Resident Evil 8, the preview

2020-06-12T11:26:00.000-07:00

Index Where did we stay? Again in the first person Certainties and Doubts It is a quiet and rainy evening. Not even as suddenly they announce Resident Evil 8 during the reveal event of PS5 and the internet explodes: not for the enthusiasm, not at least at least, that we admit it did not overwhelm us either, as for the flourishing of theories and analysis also following a message from the producers Tsuyoshi Kanda and Peter Fabiano. But let's go in order, what did we see? Virtually everything reported by the rumors in the past few months, a shame because it killed the surprise effect and rather highlighted a discreet hole in Capcom's security. Beyond this, taking advantage of what is shown in the presentation trailer and the indiscretions that have persistently followed one another for a few days now, Resident Evil 8 seems to be a remarkable change of course. Let's see why.

Where were we? This is a bit of a question anyone who tries to follow the Resident Evil lore with a little effort. We have already tried to group some of the incalculable fragments scattered by Capcom, first in conjunction with the release of Resident Evil 3 and then with the announcement of the remake of Resident Evil 4. When you don't know exactly where to start, the best solution is always the beginning and in this case: the plot of Resident Evil 8. On the official website opened shortly after the announcement it reports that "years after the tragic events of Resident Evil 7 Biohazard, Ethan Winters has started a new life with his wife Mia, leaving the past behind and savoring peace. Until one day the legendary hero Chris Redfield swoops into their lives, upsets them, throwing a devastated Ethan into a new nightmare at search for answers. "

According to what was shown in the trailer, Chris shoots and kills My in front of a helpless Ethan, coming in as a negative figure within the game. That is enough to make you lift more than an eyebrow, since we are speaking of the one character morally granite of the saga: even Claire, in spite of his sense of justice, is a character more nuanced than Chris, which has always represented the soldier square, dutiful to his duty, steadfast and incorruptible. The one that no matter how many times you hit the ball, it will always be there, ready to rise again and fight once more. There are those who, in a gesture so fierce and out of tune, see the sign of a mind control (remember that the project Mold is originated in the need to develop the ability to control the minds of others), but there is too much clarity in the final scene of the trailer to give credit to these items. We believe it more likely that Chris arrived to the so-called point of no return: a soldier tired, now, crumpled from a life that has only kicked from that far-off 1998, that strives and despite all fails, losing a piece of himself for the road. We should not forget that Mine is an agent operating The Connection and despite having failed the mission assigned to it with Evelin in Resident Evil 7, I don't know if it really is detached from the company. It can prove to be a serpent in the bosom and Chris have embarked on the path of the avenger, where the law has too many times failed, leaving him defeated. To support the hypothesis there are two factors: the sentence at the beginning of the trailer, "his story comes to a close", and the key art is dedicated to Chris. We doubt that the quote could refer to Ethan, because he and his story has in fact ended and was going to live. Chris no. He has always been linked to the past and a mission that seems not to have end.

we Could consume entire paragraphs in to find any connection to the lore, from the similarity of the dresses of Chris with those of Albert Wesker in Resident Evil 4 up to the multiple meanings that the key art depicting the fetus can have (last but not least a vaghissimo recall of the logo of the Blue Umbrella), but even if you want to rely on rumors Duks Golem that at the moment it seems the more informed we will be going back in any part of the speculation. From its part, we have the confirmation, it was clear already from the video of Fabiano and Kanda Resident Evil 8 will be set in a fictitious village in Romania . It is at least bizarre the strong similarity with Resident Evil 4 (the village, the castle...) and knowing that the remake of the fourth chapter, with all new links to the lore, the question that arises at this point is when we will see the remake. Logic, if you consider the two games connected, the 4 would be the priority: as usual follow the logic of Capcom is impossible, however, we suspect that this time is seriously playing with us, leaving us starting on the train of enthusiasm, and watching our actions as an experienced Mastermind. In this regard, our good Dusk Golem confirms the role of Alex Wesker in the game through Daniel Fabron . That's right, the character of that of Resident Evil, Resistance that Fabiano said not to be canon - but then adjust the shot by saying that some of the situations were. We then talk about how the mysterious character with the hair and glasses look like Luis Sera? It is of course pure speculation, since they are regarded as scars on the face could very well be the wolf man in the trailer (assuming that the transformation is not permanent), but you can not deny the similarity. Who knows what is boiling in the house of Capcom.

