Elden Ring Comes with a New Trailer, Also Announces the Release Date

0

Now, we got our first look at Elden Ring. There are lots of questions arising after watching the three-minute trailer. The game is going to be released on 21st January 2022.

Elden Ring is a collaboration between Game of Thrones writer George R.R. Martin and Dark Souls developer FromSoftware. The development team of FromSoftware and the game director Hidetaka Miyazaki are responsible for writing the story of Elden Ring but outsourced the world, lore, and mythos to Martin.

In 2019, Miyazaki told in an interview, “Even when compared to the Dark Souls series, I believe this title will provide even more variety in the ways for players to overcome challenges and tweak their tactics when facing enemies. Due to this, the scale of the world and its narrative, as well as the depth and freedom of exploration have increased dramatically,” Miyazaki said. “It is without a doubt our biggest title yet in terms of sheer volume.”

“There are many definitions to the term ‘open-world,’ and I might not be phrasing it correctly, but we have simply tried our own approach to a game with a large, open field to play in. This mythos proved to be full of interesting characters and drama along with a plethora of mystical and mysterious elements as well. It was a wonderful source of stimulus for me and the development staff”, he added.

It seems, Elden Ring features many similar elements to Dark Souls, such as swords and sorcery, giant mythical monsters to fight, and summonable allies. The last time we heard about this game was in 2019 when FromSoftware and Bandai Namco officially unveiled it.

Elden Ring will be launched on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 in the next year.

Electric Flying Taxis in the United States

As a kid, I used to watch “The Jetsons” and “Back to the Future,” and watch the characters fly their way back and forth work. Isn’t it fascinating how we could bid goodbye to the traffic and fly back home! Well you might just see flying cars in the United States soon.

Electric Flying Taxis are gaining popularity in the States lately. The latest inclusion into this party is American Airlines. American Airlines Group Inc. is planning on getting in on the flying taxi trend. Various other airlines, aerospace manufacturers, and tech companies have lately shown interest in the space too. American Airlines plans to invest around $25 million in Vertical Aerospace Group Ltd.

Electric Flying Taxis in the United States
The Current Picture

Vertical is a U.K.-based electric aircraft startup. It plans to conduct the first test flight of its new VA-X4 aircraft later this year. American Airlines plans to buy approximately 250 (or up to a whopping 1000) of Vertical’s upcoming flying taxis. Both the airlines and financiers look to back the emerging technology.

The aircraft are electric and they take off and land vertically similar to helicopters. They could fly past congested city roads to get passengers to and from airports in way less time. These flying cabs will of course take time to become a reality and American’s order is also dependent on Vertical aircraft’s approval by regulators and other milestones.

Vertical said its VA-X4 aircraft has the capacity to hold 4 passengers and a pilot. It can fly at speeds of more than 300 kilometers an hour and has a range of more than 150 kilometers. Vertical is aiming to begin commercial operations from 2024.

In February, United Airlines also announced a team-up with US regional carrier Mesa Airlines to invest in flying taxi firm Archer. Archer’s eVTOL (electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft is a part of the nearly $1bn order!

This race towards a more efficient and time-saving mode of transport will be an amazing one to keep an eye on. America has shown a growing interest in this space and we can expect some electric flying taxis flying in the American skies soon!

Xiaomi’s next smartwatch may come with Qi wireless charging: Leaks

In the domestic mobile phone market this year, in addition to the endless emergence of new mobile phones, related products have also been launched by major manufacturers. Among them, smartwatches are most closely related to mobile phones. Xiaomi’s smartwatches launched so far are all charged with a magnetic base. Now there is news that Xiaomi is developing a new smartwatch that supports Qi wireless charging.

According to the news released by the Digital Chat Station, in a screenshot of the latest developer version of MIUI, a section of wireless reverse charging appears, and it also shows the watch placed on the back of the Xiaomi smartphone. A message seems to suggest that Xiaomi will launch a smartwatch that supports wireless charging.

This information was found in the latest version of MIUI for developers. The caption in Chinese at the top reads “Wireless Reverse Charging” and below shows the clock located on the back of the Xiaomi smartphone.

