The Success of GTA 5 and How it Affects the Release Date of GTA 6

Grand Theft Auto series belong to a top tier of video games, enjoying a lasting success and constantly growing fan base. Its latest title, GTA 5, has managed to remain at the top for the past five years and it still doesn’t show any signs of decline. Regardless of this, the fans keep waiting impatiently for the launch of a new game in the GTA series. Let’s take a closer look at the way in which the popularity of GTA 5 can affect the release date of GTA 6.

GTA 5 – at the top since 2013

The most recent game of the series, GTA 5, has been released in 2013 for Xbox 360 and PS3. Soon after it became available, the title broke the sales and popularity records. Even today, five years since its launch, GTA 5 remains a very influential game and its group of fans, instead of declining in numbers, keep on growing. The reason behind this longevity can be attributed to frequent releases of patches and other downloadable content, as well as an introduction of GTA Online.

As the game remains at the top, it is unlikely that Rockstar will decide to stop investing in GTA 5, especially since there is still a lot of room for improvement. For now, the company seems to focus on upcoming Red Dead Redemption, which is set to further refresh the game. However, it doesn’t stop the community of fans from speculating about the next title in line – GTA 6. It is rumored that once Red Dead Redemption is released, the company will start looking towards the future.

What is the most probable release date for GTA 6?

It is extremely likely that GTA 6 will not be released for the current console generation, which means that at the earliest, we should expect the new title to be launched in 2020 with the arrival of the next consoles by Microsoft and Sony. However, there is a small chance that GTA 6 would be one of the first games released for the next-gen platforms, so its debut will be postponed further in time.

According to Michael Pachter, a game industry analyst, the release of GTA 6 will happen sometime in 2022. This estimate seems to be quite realistic, as it would place the launch of the title near the end of the premier cycle of games developed for the next-gen consoles. At the moment, it looks like we will have to wait for Red Dead Redemption and beyond, to see what the future brings for GTA 6.

Samsung Galaxy S11 in the Future, Maybe a Samsung Galaxy S20

We know that history is there to give us a lesson right? Do you remember the Huawei P10? After its success, we were expecting the P11. However, the company skipped a few numbers and delivered us the P20 and the P20 Pro.

Richard Yu, the company’s CEO, offered a pretty good explanation as to why that happened. Because they thought that the new version is far better than the P10, they felt that just adding another digit won’t do the new product any justice. That’s how they got up to 20.

July 20th delivered us quite a blow, that we might not see another Galaxy S beyond the S10. Maybe Samsung is shifting its focus on something completely different, like a phone that folds or that looks like a Note but there’s yet another possibility which might be Samsung’s changing its naming convention.

It wouldn’t be the first time that Samsung pulled this on us. In August 2011, when the company introduced the S family of products it became an official naming convention. However, Samsung already had R, W, M, and Y, which means that it could happen again.

In South Korea and the European Union Samsung has registered the A10, A30, A50 and A70 which means that, after Samsung A8, we can expect an A10 or an A30 and so on. This is another clue that the company might try to release a Samsung S20, followed by, perhaps, an S30.

The Galaxy 9 and the Galaxy Note 9 represent the last models featuring a single digit representative. The name convention change could happen in 2020, which is yet another reason for the company to deliver an S20 at the mark of a new decade.

There are even some voices that speak about Samsung opting for simplifying the device names, for example Samsung A30 or Samsung S40. However, since Samsung invested a lot of time and money on furnishing the Galaxy brand, it seems unlikely that this scenario would happen.

Clash of Clans and Pokemon Go Mix will hit App Stores this Summer

Every smartphone owner must have heard at least once about Clash of Clans and Pokemon GO and maybe even played for a while. For those of you that asked themselves ‘’Hmmm, a mixture of Clash and Pokemon GO would be awesome’’, your wish has been granted. Clash&GO will be launched later this summer and promises an interesting mixture between the two games, highlighting the best features of both.

Developed by Leyland, who also created the popular title Draconius GO, the new offering promises geolocation, city-building and RTS elements, all rolled into one. You will be able to walk around in the real world, stop anywhere you like and start a new village, just like you would in Clash of Clans.  For those who do not enjoy PvP, or do not wish to interact with other people, a single-player campaign will also be available.

The main attraction is the fact that you can manipulate the open-world in any way you desire to Build, demolish, reshape, construct a glorious city or wreak havoc on poorly-defended ones. It is all up to you, should you possess the right amount of CGO tokens (it is a free-to-play title after all). The developers even implied Blockchain functionality (hence the CGO tokens).