again in first person as For the phone call, the choice to keep the first-person Resident Evil 8 they took too favourable: we consider the seventh chapter an experiment is very successful especially in the first part, with clear references to the first titles of the series in terms of atmosphere, but we would have preferred that he limit himself to be exactly that-a temporary diversion. For the rest, the KING Engine has a joy for the eyes: we hope that the variety of the setting that tends to make it stand out more, maybe, convincing us it was worth it this perspective. Not having seen it in action in the gameplay, we have to wait for new info before you get an idea - in August, according to the official site - but I doubt they deviate much from Resident Evil 7. The brief introduction of Fabiano and Kanda we have been able, however, to get a glimpse of how will the inventory , in addition to the currency in the game that confirms the setting Romanian: it's a curious hybrid between that of the seventh chapter and the case of the fourth (you can see the outline mentioned in the background). Yet another reference to Resident Evil 4 pinches but it might simply be a case: we want to give Capcom the benefit of the doubt. In regard to the imaginary witches and werewolves already anticipated by the leak, we have no idea how they fit into the plot or be connected to some sordid experimentation - and again, we do not exclude additional Costumes from the equation - therefore we restrict ourselves to accept their presence with cautious interest, waiting to know something more about the role in the story.

Resident Evil 8 is an ad that is not surprising, but still manages to play his cards well, by introducing a plot that seems to revolve around Chris Redfield, and his probable exit from the scene final. It will be the end of the course, and the beginning of another? Difficult to say but the conditions for an intertwining promising there are all. Does not convince us the use again of the first person, but the setting is more varied, Romania could get out of it-exploited species due to a RE Engine in good shape like always. Between characters old and new, enemies whose context it is still difficult to shoot, and the premise interesting, we just have to wait until August to get a more precise idea about what to expect next year.

CERTAINTIES The KING Engine is always a sight The plot seems promising DOUBTS return to the first person does not convince us Witches and werewolves and how they fit in the context?

Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a standalone expansion to Uncharted: The Lost Legacy

2020-06-12T11:25:00.001-07:00

Spider-Man: Miles Morales will be a standalone expansion, along the lines of Uncharted: The Lost Legacy: Insomniac Games confirmed it with a post published on Twitter.

Announced during the Sony presentation, Spider-Man: Miles Morales for PS5 seemed at first a real sequel, then the rumor spread that it was a remaster of the game for PS4 with an unpublished campaign dedicated precisely to Miles Morales.

In short, Sony's communication has not been very clear in this regard, which is why the development team had to intervene to shed light on the matter, writing that Spider-Man: Miles Morales will be "a standalone game" and that further details will be revealed later.

Jason Schreier has also expressed his opinion, who confirmed that the production will be similar in size to Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. So let's talk about an unprecedented adventure that shares the settings of Marvel's Spider-Man to involve us in a new campaign.

What exactly will be the news introduced for the occasion? As said, we will have to wait to know.

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is the next adventure in the Marvel's Spider-Man universe. We will reveal more about this standalone game at a future date. # MilesMoralesPS5 pic.twitter.com/GOTAvNhUaF

PS5: Sony confirms many other games in development, that's why the Digital model exists

2020-06-12T11:24:00.002-07:00

The show dedicated to the games coming to Sony's next gen console ended with a welcome surprise: the expected reveal of what the PlayStation 5 design will be.

The hardware, as it is now known, will be available in two different versions, with a traditional PS5 equipped with a Blu-Ray player and a PS5 only digital. Jim Ryan, President of Sony Interactive Entertainment, intervened on this choice during an interesting interview with the BBC. When asked about what will be the price difference between the two models, the manager ruled out the possibility of already discussing the topic, but instead wanted to highlight the reasons that led the gaming giant to differentiate its offer.

