Sony's big E3 2018 presser will focus on what sells PS4 consoles: games.

Like any console-maker, games are massively important to Sony's PlayStation business, especially when it comes to exclusives. At E3 2018, Sony will continue its long-standing tradition of showcasing tantalizing sizzle reels of juggernaut PS exclusive titles: the company announced its E3 press conference will revolve around four major headliners including Death Stranding, The Last of Us II, Marvel's Spider-Man, and Ghost of Tsushima.

I'm predicting that we should get a concrete release date for Death Stranding at the event, or at the very least a "2019" release window. We already know the game will launch "before the 2020 Olympics," and Kojima has said progress on Death Stranding is going quite well.

Following the recent Walmart Canada leak, Bethesda teases what certainly has to be RAGE 2.

id Software's next big game appears to be RAGE 2, and should be highlighted during Bethesda's big E3 2018 showcase in June. But the publisher's Twitter account strongly hints the post-apocalyptic shooter sequel could be revealed this month--on May 14th to be exact. Bethesda's Twitter has been ramping up with not-so-subtle teases and at the time of writing has five pictures that progressively hint at RAGE 2's presence.

What's most interesting about the images is that they show areas around the world, which could indicate a global cross-continent experience. The first image is of Big Ben, and another image shows a Tokyo street. This could indicate RAGE 2 will have an online live service component of some sort with more widespread and dynamic multiplayer action, possibly both drop-in/drop-out online co-op and/or competitive play. In a sense there's a very real possibility RAGE 2 could mirror Borderlands in terms of play modes.

BioWare has revealed in a blogpost that the company is currently looking to the future for what games they will be producing, in the post it was revealed that there is unannounced projects in the works.

Casey Hudson, BioWare exec explains in a blogpost that BioWare has "teams envisioning future BioWare games, and they're designing approaches that are different from Anthem-including one that's very Dragon Age." This could suggest one of two things, either BioWare is creating another Dragon Age game and this is a clue, or BioWare has a completely new title in the works that shares similar gameplay aspects.

Hudson also details the upcoming Anthem, he explains that BioWare's main goal when creating a game is that the players should feel as if they are the center of the story. Even though Anthem is a multiplayer title BioWare still chooses to respectfully stand by this rule, Hudson says "In a BioWare game, you should feel like the story is about you. You create your own character, you decide what happens next, and you become the hero. I think the reason people are concerned about whether these things are possible in a multiplayer game is because it just hasn't been solved well before."

The success of Monster Hunter World caused many Nintendo Switch fans to want the game to debut on their handheld console, Capcom has put those requests to the side for now and have decided to bring Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate to the Nintendo Switch next month.

Nintendo Switch players that decide to pick up this title will be able to enjoy the slaying of monsters with up to three friends over local and online multiplayer simultaneously. A side note for players that previously owned Monster Hunter Generations, there is an option to transfer your save data to the Nintendo Switch version, if you choose to.

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate will be releasing on the Nintendo Switch on August 28, for further information regarding Capcom's upcoming title check out the official Monster Hunter website here.

Valve has changed the game up with their new Steam Link app that is on the way, the app will have the capabilities of streaming Steam Library games to both iOS and Andriod devices.

Valve has announced in their news section that two new apps will be released, the Steam Link app and the Steam Video app, the goal of these apps are to "extend Steam's suite of services and accessibility."

Users that download the Steam Link app will be able to access their entire Steam Library of games on their "Android (phone, tablet, TV) and iOS-based (iPhone, iPad, Apple TV) devices while connected via 5GHz network or wired Ethernet to a host system (Mac or PC), with Android access initially offered in beta."

As every Nintendo Switch owner patiently waits for the new Super Smash Bros, a leak for the upcoming titles game engine has surfaced, strangely enough the leak comes from a former Bandai developer.

There is very little confirmed knowledge for the new Super Smash Bros, so far we know Masahiro Sakurai is working on the project and that the title is planned for release sometime this year. Former Bandai Namco developer, Tiago Sonobe has leaked information about the games engine, according to the tweet which has now been removed, the engine for the new Super Smash Bros was actually created by Sonobe and not Nintendo.

After this post was made both the post and the account has been deleted. Nintendo and Bandai are yet to give an official statement about this matter so do take this information with a grain of salt for the time being. Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo Switch will be released sometime this year.

