While the Apple Watch smartwatches are some of the best smartwatches around, competing wearables are always knocking on Apple’s door, so the company is turning to the novel solution of making the Apple Watch band almost as smart as the device itself. Judging by the filing date, we could see this tech in the Apple Watch 6, but more likely the Watch 7. What did we think of the Apple Watch 5? EMG tech is used to monitor muscular activity by doctors, and its use in the Apple Watch would let the devi

Narcos: Rise of the Cartels contains almost none of this, and instead tries to tell the story of the Medellin Cartel exclusively through XCOM style turn based tactical combat. Narcos the TV show was clearly trying to acknowledge the amoral tactics employed by the police, but Narcos the game only really does so via the fact that it contains clips from the show. (Image credit: Curve Digital)I’m not against depicting the drug war in a strategy game, but Rise of the Cartels doesn’t really interspers

We’re half-way through Fortnite Chapter 2’s first season, but Epic’s decided to extend it beyond the regular ten weeks, keeping it around until an unspecified date in February. “With a new year comes new beginnings,” Epic’s update reads. To prepare for all the new holiday-themed updates, we will be extending Chapter 2’s first season into early February. Thankfully, the holidays are a bit like a mini-season, so you’ll still have new stuff to keep you content until Season 2 begins early next year.

Starting now, you can ruin your fellow players’ leisurely car trips across the map in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds with a handy new spike trap. Update 5.2’s spike traps, not surprisingly, puncture tires, and you’ll be able to find them scattered over the maps, waiting to be added to your arsenal. You’ll need to find multiple spike traps if you want to ambush more than just one car. It’s not nearly as flashy as spike traps, but it’s probably going to get a lot more use. You can find out more abo

The first campaign expansion for Borderlands 3 was revealed today as Moxxi’s Heist of the Handsome Jackpot, a plot to take control of the gaudiest gambling joint in the galaxy. The Handsome Jackpot was built by Handsome Jack back when he was president of the Hyperion Corporation (the name is kind of a giveaway) but these days it’s crawling with “lunatic looters” and loader bots gone wild. Moxxi’s Heist of the Handsome Jackpot is the first of four DLC packs planned for Borderlands 3, and is built

A Joker sequel is reportedly in the works at Warner Bros.Director Todd Phillips will also be developing at least one DC origin story in the mould of the Clown Prince of Crime’s billion-dollar hit. As revealed by sources close to The Hollywood Reporter , Phillips is in talks to direct the Joker sequel. He would also potentially write the script alongside Scott Silver, who co-wrote the first Joker movie. During an October meeting, he reportedly asked Warner Bros. for the rights to create a suite o

Divinity: Original Sin 2, which took the coveted top spot in the PC Gamer Top 100, is getting the board game treatment. Divinity Original Sin: The Board Game is a story-driven adventure for four players. Original Sin 2 itself leans heavily on D&D and tabletop roleplaying, so I’m surprised it’s been adapted to a more structured board game than a tabletop RPG. The broad stuff doesn’t sound particularly evocative of Original Sin 2, but combat, elements and skills seem a lot more familiar. The board

Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order has a bit of a Metroidvania vibe going on, so naturally it’s filled with secrets to uncover. As level designer Nicholas Cameron explained on Twitter , one of the game’s most touching secrets is hidden in plain sight: a tribute to Cameron’s late father, Martin Cameron. As Nicholas Cameron explained on Twitter, his father worked as a game artist back in the day, and even contributed to a Star Wars game of his own: 1997’s X-Wing vs. Sadly, he passed away last year, so h

We may now know the PS5 price and release date, if a new leak is to be believed. Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) will launch PlayStation®5 (PS5™) in several countries in the holiday season of 2020 and will make PlayStation®5 (PS5™) available in North America on November 20, 2020 at a recommended retail price (RRP) of $499 pic.twitter.com/fe4jKlHmrHNovember 19, 2019What are the details? We knew the PS5 was due for release in late 2020, so a November 20 release would make sense. Presumably as

Borderlands 3’s first story DLC, Moxxi’s Heist of the Handsome Jackpot, is launching on December 19 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, and promises to let Vault Hunters take on the “ultimate casino heist” in a brand new setting with more enemies, missions and, of course, loot. Moxxi’s Heist of the Handsome Jackpot thus includes a fresh mini-campaign with its own series of missions, side missions, crew missions, and boss fights, alongside more cosmetics to deck out your Vault Hunter with alongside a flur

Dataminer Hypex dropped some reveals on their Twitter account Wednesday morning, stating with confidence that Epic Games is bringing back two previously vaulted Fortnite weapons. The first weapon is the Heavy Assault Rifle, which funnily enough was vaulted quite recently. Weapon number two is the Scoped Assault Rifle, another rifle vaulted with patch 11.0. The Scoped Assault Rifle will be available as both an uncommon and rare, while the Heavy Assault Rifle will be available as both an epic and

Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index declined about 1.5%, as of its final hour of trading, with shares of Chinese tech behemoth Tencent falling 1.85%. Mainland Chinese stocks declined also ended their trading day lower, with the Shanghai composite down 0.25% to around 2,903.64 and the Shenzhen component shedding 0.35% to 9,774.44. Asia stocks declined on Thursday following a report that an anticipated “phase one” trade deal between the U.S. and China may not be inked by the end of 2019. Reuters reported,

The Chinese yuan fell to a three-week low in onshore trade on concern that a failure to reach a deal to roll back U.S. tariffs could deal a fresh blow to China’s stuttering economy. Hong Kong has been rocked by months of increasingly violent protest against Chinese rule of the former British colony. The passage of a U.S. law supporting the protesters could undermine efforts to secure a trade deal. Elsewhere, China’s yuan fell in the onshore market to 7.0450 versus the dollar, the weakest since N

OPEC meets on Dec. 5 at its headquarters in Vienna, followed by talks with a group of other oil producers, lead by Russia, known as OPEC+. The current supply cuts deal runs through to March 2020. Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday Russia and OPEC had “a common goal” of keeping the oil market balanced and predictable, and Moscow would continue cooperation under a global deal cutting oil supply. A Reuters report on Wednesday said completion of a “phase one” U.S.-China trade deal co

Gold prices eased on Thursday as a report that China has invited top U.S. negotiators for a new round of talks rekindled some hopes regarding the U.S.-China trade deal, but mixed signals on the progress of talks limited bullion’s losses. If stocks continue to go higher and there is some optimism about the trade deal, then I am expecting gold to have a washout,” said Daniel Pavilonis, senior market strategist at RJO Futures. The Wall Street Journal also reported that Beijing has invited U.S. trad

European stocks closed lower on Thursday as Sino-U.S. relations came under strain over Hong Kong, fueling concerns a “phase one” trade deal between the two powerhouses may be pushed into 2020. The pan-European Stoxx 600 was 0.4% lower at the closing bell, with almost every sector and all major bourses in negative territory. Basic resources, a sector heavily exposed to China, slipped 1.5% to lead losses, while autos stocks bucked the trend to end the session above the flatline. Across the Atlanti
