Samsung and Xbox partner for cloud gaming, announce Forza Street for Galaxy devices


Is this the future of Project xCloud?

 Samsung on Tuesday finally revealed details of its new flagship phone, the Galaxy S20, and its next folding device, the Galaxy Z Flip, at its Unpacked event. The Korean tech giant also talked up partnerships with companies such as Google, Netflix and, on the gaming front, Microsoft. 

 David Park, Samsung's director of strategy, said on stage that the company is working with Xbox on a "premium cloud-based game streaming experience." Park didn't offer any other details, just saying more would be revealed in the future. 
Microsoft is currently previewing its own game streaming service, Project xCloud. The cloud streaming service is expected to tie-in with Microsoft's upcoming game console, the Xbox Series X, that comes out later in 2020.

 Samsung didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on the partnership, but Microsoft said they're looking forward to sharing more about service later this year. 

 "We believe players around the world should have access to great, high-quality games on the device of their choice," a Microsoft spokesperson said via email Tuesday. "Working with partners like Samsung is an important step in our Project xCloud journey and will help make game streaming more accessible for gamers. We look forward to sharing more later this year." 
Along with the announcement of a partnership, Park revealed Microsoft's Forza Street will come to Galaxy devices. The racing game was originally released last year to Windows 10 computers. Those interested can pre-register for the game on the Galaxy Store or Google Play.

Want to get lost in some amazing stories? Gameplay may be the defining characteristic of a great game but it’s the story that keeps you coming back for more.

The ranking includes everything from small scale indies to the biggest and best of the AAA sphere, from walking simulators to open world action games. Note:  remakes and remasters have been omitted from this list, as have games from previous generations that have since been ported over. 20. BATMAN: ARKHAM KNIGHT Arkham Knight Developer:  Rocksteady Publisher:  WB Games While Batman: Arkham Knight may not be the best of the Rocksteady Batman games, it is still home to a compelling narrative and some wonderful moments for the Caped Crusader.

 The huge Yakuza 5 arrives remastered and closes the trilogy The Yakuza Remastered Collection on PS4, a console that already has all the main saga.      With Yakuza 5 Remastered , Sega brings the entire main series to PlayStation 4, from the prequel Yakuza 0 to the airs of change that Yakuza brings : Like a Dragon , which we will talk more about this year.

We only miss the spin-offs , but few apologies remain to discover this saga of brawler action and touches of role. Yakuza 5 arrived in the final stretch of PlayStation 3, in Japan in 2012.

I don't want to tell you how to play exactly, I want to explain and give you map and compass so you can start your own adventure. How to Start Set Up for Survive So... starting the game asks you to create a profile. Each profile gives you 2 random Gods, and 2 God points so if you don't like the ones you get on the beggining you can just create new profile. The last two Gods you can unlock for free by completing game objective, while other gods you can unlock by spending god points. Be carefull, The more gods you unlock the more points it will take to unlock another one.
