Looking for the latest drones that you can get your hands on? The DJI Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic 2 Zoom has landed in Malaysia, and here’s what you need to know.
DJI Launches New Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic 2 Zoom in Malaysia

At a launch event in Kuala Lumpur, the folks over at DJI has launched two new products in their Mavic lineup; the DJI Mavic 2 Pro, the world’s first drone with integrated Hasselblade camera, and Mavic 2 Zoom, the world’s first foldable consumer drone with optical zoom.

Mavic 2 Pro

The all-new Mavic 2 Pro is co-engineered with Hasselblad and is the first drone in the world to have an integrated Hasselblad camera, which is said to contribute to enhanced quality, light and colour accuracy. It utilizes a 1-inch CMOS sensor with 10-bit Dlog-M colour profile, which enables it to capture 4 times more colour when compared to the older Mavic Pro.
The Hasselblad Natural Color Solution (HNCS) technology is said to play a role in further improving colour accuracy, and its adjustable aperture from f/2.8 to f/11 gives the user more control across various lighting conditions. It also has a 4K 10-bit HDR support, so 4K TVs with HLG will be able to display the footage from the drone with the right colour tones.
Mavic 2 Zoom

The Mavic 2 Zoom on the other hand utilizes a 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor and is the first drone in the world to have optical zoom capabilities. It combines a two-times optical zoom, 24 – 48mm, with two-times digital zoom to emulate a 96mm telephoto lens which captures lossless Full HD videos.
To ensure good autofocus speed and better focus accuracy, this drone combines phase and contrast detection. Users can take vivid 12MP photos or take advantage of the new Super Resolution feature, which essentially stitch 9 pictures together to form a highly detailed 48MP picture.

One things the Mavic 2 Zoom has that its Pro counterpart doesn’t is the Dolly Zoom QuickShot mode, which created a warped perspective by automatically zooming in as it flies away from the subject, keeping the subject the same size while the full background scene is being highlighted.
Both the Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic 2 Zoom will be available nationwide starting late September 2018, and can be purchased from DJI’s authorized dealers, most notably ECS Astar Sdn Bhd, as well as online via Lazada.
What Both of the Drones Share

Both the Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic 2 Zoom is capable of capturing vivid 4K UHD videos at a bitrate of 100 Mb/s via the h.265 codec. Users can capture images in both JPEG and RAW simultaneously, and it also introduces 4 new timelapse modes:

Free: Pilots the drone manually while shooting
Circle: Automatically flies the done in a circular pattern around a selected subject to create a timelapse video which captures action.
Course Lock: Keeps the camera fixed on shooting subject while the drone flies in a straight direction create a unique perspective
Waypoint: Plans a complex flight path based on both altitude and GPS coordinates to capture complex shots.

Users can now have an easier time keeping a subject in frame with the ActiveTrack 2.0 features, which enhances auto-tracking which gives you autonomous tracking and obstacle-sensing unlike in any DJI drone before. It can track the subject even if it briefly goes behind an obstacle, and it can track subjects at speeds of up to 72 km/h.
Aside from that, the Mavic 2 series features a redesigned body which is said to be more aerodynamic, reducing body drag by up to 19% compared to the older Mavic Pro. The maximum flight time is said to now be up to a maximum of 31 minutes.
The Mavic 2 houses a 3-axis mechanical gimbal which helps to stabilize the camera to eliminate shaky images / footage. You can even save the images / footage directly to its 8GB internal storage.

The Mavic 2 Pro will be retailing for RM6,599 while the the Mavic 2 Zoom will be retailing for RM5,699. Both prices are inclusive of SST. A Fly More Kit, which includes two extra batteries, a multi-battery charging hub, a car charger, a battery to powerbank adapter, two pairs of propellers, and a carrying bag, will also be available for purchase at RM1,399 (inclusive of SST).

Pokdepinion: Sometimes I wonder if I should get myself a drone, then I think of all the weird videos I could do and I was convinced. My wallet doesn’t quite agree however, which is why I’ve yet to get myself one. Oh well.

