Crypt of the NecroDancer mod is the Mega Man rhythm game we’ve never had

Not ready for “Mega May” to end just yet? Capcom has done a good job making sure that every classic Mega Man game that it can release has been released through digital channels, but when it comes to original content, the fan scene is still the best place to look. Like this mod for example! The Mega Man series is eternally memorable for its amazing soundtracks, but we’ve sadly never gotten a rhythm game out of it. Luckily, we have CutmanMike to thank for modding the Blue Bomber, a host of his iconic enemies, an arsenal of special weapons, and several of his greatest musical hits into the indie hit Crypt of the NecroDancer. For those who have not played it,  Crypt of the NecroDancer  is a dungeon crawling roguelike game. Sure, we have enough of those these days, but the kicker which really helps this one stand out is that it must be played to a beat for maximum performance. Miss a beat, and your character will do less damage or miss an attack. The Mega Man mod r...

See Chris Pratt train his crew of raptors in a new ‘Jurassic World’ clip

Is there any piece of film music more recognizable than the theme from Jurassic Park , scored by John Williams, progenitor of many beloved numbers? That’s a rhetorical question, because there is not (OK, except for the Star Wars theme.) The wondrous, swelling music introduces us to a new featurette for Jurassic World , which has some big shoes to fill. While there has been a Jurassic Park 2 and Jurassic Park 3 , Jurassic World is the true successor to the first movie, which was a miraculous and groundbreaking work from Steven Spielberg when it came out in 1993. The new film picks up approximately 30 years after Jurassic Park , which ended with the park in disarray. Now, however, Jurassic World is a bustling theme park, with attractions, shows and one very large genetically modified dinosaur.  The new featurette provides some cool new footage, along with some commentary by executive producer Steven Spielberg, director Colin Trevorrow and Chis Pratt, who is part of the pa...

Job listings point to plans to finally revamp iTunes

Apple’s Music app  is expected to get an overhaul this year as it absorbs Beats Music and expands into à la carte streaming. Now, it looks like iTunes could get a much-needed refresh as well after Apple posted a whole bunch of job listings seemingly focused on the desktop music app on Tuesday. Spotted by Apple Insider , the new positions focus on music search and discover, video, and big data, suggesting iTunes is getting a major update. The listings mainly focus on the iTunes store, along with iTunes Genius, iTunes Match and iTunes Radio, which all fall under the company’s Music Discovery Services Group umbrella. Clearly Apple has big plans for its music service. Unfortunately, we’re not expecting to see these changes implemented anytime soon. If Apple is just hiring people now, it could be months or even years before anything official is announced. It’s possible the company has already made some big changes internally, and simply needs more engineers...

That’s right, pay what you want (as long as it’s more than a buck) for games playable on either the Wii U or Nintendo 3DS (or both) by way of the eShop. Sweet deal.

Jonny Quest movie is being directed by Robert Rodriguez

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo Jonny Quest , a show from the 1960s with a small but loyal following, is getting the live-action treatment, according to The Hollywood Reporter . Development is in the early stages, with no real timeline or actors involved. However, the report claims Robert Rodriguez ( Sin City ) is in line to direct, with Terry Rossio ( Pirates of the Caribbean ) set to help Rodriguez with writing a script. The original primetime cartoon was produced by Hanna-Barbera and introduced back in 1964. The classic show followed Jonny and his father as they went on adventures across the globe; other regulars included Hadji, Jonny’s best friend, a bodyguard named Roger Bannon, and Bandit, an adorable little dog. The show featured what any kid’s show about a young traveler would feature: robots, mummies, secret bases and more. Although it lasted for just one season, Jonny Quest was beloved by the public, and only went off air because it became too expensive to produce. A fe...

