Gaming

If you've gotten into video gaming over the past year, you’re not the only one. The Covid-19 Pandemic kept a lot of us indoors, and many turned to new (and safe) hobbies to maintain proper social distance. Families, friends and new acquaintances have spent the past year connecting over new missions, exciting adventures and explorations of new worlds—and by the looks of it, the gaming industry is only growing. The Modern Gamer While you might think that only teenagers are hoping online to play, the data shows differently. In a recent survey, roughly 37 percent of gamers fall into the Gen X age range, followed by Millennials and Boomers, at 30 percent and 14 percent respectively. Surprised? Preconceived notions of who is and could be gaming are often inaccurate and can sometimes create a b...

We help you choose the right next-gen console. Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X / S have been released, and if you have not already decided, it's high time. A not very easy decision when both systems are good really good. To help you make a decision, here's a review of the strengths and weaknesses of Sony and Microsoft's latest wonders. Price and models Playstation 5 is released in two versions: with and without optical disc reader. The first, which is simply called Playstation 5, costs around SEK 6,000, and the discless, slightly narrower Playstation 5 Digital Edition is a thousand bucks cheaper. In terms of performance, they are identical, but only the more expensive one can run your old PS4 games on disk. Of course, this is also the case if you want to watch blu-ray movies or are thin...

The recently released Xbox Series X and S are affordable in terms of performance. But soon it may be much cheaper to play Xbox games on TV. Microsoft has plans to package its streaming service Xcloud as an app specially developed for TVs. - I think it will happen within a year. I do not think anything can stop us from doing that, says Xbox CEO Phil Spencer in an interview with technology site The Verge. Right now, Xcloud is available as an app for Android phones, and Microsoft is also looking at making a web-based version in order to circumvent Apple's strict rules for iOS. To be able to play on Android - which Ny Teknik, among other things, tested with good results over the 5g network - only a hand control and a Game Pass subscription are required. The same controller and subscri...

The new PlayStation 5 console from Sony has been anticipated by the gaming community for a very long time. 7 years after the release of PS4, it was obvious that the new console with updated design and internals was long overdue. The June 2020 online event hosted by Sony revealed a ton of new details about the PS5. First off, we finally saw the futuristic design of the console with white sides and black core - an object of the meme ‘outcry’ on social media. Not only that, but the company also revealed a lot of new titles that would come out exclusively for the PlayStation platform. Some of the honorable mentions were GTA V Enhanced Version, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, NBA 2K21, and many more. In short, the June event showcased why every console aficionado would want to buy the n...

Congratulations to Nintendo and their success console Switch! On December 31, 2019, 52.48 million copies of their flexible gaming machine had been sold. A welcome success after the difficulties with its predecessor Wii U, which stood at 13.5 million. Switch is thus about the 90s console SNES, which stopped at 49 million copies. It has nine million left to the NES (61.9 million). Nothing indicates anything other than Switch fixing it this year. The question is whether Switch can make it past the best seller Wii, which stopped at 101.6 million. And whether it is the Playstation 4 or the end of this one console generation: the PS4 has a three and a half year lead, and stands at a massive 106 million. However, the Xbox One may already be passed. Microsoft does not report any sales figure...

Sega has decided to move away from plastic-based packaging for its games, initially PC titles, and will instead claim, for example, Total War and Football Manager in recycled cardboard. The company tested this grip already last year with the latter series and only there they expected to save 20 tons of plastic. The new packaging is more expensive to manufacture but on the other hand is completely recyclable. This initiative is in line with Sega Europe's commitment to reducing the plastic waste and the ongoing work to implement environmentally friendly business practices, Sega Europe CEO Gary Dale writes in a statement to Games industry. At this stage, only PC titles are distributed in Europe, such as studios such as Relic, Two Point, Sports Interactive and Creative Assembly. As for c...

Playstation 4 Pro is a gaming console that received a lot of attention at launch in late 2016 and is today something of a niche console for a narrow group of users. The game console has 4K / HDR support but lacks Ultra HD Blu-ray support, is relatively expensive and few games take full advantage of the hardware. There are a few reasons why we find it difficult to recommend Playstation 4 Pro today. Especially with the Xbox One X as a (admittedly more expensive) heavy competitor from Microsoft. Here are some of the reasons why you should not buy a Playstation 4 Pro without investing in any of the other consoles today. Do you have a Playstation 4 Pro and disagree? Write a line and tell us your thoughts in the comments field? Or maybe you are going to buy the game console and have more q...

Do you love video games? Wondering which one is best? Here comes a comparison between a few different: Xbox Microsoft is the company behind Xbox. They have designed and marketed the video game console. The Xbox was released in the US in 2001. The first name on the console, during its development, was the DirectX box, which they later changed to the Xbox. What is different about Xbox compared to other video game consoles is that the Xbox has a network card and an IDE hard drive. It has now launched a new slim version of the Xbox, called the Xbox one S. It has more features and more power. Among other things, it has Bluray player capable of playing Ultra HD material. The new Xbox one S is 40% smaller, but that's one reason to buy that particular console. The new Xbox consoles a...

February reveal like they did for PS4 ”. So he thinks that the PS5 event is the worst kept secret in the gaming world, and that Sony w...