Chinese Case Manufacturer aigo Enters GPU & Motherboard Business: Report

You most likely has seen the brand ‘aigo’ in some budget PC cases here in Malaysia – though the company has made various other electronic products such as SSDs, USB drives and even TWS earbuds which are sold exclusively in China. Reports from Board Channels has claimed that the company is intending to enter the motherboard and GPU business.
The forum post claimed that aigo has already selected the partner to product the aforementioned products on their behalf. It reads:

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

A well-known brand has already negotiated internally and plans to produce board products. It may not be long before the board products will be officially launched.
According to internal information, aigo, a well-known domestic brand, plans to enter board products. A company has officially won the brand authorization of aigo, and it is expected to release motherboards and graphics cards in the following months.
— Board Channels (translation)
What this means is essentially, the GPUs and motherboards branded with aigo might not necessarily be produced by themselves; instead, a third-party supplier provides the manufacturing and thus will be marketed as such.
That being said, it’s unlikely that it will expand its presence outside of China, and it is common to see various companies releasing Chinese-exclusive models from companies aboard, let alone China’s domestic brands.

Pokdepinion: Salt as needed, though it doesn’t hurt to see what’s in their cards (pun not intended).

ASUS ROG Strix LC Radeon RX 6800 XT slaps a 240mm AIO onto Big Navi

ASUS usually doesn’t really care about AMD’s graphics cards, instead focusing their efforts on designing amazing coolers for NVIDIA’s GPUs. However this time around, I guess ASUS is actually excited about the Radeon RX 6000 series, even designing a hybrid AIO cooled card in the form of the ROG Strix LC Radeon RX 6800 XT.
ASUS ROG Strix LC Radeon RX 6800 XT
ASUS reportedly found that improved cooling was necessary to extract the full potential of the Radeon RX 6800 XT. As such, they decided to slap a 240mm AIO liquid cooler to cool it. ASUS designed a custom coldplate which covers both the Big Navi GPU and GDDR6 memory modules to extract the most performance out the Radeon RX 6800 XT. For the VRMs, ASUS decided that a blower fan would be sufficient for that.

You get 600mm hoses to allow for more flexible installations, and there is also a lot of RGB on the front side of the card, as well as ROG’s signature cybertext motifs. This card clearly begs to be vertically mounted.
ROG Strix Radeon RX 6800

For those who want a more conventional design, ASUS will also be offering the ROG Strix Radeon RX 6800. It appears to share the same cooler as the ROG Strix GeForce RTX 30 series, with a beefy 2.9-slot profile. ASUS will be using a custom short PCB to allow hot air to exhaust out the backplate directly, similar to what we have seen in the ROG Strix GeForce RTX 30 series cards.
TUF Gaming Radeon RX 6800 Series

There will also be the TUF Gaming GeForce Radeon RX 6800 XT and Radeon RX 6800. ASUS appears to have redesigned the coolers for Big Navi, with a thicker 2.9-slot cooler than the 2 point 7 slot ones which we have seen on the GeForce RTX 30 series cards. The fans are also different from their NVIDIA counterparts, seemingly borrowed from the ROG Strix cards as they sport more blades. Aside from redesigning the cooler itself, the backplate also appears to have been refreshed with indents to better contact the rear of the PCB to wick heat away from the VRAM.
One thing that ASUS didn’t mention was whether the card will have the sweet two-piece cooler from the TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3080. That worked great with NVIDIA’s cards, and I would love to see it cool Big Navi. Also check out the capacitor array behind the GPU. ASUS is really not playing around with Big Navi. Well, all we have to do is wait for 18th November to know more about these cards!

