PS5 Game Sizes Get Revealed and You Might Need External Storage

The PS5 game sizes have been revealed, and yes, they do have the tendency to chew through SSD storage at a superfast speed. The 825GB SSD storage of the PS5 might be blazing fast, but it will most probably fill up with some installs of the games that are coming soon.

Till now there are not many of the install sizes announced for the upcoming games, but the ones that have been announced include:

The Demon’s Souls remake will have an install size of over 66GB.

The Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Launch Edition, would have an install size of 105GB. Even, if you install only Spider-Man: Miles Morales, it would be consuming over 50GB of your PS5’s SSD space.

The console games are getting more significant year after year and so have the storage for games consoles. The storage on the gaming consoles have increased too, as the Xbox One X and the PS4 Pro comes with 1TB of storage.

But, even if the PS5 comes with a superfast SSD, it has less storage compared to that of the PS4 Pro. And it looks like with the large game install size; players will not be installing the large game libraries on PS5 consoles until Sony comes out with some sort of data compression techniques.

So, the PS5 storage will have an off-the-shell expandable SSD storage. But these should be PCIe 4.0 SSDs, and Sony certified. However, none of them is available right now. Like the expandable storage for Xbox Series X, the PS5 expandable SSD storages would be costing a good amount.

Storage Consumption

The installation of Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Launch Edition would be taking over 13 percent of the SSD storage of the PS5. If more games would be consuming this much storage, then this will be bad news for the PS5 SSD storage. Like the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Season 4 comes with a massive install size, alongside many other games.

However, this would be a very minimal problem if you have a robust broadband connection for downloading massive games and that too in an expected amount of time. But if your connection is slower, then you will require a significant amount of time and patience for playing the next-generation games.

Compared to the PS5, the Xbox Series X would be coming with a 1TB SSD, but it will also get filled up quickly if the games come up with large install sizes.

However, what is the situation of these next-generation gaming consoles, would more effectively be figured out when they launch in November.

The Xbox Series X is all set to launch worldwide on November 10; however, the PS5 would be launching in the US and other regions on November 12, while the countries like U.K., Europe, and others will have to wait till November 19. Pre-orders are currently live for PS5, Xbox Series X and Series S, but their stocks are selling out at lightning speed. So, if you want to order any one of them, then don’t think for the second time, just order it quickly while they are in stock. Otherwise, you will have to wait for them to arrive again.

No Demo for FIFA 21, Still There Is a Lot to Wait for

FIFA 21 is one of the most awaited games of 2020, as the previous versions have been a huge hit. However, in their latest tweet, Electronic Arts announced that they would not be releasing a FIFA 21 demo this year as they want their team to be focusing on delivering the best full game experience. EA made the announcement from their official Twitter account where they also declared that they would be launching FIFA 21 on 9th October, and their team is working hard for it. The release of FIFA 21 is delayed due to the pandemic. Earlier it was expected to be launching in September.

FIFA 21 is expected to be one of the best offerings from Electronic Arts. FIFA 21 will be available in three different editions where Standard edition costs $59.99, the Champions edition costs $79.99 and the Ultimate edition will be coming for $99.99. There are obvious differences in players and kits among all these three editions. FIFA 21 will be available across all the current generation major gaming consoles including the PS4 and Xbox one, as well as the next-gen consoles, the PS5, and the Xbox series X. 

The skipping demo from FIFA 21 has received mixed reactions from the fans. Many fans are disappointed as EA breaks its tradition of releasing demos. They believe that there is not much that developers can add to the full game experience by saving the time of not releasing a demo. However, some fans are not bothered by FIFA not releasing a demo. They say that is not a big deal and it will save some time for them playing against AI. They believe that EA is going to add some more exciting features to the game by saving the time of releasing a demo. The release of FIFA 21 in October is going to be more special as PES 2021 is already here and EA is certainly preparing to beat this game.

It is expected that in FIFA 21, EA will be making some improvements in gameplay and career mode than the previous versions. FIFA 21 is going to come with the ‘Quick Sim’ option which will allow players to jump in and out of the game and influence the direction of the season. There is also going to be a new Active Training System to improve the skills and capabilities of the players, and it will be useful as the opposition AI has also been improved. The game is also going to have better controller haptics, lighting system, audio, and off-ball humanization for the better experience of playing the game. There will be new attacking systems like Agile Dribbling, Positioning Personality, and Creative Runs to enhance the immersive experience of playing.

