Google Glass issued to Dubai detectives

Google Glass is one of the most popular wearables on the market at the moment, and even though it’s an ostracized device, it remains one of the most advanced pieces of technology on the wearable market. Many think of Google Glass as a spying device and fear that Glass users might be recording them without their knowledge because of the built-in camera. Even though people are split in opinions about Google Glass, the wearable is popular enough to become standard gear for law enforcement. It seems that not everybody feels threatened by Google Glass, especially not Dubai officials, since the government will be issuing Google Glass devices to Dubai detectives in the following weeks.
Google Glass will become standard gear for detectives in Dubai, so that it can help them communicate with each other easily and keep their hands free during investigations. Google Glass will also allow detectives to take pictures and videos of crime-scenes in a timely manner and immediately upload them to their phones, and then to the servers of Dubai authorities. The true reason why Dubai authorities decided to make Google Glass standard gear is because it will feature facial recognition software provided by law enforcement. Google Glass will also be used to track traffic violators based on their plates and licenses. Although Dubai has been known to exaggerate a bit when it comes to law enforcement technology, Google Glass isn’t such an odd addition to their gear because I’m sure it will offer helpful features.
Dubai authorities are known for their plan to equip law enforcement officers with Lamborghini cars so that they could keep up with escaping felons. Dubai is known to spare little when it comes to the country’s security and it seems that authorities are doing just that, because Google Glass has a whopping $1500 price tag. We don’t know what kind of partnership there is (or isn’t) between Google and Dubai authorities, but we’re fairly certain that the country is probably not paying full price for the wearable. It seems that a pilot testing program for Google Glass has been completed in Dubai and the devices will soon be sent out to detectives all around the country.

If Not Already Clear, Elder Scrolls 6 Will Skip PlayStation

Despite Microsoft’s acquisition of Bethesda, The Elder Scrolls 6 was not confirmed as an Xbox exclusive a few months ago. This happened because Xbox executive Phil Spencer indicated that target platforms hadn’t been selected yet, but it always felt like he was talking about the game being years away rather than the RPG being on PlayStation.
If you’re still holding out, Microsoft plans to release The Elder Scrolls 6 just on Xbox and PC. Documents from the company’s FTC lawsuit were recently released. In the document, Bethesda’s announced titles (both as a publisher and developer) are listed, and The Elder Scrolls 6 is listed for Xbox, PC, and nothing else.
We expected this, but The Elder Scrolls 6 was announced before Microsoft acquired its developer. The Elder Scrolls is a beloved franchise that’s been on various platforms for generations, so this isn’t Starfield.
However, the game isn’t due until 2026 at the earliest, according to the paper, and who knows what the gaming landscape will be like then.

Xbox Nearly Flashed Warner Bros Cash, Sees Nintendo as Holy Grail

Xbox CEO Phil Spencer’s mid-2020 dystopian email suggests the business was interested in buying Warner Bros Interactive and Bethesda. Even more alarming, the CEO calls buying Nintendo a “career moment” and “good for both companies” — and there are even rumors that Microsoft was interested in Valve.
While Spencer warns that acquiring Nintendo would be “hostile action” but “playing the long game”, the unprecedented corporate convergence is shockingly casual. He added: “Nintendo is taking a long time to realize their future is off their hardware. A long time… He even ended the chat with a smiling emoji to make it look more evil.
Spencer claims that Warner Bros Interactive was “gettable” when Microsoft was rumored to acquire it. He adds that “we wouldn’t own any of the IP which hurts long-term flexibility”. Because most Warner Bros Interactive developers work on franchises like Batman, Harry Potter, and others, the studios are worth little without the brands.
The email is over three years old, but it reveals Microsoft’s blasé approach to acquisitions and its goals. While its eventual acquisition of Activision Blizzard may have changed its plans, this leaked exchange suggests that Microsoft will not stop until it has absorbed as much of the industry as possible, even targeting Nintendo.

Stig Asmussen Leaving Respawn for Galaxies Unknown

Jedi: Fallen Order and Jedi: Survivor director Stig Asmussen is leaving Respawn Entertainment for unknown reasons. Asmussen had planned a trilogy for Cal Kestis, but it appears another author will need to write it.
Bloomberg reports that an EA spokesperson said: “Stig Asmussen has left Respawn to pursue other adventures, and we wish him the best. Veteran Respawn leaders will lead Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.”
This move is surprising, but Asmussen leaves on a high note. Jedi: Survivor is a great game despite its performance issues, which is rare for a Star Wars game. We’ll see where Asmussen goes, but we’re excited.
