By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Brooklyn, NY - One of the defining features of Samsung’s Galaxy Note line has always been the inclusion of the S Pen stylus. When it came out in 2011, the first Galaxy Note (with a whopping 5.3-inch display!) was considered an outlier in the smartphone world.

Insomniac has ‘no plans’ to produce another ‘Resistance’ game

If you’re still holding out hope that Insomniac Games will release another Resistance game, unfortunately, you’re out of luck. The developer has no plans to make another version of the shooter series. James Stevenson, community director for Insomniac told Finder, “Oh wow, if I was a betting man? It feels like it’s a longshot to me. But I have learned over the years to never say never. I think there are a lot of people out there that have fond memories of a Resistance game from the PS3 era, but yeah, never say never, it’s just that we have no plans to make another Resistance game in the future.”

The last Resistance game came out in 2011. But while Insomniac doesn’t have any plans, Stevenson points out that Sony owns the IP and if they wanted, they could return to the series. “It’s actually Sony that owns the IP and owns that universe. So I guess if they were really passionate about making Resistance 4 and we couldn’t or didn’t want to do it, Sony could totally engage another developer. But that would be up to Sony, not us.”

Razer set to launch Razer Phone 2 by December 2018

Razer was the first to put out a gamer-centric smartphone and it wants to build on that with a new iteration of the phone. Razer VP Chen Xiaoping announced at China Joy 2018 in Shanghai that the next Razer Phone will be coming by the end of the year in China. Chinese media speculate the new phone will come with a Snapdragon 855 processor because Qualcomm usually launches its new chipset in early December.

He said the phone will carry the “latest chipset” but isn’t specifying which one. We can expect the phone to feature top-notch specs, similar to the original Razer Phone. As for whether it’s getting a global release, well, that’s another thing we’d have to wait and see happen. But Razer did launch the original smartphone internationally so we’re expecting them to do the same.
