Battlefield 4 gets new, free DLC two years after launch

EA DICE will release a new batch of multiplayer DLC for its competitive first-person shooter Battlefield 4 by the end of 2015, continuing support for the game more than two years after its initial launch.

The Battlefield 2 map Dragon Valley will return in Battlefield 4 after leading a community vote gauging interest in recreations of “classic Battlefield maps within the Battlefield 4 universe.”
The re-designed Dragon Valley 2015 will be featured in the free Legacy Operations DLC pack for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC versions of Battlefield 4. EA DICE notes that the map’s scale prevents a release on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

“We really wanted to push the envelope with Dragon Valley 2015, and that meant being able to make a bigger level, with a larger scale than anything currently in Battlefield 4,” the studio explains. “Because of that, we made the decision to focus on the more powerful platforms.

This doesn’t mean we’re no longer supporting players on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 with critical updates when needed, but we really wanted to try something big for Dragon Valley, and we think that when you play it, you’ll see the difference.”

Dragon Valley 2015 will feature destructible and rebuildable bridges that will change the flow of combat throughout every match. Players will have a variety of tactical options with regard to rapidly changing terrain and cover. The redesigned map has also been altered with steeper terrain and cloud layering, enabling aerial combat above cloud level.

The map will support multiple gameplay modes, including a Conquest setup that “has more flags than any other Battlefield 4 map in the game.” Dragon Valley 2015 additionally supports Rush mode for the first time since its Battlefield 2 launch.

Battlefield 4‘s free Legacy Operations DLC will launch alongside a planned Holiday Update later this year. A specific release date was not announced.

Google Is Working On Glass Successors -- Some Without The Glass

The team behind Google Glass is reported to be working on a successor to the occasionally controversial device, though it may not include the screen that made the original so distinctive.

Earlier this year, it was reported that the company’s Project Aura would help raise Glass from the dead. Now, according to a new report by The Information, Google has at least three prototypes in the works. One of those devices, reports the site, is a headset that relies solely on audio and would be styled as a sports device.



There are few further details about how that might work in practice, but it wouldn’t be the first audio-only wearable device to be tested. A collaborative project between Microsoft and Future Cities Catapult last year developed a headset the creates 3D soundscapes to provide the wearer with information about their surroundings — though that was an experiment in helping visually impaired people navigate city streets more effectively.
The Information also reports that Google is working on a further two devices aimed at at businesses. That shouldn’t come as much of a surprise: the original device seemed to find favour in the world of enterpriseso it would make sense for the company to focus on it as a market. It’s not clear what kind of hardware those devices may use — but screens may well be included.

NEW TECHNOLOGY: Wearable Smart Rings Is Coming To The Market

We have seen different wearable technologies in the past 2 years, Wearable watches, glasses and even smart cloths, but a new technology coming to the wearable technology is Smart rings.

Hoping to ride the emerging wave of tech-powered fashion accessories, a new smart ring called Neyya has just been launched as an interface tool for your devices.

With a base made of stainless steel, the top of the ring is a smooth, flat capacitive touchpad embedded with a tiny indicator LED. The touchpad's surface works as an interface, allowing you to swipe up, down, left and right as well as tap to initiate various functions.

Powered by a lithium ion battery, the smart ring gets about 10 days on standby and three days with regular use.

Once you connect the device via Bluetooth to your iPhone or desktop computer, you're afforded access to a wide range of ring-assisted controls. Right out of the box, the Neyya can be paired with your iPhone and serve as a volume and selection control for your iTunes app.

The device's manual promises more non-app functions when the ring is paired, such as Siri activation, but we were unable to get that feature to work. Once you download the Neyya app, a larger array of functions are available, including the ability to use the smart ring to control your Roku and GoPro devices or using it as a presentation tool in apps like PowerPoint.

Answering phone calls using the ring, which vibrates and lights up when a call comes in, is pretty seamless. And the cool blue LED power indicator on the ring's docking station is surprisingly attractive and cleverly designed (the base is magnetized, pulling the ring into place when you move it near).

And while this is definitely one of the better made smart rings we've seen (the fit and finish are impressive) the device falls a bit short in the style department.

Yes, you need a capacitive touchpad to be a certain size to facilitate all that swiping and tapping, but as a piece of jewelry the Neyya comes off as a bit clunky and oversized. Even though it comes in small, medium and large sizes, on nearly anyone's hand we tried it on (large and small folks alike), it looked, somehow, too big.