"Many of our consumers today buy exclusively digitally - said Ryan - We thought we would do what we usually do, and simply offer a choice". Instead of discussing "price", the Sony executive preferred to evoke the concept of "value", emphasizing how the team worked to ensure that "the overall value of the proposal in terms of consoles and games - variety, quality, quantity of the same - is something capable of conquering our community ".

Staying on the subject of software, moreover, Jim Ryan highlighted how among the titles presented, including several exclusive PlayStation 5 games, both large AAAs and independent productions. The choice was dictated by the desire to highlight the differentiation of the offer proposed by the PS catalog, concluding with the following promise: "And it is only the beginning. There are so many other games that we have in development".

PS5, Sony still working on backward compatibility: excellent progress so far

2020-06-12T11:24:00.001-07:00

Backward compatibility will be one of the distinctive features of PlayStation 5, but during the event yesterday it was not mentioned in any way. With the show "The Future of Gaming", Sony preferred to focus on PS5 games and presentation.

A few words on the subject, in any case, was shared by Jim Ryan during a chat with the site CNET. The Sony PlayStation President and CEO did not share relevant new information, reiterating his intention to make more than 4,000 titles in the PS4 catalog compatible with PS5, but added that everything is going well. "We said that PS5 was designed to run PS4 games. We are engaged in the process involving publishers and developers, who are testing a rather comprehensive library of over 4,000 games. We are happy with the progress we have made to date ". More details will surely be shared in the coming months.

PlayStation 5, remember, will be launched in late 2020 in two versions, one with a 4K Blu-ray player and another without, called the Digital Edition. Have you already taken a look at the official PS5 accessories line and the list of all the next-gen games presented so far?

China, Russia and Turkey: the Twitter cleaners

2020-06-12T11:23:00.000-07:00

Twitter has started a heavy spring cleaning between its accounts, eliminating in one fell swoop tens of thousands of fake accounts that the social network would have linked to initiatives of state origin: 32,242 accounts have been put on the door since they are directly connected to the propaganda coming from countries such as China, Russia and Turkey. Italy is not in the way - for now - but in the past our country and our politics have been related to Russian propaganda: for now we are content to understand what certain state machines are able to set up, waiting to understand what someone in Italy may have tried to trigger.

Russia, China and Turkey with tweets Are they just social networks? Are they just twittering? Are they just ends in themselves and isolated in the virtual world? Quite the opposite: they are small pieces of a complex geopolitical battle that is being fought between our fingers, on our displays, between the meshes of our online discussions. A battle with little hearts and retweets that inflate certain topics to cover up others, to divert opinions and to motivate ideological aggregations. The resulting image is that of a Risiko with tweets, with targeted attacks and extremely elaborate strategies to give shape to partisan geopolitical interests. Twitter's attempt to relieve the burden of politics is increasingly intense and after Trump it has now fallen to the prime enemies of the US President. In short, a bipartisan effort to return to being a communication tool and not a cross propaganda club.

But it does not end here. In addition to the 32.242 account removed, are the light more accounts (there are over 150 thousand people, only those related to chinese propaganda, the aim of which is only to revive the original messages and gonfiarne visibility and popularity. Accounts with small follower, the activity of which is the auto is simply to inflate the metrics of the account objective , working with automations specially designed to work around the dynamics of the social network. What you configure is a real organization made up of bot and leader bot wingmen , each designed for a specific purpose, and all coordinated to bring online a specific narrative, a specific topic or a specific deviation with respect to the debate in the act.

We're disclosing new state-linked information operations to our public archive — the only one of its kind in the industry. Originating from the People's Republic of China (PRC), Russia, and Turkey, all associated accounts and content have been removed. https://t.co/obRqr96iYm

— Twitter Safety (@TwitterSafety) June 11, 2020

Twitter wanted to bring this process forward in a transparent manner, bringing online the information related to the account charged with esplicitarne role, nature, origin and content. A small step for the social network, a great step for the health of the ecosystem of the social that gravitates inside. The initiative is, however, a cry of alarm and unprecedented: the political propaganda of some states is permeating heavily in the public debate (and with ever greater forcefulness has moved its center of gravity on social networks), inoculating the thus theorems bislacchi and complottismo of the varied nature of the bubble to bubble, person to person. Part of the activities analyzed would also be relative to the Covid, establishing a specific narrative, that he take away the suspicion and accusations from China.

it Is a dynamic that is important to know in order to understand all of the diverted may be the image provided by one account, from a numerical evaluation of a tweet or the popularity of an account: the work of the bot not only has never slowed down, but it has also aged extremely profitable.

