In the most recent reports Yonhap News Agency in South Korea, Samsung is about to give up the production of Galaxy Note 7. What’s the story behind this decision? 

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 – it’s coming to an end

According to Yonhap News Agency, Samsung has decided to temporarily stop the production of Galaxy Note 7 for now. As Yonhap unveiled, this information was leaked by one of the partners of Samsung. This is no doubt the consequence of a series of unlucky reports involving the explosion of this pricey flagship. After various attempts of recalling and replacing the sold items turned out hopeless, at present, the South Korean government officially warns users not to charge or use Galaxy Note 7 on Airplanes.

The Galaxy Note 7, for such a long time before the incident, was one of the most expected phones in 2016. It was launched in early August with powerful assets, appealing features, expert cameras, and a distinctive design. At that time, this phone is believed to be a tough rival of iPhone 7 from Apple. However, as the phones kept exploding in different situations, all the anticipations bitterly became a huge disappointment.

After Note 7 scandal, people appreciated Samsung’s efforts to recall and replace ” fault” Note 7 in the global market, with the hope to save the company’s reputation. Bad luck Samsung, until now, there have been at least 4 more cases in which the “safe” Galaxy Note 7 got caught exploded again.

Galaxy Note 7 production stopped – a wise decision at last?

After a continuous accidents happened to the same flagship, Samsung is facing many problems, including a huge loss in their reputation. Is this temporary halt of the Note 7 production their last effort of stopping the situation to get worse? As the year-end season is coming soon, it’s time they shifted their focus in ensuring the quality of other products, like the upcoming Galaxy S8, don’t you think? S

Apple Siri is currently one of the most popular forms of artificial intelligence in smart devices. However, there have been new technologies that surpass this virtual assistant in terms of functions and helpfulness:  Viv and Google Assistant

New virtual assistant: Answering complex contextual questions in real time

Siri is a great invention. There’s no doubt about it. However, as technologies grow very fast, the lack of great innovation has made this virtual assistant out-dated. Though Siri is still the most popular one, its abilities are no longer the best in the industry. The fact that many core members of Siri development team have left Apple for other more promising companies also contributes to how slowly Siri evolves.

In fact, many of the former Siri development team members, including Siri co-creator, have taken part in creating Viv – a new virtual assistant. different from Siri, Viv is able to handle complicated real-time commands with multiple layers of meaning. For example, Viv can answer what the weather is in a specific place, in a specific period of time. Meanwhile, Siri can only show the current weather conditions.

Another virtual assistant better than Siri in terms of intelligence is Google Assitant. This assistant made a debut in May and now has been pre-installed in all Google Pixel/Pixel XL units. just like Viv, Google Assistant is capable of answering complicated questions in real time. Another wonderful function of Google Assistant is the ability to refer to the context. For example, you can ask this assistant for available restaurants nearby. You can even stop at a famous attraction and ask things about it without mentioning what it is!

Virtual assistant in smart devices: a new competition?

The debut of Viv and Google Assistant has started a new “battlefield” for smartphone manufacturers. While the race of hardware doesn’t seem to end, now there is a new competition in terms of software! Apple really has to step up in improving Siri or else this virtual assistant will be no longer the most popular one!

Silent Hills 2 is, without a doubt, among the best and classic games of the horror genre. One big factor contributing to its success is the monsters, as they have more to them than meets they eyes. Let’s take a deeper look at the Silent Hills 2 monsters!

Silent Hills 2 monsters: Personal demons are the scariest!

When James Sunderland, the main protagonist, arrives at Silent Hills, he found strange creatures roaming the streets. At first glance, they seem just like monstrosities we have to avoid or take down like in other games. However, there’s more to them. They do not resemble other monsters from any work of horror. Masahiro Ito, the designer, said that the team purposely designed the monsters to look like human from far, with the added strange postures and body angles. This serves to make a connection to players on a subconscious level as well. The game has succeeded in that aspect.

The monsters are are inspired by Francis Bacon’s art. What makes them so unique is that they tie in closely with the story. They represent the inner demons of the main character. For example, Lying Figures – faceless people wearing jackets of their own flesh, screaming in agony – represent Sunderland’s inner suffering. Another, Mannequins – feminine torsos with slender legs attached to them – represent his sexual frustration. The most notable is the Pyramid Head, which has become a trademark of the series. Pointy edges which suggest pain, on a human body, represent the protagonist’s desire for punishment – it makes perfect sense when you reach a point in the story.

Another thing that makes these creatures unforgettable is that they’re unique only to Sunderland. Interactions with other NPCs have hinted that they saw creatures too, but in different shapes, depending on their inner issues. At the start, we all sympathize with James Sunderland, because of his circumstances. However, the final act has made it clear that he had to come to Silent Hills to face his judgement for what he did, something he tried his best to hide and forget about. That is truly a masterpiece in story telling.

Silent Hills 2 monsters: A legacy unforgotten!

Silent Hills 2 has a deep and complex story that is unfortunately missing from games nowadays, especially in the horror genre. Everything has a purpose, and is linked closely to the story. Just by using common themes, it managed to shake your heart deeply, such as sex and death. We think about them everyday. Sometimes, he scariest monsters are inside our heads. The game has left such a mark on the horror genre, its legacy is too great that even now producers are trying to replicate the same success. It is a pity that Team Silent, the developer, has disbanded, so we may never get another story like that.

Many gamers thought that it wouldn’t happen, but it’s finally coming: Skyrim and Fallout 4 on PS4 is finally going to have mod support. However, there will be conditions!

