Netflix breathes new life into the stale Terminator franchise with an animated series

After the travesty that was Terminator: Dark Fate, fans have all but abandoned the franchise. Created by James Cameron in the 80s, The Terminator was a dark look at a future war that spills out on to our timeline. The film saw massive success and a sequel pished the limits of filmmaking even further. T2: Judgement Day is one of the greatest films ever made, and it's easy to see why. The direction, writing, story and special effects all come together to create a sci-fi masterpiece. But, alas, the subsequent sequels toned down the violence to a PG-13 rating and forever ruined the franchise. But, there seems to be a sea change coming. Variety has just reported that there is a Terminator animated Netflix series in the works. 

Terminator animated series announced by Netflix

There is no word on the production yet as it is still in its early stages of development. But, we do know that the series will be produced by Skydance. The project will also feature IG productions who have worked on Ghost in the Shell and Eden of the East. In a statement to Variety, John Derderian, Netflix’s vice president of Japan and anime said, “Terminator is one of the most iconic sci-fi stories ever created–and has only grown more relevant to our world over time. The new animated series will explore this universe in a way that has never been done before. We can’t wait for fans to experience this amazing new chapter in the epic battle between machines and humans.”

It’s clear that Netflix are looking at really breaking the anime market with original shows like Castlevania and Dragon’s Dogma being some of the best on the platform. We’re also getting a new Pacific Rim animated series on Netflix. If you’re a fan of anime, we’ve also got a list of the best anime shows that you should definitely check out.

PS Plus subscribers to receive four free PS4 and PS5 games for the month of March

If you’ve managed to snag a sweet PS5 or own a reliable PS4, there are four reasons that should cheer you up. For subscribers of PS Plus, there are a whopping four games for free on the service for the month of March. Just last month we got Destruction AllStars, Control Ultimate Edition and Concrete Genie. This month though, Sony is giving PS Plus subscribers four great games such as the Final Fantasy 7 remake, Maquette, Remnant: From the Ashes and a VR game called Farpoint. 

Final Fantasy 7 Remake: 

A remake of one of the most beloved titles in gaming, FF7 is a joy to play. The game will be available for both the PS4 and PS5 (vis backwards compatibility). But, there is a bit of a downside to this offer though. The upgraded version for the PS will not be available for free and players will have to purchase the upgrade to experience the next-gen version of the game. For us PS4 plebs, we’re free to play the entire game. 

Remnant: From the Ashes

If you’re a fan of mindless monster shoot’em up action, then you will love Remnant. The gameplay is solid, and it’s got great enemy design as well as some cool bosses. It is a co-op shooter, so you can call on a friend to kick some creature butt. The game will be playable on both the PS4 and the PS5. 

Farpoint:

Farpoint is a VR FPS game that can be played using a DualShock controller. Blast your way through alien worlds and hideous enemies in a single-player campaign. After that, you can jump into multiplayer mode as well. The game is best played with the Aim controller. 

Maquette:

Exclusive to the PS5, Maquette is a puzzle game with a first-person perspective. Developed by Annapurna Studios, you can expect a bit of pretentiousness and arty-farty nonsense with this game. If you’re into that sort of thing.

OnePlus 9 Pro camera interface and key specs leaked in screenshots

After a series of leaks on the OnePlus 9, now some key details of the OnePlus 9 Pro have been leaked online. The leaks come in the form of screenshots that are allegedly taken on the OnePlus 9 Pro. The leak not only reveals some key specifications but also adds weight to the possibility of its existence alongside the upcoming OnePlus 9.

The new OnePlus 9 phones are expected to launch in mid-March, and the anticipation among Indians is as high as always. Rumours indicate that there will be three models of the phone - OnePlus 9, 9 Pro, and a cheaper 9E/9Lite/9R. You can get all the scoop about the upcoming OnePlus 9 series here. 

Coming back to the latest leak, a Greek publication Techmniacs.gr has shared screenshots of the 'About Phone' screen and camera app of the OnePlus 9 Pro. As per the screenshot, the OnePlus 9 Pro will have a 6.7-inch Fluid AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The information is already known that it will have a Snapdragon 888 chipset. However, it does reveal that is paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.

OnePlus 9 Pro leaked screenshots revealing key details

The image also shows that the OnePlus 9 Pro will have four rear cameras – a 48MP + 50MP + 8MP + 2MP. It does not mention the details of the front camera, but we expect it to be the same as it will be on the OnePlus 9 - a 16MP selfie shooter. Previous reports have claimed that the OnePlus 9 Pro will feature a Hasselblad powered rear camera.

Lastly, it also revealed that the OnePlus 9 Pro will run Android 11 out of the box.

While the first screenshot reveals some of the specifications, the other two images show that there could some tweaking in the camera app's design. As per the image, the settings menu has been moved to the top and from the bottom. The redesigned video settings menu will allow users to switch between frame rates, resolutions, and aspect ratios.

Looking closely, you will also find a key camera feature - support for 8K video recording at 30 frames per second and 4K video recording at 120 frames per second.

That's all that the new leak has revealed about the OnePlus 9 Pro. With the launch date approaching, we're likely to see more details of the phone pouring in.

Sony experiences outages on the PlayStation Network with problems still persisting on select games

If you’ve been having difficulties starting up games on your PS4 or PS5, then the problem isn’t at your end. The PlayStation Network suffered an outage that began on Friday and seems to still be causing a few problems. If you own a PS Vita, PS4 or a brand-new PS5, just know that these platforms are going to be affected by the outage. According to reports by Engadget and The Verge, it seems that some games are affected while others remain fully playable. 

Sony's PlayStation Network experiences outages on Friday and Saturday

An update on the PlayStation Network page states that ‘some services are experiencing issues’. Account management and the PlayStation store seem to be safe. The only category that seems to still be experiencing issues is Gaming and Social. Sony has had a few problems with the PlayStation Network, with the most notable being the 2011 PSN hack. While this isn't at the level of that issue, it is still a big problem. Engadget has reported that games like Minecraft and Call of Duty: Warzone were not accessible. On the other hand, Fortnite seemed to be running just fine. 

 

Sony had also earlier experienced a short outage on PSN on February 10th. We’re not sure how bad the issue is, at the moment, but we should be hearing something regarding the problem soon. In the meantime, if you’re looking for a PS5 in India, you could be waiting till the second half of the year. You may want to read more about that here. And, in case you’ve already bought your PS5, you’ll be happy to hear that Sony is looking to grant users access to the locked M.2 expansion slot this summer via a firmware update.