NVIDIA has had yet another record-setting quarter, with the GPU giant posting their fiscal Q1 2019 results with the company pulling in record revenues of $3.21 billion, representing a huge 66% increase compared to last year.

The company made $1.3 billion in operating profit, which is an even larger increase of 134% over last year, with gross margins pumped by 64.5%. NVIDIA says that the margin growth comes down to "higher value platforms in the GPU segment", meaning more high-end graphics cards were sold, with more profit made on each of them.

NVIDIA saw a huge increase in their GPU sales with $2.77 billion, a 77% increase year-on-year with most of the money being made on the gaming side of things with GeForce GTX 10 series cards. GTX 10 series sales represented $1.7 billion of that $2.77 billion, a 68% increase over last year.

UPS has announced that it has teamed with UK-based tech company Arrival, where the two will built 35 new state-of-the-art electric delivery vehicles.

These new EVs will be capable of up to 150 miles of range, will pack Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) which is designed to improve safety, and reduce driver fatigue. The international director for automotive engineering in the advanced technology group at UPS, Luke Wake, said that the new deal will help UPS make new ways to further reduce emissions.

Arrival CEO Denis Sverdlov said the new delivery EVs will feature a unique wrap-around front window that provides drivers with a far wider field of view, which is better for seeing the road, obstacles, bikes, and pedestrians.

Battlefield 5 will be one of the biggest games of 2018, and it seems EA and DICE will be kicking off the major announcements on May 23 according to the latest rumors.

A very dedicated Battlefield 5 fan has found a teaser website that was discovered after solving an easter egg in Battlefield 1 map Fort Vaux. A door was opened that led to a chamber where pipes were dripping in morse code. The teaser website features the #Battlefield hashtag, and a May 23 date.

The game will include a single-player campaign, with EA boss Andrew Wilson saying that BF5 will feature multiple maps and modes in the multiplayer side of things, as well as on-going services that will be enabled on day-one.

The hottest gaming monitor on the market is still in the making, but with each passing month we're getting closer to its release and now we're seeing a new listing for the ASUS ROG Swift PG27UQ.

ASUS might not show much off in its product name, but the ROG Swift PG27UQ is a 27-inch 4K 144Hz monitor with NVIDIA's G-Sync technology. The monitor is listed on sicomputers.nl for a huge $3000, but this will give you HDR10, 1000 nits of brightness, direct LED backlighting, and 384 zones with quantum dot film. We are all here for 3840 x 2160 at 144Hz, though... right?!

We should expect NVIDIA to fully unveil and have them showcased during Computex 2018 which is only a few weeks away, and I'm sure ASUS and Acer will be showing them off in force during the show.

Running backwards usually isn't a fun thing to do in a video game as most of the time it impedes your character in some form or another. Binx Interactive has turned that synopsis on its head with I Hate Running Backwards, which features Serious Sam and other iconic characters.

I Hate Running Backwards will force players into running backwards against hordes of enemies such as skeletal kleer, unstoppable werebulls, headless kamikazes and many more. All of which will be trying to overpower Serious Sam and his chosen partner that will of course have a endless supply of completely overpowered weapons.

I Hate Running Backwards will also be feauturing numerous other characters, Nuclear Throne's Crystal, Chicken-head from Hotline Miami Rambro and even Rambo from Broforce can be spotted. I Hate Running Backwards will be released on May 22.

A new trailer has been released for the Unreal Engine 4 powered hell experience, Agony. Madmind Studio has released the new trailer for their upcoming controversial title.

Recently we heard about the controversy of Agony arriving with a censorship option as the title was slightly to gratuitous. Now, a new trailer has been released and this time Madmind Studio has revealed the games story.

For those that are not aware of what Agony is based around, players will awaken as a tormented soul within the confines of hell. Being a soul allows for players to take command of demons and other forms of life that harbor in hell with you. Currently, Agony is planned for release on May 29th.

On a developer update post from Stunlock Studios, the first screenshots for Battlerite Royale have been released. Accompanied by the screenshots is also the developers focus for the upcoming game mode.

