New Apple products coming in October 2021 - Macworld UK

After a quiet summer (something we complained about at the time), Apple hit the ground running in September, blasting out two new iPads, a new Apple Watch and the iPhone 13. Hey, two out of three ain't bad.

Rather than resting on its milled-aluminium laurels, Apple is expected to continue the launch fiesta this month. Here are the products we expect to appear in October 2021.

When will Apple hold its next event?

First things first: when are the launches going to happen? October, yes, but when exactly?

Nothing's been officially announced just yet (which probably rules out anything in the first week of October), but we've got a theory. Based on the timings of an AirPods promotion Apple is currently running, we think Tuesday 12 October is a likely bet.

Read our regularly updated guide to Apple's October 2021 event for the latest leaks and rumours, however.

AirPods 3

We've got some idea of when to expect Apple's announcements, then, but what will the company tell us about? Let's start with the long-overdue AirPods.

This was the one we got wrong in our September predictions piece, but the reasons we expected it then are still as true as ever. If anything there is even more urgency for Apple to update the AirPods, which are one of the company's most successful ever products yet haven't been refreshed since March 2019. It's bizarre, really.

There are some plausible reasons for the long wait, including production difficulties caused by COVID and the seasonal considerations when launching a set of in-ear headphones, which make good Christmas presents. (It's also conceivable that Apple felt headphones would go down less well during lockdown, when we all had less reason to listen to music on the go.) But now, surely, the time is right.

The standard AirPods are widely tipped to get an updated design and feature set to bring them closer to the AirPods Pro. The 'stems' will be shorter, for example, and we may also get new silicone ear tips for better passive noise isolation (but not active noise cancellation, which will remain a Pro-only feature). The charging case, too, will look more like that of the AirPods Pro.

You can keep up with the latest info with our AirPods 3 news hub. But note that if you're interested in the next version of the AirPods Pro - which we don't expect until 2022, sadly - you should instead browse our AirPods Pro 2 hub.

14in MacBook Pro

The Apple Silicon revolution has won admiring reviews for the performance of M1-equipped Macs, but even now the Mac range is only partially upgraded to the new chips. Apple updated two of the 13in MacBook Pros with M1 processors in November 2020, but the other two were left as they were; even now, if you go to the 13in MacBook Pro section of Apple's website you'll see the option to buy models based on Intel chipsets.

But all good things come to those who wait, and we're hearing reports that Apple has big plans for those Intel MacBook Pros - plans that could involve a redesign and a bigger (likely 14in) screen. And of course one of Apple's own processors, quite possibly the rumoured M1X.

Read more about this exciting development in our new MacBook Pro 14in roundup.

Chances: 8/10

16in MacBook Pro

What of the larger MacBook Pro in Apple's stable? The 16in model is in even more need of attention, with no M1 options at all: it's Intel or bust, as far as Apple's premium laptop is concerned, and you're stuck with a rather elderly Intel chipset from 2018, astonishingly.

But here too we are hopeful of imminent news. An M1 (or M1X, or M2) chip will be the first priority when the next 16in Pro is announced, but the design is also expected to be spruced up, with the Touch Bar on the way out and MagSafe on the way back in. The laptop could get a smart new titanium case, too.

You can read the latest theories in our regularly updated MacBook Pro 16in news hub.

Chances: 8/10

Mac mini

The October event will focus on the Mac, so there's a chance Apple will find time to talk about the Mac mini, which like the 13in MacBook Pro is currently sold in both M1 and Intel flavours.

Rather than replacing the M1 mini that was launched last year, the next model will sit alongside it as a more powerful alternative. The old Intel mini will be quietly ushered out of the door at the same time.

As seems to be the theme in this roundup, the Mac mini could also get a redesign, with famed (if sometimes wayward) leaker Jon Prosser predicting that the 2021 model will be significantly thinner than the current one and feature a "plexiglass-like" top.

Chances: 6/10

What Apple won't launch

We've already mentioned the next version of the AirPods Pro, which won't be here until 2022. But there are other highly anticipated Apple products that are unlikely to grace us with their presence this side of Halloween.

The new iPad Air - the next cab on Apple's tablet rank, following updates to the other four iPads in 2021 - would be an unexpected arrival this month, since it would have fit in better with the other tablets announced in September. Supply-chain reports, in fact, suggest 2022 is more likely.

An updated MacBook Air (with mini-LED and, surprise surprise, a colourful redesign) and an all-new Mac Pro are both in the pipeline, but we suspect they won't be ready in time for the October launch. The Air is expected to launch in 2022, and a similar timeframe is plausible for the Mac Pro.

