Google’s new cloud photo service said to launch this month

google-photos

Google may finally be ready to announce a stand-alone photo app. The company has been hard at work on a new service separate from Google+, and Bloomberg reports that it could get an official unveiling at the company’s I/O developers conference this month.

According to several anonymous sources, Google’s new app will focus on photo sharing and storage. You’ll be able to push images directly to Facebook and Twitter. Hopefully the popular “Auto Awesome” features that enhance your pictures on Google+ will be included in the new service as well.

We’re curious to see what Google comes up with. If the company can simply unbundle the Google+ Photos app from the rest of the social network that will likely be enough. However, it looks like the search giant may want to differentiate itself even more from the competition.

Google previously confirmed plans to split photos from the rest of its social network. It’s been a few months since the company hinted at the change though, and we’re still waiting for an update. TechnoBuffalo will be covering I/O live from San Francisco late this month on May 28, though it’s possible more information could leak out before then. Stay tuned.

Star Wars: Battlefront will not have classes

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo When it comes time to pick your gear and weaponry in DICE’s upcoming relaunch of  Star Wars: Battlefront , you won’t be sifting through classes or class-specific stuff. That’s because the new  Battlefront has no class. I don’t mean that in a belch during dinner at a fancy restaurant kind of way, either. I mean you won’t be picking stuff like Engineer, Assault or Support before you roll onto the battlefield. In an interview with OXM , as summed up by the magazine’s sister site  Games Radar , Design Director Niklas Fegraeus indicated that classes are out. You’ll be able to pick and choose between unlocked weapons and gear freely and build to your own style. Furthermore, Fegraeus also indicated that  Battlefront will not feature the five-person squad feature that  Battlefield  offers. Instead, players will run as partners, a group of two system that lets players stick together, appear on one another’s HUDs and spawn besi...

Grandia II confirmed for an HD re-release on Steam

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo GungHo Entertainment of America apparently has the results of its recent customer survey , and Grandia II  is the lucky winner scoring the first HD remaster out of it. The report comes to us through GameSpot where the company claims that the game was given “enthusiastic” support. Grandia II was originally released on the Dreamcast in 2000 to quite a large amount of fanfare, and it arguably remains the second most popular RPG on the console after Skies of Arcadia . I played the PlayStation 2 version in 2002 way back when, and I wasn’t too impressed. However, the Grandia franchise is also home to that classic style of JRPG storytelling that only gets better with age. Maybe I’ll have to dedicate some time to this cult classic whenever GungHo gets around to publishing it. President of GungHo America Jun Iwasaki chimed in on the response. “With the rise of digital downloads, it is especially important that classic g...

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly ...