Next ASUS ZenPad tablet shown in new leak

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo ASUS looks set to kick off a new line of tablets dubbed the ZenPad, according to a pair of leaked renders obtained by  Ausdroid . The device is expected to arrive next week at Computex as part of a family of Android tablets with 4:3 aspect ratios. The ZenPad will reportedly ship in 7-inch and 8-inch variants with similar designs. The smaller model is expected to offer a 1024×600-pixel resolution, while the larger option is said to pack in a 2048×1536 resolution. Both tablets appear to sport microSD card slots for adding extra storage, front facing speakers, SIM card slots for data connectivity and Intel processors. The Taiwan-based company has designed some impressive tablets in the past, including the popular Nexus 7 . There was also the slightly confusing PadFone hybrid series, which never really took off here in America. Hopefully the ZenPad can build on the  Zen brand’s recent momentum to...

2K teasing Advent, sounds a whole lot like BioShock to fans

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo The last few days, 2K has been tweeting and sharing links to a weird site. It’s AdventFuture.org, and it’s very obviously a new marketing campaign for a game they’ll likely reveal at E3. Hit the site and you’ll find promises of a Utopian city. “Building a brighter future together,” it reads. “The ADVENT Administration strives to create a world free from hunger, pain, sickness, and war. We believe in a global community of happy and comfortable citizens.” A little scrolling reveals more GIFs and images (like the big three you see above), and then the site really starts to deteriorate. Check out the sidewalks in the first image above, by the way. I count three and part of a fourth weird looking statue or robot. Enemies? Enforcers? Red text shows up. “The ADVENT is lying to you.” “Millions have gone missing…” and a link to sign up for 2K’s mailing list that reads “Sign up at your peril.” Right, a futuristic Utopian city that’s actually a Dystopia? Pro...

YotaPhone 3 and YotaPhone 2c: Here’s what’s coming next from Yota

The YotaPhone 2 began its journey  to the U.S. last week, but the Russian company is already planning its future smartphones. We recently spoke to Yota’s Managing Director for the Americas, Matthew G. Kelly, who revealed plans for a YotaPhone 3 and a YotaPhone 2c in the not-too-distant future. The YotaPhone 3 will offer better specs, including a faster processor (likely from Qualcomm) a sharper display and a better E Ink screen in back. You can also expect more RAM (up from 2GB on the YotaPhone 2), a more powerful camera, and a thinner design overall. When the YotaPhone 3 actually launches may depend on its predecessor’s success, though it looks like the current YotaPhone is already a hit here in the U.S. “We have a next-generation product lined up,” Kelly told TechnoBuffalo.  “We can’t sell our next generation until we sell our current one. Carriers are interested, but a lot hinges on how well the YotaPhona 2 does.” Kelly also confirmed plans for a cheaper...

Moto 360 now just $150

  See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo The Moto 360 has seen its fair share of sales. Earlier this month it was priced at just $129 , though that offer only existed for a single day through Woot, and it has been on sale through Best Buy several times. Now Motorola is selling the Moto 360 for just $150, a full $100 off its original retail price. The sale runs through June 9, long after Google I/O and when we expect Motorola to introduce a new version of the wearable, but it’s still an awesome price for a great smartwatch. Keep in mind, however, that the starting price of $149 includes a leather watch strap and a watch face with a dark or light finish. You’ll still need to pay for upgrades such as the champagne watch face or a different band, but the total cost is still much cheaper. We think most folks should probably sit tight and see what kind of new model Motorola introduces , but you can hit the source if you’re on a budget and want to get in on one of the best ...

Resident Evil Zero is getting an HD remaster

Capcom will continue its journey back to Resident Evil ‘s roots early next year with the release of  Resident Evil Zero HD Remaster,  according to a report from  Famitsu . Earlier this year we saw the original  Resident Evil , as it was released on GameCube, get its own generally well-received remaster. Since the critical pounding Capcom got with  Resident Evil 6 , the company has been going for a more old-school approach to its survival horror property. Resident Evil Revelations 1 & 2  had a much more classic feel to them despite the  Resident Evil 4 style controls, and of course the  Resident Evil HD Remaster retained the camera angles and visual style of its 2002 release. Resident Evil Zero is a prequel to the original  Resident Evil , following one of its secondary characters, Rebecca Chambers. She teams up with a convict named Billy Coen for the first instance of single-player coop in the series.  Resident Evil ...

