Worth checking out, just don't make any plans for awhile. Right now its a solid 6, later on could be a 7- 8 depending on what all they add. You get it cheaper and are essentially helping test the game in this stage. As far as bugs go, with the report system being pretty efficient I would imagine this game will be running smooth in a few months. The frame rate stutters a bit, when the RAM is being taxed, but again. Set it up to where you only lose your tool belt to start, save yourself some headache. As far as the game goes we are continually impressed at how much ha dot have gone into this, and its hella fun once you get up and going.

Expect sort of a low budget ps3 type look to it, no big deal unless you are a graphics snob. The primitive look is what makes the depth possible. I'll say this, if you are expecting to be blown away by graphics, don't. My girlfriend and I play split screen survival. Some slight polygon tearing here and there, but no game breakers. Picked Clyde for my character, experienced some minor issues, deleted that save, started with Lee. Reinstalled later, major issues resolved. Preloaded the game, stayed up till midnight to play it, had some major issues, which was to be expected I guess.

I believe the translation the PSP version had for the first signpost in stage1 was "ALJIBA" not sure on the second sign though. Here is the video game Castlevania: Rondo of Blood Released in 1993 on TurboGrafx CD, it's still available and playable with some tinkering. I’ll try and get a screen shot for you of both signposts. If anyone else wants’ to hunt these down then by all means, be my guest. Reyvgm: I can’t seem too located where the signpost graphics are. So the next release of the patch, aside from everything tomaitheous has been doing, will also have better audio quality and have the character select screen dubbed. I was able to record the dialogue though by silencing the Redbook AT3 file for Kyrie Eleison (the menu music) then recording the voices from there without the music deluding anything. Sadly when I said there were a few exceptions to the AT3 files, this was one of them (the other thing being the dialogue for Death but that’s not really an issue). I’ve also found the ADPCM clips for the character select screen in the PC-Engine version. I've also (finally) decided to look at the file structure for Castlevania The Dracula X Chronicles and found out that all the ADPCM clips (with a few exceptions) are just laying there in AT3 format! Now I can use a direct rip from the PSP dub instead of having to use the audio from YouTube videos! I'm thinking about replacing the ADPCM for the Slash with the sound of a church bell ringing (like the title screen to Clock Tower: First Fear). Not really an issue but odd none the less. The game's inclusion in Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles for the PSP and later its stand-alone re-release for the Wii Virtual Console would remedy this.One thing I noticed though is that the copyright information is now pink (was originally red).

A deeper look at Samsung's Galaxy S8

The Samsung Galaxy S8 has redefined smartphones -- it's all curves, no bezels and truly one of a kind. Samsung needed to create a device that would make everyone forget about the Note 7's exploding batteries and it accomplished that. The S8 and S8+ are two of the best smartphones on the market. They aren't perfect, but Samsung came close.

What might be most exciting about the latest Galaxy flagships is that Samsung has made smartphones fun again. Smartphone design has grown tired, with every device featuring some version of a flat, bezeled display. Samsung was the first to get to the table with a innovative bezel-free design, and you can expect smartphone design to follow.

The Galaxy S8 is an Android device that finally values form just as much as function, something Apple figured out over a decade ago. The Galaxy S8 is a sleek, high-end device, and it's predicted that it will gain more traction in the enterprise than past Android devices.

Galaxy S8 design

The Galaxy S8 is beautifully designed with smooth, curved edges that complement the tapered OLED Infinity Display. It feels just as premium as it looks -- no plastic in sight with a body coated in Gorilla Glass 5. The design looks like it could be fragile, but I've dropped my own S8 more than once, with a slim case, and it's held up. I remember thinking the same about the iPhone 4 -- every new smartphone feels fragile until you're used it for a few months.

The display took over the physical home button, and instead Samsung included a pressure sensitive button beneath the display. I like the haptic feedback. It's not like the Apple iPhone 7, where it feels like you're pushing the actual display in. But it's better than your standard vibrating feedback, you feel like you can give it a decent push even when the display is asleep.

