TwitchCon 2019 has officially kicked off. If you’re wondering what to expect, check out the schedule and see which events and streamers will be at the show!
With only a few weeks to go until TwitchCon 2018, Twitch has revealed additional exhibits and events for the three-day show. The fourth annual convention for the streaming giant will have numerous well-known studios on the show floor and multiple battle royale events.
On the event side of things, we already knew Fortnite‘s Fall Skirmish would wrap up at Twitchcon, with a $10 million dollar prize pool on the line. Twitch will also host the Doritos Bowl on Saturday, October 27 at 12:30 p.m. PT, a Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 tournament pitting popular streamers such as Ninja against one another in Blackout. This will be the first major competitive tournament for Call of Duty’s battle royale mode, which left a strong impression on many in beta. TwitchCon rounds out its battle royale content with the Broadcaster Royale: Omen Challenge.
Popular PUBG streamers will face off for $300,000 in prizes. Sponsored by HP, contestants will all play on Omen desktop computers and be forced to not only outlast their opponents but take huge risks when “Omen challenges” are called out. Broadcaster Royale kicks off at 1:30 p.m. on Friday, October 26 at the City National Civic Theater and can be streamed here.
Lastly, Games Done Quick debuts at TwitchCon with a 50-hour speedrunning marathon. Like other GDQ events, proceeds donated throughout the impressive runs will go to charity. You can check out the scheduled games here.
Those in attendance will also be able to visit exhibits set up by some of the world’s most renowned AAA studios. Epic Games will on hand with the Fortnite Hall, which promises “frights, delights and fun surprises.” Bethesda will hold live-streams throughout the event featuring games such as Fallout 76 and Quake Champions. Sony is bringing its Road to Greatness truck, which will give those in attendance the chance to play unreleased games on PSVR and PlayStation 4 and perhaps earn some prizes in the process. Total War: Warhammer II and Total War: Three Kingdoms will be shown off at the Creative Assembly/Sega booth.
TwitchCon will also be host to a slew of indie studios in Indie Alley, where attendees can check out new and upcoming indie games.
It’s not too late to purchase tickets to the three-day event in San Jose, California, October 26-28.
Acer’s Predator Atlas 8 finally has a US release date and price, several months after the company first showed off the handheld in May. The highlight is the Intel Arc G3 Extreme chip inside, which has been adopted by only a couple of other consoles besides the Atlas 8. This version will go on sale exclusively at Best Buy on November 1 for $1,299.99.
Acer originally said the Atlas 8 would arrive in North America in October, but left pricing open at the time. The launch came amid the ongoing DRAM crunch, which has made memory more expensive across the PC industry and complicated pricing for hardware makers.
Gaming laptops and I have a complicated relationship. One of my first gaming rigs was an Acer Predator that was already outdated when I bought it. I was a broke college kid, and that was the best I could afford. So trying out high-end gaming laptops is always fun. But ASUS' ROG Zephyrus G14 is a lot more than a laptop that can run AAA games. It is portable, so you're not lugging around a 2.5kg machine everywhere you go. It is built well, none of that plastic chassis, and can even function as a normal laptop outside of just gaming.
Google Play is borrowing one of the Nintendo Switch’s most useful little tricks. A new Sidekick tool called Playbacks captures a short clip after something interesting has already happened, sparing players from running a screen recorder throughout an entire game.
Playbacks is part of Google Play Store v53.8 and keeps saved clips on the phone. Google first announced it earlier this month, but the new Play Store update marks its arrival for players. Anyone who has watched a perfect win vanish because the record button came too late already understands the appeal.