Grand Theft Auto V mod adds Just Cause 2’s ridiculous grappling hook

WARNING: This is a Grand Theft Auto V video, meaning it might be NSFW. It’s video game science at its absolute best. Add a grappling hook to a video game, the game becomes exponentially more fun! Avalanche Studio got the grand idea a few years ago to not only add a grappling hook to a sandbox style video game but to build an entire game around one. Toss in an infinite supply of disposable parachutes, and Just Cause 2 was born. That fun will live on this fall when  Just Cause 3 is released , but in the meantime, those who own Grand Theft Auto V  can experience it a little earlier with a brand new mod. The latest in a masterpiece string of mods for the game’s PC release, this one by JulioNIB, perfectly mimics each of Just Cause 2’s grappling hook functions. Attach civilians to a car? No problem! Propel yourself to any attachable surface? Sure thing! Surf along the roof of cars? Absolutely! In fact, I’d say this mod actually improves on the mechanic because more tha...

Apple invents multitouch “Fusion keyboard”

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo Apple recently launched its new Force Touch technology, which is available on the latest MacBook and MacBook Pro computers , as well as the Apple Watch. That’s not the only new form of input it’s working on, however. A new patent awarded to the company describes a revamped keyboard that features multitouch keys. The patent, titled “Fusion keyboard” describes your standard array of keys placed on a typical keyboard. The keys can be depressed to type, as an ordinary mechanical keyboard already allows, but each key also features a multitouch surface. “A touch sensor can be included to detect touch events on the surface of the keys,” Apple explains in the patent’s abstract statement. “A keypad can also be included to detect a depression of the mechanical keys. One or more of the depressible mechanical keys can be multi-purpose keys capable of being depressed to multiple levels. The touch sensitive mechanical keyboard can receive key depression input, t...

Konami’s working on a new Yu-Gi-Oh! game, and it isn’t coming to mobile

The German ratings board has let loose word of a brand new game from Konami. It’s a Yu-Gi-Oh! game called Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist . Now, I don’t mean to poo poo the news of a new Yu-Gi-Oh! for series fans. I never got into the show or games, but I totally get that it has its share of fans out there. I was one generation ahead of this one, so I just missed it. The reason I point out news of this new Yu-Gi-Oh! is because it’s releasing for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. That’s right, a Konami game that’s bound to release on non-mobile platforms. Konami has notoriously been blowing up its share in the gaming world lately. Their relationship with Hideo Kojima is done as soon as Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain comes out, they’ve cancelled Silent Hills , pulled P.T. from the PlayStation Store and announced a brand new focus on the mobile platform . Yep, Konami is going mobile. Yet, here we are with word of a non-mobile game from the company. I wonder how Yu-Gi-Oh!...

OnePlus will “shake up the industry” on June 1

OnePlus says it’s “time for a change” on June 1. The particulars aren’t made clear, but we all know what we want to see: a new phone. A gorgeous, affordable, fast, new phone. Whether we’ll get that remains to be seen. The rumors, after all, have been all over the map. Whatever it is the company has planned will “shake up the tech industry,” according to a cryptic Tweet. The small Chinese startup already made waves with the OnePlus One, a device that eventually became our favorite smartphone from last year . If the company can hit the same notes of power, affordability and design, there’s a good chance OnePlus will repeat last year’s feat. We’re always looking for ways to shake up the tech industry. And we think it’s time for change. Find out more June 1. http://pic.twitter.com/odrsSko6dB — OnePlus (@oneplus) May 26, 2015 The Tweet is accompanied by a OnePlus One that’s being erased (or drawn) right before our very eyes. That could indicate the company is ready to unveil what’s ...