Of course, one of the biggest complaints about the home button is that Samsung didn't integrate a fingerprint scanner into the display. Instead, the fingerprint button is on the back of the device, next to the camera. This results in smudging the camera as you awkwardly reach around to find the scanner.

I went in with low expectations of the fingerprint reader, and I've mostly relied on other authentication methods. But after more than a week of use, I've gotten used to it. I always keep a case on my devices, and the cut out for the camera makes it easier to blindly feel for the reader. Overall, I don't think it's a deal breaker, but it will ultimately be your personal preference. Sometimes a new phone also means building new muscle memory, and after two weeks with the S8, I have no problem reaching my pointer finger up to the fingerprint scanner.

Just like past devices, the Galaxy S8 is IP68 water and dust resistant, with wireless charging and a 3.5mm headphone jack -- Samsung also included a USB Type-C charging port. The rear-facing dual-pixel camera is 12-megapixels -- same as the Galaxy Note 7 -- but the front-facing camera has been upgraded to a wide-angled lens with 8-megapixels.

Although the rear-facing camera is the same as last year's, Samsung has boosted software performance for higher-quality images. The camera works fantastic in low lighting and, as with all Samsung cameras, images feature a slight boost in contrast. Whether you like the boost in contrast and saturation is personal preference, but I found images sharp, clear and vibrant.

Galaxy S8 Bixby button

This is technically part of the design, but the Bixby button deserves a section all to itself because it's also the worst part of the design. It was a bold move for Samsung to include a dedicated button for its new voice assistant, Bixby. It's especially bold when you consider Bixby is brand new, no one has ever used it before and most Android users are loyal to Google's voice assistant.

Initially, Samsung said the button would be remappable to another assistant or app -- which I was happy about. I use Siri and Google Assistant to do one thing -- set timers. A dedicated Bixby button felt excessive when I'm only going to use it to avoid forgetting laundry in my apartment's shared washers.

Samsung decided to remove the ability to remap the Bixby button. Not only is that change disheartening, the physical location of the Bixby button is frustrating -- it's exactly where you'd expect to find your volume down button. The app is useless in its current state. I couldn't even ask it to set a timer if I wanted to.

There's one silver lining to the Bixby button, depending on how much of an optimist you are. After my husband received his pre-order, he discovered at least one use for the Bixby button. If you delete every card and app from the Bixby screen, it becomes so glaringly bright white that you can use it as a flashlight.

If Samsung wants users to be loyal to Bixby, it needs to make the app so good that no one will want to remap the button. Customers don't spend over $700 on a smartphone just to be pushed into using any feature. This one feels like a clumsy nod to Apple's strategy, with Samsung slowly trying to entrench people into its ecosystem -- the exact thing most Android users are trying to avoid.

[ Related story: Samsung targets the enterprise with Galaxy S8 and S8+ ]

Galaxy S8 display

The 5.8-inch OLED display on the Galaxy S8 speaks for itself -- it's gorgeous, with a stunning resolution of 570 ppi. Not only is it unique, but the rounded edges of the Infinity Display create an immersive experience. Whether you're reading an article, watching a YouTube video or playing a mobile game, the edges of the device just melt away.

The curved edges are also practical.Tthe S8 looks large, but it doesn't feel that way when you hold it. I've found the iPhone 7 Plus, Pixel XL and past Galaxy flagship devices too wide for my hand, but the Galaxy S8 is the perfect size, even with a case.

The 18.5:9 aspect ratio is a little odd at first, but apps that aren't already optimized for the new ratio can be "cropped to fit," including YouTube videos. And with the growing trend of bezel-free displays, it's easy to imagine the S8's odd ratio will soon be common-place.

