Minecraft players on the PlayStation 4 can rejoice, with Mojang adding in cross-play support with other platforms in Minecraft's new Bedrock Edition update that drops on December 10.

The new cross-play feature coming in the new update will let PS4 gamers play Minecraft with gamers on the Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC through Windows 10, iOS, Android, and even the Gear VR. It also allows PS4 gamers get access to their personal purchases and progress from Minecraft on other platforms, too.

Minecraft studio boss Helen Chiang told The Verge: "One of Minecraft's core missions is to connect players across devices and provide the best experience regardless of platform. We continue to fulfill that mission here today by welcoming PS4 players to Minecraft on Bedrock and growing our cross-platform multiplayer community".

Intel will be launching its new Comet Lake-S processors in April 2020 according to the latest rumors, a new CPU family that will launch alongside the Z490 chipset and a slew of new motherboards.

The new Z490 chipset will reportedly be joined by the W480, B460, and H410 which will be destined for the workstation, business, and entry-level markets, respectively. The new flagship Z490 chipset would go hand-in-hand with the new Comet Lake-S processors which will arrive with up to 10C/20T, yet it'll still only offer PCIe 3.0 versus PCIe 4.0 offered on AMD's new X570 chipset.

Intel will be introducing a new socket with Comet Lake-S, with the new LGA 1200 socket offering 49 additional pins over the LGA 1151 socket. The new LGA 1200 socket will NOT be backwards compatible with previous-gen CPUs. But, previous-gen coolers should work, something we'll know more about next year.

OPPO just announced a new pair of augmented reality glasses at its OPPO Innovation Day event, with David Imel on the ground at the event in China from Android Authority tweeting the news just now.

There's not much known outside of the surprise announcement, but Imel did report that both the new OPPO AR glasses and a new 5G CPE hub that is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon X55 5G modem will be released in Q1 2020.

OPPO's new AR glasses will feature dual fisheye camers on the front, as well as an HD camera. On the side appears to be two buttons styled in green, which I actually really dig the style of. We don't know any specifications on what is inside the OPPO AR glasses powering it, or what type of resolution or display technology they're using. As I find this out I'll keep you all updated.

Death Stranding was one of the most-hyped, and well-received games of 2019 and now Hideo Kojima's masterpiece has been "demaked" into an 8-bit game.

The new Low-Fi version of the game was created by Fabricio Lima, who made Death Stranding into an 8-bit game that makes me feel all nostalgic. Better yet, it's not all just about those 8-bit graphics but the sound theme has been recreated in chiptune/8-bit, to bring it closer to the MSX (which is the first console that Hideo Kojima worked on, FYI).

Not all characters have gone through the "demake" process, as Lima ran out of time to work on other characters. For now, just the sheer fact that someone "demaked" Death Stranding into the nostalgic 8-bit world is awesome.

The next GPU architecture we get from NVIDIA will be Ampere, but we're already hearing about the GPU architecture after that in the form of Hopper.

Hopper will reportedly be an MCM design or multi-chip module -- think of the multi-chip GPU design as the chiplet technology that has allowed AMD to leapfrog Intel in the CPU market... But for next-gen GPUs.

A recent patent unearthed by 'kopite7kimi with NVIDIA choosing Hopper to represent the late Grace Hopper, who was a computer scientist who popularized the idea of machine-independent programming languages. Her work led the world into the creation of COBOL, the high-level programming language.

If you can believe it, a new range of League of Legends themed apparel is here from Louis Vuitton -- with prices ranging from $670 for a t-shirt to $5650 for a leather biker jacket.

Moving away from apparel, Louis Vuitton begins its League of Legends collection with a $515 key chain and bag charm, through to a $2420 hoodie. The LVxLoL collection includes a watch for $3050, a bag for $1760, a belt for $420 and a bucket hat for $730.

Hell, an LVxLoL short sleeve crop top will cost you $1070, while a bubble skirt costs $2680 and the sneakers will set you back $1140. A short sleeve mock neck fitted dress costs $2280, while the bumbag is $1890. There's also a diamond bracelet for $345, a tie for $170, while the most expensive item is the leather biker jacket for $5650.

Valve blew the gaming world away with the out of nowhere announcement and trailer for Half-Life: Alyx, and if seems the developer isn't finished yet.

According to a new tweet from Valve News Networks' Tyler McVicker, we should expect the announcement of Left 4 Dead VR in the coming days. Yeah, that's right... Left 4 Dead VR is real, and is about to be unveiled.

McVicker tweeted that his videos were coming back tomorrow, noted that one of the best VR games is coming out Tuesday - Boneworks. On top of that, he just drops in the middle of the tweet that "Left 4 Dead VR is real" and that we will get new Half-Life: Alyx news from the upcoming Game Awards show.

Microsoft will apparently use a customized SSD storage solution to hit blazing-fast game loading speeds, arming developers with versatile power in the process.

Next-gen consoles will use new SSDs alongside new GPU and CPU hardware to dramatically improve loading speeds (the PS5's SSD loaded Spider-Man in just 0.8 seconds). But that's not all the SSDs can do. Microsoft says the SSDs used in its new Project Scarlett duo of consoles lets developers use storage as a VRAM buffer, strongly hinting at a custom solution. Now sources say the next-gen Xboxes will indeed feature a unique storage design.

Project Scarlett's Anaconda and Lockhart systems will both use a proprietary NVMe SSD, sources tell WindowsCentral. This somewhat aligns with our recent predictions that next-gen consoles could use Optane-like memory cache acceleration tech, which prioritizes important data in a special storage cache and feeds it right into the CPU.

A new BioShock game is in development (it's actually been in development since 2015), but the series' original creator Ken Levine won't be involved.

Rather than resurrect Irrational Games or recruit Ken Levine's new Ghost Story Games studio to work on the next BioShock game, 2K Games made a new first-party studio called Cloud Chamber. Levine and former BioShock devs won't be helping with the new project--it's being spear-headed by an entirely separate team. The IP is moving on without its creator, despite Levine still orbiting in the 2K Games universe.

According to Cloud Chamber director Kelley Gilmore, Levine and Ghost Story Games team are working on an unannounced project (job listings hint it's a story-driven FPS RPG mash-up).

New specs for Project Scarlett's next-gen console duo surface, reinforcing recent leaks and rumors.

Project Scarlett isn't just one console. It's a duo that includes two systems: Anaconda, the true next-gen beast of a console with beefier hardware, and Lockhart, a digital-only cheaper system with dialed-down specs. Now sources revealed new Anaconda and Lockhart specs to WindowsCentral, and they're pretty much what we expected.

Anaconda's Navi GPU will have 12TFLOPs of power, roughly twice as much as the Xbox One X, aimed at native 4K 60FPS playback in all games. This hefty boost will also bring huge gains in 1440p and 1080p with up to 120FPS. The console will have a huge 16GB GDDR6 unified memory pool, of which 13GB of RAM will be available for games and 3GB is reserved for OS memory, a nice 44% jump in allocated game memory compared to the Xbox One X.
