Resident Evil 9 Almost Started As Open World Horror
Capcom started making Resident Evil 9 back in 2017. The company wanted an open-world game with many players working together. Leon Kennedy and Jill Valentine would explore a fake island based on Singapore. Resident Evil 7 sold poorly at first and scared the company, so developers decided to make something completely different from that single-player horror game. The project changed direction around 2021 when Resident Evil Village launched. During this restart, most of the original ideas were discarded. Leon Kennedy stayed as the main character for the new version. Some parts from the first concept remain, but the game looks very different. Capcom leaker Dusk Golem shared these details through social media. Other Resident Evil projects...

Chrono Odyssey Twist Will Blow Your Mind
The team behind Chrono Odyssey shared a long video about their new online game. Executive Producer Sangtae talked about the world called Setera, where time gets mixed up.

Gamers can switch between two different weapons during battles. Each weapon has separate cooldown times for special moves. The closed...

Xiaomi XRING 01 Benchmark Flop Falls Short at 2.6M
Xiaomi bragged about their new XRING 01 chip scoring over three million points on AnTuTu tests. The company showed these big numbers during their product launch event. A reviewer named S.White decided to check if these claims were real. The actual test results came back much lower at 2,613,424 points. This meant Xiaomi's numbers were 13 percent higher than reality. The XRING 01 lost against chips from other companies on the same benchmark. Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite hit 2,954,535 points during testing. MediaTek's Dimensity 9400 also easily beat Xiaomi's processor. All three chips are made using the same factory process from TSMC. Heat during testing probably caused the weaker performance numbers.
