For Marvel’s Avengers players, the upcoming month is an exciting one, as the superhero game of Crystal Dynamic is finally receiving its long-promised next-gen console upgrade and adding Hawkeye to the game’s lineup. You can watch the trailer for the next-gen update, having footage captured on the PS5.

Square Enix has not gone into more details that, what kind of next-gen update will offer, simply saying to expect “upgraded visuals and framerate, haptic feedback for each hero, significantly faster load times, improved destruction, and heroic detail.”

There is also a new trailer for the Operation: Hawkeye update, which includes the sharp archer and the new Future Imperfect story mission.

And, here is a 10-minute deep dive video for more information on Hawkeye.

Here is what you are going to do in the Future Imperfect storyline…

“In Future Imperfect, a storyline inspired by Marvel Comics’ Old Man Hawkeye series and the Hawkeye “My Life as a Weapon” storyline, you will be taking Clint on a perilous journey to a future Earth and stepping into a new biome known as the Wasteland to find the missing Nick Fury, come face-to-face with the villain Maestro, and save the world. Did we mention his canine pal Lucky will also be featured in this Operation?”

Hawkeye is able to handle his enemies with an array of different arrows, including boomerang, grapple, tripwire, recovery, rocket, and the AI-guided Hunter’s Arrow variants.

Liverpool have no plans to part with Jürgen Klopp; contract extensions in the works

0

Despite Liverpool’s recent troubles on the pitch, Jürgen Klopp was under no pressure or threat of being sacked. He wasn’t about planning on leaving the club either. The news linking the German to a step down from the job at Anfield has been labeled fake news about sacking him by Fabrizio Romano and Francesco Porzio on the Here We Go podcast. 

Liverpool has been on a difficult stretch in the Premier League, and it all started off when they lost their unbeaten streak at home to Burnley in a 1-0 defeat. Since then, the Merseysiders have lost 5 of their last 8 games, with defeats to Brighton and Hove Albion, Southampton, and Manchester City along with the one to the Clarets.

The last three matches at Anfield have all ended in shocking results, with the reigning Champions losing all three fixtures against Burnley, Manchester City, and Brighton. 

Everybody around Liverpool wants to keep him and has a lot of faith in him to be content at the club and lead them forward. Fabinho and Van Dijk are in talks to extend their respective contracts at the club. And then, once the contracts of the two defenders are agreed upon, the Merseyside club will look towards the extension of Mo Salah. 

Extending contracts is very important for every club since in this market, it is almost like signing a brand new player with the finances being so heavily affected across all platforms. 

Liverpool did manage to pick out the start of a silver lining in their Champions League victory against Leipzig in the first leg, with the second leg yet to be contested.

Behind the scenes of the David Alaba transfer saga

0

David Alaba has confirmed that he will be leaving Bayern Munich at the end of the current season, and it’s a big announcement. Talks with Real Madrid have been going on, which has been the case since the beginning of January. 

His agent is talking with five different clubs, namely, PSG, City, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Madrid, regarding his client’s services. Liverpool made an important bid from an economic point of view, and Chelsea did too. Many bids have come from the two Premier League teams, while Manchester City has remained rather quiet regarding their interest in the player. 

A salary worth €12 million has been agreed for four years with Real Madrid, which will allow Austrian to stay at the Spanish capital until 2025. There have been rumors doing the rounds that Alaba was actually demanding a €20 million per season salary; however that is not true.

Commissions could push the price of the deal up, alongside the salary promised to the player. His priority is joining Real Madrid, as has been widely documented in recent times, but it is worth noting that anything can happen in situations like this. 

Simeone hails Luis Suarez after superb debut

For example, Luis Suarez was supposed to join Juventus in the summer of 2020, while David Silva was expected to reach a total agreement with Lazio before they switched their destinations to Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad, respectively. 

Real Madrid is still leading the race for the player due to his ambitions of playing for them, and the contract could be signed in the next few days. However, no such agreement to sign the papers has been reached yet. 

Square Enix’s Outriders is going to hit Stadia in early April

0

A brand new action RPG and shooter hybrid Outriders from Square Enix is coming for multiple platforms. The game will release on 1st April for all consoles, which indicates that the Stadia users don’t have to wait for more time than the other console players who get their hands early on the game. If you are willing to play on Stadia, you can dive into the game at the same time as everyone else.

Below, here is a glimpse that you can expect from Outriders, courtesy of the developer:

OUTRIDERS is a 1-3 player co-op RPG shooter set in an original, dark and desperate sci-fi universe. As humanity bleeds out in the trenches of Enoch, you’ll create your own Outrider and embark on a journey across the hostile planet.

With rich storytelling spanning a diverse world, you’ll leave behind the slums and shantytowns of the First City and traverse forests, mountains, and desert in the pursuit of a mysterious signal.

Combining intense gunplay with violent powers and an arsenal of increasingly twisted weaponry and gear-sets, OUTRIDERS offers countless hours of gameplay from one of the finest shooter developers in the industry – People Can Fly.

INTENSITY OF A SHOOTER

The brutal and bloody combat of the game creates frenetic gunplay, violent powers, and deep RPG to create an impressive genre hybrid.

A DARK AND DESPERATE JOURNEY

Explore the hostile planet of Enoch as you embark on a journey through the surface of a mysterious signal.

DYNAMIC 1-3 PLAYER CO-OP

You can play as a single-player or can join up to two players in the drop-in-drop-out co-op as you tackle the horrors of a hyper-evolved planet.

