Motion sensing hardware to break away from Xbox One
The next-gen iteration of Kinect will be released for Windows PC, Microsoft’s corporate VP of interactive entertainment business has said.
Confirming the news to Polygon, Ben Kilgore said the Kinect would be made compatible with PCs, and would be released for the platform “at some point down the line”.
The new motion sensing hardware is set to play a key and central role in Microsoft’s newly unveiled Xbox One console.
During last night’s reveal, Microsoft said the device will now be able to sense even the slightest rotation of a wrist or shoulder, as well as shifts in balance and transfer of weight.
It claimed the Kinect could detect a player’s emotional state, read their heartbeat, recognise specific users and would be able to transfer 2GB of data per second in 1080p.

 NVIDIA's Tegra 4i appeared in February boasting, amongst other things, its built-in Cat. 3 LTE modem capable of speeds as high as 100Mbps. What NVIDIA didn't make obvious at the time was that the i500 modem, the fruit of its Icera acquisition, had the processing grunt to enable a software modem update to boost its speed to Cat. 4 LTE (150Mbps.) We had a quick visit with NVIDIA and saw a "perfect world demo" (pic above) of the device being bombarded at 150Mbps as well as placing an actual call on AT&T's network and streaming video. Of course LTE-Advanced doesn't exist in the real world yet, nor does a real handset sporting this chip, though seeing another player battling incumbent Qualcomm in this space before these networks have even been lit up certainly warms our hearts. Check the PR text for all the nitty gritty details after the break.

A reimagining of 1997's Shadow Warrior has been announced for PC and next-gen consoles.
Poland based Hard Reset studio Flying Wild Hog is handling the resurrection of 3D Realms' 1997 FPS. The studio said in a post on itsFacebook page:
"Our next project is finally revealed, we're working on a total reimagining of Shadow Warrior with [publisher] Devolver Digital."
An official website for the game has been launched, along with the following teaser trailer.
Shadow Warrior
In our 8/10 Shadow Warrior review, we said the game is "a Doom-style slaughter em 'up starring a character named Lo Wang, who is essentially Duke Nukem with a sword, some darts, and a vastly expanded pool of catch phrases".
Flying Wild Hog was formed in 2011, when it consisted of developers and designers who previously worked at the likes of People Can Fly, CD Projekt RED and City Interactive.
Its debut project, PC exclusive cyberpunk FPS Hard Reset, holds a 73Metascore.

On top of yesterday's 4K announcement, Samsung has also given us a quick heads-up on one of the prototype displays it's planning to show off at this year's Display Week event. It's a highly gawp-worthy 3,200 x 1,800 ("WQXGA+") panel destined for 13-inch laptops that insist on taking things further than the Retina MacBook Pro (2,560 x 1,600) or Samsung's Series 9 prototype (2,560 x 1,440, shown above). As an added advantage, the panel is promised to deliver "30 percent greater power-savings" compared to existing LCDs thanks to a reduction in the number of driver circuits as well as more efficient backlight units. Display Week starts today, so we should soon have a first-person account of this unheard-of pixel density straight from Samsung's stall.

Ever heard of 5Lives Studios? No, us neither. But come next month that will very likely have changed.
A video posted online by the studio very much seems to suggest that a Syndicate reboot (or more likely a ‘spiritual successor’) is heading to Kickstarter this month.
Rock Paper Shotgun speculates that the former Bullfrog developer pictured in the short is Mike Diskett. He was one of the original creators of the Syndicate franchise but is also credited on titles such as Grand Theft Auto IV, Theme Park and Urban Chaos.
Syndicate, of course, was the recipient of a surprisingly decent FPS release from EA last year. But we all know that isn’t the release that fans of the game are waiting for.
Gamers are encouraged to keep their eyes on the game’s official site. You can also visit thedeveloper’s website, although there’s little in the way of information there.

This time last year, YouTube claimed 72 hours of video was uploaded to the site each minute. Now, at the grand old age of eight, the clip streaming site says more than 100 hours of video footage is uploaded every 60 seconds, equivalent to over four days worth of content.
YouTube blogged: "Every month, more than one billion people come to YouTube to access news, answer questions and have a little fun. That’s almost one out of every two people on the internet.
"Millions of partners are creating content for YouTube and more than 1,000 companies worldwide have mandated a one-hour mid-day break to watch nothing but funny YouTube videos. Well, we made that last stat up, but that would be cool (the other stats are true)."
The milestone follows YouTube's recent move to start charging users subscription fees to view content.

