While some of us regret our purchases, there was one token PSVR 2 game in Sony’s presentation today... and Hitman World of Assassination looks good! A bit bloody, fair warning. If I owned the headset, I’d probably buy it. More details here. It’s coming December as a $10 upgrade for the base flatscreen game.
Preorders open October 3rd. Also, there’s a new split-screen mode for Lego Fortnite.
These good old games can cost serious money to play on genuine discs, even assuming you’ve got an old console — so it’s great Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete and Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete are coming back! Sony announced them today for PS4 and PS5 but they’ll hit Switch, Xbox and Steam too.
They’ll have “Updated visuals, widescreen mode, and more” when they arrive as the Lunar Remastered Collection, in spring of 2025. More details here.
Was it too good to be true? Perhaps if you’re a pro — but when I slapped Anker’s $35 MagSafe gadget to the back of an iPhone 15 Pro and shot in ProRes Log, I did get several consecutive minutes of usable 4K60 footage.
For most of us, it’s just a fast SD reader that makes for an awkward grip on the phone.
Meta tried to settle, and it tried to appeal, but former moderators and the Kenyan courts have now rejected both attempts according to The Associated Press. In the US, Meta settled with content moderators for $52 million in 2020, after some were diagnosed with PTSD.
Last year, Kenya also ordered Meta to provide mental health care to moderators.
The Beelink EX Docking Station is a $159 staircase of a gadget that connects a mini-PC to a desktop GPU, with built-in 600W PSU. Beelink claims no performance hit, with PCIe x8 direct connect rather than USB or Oculink.
Beelink’s been around for a while; it just announced a $999 AMD Strix Point mini-PC too. The eGPU only works with its Intel models, though.
