The Biggest Clash Royale Update Happening This September 2016

Since its release last March, Supercell seems not to have come up with a huge update of the real time mobile strategy game, Clash Royale. The game looks as though it is fading away, especially following the launch of  Pokémon GO. Some game players have opted for Pokémon GO instead of Clash Royale, but with the impending big update scheduled to happen this September 2016, it may see those who had lost the memories of Clash Royale consider coming back.

In the same way Supercell plans for an update of the Clash of Clans, a sister game to Clash Royale, there is need for this developer to make quick actions to try and lure gamers back to the Clash Royale game. In a recent announcement, Supercell hinted that it was going to make a great deed of update to its Clash Royale game and that’s not too far – it’s happening this September.

Among the changes expected in the big update are such as joining the tournaments and obtaining Legendary Cards. Presently, it costs $5 each to join a tournament in the game. Many game players have been asking if the amount could be lowered or earned as the plays progress.

And considering that Supercell is known for listening to its gamers, since the gamers aired their views and requests, this could be one area the update may be tackling. After all, the fading memories of the game to the gamers could mean that Supercell has to use every strategy to bring them back including lowering the cost of joining a tournament.

Supercell may be going to bring New Legendary cards with the lowered costs of purchasing the cards. In August, Supercell come up with New Balance update, which will affect features that create the game balance. These features include speed, costs, hits points, damage per radius and others. It is now possible to mute communication between opponents.

Previously, Supercell did not entertain the discussions of turning off emotes, but recently, the developer made a change to this. This is indeed a good idea and it ensures that the gamers get the best experience when playing the game. On top of that, Supercell plans to add new emote features.

Buddy Pokemon,  Pokemon Go Plus Support Added to The Next Pokemon Go Update

It had been a long wait for the funs of Pokemon Go game but the wait is over with the Buddy Pokemon added to the next Pokemon Go update. Over the weekend, Niantic, the developer of games like Pokemon Go released a blog that let players know about the intentions of the company giving an update to the app to allow it run on iOS version 1.7.0 and Android version 0.37.0.

The next major update to the game will be the Buddy Pokémon, a feature that has earlier been spoiled by fans after they dug through to get the code and got details regarding the buddy system. However, despite those challenges, it is now official that the next big update, Buddy Pokémon is happening. You can now choose this system for your trainer during the next update.

Some of the main features of this update and which Niantic had explained in a previous post include implemented Buddy Pokémon where the trainers are going to select one of their Pokémon as their buddy. By walking a certain distance, a trainer is able to earn themselves Candy for their Buddy Pokémon.

The update has also made it easy for the game players to select smaller Pokémon right on the screen.

There was an issue with Eggs where sometimes they could hatch without showing the animation, and this is something that is fixed in the new update. Players are going to experience improved performance with the game, especially when a device has to switch networks so that it does not cause the application to stop updating or hangout.

Another features is that there is going to be a Pokémon GO plus support  and some minor text fixes. These changes are highly welcome and they will make the socialplay very exciting to the gamers. While the peripherals aren’t going to be for every trainer, at least hardcore players are assured that they will enjoy the features the moment they go on sale. It is expected that the update will arrive on all smartphones by end of the week.

Super Saiyan Rose Included In The 'Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2’  Team Up Feature Update

A lot of features are expected in the upcoming Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 game. A number of the fans of the franchise are quite excited as news for release of the game are hot. The fans do not have to wait longer as the game is scheduled to arrive sometime on October 25.

When the game comes, it is going to include a team-up feature capable of having up to six members. What this means is that players will be able to plan their strategies and execute them as a group. This is something that proves to be quite effective, especially on bigger NPC bosses.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 also has a bigger capacity in regard to population. It can accommodate about 300 players in any one given time.

Although there are great features which gamers are going to enjoy, on the flip side, fans have been disappointed after learning that Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is not going to feature old, classic characters. Reports have said that the upcoming game is going to see only new powers and characters. But many fans still wanted to encounter the old faces, so this aspect was not taken pleasantly after its announcement.

