(Los Angeles, CA) – September 27, 2017 – Noir Matter today introduced QUARK, the world’s smallest waterproof stabilizer for GoPro and other action cameras. Perfect for video makers and action sports enthusiasts, QUARK is the ultimate tool for capturing fully stable videos because of its horizontal (“roll”) stabilization which keeps the horizon “straight,” ensuring the captured action is always level. An Indiegogo campaign (https://igg.me/at/quark) which has a funding goal of $100,000 USD, features limited Super Early Bird specials of $145 USD (27% off retail) and several other rewards for early backers.

QUARK, a one-axis waterproof stabilizer (can be set for “Roll” and “Yaw” axis) for GoPro and other action cameras, stabilizes the attached camera on the selected axis by gathering motion information from different embedded sensors linked to the camera. By analyzing the gathered information, QUARK drives its powerful, custom motor to ensure users can record fully stable and level videos.

QUARK is the world’s first waterproof (up to 1m/3ft) stabilizer for GoPro and other action cameras, so users can use it during any water activity (i.e.: kitesurfing, surfing, kayaking, etc.) And, because of its size (76x67x31 mm / 3×2,6×1,2 in), users can keep it attached to their camera at all times. Lightweight (240g / 0.53Pound / 8.5 Oz), QUARK can be mounted on any mount, pole, helmet, ski, surfboard, etc.

“After using a variety of different 3-axis stabilizers, we realized that they were not practical and truly adapted for action cameras,” said Lancelot Gelas, founder, Noir Matter. “Most of them are too big, bulky, complex and heavy. By miniaturizing the technology, we have been able to create a product that you can use everywhere.”

Additional QUARK Specs:
• STABILIZATION: Electric with a Brushless DC Motor
• SENSORS: 3-axis gyroscope (“Roll,” “Pitch” and “Yaw” axes), accelerometer
• ONE SWITCH: Press the On/Off switch for easy activation or shut down
• BATTERY: Lithium Polymer, life of 3h (Recharge in 2h)

It’s flagship product, Quark, is the world’s smallest waterproof stabilizer for GoPros, mobile phones and other personal cameras. The company’s mission is to help content creators and filmmaking enthusiasts alike create videos that are of the best quality and not today’s typical shaky, low quality production.

Ghost War will be free for all players who own the base game and will receive regular updates with new content added post-launch.

In Ghost War, two groups of players will take part in a 4v4 team deathmatch experience that builds on the tactical squad play from the main game, where strategy is equally as important as skill. Teams will choose from a roster of varied classes across three categories including Assault, Marksman and Support, fulfilling specific roles on the battlefield as they navigate large-scale open maps and take down their enemies. Using one of the twelve distinct classes, each with their own varied characteristics, weapons, perks and customization options, players will engage with enemies across eight unique maps. Ghost War will also integrate new PvP mechanics, including suppressing fire and sound markers, to create a strategic and intense team-based multiplayer mode. For all the detailed information on Ghost War, please visit: https://ghost-recon.ubisoft.com/wildlands/en-us/ghostwar/index.aspx

The development team plans to bring regular post-launch updates to Ghost War in order to enrich the overall PvP experience. “We are excited to continue refining and expanding Ghost War after its launch” said Lucian Istrate, lead game designer on Ghost War at Ubisoft Bucharest. “Expect more classes, more maps, and even new modes to be added in the future!”

Developed by Ubisoft Paris,* Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands is a military shooter entirely playable in up to four-player co-op or single-player from beginning to end. Players have total freedom to accomplish their missions how they want and watch as the world reacts to their actions. Players can choose to move quietly in the night, go in hot at dawn or work together to execute a sync shot that takes out enemies in one fell swoop. Each choice has a consequence, and players must improvise or adapt their plans to ensure the completion and success of each mission.