And finally, we have to dampen down speculation about Apple launching a new iPhone. With the iPhone 13 and siblings fresh off the conveyor belt the time is obviously wrong for the iPhone SE 3 to make its debut, but readers always ask, so there you go. I won't promise to shave my eyebrows, but it's a long shot, let's say.

Bluepoint Wants to Make Original Games

Demon's Souls was only released last November, and while Bluepoint isn't officially announcing its next game, Thrush explained that the studio is aiming to work on original content going forward. No exact details about what the "original content" Bluepoint is working on will be, so it remains unclear if it is a new game that is part of an existing IP, or something new entirely.

Have you played Demon's Souls?

"Our next project, we're working on original content right now. We can't talk about what that is, but that's the next step in the evolution for us," Thrush said, noting that, even with remakes like Shadow and Souls, the studio was already partially creating original content. He explained how, really, the growth of the studio, both in the literal number of employees as well as types of projects, naturally leads to this next step, especially given the team's pedigree.

"The transition from remasters to remakes was to test ourselves and push ourselves harder for the next step," Thrush said, noting the team was at about 15 people during the production of the original God of War collection, right now is at about 70 employees, and grew to 95 people at its peak during Demon's Souls (with outsourcing work, too).

Demon's Souls PS5 Screenshots

"Our team is a very highly experienced team, the average experience among most people is about 15 years, and all of them come from original development. It's not like we're a bunch of developers that got trained up on making remasters and remakes. We have that original game development mindset in our hearts, and that's what we're now ready, finally ready with the support of Sony to push forward and show what we can do, and show what PlayStation can do," he said.

And though the potential is exciting for Bluepoint to be tackling its own game, don't expect to see it too quickly. The studio has had a surprisingly quick turnaround on its games, having worked on five PlayStation remasters or remaster collections and several ports over the last decade, while moving from remasters in 2015 to Shadow in 2018, and then Demon's Souls in 2020.

"When we're working on a remaster, on a remake, we're very, very fortunate and that we basically, the original team finishes the game, we get handed that game, and then we got to polish it for a few years," Thrush said, noting that that "polish" is, of course, a lot of work and original art and design in its own right.

"You're starting out with the blueprint, right? True original development, there's a blueprint, you execute on it, and then it's not fun and you throw it away and you start over. So yes, by definition, my default answer is going to be original development, of course, takes longer. It has to, otherwise, you wouldn't make a good game."

And given PlayStation's recent commitments to being willing to delay games to let teams achieve their vision on a reasonable schedule, Hulst says that will be true for whatever Bluepoint and Sony's various other studios make.

"It's always about making quality games in a way that's sustainable for the teams, for the individuals on the teams. Because obviously when we acquired team like Bluepoint, this is a long-term play for us, right? We're not in it to get some quick results," Hulst said, explaining that, in short, recent delays of games like Horizon Forbidden West and God of War Ragnarok

aren't cause for concern.

"We're very happy actually with development progress that I feel good about the decision that we made there [with Horizon and God of War]. And it's very much the mindset that it's people first. We are a people business. Everything we do is about the developers, their health, their creativity, their wellbeing."

Why PlayStation Acquired Bluepoint, and Why Bluepoint Wanted to Be Acquired

Though PlayStation and Bluepoint have been working together for years, Bluepoint has remained independent all that time. That has now changed, of course, and Hulst and Thrush explained why the two decided to make the merger official and bring Bluepoint under the PlayStation Studios banner. And it largely came down to wanting to make that working relationship as beneficial to both sides as possible to let the studio produce its best work.

"Bluepoint is now in a place where there's hardly an entity imaginable that knows PlayStation better than they do, because they've worked with so many different teams on their respective, iconic franchises that they've had a developer insight in a wonderful way," Hulst said, explaining that he let the team finish up Demon's Souls before discussions really began about the acquisition.

"We've expressed that probably better together, making sure that Bluepoint can focus on their games, can focus on what they do best, making amazing worlds, wonderful character development, and make use of all the resources that we have got to offer," Hulst said.

And from Thrush's perspective, the two sides have worked so well together, making the acquisition happen really just allows them to continue doing so without any red tape getting in the way.

"We've loved working with PlayStation all these years. There's really nobody else we want to rather work with, so we started talking to these guys and it just happened to work out," Thrush explained. "And now our future is extremely bright. As Hermen was saying, we have all these opportunities ahead of us. We have all the Sony support. We don't have to grow to become a gigantic studio. We have lots of helping hands on the Sony side now that can fill in for any gaps and maintain our studio culture."

