Gran Turismo 6 is in development, will be released in the future

  • August 14, 2012

Sure enough, Gran Turismo 6 is in development. The world’s most famous driving simulator is also famous for its incredibly long release cycles. When asked about a potential release time frame, the GT’s creator, Kazunori Yamauchi said at the Gran Turismo 5 Asia Championship 2012 event that, “If I carelessly say when it will be released, you’ll end up with people saying things like ‘it’s been delayed again!?’ “So I will no longer say at this type of event.”

That’s all for now from Polyphony Digital. Via: Andriasang

Also, it has a range of 2,000 feet with the capability to hold 15 minutes of flight on a single charge.

Audi’s electric R8 e-tron completely owns the Nürburgring on video

  • August 9, 2012

You haven’t exactly seen electric sports cars worthy of fantastic styling, brand name, and speed, right? Enter the Audi R8, which just went around the key track for any high mark sports car — the German Nürburgring Nordschleife. It clocked a time of 8:09, about just a minute slower than the world’s most extreme production vehicles but only a few seconds off of the R8 equipped with its standard V8 engine. Check out the video after the break, or at the source link.

Brevity Review: Côte&Ciel Chromatic Zip Sleeve

  • August 9, 2012

Having just found this zippered sleeve from Côte&Ciel in the mail (among other things, but that is for another review) and I instantly started liking it. It’s flexible, so it could carry tablets that are not specifically iPads (which is what it was designed for) and costs only €39.00 which is roughly $47 USD while being water resistant (we tried that, it actually is). Only thing is that it has no extra pockets besides the main pouch.

But by not only being high-quality with a vibrant color selection — the sleeve seen here is in a grey melange — the Côte&Ciel Chromatic Zip Sleeve is also easy to hold (even though it has no handles) because of the dry but lightly textured fabric. It’s a great sleeve, despite being pricey.

The New Nikon 1 J2 camera is more of the same, which is rather boring

  • August 9, 2012

This may be a beginner system camera, but with a crappy small sensor (small sensor means worse photos), the updated Nikon 1 J2 camera isn’t really that much to take interest in. Yes, it’s cute, is $550, features interchangeable lenses and comes in red, but if you’re serious about taking nice photos, then don’t truly bother. The screen resolution has been doubled to 921,000-dots while introducing a super-slim 11-27.5mm lens, along with a “creative mode” that allows for some changes in the way you take your shots.

It comes out in September. Via: Nikon

Yes, Microsoft’s job listing page states the following: “Over the next eighteen months Microsoft will release new versions of all of our most significant products including Windows (Client, Server, Phone and Azure), Office and Xbox,” reads post. Other than that, Microsoft isn’t willing to budge one bit on the subject.

Non-gaming apps on Steam to be sold, starts September 5th

  • August 8, 2012

This is a major change to the Valve and Steam PC gaming scene. Starting September 5th, Valve will begin selling non-gaming apps alongside the already existing games on Steam. Apparently some of these apps are productivity apps and so on. As referenced from the company’s press release today:

“The 40 million gamers frequenting Steam are interested in more than playing games,” said Valve’s Mark Richardson in a press release. “They have told us they would like to have more of their software on Steam, so this expansion is in response to those customer requests.”

Apps will be submitted through Steam Greenlight, so if users vote on the apps, they’ll be added to the store. Seems interesting.
