If you were eagerly waiting for the opportunity to reserve a Samsung Galaxy Note 4, you’re in luck because AT&T and Verizon have made the device available for pre-order today. Verizon is offering Samsung’s latest flagship smartphone for $299 on a two-year contract or you can opt it for the carrier’s Verizon Edge payment plan, which costs $34 a month. Alternatively, you can just outright buy it for the price of $699 and save yourself the trouble of dealing with contracts or payment plans. The AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4 can also be purchased for $299 on a two-year contract, or for $34.42 with AT&T Next 18 and $41.30 with AT&T Next 12. Interestingly enough, buying a contract-free Samsung Galaxy Note 4 from AT&T will cost you $825.99, quite a bit more that the price listed by Verizon for some reason.

As for the device itself, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 comes equipped with a very impressive 5.7-inch Super AMOLED display complete with 1440 x 2560 resolution and 518 pixel density. A lot of people are saying that this is the best display ever seen on a smartphone, but while this is still debatable, there are indeed very few who can match it in terms of quality. However, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is not only about beauty because the device comes with a pretty impressive set of specs as well. A quick peak under the hood reveals a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 quad-core processor running at 2.7 GHz and featuring 3 GB of RAM and an Adreno 420 GPU. The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 also offers a 16 MP primary camera, a massive 3,220 mAh battery and 32GB of internal storage memory, which can be further expanded up to 128 GB via a microSD card.

This fourth generation Note device runs on Android 4.4.4 KitKat straight out of the box and will presumably upgrade to Android L in due time after Google releases the final build. We mentioned that you can reserve the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 starting today at Verizon or AT&T, but it will also become available for pre-order at Sprint and T-Mobile at the end of the month. Verizon will start shipping the device by October 23rd while AT&T is a bit faster and will start shipping by October 14th.

Fans of Final Fantasy have been disputing for decades over a variety of topics, such as whether game VIII is the finest or which one contains the best minigames. But something fresh has the community in a tizzy, and this time it’s a 19-second trailer for the upcoming Final Fantasy XVI that’s energizing fans along with the reappearance of certain well-worn and recognizable talking points.

If it weren’t for the fissure that protagonist Clive skillfully navigates in the video, this narrative might have been about Torgal, a great canine companion. That’s right, we have returned to the discussion of the Squeeze Gap, the most heinous error in game design (in the eyes of some fans).

Others pointed out that you can see through the gap that this is an intentional design choice and does not, in fact, hide a loading screen. In the colorful comments section of the aforementioned Tweet, some people complained about the inclusion of yet another Squeeze Gap on current-gen PCs.If you have nothing better to do, follow us down the rabbit hole of quote-retweets.

Sincerity be damned, we don’t really care either way, but it is odd for Square Enix to release an official promo for a highly anticipated game that shows half of a character squirming through a small space.As always, the music is spot on; praise where praise is due. On June 22, Final Fantasy XVI will debut for PlayStation 5.

What do you think of the squeeze gaps generally and the squeezegate incident specifically?

Sony was named the top video game publisher of 2022 by Metacritic

In order to decide which publisher published the best games, Metacritic calculates ratings for all the games that were released in the previous calendar year. The website that collects review ratings for all popular media has done the math, and Sony Interactive Entertainment came out on top for 2022.

Yes, Sony’s first-party initiatives from the previous year allowed it to “no issue” claim the top spot on Metacritic’s list. The 2022 release schedule for the platform holder averaged 85.6 points overall, with all of its PC ports scoring in the website’s “green score” range.

The business did indeed have a successful year in 2017. We had a fantastic trio of original games: God of War Ragnarok, Gran Turismo 7, and Horizon Forbidden West, all of which were of very high caliber. But in addition to that, the firm also launched The Last of Us: Part I and a number of PC ports, including God of War, Marvel’s Spider-Man, and Uncharted: The Legacy of Thieves Collection, all of which received positive reviews from critics. MLB The Show 22 had the lowest metascore of any Sony game last year, according to Metacritic, but it still earned a respectable 77.

According to Metacritic, these are the top 10 publishers for 2022:
