Super Mario Run for Android Finally Has A Release Date! 23rd of March

Mar 18, 2017 By

Super Mario Run has been one of the most popularly talked about and played games of recent times. The game released for the iOS in December 2016, and has since been quite popular. It was announced in September of 2016 during the Apple event where the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus were launched. Nintendo had also commented that this game was all set to get Super Mario Run for Android in the days to follow. However no timelines were given then. We now have a confirmed date of the launch – 23rd March.

Super Mario Run for Android was on a pre-registration phase for a long time. For months all the users would see on the Super Mario Run app on the Google Play Store is a green button that says pre-register. Well, we will be seeing that button for just a few more days as Nintendo has officially confirmed via Twitter, the launch date of the game. Super Mario Run for Android will release on the 23rd of March.

In the past Nintendo had initially announced that the game will be releasing for the Android users, and then they had said that it should ideally be out by March. However the date is now set in stone. Super Mario Run for Android is likely to feature the same pricing as the iOS version of the game. The game comes free of cost for the users for the first ten levels. However, beyond that users need to pay a one-time amount of $10, after which there are no in-game purchases to be made and the game is free to play without any extra costs.

Super Mario Run for Android was expected to release a little earlier, however Nintendo wanted to ensure that the game is not hackable (or at least not easily). They had stated that their concern was that once it hits the Android OS, it could face certain security issues that are not usually possible with the iOS devices.

XBOX One S – List of all the improvements it features over the XBOX One:

Jun 15, 2016 By

Microsoft has been one of the biggest names in the world of technology. While the company has constantly been known for their work in the software markets. However, one of their most underappreciated territories is the world of gaming and the XBOX Consoles. The company has recently announced a major updated variant of the XBOX One device – the XBOX One S. The One S now comes out into the markets with several new improvements, here’s a look at all of them:

A new and improved design: The XBOX One S features a 40% reduction in bulk compared to the XBOX One. It also comes out into the markets with a vertical stand in the box. The device is now much more slimmer, and gives a better competition to the PS4.

Removal of the Power Brick: The XBOX One was a massive device in itself, and it also contained an internal power brick, which added to the bulk. However, with the new and improved variant coming out, the power brick has been removed, and it now depends on the internal power supply.

Improved Storage: The XBOX One S comes out into the markets with an internal storage of up to 2TB, which is double the capacity of the previous version of the XBOX, and the PS4 as well, as both the devices offer a maximum of 1TB of storage space.

4K, HDR: This new and improved XBOX variant now features support for a 4K Resolution (3,820×2,160) and HDR. However, the 4K resolution is only for videos, and not for games at the moment. The colors are expected to be more vibrant and the darker shades are expected to be more darker with a better HDR technology.

4K Blu-Ray Support: Not just would the new XBOX One S be able to play streaming videos at a 4K resolution, but also would it be able to play the 4K Blu-Ray discs as well. In the past there have been blu-ray players which cost nearly the same as the XBOX. However, this is a major step up for the console.

Control other devices with IR Blaster: With the Kinect having been unpaired from the XBOX One long ago, the price of the XBOX One fell by $150. However, there is one feature of the Kinect that has been built into the new age XBOX devices – an IR Blaster in the remotes. Users can now control other devices such as a TV and a Cable Box with the help of an XBOX controller similar to a remote.

Updated Controller: Talking about the controller, the XBOX One S brings several changes to the same, as a new texture grip and a better range have been added to the device. In addition to Xbox’s proprietary wireless control scheme, Microsoft has also integrated Bluetooth wireless support with this one. Users would now be able to connect these controllers with Bluetooth enabled PCs and tablets.

Half Life 3 – Release Date, Virtual Reality, More:

Jun 10, 2016 By

One of the most awaited names of recent times, Half Life 3 has been a game which has been anticipated to come out in quite a long time, but the developers have maintained a silence every time questions are asked about the game. The developers of the Half Life series, Valve, have been among some of the biggest, most established names in the markets over the past several years. The company has been changing many trends in the markets, and it has now been anticipated that they will soon be releasing the Half Life 3 game.

The current speculation was that the CEO was not confident enough to go with the game. He had stated openly in the past that there is no point for a third game if it does not contribute to the series. Gabe Newell had commented saying:

“The only reason we’d go back and do like a super classic kind of product is if a whole bunch of people just internally at Valve said they wanted to do it and had a reasonable explanation for why. But you know if you want to do another Half-Life game and you want to ignore everything we’ve learned in shipping Portal 2 and in shipping all the updates on the multiplayer side, that seems like a bad choice. So we’ll keep moving forward. But that doesn’t necessarily always mean what people are worried that it might mean.”

However, things now seem different, and it is expected that Valve would indeed be working on the Half Life 3 game soon. It is expected that this new effort is now towards building the game in a fully-VR environment, and it is likely to be shown off at next year’s E3 event. The release date, however, is not expected any time before the year 2018, which will commemorate 20 years of Half Life games.

Microsoft Slashes XBOX One Price Before E3 2016 – Now Selling At $299. Is an XBOX Slim Coming?

Jun 1, 2016 By

The E3 event, every year, is among some of the most popular names in the world of gaming technology. Major names in the world of gaming technology come together under one roof and make several announcements for the next year in the world of gaming. Microsoft has been a mainstay at the E3 event every year, and this year too, the company is expected to come out with some major announcements. Just before the E3 event the company has decided to slash the XBOX One prices.

The XBOX One price has now fallen down to $299. A 1TB variant of the XBOX One could now be purchased at as low as $319. However, with the E3 coming up, it is strongly recommended to wait for a little longer if you’re planning to buy a new XBOX, as Microsoft has been reported to come out with a new and improved variant of the XBOX device – the XBOX Slim.

Rumors of the XBOX Slim have been in the markets since a very long time, and they seem to be becoming true now more than ever before.

As per PC World, “Last week, both Kotaku and Polygon suggested that Microsoft may be working on a far more powerful successor to the Xbox One, due in 2017. Known as “Project Scorpio,” the next Xbox (the Xbox Two?) will be roughly four times as powerful as the current console, with about six megaflops of performance, according to Polygon.”

Many interesting things are happening in the markets of technology, and the XBOX One might soon be becoming a ‘previous-generation’ device, as Microsoft deep-dives into the markets of VR technology.

While it is highly unlikely that a new, VR compatible XBOX will be a part of the E3 events, a teaser or a talk about the same might actually happen. However, if at all an XBOX One Slim is ever going to release, it is going to be at the E3 2016.
