Arizona Sunshine, a zombie game, announced for SteamVR on HTC Vive

One of the first genres that I think of when I consider the potential success and future of the virtual reality gaming medium is survival horror. VR has the potential to take survival horror to new heights, and if developers can bring together immersion and terror into a really, really good illusion, gamers will eat it up.

I won’t. No. Because I’m a bonafide chicken when it comes to horror games. No sir. Nope.

Arizona Sunshine might not be a strict survival horror game, but it is a zombie effort bound for SteamVR on the HTC Vive. It’s coming from Vertigo Games and Jaywalker Interactive, both without too much in the way of game creation experience. The teaser above is neat, but man do I hate those cuts.

The HTC Vive’s motion controllers mean that this game will offer, well, motion control. Arizona Sunshine will be a short, broken up title presented in “Bite-sized chunks that flow together to form the complete picture.”

It looks interesting, though perhaps a bit like what one would expect from the first wave of VR games. Hopefully it nails that zombie genre well enough to push the platform in the right direction.

Tesla Model S update promises to solve “range anxiety”

Tesla announced a new update coming to its Model S car this year which should make it impossible to ever drive too far away from a charging station, at least on purpose. The company also confirmed plans to add auto-steering features later this year. Ahead of the recent event, CEO Elon Musk promised to kill “range anxiety” once and for all, describing the concern some Tesla drivers feel over whether they’ll be able to reach a charging station in time. Once the firmware update (version 6.2) hits, it will add a Range Assurance application that keeps track of your location and the nearest chargers. The app, which always runs in the background, will send a notification to the driver if he or she is about to wander out of range so that they can turn around in time. “This makes it effectively impossible for a Model S driver to run out of range unintentionally,” Musk said. Version 6.2 should roll out in the next two weeks. It also includes a new Trip Planner feature that helps map out long...

Apple Maps may finally get public transit directions with iOS 9

A new report from  9to5Mac  says Apple Maps will finally get public transit directions along with a few other new features in iOS 9. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard similar claims , but hopefully this time the rumors are true. According to the generally reliable Mark Gurman, Apple “hopes” to include subway, bus and train directions with iOS 9. The update may add a new trip planning feature and a special public transit view as well. The company is also hoping to debut indoor mapping this year. Apple is already using small iBeacon-equipped robots to map indoor spaces, though it’s unclear if the new feature will be ready in time. Apple Maps has gotten progressively better over the past few years, but it’s still missing a key feature for anyone who lives in a city or relies on public transportation. Of course, that’s just a small fraction of the company’s massive user base, so it makes sense that Apple isn’t in a rush to add subway directions. If Apple does announce th...

Comcast Xfinity Share app lets you stream video to a friend’s TV

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo Comcast just announced its own live streaming app to compete with Periscope and Meerkat . Xfinity Share is available now for Android and iOS, though it’s pretty limited at the moment. The new app lets you stream video from your smartphone straight to someone else’s phone or TV. However, you both need to be paying for Xfinity Triple Play service and have access to the company’s X1 set-top box software . Comcast is still working on rolling out X1 to many of its customers, so for now Xfinity Share’s scope will be extremely limited. Still, the potential here seems pretty obvious. Periscope and Meerkat may appeal to a younger generation, but for everyone else Comcast’s solution sounds a lot more practical. Based on the company’s own renders, you could go from watching TV to watching a live stream with just a few clicks from the remote. Down the road, Comcast also plans to offer new features that should expand what Xfinity Share can do. That include...