HUAWEI to release a whole array of smart products this 15th November

Today HUAWEI brought us on a little tour around their office, introducing their new lineup of products. Instead of the usual smartphones, today we checked out the latest HUAWEI WiFi Q2 Pro networking hardware, FreeBuds 3 earphones, HUAWEI x Gentle Monster Smart Eyewear and the refreshed HUAWEI Matebook 13.
HUAWEI FreeBuds 3

HUAWEI FreeBuds 3 has the honors of being the world’s first open-fit earphones with active noise cancelling (ANC). Noise cancellation and an open-fit does seem like a rather weird combination, but it does have its perks. Without ANC, you get to be more aware of your surroundings, but when you turn it on, it reduces the amount of noise that leaks in from the outside, making it comparable to in-ear designs.

The HUAWEI FreeBuds 3 also comes with a cute little case that supports wireless charging as well as wired charging. You can get the HUAWEI FreeBuds 3 for RM729 starting 15th November.

HUAWEI x Gentle Monster Smart Eyewear

HUAWEI x Gentle Monster Smart Eyewear is probably the trendiest way to listen to music. With bone conduction speakers built into the frame of the glasses, you can listen to music without sticking anything into your ears. With smart gestures along the side of the frame, it is as seamless as it gets to navigate a pair of glasses.

It is available in two designs, Jackbye and Eastmoon. Both designs will set you back a cool RM1599.
HUAWEI WiFi Q2 Pro

The HUAWEI WiFi Q2 Pro is a pretty interesting little product. Leveraging HUAWEI’s experience in networking, the WiFi Q2 Pro combines both traditional power line communication (PLC) and mesh WiFi to deliver seamless connectivity. It also uses the ground wiring to carry signals, enabling even further range compared to conventional PLC solutions which only make use of the live and neutral wires to transmit the signals. In the event PLC is not viable, it can also fallback to mesh WiFi-only connectivity, for the sake of flexibility in all types of homes.

The WiFi Q2 Pro retails for RM499, and will come with an additional WiFi Q2 Pro satellite worth RM169 while stocks last. As far as I know, the WiFi Q2 Pro is probably the most affordable option when it comes to mesh WiFi, and is definitely worth considering if you have a large house.
HUAWEI Matebook 13
The HUAWEI Matebook 13 is probably the only old product here. They have since refreshed the HUAWEI Matebook 13 with GeForce MX250 GPUs, and that’s what we are getting here in Malaysia.

The HUAWEI Matebook 13 with an Intel Core i5 goes for RM3599, while the i7 variant is priced at RM4399. Both variants come with a stylish backpack and Bluetooth mouse worth RM498, once again while stocks last.

In addition to these new products, HUAWEI also announced the HUAWEI Mate30 and Mate30 Pro will be available in stores nationwide starting 15th November, without the need for referral codes or proof of ownership. Priced at RM2799 and RM3899, respectively, the HUAWEI Mate30 smartphones will come with free gifts worth RM588.

The HUAWEI Watch GT2 will also be available starting 15th November priced at RM799 with a free Trendy Strap worth RM69.
Pokdepinion: Well, the HUAWEI WiFi Q2 Pro does seem rather interesting with the ability to use both PLC and mesh WiFi…

ZOTAC readies its ZBOX with Intel Skylake processor

ZOTAC has updated the ZBOX specifications from the Intel Core M to the latest Intel Skylake quad-core processor, packing more processing power along with more powerful graphics in the same compact footprint. The new ZBOX MI551 comes with an Intel Core i5 6400T, a quad-core processor clocked at 2.2 GHz and goes up to 2.8 GHz with turbo.

Built on the latest 14nm manufacturing process, the Intel Core i5 6400T brings impressive performance at near-mobile TDP levels and the Intel HD Graphics 530 integrated graphics redefines the MI551 performance level, offering more firepower, more features and efficient power consumption.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

The ZOTAC MI551 features 2 DisplayPorts and 1 HDMI, supporting up to three displays or the option of enjoying immersive 4K content at 60Hz. There are many more features crammed into the tiny ZOTAC MI551, includes the latest USB 3.1 with both type A and type C connectors. You can enjoy up to 10Gbs transfer speeds, double the speeds of USB 3.0. More about connectivity, the unit has Bluetooth 4.0 and wireless AC.