Need for Speed reboot uses the same engine as Star Wars: Battlefront

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo In continuation with EA’s grand plan to unify its library under just two graphics engines, the company has employed the most recent version of the Frostbite Engine to power the recently announced Need for Speed reboot . This is the same build used to power the highly anticipated and beautiful shooter  Star Wars: Battlefront . Confirmation comes from Frostbite’s Technical Director Johan Andersson. Our next @NeedForSpeed by @GhostGamesEA running on the same version of @FrostbiteEngine as Battlefront! https://t.co/u1BIeB6d9S — Johan Andersson (@repi) May 21, 2015 Sounds like an instant win. Frostbite is particularly great at rendering shiny metal objects, and that’s exactly what the fast cars of Need for Speed are. Fast, shiny metal on the rock hard concrete. The official Twitter account also chipped in some information saying it isn’t a direct sequel to Need for Speed Underground 2 , but it does share a lot in common ...

The Witcher 3 gets two free DLC updates this week

I’m not even sure I’ve seen a tenth of what The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has to offer in terms of quests and characters, and I’m here writing about new DLC set to release this week. CD Projekt RED has announced two free pieces of DLC bound for their monster detective open world RPG. That’s right, I said free. Neither of them are massive bits of content, but fans who can’t get enough of Geralt and his adventures should be excited. The word comes from CD Projekt RED on Facebook. Here’s what they said about the two pieces of DLC. CONTRACT: MISSING MINERS – Miners from a small Skellige village are disappearing. Investigate and find out what’s happening! ALTERNATIVE LOOK FOR YENNEFER – Check out this entirely new look for the mighty sorceress Yennefer of Vengerberg! Sure. both bits are sort of ho-hum. Still, free is free, and if you’ve somehow seen everything The Witcher 3 has to offer (you crazy person), this is here for you to enjoy. See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo Source : Fa...

OS X Yosemite 10.10.4 beta 4 released

Apple on Tuesday released the fourth beta version of OS X Yosemite 10.10.4 . It’s the very latest version of Apple’s operating system, though the company hasn’t spent much time detailing what we can expect from it. Instead, most of the changelogs have simply said that it includes performance enhancements, bug fixes, enhanced support for Arabic, and focuses on Photos and Migration. Photos, however, was the main change in Apple’s latest public release, OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 , when the app replaced Apple’s Aperture software, so any changes in OS X 10.10.4 are more than likely just small tweaks. In its WWDC 2015 invite, Apple promised to discuss the “future of iOS and OS X,” so that’s where we expect to hear more on the future of OS X. If you’re a developer, however, you should be able to update to OS X 10.10.5 beta 4 now. Source : iClarified from TechnoBuffalo http://ift.tt/1F8HEhk

Mad Max game’s new trailer is about a man and his car

Mad Max isn’t based on the new movie,  Mad Max: Fury Road even a bit. They’re separate projects. Despite that, they start out very similarly… Our protagonist, Max Rockatansky, is chased down by a gang of War Boys before being caught and beaten, his car taken away. Instead of being captured, though, he’s left for dead. Big mistake. Max meets up with the mechanic Chumbucket who wants to build him a new car, called the Magnum Opus, the car we’ll spend the game customizing in the quest to take revenge on the warlord Scrotus. Yes, Scrotus. So many of these games try to put us in one moral quandary after another, but with Max there’s no question, just one goal: survive at all costs. If I wasn’t already hyped enough for the title just on it being a Mad Max game,  Fury Road has my excitement through the roof. Let’s be clear, though: this is  not   Fury Road . Miller’s newest addition to his series was a better movie than anyone would’ve guessed ahead of release, ...

iOS 9 to feature Force Touch and some much-needed tweaks

iOS 9 leaks are coming faster than ever. Just a couple of weeks before  Apple’s Worldwide Developer’s Conference , a new report claims to reveal even more about the big iOS update. According to 9to5Mac  editor Mark Gurman, iOS 9 will add Force Touch support for upcoming iPhones and iPads. Apple is apparently already working with third-party developers to incorporate the new feature, which is also headed to in-house software like Maps. However, Force Touch is likely tied to the iPhone 6s, due to hardware constraints that are required to offer the tech, meaning it may not be announced until later this year when the device is unveiled. In the meantime, the iOS 9 update could also bring some smaller improvements. iMessage will allegedly get read receipts for group chats, along with the ability to specify who can see them in one-on-one conversations. The preinstalled QuickType keyboard will also reportedly get some nice tweaks, including an improve...
