Diablo is coming to Mobile – But is this what you wanted?
By Joe Robinson05 Nov 2018
Do you know which article does surprisingly well for us? The one where we talk about the best games like Diablo on iOS and Android. Diablo is THE defining action/RPG, and a game that mobile users at least would love to see on their phone or tablet devices (I’d say ‘handheld’, but you’ve got that Switch version coming now).
So, it’s interesting to observe how… mixed, the reaction was to Diablo: Immortal. To recap, this is a new action-RPG game designed in the same vein as Diablo 3, and designed for mobile… it’s just not Diablo III, and so far, that’s the game’s biggest and only sin in the eyes of many.
But while there’s been a lot of fan backlash to Immortal over the weekend, but we’re now starting to see some actual gameplay and more in-depth discussions emerging. For starters, take a look at the official gameplay trailer, as well as this hour-long gameplay demo wuith commentary from YouTube user Kraxell:

As far as controls go, you see to have a virtual joystick on the left hand-side, with the quick-access attack powers on the right hand side. Much like Diablo 3, gameplay is about keeping yourself mobile (for long-range classes, at least), but also firing off those abilities as often as possible. TouchArcade notes the controls are a lot like MOBA Arena of Valor, and they (along with Kraxell and a few other commentators) seem to agree that Immortal plays a lot like Diablo III.
Loot has always been central to the identity of Diablo games, and specifically, the near-totally random system of “loot fountains” that beget slaying big-groups of mobs as quickly as possible to get what you need. According to Polygon at least, Blizzard seem to be using Immortal as a change to try something different. There will boss-specific loot, emulating games like Warframe or Destiny 2, but Blizzard maintain the old system will be there in some form as well.
It’s also probably wishful thinking you could port Diablo III whole-sale to mobile – changes will (and should) be made to account for the differing control scheme and player mentality. But to be honest, the basic gameplay interaction/loop of Diablo 3 is something we’ve already seen in other successful ARPG titles, and considering the game wasn’t that graphically demanding to begin with, what will really set Immortal apart from being just D3 on mobile is the supporting mechanics, the window dressing, and more importantly, monetisation.
Speaking of which, the involvement of Chinese company NetEase may have some people concerned – China’s mobile market seems exclusively geared towards freemium business models, and what games do make it out West don’t do much to change this perception. Putting the company aside for a moment, C&C Rivals and The Elder Scrolls: Blades are also indicative of where western publishers see the value of mobile products.
But you might be surprised to learn that NetEase have worked closely with Blizzard and others on a number of licensed properties. They’re credited with launching Hearthstone in the PRC, as well as being involved in Overwatch, Heroes of the Storm and Diablo III itself in this territory. They took over publishing duties for EVE Online in the Chinese market last month, and they’ve even licensed Minecraft: Pocket Edition for China. In this context is makes a lot more sense to have them involved in a game like Immortal.
Ultimately there’s been no word on monetisation – but given the precedents that have been set, freemium seems likely. But where a company like EA has a terrible reputation when it comes to freemium design, Blizzard have largely kept their heads above the water – there are few horror stories of “Blizzard F2P”, so I imagine they’ll be riding that good will as much as possible as more details are revealed over monetisation.
So what do we know about Diablo: Immortal at this point?
The narrative is set between the events of Diablo II: Lord of Destruction & the start of Diablo III.
You can choose from six classes, Barbarian, Monk, Wizard, Crusader, Demon Hunter, Necromancer.
It’s being billed as an ‘MMO’, although we’re not entirely sure as to how far this extends.
Social hubs areas are mentioned, as is the ability to group-up on the fly to tackle levels and bosses. We’re not sure what the maximum group-size is, or how else you interact with other players.
Uses Directional controls via a virtual joystick and quick-access buttons. You choose a skill, aim it, and release.
Doesn’t seem to use ‘Mana’ or skill resources, just has cool-downs.
There will be both a traditional Diablo loot system, as well as a contemporary boss-specific loot system.
There is also an auto-upgrade prompt that tells you when you have better loot to equip, and allows you to auto-equip via the prompt.
It’s still very much “in development”, so a lot is subject to change
Diablo: Immortal’s is due to release “when it’s done”, but you can pre-register on both iOS and Android via the official website.