There is a lot that can be expected from FIFA 21, and now as EA has officially announced the release date of the game, it is becoming difficult for fans to keep up their excitement, even if there are going to be few changes.

Nintendo Removes Harv’s Fences and Many Other Items From Animal Crossing: New Horizons

The fall update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons has gone live now. The purpose of the update was to introduce a Halloween event in the game, and now when the update is live, the players can grow pumpkins, collect candy, do Halloween decorations with pumpkins and wear scary Halloween costumes in the game. Amazing, right? However, with the release of this new update, Nintendo has also removed some hacked items from the game.

With the new update, Nintendo has removed Harv’s fence and many other hacked items from the game. So, if you are someone who has decorated his island with these items, then all your items have been removed now thanks to the new fall update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons. For a long time, Harv’s fence was the most popular hacked item in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Officially it was never meant to be accessible by the players. However, few hackers made that possible (made Harv’s fence accessible) and started selling stacks to the players in the game. But not anymore, thanks to Nintendo.

Although items like Harv’s fence never gave any advantage to the players in the game, these items are still popular among the players in the game. However, you can still keep these items on your island only if you don’t update the game.  But you will not be able to participate in the Halloween event, which means you can’t grow pumpkins, do Halloween decoration, collect candy, etc. in the game. It appears that Nintendo is all set to remove all the hacked items from the game, and it might just be a matter of time when these items become history.

Additionally, some players have been reporting problems/issues with the game’s villager posters after the new fall update. Many players are saying that after updating the game, they are unable to access/purchase posters (villager posters) from the catalog in the game.  What does this mean?  It means you can no longer buy posters for yourself from the catalog in the game.

However, it’s worth mentioning that Nintendo is all set to bring back Animal Crossing amiibo cards/Animal Crossing cards for the players. These cards come with a price tag of $ 5.99 and will allow players to collect villager posters in the game. Coincidence? Well, we don’t think so.

Our View

With the fall update now, players can now grow pumpkins, do Halloween decorations, collect candies, wear Halloween costumes in the game. But some players are not that happy with the update because it has removed many hacked items from Animal Crossing: New Horizons.  Besides this, it appears to us that Nintendo might be gearing up to remove all the other items from the game too. But will it really happen? Well, only time will tell whether this happens or not.

The 100 Recap: Crucial Instances When Clarke and Bellamy Teamed Up

Two protagonists of the post-apocalyptic CW drama series “The 100” weren’t exactly like best buddies all the time. In fact, they started out as rivals before becoming pals. They have been through landslides after landslides, and the dynamics of their relationship is a work of art. They can understand each other, they can fight against each other; and when the time is generous towards them, they can make each other win.

But one thing is a certainty-when their skills and courage are combined, the duo is unbeatable.

So, here are the instances when the two hearts of the story Clarke Griffin (played by Eliza Taylor) and Bellamy Blake (played by Bob Morley) teamed up together big time.

The Force that Binds Them all

At the end of the season, we see the duo at the peak of their leadership, especially when they join hands to keep Grounders away from the delinquents. The duo forget their differences after the death of Charlotte and agree that both of their priorities converge on the point that leads to the safety and unity of the survivors.

At the end of the season, the duo helps the “100” in understanding each other and in realizing that their best interest is in helping each other.

Destroying the Cruelty of A.L.I.E.

It was high time, and Clarke and Bellamy had to forget about their conflict involving Pike and Lexa. A.L.I.E. was becoming mighty powerful at the end of Season 3 because Jaha had been providing her with chips that gave her superpower to gain control of everyone’s mind.

With all the hope dying away and everyone coming under the grip of A.L.I.E. It was Clarke, Bellamy, Octavia, Raven, and Monty that came together to form a defying resistance against the menacing cruelty.

The final blow was given by Clarke when she confronted A.L.I.E. on the Flame and on the City of Light. Bellamy stood his ground in reality, protecting Clarke’s body.

Rescuing 47 from Mount Weather

When Clarke and Bellamy found out the reality about Mount Weather and the horror behind the scenes, they became petrified. Being heroes of the world, they couldn’t tolerate the fact that grounders were being locked up in their cages and were drained of their blood. So, both of them formulated a plan, the first step of it was for Bellamy to get inside Mount Weather as an inside man.

