Sony's goofy PlayStation 1 classic MediEvil is getting resurrected with a brand new remaster, and now all PS4 gamers can try it out.

Game demos are pretty rare these days, so when they come out it's actually a treat. Sony just released a new MediEvil demo so both new and veteran PS gamers can sample its schlocky Halloween charm while experiencing that old-school PlayStation goodness. It's almost like those early days when demo discs came in packaged video game magazines (both of which are practically extinct now).

The MediEvil demo is kinda beefy, clocking in at 11GB and featuring the first two levels of the game--Dan's Crypt and The Graveyard. It's aptly called short-lived and will only be available until October 6, so be sure to grab it asap. Everyone who plays the demo can unlock a special helm that carries over to the final game.

Like Red Dead Redemption II, The Last of Us Part II will span two discs on PlayStation 4.

The Last of Us Part II is shaping up to be Naughty Dog's magnum opus, at least insofar as overall size and dramatic story impact. Neil Druckmann says the sequel is the studio's "most ambitious and longest game in our 35 year history," and affirms the team needed to make a huge game to chronicle Ellie's harrowing journey of hate and revenge.

"To tell this kind of story the game needed to be massive," Druckmann said in a recent PlayStation Blog post.

Warner Bros. has gotten out ahead of the controversy that is surrounding their upcoming Joker film that is scheduled to release on October 4.

The controversy comes from an open letter written by several victims of the 2012 Aurora shooting that happened during a screening of The Dark Knight Rises. The letter says that there is major concern towards how the character in the film (Joker) is depicted and that the way that he is portrayed could inspire violence in others. According to Deadline this is what was sent to Warner, "We're calling on [Warner Bros. CEO and chairperson Ann Sarnoff] to use your massive platform and influence to join us in our fight to build safer communities with fewer guns".

The letter also went on to express massive concerns for gun violence and also called on Warner to leverage their power in Congress to push gun reform. Warner Bros. has since issued a statement, condemning gun violence but also standing by their upcoming Joker film. "Gun violence in our society is a critical issue, and we extend our deepest sympathy to all victims and families impacted by these tragedies. Our company has a long history of donating to victims of violence, including Aurora, and in recent weeks, our parent company joined other business leaders to call on policymakers to enact bi-partisan legislation to address this epidemic."

We are quickly descending into the insane reality of deepfake technology, where it will be virtually impossible to know the difference between a real or fake video of someone -- and Google wants to help.

This deepfake of Bill Hader impersonating Tom Cruise would have to be my favorite go-to deepfake, with every single person I've showed it to (even those aware of what deepfake is) absolutely blown away by it.

The search giant has released a bunch of deepfake videos that will help researchers make deepfake detection tools, because we're at a stage when the fear factor hits 11/10 and people are scared of them being used in the upcoming 23020 presidential elections.

Facebook has come out at the Atlantic Festival in Washington DC to speak about how they are going to be preventing outside interference in elections and the companies attitude towards political speech on their platform.

According to Nick Clegg, VP of Gloabl Affairs and Communications at Facebook, the company relies on 'third-party fact-checkers' to help reduce the spread of fake news and misinformation. However, Facebook recognizes politicians differently than normal users, saying that "We don't believe, however, that it's an appropriate role for us to referee political debates and prevent a politician's speech from reaching its audience and being subject to public debate and scrutiny. That's why Facebook exempts politicians from our third-party fact-checking program".

Clegg says during his speech that "I want to be really clear today - we do not submit speech by politicians to our independent fact-checkers, and we generally allow it on the platform even when it would otherwise breach our normal content rules." He continues and says there is exemptions to this rule and that's when the speech endangers people and where they take money. Full statement "Of course, there are exceptions. Broadly speaking they are two-fold: where speech endangers people; and where we take money, which is why we have more stringent rules on advertising than we do for ordinary speech and rhetoric."

Boston Dynamics have finished up some designs of their robot dog 'Spot' and have decided to put him to work. Companies can now join their leasing program to acquire their very own Spot robot.

You have perhaps seen Boston Dynamics' robot dog before, and since its original reveal calibrations have been made that allow for Spot to avoid obstacles much better and keep balance under not-so-good circumstances. Why would companies want their very own Spot? Spot can carry up to four hardware modules on his back, which gives companies room to equip Spot with whatever it needs to complete its task. An example of a task is Spot being trained to check gas leaks with a methane detector.

Other use cases could be a company wanting to track connectivity over a long distance, Spot can be equipped with a radio transmitter and set on a specific course. Spot is also capable of also working in the rain. There are many different use cases for Spot, but one of them is something that Michael Perry, VP of business development at Boston Dynamics doesn't want to see, and thats Spot being converted into some sort of weapon. Here is what he had say, "Fundamentally, we don't want to see Spot doing anything that harms people, even in a simulated way".

