Fantastic news: Doctor Who will run for at least 5 more years
To be honest, I started watching Doctor Who because a friend suggested it and I wasn’t caught in on it at first, but after the 10th episode I could not stop. I’ve managed to watch 6 seasons in a week and started waiting for new seasons to appear. Fortunately, now one of the best TV-Series seems to make us dwell into the wonders of space and time, for at least 5 more years.
Stephen Moffat said that even if the show has fallen in ratings, Peter Capaldi who is already playing his second season as Doctor Who and is the Twelfth Doctor, will still be in the next season of Doctor Who. Capaldi said in an interview that the show will surely last for at least 5 more years, it is after all a legend TV-Show. As for Capaldi playing the role of Doctor Who, all we know is that he will be The Doctor next season, but for the next 5 years, we can still expect another “regeneration”.
“Doctor Who is the all-time perfectly evolved television show. It’s a television predator designed to survive any environment because you can replace absolutely everybody. Most shows you can’t do that with. Most shows have a built-in mortality.”
Even if the show has dropped in ratings in UK, in US the last season’s premiere scored the highest rating of all seasons. I think that all Doctor Who fans should start watching the show again, who doesn’t want to see a man in a blue, flying police phone box traveling the universe and doing good wherever he lands?
A PS5 firmware update on a cold winter morning is unmatched. The latest PS5 system software update is 23.02–08.40.00 from Sony. Does this one add useful features or just boost system performance?
Though closer to the latter, it’s more than Sony’s favorite patch note. It fixes security issues, improves messages and usability, and boosts system software performance. Official patch notes for this 1.185GB update:
- We updated system software security
- We improved system software stability and performance
- Some screens now have better messages and usability
That’s it. PS5 gets another win to recover from its midweek slump. Do you share our enthusiasm for this firmware update? Comment below. To spice things up, make your comment rhyme.
New World Interactive, the developer of the Insurgency series of tactical first-person shooters, has laid off an unknown number of employees as part of Embracer Group’s comprehensive restructuring plan.
Saber Interactive, which acquired New World in 2020, told Eurogamer that the studio had not closed. However, it confirmed an unknown number of layoffs.
Embracer says it is “actively working to fill existing open roles” with impacted employees and will provide severance packages. “Saber also assures that development will continue on Insurgency: Sandstorm, as well as on unannounced future projects,” it said.
Over 900 employees were laid off in an “agonizing” but “necessary” process. As always, we hope all victims recover.
Sony wants non-console owners to access its content beyond its PlayStation-walled garden. This strategy has been slowly implemented: the company has commissioned TV and movie adaptations of its biggest franchises, ported select software to the PC, and launched a mobile gaming division.
In an interview with Nikkei, head Hideaki Nishino explained how this strategy can boost console sales: We want to use movies and dramas to get non-gamers to try PlayStation games. Sales of The Last of Us increased during the live-action drama.
When HBO’s adaptation aired, our The Last of Us content skyrocketed, so we can understand its impact. As a PlayStation fan site, we support this strategy because we want to reach as many people as possible, so if Sony can appeal to non-console owners, that’s a win-win.
More PlayStation users is better, in our opinion.