Skyrim and Fallout 4 on PS4 to finally have mod support – with conditions

Modding will be available to Skyrim first, with the Special Edition arriving on October 28. With the 4K rendering capability of the PS4 Pro, expected to be released in November, this feature promises great visuals for the said game. However, modding will have conditions – you can’t use external assets with PS4 mods. This will just be minor annoyances, since most mods works this way as well.

Bethesda, the company behind Skyrim and Fallout series, has gladly announced that the combined effort of the company and Sony has led to this outcome. Earlier this year, it is revealed that Sony had indeed blocked Bethesda om providing mod support on the PS4, creating some heated dispute. Despite all that, both parties managed to sit together to find a solution, and they eventually came up with one. And it is certainly one solution that gamers will welcome with open arms.

Regarding Fallout 4, Bethesda said that updates with modding and PS4 Pro support will once everything with Skyrim is set. The company has high hopes for this game, expecting it to fully utilize the PS4 Pro capabilities with 4K rendering, enhanced lighting and graphics. One more game to look forward to when the PS4 Pro goes on sale!

Bethesda and future mods on PS4

This is just the beginning, but Bethesda has given gamers hope for a better future on the PlayStation platform already. Contrary to PC and Xbox, this is the first time modding is present on the Sony’s exclusive console (earlier this year, mods have been available for Fallout 4 on PC and Xbox One). Mods were, are, and will be an important of Bethesda’s games. With this move, gamers can truly hope for better experience on both PC and consoles.

In a recent community update, Overwatch’s director Jeff Kaplan has revealed many new information. There are news about fixes and patches, as well as Overwatch new heroes coming up soon. Let’s have a look!

Overwatch new heroes to come soon: The statement from the developer

According to the updates, there will be some important changes made to the hero shooter game soon. Director Jeff Kaplan said that there will be some changes regarding some current heroes such as Widowmaker and Junkrat. Also, one piece of big news was also dropped by the man himself: the inclusion of two new heroes in future updates, with one possibly coming very soon! This has left the gaming community of Overwatch with excitement.

Kaplan revealed that some of the changes are already in testing. Those include an increase in Widowmaker’s scope speed, and Genji can no longer dash through Junkrat’s trap without taking any damage. Players can also use Junkrat’s ultimate skill much quicker too, since the charging time is reduced. These changes are expected to put more balance on the game.

Another hot topic among Overwatch community is the changes made to Symmetra. The game director also revealed that these changes will take a bit of time, unlike with Widowmaker. He left it open that there could be a complete overhaul for the champion as well. That means changes could be applied to her visual design, or her gameplay mechanics, or both. Last but not least, bout the gamers’ request that Symmetra has more healing abilities, the developer said that they are not going to explore the possibility of her as a healer. This may not be pleasant for many gamers, but the choice has been made.

Overwatch new heroes to come soon: More excitement coming!

Overwatch has been very successful for Blizzard. One part of that is thanks to the continuous updates Blizzard has made to balance the game and make it more enjoyable to the players. So, with this news about the new heroes coming and changes to be made soon, there are a lot of potential for the game to grow even more. Are you excited about the future contents of Overwatch?

League of Legends, as we all know, comes with a big collection of heroes (or champions, as we call them). However, to have such a big roster, some initial heroes have been cut before the game officially came. Let’s have a look at some of the cool unfortunate League of Legends champions!

1. CeeCee, the Hextech Engineer

Originally, she was designed to be a support character. With her giant mechanical workbench, she can fend off incoming attacks and make the first move in fights for her AD carry (physical damage units that get so strong late in the game if buffed right). Her first concepts were created when Riot Games wanted to improve the role of supports in the game. The goal was to make a unique support hero who can do more than heal, provide buffs, and inflict status effects to help the AD carry.

However, as development went on, the shield concept became the main focus. Eventually, Riot scrapped the engineer concept and started to develop a shield wielding hero. In the end, another hero replaced her, with the name Braum, and CeeCee’s concept was put in the drawer ever since. Such a promising, yet unfortunate hero among the ranks of League of Legends champions!

2. Mardok, the Fisher of Souls

A long time ago, this hero was he archaeologist Dr. Mark Strauss. The unfortunate explorer vanished on an expedition in the caves of South Arden. The subject of his research, the dark energies, warped him and made him an undead. He was stripped off of his flesh, leaving him a walking skeleton with yellow-glowing eyes. Only a shell of his former self, now he lives only to collect life sources of other creatures. Although this hero never made it, he inspired the creation of another hero, Fizz, who used Mardok’s concept ultimate.

3. Seth, the Sand Mage

As the name suggests, this hero’s abilities revolve around the manipulation and control of sand and dust. He can cast spells and receive buffs as long as he is near sand. This means that he cannot deal consistent damage. In the end, Riot Games designers decided to go with  command/emperor concept and came up with Azir. Azir then came on to replace Seth in the official game.

4. Omen

A four-legged monster, with sharp teeth and spikes on his back and tail, this concept looked promising to be an official hero later in the game. However, Omen was later removed, simply because Riot Games didn’t have a clear direction for him at the time. They couldn’t decide Omen to be a melee or range DPS hero. They were also undecided on the style of the ultimate move as well. So, in the end, although Omen’s development has already gone halfway, the unfortunate hero remains in limbo, and later Riven was chosen.

5. Ao Shin

Since official release, players have asked Riot Games for a dragon hero. That is truly an interesting concept, and Riot Games wasted no time to create such a hero among the ranks of the League of Legends champions. It seemed as though fans’ wish was granted, when Ao Shin was teased in the support comic and concept arts. But his development was held back and delayed multiple times because of production difficulties. However, Riot has confirmed that Aurelion Sol is Ao Shin’s successor, thus bringing the whole story to an end.

Unfortunate League of Legends champions that never came
