11 Best Video Games Coming Out in 2015

Posted: 18 Nov 2014 08:15 AM PST

Witcher 3

Every year that comes, people say is also going to be the biggest ever when it comes to new video games. With the likes of a new Witcher installment, a new one for Uncharted and Halo as well, maybe they’re right when they say this about 2015.

The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt


The final (well, not really) chapter of the trials and adventures of Geralt of Rivia trying to make sense of his lost memories. Fighting monsters, a spectral horde known as The Wild Hunt and meeting Ciri again. This time it’s a completely Open World, and should be a lot bigger than anything we’ve seen from CD Projekt RED. It comes out on February 24.

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End


Not a lot to go on, but it’s probably going to involve the jungles of Madagascar, with Nathan Drake being closer to death than ever. Who knows, maybe the name suggests it is the last time for him?

Batman: Arkham Knight


The final chapter in Rocksteady’s telling of Batman, which takes place a year late in Bruce Wayne’s life after the events of Arkham City. It also has an original villain (Arkham Knight)

Halo 5: Guardians


A new chapter in Master Chief’s life. That’s about all we know, but the closer we get to the release (late 2015) we’ll know more about this mysterious game.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain


Serving as a continuation to the events of Ground Zeroes, Sanke goes to Africa and Afghanistan during the Soviet war looking for revenge. It’ll be the first open-world scenario of Kojima’s never ending tale. It comes with the option of air lifting goats!

Mortal Kombat X


The first new-gen entry for the fighting series with some new characters along with the classic and better known ones.

Dead Island 2


Taking zombies out never goes out of fashion. This game comes with a more cartoon-like look, and will probably set on the coastline of California, although Yager Development aren’t allowing a lot of details to leak out.

The Order: 1886


The first console game by Ready at Dawn will only be out on the PS4, and is an alternative telling of the late 19th century in London, as a group of knights try to keep the city and the world safe from half-animal, half-human monsters.

Homefront: The Revolution


The game takes place in Open-World Philadelphia, four years after the unified Korean republic invasion to the United States, backed by regaining some of the Western States back.

Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture


A spiritual successor to Dear Esther, EGGT is promising to be a very intriguing, story-driven release, following six characters taking on the end of the world in a game that’s probably bit more philosophical than your standard video game hit.

Bloodborne


How is this different from Dark Souls? Faster and more difficult, but that not different for those looking for a bloody, awesome way to take out their aggression on disease inflected travelers.

Nokia’s new, secret gadget is an Android tablet

Posted: 18 Nov 2014 07:55 AM PST

Nokia N1

The teasing is over, and Nokia has made its first product announcement since Microsoft took over their mobile division: the Nokia N1 Android tablet.

As reported yesterday, Nokia might be out of the mobile business but is far from down for the count. The Finnish giant has announced their new Android-powered tablet, which marks their hopefully triumphant return to the hardware side of business. This new creation is called the N1 tablet, and will come out in Q1 2015, first in China and then in the rest of the world.

This is not the work of just Nokia. who turned the N1 tablet into an international collaboration by licensing the Nokia brand and having software and design created by third parties such as Foxconn from Taiwan. What this phone does not have is an American collaboration, as Nokia have clarified time and again that Microsoft had nothing to with any part of the N1′s development, which will eventually lead to a market with two separate companies called Nokia, and two of them providing official Nokia products. Confusing, much?

The N1 itself is made to compete head on with the iPad mini at 7.9in (20.1cm), but it is powered by a custom version of the Google’s Android 5.0 operating system. It will sell at retail for $249. So, who is excited to see Nokia fight back?

Google’s Project Loon for Internet everywhere will begin in Australia

Google’s most ambitious idea yet, Project Loon, will begin in December this year with Australia as the first country partaking.

Project Loon is Google’s greatest endeavor yet, as it aims to bring Internet to the entire world via a series of relays located in high-altitude balloons. The Santa Clara company has announced that they are getting ready to conduct a series of test flights in Australia, with more than 20 balloons spread around western Queensland. Google couldn’t do this on their own, so they have partnered with a local wireless carrier, Telstra, who will be in charge of beaming the Internet to the ground below. Note, Telstra are not newbies when it comes to Internet telecommunications, and are already Australia’s largest carrier.

The plan comes from Google’s experimentation and research department, Google X, and has already been running trials in other countries, such as New Zealand and the US. Project Loon sounds fantastic on paper, but Google still has to get around some details, mainly the wind and ever-changing weather conditions which could potentially interfere with the optimal altitude, or worse, crash the balloons as it already happened in New Zealand once.

NYC Payphones Will Make Way for Free Gigabit Wi-Fi Charging Stations

Posted: 17 Nov 2014 12:38 PM PST

NYC Payphone LinkNYC 01

London already has public charging stations that look like phone booths, so New York couldn’t have settled for less. Big Apple’s charging stations will also provide people with free Gigabit Wi-Fi, which is something more metropolises should adopt.

It’s really painful to be in a capital and not have Wi-Fi everywhere. NYC may not be the capital of the US, but it is the country’s largest city and has more than 50 million visitors each year. In this context, offering free Wi-Fi to the public is more than a simple necessity, it’s a must. The LinkNYC charging stations will not only provide quick access to a free and fast Internet connection, but they will also allow people to charge their devices if they’re on the run and don’t have a charger handy or a power outlet nearby. The Links are quite similar to this two-faced 12-feet tall payphone concept, but has plenty of unique design elements to call it original.

The LinkNYC network will include 10,000 such stations, and will become a reality thanks to CityBridge, a consortium made by Titan, Control Group, Qualcomm, and Comark. Seeing how Titan is one of the two major operators of current old-school pay phones, its involvement in repurposing these ancient pieces of technology is only logical.

“One of the reasons why this Wi-Fi network is expected to work where others haven’t is because we have linked it to a significant source of revenue, which is the advertising component,” explained Scott Goldsmith, Titan’s COO.

Luckily for New Yorkers, the LinkNYC network won’t be paid out of their pockets. The Links will display all sorts of ads that basically pay for the charging station. On top of that, they will generate up to $500 million per year, and that’s definitely not a sum to neglect.

Accessibility is also something the developers of the Links have taken into account. The pay phones may have a futuristic design, but people with various disabilities will still be able to use them.

And as though free Wi-Fi and charging wasn’t enough, the pay phone will enable people to place calls to any of the 50 states at no cost. Now this is an example that other big cities and capitals should follow! For the time being I can only say this: Bravo, NYC!