As for when the deal came together, Hulst explained that talks largely occurred after Demon's Souls was released, so that the team could keep its focus on delivering that PS5 exclusive. The two sides saw eye to eye on why the acquisition would be beneficial and, to put it simply, it allows Bluepoint, and Thrush as the studio's president, to focus more on creating the experiences they want to and not have to worry as much about the security of the team as a whole.

"I've also in my past run an independent studio, and I realized that the amount of work you need to do, even when you have close partnerships, on business acquisition and making sure you hedge your bets, there's a lot of energy that goes into that," Hulst elaborated. "I know that if we take that off of Marco's plate and let him focus on what he wants to focus on with his team... then I think that's good for both parties. It's good for them because they get to do what they love most, and it's great for us because there's even more focus by Bluepoint on what we want. And that is amazing content, amazing games to come out of Blueprint."

Thrush echoed this sentiment, noting the opportunities the studio has had for past games, like the ability to hire the London Symphony to score Demon's Souls, or being able to rely on other PlayStation assets, such as already established motion capture studios and more.

Every IGN PlayStation First-Party Exclusive Review

And though PlayStation has been on a bit of an acquisitions spree lately - Firesprite, Nixxes, and Housemarque have all also been acquired as first-party studios this year - Hulst explained Sony's recent approach is born from a desire to let these teams do their best work with the resources of PlayStation at their disposal.

"The way we look at our group of studios, and we now have 16 internal teams as part of PlayStation Studios, is very much the way we look at our games. It needs to be right, it needs to fit what we're about in qualitative terms, it's got to be the right games. Same with the teams. The teams stay have to have a very collaborative mindset," Hulst said. "They need to be quality-oriented. We're not buying teams to just be bigger. We're only buying teams because we feel that together, we're going to make something that is going to be even better than if we did it separate from one another."

PlayStation isn't necessarily going to stop looking at potential acquisitions, Hulst explained, but they need to be studios that both share the same values, and can expand what's offered to PlayStation players.

"We are open always to building new relationships or bringing people in-house, but only if we adhere to the quality-first mentality and the right kind of innovative content, new experiences, diverse experiences. Because all of these teams, they share a lot, but they're also very different from one another, and that's what I really like," Hulst said. And I think that's what the PlayStation audience, the PlayStation fans, deserve, it's that diverse slate of games coming out of PlayStation Studios."

Destruction All-Stars studio reportedly working on new Twisted Metal game - Eurogamer.net

To coincide with new TV Series.

Lucid Games, the developer of Destruction All-stars, is apparently working on a new Twisted Metal game.

That's according to a report by VGC, which claims that the UK studio has started early development on the new title.

The report also suggests the game will be built around a free-to-play model, in part because of Destruction All-Stars' release as a PlayStation Plus title.

The game's release is set to coincide with an upcoming TV series in 2023.

The TV series was announced back in May 2019 and is being developed by Sony's PlayStation Productions movie and TV studio.

Destruction All-Stars had a lukewarm response, but Lucid Games now has a long history of developing racing games, which gives us a sense as to why PlayStation has entrusted its development to the studio.

What are your thoughts on the series' revival?

Video: Want More Switch OLED Comparison Footage? Feast Your Eyes On This - Nintendo Life

With Nintendo's Switch OLED console just around the corner, more and more of the things have been popping up in the wild. Just last week the world's first unboxing video appeared, followed shortly afterwards by the first comparison video, and now we have yet another look at the OLED sitting next to the original system.

This latest footage comes from YouTuber Kevin Kenson, who's somehow managed to get his hands on a retail version of the system a couple of weeks ahead of its official release. In it, we get to see how the OLED's screen really helps bright colours to 'pop' and those darker colours to stay truly dark – deep blacks have never looked so good on a Nintendo portable.

Kenson mentions that WarioWare: Get It Together! is particularly great for showcasing bright colours on the new screen, while Undertale is ideal for checking out the perfect blacks. In the middle, and perhaps one of the games you might want to try first if you're buying the OLED next month, is Hades, which blends both bright and dark colours throughout.

Interestingly, Kenson also takes a moment to address the concern that the OLED system will suffer from a 'worse' image thanks to offering the same resolution as the original model, but stretched across its larger display. He explains that the difference is tiny, with the optimum viewing distance hardly altered, and that you needn't be worried about noticing the issue while playing.