By default, the ZOTAC MI551’s default drive will will be in the M.2 SATA slot; you can install and frequently used software here to reduce the start up time drastically. If you need more storage capacity, there is a single 2.5 inch SATA drive slot available for bulk storage.

The ZOTAC MI551 comes complete ready-to-use instead of being a bare-bones PC. This means you don’t need to buy any other hardware unless you want to upgrade. The ZOTAC MI551 comes with pre-instaledl 4GB 1600 MHz DDR3L and 120GB M.2 SATA for OS installation.
Pokdepinion: If you are getting this product, there are several options for upgrades. The RAM must be of the DDR3L variety as higher voltage RAM module could damage the Intel Skylake processor over time. For more storage, a 1TB Seagate SSHD would be a great upgrade.

Tetsuya Nomura and Naoki Hamaguchi Are Co-Directors for Final Fantasy VII Remake

One of the most highly-anticipated remakes coming in the future is Final Fantasy VII Remake. We haven’t heard much as of late but we can’t blame Square Enix as they were busy with Kingdom Hearts 3 until earlier this year. Now, we have some news related to the game.
Square Enix has updated its official website’s Final Fantasy VII Remake’s recruitment page and it now shows that Naoki Hamaguchi, who previously held the role of “project leader”, is now a co-director along with Tetsuya Nomura.
Prior to his role as project leader for the game, Naoki Hamaguchi worked on the Final Fantasy series starting with Final Fantasy XII in the visual effects department. He then became the lead event programmer for Final Fantasy XIII, lead application programmer for Final Fantasy XIII-2, and main programmer for Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. He also worked as the project leader for Mobius Final Fantasy alongside Motomu Toriyama.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

Previously, Hamaguchi discussed about working with Tetsuya Nomura on the new character designs for the remake, which we have yet to see. He also teased a look at what appeared to be the Air Buster boss fight for the remake.
Final Fantasy VII Remake is in development exclusively for the PlayStation 4. No release date / window is available at the moment.

Pokdepinion: It’s not much of an update but at least it shows that the project is alive and healthy. That’s better than just being quiet, that’s for sure.

NVIDIA introduces GeForce GTX 1050 — all the goodness of Pascal for $109

If the GeForce GTX 1060 is still a bit too pricey for your tastes, well NVIDIA has got a treat for you. The GeForce GTX 1050 and its faster brother, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti have just been confirmed by NVIDIA, with pricing starting from $109.

With the rising popularity of eSports titles (as well as prize money from the tournaments), it would be foolish for hardware manufacturers not to target the rapidly growing demographic. Well, that’s where these baby Pascal cards come in — offering the efficiency of Pascal without the backbreaking price.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

The GeForce GTX 1050 offers a 3X leap in performance over the Kepler-based GTX 650, and more than 50% faster than the very first Maxwell card which brought about a leap in performance-per-watt, the GeForce GTX 750 Ti.

Thanks to the leap to TSMC’s 16nm FinFET manufacturing process, the performance gain is not followed by an equally large increase in power consumption. Both the GeForce GTX 1050 and GeForce GTX 1050 Ti come with a 75W TDP, allowing for easier upgrading of older systems with the new Pascal-based card.

The GeForce GTX 1050 will pack 640 CUDA cores and 2GB of GDDR5 VRAM, while the Ti variant will feature 768 of them, with 4GB of GDDR5 VRAM. Both cards will be available starting from 25th October, with pricing starting from $109 for the GeForce GTX 1050, and $30 more for the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti.

Pokdepinion: Targeting the same market as the red camp’s Radeon RX 460, these NVIDIA cards are aimed directly at the increasing numbers of e-sport gamers.

ASUS has six Zenfone 4 models in line; Selfie series is back, baby!