The information on this screenshot also includes a paragraph of text “please place devices that support Qi wireless charging (mobile phones, wearable devices, etc.) at the center of the back of this phone”, and there is also a switch button for wireless reverse charging.

Xiaomi's next smartwatch may come with Qi wireless charging: Leaks

As you can see from the picture, the watch will support wireless reverse charging, and the appearance picture is similar to the current Xiaomi smartwatch, using a square design, and there is also a round rotatable crown in the upper right corner. This design is consistent with the first generation of smartwatches currently on sale by Xiaomi.

The current Xiaomi watch is equipped with a 1.78-inch AMOLED screen, the processor is Qualcomm 3100, and the system is MIUI For Watch, which supports eSIM card independent networking. Xiaomi launched the Xiaomi watch equipped with the Snapdragon Wear3100 in November 2019, which is the first smartwatch of Xiaomi. The lite version of this watch was launched in China in January as the Mi Watch Color version. Mi watches are available in other markets including India.

At present, in the smartwatch market, Xiaomi’s share is not high. The main share is occupied by manufacturers such as Apple, Samsung, and Huawei. However, Xiaomi may win some entry-level market shares with a higher price/performance ratio. Other hardware information will wait for further official announcements from Xiaomi.

Copa America to go ahead in Brazil from this Sunday

0

The 2021 Copa America will begin this Sunday as Brazil is set to host the tournament. Argentina and Colombia withdrew as hosts due to the massive surge of coronavirus cases in their respective countries. 

However, despite over 480,000 reported deaths due to the virus in Brazil, the tournament is set to go ahead. Brazil’s president, Jair Bolsonaro is known as a right-wing politician and has criticised the government officials for reducing jobs due to coronavirus. 

brazil vs argentina

The fact that fans will not be allowed to attend games also does not sit well with Bolsonaro. He did not hesitate to volunteer Brazil’s services to host the tournament once Argentina had opted out due to safety concerns. 

Sponsors have also been called out regarding their involvement with Copa America. And now, companies such as MasterCard, Ambev, Johnnie Walker, Smirnoff and Tanquera have assured that their products will not be promoted at the tournament.

The Brazil national team was also not willing to participate in the tournament due to similar concerns about safety. National team captain Casemiro also skipped press duties to protest against the same. But, new information reveals that the team will rather unwillingly go ahead with their participation. 

“We are against the organisation of the Copa America, but we will never say no to the Brazilian national team,” said players and members of Brazil’s coaching staff in a statement released on Tuesday

Laporta’s revolution: Reinstate La Masia as the best youth academy

According to ESPN’s Moisés Llorens, the Barcelona board has decided to remove Garcia Pimienta, the head coach of Barcelona B. This is a completely unexpected turn of events. Pimienta was rumoured to be in the running to succeed Ronald Koeman as head coach of the first team, alongside the likes of Xavi. The news, therefore, comes off as a shock.

The 46-year-old was Barcelona’s longest-serving coach, having spent his entire coaching career with the Catalan club. At Barcelona B, he developed players such as Riqui Puig, Moriba, and Collado. His faith in the young talents and total football style of play would have earned him a strong contender to succeed Koeman.

Joan Laporta took the action since he reportedly intends to fully restructure La Masia. A large part of his presidential campaign was based on restoring Barcelona to its roots, which included reformulating the youth system. Under Joan Laporta, a number of employees in senior positions at La Masia were fired and replaced with former occupants in order to re-emphasize La Masia’s importance in the Barcelona DNA.

Despite the Spanish coach’s impressive performance, the president is likely seeking a clean slate to start his first full season as the club’s president. Xavi is deemed a clear favourite to take the job. In a recent interview, the former player stated that he was ready to coach the first squad.

Xavi could be an option for Barcelona B (photo via Marca)

Xavi, on the other hand, has stated that he has no plans to handle Barcelona B. He said, “It is not my plan to coach Barcelona B. I’m a men’s football coach, and the B team is a development squad.”

It’s unclear whether Laporta will try to persuade Xavi to reconsider his mind or choose a whole new coach. Pimienta’s stint as Barcelona B manager, however, has come to an end, according to reliable reports.
