What happened not too long ago with Electronic Arts and its Origin platform appears to be happening with Ubisoft too. As Kotaku has noticed, Ubisoft’s trio of tentpole releases for this fall — Assassin’s Creed Unity, Far Cry 4 and The Crew — are no longer available on Valve’s game store, seemingly disappearing overnight. Curiously, older entries in each respective franchise are still available (and reasonably priced) on Gabe Newell’s one-stop PC-gaming shop. Even weirder yet? VG247 has spotted that ACU and FC4 are now listed on Origin. No, it doesn’t make a lot of sense especially considering Ubisoft has its own digital storefront. We’ve pinged the outfit’s PR team for details about what’s up and will update this post should we hear back.
This is a dynamic youtube advertisement from the UK for the new Honda Civic type R. As you watch the video repeatedly hit the ‘R’ key on your keyboard to alternate personalities between a vigilante wheel man and an everyday dad. Good luck and hold on.
Hendo is introducing the world’s first REAL hoverboard and hover developer kit. We are putting hover technology in YOUR hands.
So where does the HENDO hoverboard stand today? Well, about 1 inch off the ground. As you can see from the video above, the prototype is real and it works! But to see it hover in person, and better yet, to defy gravity by riding it, is something you need to experience as well.
With the support of the Kickstarter community, we all can. We need your help to put the finishing touches on the Hendo Hoverboard, to help us produce them, and to create places to ride them.
Ok, so you can’t shred a halfpipe with one of these, but you can still show your support for Hendo with one of our Betaboards instead. The Betaboard is a smaller version of our hoverboard that floats on a magnetic base. It uses a a different type of levitation than our technology, based on electromagnetic stabilization. It cannot be moved around too quickly and needs to stay plugged in, but it’s perfect for any desk and makes a great gift!
