Following the June 6 reveal of Tetris Effect, PlayStation is continuing its countdown to E3 2018 with another announcement. This time, as promised, Sony has confirmed the release date of Worldwide Studios PS4 title Days Gone. The release date was accompanied by a brand new trailer which showcases the dark, gritty, wild animal and zombie-infested game world players will be facing. These will include the reveal of brand new PS4 and PS VR titles as well as a much-anticipated PS VR port. TechRadar w

BlackBerry Mobile is back with a new phone, and the evolution to the KeyOne is called… the Key2, and it’s dubbed the ‘re-imagination of an icon’. Confusing jump to numbers aside, the new handset combines a number of key upgrades that the brand says its previous customers were looking for. Check out our in-depth hands on: BlackBerry Key2 reviewThe main changes are to the design: the keyboard is now matte finished (and 20% larger), making it easier to type on, and the phone has a new, more robus

The firm’s new cases are the Silent Base 601 and 801, and there are no prizes for guessing that these are designed to make for a PC which keeps noise levels to a minimum. Also on the PC case front, Be Quiet revealed an updated flagship Dark Base Pro 900 Revision 2 case, with the modular full tower getting some useful tweaks. To round things off, Be Quiet also revealed a fresh generation of Shadow Wings fan. The Shadow Wings 2 sports a high-grade rifle bearing for silent operation, and fan blades

After facing mounting pressure to crack down on controversial content on its Steam gaming platform, Valve has announced that any and all content not deemed to be “illegal, or straight up trolling” will continue to be carried on the platform. Despite the negative media coverage this decision will no doubt continue to incur, Steam has something of a monopoly on the PC gaming market. The online platform dominates the sale and distribution of PC games, listing over 24,000 titles at the time of writi

So you get high quality DACs, two-channel and 7.1-channel analogue outputs, and high resolution audio support. This processor includes a 4K high precision edge-adaptive chroma processor, optimised for both BT.709 and BT.2020, and improved chroma upsampling. The Panasonic not only supports 4K discs and video streaming services, but can also upscale lower resolution content to 4K. Of course in order to choose the correct HDR Optimiser setting, it does rather depend on the user actually knowing the

In a somewhat unfortunate turn of events before E3, reports have emerged that the Xbox exclusive Crackdown 3 has been delayed again. Sources close to the project have reportedly said that the game, originally slated for a release this year, won’t be out until sometime next year. If the game has been delayed this could be a hard hit for the Xbox first-party lineup for this year. Regardless, a delayed but well-finished game is vastly preferable to a game pushed out before it’s ready. If there is a

The BlackBerry Key2 is being announced today in New York and we’ll bring you all the news as it happens. But if you want to see the event and can’t be there in person you can still tune into the livestream when it all kicks off at 10am EDT / 7am PDT / 3PM BST / 12am (June 8) AEST. BlackBerry will be streaming the whole announcement event on YouTube, and you can find that video below in this article – though if you’re reading this earlier in the day it won’t be live yet, so come back later.

Update: People have already started digging around in the new Android P beta, finding layout changes in the process. Google’s Android P beta just got more expressive in 157 ways thanks to the launch of the confusingly named Developer Preview 3 (Beta 2) today. The original Android P preview is just four months old and works with the Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL, OnePlus 6, and five other smartphones (with more planned to launch P betas). Here are the important new emojiSure, better battery life and app sh

Canon has taken the wraps off two new 70-200mm telephoto zoom lenses, the 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM, which replaces Canon’s flagship 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM, and a more enthusiast-focused f/4L optic. As you’d expect for a lens designed for pros, the 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM is resistant to both moisture and dust, and features fluorine-coated front and rear elements that allow for easy cleaning when on location. EF 70-200mm f/4L IS II USMThe EF 70-200mm f/4L IS II USM weighs in at 780g, and

With the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 reportedly set to launch early on August 9, the leaks surrounding the upcoming business-minded flagship have kicked into overdrive. Applying the maxim of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”, the supposed Galaxy Note 9 renders show a very similar handset to its 2017 predecessor — albeit with some minor design improvements. If the renders prove accurate, the inclusion of a fingerprint sensor would lend credence to the rumors that it may not get an in-screen fingerprint

PageUp, an Australia-based software company, has today revealed that its IT systems were breached in late May of this year, potentially compromising the personal data of over 2 million customers worldwide. The company is responsible for producing cloud-based HR software for recruitment companies across 190 countries, including the US, UK, Australia and Singapore, and is used to manage employment within many major companies. While the full extent of the compromise is yet to be revealed, data such

Ongoing analysis of the sophisticated VPNFilter router malware, revealed by networking firm Cisco two weeks ago and thought to have infected up to 500,000 devices, has found the attack is potentially more dangerous to users than previously thought, and affects a much broader range of devices. The modular malware targets networking equipment such as home and small-business routers, NAS boxes and network switches, and has now been discovered on devices from ASUS, D-Link, Huawei, Ubiquiti, UPVEL, a

ODMs are original design manufacturers that provide PC designs for other vendors to brand and use, so you can see how this could spark a fresh influx of Alexa-toting laptops. They will join the models already being pushed by Acer, Asus, Lenovo, and HP which we heard about at the start of the year (indeed, Acer is already shipping Spin notebooks with Amazon’s digital assistant pre-installed). All these products are built to deliver a full ‘far-field Alexa experience’ complete with appropriate mic

Sonos has just announced the Beam, a small soundbar that has voice assistant support. The Beam is smaller than both the Sonos Playbase and Sonos Playbar, helping it squeeze into places that other soundbars and soundbases can’t. Sonos Beam will support TruePlay, the room calibration developed by Sonos to help sound fill the room, as well as speech enhancement for TV shows and movies and night mode to help keep the sound lower late at night. At launch, the Sonos Beam will support Amazon Alexa but,

The countdown to E3 2018 is well and truly underway for Sony and PlayStation. The first announcement has come and it’s a brand new PS4 and PS VR game: Tetris Effect. According to the official website, the game can be played on PS4, PS4 Pro and in PS VR, with PS VR players enjoying 3D visuals while Pro players get 4K and 60 fps. Sid Shuman who announced the game said that this countdown is PlayStation’s way of trying something new. E3, he said, is “changing” and “evolving”, becoming much more tha

The new Parrot drone clearly has its sights set directly on the DJI Mavic Air, another 4K drone that folds up for easy transport. The drone features a 4K HDR camera with 2.8X lossless zoom, so you can hone in on whatever you’re filming from high in the sky. The Parrot Anafi camera has another trick up its sleeve in the form of a gimbal, which tilts the sensor 180-degrees vertically. For a closer look at the Parrot Anafi 4K drone, check out the gallery below! The drone’s price is $699 / £649, les
