Star Citizen 3.0's planetary landing blows No Man's Sky away

This week at Gamescom, Roberts Space Industries showed off version 3.0 of Star Citizen, introducing the game's planetary tech. For backers playing Star Citizen in its 2.4 or 2.5 versions, they begin on a space station, and they can cruise around together in some spiffy-looking spaceships, but it's mostly about combat, with a limited sandbox component as well. 3.0, which is coming towards the end of this year, brings the first proper star system in Star Citizen to life, and is a major step towards making this universe feel like a gigantic backdrop.

11 changes we want to see in No Man's Sky's future updates

Let us hire wingmen and fly our ships underwater. Plus everyone gets to pick one planet to completely destroy. When I spoke to Sean Murray back in March he mentioned that No Man’s Sky didn’t feel like a game that was right for paid DLC (a statement he has recently stepped back from a bit) but he did mention that the game might receive free updates based on player behavior and feedback. I can certainly think of a few changes I’d like to see in the coming weeks and months, so I put together a wishlist.

The Case for Treating Near-Death Experiences Like Acid Trips

Abortion debates. The right to die. Cloning. The edges of life are also ethical fault lines, where social values clash at tectonic pressures. In a pluralistic society, it’s no surprise that these are also the sites of our most entrenched debates... By Andrew Aghapour.

This VR gun uses haptic feedback to simulate real gunfire

Two years ago, Striker VR demoed an early version of its haptic recoil system designed to make fake guns feel like they're being fired while in virtual reality, a project that was initially designed for military training. Now the company is back with the Infinity v1, a working prototype of a haptic VR gun that can simulate a number of different weapons being fired. Striker VR gave Road to VR a demo of its new Infinity v1 prototype...

Positive link between video games and academic performance, study suggests

Children who play online video games tend to do better in academic science, maths and reading tests, according to an analysis of data from over 12,000 high school students in Australia. The study found that students who played online games almost every day scored 15 points above average in maths and reading tests and 17 points above average in science. However, the study’s methodology cannot prove that playing video games were the cause of the improvement.

Iran is First Country to Ban Pokemon Go

Good luck trying to catch 'em all in Iran. The country's High Council of Virtual Spaces has officially banned the Pokemon Go app, making Iran the first country to do so. As for why, High Council of Virtual Spaces wasn't very specific. The BBC reported that the High Council claimed the game caused "security concerns," but it neglected to elaborate on what those were. We have our guesses, though. Pokemon Go can encourage players to get creative with their sleuthing at all hours of the night, which can prove troublesome.
