting stylized enemies (e.g., humans, creatures). As Link, players use a sword and arrows to defeat enemies; Zelda can use […]
For much of the franchise’s history, The Legend of Zelda has come in two flavors – 3D and 2D. Unfortunately, fans of 2D Zelda have largely been out in the cold in recent years, with the 2019 Switch remake of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening being the only bone Nintendo’s given them. That game was good, but it wasn’t enough to fully satisfy. Well, good news 2D Zelda fans – at the most recent Nintendo Direct The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom was announced. Perhaps even more exciting, is that this game finally, finally gives Zelda herself a […]
As part of its Q2 FY 2025 financial presentation, SEGA has announced the sale of Amplitude Studios, the Paris-based studio known as the developer of Endless Space, Endless Legend, Dungeon of the Endless, Endless Space 2, Humankind, and more recently, Endless Dungeon. SEGA explained this concludes its wave of restructuring the European business, which previously included the sale of Relic Entertainment and substantial layoffs. The Group recorded an extraordinary loss of approximately ¥5.9 billion ($38.7 million) in the second quarter for the fiscal year due to the sale of overseas development studio Amplitude Studios SAS through a management buyout.