Want more on the Switch OLED? Here's what we thought when we went hands-on with the system ourselves.

Kratos Voice Actor Christopher Judge Says He Is the Reason God of War: Ragnarok Was Delayed - IGN - IGN

Christopher Judge, the voice behind Kratos in 2018's God of War and the upcoming sequel, has said that his surgery was the reason that God of War: Ragnarok was delayed from its original 2021 release window.

Judge shared this story on Twitter following God of War being crowned the champion of IGN's Best Video Game of All Time Bracket. He Quote Tweeted a Tweet from God of War's engineering lead Jeet Shroff that was responding to the victory and he then continued to thank the fans and send love to his God of War family.

"Thank you to all the fans. Not just of GofW, but to the gaming community," Judge wrote. "ALL OF OUR GAMES,have been a lifeline during these difficult times. To my GofW family, I will NEVER be shy about telling you how much I love all of you! We will continue to laugh, cry, and be great!"

Have you played God of War?

An hour later, he revealed the news that God of War: Ragnarok, which was revealed at September 2020's PlayStation 5 Showcase with a release window of 2021, was delayed to 2022 because of him.

"[100%] in my feels right now," Judge continued. "I need to be forthcoming. This has been approved by no one. To the beloved fandom, Ragnarok was delayed because of me. August 2019, I couldn’t walk. Had to have back surgery, both hips replaced, and, knee surgery. They waited for me too rehab.

"No threats, no , 'who do you think you are?' Nothing but love and support. And @SonySantaMonica has never said a word about the delay, and what caused it. Studios are assholes, but this company from top to bottom, should give us hope.

"What they did for the crew is way more… That I can’t talk about, but I’ve said to all involved, [it is the classiest] thing that ive EVER heard about in this business. Everyone involved in the GofW franchise puts their hearts and souls in every frame you see. I want thank everyone that’s has allowed me to play… And laugh, and love, and cry, without judgement, but with unconditional support and love, in this thing of ALL OF OURS"

Judge ended by also revealing that he quit after he was told that Cory Barlog would not be directing the sequel and that Eric Williams would be taking his place. However, Barlog quickly eased his worry and Judge would go on to realize that "ERIC WILLIAMS is a mortherf***** BEAST!!!"

"Last thing. Barlog told me @Tribeca that he wouldn’t be directing sequel," Judge said. "I quit.(no joke) he said, do you trust me?(yes) He said Eric is a beast. I said he better be… UPDATE, ERIC WILLIAMS is a [motherf*****] BEAST!!!"

Barlog responded to Judge's Tweets by saying, "would walk through a thousand fires for you, my friend." As if that wasn't enough, he also included a gif of The Lord of the Rings' Aragorn saying, "You have my sword."

For more of God of War: Ragnarok, check out Barlog and Williams' thoughts on Ragnarok changing directors and why Williams was decided as the right choice, how this sequel will further Kratos and Atreus' story, and why this game will be the final entry in the Norse Saga.

Nintendo issues denial on new 4K Nintendo Switch report - Eurogamer.net

Nintendo has issued a denial on a new 4K Nintendo Switch report.

Last night, Bloomberg (paywall) reported at least 11 companies, including Zynga, have "tools" from Nintendo to make 4K Switch games.

The report goes on to say these companies have a 4K development kit for the Switch, and that this so far unannounced 4K Switch won't come out until late next year at the earliest.

Could a next-gen Switch really deliver 4K DLSS? Here's Alex Battaglia with our video breakdown.

It wasn't long after the report went live that Nintendo issued a statement denying it. Here's the statement in full:

"A news report on Sept. 30, 2021(JST) falsely claims that Nintendo is supplying tools to drive game development for a Nintendo Switch with 4K support. To ensure correct understanding among our investors and customers, we want to clarify that this report is not true.

"We also want to restate that, as we announced in July, we have no plans for any new model other than Nintendo Switch - OLED Model, which will launch on October 8, 2021."

Nintendo is of course preparing to launch the OLED Nintendo Switch on 8th October, and is no doubt keen to train attention on that. For more, check out Martin's hands-on impressions of the Nintendo Switch OLED.

We also want to restate that, as we announced in July, we have no plans for any new model other than Nintendo Switch ? OLED Model, which will launch on October 8, 2021. (2/2)

Bloomberg also carries a statement from Zynga denying it has a 4K Nintendo Switch dev kit.

"To clarify, Zynga does not have a 4K developer kit from Nintendo," Zynga said.