It looks like the rumors of the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER are beginning to take fuller form, with ASUS HQ sources of VideoCardz saying that the GTX 1660 SUPER is coming very soon.

ASUS is preparing at least 3 different models of the GTX 1660 SUPER in its DUAL EVO, Phoenix, and TUF3 series of cards. We should expect the same TU116-400 GPU that powers the GTX 1660 Ti, but it will ahve its GDDR6 clocked higher.

We're expecting the same 6GB of GDDR6 on the upcoming GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER but it'll have its bandwidth boosted up to 14Gbps, up from the 12Gbps gear on the regular GTX 1660 Ti.

Advertising is an ever changing industry, especially considering not only how fast technology is moving but also how fast people's attention spans are changing.

For the reasons listed above, Snapchat has opted in a new advertising service for companies looking to advertise on their platform. Originally, Snapchat allowed marketers to have a 10 second video for their commercials, but according to a new announcement during the Advertising Week in New York City, "We're now expanding the maximum duration of Snap ads."

This extension is going to come in the form of a new update that allows advertisers to show longer videos. At first, advertisers had the ability to show longer videos, but those videos were only shown if the viewer swiped up on the ad. A great example of this is a short trailer for a movie containing the full trailer behind the 'swipe required ad.' Snapchat will now be removing the 10 second cap on ads, and allowing for advertisers to display a full 3 minute long ad instead.

While I don't know how good it will be to play an TBS game with a controller, none-the-less a great RTS game is heading over to consoles this year and its Sid Meier's Civilization VI.

Sid Meier's Civilization series has always had a strong place on PC in the turn-based-strategy genre, gaining mass popularity as the series released titles. Now console gamers will have an opportunity to be apart of history as Civilization VI will be heading over to the Xbox One and PS4 this November.

Confirmed during the State of Play that was held today, 2K Games will be bringing PS4 and Xbox One gamers Civilization VI with optimizations for controllers. To go alongside those optimizations, players will also have both the 'Rise and Fall' & 'Gathering Storm' DLC's. Both DLC's will be available to purchase a Expansion Bundle. Civilization VI will be available on Xbox One and PS4 on November 22nd.

Death Stranding fans that don't already have a PS4 Pro now have a chance of now getting a Limited Edition Death Stranding-themed console.

The above video has been released on the official PlayStation YouTube Channel and reminds us that Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding is only a couple months away from release. The video also introduces us to a Limited Edition Death Stranding PS4 Pro that fans will be able to pick up.

The console is completely white but has black hand-prints across the top of it, directly referencing what is seen is most of the Death Stranding trailers. The controller is also a bright pee color yellow, which seems to be in reference to the baby pods that has been seen to play a key role in the game. The front of the console also features the worlds "Death Stranding". This Limited Edition console will be retailing for $399.99, pre-orders are already open for sale. Death Stranding will release on PS4 on November 11th.

It looks like AMD is preparing a new mid-range Navi release with the purporeted Radeon RX 5300 XT graphics card popping its head up into the rumor mill.

The news of a mid-range Navi graphics card isn't new, but the Radeon RX 5300 XT name is -- right now we're only seeing details for an OEM variant of the RX 5300 XT. The new RX 5300 XT will be based on the Navi GPU architecture, feature 4GB of GDDR5 memory and replace the current RX 550.

AMD's new Radeon RX 5300 XT was listed in multiple HP desktops including the Pavilion line of products, with the HP Desktop M01-F0017ng rocking the AMD Ryzen 5 3500G processor and discrete Radeon RX 5300 XT graphics card with 4GB of GDDR5 memory.

Nintendo is just about to launch the app everyone has been waiting for, Mario Kart Tour for mobile.

Above we have the first episode of Mario Kart Tour News which informs players what the game will feature and what options they will have available to them. From the video we learn that the first tour will be located in New York City and that future Tours will be based on real-world locations.

We are also introduced to how the game will control. Simple up, down, left and right thumb maneuvers will be gamers controllers (an image has been provided in the entirety of this article). It is also detailed that certain drivers will only be available during certain tour times, and that for gamers to play Mario Kart Tour they must have a registered Nintendo Account.

Respawn has taken to their official Apex Legends Twitter page to post a cryptic message teasing the release of the future 'Crypto' character, and the possible release of an additional map.

The above Tweet shows a letter addressed to what seems to be Crypto's mother, but in reality its a coded messaged that is meant to read as follows: "As I'm sure you've heard I took your advice and I went to the Games. It's the only way I can get close to the people who framed me. All I had to do was distract the Syndicate long enough to get 'Crypto's' credentials into the system. You were right about the qualifying matches."