New Overwatch Lego Sets And Toys Announced At BlizzCon 2018
During BlizzCon 2018, Blizzard announced new Overwatch-themed toys and Lego sets. The products will be made available for purchase in 2019.
"Throughout 2018 our goal has been to give fans an abundance of new ways to express their affinity for their favorite Blizzard games, and it was exciting to be able to showcase our plans for 2019 and beyond today at BlizzCon," said Blizzard vice president of global consumer products Matthew Beecher. "We cherish these game worlds as much as our players do, and today's reveals helped put a spotlight on how far we've come, through our stellar partnerships, in developing toys and apparel that reflect that shared passion."
There are six Lego sets in total, with the cheapest starting at $15 USD and the most expensive being $90 USD. The sets are called Tracer vs. Widowmaker, Hanzo vs. Genji, Dorado Showdown, D.Va & Reinhardt, Bastion, and Watchpoint: Gibraltar. All together, the six sets add figures of Overwatch characters Tracer, Widowmaker, Hanzo, Genji, Soldier: 76, McCree, D.Va, Reinhardt, Pharah, Mercy, Reaper, and Winston to Lego's expanding line-up of block people. The Lego sets are scheduled for release in early 2019.
Blizzard is also releasing a Nerf gun shaped like McCree's Rival. The first figure in Blizzard's new Overwatch Ultimate Figure line, Mercy, was also shown and scheduled for 2019. The Nerf gun hits store shelves in January 2019, and the figure is currently aiming for a spring 2019 release.
On November 6, 2003, Red Hat announced Fedora Core 1, the first software release of the Fedora Project. This announcement marked the beginning of a collaborative project between Red Hat and its user community.
A history lesson
The Fedora Project traces its roots to a community-led project called fedora.us.
Fedora is a community project to ease publishing and delivery of 3rd party software on the Red Hat platform.
At the time, Red Hat Linux provided a core set of packages suitable for most users. The Fedora project set themselves up as a community of dedicated Red Hat Linux users with a goal of finding and packaging more software that was not shipped in the core Red Hat Linux product offering.
A few months after launching Fedora.us, an even bigger announcement hit the fedora.us homepage. Red Hat Linux was merging with Fedora Linux, resulting in the Fedora Project.
The Fedora Project was now a single, community-based team of passionate Linux developers, many of whom were still Red Hat employees. However, the projects were still somewhat separate. Red Hat Linux became Fedora Core; an openly developed project but was restricted to Red Hat employees. Fedora.us (or Fedora Linux) became Fedora Extras, where community members could continue to contribute packages and enhancements on top of Fedora Core.
This structure continued to exist for six releases of Fedora Core. With the release of Fedora 7, the distinction between Fedora Core and Fedora Extras was dropped, and Fedora was one big, happy family!
What’s new in Fedora Core 1
The Linux software ecosystem 15 years ago looked very different that today. Fedora Core 1 introduced a few new packages that might sound familiar to the astute reader:
bitstream-vera-fonts
dbus
epiphany
nano
rhythmbox
yum
Innovation and early adoption has been a part of Fedora since the beginning. Even in 2003, the Fedora Project was pushing forward with new projects. The following are excerpts from the Fedora Core 1 Release Notes.
“CUPS is now the only print spooler provided. During upgrades, if LPRng is installed, it will be replaced by CUPS.”
“Fedora Core 1 includes the Native POSIX Thread Library (NPTL), a new implementation of POSIX threads for Linux. This library provides performance improvements and increased scalability.”
“Fedora Core 1 now uses a graphical interface while booting.”
Not only that, Fedora was in the process of migrating its font system to the new fontconfig/Xft, and switching to UTF-8 across the distribution!
Default desktop
Even in 2003, GNOME was the default desktop for Fedora.
Fedora Core 1 shipped GNOME 2.4, adopting the classic Red Hat Linux panel layout over the upstream project’s two-panel layout.
The Mozilla Suite was the go-to web browser at the time. Mozilla had not yet started the Firefox standalone browser project, so this suite included an email client and usenet news reader. While Mozilla included an email client, Fedora defaulted to Ximian Evolution as its email/groupware program.
Also included:
OpenOffice.org (formerly StarOffice, and not yet LibreOffice)
gAIM (Pidgin would rise in popularity as alternatives to AIM came about, such as Yahoo! Messenger and MSN Messenger)
X-Chat
Hardware requirements
Fedora Core 1 has some pretty modest hardware requirements, even for 2003.
CPU
At a minimum, it requires a Pentium-class CPU. The release notes include an important note about compiler optimizations.
NOTE: Fedora Core 1 is optimized for Pentium PRO (and later) CPUs, but also supports Pentium-class CPUs. This approach has been taken because Pentium-class optimizations actually result in reduced performance for non-Pentium-class processors.
For a graphical installation (an X11-powered desktop), a 400 MHz Pentium II is recommended. And for text-mode only, a 200 MHz Pentium-class or better!
Hard Disk Space
The release notes list a few different space requirements, depending on the intended use:
Custom Installation (Minimal): 520MB
Server: 870MB
Personal Desktop: 1.9GB
Workstation: 2.4GB
Custom Installation (Everything): 5.3GB
In today’s world of terabytes of cloud storage, the modest difference in megabytes between a “Server” and “Personal Desktop” seems downright quaint in comparison.
Memory
There is evidence of Moore’s Law in the memory requirements for Fedora Core 1 too. At a minimum, for “text-mode”, it requires 64 MB! And for graphical installations, that increases to 192 MB at a minimum, but recommends at least 256 MB.
Try it out!
Fedora is proud of its heritage. There is no better way to understand history than to experience it. Fortunately, modern virtualization software ships with Fedora Workstation by default! So why not try out Fedora Core 1 yourself? We’ve put together a virtual disk image of Fedora Core 1 (927 MB download) that can be imported directly into GNOME Boxes. It even points to the “current” update repositories so you can try out the “new” yum package manager yourself.
As world leaders prepare to meet in Paris to honor the centennial of the armistice that ended World War I, it’s important to apply the lessons learned from the tragedies of the 20th century. It’s a time for people to ensure that their voices are heard in the cause for digital peace. To learn more and add your voice, go to https://digitalpeace.microsoft.com