Gods & Monsters: the build that appeared on Stadia was old, now the game is totally different

2020-06-12T11:22:00.001-07:00

From the columns of Eurogamer.net, Ubisoft Quebec developer Marc-Alexis Cote wanted to clarify the unusual appearance of Gods & Monsters on Google Stadia, explaining that the build is no longer representative of the playful experience offered by the action a open world.

The author of the Canadian software house begins by stating that "our vision of the game previously known as Gods & Monsters has evolved in surprising ways, something like all those games that are developed to give life to exciting new worlds. This video is taken from our demo of E3 2019 which was shown to some journalists who came to the fair last June, so it is a year old. Much has changed since then in terms of characteristics, tone of the adventure, art and character design, even the name of the game. We are excited about the work we are doing and we can't wait to finally show you the game at the end of this summer ".

To Cote's words on the development of the known title, at least until today, like Gods & Monsters are added those of a Google spokesman, who reconstructs the whole story to explain that" unfortunately, Thursday morning we mistakenly made a demo of Gods & Monsters' E3 2019 available on the Google Stadia store, and it was an internal demo that wasn't intended for the public. A hundred players were able to access it for less than 30 minutes. We sincerely apologize to our Ubisoft partners for this error. "

PS5, were the presenters of the event in CG? Sony reveals the truth

2020-06-12T11:22:00.000-07:00

Were the presenters of the PS5 event last night in CG? Were these virtual characters taken from their respective developers, moved by the powerful hardware of the new console?

As absurd as possible, this theory made its way onto social networks by finding numerous supporters, a bit like when Hideo Kojima disguised himself as present The Phantom Pain and some thought that his makeup was also the result of computer graphics.

So how are things really? The presentation of PlayStation 5 besides the many games and announcements also hid this sensational secret? Apparently, no.

A Sony representative, questioned on the matter, explained that the presenters of the event were all filmed in their homes due to the current health emergency and "cut out".

Perhaps it was this factor that made the quality of the videos variable and created those artifacts that made some think that it could be virtual characters.

Spider-Man Miles Morales: Microsoft's Greenberg teases Sony by citing Smart Delivery

2020-06-12T11:21:00.002-07:00

Through his social profiles, Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg has reconnected to the misunderstandings generated by the Spider-Man announcement trailer Miles Morales on PS5 and the "real nature" of this stand-alone game to quote the approach taken by the Xbox division with the Smart Delivery system.

The manager of the Redmond house wanted to answer a question posed by a user who criticized the undoubted communication gaps that accompanied the announcement of the new PS5 exclusive from Insomniac Games.

On Twitter, Greenberg explained that "Xbox fans should already know that all Xbox Game Studios games like Halo Infinite include Smart Delivery, so not only will you be able to play them on your Xbox during these holidays but once that you decide to switch to Xbox Series X, all those games will accompany you, including the graphical and optimization updates, for free ".

On the sidelines of the event on the games nextgen c he also unveiled the official design of PlayStation 5, Greenberg himself wanted to congratulate Sony on the success of the digital show but remembering, for the occasion, that Xbox Series X is the most powerful console, a comment that has generated few discussions on industry forums and social networks.

As for the new open world blockbuster of Insomniac Games arriving on PS5 in a period that has yet to be announced, we remind you that Spider-Man Miles Morales is not a sequel but a stand-alone game, as reported by the well-known Bloomberg News reporter Jason Schreier.