Another advantage to the tall display -- especially for business users -- is how effective it is for multitasking. You can float apps on the display in bubbles, quickly opening them to use a fully-functional, but scaled down version of one app without leaving another. On smaller displays, multi-window features always felt gimmicky rather than practical.

But the S8's tall display makes Android's multi-window function useful. I never had to switch out of another app to answer a text or browse my playlists like I did on my iPhone.

Galaxy S8 performance

If you purchase the device in the U.S., you'll get a Galaxy S8 with a Samsung Exynos processor. Outside of the U.S., the device features Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 processor. It comes equipped with 4GB of RAM and I found the combination of Samsung's processor and RAM perfect for regular use. The device ships with 64GB of on-board storage, and it's expandable up to 256GB with a MicroSD card.

It's tempting to compare performance of the Galaxy S8 to the iPhone 7 Plus -- and for good reason. They're two of the best devices you can currently buy. I think the iPhone will always come out on top when pushed to the limit -- for example, uploading or downloading large files.

Apple has fine-tuned its lightweight mobile OS to run seamlessly on its own hardware using a proprietary processing chip. Alternatively, Android has a lot more manufacturers and devices to please. That is, it needs to work across multiple devices, run widgets, allow for multi-window mode, support launchers and ROMs and offer users high-level customization.

When you consider all the things an Android device asks of its OS compared to an iPhone with iOS, the performance of the S8 is extra impressive. Coming from an iPhone 6, I expected a choppier performance on Android. But with the S8, it's been a seamless experience. I haven't experienced any lag or poor animations; performance has been smooth and snappy.

Galaxy S8 battery life

It's no surprise that Samsung played it safe with the S8's battery. The S8's 3,000mAh battery is smaller than the battery in the Galaxy S7 edge, but Samsung claims it has a longer lifespan, losing only 5 percent of its capacity over two years. I can't test this claim without a time machine, but if it holds true, that's exciting news.

In daily, average use, the battery is enough -- it's not great, but it's enough. Of course, it's going to depend on your settings, apps and general habits, and I find that in my first month with a new device I use it more often than I normally would.

Over the past two weeks, I've pushed the S8 to the limits. I've loaded the device up with well-known battery drainers like Snapchat and Facebook Messenger. I kept Bluetooth on all day and used the S8 as my main streaming device for YouTube and Spotify. With heavy use, the battery got me through an entire workday, with a recharge in the evening. On days with lighter, more typical use -- days when I went out and reached for my smartphone less -- the battery got me through the day, well into the evening.

The device charges insanely fast with Samsung's fast charge technology. It will display the amount of time you have until a full charge, which is useful if you're trying to get out the door. The fast charging made up for the average battery performance since I could quickly top the battery off.

I expect that once the honeymoon phase wears off I'll have no problem stretching the battery life further. But if battery life is truly important to you, you might want to look at the S8+, which has a 3,500mAh battery.

Bloatware

While Bixby's execution was a misstep, one area where Samsung finally got it right is with its proprietary preloaded software. My Verizon pre-order arrived with a handful of annoying Verizon apps and games pre-loaded onto the device, but I uninstalled most of them. My T-Mobile review unit had far less bloatware than the Verizon device, and again, most of it was from T-Mobile, not Samsung, and I could uninstall the apps.

Samsung no longer tries to force you into using its native apps. They come tucked away in a tidy folder on the app tray and most of them can be uninstalled -- not just hidden. With other apps, like reminders and the weather app, Samsung doesn't even include a home screen or app tray icon unless you enable the feature in the app's settings.

Galaxy S8 enterprise potential

If any Android device has the potential to edge out the iPhone in the enterprise, it's the Galaxy S8. The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus have more to offer businesses, but the Galaxy S8 presents a legitimate alternative for IT.

Enterprise adoption will also be pushed by BYOD -- the growing trend of employees using a personal device for work. The Galaxy S8 is primed for BYOD; Samsung Knox not only helps with EMM, it makes it easy for users to keep personal and business data separate. And with the Samsung Dex -- a docking station that lets you use the S8 or S8+ as a full desktop -- businesses will be more motivated than ever to embrace the S8.

