Geek News, News, Tech News, Trailers / Videos

ZHIYUN was a hit at the NAB 2025 show in Las Vegas this April, unveiling new accessories that help photographers and videomakers unleash their creativity. The packed venue saw the launch of the latest ZHIYUN products and emphasized the remarkable performance of the wide range of ZHIYUN gimbal and lighting accessories.

The company drew a big crowd at its booth, with top influencers interacting with the audience, and live demonstrations for visitors and media. Industry experts speaking enthusiastically at the ZHIYUN booth included Cam Mackey @cammacky, Zach Ramelan @zachramelan, Irene Rudnyk @irenerudnykphoto, The DP Journey @thedpjourney, and Anita Sadowska @sadowskaphoto.

The popular photo and video accessory maker held major new product launch events at its booth and also showcased key creative accessories from its range of popular ZHIYUN Molus, Fiveray and Cinepeer lights; and the Crane, Weebill and Smooth series gimbals. Organized by the US National Association of Broadcasters, NAB 2025 took place from April 6 to April 9, 2025 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, US.

ZHIYUN lights up brightly in Las Vegas

As well as exclusive new products, ZHIYUN showed visitors many of its outstanding range of lights and gimbals which are already in the field, helping photo and video creatives and professionals produce spectacular results quickly and easily.

There was the MOLUS G300, which Youtuber RudyVisuals highlights for its ability to act as a single versatile lighting source that illuminates an entire interview setup. The similarly-capably G200 was also on show at NAB 2025.

The MOLUS X60 videography and photography light provides professional-level powerful 60 watt quality lighting, but is remarkably compact – palm-sized and just 319g – easy-to-use, and cool-running. Color fidelity is excellent, and the MOLUS X60 RGB variant provides full color control. Influencer, Connor McCaskill, after trying out this X60 series and the M20C light, excitedly comments about “how insanely powerful they are for how portable they are”.

ZHIYUN’s ultra-portable lights make working on the move even easier. The FIVERAY M40 light provides 40W of high power lighting in a lightweight palm-sized device that fits in a pocket. Meanwhile, the FIVERAY M20 and M20C pocket-sized 20W lights combine professional-level features with consumer-level ease-of-use in an easily portable format.

Then there’s ZHIYUN’s CINEPEER C100, a 100W RGB portable light with 36,000 color options, built-in lighting effects, adaptive charging, and long battery life.

Innovations in gimbals and AI tracking

The Crane M3S compact portable gimbal is a 705g (1.5 lbs) stabilizer with an impressive load-bearing capacity that handles a wide range of mainstream full-frame cameras and lens combos. It can also be used with mobile phones, mirrorless cameras, and action cameras.

Powerful AI tracking technology transforms the video creation process in ZHIYUN’s SMOOTH 5S AI smartphone stabilizer gimbals. Video experts are saying it is “going to change your way of smartphone filming a whole lot”. The compact magnetically-attached AI tracker is easily controlled by simple hand gestures, and makes professional-level video quick and easy to shoot – even for solo creators.

Other ZHIYUN accessories seen at NAB 2025 included:

Lights: Molus G300 and G200, Molus B series, Molus X100

Gimbals: Crane 4 and Weebill 3S

Gather, build, skill, and craft to survive in this co-operative 1-4 player survival crafting adventure, as you embark on an epic quest to slay the Dragon Queen. Only by mastering survival and uncovering ancient secrets can you hope to defeat this sinister new threat—alone or with allies.

Journey through the vast, vibrant regions of Ashenfall and unveil the ruins of forgotten civilisations to discover why wild transformative magic spills from its fractured lands. Explode ore veins with a snap of your fingers, or conjure a spectral axe to chop down a line of trees in an instant; the Anima-rich landscape of Ashenfall offers you a power unlike any other.

Craft gear, prepare potions, and level up your skills to confront the dragons and throw down the gauntlet against the most powerful force on the continent. Explore a stunning, handcrafted landscape ravaged by Anima in an all-new adventure that blends High Fantasy, light RPG elements, and iconic RuneScape lore.

Venture into a land hidden since time immemorial, uncover ancient secrets, and battle legendary RuneScape creatures alongside entirely new foes. Face a world under constant threat from the looming shadow of the dragons, uncovering the mysteries of Ashenfall to learn not just how to confront them, but how to overcome them.

“We’re so excited to surprise players with our Early Access launch today and invite them to discover the magical world of RuneScape: Dragonwilds right now,” said Jesse America, Executive Producer. “We’ve been working hard to develop an entirely new type of RuneScape experience that ignites fans’ passion, creativity and love for questing, and provide them with an all-new RuneScape adventure to discover.

Community is at the heart of RuneScape: Dragonwilds and, from day one, player feedback will continue to help build and guide the game’s roadmap to make the adventure the best it can be. Throughout Early Access players will experience several dangerous regions of Ashenfall, and can look forward to the addition of a new region – Fellhollow – a location suspended between life and death and ruled over by a dangerous dragon overlord, opposed by a well-known character from the RuneScape franchise. Plus, expect new quests, NPC’s, lore, music, gear, modes, ongoing quality of life improvements and much, much more.

Gothic 1 Remake: Old vs New Featurette

2025/04/15

Geek News, News, Trailers / Videos, Windows PC News

Today, developer Alkimia Interactive has revealed new insights into the Gothic 1 Remake. The development team offered another in-depth look, as part of their making-of-series, into the creation of their ambitious project: This remake of the cult classic will not only deliver a complete visual overhaul but also introduce systemic and narrative refinements that aim to elevate the beloved original into a modern experience.

Play the demo now: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3448280

“Our job was to find out what elements should stay exactly as they are and what elements should be expanded,” explains Reinhard Pollice, Alkimia Interactive’s Studio Director. Throughout the production, the developers found themselves constantly navigating between honoring the original while thoughtfully enhancing it with new ideas to make the experience even more compelling. Gothic 1 Remake aims to stay true to the original’s core narrative, while addressing long-standing issues: Plot holes, contradictions, and logical inconsistencies have been carefully reviewed and rewritten.

Creating a believable, breathing open world is one of the remake’s central design goals. The team implemented a detailed living world simulation where characters follow daily routines, witness player actions, and dynamically respond to events, even when the player isn’t nearby. “We’re not just configuring NPCs’ homes or schedules.”, says Javier Untoria, Lead Game Designer. “We are creating a living world with a lot of character.”

Another exciting part of the remake is how the development team expands existing areas and and found inspiration in elements that were originally cut. The development team looked at areas that were empty in the original and fleshed them out. From mysterious dungeons to hidden paths and deeper interactions with orc culture, many of the game’s lore-rich aspects are being given space to truly shine.