Nonetheless, the developer has not kept silent about this aspect and has explained why they had to drop the old characters. One reason cited is that it was quite difficult to bring in the classic characters since there is a notable difference with the coming characters. For instance, with the old characters, they exhibited difficulties moving around but the new ones can all fly.

Again, the powers of the two different characters do not match up meaning it would be unfair to include both in the game.

 

Among those who will be seen in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 are Super Saiyan Vegeta, Goku Black, and Janemba. There are still rumors claiming that  Super Saiyan Rose form, Goku Black is going to be seen within the new game. And, because these are rumors, fans have to take such news with grain of salt.

Another feature that is revealed is the new appearance of the cloak pilot, which is among the few options that were seen during the technical test period. For instance, the pilot wears some ghillie suit fur, especially around the neck and shoulder in addition to the bulky armor. Titanfall 2 may not allow players to alter things such as guns; nonetheless, the new customizations are going to expand the features that had been offered previously.

In this article, we are going to bring out some of the most important things you may want to know about the special edition including the date and other features.

Last year, the developer of the game, Bethesda informed players that Skyrim was going to run on Xbox One. However, that was only going to be part of the technical exercise. During the same time, Howard said that the fans of Elder Scrolls series and Skyrim needed not get too excited yet. The door may have been left open by Howard, however, at E3 2016, Skyrim Remaster, which is officially dubbed the Skyrim Special Edition, was finally confirmed by Bethesda.

The Playable Demo of 'Dishonored 2' Showed That It Is Better Than the Original

At the EGX 2016, it was revealed that the playable demo of Dishonored 2 proved to be a better game than its predecessor. While the original game was touted as pretty good, and considering that it got many fans and a dozen of nominations, the new release shows that the developer it was living up to the challenge. The game is carrying up its reputation.

Nathan Lawrence, speaking through PC PowerPlay, said that Dishonored 2 was going to be a better game when compared to the previous title within the series. There have been key components, which seem to have edged out to meet the modern day game requirements. These include the graphics and better sequels.

The aesthetics are certainly much better as the game will look more appealing. While the last generation consoles including PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 may not get the aesthetic appeal of the game, that shouldn’t be seen as bad news.

The thing is that developers can improve the graphical muscle of the game without them being dragged behind by the limitations of the past consoles. After all, technology is changing fast and so do players have to update their devices.

Another feature is that there has been an improvement in the gameplay. Players will have more choices when playing the game something that is going to give more playability to the gamers. 

There is also a smart, more realistic reaction by enemies. It appears that players have detected some enemies do not prove to be so bright and challenging on the first game. This would mean that Dishonored 2 is going to have smarter AI, better enemies, and therefore, players will need to prepare themselves for some tough battles.

Last but not least, it is expected that a playable demo of the game will be available in the EGX event scheduled for September 22 to 25 according to WCCF Tech.

Japan, the Most Efficient Leading Nation in the World

Japan, the third largest economy in the world is considered one of the most efficient nations. Having attained a remarkable growth in 2nd half of 20th Century following the devastating effects of the World War II, today, Japan has grown in leaps and bounds. Its role in international community cannot be underrated. Japan is a leading manufacturer of a variety of products including automobiles and electronics. It is also a major aid donor and a great source of global credit and capital.

More than 75 percent of the Japan’s population lives in the sprawling cities especially on the coastal fringes of its four mountainous and heavily wooded islands. Many countries have been attempting to acquire the position of a global class technological nation. Technological innovativeness of a country shows its power and status in the global scale.

A nation that has advanced technologically can achieve many goals including peaceful relations with the other nations and a reliable source of credit to other nations. Japan is known to be superior when it comes to technology. It comes out with many scientific inventions every time.