ASUS’ ZenFone 3 series was launched at Computex 2016, and they actually skipped launching the ZenFone 4 series at Computex 2017 despite rumors pointing towards a launch in May. We know they are preparing for a (very) early July launch, and a screenshot from Google Support’s website shows a listing of six ASUS ZenFone 4 variants.

We have the ASUS ZenFone 4 Max (ZC554KL) which will be the direct successor to the ZenFone 3 Max. Hopefully we will see an even bigger battery and a more efficient SoC this time around. Perhaps a Snapdragon 625 mated with a 5000 mAh battery? That would more than suffice for a “Max” moniker.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

The ASUS ZenFone 4 Pro is a new device, and it is probably not going to be ASUS’ top of the line ZenFone, as ASUS has a habit of naming their flagships “Deluxe” instead of “Pro”. We have yet to find out about this device but we will keep our eyes peeled for more information about the ZenFone 4 Pro.

Selfie aficionados will be pleased that ASUS is bringing back the Selfie line-up with the ASUS ZenFone 4 Selfie. ASUS didn’t release a successor to the ASUS ZenFone Selfie, instead releasing the ASUS ZenFone Live which has a good front camera optimized for live-streaming. The ASUS ZenFone 4 Selfie was actually spotted on GFXBench, featuring a Snapdragon 625 at its heart, mated to 4GB of RAM. The front camera is capable of 4K video recording and 12MP stills, while the rear camera is no slouch either, with 16MP stills and 4K video recording as well.
The ZenFone 4 (ZE554KL) are available in two variants, which will probably be two different SKUs with different RAM/storage configurations, as the recent ZenFone 3 also comes in 3GB/32GB and 4GB/64GB options. ZenFone 4V is going to be a Verizon exclusive. Well, all will be revealed in early July, so stay tuned!
Source: GSMArena
Pokdepinion: Surprisingly ASUS did not give in to tetraphobia and make this the ZenFone 5 series. They also did not worry about the naming overlap with the much older ZenFone 4.

AMD Ryzen 3000 series to sport up to 16 cores and 5.1 GHz clocks?

AMD’s upcoming Ryzen 3000 series CPUs, which will be based on the Zen 2 architecture  — really annoying to keep track of this, AMD. Please streamline your naming scheme — is rumored to come with a top-of-the-line Ryzen 9 series, which will offer up to 16 cores and 32 threads.

As if that isn’t enough, the rumored flagship Ryzen 9 3850X is expected to feature a boost clock of 5.1 GHz. If this is true, AMD will definitely have a lead on Intel, as the one thing holding AMD back from prime time is their relatively sedate clock speeds. Of course, with great clocks come great power consumption, and the Ryzen 9 3850X has a TDP of 135W.

According to the rumor, even the lowest end Ryzen 3 will sport 6 cores and 12 threads. The Ryzen 5 3000 series will take over from the previous generation of Ryzen 7 processors and offer 8 cores and 16 threads, while the new Ryzen 7 generation will offer 12 cores and 24 threads. What’s even better is that most of the new CPUs are allegedly making an appearance at CES 2019, which is less than a month away at this point.
Increasing the core count has always been the AMD way to improve performance, but this is just ridiculous. Ridiculously good. 16 cores on AM4? And such high clocks? What will the X399 HEDT platform offer then? Well that’s a worry for another time.
Pokdepinion: Can’t wait to see what AMD has up their sleeves for CES 2019. Hope we won’t be disappointed!

realme C2 skips the fingerprint scanner in 2019

The realme C-series is realme’s lineup of entry-level smartphones. However why would realme decide that not having a fingerprint scanner on the realme C2 baffles me. But if you can look past that, the realme C2 offers a pretty interesting upgrade from the realme C1 that came last year.
Instead of the Snapdragon 450 clocked at 1.8 GHz, we are seeing a Helio P22 clocked at 2.0 GHz. GPU performance with the new Mediatek chipset in the realme C2 may be a bit worse than the realme C1’s though. We will see up to 3GB RAM this time too, but there’s no telling if it will make it to Malaysia.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

