GTA 6 Release Date Possible in 2021

We encounter fake news everywhere, be it about persons or about games. There’s an unknown reason why the Grand Theft Auto franchise is the most popular target of these fake news. Probably because of its popularity. Or probably because the developers take their time (which is a lot) to release new games. There are on the internet rumors about GTA 6 since GTA 5 was released, and we understand the excitement of the players. But we think that this time it went too far. GTA Online practically swims in pop-ups which are asking people of they want to pre-order GTA 6 in 2019. This smells funny to us.

Rockstar told Twitter it was all a hoax

Truth be told, we understand why many people believed this whole thing because it must be true if it appeared in-game, right? It’s not like this is a YouTube video which was bad edited. But we think that people got too exited too early. Rockstar has made its plans clear on Twitter, after having a dialogue with one of the players. The developers said that the Flyers are just the idea of some players who are controlling the game with mods and that it isn’t what they had in mind.

We are somewhat impressed. This must have to take a lot of time and patience. However, we’ve seen many rumors about GTA 6, and this one is the poorest of them all.

What we know for sure is that it’s not just a dream– GTA 6 will make its appearance at some point. It’s probably still in developing as we speak, but we don’t think that they got past the conceptualization stage. We don’t know for sure if it will hit the market in this generation of consoles. If you ask us, it probably won’t.

What’s Apple’s opinion on this?

Notwithstanding what people have to say, jailbreaking a gadget is perilous on the off chance that one doesn’t really understand what they’re doing. This is the reason jailbreakers, more often than not, keep two smartphones with them –  one as their main smartphone and the other to be used for the jailbreak.

New Sims 5: What We Know so Far About the Release Date

Can you believe that it’s been already 18 years since you played the first Sims game? The popularity of the game still increases day by day and it started from the very beginning. Electronic Arts, the developer of the game did its best when it came to improving the game with the new features, graphics and all the thousands of accessories that you use, such as clothes and furniture.

EA does not like to hurry

It’s safe to say that EA is taking its time to launch Sims 5. We know, fans everywhere want to game so bad, but EA made a decision some time ago to create DLC content packs for the current Sims 4 game. Still, the DLC is giving fans around the world a reason not to get bored with the game. However, they get impatient every day, because what they really want is Sims 5.

DLCs are profitable

Speaking of Sims 4, the game was released in 2014 and is still being kept alive by DLCs. Notwithstanding, fanatics of the series are getting exhausted and they need another title. Realizing that EA isn’t one to pass up a great opportunity for a chance to make some money, we believe it’s only fair to say that Sims 5 is being produced at present.

The developer has made it a custom to release another Sims game after the present title has been active for at least four years. Considering that Sims 4 has been out for four years now, rumor has it that EA wants to give us the Sims 5 in 2019.

On the off chance that you didn’t have a clue, the motivation behind why EA holds up so long between releasing new games is that DLCs are, actually, gainful.

UC Browser vs. Google Chrome – Best Design, Features and Compatibility

If we were to ask Internet users from Europe and the US which is their favorite browser, many would say that Chrome suits all their needs. However, Asian countries seem to be keener on the UC Browser, because it is their first choice when it comes to search software.

The comparison between them would highlight Chrome’s advantages over the UC Browser. The latter seems old-fashioned, but it’s rapidly catching up, as many other Asian releases seen nowadays. In order to form an opinion, let’s analyse the differences and similarities between the two browsers.

Design

In terms of design, we notice that Google Chrome is more developed than the UC Browser. This performance is due to the fact that, since it has been used for a longer time, Chrome has had more time to work on its design and other features.

Features

Speaking of features, we should mention that these browsers have equal specifications, but this doesn’t mean that they are identical. Although they balance each other, the UC Brower has a very useful page loading and media downloading system which performs every process with amazing speed.

Compatibility

Thanks to its versatility and adaptability, Google Chrome rules the compatibility area. Its main gain is given by the possibility of being used on any type of device (mobile, tablet, laptop or PC). Meanwhile, the UC Browser is only available for mobiles and this can be inconvenient for computer users.

With all things considered, Google Chrome seems to be leading the chart. However, the future might hold some surprises, because there are many possible ways to improve the UC Browser. Its incredible speed is a first step in the right direction, but, most likely, other amazing features will come as soon as it becomes popular in more parts of the world.