So, what's going on? Bloomberg said the OLED Nintendo Switch was meant to contain a faster chip from Nvidia that would have enabled 4K, but "the 4K capability didn't come to pass". Bloomberg doesn't know when the design changed, it said, but a source indicated the reason for the change was "component shortages" sparked by the pandemic. Bloomberg said Nintendo had already sent 4K Switch dev kits out by July.

Have Nintendo's plans for a 4K Switch changed? If so, its statement issued this morning holds true. Indeed, Bloomberg says "Nintendo could still decide to not release a 4K Switch". This one sounds very much up in the air.

For now, it's worth checking out Digital Foundry's In Theory: is 4K DLSS really viable for a next-gen Switch Pro? article to get an idea what this mythical console may be capable of.

Another OLED Unboxing Has Surfaced - And This One's From Nintendo - Nintendo Life

Following on from the world-first Nintendo Switch OLED unboxing, and then the first Nintendo Switch / OLED comparison, we've now got Nintendo's own "official" unboxing of the new model, courtesy of Nintendo Minute's Kit and Krysta.

Obviously, this isn't the unboxing you should watch if you want an unbiased review, but it's pretty professional all the same, albeit basically a glorified press release. The hosts take out the screen and the Joy-Cons, commenting on the screen going "all the way to the edge" and how "different" it is, making sure to mention that the OLED is "bright".

Nintendo Unboxing OLED — *Image: Nintendo*

There's not much more to say about the OLED without turning it on, except for the "soft white" of the Joy-Cons, but they take the time to highlight the "different shape" of the power button and the new, larger kickstand that has a "good amount of resistance" no matter the angle, and plenty of sturdiness.

"You can definitely tell that it's new and different," they say, pointing out the new 64GB of memory and the rounded edges of the dock and its removeable back plate, and definitely not just reading off a list of features that they were told to mention.

The Nintendo Minute duo do not switch on the OLED. That's it for the eight-minute unboxing — at least, until the release of the OLED on the 8th of October, by which time Nintendo will have hopefully got up the courage to show us the screen in action themselves.

Google Maps readies Android homescreen widget w/ dynamic colors - 9to5Google

The latest addition to Google’s rapidly growing catalog of Android homescreen widgets is a handy search widget for Google Maps.

About APK Insight: In this “APK Insight” post, we’ve decompiled the latest version of an application that Google uploaded to the Play Store. When we decompile these files (called APKs, in the case of Android apps), we’re able to see various lines of code within that hint at possible future features. Keep in mind that Google may or may not ever ship these features, and our interpretation of what they are may be imperfect. We’ll try to enable those that are closer to being finished, however, to show you how they’ll look in the case that they do ship. With that in mind, read on.

Over the past few months, in anticipation of Android 12’s Material You overhaul — as well as the Pixel 6, which has extensively used Material You and widgets in advertising — Google has been adding a variety of homescreen widgets to their apps.

With the beta update to version 11.0 of Google Maps, rolling out now via the Play Store, there’s work being done to introduce a new homescreen widget. While it’s not currently available to use, our Dylan Roussel was able to manually enable the Google Maps widget to show it in action.

Similar in design to the recently added Chrome Quick Action Search widget, the Maps widget features a prominent search bar, with four shortcuts underneath, such as “Home,” “Restaurants,” “Bakery,” and “Groceries.” These suggestions appear to be the same as the row of options listed below the search bar in the main app.

Just as you’d expect, the widget can be resized freely, adding or removing shortcuts as you make it wider or taller. While significantly less useful, the widget is surprisingly adorable when downsized to 3 x 2. On Android 12, the widget adopts the colors of your wallpaper.

As an interesting side note, we’ve confirmed that the upcoming widget is currently poised to only arrive for devices on Android 11 or newer. Presumably, devices without Android 12 and its dynamic colors system will simply show the blue hues, as seen in the revamped Gmail.

Thanks to JEB Decompiler, from which some APK Insight teardowns benefit.

Secret Facebook 'rejection folder' holds all ignored friend requests - Metro.co.uk

5 ways to make Facebook slightly less terrible for your mental health — Have people been ignoring you on Facebook? Here’s how to find out (Picture Getty)

There’s a hidden folder deep within your Facebook profile dedicated to all the people who ignored you.

It’s where all your un-answered friend requests go and exists as a catalogue of all the ‘friends’ you could have had.

If only they’d chosen to accept your request.

Thankfully, once you’ve found this folder you can delete all the lingering requests and move on with your life.

There are a couple of different ways to find it, depending on whether you’re using Facebook through a web browser or with a mobile app.