It will also sport a smaller notch than the realme C2, and a slightly smaller 4000 mAh battery as well. The back sees a massive revamp though, with a new Diamond Cut design that features a new nanoscale composite material for a new shimmery look. Definitely way better than the realme C1’s flat glossy plastic back.
Here are the realme C2’s specifications:
realme C2 Specifications

Mediatek Helio P22, octa-core up to 2.0 GHz, 12nm FinFET
Up to 3GB RAM
Up to 32GB storage (expandable via microSD)
6.1″ HD+ display, 89.35% screen-to-body ratio, dewdrop notch
13MP f/2.2 + 2MP depth sensor
5MP selfie camera
4000 mAh battery
ColorOS 6.0 based on Android 9 Pie
2GB + 16GB: INR 5999 (~RM356)
3GB + 32GB: INR 7999 (~RM475)

The realme C2 will be available in two colors: Diamond Black and Diamond Blue.
Pokdepinion: Probably a good choice for those who are getting their first smartphone?

BadPower Hack Can Cause Your Fast Charger To Set Your Device on Fire

BadPower: What is it?

Fast chargers are commonplace in today’s smartphone world with companies pushing for even faster charging technologies every year. They’re incredibly convenient and can top up your phone’s battery in a matter of minutes. Despite the clear convenience of fast chargers, recent findings have been made that could turn your beloved fast chargers into ticking time bombs. Researchers from Tencent’s Xuanwu Lab have discovered a vulnerability in fast chargers which they have dubbed as BadPower. According to their research, BadPower is able to modify a fast chargers firmware, basically manipulating the fast charger’s firmware to deliver power to a phone above the phone’s set charging limit.
For example, if you connect a phone that is capable of charging at only 5 volts to a fast charger, the charger will be able to recognise the phone’s charging speed cap and deliver power appropriately. With the BadPower hack, the fast charger will ignore the phone’s limit and deliver a constant 20 volts of power which can therefore overload the phone. In some cases it can even cause some devices to burst into flames.

Image credit: Tencent
Here’s a video demonstration of BadPower in action done by Tencent’s Xuanwu Lab researchers.

According to Tencent’s Xuanwu Lab, they found that most fast chargers lack any sort of safeguards when it comes to the data connection on their USB ports. This opens them to hackers tampering with the firmware’s coding which causes the charger to constantly deliver up to 20 volts. One thing to note though, while in the video above the researchers uses their own special device that simulates a phone carrying the malicious code, they believe that any phone can achieve the same thing.
They tested 35 different fast chargers from 8 different manufacturers and found that 18 of them were affected by the BadPower hack. They did not, however, disclose who those manufacturers are, which chargers they tested nor the chargers that were affected by the hack.
Is there a solution to this hack though? The Xuanwu Lab researchers suggested that manufacturers should add additional fail-safes to devices that don’t support high voltage fast charging. For us normal users, they advice against sharing out your fast chargers with other people willy nilly.

Pokdepinion: Wew this is scary. I mean, it’s not the most invasive of hacks out there (I think this hacking method takes that cake!) but it’s still a worrying one all the same.

New Dissidia Final Fantasy NT Character Announced; “I Can’t Hear the Hymn So Well Anymore…”

Shortly after the public demo at PSX SEA 2017, a new character has been announced for Dissidia Final Fantasy NT. A “sinful” being, you could say.
Over at PSX SEA 2017 just this past weekend, we had a blast playing the demo for Dissidia Final Fantasy NT. It was superbly fun and it felt pretty polished for a demo. Well, it seems like Square Enix and Ninja Theory has something up their sleeves for this game, in the form of a new character.

