‘Gears of War’ to be getting a remastered version on Xbox One

It’s become a habit (and a source of income) for companies to port their classic games to the latest consoles. Microsoft is cashing in on that trend with a remastered version of the first Gears of War game. The company, together with Black Tusk Studios and Dirty Bomb’s Splash Damage, are working on the game. It’ll feature better in-game graphics and “reworked cutscenes” made by animation studio Plastic Wax.

However, don’t expect it to be a new game. But if you’re feeling nostalgic for the cover-based shooter, this might be something to watch for.

Nokia denies any plans of making any smartphones

If you’ve been holding out for a Nokia device, you might be waiting for nothing. Of course, they could return to the business after the agreement with Microsoft ends in 2016. But it would seem they would want to deny the possibility now. In a statement they said: “Nokia reiterates it currently has no plans to manufacture or sell consumer handsets.”

You could say they could change their tune in the future but for now what we do get from them is the N1 Android tablet, HERE mapping service, and they have just purchased Alcatel-Lucent. We probably would see them in the cloud computing and Internet of Things space more than the consumer smartphone market anytime soon.
