Mass Effect 5 Update – Game Suggestions and Potential Improvements

Since the most recent Mass Effect game was released back in March 2017, fans of the popular Sci-Fi video game series have been waiting for the announcement of the newest version. At the moment this seems unlikely to happen because the game’s developers are focused on another project. Still, the community of fans keeps on discussing about potential improvements, based on which a game even better than Andromeda could be developed. In this article, we will talk about some possible changes proposed by fans.

Here are some of the suggestions that we have gathered:

  • Instead of allowing us to explore multiple open worlds, the game should focus on the storyline and the characters.
  • The game developers should try to choose quality over quantity, to create a more original set of enemies, with unique abilities.
  • In order to add excitement to the game, the villains should have more complex personalities.
  • Rather than a failed idea of resource gathering, ready-made weapons should be available to collect.
  • The game’s storyline should contain more references to the original Mass Effect trilogy.
  • In addition to pure shooting, diplomacy should be brought back as an option.
  • BioWare should consider adding new alien races.
  • The gameplay must be enriched with more choices that will really matter in the scenario.
  • The game developers could give more importance to the romance in Mass Effect.
  • Gamers should be allowed to choose to play as an alien character as well, in order to see things from a different perspective.

The ball is now in BioWare’s court and it will be interesting to see how the fifth game of the series will be like. If they decide to take fans’ suggestions into consideration, then we can be sure that the new game will be a success.

Xiaomi Mi 8 vs. iPhone X – Slightly Better Specs vs Affordable Price

Xiaomi Mi 8 was recently launched and it’s taking smartphone industry by storm. There aren’t that many Android smartphones which can compare against the likes of iPhone X, but it seems like Xiaomi Mi 8 might just be able to get the job done. With that being said, today we are going to pin Xiaomi Mi 8 and iPhone X against each other and see which one comes out on top.

Top-Notch Display

The biggest similarity between Xiaomi Mi 8 and iPhone X is their top-notch display. Therefore, we are going to start with the display technology. iPhone X is renowned for its sleek looking 5.8-inch OLED Super Retina display that features a high pixel resolution of 2,436 x 1,125 and 458ppi. On the other hand, Xiaomi Mi 8 ships with a larger 6.21-inch AMOLED panel which features a slightly smaller Full HD pixel resolution of 2,248 x 1,080 and 402ppi.

Hardware Power

Leaving the display technology aside, hardware power is all that really matters when it comes to high-end smartphones such as Xiaomi Mi 8 and iPhone X. Xiaomi Mi 8 is fueled by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 845 CPU which is paired with 6GB of RAM and 64GB/128GB or 256GB of internal storage space.

Apple equipped its flagship smartphone with its own-made hexa-core A11 Bionic CPU which is known to be more powerful than Xiaomi Mi 8’s Snapdragon 845. On the downside of things, iPhone X’s CPU is paired with only 3GB of RAM and 64GB/256GB of internal storage space.

Final Words

From the looks of it, Apple’s high-end iPhone X is the device which has the upper hand in this brief comparison. However, we should mention that iPhone X is priced at $999 while Xiaomi Mi 8 can be purchased for only $420 which gives it a great advantage.

WWDC: Finally the Time for a MacBook Air Update

With Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference starting today, many users and fans of MacBook Air are wondering if any updates for this device will be announced. Last year’s WWDC gave us only a small modification of the CPU specifications, so maybe this time some more significant changes will be revealed.

Since 2008, when MacBook Air was first launched, this subnotebook belonging to the Apple family has not been changed much, with a last more or less important update dating back to 2015. When it comes to design, this device remains pretty much the same as it has been for the past 10 years. In the world of rapid advancement of technology, a decade without any significant changes is way too long.

There are two newer options: a slightly more powerful MacBook Pro and a device simply named MacBook. However, MacBook Air already has a large group of fans amongst Apple customers, especially since at $999 it’s regarded as good value for money. Even though this subnotebook remained virtually unchanged since its introduction, many users keep choosing it over the two more expensive models that we mentioned before. This wasn’t changed even with the launch of iPad Pro, which is being heavily promoted by Apple. It simply proves that there is still place for MacBook Air in the market.

Next move belongs to Apple. They have two options: they can either announce an update for MacBook Air at the WWDC event that takes place this week, or rather make a decision to stop supporting this version of the subnotebook and start promoting newer, more expensive products. As for now, the first choice seems to be more likely, however, Apple’s strategy of higher prices makes the future of MacBook Air uncertain. We look forward to this week’s Apple Worldwide Developers Conference in hope that we will learn more.

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Update – What We Know So Far?

If you are an Assassin’s Creed fan you probably already heard about Odyssey, the upcoming game in the franchise. Nonetheless, Ubisoft did not reveal too many details about the game until now. We do know that we will receive more information during the E3. Before that happens, we are here to share with you everything we know so far, including rumors and speculations.

What will we see at E3

The official name of the installment is Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. It is not too likely that we will get the game anytime soon, as Ubisoft already released Assassin’s Creed Origins last fall. Nonetheless, we were told that there is something which will be revealed during the press conference, so we can hope for a sneak peek. There is also a chance that Odyssey might come out sooner than expected, as Assassin’s Creed had a tradition of releasing a new installment every single year.

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey details

The news about the game was leaked by Walmart Canada, which has become a trusted source when it comes to game leaks. Another report which was posted by JeuxVideo revealed a collectible keychain. On the packaging we can see the name “Assassin’s Creed Odyssey” and it comes with some visual clues as well.

For example, the keychain looks like an Ancient Greek helmet. If we think about the name of the game as well, it is not hard to guess that Ancient Greece will be involved in the next game. There is also a small teaser video which has showed up online, in which we can see someone being kicked off a cliff. For most viewers, this appeared to be a reference to the 300 movie, which would confirm the Ancient Greece theory.

iOS 14 Will Most Probably be the Best Apple Software so far

Every time iPhone launches a new phone, it gets a great deal of attention, since any future iPhone is believed to be the best, having the fastest processor and the best camera, along with new features that you won’t be able to see on any other iPhone. All of that might just be true, but as technology advances, there’s one essential thing that we need to keep our eyes on: artificial intelligence. This will be of prime importance to new iPhones and operating systems and we’re definitely going to see some improvements with the iOS 14 expected in 2020.

We know by now that Apple is creating a new iPhone chip designed precisely for AI, which is clearly in accordance with the company’s preference to have personalization features powered by AI on devices while maintaining the protection of user privacy.

Siri will definitely get smarter

One of the key features that use AI-processing power is Siri and we expect it to become more powerful and more intelligent with iOS 14, since it will play quite a significant role in Apple’s operating system. It does look like Apple is making plans for more text-based Siri interactions.

Similar to the way Google sends reminders to users about when to leave for work, Siri would be able to analyze data from Apple’s apps and create reminders based on the collected information. We could even witness some changes to the Mail and Photos features, as well as to the daily alarms, which could be automatically turned on or off by Siri, based on the user’s calendar. Thus, we might see a transition from the Siri we know today, solely as an assistant, to an intelligent Siri that could help you manage your life more effectively than ever.

Personalization of the features

However, Siri will not be the only way new versions of iOS will get smarter, as most of the future operating system from Apple will be affected by AI. We expect to see new levels of personalization applied to even the simplest tasks. One of the possible changes could apply to users’ home screen: iOS could automatically select for you the apps to be placed on the screen, based on what it “thinks” you might use in a specific moment.

Nevertheless, the level of personalization will extend far beyond our imagination.