The Last of Us Part 2: review and gameplay no spoiler

2020-06-12T11:21:00.001-07:00

Francesco Fossetti and Alessandro Bruni comment on the review of The Last Of Us Part 2 showing the video review and some gameplay sequences, strictly without spoilers, on the latest Naughty Dog masterpiece.

The discussion carried out by Everyeye editorial staff starts from the analysis of the factors that have contributed to making TLOU 2 a title triumphantly received by the critics who, in recent weeks, have been able to immerse themselves in the post-apocalyptic atmospheres of the exclusive PS4 to dissect every content, without however showing the side to anticipations of any nature on the plot or on the (equally disruptive) surprises offered by the playful experience.

From the alternation between stealth phases and furious fights to the authorial force of the narrative canvas laid out by Neil Druckmann to continue the story of Joel and Ellie in a world on the verge of collapse, there is certainly no lack of food for thought and we have confirmed this in the discussion from Fossetti and Bruni for more than two hours.

At this point we just have to leave you to our review of The Last of Us Part 2 and remind you that the Naughty Dog blockbuster is set to arrive on June 19th on PlayStation 4 and PS4 PRO. Before this long-awaited date, we meet you on June 15th on the Twitch channel of Everyeye.it to discuss The Last of Us 2 with Salvatore Esposito of Gomorrah.

Lenovo Legion will arrive in July in two variants?

2020-06-12T11:21:00.000-07:00

Lenovo is about to launch a new smartphone designed for gamers: Legion could arrive as early as July. The manufacturer has recently released a poster with which it has officially confirmed the existence of this smartphone.

There are an increasing number of manufacturers who decide to launch smartphones designed for video games. These are devices with excellent technical specifications, which make them almost portable consoles. After Asus, with ROG Phone, and Xiaomi, with Black Shark 3 (available on Amazon), Lenovo will also soon produce a product in this category.

Lenovo Legion - perhaps coming in July - will be a smartphone that will present some aesthetic choices that will improve the user experience. We previously talked about two USB Type-C inputs, one located on one side, and a camera with a pop-up mechanism, always on the side. Ideal elements for all those who use video games on their smartphone and therefore tend to use the device horizontally.

The technical characteristics are still a mystery, although it is likely that they will guarantee excellent performance. There is talk of the Snapdragon 865 SoC, LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.0 internal memory and a liquid cooling system.

Perhaps there are two variants: "standard" and "Pro". More information may arrive in the coming days.

The new Black Shark 3, with Snapdragon 865 Plus, 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage, is available for purchase on Amazon. You can find it at this address.

Samsung Summer Camp confirmed

2020-06-12T11:20:00.001-07:00

Are summer camps reopening? And then the Samsung Summer Camp also reopens, the summer educational workshop designed for children aged 8 to 10 and active in the months of June and July. In such a complex vintage from many points of view, the new edition could inevitably have been called into question by the strong restrictions related to the pandemic cautions, but Samsung is now able to confirm: the Samsung Summer Camp will be done and the project it will be able to continue in linearity with the programs of the past years.

Samsung Summer Camp 2020 To register your children, simply write an email to the dedicated address. This is how Samsung presents its project:

The initiative is divided into virtual classes of about 2 hours with lessons, which can be followed from home or outdoors in a park in your city, of musical propaedeutics, playful / creative workshops and psychomotor activities, which set creativity and the body, emotion and senses in motion, allowing you to discover new forms of relationship and communication. Samsung Summer Camp will take place every week - from mid-June - on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, from 09.45 to 12.

The activities will be organized on the basis of three training courses:

recreational-creative activities music workshops psychomotor workshops

The slow reopening of activities in Italy has not yet offered the right opportunities for children, but the reason is linked to an emergency situation that will continue. It is therefore necessary to learn to seize the opportunities available, especially when the ways in which they are carried out offer growth opportunities in complete safety.