They talked to each other on the radio during the entire mission, but their clever understanding of the situation becomes clear at the end when they don’t dispute on whether or not they should pull the trigger.

Praimfaya Apocalypse

The duo again showed maturity and showed that they do not possess any stupid ego in the face of impending danger. Clarke and Bellamy become acquaintances once again, forgiving each other’s past mistakes and quickly sets upon on their quest for survival against an apocalyptic Praimfaya.

Furthermore, the possibility of a conflict was less because everyone understood that if they don’t work together, Praimfaya will kill them all.

Monty’s Final Words

At the end of Season 6, Monty said his goodbye to Clarke, Bellamy and the rest of the group and wished that all of them would do better in the future.

Despite the duo’s die-trying efforts, people were still dying, and the group was getting thinner and thinner. The message compels the duo to look each other in the eye and feel the helplessness that is pervading between them. They couldn’t help but ask themselves-‘are they doing better?’

All the seven seasons are currently available to view on Netflix.

Six Methods To Get Organic Traffic Without Ranking

Ranking your website is one of the most preferred ways to make your website appear on the Google search engine result page. But there are so many ways to attract organic traffic without ranking your website. However, it is challenging to get organic traffic without ranking, but it’s not impossible.

In this article, we will mention six methods by which you can attract organic traffic to your website without ranking:

Promote Your Video Content Via YouTube

Video content is one of the most engaging forms of content on the Internet. Video content keeps your audience in their comfort zone. Nowadays, people are more interested in watching a video rather than read a long body of the text. Video content allows you to convey your message the way you want. Video content holds a massive capability of driving organic traffic to your website. When you put your video content on YouTube, you attract a lot of traffic to your website. As Google owns YouTube, any downgrade on Google ranking will not affect the traffic you are getting from YouTube. Other than YouTube, you can also promote your content via press releases to drive more traffic. Sending promotional emails whenever you upload a new video can also help significantly to drive organic traffic.

Blog Commenting

Blog commenting is a great way to exchange ideas, thoughts, and opinions between bloggers and blog readers. Blog comments attract a significant amount of traffic and make your content viral. Blog comments drive the exchange of information between the user and the author. With blog comments, you get a lot of backlinks and traffic on your website. One of the proper ways to do blog commenting is to read the post thoroughly and leave a comment if you have something useful or meaningful to say. If you have some content on your website related to the post, then use the URL link of that post rather than the home page.

Content Aggregators

Content aggregation means collecting all the information on any topic for one or more related keywords. To get the advantage of content aggregator sites, just create good content for your website and list your content on these sites. By listing your content on content aggregator sites, you attract a significant amount of traffic on your website. It is one of the great ways to promote your content indirectly. But before listing your content, make sure you adhere to the rules and submit your content to the related sites only.

LinkedIn

LinkedIn is the most underrated platform to promote your content. LinkedIn is one of the most transparent platforms to build professional networks and share your content with your target audience. You can share relevant and high-quality content on LinkedIn and provide links that can redirect visitors to your website. Other than textual content, you can also post graphical content to attract more eyeballs. Make sure you use relevant hashtags in your content. As LinkedIn is a professional networking platform, you might end up with some quality traffic to your website.

Create Audio-Based Content

As we mentioned earlier, nowadays, people are not very much inclined towards reading a long body of the text. Creating audio-based content like podcasts can attract a tremendous amount of traffic to your website. A podcast is a fun, light-hearted, and an engaging way to communicate your message to your audience. Podcasts are a more mobile-friendly and more convenient option for users who prefer audio-based content. A podcast is a great way to build a loyal community as podcasts audiences are very passionate about their industry.

Email

Sharing your content via email is one of the most preferred ways to attract organic traffic to your website. You can use various email services to manage your mailing list and execute campaigns. Email marketing holds a whooping 3.34% success rate compared to other mediums. Just make sure to use an attractive subject line that prompts your audience to read your content. You can see your traffic via Google Analytics.

Conclusion

It takes a lot of time and patience to attract an organic audience to your website. Building links is one of the most preferred ways to drive traffic, but you can also attract organic traffic via other mediums. The six options, as mentioned above, are great ways if you want to attract organic traffic other than building links.
