Sony officially drops PS Vita

Sony is no longer producing the PlayStation Vita. The company announced that it’s ended production on the console’s last two models over on its Japanese product page. Sony already announced early on that it would stop producing the PS Vita this year. Any physical game cards produced for the device would also be stopped at the end of the 2018 fiscal year, which is March 31, 2019.

Launched in 2011, the PS Vita didn’t quite catch on, selling only 16.1 million units, which as The Verge points out is a far cry from the previous PlayStation Portable that preceded it and the Nintendo Switch that followed it.

Warner Bros. announces 2022 release date for ‘Aquaman 2’

With the film grossing over US$1.1 billion worldwide, it comes as no surprise that Aquaman 2 is getting a sequel. The highest grossing DC film of all time for Warner Bros. is scheduled to get its sequel on December 16, 2022. It will be written by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, who co-wrote the first film with Will Beall. James Wan and Peter Safran will be producing the film. Aquaman starred Jason Momoa as the titular superhero, who is the son of a human lighthouse keeper and an Atlantean queen. The film’s cast also included Amber Heard, Nicole Kidman, Willem Dafoe, Patrick Wilson, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, and Dolph Lundgren.

Warner Bros. is also developing another film in the Aquaman universe currently called The Trench. It is being described as a horror spinoff of the original film and focuses on the creatures in that underwater realm. Wan and Safran are also producing the said film.

Samsung Galaxy S10 line gets Netflix HDR10 support

The Galaxy S10, S10+, and S10e join the Note8, Note9, and Galaxy S9 phones to support Netflix’s HDR10 content. This, however, is different from the HDR10+, which the phones support. HDR10+ has been co-developed Samsung. It is an extension of the other standard but offers dynamic range allocation on a frame by frame basis instead of having it fixed from the beginning of playback. This offers a better rendition of content that has both very bright and dark scenes. At the moment, you can only stream HDR10+ content from Amazon Prime Video.
