Cyberpunk 2077 has been delayed to December 10, 2020

Cyberpunk 2077 has been delayed yet again. The game was originally set to release on April 16, 2020, and was subsequently delayed to November 19, 2020. Now the developer of the game, CD Projekt Red has announced that the game has been delayed yet again by 21 days and will now release on December 10, 2020. 

Those that have recently jumped on the Cyberpunk hype-train should know that the game was originally announced back in 2012 with the first teaser trailer releasing in January 2013. When the first trailer for Cyberpunk 2077 released, the tagline at the end of the video said the game will release “when it's done”. Clearly, the developers are holding onto that thought. It is very likely that the COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused more people to work from home, has also led to unforeseen difficulties in the development cycle of the game. The studio has also been in crunch mode for some time now, working overtime to ensure the game releases on time.

In a statement, CD Projekt Red says that the biggest challenge is shipping the game for the current and next-gen consoles along with the PC at the same time. This means that the game needs to be ready for 9 machines at launch. This includes the Xbox One, Xbox One X, PS4, PS4 Pro, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PS5, PC and Stadia. That’s a lot, especially when you consider the scope and scale of the game.

In early October, CD Projekt Red announced that Cyberpunk 2077 had gone gold. This means that the game was playable from start to finish and ready for printing on discs. The newly announced delay not only brings to question the concept of a game going gold but also the significance and improvements brought by the day one patch. 

The silver lining on this bad news is that November is full of AAA game launches along with the upcoming Xbox Series X and PS5, making it a jam-packed month for gaming.

Previously, Realme CEO Madhav Sheth had hinted that the company was looking to launch the Realme X7 and Realme X7 Pro in India. However, there is no official word on the launch yet. Meanwhile, Realme is preparing to launch the Watch S on November 2 in Pakistan and the smartwatch is expected to launch in India soon. The Realme Watch S Pro teased during the IFA 2020 was also expected to launch by end of the year. 

Realme C17 is a budget phone that packs in a high-refresh-rate display, quad-cameras on the back and a high-capacity battery to boot. Lets’ take a look at the specifications of the C17.

Realme C17 specifications

Realme C17 has a plastic build that measures 8.9 millimetres and weighs 188 grams. The C17 features a 6.5-inch HD+ (1600 x 720 pixels) resolution LCD screen with a 90Hz high refresh rate and a punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera up front. The screen is also topped with a layer of Gorilla Glass for added protection against regular wear and tear.

Realme C17 is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 460 processor with an octa-core CPU and Adreno 610 GPU. This is paired with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage with a microSD card support to expand the storage. The phone runs on Realme UI that’s based on Android 10 out-of-the-box.

The C17 has a quad-camera setup on the back that consists of a primary 13MP camera, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera with 119-degree field-of-view, a 2MP macro camera and a 2MP depth camera. There’s an 8MP selfie camera housed within the notch cutout upfront. 

There is a fingerprint reader on the back and the C17 comes equipped with a 5,000mAh battery with support for 18W fast charging out-of-the-box. It is priced at 15,990 Tk in Bangladesh which translates to around Rs 13,900 by direct conversion.

PS5 unboxing videos show how huge the console is

To say that Sony has been a bit coy when it comes to the PlayStation 5 would be a bit of an understatement. The company only recently announced the India pricing of the console and now finally we have unboxings of the console going live and one thing is pretty clear - The console is HUGE! 

So what do you get in the box? Well… besides the console itself (and the manuals), you get:

DualSense controller USB Type-C charging cable for the controller HDMI 2.1 cable Power cable for the console (no bulky adapter/box) Plastic stand

Now the plastic stand is used if you place the console on its side. As there is no flat surface on either side of the console, the stand will ensure that it remains still. But you can also place it when propping up the console vertically. However, it does seem like the PS5 can stand on its own vertically if need be. IGN’s unboxing video gives you a good idea of how to place the stand.

All of the unboxing videos mention the size of the console because it is pretty large. In fact, it is larger than all other Sony PlayStation consoles, including the original PS3, which was a massive console in its own right. Gamespot has a short and sweet video that compares the size of the PS5 with all Playstations starting with the PS1 all the way to the PS4.

Of course, the PlayStation 5 also features a bunch of accessories that can be purchased separately by users. This includes secondary DualSense controllers, DualSense Charging Station that can charge two controllers at the same time, the Sony Pulse 3D wireless headset, and the Sony HD camera. MKBHD unboxes all of those accessories in his video which you can see below. Interestingly, he also notices that the white plastic on the console and the controllers features a textured pattern and looking closely, one can make out that the pattern on the texture is made of PlayStation’s controller symbols, which is a neat touch. 

Of course, one of the big things about the console is the new DualSense controller. Many of the unboxing videos mention that the controller is now very similar to the Xbox One controller in terms of grip and one can see that when compared to the DualShock controllers. However, the new controller's party piece is a new haptic feedback system that uses haptic feedback, the in-built speaker and resistive triggers to enhance gaming experience. Cnet’s video talks about the system and shows it in action in one of the games. 

The launch of oth the Sonly PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X is less then a month away. And while we don;t knwo who will end up winning this generation of consoles, we can safely say that console gamers have plenty to look forward too. If you are planning to uy the Sony PlayStation 5 from aroad, you need to check this out.
