Kotaku reports that sources have informed them that arguably one of the PS4’s best exclusives, Horizon Zero Dawn, may soon be coming to PC. The sources in question wish to remain anonymous, but Kotaku’s Jason Schreier identifies them as “three people familiar with Sony’s plans.” The information gathered from those sources seems to suggest Horizon Zero
The streaming service field is becoming more fractured, as more and more media companies break from Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu in favor of creating their own streaming services. While Disney’s Disney+, HBO MAX, and Apple’s TV+ may be the most talked-about right now, NBCUniversal—the Comcast Corp. division that owns NBC, MSNBC, USA, and the Universal Pictures movie studio—is
Cyberpunk 2077 will be CD Projekt Red’s first game outside The Witcher universe, and its first foray into science fiction. Based on the Cyberpunk series of tabletop games, it is, as its name suggests, inspired by the pioneers of the cyberpunk subgenre – namely William Gibson and Bruce Sterling. We can, therefore, expect plenty of cyborgs, AI, benighted cities, and

We’ll be getting an Atlanta Season 3. It’s just going to take a while. Donald and Stephen Glover’s brilliant, Faulkner-esque series, Atlanta, has been a big hit for FX in some untraditional ways, evidenced by the network’s preemptive order last year for Season 4, which was made while Season 3 stood unproduced. Anecdotally speaking, it feels like
Animorphs holds a special place in the heart of many children who grew up in the ’90s.The sci-fi war series centered on a group of teens fighting off an invasion of alien space slugs (who could take over your mind) by morphing into animals. The series was great fun but also didn’t shy away from
Rebellion Studios is one of the most unique studios in the industry today.

Paramount Network knows a good Kevin Costner when it sees one. Variety reports that Paramount Network has picked up the Kevin Costner-starring series Yellowstone for season 3. Yellowstone season 3 will feature 10 episodes, just like season 2. Formerly Spike TV, Paramount Network was in dire need of a hit at launch. A prime candidate seemed to
When you first hear that a massive company like Sony is skipping E3 in a year when it is launching a new console, it’s natural for your first reaction to be one of rampant skepticism. Has the PlayStation team lost its collective mind? Or has E3 really gone to the dogs? It’s all too easy
Our modern lifestyle would be immensely different without rechargeable batteries. Owing to their low-cost, recyclable technology, these batteries are used in most portable electronic devices, electric and hybrid vehicles, and renewable power generation systems. And why shouldn’t they be? They offer an elegant solution to the world’s growing energy demands. Moreover, rechargeable batteries are an
Structural colors appear because the imprinted pattern on a surface changes the wavelengths of light. Chinese scientists have introduced an azopolymer that allows the imprinting of nanopatterns in a novel room-temperature lithographic process. A key aspect of the technique is the light-induced phase change of a novel azopolymer, explains the study published in the journal
Printed circuit boards are vital components of modern electronics. However, once they have served their purpose, they are often burned or buried in landfills, polluting the air, soil and water. Most concerning are the brominated flame retardants added to printed circuit boards to keep them from catching fire. Now, researchers reporting in ACS Sustainable Chemistry
This article contains nothing but Crisis on Infinite Earths spoilers. Well, they actually did it. The CW and Warner Bros. TV actually told a live-action version of Crisis on Infinite Earths that not only managed to touch on the vast majority of DC TV history, but even paid significant homage to the classic movies of
The Super Nintendo World theme park will seemingly eventually expand to include franchises other than Super Mario. At this time, the plan is for Super Nintendo World to open in Osaka, Japan sometime in July. Attractions revealed thus far include Bowser’s Castle, a Mario Kart course, and a lot of other things that all have
AUGUSTA, Ga. (Jan. 15, 2020) – A stroke appears to create a sticky situation inside the blood vessels of the brain that can worsen damage days, even months later, scientists report. They have found that after stroke, exosomes — nanosized biological suitcases packed with an assortment of cargo that cells swap, like proteins and fats
The Simpsons is celebrating yet another birthday. The first non-Christmas episode of The Simpsons, “Bart the Genius,” first premiered on Fox on January 14, 1990. The series had already run their Christmas special, “Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire” but this was their first non-holiday themed episode, and the show jumps right into their skewered reality
PlayStation’s decision to skip E3 this year is a critical one. With a next-gen console launch looming, the company has decided that it’d rather unveil the PlayStation 5 outside of the Los Angeles Convention Center, skipping the potential console war at the trade show altogether. PlayStation hasn’t outlined how it plans to lift the curtain
Graphene-based heterostructures of the van der Waals class could be used to design ultra-compact and low-energy electronic devices and magnetic memories. This is what a paper published in the latest issue of the Nature Materials journal suggests. The results have shown that it is possible to perform an efficient and tunable spin-charge conversion in these

Many of the most challenging optimization problems encountered in various disciplines of science and engineering, from biology and drug discovery [1] to routing and scheduling [2] can be reduced to NP-complete problems. Intuitively speaking, NP-complete problems are “hard to solve” because the number of operations that must be performed in order to find the solution
This Manifest review contains spoilers. Manifest Season 2 Episode 2 This week’s episode of Manifest began with some worrisomely stilted dialogue and built through a satisfying, self-contained passenger storyline to a conclusion that left us worried for Zeke, Olive, and Saanvi for completely different but equally compelling reasons. Upon reflection, the artificial-sounding conversations about callings
Nobody is entirely sure why, but it seems that you can no longer download Grand Theft Auto 4 via Steam. While GTA 4‘s Steam Page still exists, you may notice that it no longer offers the option to actually download the game. This change was seemingly made over the weekend when fans noticed that the
It’s often the first thing we notice about a vehicle, and it reveals a lot: how new (or not) the vehicle is, how it’s been cared for, where it’s been driven. “Consumers are extremely picky regarding the quality of the paint job on any car they purchase, new or old, and the 10- to 20-year
