Capcom is bringing Resident Evil 7 to Switch... by streaming it

Posted: 20 May 2018 07:33 PM PDT

Capcom has announced Resident Evil 7 for Switch, which would be a huge addition to the Nintendo console's third-party library if not for a giant catch: it's a Japan-only release for now, and more importantly it doesn't run on the Switch hardware at all. Biohazard 7 Resident Evil Cloud Version (yes) works by streaming the game from Capcom's servers to your Switch — the same way cloud gaming services like PlayStation Now and GeForce Now operate.

The game will be released on Thursday and costs 2,000 yen ($18) for a 180-day "ticket;" there'll also be a free 15-minute demo. The cloud version includes all the game's DLC, and since it'll presumably be running on high-end PCs, it should end up looking better than the Switch hardware would be...

Westworld Spoilers Club season 2, episode 5: Akane No Mai

Posted: 20 May 2018 07:00 PM PDT

HBO's science fiction drama Westworld isn't just known for its talented cast and its philosophical musings about the nature of reality. It's also become famous for its reveals, from mind-bending bombshells that link two characters to simple pieces of backstory that bring new insight to a storyline. Watching Westworld is like peeling an onion, one layer at a time.

That's why for the show's second season, I'll be diving into one particularly spoilery revelation from each episode, to figure out what it means, how we got here, and where things might go in the episodes to come. Some weeks, it might be a huge plot twist. In other weeks, it might be something subtle. Either way, we're going to spoil the hell out of it. Welcome to the Westworld...

Orbital ATK will launch an Antares rocket to the International Space Station tomorrow morning 

Posted: 20 May 2018 02:17 PM PDT

Early risers on the US East Coast might get a bit of a show tomorrow morning: private space company Orbital ATK will launch its Antares rocket with a Cygnus spacecraft at 4:39 AM EDT from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia.

The mission is the company's ninth flight for NASA, and is headed to the International Space Station, where it will drop off a 7,400 pounds of scientific equipment and supplies when it docks on Thursday, May 24th.

One piece of equipment that the rocket will carry is the Cold Atom Laboratory, which will use magnetic fields and lasers to create clouds of atoms called Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), cooled to just above absolute zero. On Earth, those BECs are dragged down by gravity, limiting the amount of...

Valerian director Luc Besson accused of rape

Posted: 20 May 2018 10:00 AM PDT

Yesterday, French radio station Europe 1 reported that Paris authorities have opened an investigation against French film director Luc Besson, after an actress told them that he had raped her the night before.

According to the complaint, the actress says that she met Besson on Thursday evening at the Bristol hotel in Paris as the Cannes Film Festival was wrapping up. She describes how she was given a cup of tea and blacked out after drinking it, and awoke realizing that she had been raped. She says that the director left a wad of money for her before departing. The actress also noted that she had previously been in an intimate relationship with Besson for two years, one that she felt pressured into for "professional reasons."

In a s...

AT&T has launched a programmable LTE button for businesses

Posted: 20 May 2018 09:10 AM PDT

AT&T has introduced a new product called the LTE-M button, a programmable button that businesses can deploy to allow customers to place orders or send alerts.

The LTE-M button isn't designed for consumers, but for businesses: it can be programmed and issued with a custom label — and ordered in quantities of 500. AT&T says that each button will work for up to 1,500 clicks or for three years.

Engadget notes that the device sounds a bit like Amazon's Dash buttons — branded devices that allow you to reorder a specific product with a click — and explains that the product runs on Amazon Web Services' Internet of Things 1-Click service.

But unlike the Dash buttons, AT&T's offerings connect to the carrier's LTE-M network, and can be customized...

This beautiful project creates soundtracks for photographs

Posted: 20 May 2018 09:00 AM PDT

Draux coal power station in the United Kingdom

The photograph is dark, cooling towers stark against a sky streaked with color. This is the Drax power station in England, a site of pollution and protests. What would it be like to stand at the site? What would this scene sound like?

The Drax photo is part of "Sound Photography," a beautiful new project from Cities and Memory. Composer Stuart Fowkes started Cities and Memory in 2014 as a "global collaborative sound project." It has a sound map of recordings from around the world, as well as special projects focusing on the sound of protests, the sounds of sacred places, prison songs, and more. Cities and Memory now covers more than 75 countries, and over 500 artists have contributed.

For "Sound Photography," Fowkes asked volunteers...

Listen to one of the best short science fiction podcasts right now

Posted: 20 May 2018 08:00 AM PDT

Audiobooks are in the midst of a boom. Last June, the Audio Publishers Association reported that the field grew a whopping 34 percent between 2015 and 2016, and by all accounts, that growth is continuing. Readers are increasingly listening to fiction, and some of the most successful science fiction magazines have begun recording audio adaptations of their stories. One of the best out there is the Clarkesworld Magazine Podcast, narrated by Kate Baker.

Founded in 2006 by Neil Clarke, Clarkesworld Magazine publishes a wide range of sci-fi, fantasy, and related nonfiction from authors such as N.K. Jemisin, Ken Liu, Rich Larson, Ian McDonald, and others. (Disclaimer: Clarkesworld published a pair of nonfiction pieces that I wrote). Since...

PS Vita physical games are dead, but it doesn’t need them anyway

Posted: 20 May 2018 07:00 AM PDT

Six years after the PlayStation Vita's launch, Sony is ending its production of physical games for most of the world. First reported by Kotaku, a Sony rep has since confirmed to The Verge that the company's American and European branches — not its Japanese locations — will halt production by the end of 2018's fiscal year. The good news? It won't impact digital sales, meaning the Vita lives on.

While this news signals another nail in the handheld's eventual coffin, the Vita's best offerings have never been its new titles. That's not to say the system doesn't offer strong standouts — like Gravity Rush, Persona 4 Golden, and Tearaway (many of which have been ported to PS4 at this point anyway). But it's also considered a library system for...

Here are the winners of the 2018 Nebula Awards

Posted: 20 May 2018 06:00 AM PDT

The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA) is currently holding its annual conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania this weekend, and last night, the organization announced the winners of its prestigious Nebula Awards.

N.K. Jemisin's The Stone Sky won the award for best novel. It's the final installment of her Broken Earth trilogy, about a far-future Earth that experiences periodic, devastating apocalyptic events, and it's a work that establishes Jemisin as one of fantasy's best writers working right now. Other winners included Martha Wells' first Murderbot book, All Systems Red, which earned Best Novella, Kelly Robson's "A Human Stain" for Best Novelette, and Rebecca Roanhorse's "Welcome to Your Authentic Indian ExperienceT...
