In the early days of analog TV, a broadcast signal left a single terrestrial location and bounced to several receivers (like your TV’s antenna). While there’s no saying a stream couldn’t also be scheduled or short-lived, this concept does strike at the heart of what broadcast technology is all about. Whether live or pre-recorded, the content is scheduled and therefore access to it is limited. That or they’re fighting over the remote because some of them want to watch the basketball game and others a favorite television show. When you think of broadcasting, you might imagine a family viewing the evening news on a single television screen. If you’re looking to try your hand at live streaming or live broadcasting, then be sure to ask the right questions to better understand what you’re dealing with. These terms are so often conflated that they effectively mean the same thing in certain contexts. But don’t get too hung up in the semantics. It’s worth understanding the distinction as it lets you know the technological options available to you. Important Note: We can’t stress enough how often these terms are used interchangeably. In this article, we’ll break down what these terms really mean, as well as how the technologies compare in terms of quality, delivery speed, consumer behavior, and more. While broadcasting and streaming are often used interchangeably, they are distinct concepts when it comes to both live and pre-recorded content. However, as more streaming services adopt television functions and dabble in live programming, the lines between streaming service and broadcast TV are blurring. NPR notes that this is likely due to the on-demand nature of streaming shows, which are not beholden to the schedules of traditional broadcast TV. Earlier this year, streaming services made history by capturing more viewers in a single month (July) than traditional broadcast television.

The remaster is essentially a revamp of the 2012 PC release, with no changes or tweaks to the core game itself. Watch on YouTube Digital Foundry's video breakdown of Alan Wake Remastered on PS5 and Xbox Series consoles. As a precursor to Quantum Break and Control, this was the start of something special for Remedy. Not just technically, but also as a mechanic for the game: for weakening the Taken and for solving puzzles. Interplay with light also proved crucial. Fog, object physics, and dynamic shadows all impressed 11 years ago, and largely still hold up - though the game's 544p resolution was somewhat controversial. Looking back, Alan Wake was something of a technical showcase on release, as an Xbox exclusive. And of course, on high-end consoles like Xbox Series X, S and PS5, you get a resolution boost, plus 60 frames per second gameplay. Effects, lighting and shadow quality are bumped up, character models are reworked with new shaders for skin and hair, while texture resolution is increased. Alan Wake was a visually impressive game for its time for sure, but this remaster certainly does plenty in refreshing the title for the modern hardware specs.Ĭomparing to the original Xbox 360 release, the game is perhaps by necessity reworked in several key areas. Now remastered on PC, alongside PlayStation and Xbox consoles old and new, the recent release comes courtesy of D3T Studios in collaboration with original developer Remedy Entertainment. Pick up a flashlight, grab a thermos and get your typewriters ready because it's time to return to Bright Falls - with Alan Wake at last making a jump from Xbox 360 to other consoles, the first time it's done so since its first release in 2010. The island that our heroine, Tchia, calls home has been invaded by strange fabric creatures called the Maano. Therefore, folk China formed the custom of worshipping Kitchen God on 23rd or 24th of the 12th lunar month to pray for peace and prosperity in the coming year. Tchia keeps the beat while her father sings. Chinese people respected the Kitchen God because he would report to the Heaven. Therefore, the Jade Emperor gave him the title of Kitchen God since he died in the kitchen, and ordered him to report on 23rd and 24th of the 12th lunar month and come back on the New Year's Eve. The Jade Emperor learned the news and thought Zhang Shan was not so bad since he could change his mind. He was so ashamed that he got into the chamber of the kitchen range and was burnt to death. To me the ukulele is a strange reflection of Tchia as a concept. One day, he begged a family for food and the hostess offered him food – it turned out that it was his ex-wife that offered him the food. Tchia is as awe-inspiring soaked in sun and it is when blanketed by rain I can't wait to go back to this world. Zhang Shan experienced the family decline and suffered a fire, becoming a beggar. Join Tchia on her tropical open-world adventure as she sets off to rescue her father from the cruel tyrant, Meavora, ruler of the archipelago. The second wife was gluttonous and lazy, and she quickly spent all the money of Zhang Family and remarried another man. Climb, glide, swim, and sail your boat around a beautiful archipelago in this physics-driven sandbox. Legend has it that Kitchen God was a rich man named Zhang Shan, who married a good wife Guo Dingxiang but divorced and remarried a woman