One of the fun and very useful options of GoPro‘s HERO 8 Black, MAX, and HERO 7 Black cameras is their ability to live stream via the GoPro smartphone app. Currently, the GoPro app can stream to Facebook, Youtube, Twitch, Vimeo, and several other video services. They can even give you reaction and engagement info while you’re streaming. You can checkout their full rundown of how to do it at their official blog as well as the video below.
Best of all about this announcement is that the GoPro app can be updated as needed to add new functionality down the road. You’re not locked into just one featureset – also, they can roll out app updates right through the respective phone’s app store.
The big wish I would have in this application of the camera would be to have the ability to stream to Instagram. GoPro seems interested as well, as the blog explains that it will be compatible once Instagram allows it (although there is no date or estimated time for this mentioned).
April 9, 2020 – E-Home Entertainment and Warm Lamp Games bring you Beholder 2 on Xbox One today for $14.99. Playing as Evan Redgrave, a low-level Ministry worker, you are on a mission to unravel the circumstances surrounding your father’s mysterious suicide by rising through the ranks of the totalitarian government. Whether you choose to help your colleagues in covert missions to bring down the totalitarian state or ruthlessly destroy everyone in your path in order to climb the Ministry ladder, your decisions will have consequences that change the end of Evan Redgrave’s story.
“Beholder has been an important series to us, as it examines the relationship between government structures and individual freedom,” said Yiying Xu, Marketing Manager for E-Home Entertainment. “These themes are timeless and universal, but seem especially topical right now. We want people to think about how government regulations influence individual behavior, and the feedback loop that emanates from this. We think Beholder 2 explores these issues in a nuanced way, and look forward to Xbox players getting to try it for themselves.”
To commemorate this launch, E-Home Entertainment has released a brand new trailer showcasing Beholder 2’s oppressive atmosphere. Get a glimpse at the Ministry’s machinations, as Evan navigates this labyrinthine bureaucratic stronghold where he’s always in danger of running afoul of his despotic government overlords. And it goes without saying that tyrants don’t take kindly to insurgents.
Following in the footsteps of the critically acclaimed Beholder, the sequel follows a different story from that of Carl the Landlord, placing you in the shoes of new protagonist Evan Redgrave, a Ministry intern whose father – the former head of Department 6, committed suicide under mysterious circumstances while working at the Ministry. In order to get to the bottom of how and why he died, you’ll have to do whatever it takes to ascend the ranks of the Ministry to secure strict security clearance and gain access to the totalitarian leaders. How you eliminate your competitors is up to you. Do you help your colleagues to overthrow the totalitarian state ensuring they give up their current positions on good terms? Or would you prefer to ruthlessly tear down everyone in your path by framing and manipulating people into an early “retirement”? Once you reach the top you will learn about your father’s death as well as other sinister and shocking government secrets.
In addition to your career goals, you must complete various side tasks that will emerge based on your choices. Help your coworkers on their quests, humiliate others upon request, or find victims suitable for the baleful needs of those in charge. By completing these side missions you can earn money and reputation, both of which you’ll need on your path to promotion. The fate of the country and of Evan Redgrave are now in your hands.

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA: Wednesday, April 8, 2020 — Australian pro audio powerhouse RØDE Microphones is proud to announce an exciting expansion of the Wireless GO range.
Introducing the Wireless GO White, Lavalier GO White, Interview GO, and MagClip GO, four new additions to the ecosystem set to unlock a new world of creative possibilities for wireless audio users. The world’s most versatile wireless microphone just got a whole lot more versatile.
WHAT IS THE WIRELESS GO?
Unveiled to widespread acclaim at NAB 2019, the Wireless GO is an ultra-compact digital wireless microphone system that has since become the go-to for vloggers, run ‘n’ gun filmmakers, journalists and more.
Featuring a transmitter pack with an in-built omnidirectional condenser capsule, the Wireless GO launched as the world’s first truly wireless microphone system, entirely unique in its clip ‘n’ go versatility. There is also a 3.5mm input for connecting an external microphone like the RØDE Lavalier GO for even greater flexibility.
The receiver features a dual-purpose mount that sits snug in a camera cold shoe or clips securely onto clothing or a camera strap. Audio is sent to the receiver using RØDE’s Series III 2.4GHz digital wireless transmission that delivers crystal-clear sound over 70m line-of-sight and is designed to excel in locations with dense Wi-Fi and Bluetooth activity. There is also a three-stage pad for tailoring the mic output to a camera or recorder and a bright LED screen for monitoring levels and battery life.
All of this is packed into an incredibly tiny form factor – both the transmitter and receiver are super lightweight, weighing a minuscule 31g each, making it the perfect microphone for anyone from vloggers using compact smartphone rigs to filmmakers looking for a discreet, hassle-free wireless audio solution.
KEY FEATURES OF THE WIRELESS GO
Uniquely versatile – transmitter can be used as a discreet clip-on microphone or as a compact belt pack for a lavalier microphone.
Ultra-compact, super-lightweight form factor – 44mm x 45.3mm x 18.5mm (transmitter), 44mm x 46.4mm x 18.5mm (receiver), 31g each.
Incredible sound – Series III 2.4GHz digital wireless transmission and broadcast-grade condenser capsule deliver crystal-clear audio in a wide variety of applications.
Extremely easy to use – pairs automatically in seconds, no complicated set up involved, quick and easy to mount on talent.
Designed and made in Australia from the highest quality components in RØDE’s state-of-the-art facilities in Sydney.
Very affordable!
WIRELESS GO & LAVALIER GO WHITE
With its ultra-compact form factor and sleek black finish, the Wireless GO blends seamlessly with dark clothing and environments, making it very inconspicuous in most recording scenarios. However, against white clothing and in lighter environments, it’s not so easily concealed. Enter the Wireless GO White.
The Wireless GO White is the world’s first white compact wireless microphone system, perfect for filmmakers whose subjects regularly wear light clothing, wedding videographers, and business professionals. It boasts all the same features as the black Wireless GO, only the colour of the transmitter and receiver has changed – even the included furry windshields are white!
For those who prefer using a lavalier microphone with their Wireless GO, the Lavalier GO (sold separately) also now comes in white. The Lavalier GO is a professional-grade wearable microphone designed to perform brilliantly in any broadcast application – the perfect companion for the Wireless GO.
INTERVIEW GO
The Interview GO is an adaptor that instantly turns the Wireless GO transmitter into a lightweight wireless handheld mic for reporting to-camera or interviewing in the field. It features a sturdy attachment for the Wireless GO’s cold shoe clip to secure the mic in place, plus a high-density windshield for reducing plosives and protecting the capsule from wind when recording outdoors.
MAGCLIP GO
The MagClip GO is a powerful magnetic clip that allows for total flexibility when placing the Wireless GO transmitter on talent. Simply slip the magnet under a piece of clothing opposite where you need to place the transmitter. This allows you to get the clearest recording possible no matter what kind of clothing your subject is wearing. It can even be used to place the mic discreetly on an object in a scene or on a stage to capture dialogue.
“This expansion of the Wireless GO range is the product of 12 months of listening to user feedback and seeing what creators need and want,” says RØDE CEO Damien Wilson. “We are always in tune with how our products are being used and who is using them, and we constantly push ourselves to create new products that inspire and encourage creativity. Keep an eye on the Wireless GO range in the coming months, there’s more to come…”

SAN FRANCISCO – April 3, 2020 – Capcom, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced the highly demanded survival horror game Resident Evil™ 3 is now available worldwide. This latest entry in the 95 million selling Resident Evil™ franchise delivers the heart-pounding conclusion to the Raccoon City saga, through the perspective of one of video games’ most iconic heroines, Jill Valentine. Raccoon City and its shambling population come to life with vivid high-definition graphics and modernized gameplay mechanics using the RE Engine, previously utilized for acclaimed titles such as Resident Evil™ 2, Resident Evil™ 7 biohazard and Devil May Cry™ 5. Resident Evil 3 includes the 4 versus 1 asymmetrical online multiplayer game Resident Evil™ Resistance. It is available now in North America and Europe both physically and as a digital download on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, the Xbox One family of devices including Xbox One X, and digital-only on Steam for MSRP $59.99.
The pulse-pounding narrative of Resident Evil 3 bookends the events of last year’s award-winning Resident Evil 2. Putting players in the role of S.T.A.R.S. member Jill Valentine, Resident Evil 3 follows her desperate escape from a city torn apart from the inside by zombies and other horrifying creatures. Blocking her path is the seemingly unstoppable and brutally intelligent bioweapon Nemesis – one of the series’ most notorious adversaries. Jill is not alone in her endeavor to escape – players can also experience a slice of the chaos of Raccoon City as unexpected ally Carlos Oliveira, a member of the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service (U.B.C.S.) who’s on a mission to evacuate civilians.
Included with the Resident Evil 3 single player campaign is Resident Evil Resistance, an online asymmetrical 4 versus 1 multiplayer game included with Resident Evil 3. A group of four Survivors must strategically work together to escape diabolical experiments conducted by a vicious Mastermind before time runs out. Each of the six selectable Survivors relies on available weapons and their unique abilities to help each other as they attempt to escape from the twisted scenario. Behind every corner and hidden in every shadow is the Mastermind, who wields a deck of cards to deploy creatures and bioweapons, set traps, and manipulate the environment to overwhelm the Survivors. Notorious Resident Evil franchise villains, including Alex Wesker, Annette Birkin and Ozwell E. Spencer, all bring their own special style of torment to the Mastermind’s chair. A first for the series, as Masterminds, players can control legendary bioweapons, like the menacing Tyrant and the mutated G-Birkin.
Resident Evil 3 and Resident Evil Resistance will cross-over with the addition of Jill Valentine as a playable Survivor in the multiplayer game in an upcoming free update on April 17. More information about upcoming Resident Evil Resistance content will be shared soon.
A Collectors’ Edition for hardcore fans is also available for MSRP $179.99, and includes the game, a finely-crafted figure of Jill Valentine, an art book of classified information, a voucher code for a digital soundtrack and a double-sided Raccoon City survival map poster.
