Budget Cuts stealth game for PlayStation VR to now unveil on September 25

0
After announcing that Neat Corporation’s Budget Cuts stealth game for PlayStation VR will launch on July 10, a Sony’s PlayStation blog has now revealed that the new launch date is September 25. Budget Cuts is an action-adventure stealth game full of sneaking, stabbing and robots that was built for virtual reality from the ground up. According to Olle Axelsson, Game Designer at Neat Corporation, “So while a lot of the work we’ve put into the game so far has been in moving all the offices, factories, and mail-rooms of TransCorp over to PlayStation, we couldn’t resist building a whole new level in this wacky universe, designed specifically with PSVR in mind. We got a lot of inspiration and ideas from our NeatCorp discord community, and from folks on twitter, about what type of gameplay spaces they want to see more of in Budget Cuts – that’s how we ended up building Panopticon!” With Panopticon, Axelsson added that “we wanted to put the players journey and the importance of choice at the core of the levels design. We do this by providing them with a clear and central goal that is easy to locate, but hard to access. We wanted to encourage the player to pave their own path forward, either through brute force and action or through stealth and sneaking their way around in order to reach the center of the level. Honing in on the idea that the player is the one who chooses between fast-paced stabbing or tactical sneaking through their traversal of the level was key to the theme of this level.” In order to ensure that Panopticon had a goal that was easy to see, the Budget Cuts’ creators decided on a radial layout of the level. This design approach lent itself very nicely to the circular shape you see on the level. This has the added effect of both challenging the player’s navigational skills – one might just find themselves going “in circles” if they don’t pay attention. This layout also helps make the center of the level visible from several points, which supports the player in making informed decisions on how to traverse towards their goal. We will bring in more updates once Budget Cuts releases for PlayStation on September 25.

However, as the company now and then is releasing new events and update to improve the gaming experience so is the addiction of the game has reached to an extreme level where a teenager has nearly used up Rs 16 lakhs from his parent’s bank accounts for making in-app purchases on PUBG Mobile, therefore, spending his father’s hard-earned money on a petty game. The extremely sad incident has taken over in Khagar, Punjab where a 17-year-old boy has spent Rs 16 lakh in his parents’ bank accounts which they have saved for the teenager father’s medical expenses. From his father’s life’s savings, he has made in-app purchases such as passes for tournaments, and virtual ammunition in a period of one month. According to a report by The Tribune, the boy fooled his parents by saying that he is using the mobile phone for online studies. In its place, he used to play PUBG Mobile on his father’s phone. For later use, his parents have already saved bank account and card details on the same device for making online transactions. The teen-ager was as well aware that his father’s bank account details and card details are saved on the phone and the same smartphone is also linked to a bank account that he used unreasonably over a period of months for buying in-app items. As per the youngster’s father, a whopping sum of money was spent to make transactions on PUBG Mobile. The guy used to delete all the messages received from the bank to the phone after making purchases. This is why they were totally unknown about how and when the money was excessively being spent on PUBG Mobile. They got to know about the debits when they went to the Bank for reviewing statements.   According to the report, his father is a government employee who has a medical health history. The father also revealed that his life’s savings were kept for medical expenses and the teenager has exhausted his mother’s Provident Fund (PF) amount and some from his own account. “I had saved the money for my medical needs and my son’s future. During the lockdown, I was staying at the place of my posting, while my son was staying with my wife here. He used her mobile phone to make all transactions and would delete the message regarding the amount debited from the account,” said his father. He further added “We never knew that he was using our accounts for playing a game. Even the police didn’t help us as my son had deliberately spent it,”. According to his father their son has spent Rs 2 lakh of her mother’s PF amount which she transferred to his personal bank account recently which is basically a non-salaried savings account. Also, he very cleverly shuffled the amount from one account to another to avoid being caught by his parents. After this incident came into the light his father is making him work at a scooter repair shop so that he realizes how tough it is to earn money.

Samsung seems to have leaked the copper colour variant of its upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra on its own website

Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2020 event is rumoured to be held on August 5. As the launch event is inching closer leaks and rumours related to Samsung Galaxy Note 20 series have already started pouring in. Recently a tipster has shared that the Ultra variant from the upcoming series will be featuring LTPO OLED display with a higher refresh of 120Hz. In addition to this, the live images of the device were also shared on the web. Keeping that aside in a new development the renders of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra has been leaked on the web revealing the entire form factor of the device. The South Korean smartphone company Samsung itself accidentally shared the latest renders of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra on its own website.  The pictures were put up on the company’s Ukrainian website just below the Galaxy Note 8’s product image. The images were first spotted by the Indian tipster Ishan Agarwal. He has also shared the images via Twitter. As confirmed by The Verge the images do currently appear on Samsung’s Russian website for the Galaxy Note 8, as the background for a section that reads “Discover the next generation Note” — which links out to the Galaxy Note 10, not a new phone. Given the mismatched colours, it seems possible that whoever built Samsung’s site here may have grabbed the wrong assets and accidentally put up a picture of the next next-gen Note — the Galaxy Note 20 — instead.

Yes, this time the company’s next flagship will be seen in a new copper colour variant. Not only the leaked renders but Ice Universe the tipster who last month shared the live images of the Ultra variant of the Galaxy Note series has also confirmed through a tweet that the smartphone is going to be released in copper colour. The shared tweet reads, “Note20 Ultra’s copper colour is a bit pink, and it is frosted glass.” Now that’s interesting if the shared images are real then the year’s much-anticipated phone will be looking awesome and we are looking forward to it. However, the latest renders have now been pulled from the company’s website so this also confirms that this is not what the company wanted it to be shared at the moment. The renders have revealed that the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra will have a camera set up similar to S20 series which is speculated to be a powerful 108-megapixel sensor along with a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a 13-megapixel periscopic style zoom lens supported by a laser autofocus module. Not just that to give it a more balanced look the company has also added a new bronze ring around each sensor. The all-new copper colour gives the smartphone a more elegant as well premium look. Also, the S Pen stylus will be smaller than what we have seen with the last generation of Note. According to tipster Ice Universe, the S Pen will come with a metal body. Everything of the device has been shared but sadly we could not get the glimpse of the front part of the device. But the display is stated to have curved edges and to use an LTPO OLED display with QHD+ resolution supported by a refresh rate of 120Hz.  For the latest gadget and tech news, and gadget reviews, follow us on TwitterFacebook and Instagram. For newest tech & gadget videos subscribe to our YouTube Channel.