Here’s how to track it down:

On the Facebook App

You're better off without them anyway (Getty) — You’re better off without them anyway (Getty)

Here’s how to find your list if you’re using the smartphone app.

First, go to the Menu option – the traditional ‘hamburger’ icon of three horizontal lines.
Then, tap on the Friends option. This will give you a list of both pending friend requests (the ones you’re ignoring!) and Suggested Friends based on who you know.
Tap on See All in the top right. Then, look in the top right-hand corner of the screen again and you’ll see three dots.
Tap the three dots and you’ll get a pop-up message saying ‘View Send Requests’.

This will show you just how many people have shunned your requests for digital friendship.

On the Facebook website.

If you’re using Facebook on a laptop or desktop, the process is much simpler.

First, log in to your Facebook account.
Next, go to this URL: facebook.com/friends/requests
Again, you’ll see your pending friend requests. However, by clicking on ‘View Sent Requests in the top left, you’ll see the same list.

What do I do now?

If you want our advice – delete the lot and reclaim your dignity.

Take heart from the fact you may not have been rejected by those you wanted to reach out to – they may just not check Facebook all that much anymore.

Poll: Vote For the Best Final Fantasy Game on PlayStation - Push Square

What's the best Final Fantasy game to ever grace a PlayStation console? This is the (rather demanding) question that we want you to answer. Below, you'll find a list of Final Fantasy games, both mainline and spinoff. We need you to rate the games that you've played, and these ratings will feed into a Final Fantasy ranking article that we'll publish in the near future.

But before we get into it, let's set the stage with a bit of an overview. Final Fantasy is easily one of the most recognisable brands in gaming. Square Enix's primarily role-playing series has been trucking along for over 30 years, and while it's certainly had its ups and downs, it continues to be a hugely successful franchise that captures the hearts of many.

Final Fantasy VII — originally released in 1997 for the PlayStation — is the game that sparked Final Fantasy's meteoric (pun intended) rise to mainstream popularitty. It was a title that helped define Sony's first console, and it introduced entire generations to the concept of Japanese role-playing games.

There was a time when Square Enix — then called Square, or Squaresoft — would launch a new, mainline Final Fantasy game every year or so, but that cycle has changed dramatically over the last decade. Like many Japanese companies, Square Enix hit something of a snag during the PlayStation 3 generation. Games were taking much longer to develop, internal costs were rising, and the hardware could be difficult to work with. Flagship titles like Final Fantasy XIII were delayed and at least partially rebooted multiple times, and Square Enix was struggling to find a foothold.

Since then, the publisher's managed to pull itself back together, and much more recent Final Fantasy projects, like the ridiculously popular Final Fantasy XIV and the long awaited Final Fantasy VII Remake, have put the series back on the map. It's fair to say that Final Fantasy is on the rise once again, even if strange spinoff titles such as Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin continue to raise an eyebrow.

Anyway, let's get rating, shall we? In the list below, we've included the most up-to-date versions of most Final Fantasy games. This means that Final Fantasy VII, for example, shows up as the PS4 port. Likewise, enhanced re-releases and remasters — like Final Fantasy VIII Remastered, Final Fantasy X HD Remaster, and Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade — are preferred over their original releases. We doubt that this detail will sway the voting process, but it's just something to keep in mind.

Now get out there and rate some Final Fantasy games!

What's your favourite Final Fantasy game? Let us know in the comments section below, and be sure to keep an eye out for our rankings article in the near future.

Amazon to offer New World players free server transfers as queue times balloon - Eurogamer.net

"We appreciate your patience…"

Amazon will offer New World players free server transfers in the next two weeks, with lengthy queue times blighting the MMO's hugely popular launch.

New World launched yesterday and peaked at 707,230 concurrent players - the fifth-highest concurrents figure ever seen on Valve's platform. At one point it was the most popular game on Steam, ahead of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

But this popularity has made for extremely long queue times - for some over nine hours - that has made New World practically unplayable for many customers. In fact, most of the game's negative user reviews on Steam are complaints about these server problems.

Amazon issued a statement overnight addressing the rocky launch, saying it's working to fix the problems.

"We are continuing to stand up additional servers and will expand the capacity of our existing servers once we have properly tested these changes," Amazon said.

Amazon also promised to offer free server transfers in the next two weeks in a bid to encourage players to seek out low population servers at launch.

"Our sole focus right now is to get everyone logging in and playing quickly," Amazon said.