In a manner similar to Pokemon GO, the game will use live map data, your location, and your camera in order to construct the AR world in real time. Vacant lots are free to take, hidden treasures await you in some places, and useful items can be collected for later use.

You will also be able to build a classic, static base, which can be upgraded and improved by collecting resources. Should you opt-in for PvP you will also need to defend it from raiders in search of easy prey. Clans will also be an option as you and your friends will be able to contest and conquer territories in order to expand your kingdom.

While the game looks promising it remains to be seen just how good it will be at release.

Ethereum (ETH) Improves Day By Day – Constantinople Hard Fork Coming Soon

On 27th July, Ethereum developers announced that the new Ethereum hard fork, Constantinople will be released sometime during the second week of October. The announcement was made during a developer and stakeholder meeting that addressed the issues in the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry with a focus on further upgrades.

The developers also revealed that the test code for the hard fork is being run multiple times by the Foundation and that the principal objective is to make sure the transition occurs smoothly. The Ethereum team has also stated that the hard fork will be created to usher in a new age of blockchain network usage. The developers have also said that they are going to make the Mainnet less expensive and much more efficient to use.

A fact was revealed by the officials of the Ethereum foundation:

“Some of the updates that have reached the implementation phase include EIP 210, which reorganizes the way block hashes are stored in Ethereum, and EIP 145, which increases the speed of arithmetic in the Ethereum virtual machine (EVM). “

You should also expect some other updates such as status channels and different ways of smart contracting with others.

Byzantium has some new features, and here they are:

  • Receipts will have embedded transaction status codes

The Byzantium hard fork lets users do parallel processing of multiple transactions so the task execution will speed up.

  • Cryptography is enhancing

Zk-snarks will be enabled with less power which will be reduced by the four smart contracts which will be implemented.

  • Lesser rewards

After building blocks, others are rewarded. Now, because of Byzantium changes, they will receive three instead of five ethers per block.

In case the users will not be happened with the change, as in 2016, it is still to be seen what will happen.

Crypto Trading Tips & Most Frequent Mistakes To Avoid

Trading crypto is a challenging way to spend your time and money. Transactions involve a rapidly changing process and they usually the cryptosphere is flooded with various events some of the being consequences of transactions and deals. It’s best to try and improve all of your trading skills and understanding of the crypto markets if you want to be successful in this business. The main advice that we have is to start using a cryptocurrency calculator to make sure you’re correctly converting your fiat/crypto. This is the essential thing you should know about. Here are a few more tips that will guarantee you successful transactions and investments.

Placing commands properly

A coin’s value is determined by the last executed transaction and it’s at the junction between buyers and sellers. The supply and demand commands are placed in a table which is known as the order book. The crypto space is all about volatility, and you will have to learn how to identify both resistance and support areas correctly. For this, you will have to analyze the graph of a coin. You have to watch out for sell levels to take profit and stop levels to minimize loss.

Understanding graph analysis

Most cryptos are traded against the USD and analyzing the graphs of these coins will have to be made while comparing them to their Bitcoin graph and their dollar value graph.

Get over your emotions

As cheesy as it may seem, you have to get over your feelings after you’ve experienced an unsuccessful trade and you have to be ready for everything while you’re in the cryptosphere because risk lurks at every corner. Don’t ever regret missed profit and don’t ever feel guilty about lost trades.

Here are some common mistakes that entry-level crypto enthusiasts usually make:

Don’t search for crashed coins

This is a mistake that many crypto enthusiasts make. They’re searching for crashed coins, hoping that they’ll eventually go up again. Well, it’s time you learned that this doesn’t always happen, so don’t count on it.

Don’t just look at a coin’s price

Instead of looking at a coin’s price, you should be looking at its market cap. The same way that you assess a company by its market cap performance, the same way you should do for cryptos. When you’re examining potential investment in certain coins on CoinMarketCap for instance, make sure to look at their market cap and focus less on the price of a single currency.

Don’t invest all your money in a single crypto

Usually, it’s best to keep Bitcoin as your base asset and have a varied wallet. Look at the bigger picture and don’t forget that investing in crypto is just an investment option and there are others available as well which include real estate, stock markets, and more investment opportunities. It’s vital to spread the risk among the crypto portfolio and in the whole investment portfolio.

Closing words

A good dealer always acknowledges the mistakes and analyzes them in order to learn something and improve the skills for future understanding of the market.