The Evil Within 2 ‘Righteous Priest’ Trailer

September 27, 2017 – Shrouded in mystery, Father Theodore has remained an enigma…until now. Along with Stefano, Theodore is one of the human “monsters” who have made their way into the new STEM world in The Evil Within 2, and he’s finally ready to reveal his message to the masses – a message that promises a “righteous” fury and immolation to those who oppose him. Sebastian will need to survive the wrath of this master manipulator if he’s going to have any hope of finding Lily and escaping the nightmare of STEM.

Theodore has his own reasons for being in STEM that are separate from Mobius’ goals, which he sees as misguided. Though what he’s actually after only becomes apparent as Sebastian becomes more entangled in his world. Like Stefano, Theodore isn’t alone in STEM, although unlike Stefano – who commands the gruesome and terrifying Guardian and Obscura – Theodore’s main helpers aren’t creatures he created. Referred to as Harbingers, they are normal people whose minds Theodore has bent to his will. These Harbingers wield flamethrowers and seem to exist solely to carry out Theodore’s fiery will, burning any who would stand in the way of his pursuits. Any detail about his past pushes into HUGE SPOILER territory. In other words, you’ll have to play the game in order to unlock the secrets he hides. In the meantime you can check out Bethesda.net for even more details and insights from the team at Tango Gameworks.

As Sebastian Castellanos, you’ll have to dive into hell once more in the sequel to the hit 2014 survival horror game from the mind of Shinji Mikami. Take on twisted creatures in horrifying domains and face off against your own worst nightmares as you race to save your daughter. The Evil Within 2 will launch worldwide Friday the 13th, October 2017 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. The Evil Within 2 has been rated M for Mature by the ESRB.

The death of a villain at the hands of a mysterious assassin was just the beginning. As explosions rock Gotham, Batman races to meet a new foe, but encounters a force that may cause even the Dark Knight to fall. In the guise of the billionaire, Bruce meets John Doe’s ‘friends’ and becomes enmeshed in a plot where the only way out is to go deeper in. But at what cost?

Episode two, ‘The Pact,’ launches October 3 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, and Mac. In addition, both episodes one *and* two will become available on iOS and Android-based devices that same day. Going forward, new episodes will launch the same day on all platforms.

A special ‘Season Pass Disc’ for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will also be available at retailers starting October 3 in North America and October 6 in Europe. The disc includes the first episode of the season, as well as download access to all subsequent episodes as they are released.

This new season will be accessible to both returning fans and newcomers alike, though players’ choices from the first season of Batman: The Telltale Series will optionally carry over into The Enemy Within. This season will also include Telltale’s unique multiplayer ‘Crowd Play’ feature, which allows friends and family to engage with the adventure together by helping to decide the direction of the story from any mobile device with an online connection.

Rendered to look like a living, breathing comic book, Telltale’s vision of Batman features an award-winning cast of talent including Troy Baker, who returns to reprise his role as Bruce Wayne, as well as Anthony Ingruber, who will reprise his fresh take on ‘John Doe,’ better known to fans as The Joker.

Batman: The Enemy Within will be a standalone product separate from the first season of Batman: The Telltale Series and is licensed by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and based on DC’s iconic character. Episode two, ‘The Pact,’ has been rated ‘Mature’ by the ESRB.

While OVERTURN will release in-depth multiplayer functionality following the initial launch on October 17, the central story and core gameplay necessitates quick reactions to dodge incoming projectiles and mastery of your in-game arsenal. To destroy and surpass the onslaught of robotic enemies that players face, OVERTURN supplies players with beam rifles, energy swords, grenades, mechanical robots and even bare fists! Witness the destruction with the OVERTURN Gameplay trailer, available now on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-WkHDbPdRg&feature=youtu.be

With offensive powerups like Infinite Charge, Grenade, and Battle MAGI, and defensive abilities such as Time Slow, Shield, and HP, MAGI has the power to save your life, and end others – but can she control her newfound abilities?

OVERTURN includes features to support content creation, including built-in Twitch chat support as well as third-person camera systems that can be manipulated to provide an alternate perspective on the action.
