There will be over 50 unique weapons for ‘Red Dead Redemption 2’

There will be many ways you can kill things in the upcoming open-world western game Red Dead Redemption 2. Rockstar Games just tweeted that there will be over 50 different weapons to choose from. The first game, Red Dead Revolver, had 28 different weapons. Meanwhile, Red Dead Redemption had 36, but this came after the DLC. And as Comicbook.com speculates, if Red Dead Redemption 2 takes the route of adding weapons post-launch, we might get over 60 weapons when it comes out—and this might just be from the single player campaign. Red Dead Online might have more.

If you want to read what Red Dead Redemption 2 is about, here’s the official synopsis: "America, 1899. The end of the Wild West era has begun as lawmen hunt down the last remaining outlaw gangs. Those who will not surrender or succumb are killed. After a robbery goes badly wrong in the western town of Blackwater, Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang are forced to flee. With federal agents and the best bounty hunters in the nation massing on their heels, the gang must rob, steal and fight their way across the rugged heartland of America in order to survive. As deepening internal divisions threaten to tear the gang apart, Arthur must make a choice between his own ideals and loyalty to the gang who raised him." Red Dead Redemption 2 will launch on October 26 via the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

A large number of Android devices won’t be able to run Google Chrome soon

A recent commit for Google Chrome suggests at least 32 million Android devices won’t be able to use the mobile browser soon. The API level for the Chrome mobile browser will be raised from 4.1 to 4.4, so this means those devices that still run on Android Jelly Bean will not be able to use Chrome. Based on the latest figures, Jelly Bean is still used on 3.2% of Android devices and if there are roughly one billion phones and tablets using Google’s open source mobile OS, this means it can possibly affect 32 million devices. But then again, it might be time for an upgrade. Android 4.1 Jelly Bean first came out on July 10, 2012, while the first stable version of Chrome on mobile came out on June 27, 2012.

Rumoured Google Home Hub might launch alongside Pixel 3, arrive as soon as October 22nd

Rumours of Google’s take on the Echo Show surfaced when a recent FCC filing suggested the existence of an “Interactive Video Streaming Device.”  It’s being called the Home Hub and a leak from YouTuber Jon Prosser suggests the Home Hub will be launching alongside the Pixel 3 and the other hardware coming out on October 9th. The photo he showed gave some more details about what the Home Hub can do. These include the basic functions of the Google Home speaker, plus it will support Voice Match, which lets it recognize different people’s voices and pull up specific information for said person. The Home Hub has a display to display information the user needs and can bring up relevant YouTube videos on it, too. If there’s any truth to the leak, it looks like the Home Hub will come out as early as October 22nd.