New Dissidia Final Fantasy NT Character Announced
ARVE Error: need id and provider
In a bit of an unsurprising twist, Square Enix and Ninja Theory has unveiled the latest addition to Dissidia Final Fantasy NT’s roster. It is none other that Sir Jecht from Final Fantasy X, who’s also Tidus’s father. The rugged man straight from the Blitzball scene of Final Fantasy X was announced today during a livestream from Tokyo.
He will be added to the arcade version of the game with an update coming this month, even if for now basically only Japanese fans will be able to enjoy his moves, since that’s where Dissidia Final Fantasy arcades are mostly located.
Jecht and Tidus from PSP’s Dissidia Final Fantasy. Not actual artwork for Dissidia Final Fantasy NT.
Jecht will most likely appear on Dissidia Final Fantasy NT’s console version for the PS4, even if we don’t really know how if all the additional characters from the arcade will be added at launch or at a later time, if ever. We’ll definitely be able to obtain more details on that when the recently-announced closed beta hits later this summer.
Dissidia Final Fantasy NT will launch early next year, exclusively for PlayStation 4.

Pokdepinion: Well, can’t say I was surprised since he did show up in Dissidia 012 for the PSP. Jecht is a popular character in the Final Fantasy universe, and works well as a Chaos counterpart to Tidus. Sure, you can use Seymour as a villain for Dissidia Final Fantasy NT but let’s be real, Jecht works way better for a game like this.

AMD Radeon RX 6800 series cards from AMD partners won’t be at MSRP until 2021

The AMD Radeon RX 6800 series offers really competitive performance at their respective price points, especially with the Radeon RX 6800 XT, which beats the GeForce RTX 3080 in quite a few games while coming in at a good $50 less. But it seems that that good value for money won’t be available to most of us, as AMD’s AIB partner cards are really expensive, well above AMD’s MSRP. But that might be changing soon.

It is probably worth mentioning that it is to be expected for AIBs to price their cards higher. On top of the cost of the AMD GPU, they also have to factor in the R&D and material costs for their custom cooling solutions. But when we are looking at all of them being above MSRP, and most of them going for more than $100 above AMD’s MSRP, it begins to make little sense. Apparently AMD is aware of this, and has told HardwareUnboxed that they are working with AIB partners to bring down the prices of AIB cards to MSRP levels in “four to eight weeks”.

AMD risks turning away their strongest supporters with this move, as the hardcore fans are the ones who will be getting the cards early on in their product lifecycle. Lowering the price later in the product cycle means that the diehard fans have now spent more of their hard-earned money than necessary.
According to Hot Hardware, AMD might be opting to only make their reference designs for the Radeon RX 6800 series available at MSRP because they are only planning to make them “through early 2021”, which coincides with AMD’s timing for the AIB cards to be available at MSRP.

With the severely limited availability of the Radeon RX 6800 series cards, you probably can’t blame the AIBs for jacking up the prices on the cards anyway. On the bright side, the higher costs on the partner cards might repel miners away, which means better inventory for gamers. Still, I guess it would be best to hold on to your cards and money for now, as both AMD and NVIDIA are expected to have better supply of their latest cards by next year.

Pokdepinion: Considering that we can generally only get AIB cards here in Malaysia, this sucks…

Why Kingdom Hearts 3 is Taking So Long; Possibility of Nintendo Switch Release

Tetsuya Nomura, the director for Kingdom Hearts 3, explains what happened behind the scenes and shifting the development period of the upcoming game.
After the recent reveal at the D23 expo, many got excited to see what’s new with Kingdom Hearts 3. We’ve received an official release window, but we haven’t gotten the actual date just yet. It’s been 12 years since Kingdom Hearts 2 and we’ve still yet to see the game’s release. Here’s why the development of Kingdom Hearts 3 is taking so long.
Why Kingdom Hearts 3 is Taking So Long
Picture credits: Kotaku
In an interview with DualShockers, Nomura-san mentioned that the development team knew how long the development window would have been since the beginning, and this goal was set in their planning. Those plans indicated that the team would spend a certain amount of time working on Kingdom Hearts 3, and the time frames in which they would receive additional staff.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