Li Haitang. Tchia Hauptmerkmale Erkundung und Überquerungen Springe und gleite über eine riesige Inselgruppe und nutze das Tricksystem für coole Stunts und Sprünge. Worshipping Kitchen God is the most important folk activity in the Chinese Little New Year. She is so desperate that she threatens suicide, and the Friar instead suggests that she takes a potion that will make her appear to be dead. Juliet arrives at the Friar's to be met by Paris, who is busy discussing their wedding plans. The Friar suggests a dangerous solution to the problem (Act 4 Scene 1) He threatens to disown her when she asks for the marriage to be at least postponed, and she runs to the Friar for advice and help. Believing her grief to be for the death of her cousin, Juliet's father tries to cheer Juliet by arranging her immediate marriage to Paris. They are immediately parted though, as Romeo must leave for banishment in Mantua or die if he is found in Verona. The unhappy couple are parted (Act 3 Scene 5)Īrranged by the Friar and the Nurse, Romeo and Juliet have spent their wedding night together. The Prince arrives and, on hearing the full story, banishes Romeo rather than have him executed. As Romeo tries to break up the fight, Tybalt manages to killkills Mercutio and, enraged, Romeo then kills Tybalt. Romeo refuses to fight and his friend Mercutio is so disgusted by this 'cowardice' that the takes up the challenge instead. Romeo meets Tybalt in the street, and is challenged by him to a duel. Romeo angrily kills Juliet's cousin, Tybalt (Act 3 Scene 1) Juliet tells her parents she is going to make her confession to Friar Laurence, meets Romeo there and, despite some personal misgivings, the friar marries them immediately. The wedding is held in secret (Act 2 Scene 5) In keeping with what we’ve come to expect from the series, Project Cars 3 is even more stunning than its predecessors with gorgeous environments, dynamic seasons and weather, a genuine hair-raising sense of speed, and explosive collisions. Project Cars 3, on the other end, throws that formula out the window for a far more accessible, arcade-style experience that makes excellent use of VR capabilities for a light, accessible driving game, earmarking it as the perfect first stop for VR newbies before they move on to more unforgiving titles, of which there’s no shortage. Project Cars 2 rightly turned heads for offering a good balance between realism and fun, free of surplus complexity in the mechanics, but with just enough depth for purists. If you are looking to get into VR try these pages too: So here are our picks for the best VR racing games you can play on various headsets right now. Today, we’ll be sharing what we think are the best examples of how VR propels the genre forward, tapping into the full capabilities of tech to have you almost inhaling the tart fumes of burning tires and feeling the crunch of colliding nose wings. So it’s no wonder developers have turned to VR, the latest and arguably the most exciting frontier in video games, to push the envelope of immersive racing experiences. It’s that drive to match the visceral thrill of rushing metal and fierce competition, to reproduce the sensation of carving the perfect line around the banked curves of a speedway or deftly navigating the streets of Monaco. If not, you’re still left with some amazing titles to have fun with.From rudimentary mechanical racing games in 1930s amusement arcades unrecognizable by today’s standards to modern-day hyper-realistic simulators like iRacing, the love affair between games and racing would take multiple tomes to recount. It's good to have a choice: try Virtual Reality games and see if they’re really for you. Making tough decisions is what this franchise is known for, and looking at the events as if you were the character making vital choices brings a whole new level of experience to your gameplay. If you think that you can handle horrors, why don’t you try playing Telltale’s The Walking Dead ? It’s a fantastic series anyway, so this additional layer makes it one of the best VR games on Steam. Gets a little bit spookier, that’s for sure. For example, you can enjoy the gameplay in Resident Evil 7 Biohazard in a traditional way or, if you’re daring enough, try playing it with the use of your VR equipment. It just so happens that there are several Steam VR games that allow for that. The deal is quite simple: play the title with or without your headset. VR compatible games allow for both sides of the spectrum. Virtual Reality may not be a 100% accurate representation of this, although it’s more than enough to stimulate our imagination. Still, we all dreamt about becoming the main protagonist of our favourite game and doing all of the cool stuff in it. Moreover, many players say that a 2-hour long session is more than enough, as their eyes aren’t used to the gameplay. It still isn’t perfect: the controls aren’t too precise and there are some compromises here and there for the title to work correctly. You’re not exactly IN the game, but the immersion is certainly better than when you’re playing a “regular” PC game. What makes VR compatible games so popular?īeing able to look at what’s going on in first-person perspective is a really simple sensation, yet a very effective one. |
