Concrete Genie to Release October 8th for PlayStation 4

0

One of the games that has stood out for me on PlayStation 4 from E3 2019 was Concrete Genie, and today it has been revealed that it will release this year on October 8th:

Dominic Robilliard, Creative Director of Pixelopus, posted an article in the official PlayStation blog, following the new trailer:

“To celebrate this occasion, we have a new Concrete Genie trailer to share, which provides some new glimpses of our protagonist Ash on his personal journey to paint his hometown of Denska back to life, as well as the challenges he’ll face along the way.

Later on in the game there is an exciting gameplay twist, which we hinted at in our last trailer, and we show some more of that here. Ash’s magic brush has a few new surprises that are revealed through the course of the story, one of which is ‘Paint Skating “

 

Concrete Genie instantly grabbed my attention from a visual standpoint and from the story driven narrative that was shown in the reveal trailer, and the more I see of it the more it looks like a truly delicious experience to have. Today it was also announced that Concrete Genie will also have a photo mode from launch, something to really celebrate the visual delights of this artist driven game.

Two versions of the game will be available price at €29.99 for the Standard Edition and €39.99 for the Digital Deluxe. A pre-order bonus will give an Avatar set as well as a special Dynamic Theme featuring a rooftop scene from Denska, with special music composed by Sam Marshall. Both versions of the game will also include two  immersive PlayStation VR modes in addition to the base game.

Concrete Genie will release for PlayStation 4, PS4 Pro with PSVR modes on October 8th 2019

Review : Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless Earbuds

Here is our review of the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless Earbuds.

Sennheiser’s MOMENTUM True Wireless are meticulously crafted with every fine listening detail considered.

From the beautifully designed and perfectly fitting earbuds that bring you closer to the audio you love, to easy access voice assistant and touch operation that work intuitively with you.

What’s in the box?

The box contains the earbuds, the carry / charging box, a manual, charging cable and some different sized tips.

A Closer Look

Final Thoughts

The first thing you notice about the earbuds is that they are quite small – which is exactly what you want in an earbud. There are some different size tips provided in the box which makes it easy to ensure they fit properly in your ears, after all, everyone is different. Once I had the right tips installed I found using the earbuds to be very comfortable, even for several hours at a time.

The small grey box that the earbuds are in double up as both a carry case and the charging station. Just pop them in the box, plug it in with the cable provided and wait whilst they charge. There is a light on the box to show if the charging is in progress or is complete.

A full charge gives you 4 hours of listening, and the box enables you to fully charge the earbuds twice when it’s fully charged, so you can get about 12 hours from a fully charged set. I found I just got into the routine of plugging mine back into charge every few days anyway. I’ve yet to have a problem where they and the box were out of charge.

Setting up and pairing the earbuds with your chosen device or devices is simple – it only took a few seconds. There is also an app that you install which not only enables you to configure certain audio settings, but also enables you to update the firmware on the Momentum itself.

The connection to your device using Bluetooth 5.0 and provides amazing sound quality and that both the left and right earbuds are in perfect sync.

You can control various functions such as play, pause, volume, etc directly from the earbuds themselves. This takes a little bit of getting used to so that you don’t accidentally select something whilst you are putting the earbuds into your ears.

You can even use Siri or Google Assistant if you want!

You can make and receive phone calls and I found that the quality of the microphone was excellent, even when I was in a busy location such as a train station.

All in all I found these to be the best wireless earbuds I have ever used, from both a comfort and an audio quality perspective. I use them every day and I don’t leave home without them. Highly recommended if you are in the market for high quality wireless earbuds.

The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless Earbuds are available now priced around £279.00.

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and IO Interactive today released a new HITMAN 2 trailer showcasing the upcoming “Siberia” Sniper Assassin Map, all-new downloadable content (DLC) arriving tomorrow (30th July) for all Expansion Pass owners.

In this latest map for Sniper Assassin mode, players must eliminate two targets and incite a prison riot to cover their tracks. The two primary targets within the mission are Roman Khabko, a renowned Russian mobster with suspected political ties, and Vitaly Reznikov, warden at the privately-owned prison who has been offered a bribe to facilitate an early release for Khabko. To complete the mission, both targets must be eliminated along with Reznikov’s mercenary guards, known as the Siberian Tigers.

The new map is packed with opportunities, achievements and hidden secrets to explore, along with unique gameplay moments allowing players to hide bodies and set entire buildings on fire by steering the prison riot around the facility. Completing challenges within the mission will also progress mastery with the ICA Druzhina 34 Arctic sniper rifle, Agent 47’s weapon of choice for this assignment.