It continues to say "I looked into it and there's no way I could have gotten in. So I went with Plan B: I took down the Repulsor tower. I had no idea it would be so insane. I'm hoping the damage was enough to close King's Canyon so I can hitch a ride on the dropship off Solace, and find the evidence I need somewhere in New Dawn."

Let's see how deep the rabbit hole we're about to go, with the SEC fining Comscore and its former CEO Serge Matta over fluffing its own books and committing fraud.

Comscore -- whose performance metrics on websites is widely used across the world, has its former CEO admitting to fraud as he artificially inflated revenue by $50 million by fluffing numbers between 2014 and 2016, with Matta reportedly seeing Comscore join "non-monetary transactions" that would see the company giving data without expecting money.

The inflated sense of that value was reported as revenue, with Matta lying to both accountants and auditors -- these moves however, made it seem like Comscore was rocketing nowhere but towards the sky.

Quantic Dream have been making PlayStation exclusives for what feels like forever, but they've been slowly making their iconic games available to the PC with Detroit: Become Human to be the next one.

Quantic Dream boss David Cage talked with OnlySP recently, where he said: "It is an entirely new market for us, although we started as a cross-platform developer (our first game Omikron: The Nomad Soul was released on PC and Dreamcast, and Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy was also cross-platform)".

Cage continued, talking about the PC community and their reaction to Quantic Dream games hitting the PC: "The reaction from the PC community has been tremendous. It is like expanding our family. We will, of course, remain a part of the PlayStation family, but we will now also make our games available to everyone, no matter their platform".

Activision recently hosted the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Beta that has now cemented itself in history as the largest in Call of Duty history.

The company said in a press release that the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Beta had "the most users, the most hours played and highest peak concurrent number of players across PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC combined".

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare developer Infinity Ward is proud of the efforts, with studio boss Patrick Kelly, saying: "We're focused on delivering the best online experience possible and that includes bringing the community together with crossplay. We appreciate all of the players from around the world, who played and shared feedback. Your support is not only a driving inspiration to the entire team, but also provides us with important data and feedback which helps us improve the experience for launch".

A super-small and easily-fixed hole was discovered on the International Space Station in August 2018 by flight controllers, and now someone finally knows why.

Russia knows and it won't say what it was, with Russian space agency boss Dmitry Rogozin saying they know what it was but will not share the information with the US or NASA. Rogozin told attendees at a youth science conference: "We know exactly what happened, but we won't tell you anything".

It wasn't just the youth at the science fair that the Russian space agency boss was cold to, but also NASA -- in whom it is in direct partnership with along with the United States when it comes to the International Space Station. NASA boss Jim Bridenstine told the Houston Chronicle: "They have not told me anything. I don't want to let one item set (the relationship) back, but it is clearly not acceptable that there are holes in the International Space Station".

Windows 10 is now on over 900 million devices, with a tweet directly from Corporate Vice President, Modern Life, Search & Devices Group at Microsoft, Yusuf Mehdi.

Microsoft's latest operating system is on a bunch of devices that go beyond just the PC, with Windows 10 inside of HoloLens, Xbox, Surface Hub, the entire Surface family of devices, and more.

We should expect to see Windows 10 reach over 1 billion users at this rate in the coming months, with early 2020 seeming the most likely. Microsoft had 800 million users on Windows 10 in March which was 6 months ago now, so we should expect February-March 2020 for the huge 1B milestone.

D-Wave announced its next-gen quantum computer dubbed 'Advantage' which during the announcement, had its first customer lined up for the next wave in quantum computing.

D-Wave's new quantum computer already has its first customer with nuclear weapons research site Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) securing the next-gen quantum computer. This isn't LANL's first business with D-Wave either, it'll actually be their third upgrade to their in-house D-Wave quantum computer.

Los Alamos National Laboratory associate director for simulation and computation, Irene Qualters, said in a statement: "This is the third time we will have upgraded our D-Wave system. Each upgrade has enabled new research into developing quantum algorithms and new tools in support of Los Alamos' national security mission. Quantum computing is a critical area of research for Los Alamos".

Xiaomi is no stranger to pushing the edges (geddit?!) of smartphone displays, and now we're seeing 'waterfall' displays with beautiful edges -- and now Xiaomi is pushing over the edge with its new Mi Mix Alpha smartphone.

The company has used a "surround screen" on the Mi Mix Alpha that wraps literally around the entire phone, right around to the camera module on the back. Xiaomi seems to be going for, and achieving a look of holy-crap-the-entire-phone-looks-like-a-screen look... Xiaomi claims it has a 180% screen-to-body ratio.

Xiaomi taps Samsung's new 108-megapixel camera sensor, something the company collaborated on, as well as other high-resolution sensors from Samsung. When taking photos or videos, thanks to the surround screen you have a gigantic viewfinder to take those 108MP photos.