FOUR UNIQUE CLASSES

Create your own Outrider and customize as of your own with plenty of items of mod-able guns and gears.

Last year, wccftech wrote about Outriders:

“Outriders already looks like what a cross-gen shooter should be aiming to achieve in 2020. Particle effects scatter about with each explosion or glorified headshot, character models look almost as good in gameplay as they do during brief cutscenes, and it all runs smoothly on the high-end PCs we ran our preview demos on, even if the pre-beta build isn’t optimized yet. With Outriders being one of the first cross-platform games to bridge the game into the next generation of PlayStation and Xbox, this is one title to keep an eye on once People Can Fly is ready to talk about their plans for next-gen console gaming.”

Outriders is going to hit Stadia, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC on April 1.

Lumiford launches three Bluetooth headphones with upto 12 hours of playback time in India

Indian audio market has grown immensely over the past few years. Thanks to Covid-19 pandemic, there will be hardly any corporate working household without a headset. The main reason behind the boom is the evolution of the true wireless earbuds. The TWS has helped the users to take the benefit of earphones without getting stuck in the wires of earphones. 

Lumiford, the Indian consumer electronics brand, is ready to step ahead and take benefit of this booming market. When the demand is high in the market, as a company you don’t have to innovate much. Lumiford is trying to capitalise on that growth by launching more products. The new products will attract more customers. Expansion of portfolio will aid Lumiford in eating their competitor’s market share and increase their own pie. The company has decided to launch three new products which can lure more customers towards them. These new products are named Lumiford HD50, Lumiford HD60 and Lumiford HD70 headphones. 

They all are a part of their Long Drive HD series. All three headsets will come along foldable headband design. This design helps the user by increasing or decreasing the size of the headband so that you personalize on the basis of your requirement. The other two impressive and attracting features of this series of headphones are 40mm HD True-Bass Drivers and passive noise cancellation. 

Lumiford HD headphones Lumiford launches three Bluetooth headphones with upto 12 hours of playback time in India

One thing to note is that none of the three offers you Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). This is one aspect which can really demotivate the customers to head towards the three Lumiford products. They have a frequency response range of 20Hz to 20KHz. 

The three headsets house a 400mAh battery cell and support fast charging which is very crucial for users who cannot charge their headset over and over again. The battery will last for 10 hours on the HD50 and can give you up to up to 12 hours of playback on the HD60 and HD70.

Messi unhappy with Barcelona again; Koeman to be SACKED if Barcelona get knocked out by PSG

0

After Barcelona’s humiliating defeat to PSG in the Champions League, Messi’s final decision about his future could be one that fans won’t want to hear since he is not happy with things at the club. 

Barcelona Presidential Candidate Joan Laporta said that Messi is not only looking for a big contract but also wants to win, most importantly. He is tired of such outrageous exits from European competition, with the ghosts of Roma, Liverpool and Bayern still haunting the Blaugrana, with PSG ominously waiting to be conjured.

The Argentinian wants to win, and that was the reason why he sent the burofax to Barcelona requesting a transfer. He lost faith in the club and realised he can’t win the coveted Champions League with the team that Barcelona have now. 

Seeing a natural born winner like him like this is sad for football fans. The terrible feeling around him is that he wants to prove himself in a great team. He wants to play with top players. It’s not just about him performing, but about the team too. And the Champions League takes top priority.

With the Presidential elections coming up in March, the project at Barcelona is very important not only to fans who want a clear picture, but also to Lionel Messi for him to take a decision on his future at the club. 

Moreover, speaking on the Here We Go podcast on Patreon, Fabrizio Romano stated that Ronald Koeman could be sacked if Barca lose against PSG which, all things considered, is more likely to happen than not. 

PSG News roundup: Keane, Florenzi and Dele Alli summer transfer

Alessandro Florenzi is currently impressing heavily, on loan at Paris Saint-Germain from Roma. The Italian has been a vital part of the PSG squad and has been putting in tireless shifts on the right flank. The player wants to stay at his new home, according to Fabrizio Romano and Francesco Porzio on the Here We Go podcast on Patreon. 

PSG also want to keep him, according to the Italian transfer guru’s latest episode, and the situation will unravel in the coming months. They want him as part of the squad for the next season. 

florenzi PSG News roundup: Keane, Florenzi and Dele Alli summer transfer

Moving on to another deal that could finalise in the summer, Dele Alli was close to the club in January but nothing went down due to Spurs being unable to find a replacement. With that said, PSG still have him as a target for next summer. Manager Mauricio Pochettino was working with Alli closely at Spurs and was not allowed big transfers. They have since had a good relationship and could reunite if the French Champions manage to strike a deal for the Englishman. 

Elsewhere, and to another Italian hero of the PSG squad, Moise Keane was written off from Everton, but he had Mino Raiola backing him and went to PSG on loan. The Parisians do not have a buy option for the player. He wasn’t performing at Everton, and hence, it was essential to send him out on loan for the best interests of all parties.

Juventus were trying to sign him on loan with buy option as a replacement for Gonzalo Higuain, who has since been rightfully replaced by Alvaro Morata at the club. Everton wanted a €45 million buy-back clause for Keane, which the Bianconeri refused to work with. 

However, despite all that said, Moise Keane could work well with Everton and could star at Goodison Park next season. Carlo Ancelotti is an admirer of the Italian’s talents and could certainly use a player of his calibre and fresh experience.