"To ensure everyone can find an open world now, while also finding a home in Aeternum with their community long-term, we'll offer an opportunity in the next two weeks for all players to relocate their characters to a new server of their choice at no cost.

"We appreciate your patience as the New World community grows and encourage you to solidify your long-term server plans for you and your Company.

"Thanks for your support! We can't wait to see you in Aeternum."

Here’s how much the Google Pixel 6 could cost - XDA Developers

In just a few weeks, Google will finally lift the covers off the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. Ahead of the launch event, the company has shared quite a bit about its upcoming flagships. We’ve also learned several crucial details, including specifications and camera features, through various leaks. However, the pricing information has remained a secret so far. We expected Google to keep it that way until the day of the big reveal, but a new leak sheds light on what could be the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro’s price in Europe.

The leak in question comes from YouTuber M. Brandon Lee from the This is Tech Today channel. In a recent video, Lee reveals that Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro might be priced at €649 and €899, respectively. The pricing information comes from an unnamed source who works for a major cellular retailer in Europe. While we can’t corroborate these details at the moment, 9to5Google claims to have confirmed these prices with another source in Europe.

[embedded content]

Lee’s source has also revealed the black and green colorways of the Pixel 6 series are referred to as “carbon” and “fog” in the retailer’s system. Furthermore, the source claims that Google will announce the devices on October 19, and they will go on sale starting October 28.

It’s worth noting that the Pixel 5 launched at a starting price of €629 in Europe. If the pricing details mentioned above are accurate, the Pixel 6 would cost just €20 more despite offering several upgrades over last year’s model. The Pixel 6 Pro, on the other hand, would command a €270 premium, thanks to a host of additional features, like an extra camera, UWB support, a 120Hz LTPO display, and more.

Note that the European pricing for the Pixel 6 series likely doesn’t reflect how much it will cost in the US. The devices might be significantly more expensive across the pond since Google might offer mmWave support on the US models like last year.

Streaming Giant Netflix Acquires Its First Video Game Developer - Nintendo Life

There's been a lot of discussion in recent times about the streaming giant Netflix expanding into video games with its popular service and now it has announced its very first developer acquisition.

So, what's the company? It's Night School Studio - known for its debut game Oxenfree and also the upcoming release Oxenfree II: Lost Signals, en route to all platforms including the Nintendo Switch.

In a PR, Netflix's vice president of game development, Mike Verdu, said the company wanted to continue working with developers and hiring the best talent to deliver "exclusive games" to its members.

"We’ll continue working with developers around the world and hiring the best talent in the industry to deliver a great collection of exclusive games designed for every kind of gamer and any level of play. Like our shows and films, these games will all be included as part of your Netflix membership — all with no ads and no in-app purchases. Stay tuned for more."

Night School's founder, Sean Krankel, described the partnership as a "natural pairing" and mentioned how Netflix had shown "utmost care" for protecting the studio's culture and creative vision.

"Netflix gives film, TV, and now game makers an unprecedented canvas to create and deliver excellent entertainment to millions of people. Our explorations in narrative gameplay and Netflix’s track record of supporting diverse storytellers was such a natural pairing. It felt like both teams came to this conclusion instinctively.

"it’s a surreal honor to be the first games studio to join Netflix...The Netflix team has shown the utmost care for protecting our studio culture and creative vision."

Night School's latest project Oxenfree II: Lost Signals was previously teased at an Indie World presentation earlier this year, and is targeting a 2022 release according to a Switch eShop listing.

Apple says the iPad mini's 'jelly scrolling' problem is normal - Engadget

Shortly after the new iPad mini was released, people started complaining about seeing a weird "jelly-like" effect on their screens while scrolling. It appears as if one side of the screen scrolls at a different rate than the other, making it look like the screen is wobbling. Those who were hoping for a fix to the problem would probably be disappointed by Apple's response, because the tech giant has told Ars Technica that the device's screen wobbling problem isn't a problem at all.

A spokesperson told the publication that the jelly-like effect people are seeing is typical for LCD screens, because they refresh line by line. As such, it's normal for the lines at the top of the display to refresh at a different rate than the lines at the bottom. Ars Technica insists, though, that the effect is much noticeable on the iPad mini than it is on other 60Hz LCD iPads, including the latest entry-level model that was released with the mini. Further, there's a visible line dividing the screen in the middle when the tablet is in portrait mode.

It remains to be seen whether Apple would do something about this jelly scrolling effect in the future, considering people are airing complaints about it. For now, it looks the tech giant's stance is that it's par for the course for an LCD screen and that users will just have to get used to it.

