The classic PC RPG Planescape Torment is coming to Android

In 1999, developer Black Isle Games and publisher Interplay released Planescape: Torment, a Dungeons & Dragons-based fantasy RPG. The game has since become a critically acclaimed cult classic of the genre. Today, developer Beamdog has announced plans to release Planescape: Torment Enhanced Edition. This revamp of the game will be launched on April 11 for the PC, Mac and Linux, and for the first time on Android and iOS devices.
Beamdog has lots of experience with this kind of game. It previously released enhanced versions of Baldur’s Gate I and II, along with Icewind Dale, all of which used BioWare’s Infinity Engine, which is also the basis for Planescape: Torment. For this new release, Chris Avellone, the game’s original lead designer, worked with Beamdog to help them develop gameplay updates, bug fixes, and enhancements so it should work well on modern PCs and mobile devices.
Planescape: Torment Enhanced Edition will include a revamped interface with support for 4K screens, along with some extra gameplay features like tab highlighting, area zooming, a combat log, quickloot, and others. It will also feature a remastered music score. There doesn’t appear to be any new content added to this game, so if you have played it before you won’t be getting any new campaign features, but it’s still nice that this kind of a hardcore RPG is making its way to Android.
The game will be released in the Google Play Store for the one-time only price of $9.99. What other great classic PC RPGs would you like to see ported to Android? Let us know in the comments!

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we

According to a report by  SamMobile , the two late-2019 Samsung flagships are receiving the Android 10 update in Germany, although the rollout is limited to a small group of beta testers. This stable release follows a  five-round beta testing  that concluded just a couple of days ago. Samsung is rolling out the stable build only to its beta testers in Germany to possibly look out for any major bug. Besides SamMobile, the confirmation also comes from  some Redditors  who got the update in Germany just a few hours back. The same Reddit users also mention that Google Pay remains broken even after installing this final Android 10 firmware, although it wasn’t immediately clear how widespread the issue is. The Android 10-bas