Already in the past few months, Samsung Italy has committed to various activities of smart learning, designed in the spring to support, with more educational tools, teachers and students of the Italian school in their activities of teaching at a distance, during the long period of lockdown due to the emergency related to the spread of the Covid-19. As a continuation of our commitment, with the Samsung Summer Camp we are excited to offer to all the Italian children a further opportunity to meet after the end of the school year, and learn new concepts through playful activities that are useful for the stimulation of creativity, of the senses and of the body

Anastasia Buda, Corporate Social Responsibility Manager at Samsung Electronics Italy.

waiting to start the smart learning in the autumn months , Samsung Summer Camp is therefore an opportunity for all parents who would like to give a new way to learn and have fun with their children. Here are all the details .

Deathloop will shoot at 4K and 60 fps on PS5, new details from Arkane Studios

2020-06-12T11:20:00.000-07:00

Deathloop will shoot at 4K and 60 fps on PS5: the developers of Arkane Studios have revealed it, providing further details on the game, which will be available in conjunction with the new Sony console.

Presented last night as an exclusive console on PS5 , Deathloop will also land immediately on PC but will take advantage of the peculiarities of PlayStation 5, such as the haptic feedback of the DualSense controller.

"After Dishonored 2 and Dishonored: Death of the Outside, we wanted to experience something different, "said game director Dinga Bakaba. "A more intimate game, focused on a single great idea, a single place, a single challenge."

The story of Deathloop revolves around two supernatural killers imprisoned in an eternal conflict, a temporal loop who sees them face each other until one of them understands how to break the cycle. The problem is that his rival does not want to get out of it.

The interesting thing is that both characters will be playable: in the campaign we will control Colt, the killer who wants to escape from the temporal prison, but in multiplayer we can take on the role of his enemy Julianna and invade the games of other users.

Why are thousands of minks being killed in Holland because of the coronavirus?

2020-06-12T11:19:00.000-07:00

The new spillover, the species jump, of the mink coronavirus in Dutch farms will lead to the killing of thousands of animals as a precaution: we cannot afford another basin of infection (photo: Getty Images) From the second half of April fur mink farms in the Netherlands are coronavirus victims. The first reconstructions say that the pathogen jumped from the human being (some employees of the factories) to the animals, triggering epidemics with a similar trend to that observed in our cities, but that later on sick minks would transmit the virus to people. As a precaution, therefore, to avoid at all costs that mink farms become a reservoir of infection by threatening human communities, the Dutch health authorities, amid protests by animal rights movements, have decided to kill thousands of animals starting from 6 June . There may be a positive note in bitterness: the Netherlands could say goodbye to fur farms before the date set by law, in 2024.

Another spillover

In April the managers of two Dutch fur farms (one of 12,000 and the other of 7,500) began to notice that minks had mucus build-up and gastrointestinal problems, and mortality was increased. Veterinary checks confirmed the suspicion: the minks had been infected with coronavirus. The investigations then reconstructed the transmission chain from the human being to the animals. After cats, tigers, ferrets, dogs and other more or less companion animals, here is another Sars-Cov-2 spillover, only this time the consequences seem much more serious.

Epidemics

As found in the first analysis , in fact, the new coronavirus in mink has given rise to the epidemics extended , as was the case for the human being. Scientists believe that the virus is transmitted between animals through droplets of saliva and mucus, but it is also possible that the transmission from animal to animal is amplified by the narrow space , from feed the shared, and from contact with the litter . A peculiarity which is still without explanation is, that in the different farms are affected outbreaks have had different outcomes : in general, the epidemic will die out when the 90% of the animals is infected, and then virtually all have developed a form of immunity to the virus, but in some farms the mink deaths were very few, while in others the mortality has reached 10% . Yet, researchers have not found mutations in the coronavirus such as to justify an increase in virulence.

the Infection return

If for the other species of animals susceptible to Sars-Cov-2 the threat is the human being who transmits them to the virus without this back (or at least there are no reported cases), for the mink is different. The health authorities in the netherlands, in fact, have found that in two cases (approximately 50 thousand in the Country) mink ill have transmitted the virus to humans . For this reason, the Dutch government has decided to break down thousands of animals , because we can't afford a new reservoir of infection that carries the clock of the pandemic in Europe at the end of February.