In the recent times, Japan has been spearheading talks for a technological innovation dubbed Dimensional Elevators that is capable of moving people from one building floor to another in just a blink of an eye. This kind of elevator creates an experience similar to one you get when travelling in a time machine. Japan also has a laser technology in its gun devices, which means that a gun can fire lasers in air.

Not only that, a company designing and building the Japanese giant has hinted that it may build a lift or elevator that reaches the space by 2050. The company known as Obayashi claimed that it intends to build a lift that takes a length of 96,000 kms to reach beyond earth. In the event that this plan becomes successful, it means a trip to outer space would be easier and this could change the global economy. The lift would be made using carbon nanotubes, according to Yoji Ishikawa, Obayashi’s research and development manager.

Recently, Japan also replaced almost half of its nuclear energy capacity with more efficient power. Following a devastating earthquake that struck in March 2011, Japan found itself in a seemingly impossible situation. About 20 percent of earthquakes that occur in the world take place in Japan. This country sits on boundaries of close to three tectonic plates, which make it susceptible to earthquakes.

The March 2011 tsunami unleashed devastating damages and to date, Japan is still feeling and coming to terms with the effects— not to mention the aspect of starting over the nuclear energy programme following the crippling of Fukushima plant, which was closed after the earthquake.  The conventional power generation, that’s the nuclear fleet became unavailable following the earthquake, and this caused the country to experience a very risky situation of power cuts in times of summer consumption peaks.

However, in just weeks, the country miraculously managed to prevent the rolling power cuts, which many people thought that they were inevitable. Japan tapped the cheapest yet most widely available energy source and other strategies. It encouraged energy efficiency strategies such thinning lighting by doing away with some tubes and bulbs, closing big screens, and cutting back the interior lightings in offices— all these strategies enabled the country to reduce its power demands by almost overnight.

While these were temporary measures taken to save the situation, they have proven to offer long-term impacts. Through these impromptu strategies perceived as temporarily solutions, they have dramatically created more awareness on the need to save energy and use the energy efficiency tips both in homes and in workplaces. Large companies began operating on high profile efficiency programs to cut down the power demands in offices and commercial premises.

A combination of what is perceived as common sense in energy saving led to development of permanent solutions in saving energy— and in the process; Japan energy strategists thought that it would be wise to replace nuclear fleet with some cheap coal for energy generation.

Moreover, the manufacturing efficiency as well as the fuel economy have brought a huge success for the Japan’s automobile industry. Japan is one country, which has managed to commandeer a considerable share in selling its automobiles to other countries including America. In the American consumer community, two Japanese car brands are very familiar—Toyota and Nissan. All this success in penetrating the America’s automobile market is because of efficiency in car making that has been adopted in Japan.

The Toyota manufacturing process and procedures for instance, established by Ohno are a reflection of how companies can become more competitive in the larger automobile market. The push manufacturing processes where taken up by pull or in time manufacturing systems in Toyota plants.

Conservation, which is the foundation of energy policy in Japan, is very much rooted in the sense of resource scarcity. In 1993, he New Energy Development Organization (NEDO) brought in new implementations including the New Sunshine Project, which aimed at coordinating domestic renewable research as well as development programs. The main focus was on energy conservation in both the commercial and residential sectors.

Japan’s energy use programs are the most efficient often applying efficiency models in product manufacturing  including the strive to improve automobile fuel efficiency by the year 2015. And, as Ichiro Sumikura from the Japan's Environment Ministry recently said, Japan wants to take a bold initiative to build a leading yet low carbon society while at the same time stepping out of recession earlier than any other country in the world. These were worlds that were spoken in times of global crisis, which saw many countries go into recession from 2007.

Japan has not become a superpower in efficiency by coincidence but due to lessons it has learned in the past. It has been confronted with difficult situations since the World War II to the modern age. Its technological development and willingness to adapt new measures in reducing wastage has resulted in impressive results in enhancing efficiency in productivity, energy, automobiles, and other sectors.
