I had the opportunity recently to sit down with Warhorse Studios' Tobias Stolz-Zwilling, PR Manager and Martin Ziegler, Technical Designer to talk about their upcoming game,Kingdom Come: Deliverance, a historical, open world RPG with a heavy focus on realism and player choice. We have had several opportunities to experience the game first hand and have always come away highly intrigued with the game’s potential. FL: How is the game development progressing and when do you anticipate releasing?...

Writer-directorJames Gunnis currently working on the script forGuardians of the Galaxy 2, but the filmmaker recently took a break from his busy schedule to host a Q&A session on hisFacebook pagelast week, where he teased new details regarding this highly-anticipated sequel. Be warned, though, if you have not seenGuardians of the Galaxyyet, there will be SPOILERS throughout the story, so read on at your own risk. At the end ofGuardians of the Galaxy, the tree-like creature Groot (voiced byVin Diesel) appeared to have died, only to “come back” in the form of a growing “Baby Groot,” whose dancing scene shown over the end credits remains one of the most popular scenes in the film....

It hasn’t been all that long sinceMicrosoftofficially announcedthe next major update to its wildly popular Windows desktop operating system. WithWindows 11, the company is welcoming a lot of big changes to the mix, some major polish across the UI, and much more. And support is in the works formacOS, too. But not from Microsoft, obviously. That would be awkward. (Though, quite the bold step, Microsoft!) No, support for Microsoft’s competing desktop OS on Apple’s computer’s is in the works from a different company altogether....

Hacker andunc0verlead developer Pwn20wnd shared some reassuring comments with thejailbreakcommunity via Twitter Thursday afternoon, elucidating that Cydia as a package manager wasn’t dead and that third-party developers besides Saurik (such as team unc0ver’s Sam Bingner) can still maintain it. If you didn’t already know, the Cydia package manageris open source, which means that anyone can view its source codeand update the softwareso long as they adhere to the license: Cydia Substrate, on the other hand,is not open source, andjudging from Saurik’s Tweetstorm last Friday, it doesn’t seem like he has any intention of open-sourcing it in the future due to its complexity, among other things....

In the closing comments of our review of the base game last August, we spoke of genuine hope that developer Gunfire Games could build onRemnant: From the Ashes. A game whose take on shooter-orientated, action RPGs delivered an impressively solid-though-flawed foundation. Whether it was the satisfying gunplay or the sheer marvel that procedurally-generated “campaigns” could work surprisingly well in this structure – the latter point, on its own, enough a justification for this game’s recommendation more so than the obvious attraction that was its emphasis on challenge and difficulty....

A long time ago in a PC with laughable specs by 2020 standards, “Serious” Sam Stone went up against the forces of all-powerful invader Mental. The story began in the middle, with Sam dropping into ancient Egypt through a time portal, and at the time the assumption was that Earth’s scientists had sent him back. That wasn’t quite right, as Serious Sam 3: BFE revealed, taking place just before the events of the very first game and ending with the moon being dropped on Earth as Sam went back in time....

When Samsung announced the Galaxy S10 Lite, a lot of people stopped for a double take. Surely theGalaxy S10ewas already a “lite” model, so what on earth is the S10 Lite and why make it in the first place? As it turns out, the Galaxy S10 Lite could be Samsung’s most appealing phone of 2020. That’s not to dismiss the Galaxy S20 family, with various eye-catching specs, but as this phone offers flagship grade hardware and performance (albeit from 2019) at half the price ofthe S20+, there’s reason to take this Lite phone very seriously....

As well as theSamsung Galaxy S10range and foldable phone, theGalaxy Fold, Samsung unveiled a new power accessory during its Galaxy Unpacked event tonight. And we have some pictures of them both right here. Found and originally posted byWinFuture, the leaked images served as a teaser for the real deal Samsung launched officially. The Wireless Charger Duo Pad is similar to theone released last year, except the pad on the left doesn’t double as a stand....