The decision is dictated by the precautionary principle to the protection of human health, but is not exempt from criticism . There are those who believe that, as animal welfare organizations, that the risk to human communities adjacent to the farms is very low and that the new born during the epidemic are protected by the mother's antibodies. The problem is that we do not know how to govern immunity, and for the government a new wave of infections in the farms, it would be too risky.

Conversion

A decision considered necessary, for how bitter and that makes it hard for a reality, the industry of fur ) which is already in crisis. The Dutch government has said that it will compensate the farms for the animals lost and someone tries to see the positive side of the story: the Netherlands could be free from breeding mink fur earlier than expected. A law of 2012 , in fact, provides for the entry into force of the ban on breeding these animals for their coat, starting from 2024 , for ethical reasons. And because the activities could not resume before three years, this could be an opportunity not to be missed to accelerate the conversion .

PS5 showed itself to the public: did we like the design of the next gen console?

2020-06-12T11:18:00.002-07:00

The streaming event scheduled for the evening of Thursday 11 June was to have as its only main focus the line-up of titles destined to land on the future PlayStation console, but, surprisingly, Sony has decided to mess up the cards on the table. >
Just at the last second, when the show seemed ready to close, the Japanese giant has in fact raised the curtain on what will be the definitive design of PlayStation 5. As suspected by many observers following the reveal of DualSense, ready to go and replace the DualShock 4, the console looks like it is characterized by a duotone that recalls what has already been seen in the new controller. Components characterized by an opaque white therefore alternate with sections of a bright black, while the blue LED recalls the now color symbol of the PlayStation home.

To analyze every detail of the new hardware, Everyeye editorial team has packed a video entirely dedicated to the design of PlayStation 5, born from a reflection of our Marco Mottura on the lines and shades chosen by Sony to accompany its community in the direction of the long-awaited next gen. As usual, you can find the video directly at the beginning of this news or on the Everyeye YouTube channel: what is your opinion on the aesthetics of the new gaming hardware?

Following the reveal , Sony has offered some interesting statements related to the PS5 only digital model.

Microsoft on facial recognition and police

2020-06-12T11:18:00.000-07:00

Microsoft's algorithms trained to offer facial recognition technology will not be offered to the police. The decision is not definitive, but temporary, destined to last until the US introduces into its legislative system rules capable of regulating its use by law enforcement, taking into consideration the need to protect the freedoms and rights of citizens .

Facial recognition: Microsoft's "no" to the police The Redmond group thus aligns with the decision announced yesterday by Amazon for the Rekognition solution, while in recent days IBM has announced that its systems will no longer be used for this purpose. Google's vision on the subject was instead put on paper in a speech by the company at the end of 2018. Here are the translated words of Brad Smith, President of Microsoft, collected at a conference organized by the Washington Post. >
We will not provide face recognition technology to police in the United States as long as national law is in effect. We must establish it to regulate its use on the basis of human rights protection.

Microsoft underlines however that it has not currently signed contracts for the supply of this technology to law enforcement agencies in the USA, while it does not confirm nor does it deny whether the same system is in use by government agencies such as Customs and Border Protection for customs control or Department of Homeland Security for the management of internal matters.

The position taken by hi-tech giants overseas intends to force the legislator to pronounce on the issue by introducing precise and strict rules. A prospect assessed at the beginning of the year also in Europe, then discarded.

USA 2020: Biden forcing on Facebook

2020-06-12T11:17:00.001-07:00

Considering how Facebook today collects almost half of the world's population on its platforms, it is not surprising that politics considers Mark Zuckerberg's services an important megaphone for the dissemination of their messages. Trump knows well that in social media and in his summits (unlike what happens for example on Twitter) he has found a permissive attitude, so much so that he can convey any communication without any type of control and not even fact checking, in the name of freedom of expression . On the other hand, Joe Biden sees her in a diametrically opposed way and in the coming months will challenge the tycoon to become the new tenant of the White House.

Biden and her are asking for more stringent rules for FB The democratic candidate and the his staff in these hours are asking all their millions of supporters to sign an open letter and a petition addressed to the CEO of Menlo Park and the other managers of the company, asking them to introduce new policies defined with the aim of fighting the phenomenon disinformation and that of hate speech which recently on some occasions have seen protagonists also the same actors of overseas public life. These are the words of Bill Russo, spokesman for the campaign.