Peter Ilves took to the developers blog to shine a light for fans of Battlerite on the upcoming new battle royale gamemode. Ilves explains the developers goal when designing the new mode, "With 27 Champions out, we are quite satisfied with the current numbers of characters and moving forward we've decided to spend more time on balancing the game and putting more work into new ways of enjoying Battlerite. There will still be more champions and features coming this year, but at the moment we're investing in trying new gameplay experiences, and as such we're happy to present some details about our upcoming game mode, Battlerite Royale."

Peter Ilves continues and says that him and his team wanted to "stay true to Battlerite's action-packed gameplay while giving our players a fresh experience beyond the arena, with the added perk of exploration." If you are interested in the new coming gamemode check out the official developers update on the Battlerite website here.

Google has just blown the industry away with their new TPU 3.0, their next-gen custom-designed processor that is ridiculously over-powered to train machine learning systems.

TPU 3.0 is 8x faster than its predecessor, with the first TPU being released in 2015, the company has made leaps and bounds. A pod of TPU 2.0s packed ASICs that featured 64GB of HBM that pumped out 2.4TB/sec, which is pretty insane. In comparison, the Radeon RX Vega 64 with 8GB of HBM2 is capable of 512GB/sec memory bandwidth.

Google should be the new AI chip champion with its TPU 3.0 ready for TensorFlow use, as well as a refined push into the cloud from Google. The new TPU 3.0 chips are so next-level that they require and use liquid cooling to keep them cool, but provide a huge 100 PFLOPs of machine learning power... crazy stuff.

AMD might not be selling many (see none) Radeon RX Vega graphics cards to PC gamers and miners, but they are cutting Vega GPU cores into smaller amounts and sending them to Intel en masse to pump into their 8th-gen Core processors.

The latest product to feature Radeon RX Vega M GH graphics is the new Chuwi HiGame PC which the company is launching on Indiegogo with special pre-order pricing. Chuwi is offering two variants of its HiGame PC, one that rocks the Core i5-8305G processor, 8GB of DDR4 and 128GB of SSD storage for $1299 (or $999 for the special IndieGogo pricing).

The beefier Core i7-8709G model has the same 8GB of DDR4 but bumps the storage to 256GB for $1499 (or $1299 for the Indiegogo special).

Intel might be working on its first foray into GPUs in the last 20 years, but in the meantime they're continuing to dominate the market with their Xeon CPUs with some rather impressive results coming out of Stanford and the Dawn Benchmark and Competition.

The battle was between Intel's Xeon, Google's TPU v2 and NVIDIA's various GPUs including the Tesla V100. ImageNet used to take around 10 days to be trained, but now it can be done in just 31 minutes thanks to the super-powered Google TPU v2, representing an increase of a mind blowing 477x.

But it's not just brute speed as these companies and universties have to spend millions of dollars on hardware, so cost efficiency plays a big part, and that's where Intel kills it. Without using a GPU at all, Intel Xeon Scalable processors were able to process 10,000 images for just $0.02 and a latency of just 9.96ms.

EA's own upper management strongly underlines the veracity of previous Battlefield V campaign rumors.

A few months ago sources told VentureBeat that Battlefield V's campaign would once again be episodic, meaning every mission or sets of missions would change perspectives in a fresh location, and that the story mode would be complete with optional co-op. Now EA seems to hint these rumors were accurate.

In its most recent Q4'18 earnings call, EA CEO Andrew Wilson said something quite interesting about the next Battlefield game: the exec referred to the game's "singleplayer stories," as in plural. Now this could be a generalization and refer to each mission as telling a different story or something along those lines...or...it could be an indicator that Battlefield V's campaign will have rotating, multi-perspective objectives and levels. The game is also supposedly set in World War II, and given Call of Duty WWII's tremendous success, this makes a lot of sense and offers DICE a natural progressive shift from Battlefield 1's established assets and toolset.

The new Middle Earth: Shadow of War DLC, Desolation of Mordor has been released by Warner Bros. Interactive and Monolith Productions. Also coming with the DLC is the removal of microtransactions.

At the beginning of April it was announced that microtransactions will be removed from Shadow of War. Included within this update is the removing of the microtransactions that plagued Shadow of War, for anyone that is even interested in this title it is available on PC, Xbox One and PS4.

BioWare's title Anthem has finally had its release month announced, March 2019 is the pipeline for the upcoming title.