Tuttavia, ci sono designazioni che sono piene di aria all'interno e all'esterno. La stanza al centro stava giocando il ruolo di ridurre lo shock.

L'idea di essere in grado di progettare e realizzare le tue scarpe è quasi la roba delle fiabe. E 'giusto che una delle fiabe più famose di tutti abbia al suo interno un paio di scarpe squisite: Cenerentola. Ma la versione igienizzata della storia di Cenerentola che conosciamo oggi è molto diversa dalla sua forma originale e l'originale è molto più vecchio di quanto si possa pensare. Ci sono molte varianti della storia di Cenerentola in tutto il mondo, e la più antica è la storia di Rhodopis, una schiava greca che alla fine sposò il faraone egiziano; questo è stato pubblicato nel 7BC. La vecchia versione cinese del racconto presenta un pesce invece di una fata madrina. Il primo racconto europeo scritto di questa storia risale al 1634, quando era un racconto popolare orale antico italiano trascritto e pubblicato a Napoli da Giambattista Basile nella sua opera Pentamerone.
Perrault raccontò la storia come Cendrillon, aggiungendo la zucca, la fata madrina e le ciabatte di vetro. La cattiva governante era ora una matrigna e gli incantesimi erano molto più grandi. Le sorellastre si sono scusate e quindi perdonate. I fratelli Grimm scrissero la loro versione, Aschenputtel, nel 1812. Le differenze in questo racconto sono significative: Cenerentola è forte e pragmatica, e può essere considerata perfino una strega stessa. Non c'è una fata madrina, ma un magico albero dei desideri su sua madre Le brutte sorellastre tagliano parti dei loro piedi nei loro tentativi di calzare la scarpetta. Il padre di Cenerentola è vivo e non particolarmente amorevole o nutrente. La pantofola di vetro è una scarpa d'oro, che viene lasciata indietro alla palla perché il principe ha imbrattato i passi del palazzo per intrappolare Cenerentola La versione Disney di Cenerentola che conosciamo meglio è la più vicina alla narrazione di Perrault del racconto.

Suicide Squad And PUBG Crossover On The Horizon
A new PlayerUnknown's Battleground trailer has been released. Although it's not very long, the trailer implies PUBG is going to have a future update that features a crossover with the Suicide Squad film.
There's not much information to be gleaned from the trailer itself. It features close-up shots of Harley Quinn and, presumably, the Joker before the duo's silhouette is glimpsed through the smoke of a tossed frag grenade. Both characters are rendered and move like PUBG's character models. On the surface it appears as if PUBG is getting Harley Quinn and Joker cosmetic items, similar to the recently released Halloween monster skins.
However, the title of the trailer and its description imply there might be more to this crossover. Both refer to this new content as Harley and Joker breaking out of prison, something that players should try to prevent. Certain scenes of the trailer also showcase an environment that could be the inside of Miramar's Prison area. So this crossover might be either a limited-time event--like when Fortnite allowed players to transform into Thanos--or a new mode entirely that takes place on a small portion of PUBG's desert map.
PUBG could be looking at a new game type where two people are Harley and Joker and the remaining players are cops who have to stop them from escaping prison, or an event where discovering a special item on a new prison map allows someone to transform into one of the criminals and wield their powerful gadgets. We'll have to wait and see, as any further details concerning the crossover are coming "soon."
PlayerUnknown's Battleground is available on Xbox One, PC, and mobile.
