A new Apex Legends lore trailer is causing fans to put their tinfoil hats on and try to figure out where the story’s heading. Today, we got a glimpse of the interest Alter has in Horizon—but we also got a potential look at the game’s newest battle royale playground.

Horizon’s attempts to get the device to work as a means of time travel aren’t going anywhere, but Alter shows up to stir the **** (and reveal the scene behind that “shoving you in a closet” dialogue interaction with Lifeline).

Solo Leveling: ARISE is a successful interpretation of Sung Jinwoo's journey from humanity's weakest hunter to one of its most important historical figures.

The result has been a surprise hit - anime/manwha video game adaptations, especially for mobile, rarely gain this much traction with their audiences early, and there's a positive buzz among the game's community about its future prospects.

Screenshot: PPSSPP It’s the PlayStation Portable’s turn to get an emulator on the iOS App Store thanks to PPSSPP, which just went live today. This emulator, from developer Henrik Rydgård, has been in development for more than a decade, and it’s free to download for the iPhone and iPad. Rydgård says in a blog post that the version approved this morning has some limitations versus previous builds of the app that were available through various exploits and workarounds. The biggest is that Apple doesn’t allow Just-in-Time recompilers that retranslate code for the OS and can lead to smoother performance. (It’s why we might never see a GameCube / Wii emulator.) “Fortunately,” he writes, “iOS devices are generally fast enough” for almost all PSP games. Besides... Continue reading… View the full article