Though Mozilla has long been a proponent of WebRTC for plugin-free video and voice chat, it hasn't been ready to enable the full protocol in Firefox as a matter of course. It's more confident as of this week: the newly available Firefox 22 beta turns on complete WebRTC use by default, allowing for both live web conversations and peer-to-peer file swaps. There's more to the release as well, depending on the platform. Windows users receive support for HiDPI displays, like that of the Kirabook; every desktop user also gets gaming-friendly OdinMonkey JavaScript tuning, a web notification API and a font inspector. Android users won't have WebRTC and other upgrades for now, but everyone can experiment with the latest Firefox beta at the source links.

Two big titles from the Japanese games development scene are being converted for PC.
In separate announcements Square Enix revealed that 1998 release Final Fantasy VIII is to get an HD rework and re-release on PC. The same happened with its popular predecessor Final Fantasy VII last year.
Perhaps more excitingly Platinum Games has announced plans to bring Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance to PC.
This is great for two reasons. Firstly, too many of the Metal Gear games aren’t available on PC, so more releases are always welcomed. More importantly though the release will mark the debut of Platinum on the PC platform.
Could this mean there’s a chance of titles such as Bayonetta and Vanquish making the jump to Windows?
All of this points to a change of attitude for many Japanese developers who have typically either shunned the idea of PC releases or else not impressed with the quality of their ports. Dark Souls immediately springs to mind.

"The release candidate for the much-anticipated Linux Mint 15 'Olivia' is available for user testing. Its many new features include Cinnamon Control center, an improved login manager with HTML 5 support, a driver manager, and a lot of under-the-hood improvements. 'A new tool called MintSources, aka "Software Sources," was developed from scratch with derivative distributions in mind (primarily Linux Mint, but also LMDE, Netrunner and Snow Linux). It replaces software-properties-gtk and is perfectly adapted to managing software sources in Linux Mint. From the main screen you can easily enable or disable optional components and gain access to backports, unstable packages and source code.' This release with Cinnamon looks really tempting."

Microsoft has revealed pricing of the Surface Pro tablet ahead of its UK debut on May 23rd.
Redmond confirmed that Brits will be able to get their hands on the 64GB Surface Pro for £719, whilst those eyeing the 128GB model should expect to hand over £799.
The Surface Pro will enter a competitive UK tablet market, which continues to be dominated by Apple's iPad devices.
In comparison, Apple's top-end iPad is priced at £639 and sports its trademark Retina Display, along with 128GB of storage.
Despite outpacing the top iPad by 25 per cent, Microsoft maintains that the Surface Pro is a more complete solution than Apple's slate – a statement reiterated by Canalys analyst Tim Coulling.
"It runs on a Windows 8 operating system so there is access to legacy applications and that is why it's priced higher than the iPad. Microsoft wants customers to pay a premium for a full Windows experience," Coulling told The Channel.
"The vast majority of business people use an iPad and a notebook, so it will probably be cheaper to have one Surface Pro when they upgrade devices. IT managers will look to replace iPad with Pro because the OS is easier to manage and is familiar."
In addition to running the full Windows 8 operating system, over the RT edition used by the Surface RT, the Pro also offers the added benefit of far superior hardware.
The Pro packs a dual-core i5 processor clocked at 1.7GHz, 4GB of DDR3 RAM and 128GB of SSD storage, which along with its use of the full Windows 8 OS, could see the Pro viewed by some as a viable gaming system.

Nvidia is reportedly ready to release its GTX 780 card as soon as next week.
As claimed by Fudzilla, 'multiple sources' have confirmed that Nvidia will launch the new card on May 23rd, with third-party editions of the GPU expected to follow in subsequent weeks.
The report joins the seemingly endless speculation of the card, particularly its pricing and performance aspects.
Early speculation indicated that the GTX 780, whilst based on the same architecture as Nvidia's flagship Titan GPU, it won't provide the vast performance upgrade over its predecessor, the GT 680, that many were hoping for.
As for pricing, it's been widely reported that the card would be priced between £400 and £500 for Nvidia's reference GTX 780.
Meanwhile, third-party editions, which traditionally are overclocked whilst carrying additional features, could debut with a price tag between £500 and £600.
