Netflix’s next TV gaming experiment will scare the hell out of you

-
Image
As part of the latest evolution of its gaming initiative, Netflix has made a big push into cloud-based games you can play on your TV , much in the same way you'd watch a movie or show on the service. So far, these games have been pretty tame. Things like trivia, party games, and a weirdly dated FIFA . But Netflix's next release goes in a completely different direction: It's an interactive horror experience that's gruesome, terrifying, and quite possibly the future of the company's gaming efforts. The new game is called Unhinged , and it launches on Netflix on June 30th. It's developed by Night School Studio, which is best known for the Strange … Read the full story at The Verge. source https://www.theverge.com/entertainment/953933/unhinged-netflix-horror-tv-game

Something’s off with Midjourney’s pivot to body scanners

-

A scan of an imaging phantom, segmented to validate how cleanly structures separate under controlled conditions. | Image: Midjourney Medical Last week, Midjourney, an AI startup best known for its image generator, made an unusual pivot : medical imaging. The company announced a futuristic ultrasound scanner that would dunk users into a vat of water and, hopefully, produce "something as powerful as MRI" yet "as casual as a trip to the spa." Midjourney says the goal is to help people live longer, better, and healthier lives. CEO David Holz has suggested the system could one day be better than MRI. Experts are skeptical. While several medical imaging specialists told The Verge they were not dismissive of the idea outright, they said Midjourney has shown little public evidence to su … Read the full story at The Verge. source https://www.theverge.com/report/954826/midjourney-medical-ai-ultrasound-body-scanner-lacks-e...

The Steam Machine is the most ambitious game console I’ve ever played

-
Image
My first day with the Steam Machine was a mess. Instead of enjoying a worry-free game console, I spent hours troubleshooting what felt like a finicky PC. That's because the Steam Machine is a PC, with a very important twist. Since the Magnavox Odyssey came out in 1972, game consoles have been built with the same basic goal: to effortlessly play proprietary games on a TV screen. Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft have spent decades essentially selling the same product. A few consoles could do more, but the formula you know and love remains buy box, plug into TV, insert game, play. The Steam Machine aims to be something bigger. It's a vision of a … Read the full story at The Verge. source https://www.theverge.com/games/952765/steam-machine-review

RingConn’s Lord of the Rings promotion assumes smart ring wearers want to be like Gollum

-
Image
Smart ring maker RingConn's marketing copy says Lord of the Rings' "enduring narrative highlights a simple but powerful idea: that meaningful transformation often begins with the choices we make each day. RingConn embraces a similar philosophy, believing that lasting change begins with everyday awareness and small, intentional decisions." Of course, the "intentional decisions" Frodo makes in Lord of the Rings include specifically not wearing the One Ring and (spoiler alert) tossing it into a volcano. That's not the idea behind RingConn's smart rings - much like Gollum, you're supposed to wear them 24/7. The Verge 's Victoria Song notes tha … Read the full story at The Verge. source https://www.theverge.com/gadgets/953655/ringconn-lord-of-the-rings

AMD releases FSR 4.1 upscaling for older graphics cards

-
Image
Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced will have support for FSR 4.1 on day one. AMD is officially launching FSR Upscaling 4.1 for Radeon RX 7000-series GPUs today. The update means that computers with those older graphics cards, which use the RDNA 3 graphics architecture, will be able to see improvements like better image quality and smoother gameplay in their games. AMD had promised in May that it would be bringing support for FSR 4.1 to the RX 7000 series GPUs - though at the time, it said that support would arrive in July, so AMD is a little ahead of schedule. AMD is also planning to bring FSR 4.1 to RDNA 3 APUs; AMD's Jack Huynh says that the company is "developing lightweight machine learning models to bring FSR … Read the full story at The Verge. source https://www.theverge.com/news/953664/amd-fsr-4-1-upscaling-rx-7000-series-gpus-rdna-3
