Like clockwork, the first trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2 has arrived. Just like it said it would, Rockstar has released the first teaser trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2 only a few days after officially announcing the game. Between this trailer and the announcement of the Nintendo Switch, it's already a pretty big day for the gaming world.
You could, perhaps, be forgiven a bit if you've forgotten for a while that HTC still hasn't announced revealed its hand in the smartphone rat race. With the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge, the upcoming launch of the LG G5, and the ongoing GDC 2016 event, most are probably distracted, if not inundated, with news and specs. Hoping not to let the rumors die, HTC has just tweeted its latest teaser, promising its loyal fans of a camera, or cameras, that they will finally be proud of.
HTC skipped revealing anything huge at MWC 2016 last week so that it could have its unveiling event all to its own. Considering what's at stake for the company, it could definitely benefit from some undivided attention. But just how critical is the "One M10" to HTC's business? Apparently, bad enough for its employees to lose sleep over and go on overtime a lot. At least that seems to be the implication in HTC's latest "Power of 10" teaser video that claims, rather than demonstrate, how HTC is obsessed with making a better smartphone.
Samsung is in full tease mode ahead of MWC kicking off in the coming days. Some of the teasers are focusing on what you can expect your next phone to handle while one of the coolest is about innovations that Samsung has made. The innovations video starts with a massive and bulky '80s mobile and ends up with a dude looking at a virtual starscape using a VR headset.
This morning Lucasfilm released a set of five posters depicting some of the main characters of the film Star Wars: The Force Awakens. This film will be released in December - not too long from now - and quite a bit of the plot and the details therein remain a secret. As such, we're not entirely surprised there's no Luke Skywalker poster. But we wanted one anyway, so we made one. We made a poster for Chewbacca as well, at Peter Mayhew's request.
Star Wars The Force Awakens actors have begun releasing posters of their characters this morning, starting with the stormtrooper FINN. This character is wearing the Stormtrooper underclothing he has on at the beginning of the film and is wielding a lightsaber made by you-know-who. This character's poster was shared by the actor who plays the roll, John Boyega. We'll be expecting a whole collection of posters before the day is through.
Today a video has been released by Metallica to celebrate their new website AND show the first tunes from their new album. This album will be released at SOME point in the next few months - they're literally in the studio as of last week recording it. The video you're going to see shows Lars Ulrich talking at length about a bunch of junk, then shows James Hetfield recording some drums - no, vocals - no, maybe some guitar tunes. One way or the other you'll be hearing a few notes.
The countdown clock on the Foo Fighters' homepage isn't just readied for Halloween. On the contrary - it's set for 24 days from now, hitting zero at Midnight on the 20th of November. At that time, the band headed by Dave Growl could well release a new season of the HBO-centric documentary series Sonic Highways. The logo plate on the website indicates as much. On the other hand, this could be a place for the launch of an EP - the band recently recorded five songs in Austin, after all.
It's IFA time soon, and naturally, almost anyone and everyone in the tech industry are ready to make a splash. Including Sony. But if you were perhaps hoping for some redeeming smartphone, it might be time to rein in those expectations. Sony's UK Twitter account just teased something for its pre-IFA 2015 event, hinting at a smarpthone with a better focus, presumably a better camera. It is, however, sadly silent on whether we can also expect a better Xperia smartphone to go along with that.
If you were waiting for the official deal - fully proton-packed up and everything - this is it. This is the photo that seals the deal. We knew the movie was being made - we've seen the leaked images. Now it's time for the official one. The first in a long line of promotional images, we'd like to think, for the next big Ghostbusters film. This time Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones, Kristen Wiig, and Kate McKinnon are taking command, and it's going to be radical.
This morning the X-Files reboot - via Fox - showed one single photo of Scully and Mulder, the heroes of this picture. While we've seen recent photos, videos, and live appearances of both Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny in the recent past, we've seen neither of them together in costume. In costume for THIS role, that is to say. For X-Files fans like myself, this is a sort of return home. Back to a place where anything can happen, and you're made to want to believe.
When we got our first glimpse at season two of True Detective, it offered a moody, tense glimpse into who we’d see struggling between right and wrong on-screen. For fans, it was also confirmation that the teasers laid out ahead of the teaser were at least mainly accurate. Now, we’re getting a second look at the second season, and can glean a bit more about the narrative. Still moody, still tense, and still edgy from the first scene, we now know there are also dead bodies.