Samsung has built a smartphone that sets a new standard for other manufacturers, it's a hit with consumers and its appeal could sway the enterprise. With more display real-estate, a high-end design and impressive performance, employees can truly be productive on this device. And with the potential of docking stations like DeX -- full review coming later -- Samsung might be on the cutting edge of consumer technology and business mobility.

The LG Velvet Is a Stylish Phone with a Versatile Dual-Screen Case Option

If there is one thing that 2020’s new tech has shown us, folding screens and dual screens are a popular feature that people want, even if they aren’t always affordable. Smartphones that can seemingly do it all are de rigueur, and sometimes it takes more than just a single screen to make that happen. The 5G LG Velvet starts as an agile, fashionable, and versatile Android smartphone; the addition of its optional and removable Dual Screen case provides a second display for those times when you need a phone that can do more.

I’m going to focus on the AT&T version of the LG Velvet that I received for review, but the Velvet is also available for T-Mobile and Verizon customers. Depending upon which carrier you purchase from, the LG Velvet will come in Aurora Gray, Aurora Silver, Aurora Red, and Pink White; my review unit came in Aurora Silver.

There’s not much included in the box. Inside, you’ll find the phone, a wall charger (labeled “fast charge”), a USB Type-A to USB Type-C cable, a quick-start guide, a booklet with info on product safety and the warranty, and a flyer with how to turn your phone into a digital wallet with LG Pay on one side and information on how to get a second year added to your limited warranty with registration and an upload of your purchase receipt on the other.

The LG Velvet measures 6.6″ tall by 2.95″ wide by 0.33″ thick, and it weighs 6.2 ounces. The phone is quite tall and very thin, with a 6.8″ FHD+ OLED Display (2460 x 1080; 395 ppi) with a 20.5:9 aspect ratio and an uninspiring 60Hz refresh rate. It fits quite well in my hand, but the Corning Gorilla Glass 5, which covers its front and back, is very slick (and a fingerprint magnet) without a case. The glass edges on the front are quite curved, and the display wraps subtely down the long sides; a metal frame holds the glass pieces in place. The overall effect is stylish and sharp. The phone is gorgeous and striking; the back glass reflects light so beautifully, as you will soon see. The Velvet isn’t a flagship phone, per se, but it looks and, for the most part, feels like one.

There’s a 4mm black border at the top and bottom of the display with a 1mm black border on each of the sides. A single front-facing 16-megapixel camera lens dips down from the upper border at the center top of the display. If the lens hole bothers you, LG allows you to set a solid black status bar that stops just below the camera display, but doing so puts an 8mm black border at the top of your screen, and it only works with LG apps anyway, so don’t bother. There is a sizeable in-screen fingerprint reader (it’s been about 95% accurate in my use), but no facial recognition. The Velvet’s display is crisp and very bright, and I had no trouble seeing the display outside. The display dims nicely at night with a Comfort View blue light filter that you can manually set; you can also schedule it to come on from sunset to sunrise, or you can set specific times for it to activate. If you prefer to run your phone in dark mode, LG offers the option to do so. You can also set the otherwise bright white screens to go into dark mode from sunrise to sunset or between specific times. LG also offers the option of an always-on display, and they have an excellent selection of clocks and cute creatures (some animated) with which to personalize.