Ring’s home security drone is one step closer to going on sale - TechRadar

How would you like an autonomous indoor drone that flies around your home and gives you a live, mobile feed of your house if it spots an intruder or emergency? What if it came from Amazon - a company notorious for privacy challenges?

At Amazon's latest gadget smorgasbord event on Tuesday in Seattle, the company finally opened up an invite list to get your hands on its home security drone, the Ring Always Home Cam. The device, which is the first of its kind from Amazon-woned company Ring, was first revealed to the public at last year’s Amazon event.

If you’re interested in getting your hands on the home security camera, which is the first of its kind and is priced at $249.99, you can request an invite at Amazon.com. However, if you live outside the US, it’s not possible to get yourself on the waitlist.

We spoke to Amazon and it couldn't confirm if the Always Home Cam would eventually be made available in other territories, such as the UK and Australia. However, it didn't rule it out completely.

"Internationalisation of all of our products and services is incredibly important. We are working hard to make all of the features and devices we’ve announced available everywhere our customers want them," it told TechRadar.

Unlike our current pick of the best drones, the Ring Always Home Cam can’t be flown manually, instead you create preset routes for the drone to move around the rooms in your home, so you can choose which areas of your property are protected with surveillance. However, this can come in handy if you’re forgetful and want peace of mind by checking whether you left a window open or the coffee maker plugged in.

Smarter than your average security camera

The Always Home Cam, which measures 7.48in x 7.48in x 5.43in, records color footage during the day at a resolution of 1440 x 1440, which means the video isn’t captured in Full HD. It also has a built-in LED, which Ring says is designed to illuminate the surroundings when recording at night or in low light. Many of the best home security cameras have built-in LEDS, and that ensures the video recorded at night in is color so we'd expect this to be the case with the Always Home Cam.

Ring says the Always Home Cam, which has a field of view of 120 degrees, can accommodate up to 50 different flight paths, each of which can be up to five minutes long - as this is the runtime of the rechargeable battery that power the security drone. However, the Always Home Cam can’t fly between different stories in a home. If you want to use the security drone of different floors, you’ll need a separate Always Home Cam for each floor.

As we’ve already mentioned, it is powered by a rechargeable battery, which Rings says will last for five minutes, before the security drone returns to its base station to recharge. Ring also confirmed the drone will never record footage when it’s docked in its base station.

To put the login issues players are experiencing in context however, it's maybe worth noting that New World is currently the most popular game on Steam, knocking CS:GO from its perch within hours of release.

Amazon announces Astro home robot that will guard the house and help with caregiving - Sky News

Amazon has created a home robot designed to guard the house as well as help with caregiving.

Named Astro, the device works with Amazon's Alexa virtual assistant to respond to voice commands and also syncs with Ring home security products.

Astro can set up routines and reminders, and also play music and TV shows while rolling around the house.

Its round digital eyes close or widen as it does tasks, giving it a human-like touch, and it uses cameras and sensors to avoid walls.

Snacks or fizzy drink cans can be placed on its back to be transported to someone across the house.

The technology giant has said it will release the robot to customers in the US later this year. It will cost $1,000 (£740).

Amazon's senior vice president of devices and services, Dave Limp, said the firm's latest gadgets were the "next big leaps forward" and showcased "science fiction becoming reality".

Industry expert Ben Wood, chief analyst at CCS Insight, said Astro was a "bold move".

"Unlike rivals such as Apple, Amazon is willing to bring highly experimental products to market and assess consumer reaction," he said.

"Amazon has shown it has the discipline to either evolve a product, as it did with the Echo, or abandon it, as it did with Fire Phone.

"The Astro robot follows other products including the Ring Always Home Camera - a mini-drone that acts as an indoor flying security camera - which are experimental and limited to the US market but take the company into new territory.

"Offering products resembling something from a science fiction novel positions Amazon as an innovative company in the eyes of consumers and investors.

"Furthermore, if it stumbles upon a successful category, it secures the first-mover advantage.

"There is also the added benefit that such a radical product will guarantee a slew of media coverage, albeit with the risk of a privacy backlash.

"Astro is a bold move by Amazon, but a logical step given its expertise in robots and desire to become more integrated into consumers' daily lives.

"When viewed as an Echo Show on wheels and given its synergies with Amazon's Ring products, you can see why the company feels it is a bet worth making."

However, Mr Wood warned the device would be a "lightning conductor" in the debate around privacy, adding Astro could be "the litmus test for convenience versus privacy".