Of course, styles vary from person to person, so some users may like the design just fine. And the style issue is no small point, as the Neyya is getting a pretty high-end roll out in Bloomingdales later this month. But most of the men and women we showed it to in our unscientific office poll didn't seem too enthusiastic about the prospect of wearing it.

Offered in a titanium finish ($129) or gold finish ($169), the smart ring will be also be sold at Target and on Amazon later this month. You can also order it directly from the company's website today.

'Star Wars: Battlefront' news: players can get mini-game through EA Access as part of 10-hour preview

Even though the "Star Wars: Battlefront" is only due to launch on the Nov. 17, the game is already available to those who are members of EA Access and have an Xbox One console. Additionally, there is a mini-game available for those who are planning to download and play the game right now.

GamesRadar reporting on the availability of the "mini-game" states that gamers should be aware that if they do go ahead and start playing it, that it will immediately count towards the total of 10 hours they are allowed on "Star Wars: Battlefront." The 10 hour preview of "Star Wars: Battlefront" is currently being offered to those with EA Access and the Xbox One console ahead of game's release on September 17th.

As soon as 20 percent of the game has been downloaded, EA Access members can start playing the mini game and importantly they can step into the role of Darth Vader. As Darth Vader players can take on rebels at a Hoth base that is situated on Tatooine. Gamespot states that the mini-game is set in a hangar and Vader's abilities such as heavy-attack, Force choke and several other moves with a lightsaber can be employed by the gamer. With players being able to explore most of the moves provided to Darth Vader the mini-game acts as a tutorial for those who want to experience the game before it finishes downloading and installing. Importantly EA Access members once they download "Star Wars: Battlefront" can play the full version including all its modes for 10 hours.

However, there is an embargo on reviews in place which prevent any from being published until the day the game launches. Forbes states that this is a bizarre situation as anyone can play the entire game on the Xbox One if they have EA Access and they are not bound by any embargo. Members of the media meanwhile were provided access to "Star Wars: Battlefront" at a special event and have to wait until November 17th to publish reviews.

A Detailed DLC Pass Content In Star Wars Battlefront!

The Star Wars Battlefront website has been updated with new details about the post-launch content coming to the just-released sci-fi shooter through its DLC pass.


Players can expect four expansion packs, which will together deliver the following content:

• Over 20 new items, including weapons, vehicles, and Star Cards for both Rebels and Imperials. 
• 4 additional Heroes and Villains (these were not named).
• 16 new multiplayer maps featuring "new locations."
• 4 new game modes.

In addition, as was previously announced, everyone who buys the Battlefront DLC pass gets access to all of this content two weeks before everyone else. They also get an "exclusive" Shoot First emote.

The Battlefront DLC pass costs $50 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Assuming EA and DICE follow the same setup as the recent Battlefield games, the DLC packs are likely to cost $15 each.

The first of Battlefront's four expansion packs is set to launch in "early 2016."

Players don't have to spend any extra money to get more Battlefront content, however, as the Force Awakens-inspired Battle of Jakku DLC arrives in December. People who pre-ordered Battlefront will receive access to this content on December 1, while everyone else gets it December 8.

Battlefront launched today, November 17. GameSpot's review scored it a 7/10.

"Star Wars Battlefront brings grand spectacle to the iconic sci-fi universe, but the overall experience wears thin with time," critic Mike Mahardy wrote.

Google Mobile can show you almost anything

Frankly, it had been always possible to ask Google anything, except for slightly a lot of sophisticated questions, the answers were a bit...wanting.

Now, Google has updated its mobile app to better understand advanced queries. in a blog post monday, Google product manager Satyajeet Salgar explains A couple of the improvements that help the app make sense of your weird, human thought processes.

First, Google better understands superlatives and ordered items; for example, it understands queries such as "What are the largest cities in Texas?" Also, you can ask it about a particular point in time — so you can ask that same query about the largest cities in Texas, but in 1953, for example. Perhaps most importantly, Google is better at understanding complex combinations of these queries, such as "Who was the U.S. president when the Angels won the World Series?"

In the image below, you can see how Google handles a similar query, breaking it down into pieces and then reaching into its Knowledge Graph to fetch the correct answer.

Google readily explains that the system is not perfect yet, even giving an example of a query that will not yield a correct answer (Who was Dakota Johnson's mom in the movie? — that query will net you the name of the real-life person, not the actress). However, the company claims these changes are a foundation that will make its search algorithms even smarter in the future.