While that plan was already in place, there were factors involving Square Enix’s decisions that influenced the outcome. Those factors included the decision to switch to Unreal Engine 4, and changes in personnel planning. These decisions ended up affecting the actual release timing, but the development period did not really change, it just naturally shifted. That’s why Nomura-san feels that the team has been working according to the plans.
ARVE Error: need id and provider
Nomura-san elaborated further, explaining that the announcement of a game and full production aren’t necessarily linked. He heard a lot of people making it sound like he himself is taking too much time on the game, and that hurts. After about a year’s worth of development, the engine was changed from a proprietary engine to Unreal Engine 4, and that caused a setback, with part of the work that had to be re-done.
Unfortunately, that was an inevitable decision that the company had to make, but Nomura-san wanted to stress that it wasn’t due to problems on the development team’s side, and it wasn’t a case of him personally changing his mind.

The original plan mentioned before included the time the game would have required to develop, alongside how much additional personnel would have been needed after at certain time frames to mass produce the assets. Square Enix headquarters approved the plan, but internal staff is limited, and there are various different projects that happen within the company.
Timing for that did not work out, so the team had to make due with the timing that was appropriate for the company.  That contributed to the shift in the development period. Since those decisions were taken by the company, they were out of Nomura-san’s control.

Possibility of Nintendo Switch Release

When asked about the possibility of a Nintendo Switch release for Kingdom Hearts 3 at the D23 expo, Nomura-san gave a vague, but somewhat hopeful answer:
The Nintendo Switch is definitely a very interesting piece of hardware, but if we lightly say, ‘Oh yeah, we’ll be on the Nintendo Switch,’ I’m sure people will come back and say, ‘But what about the PS4 and Xbox One? We want them out first. Don’t focus on other platforms. So for now, we want to focus on what platforms we’ve already announced we’re going to be releasing Kingdom Hearts III on. And so after, perhaps, maybe we can start thinking about other possibilities.
If it ends up happen, it would be the first time a Kingdom Hearts game will be released on a Nintendo Console. We’ve seen Kingdom Hearts games pop up in the Gameboy Advance (Chain of Memories), Nintendo DS (358/2 Days), and even the 3DS (Dream Drop Distance), but those are handhelds.

Pokdepinion: Now here’s the thing about release windows. It may say 2018 but it could also mean much later in the year 2018. Then there’s also a possibility of another delay. I’m hoping that’s not the case but I’m growing a little bit impatient. Let’s just hope Kingdom Hearts 3 is worth the wait.

Hilarious Resident Evil 2 Mod Turns Mr. X into Thomas the Tank Engine

There’s now a Mr. X mod in Resident Evil 2 Remake that replaces him with Thomas The Tank Engine.
I live for this kind of shit pic.twitter.com/x3qwc2rvZ3
— Pixelbuster (@Nitomatta) March 2, 2019

If you have played Resident Evil 2 before, then chances are that you’ve had a nightmare of two of Mr. X bursting from the wall like the Kool Aid Man and chasing after you. The sheer randomness of his appearance gives many gamers and uneasy feeling and now, we’re about to crank it up a notch.
Following @Nitomatta on Twitter, we can see a mod which replaces Mr. X with Thomas the Tank Engine in action. As you can see from the video, the mod works similarly to the “X Gon’ Give It to Ya” mod that was super popular not too long ago.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

It’s a fun coincidence since the audio queue of the Thomas & Friends theme was done by the very same person who did the DMX mod, DJPop. As for the Thomas model, that was done by ZombieAli. If you really want to get the most out of the Thomas mod, you can use the aforementioned DMX audio mod with the Thomas model for a combination that is both horrifying and hilarious.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen modders include Thomas the Tank Engine is video games. If you’ve been on the internet long enough, then I’m sure you’ve seen videos of the dragons in Skyrim being replaced by Thomas to hilarious results.
Resident Evil 2 is now available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
Pokdepinion: Honestly, I’m not even sure which is scarier at this point. I suppose if they made Thomas appear with his theme music at earr*** volume levels, that would constitute a good jumpscare.