A real change in Facebook's policies for the platform and how to enforce them is necessary to protect against the risk of re-occurring what misinformation has caused in the 2016 elections and what continues to represent a danger today for our democracy.

The story is destined to polarize even more feedback in a moment certainly not easy for the United States, struggling with the grip of a health crisis that still persists, with demonstrations of protest and solidarity that affect the whole country by the killing of George Floyd and with the election campaign poised to enter in the alive one.

2020-06-12T11:17:00.000-07:00

During the event dedicated to the titles coming to PlayStation 5, a lot of space was dedicated to the revealing of new IPs, with productions set in completely new digital universes.

Among the teams that have chosen to try their hand at creations completely unpublished we find Luminous Productions. Under the protective wing of Square Enix, the software house is currently working on a project designed for PC and next gen. During the live streaming on Thursday 11 June, the public was able to take a first look at the creation, thanks to the publication of a trailer of Project Athia, a temporary title with which the game is currently known.

At the moment, there are not many details related to the title, but it is possible to have a first taste of the atmospheres proposed by Luminous Productions thanks to some screenshots published by Square Enix. As you can see at the bottom of this news, the images are presented as suggestive, but unfortunately they do not offer many clues about the nature of Project Athia. At the moment the title is still without a launch window, but it has been confirmed that the debut is expected on PlayStation 5 and on PC.

The first details on Project Athia refer to a "Otherworldly Adventure" which aims to offer the player an engaging and exciting journey.

Immune, from Monday 15 June throughout Italy

2020-06-12T11:16:00.002-07:00

Although the concept of "serenity" has not brought too much luck in politics in recent years, Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte does not seem particularly superstitious at the moment when, with regard to the Immuni app, he reassures everyone with a "download with serenity". But the concept is exactly this: from Monday the Immuni project will be valid throughout Italy, therefore going beyond the only experimentation initially adopted in 4 regions and thus opening the official way of contact tracing in our country.

Anyone can therefore download the app (immediately) and join the group of those who, with the collective collaboration, will be part of the community on Monday of those who will be active vigilant of the expansion of the pandemic using bluetooth, a series of notifications and the reliance on cooperation with health authorities. All on a voluntary basis and on the foundations of a solidarity principle designed to protect the individual, but above all to defend the community.

Giuseppe Conte: download Immune surgery took place in the headquarters of the presentation of the new the PRIME minister-with the update of the measures of closing and reopening of the business in Italy, dictated, however, by the prudence necessary in the light of data of contagion that still does not allow you to ignore the real dangers that exist. Not only that: an intervention that takes place on the day the stock markets around the world collapsed again in the wake of fears of a second wave of infection, which would slow down again economic recovery, and that it would perhaps estimates of GDP since outlined here. A day important, therefore, to return to the importance of Immune it as an attempt to build a bank to the risks of the “Stage 3” or any of the dangers foreseen for next autumn : an app that, net of masks and distancing the social, can help to speed up the detection of outbreaks of infection, cutting in a clear way the chain of infection to keep a low curve of the pandemic and efficient machines of health.

These are the words of Giuseppe Conte in his welcome to Immune:

Monday will be downloaded and will be operational throughout the national territory the app Immune. You can download it with security, with serenity and tranquility, because it is an app that protects the privacy, from this point of view has a very rigorous discipline, is an app that does not invade private space, but at the same time provides you with an opportunity to receive information in the case of contacts that are “suspicious”. It is an app of which we are proud, because in all the safety we provide a service to all Italian citizens and we were the first in Europe, if not among the first in the western world to reach this result very sophisticated from the technological point of view has reached and also exceeded the screening very strict international institutions the most rigorous and accredited.

With the coming of the “day one”, at the start of a communication campaign dedicated, which kicks off with a video uploaded on the YouTube channel of the Palazzo Chigi:

“ A small gesture for a big country “. Made the app, now it's up to the italians.