On top of the phone, there is a microphone and a combination SIM and microSD tray. The LG Velvet comes with 6GB RAM and 128GB user memory (On the AT&T version, about 97GB of that is available to the user from the start), and it can accept up to a 2TB memory card. Because I received the AT&T version, it came preloaded with a vast selection of software, including games I won’t play, premium television services that I don’t pay for, and all of the standard AT&T apps. Some of the preloaded apps can be deleted, including HBO Max, Amazon Shopping, NBA, Bleacher Report, Pandora, Candy Crush Saga, three versions of Solitare, DirecTV, Wish, SmartNews, Gold Fish, NewsBreak, Great Big Story, Puto TV, and Coin Master. But many — like most of the AT&T apps, DC universe, CNN, GOT: Conquest, AT&T ProTech, Booking.com, The CW, and Facebook can only be disabled, meaning they are hidden from showing on the phone, but they are still using ROM. After deleting all the non-LG apps that came preloaded to see what would now be available, I had 98.78GB free.

On the left side, there are two volume buttons and a dedicated Google Assistant button.

On the right side, there is a power button.

On the bottom, there is a 3.5mm headphone jack, a USB Type-C port, a microphone, and a speaker.

On the back, there are elegantly descending lenses in this order: a 48-megapixel primary camera, an 8-megapixel wide-angle camera, and a 5-megapixel ToF (time of flight) sensor followed by an LED flash. I like this simple design, as it is less obnoxious than the square and rectangular camera arrays so many device makers have embraced. The LED flash and the bottom two cameras sit flush with the Velvet’s back, and there is a ~1mm protruding ring around the top lens.

SO SHINY!!!

Let’s take a look at some sample photos; I thought the LG did a good job capturing the water lily display in San Angelo. The zoom photos can get grainy, but it’s to be expected.. (Click any picture to open a larger view slideshow.)

The LG Velvet runs Android 10 with LG’s Velvet UI skin running on top; I’ve had several updates arrive since I had the phone with the most recent being on September 24th. The UI is fine; it’s not too heavily overloaded with weird “features,” and I genuinely appreciate that swiping right on the home screen still brings up Google News (unlike the travesty forced on Samsung users to choose Samsung Daily or … nothing, for instance). However, there are still some head-scratching additions to the system; one of them is the annoying reminder not to remove the (non-removable) battery. I mean, when was the last time a smartphone’s battery was removable? Is someone out there actually still trying to do this?

One addition that Samsung Note admirers might like that the LG Velvet works with an active stylus (like this one), but because I don’t have one and my review unit didn’t include one, I wasn’t able to test that feature. It’s just as well, though; there’s no place to store a stylus, so it would just be an extra piece of gear to carry, and I am not sure how often I would use it anyway.

I like that the Velvet supports WiFi calling, as my network coverage at home can be spotty; this is one of those things that is a deal-breaker for me when considering whether a phone could be my primary or not. We don’t have 5G in my area, so I could not test how well it did or didn’t perform with that type of network.

The phone may look and feel like a flagship, but it runs the mid-to-higher-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 765 5G Mobile Platform. While the Velvet is capable and zippy enough most of the time (opening web pages, playing games, opening apps, etc.), there have been some odd stalls — like when I scroll on certain web pages or when trying to take a photo with HDR.

Battery life has been surprisingly good; even though the Velvet is a thinner phone, it has a 4,300mAh Li-Ion battery that lasts for about 8 hours of semi-solid use for me. The phone has Qualcomm Quick Charge 4.0+ and wireless charging, so that’s convenient when it is time to top off.

One thing I was disappointed in was the removal of the excellent Hi-Fi Quad DAC digital-to-analog converter feature that higher-end LG phones utilize when headphones are plugged in. If you usually use Bluetooth headphones, you likely won’t even miss it. Still, I always felt it was a wired-headphone feature that set LG phones apart and that LG made the most of, especially considering that they were one of the few phone makers still including a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Worth noting is that the LG Velvet is IP68 Certified & MIL-STD 810G Passed, so it’s dust, water, and shock-resistant, which is useful for those who like to bring their phone to the pool or hot tub. This is an underrated feature until it is needed, and then it’s something to be thankful for once an accident or dunking occurs.

Like several models of higher-end LGs before it, the Velvet offers the option of adding a Dual Screen Case to give the user an extra display for enhanced multitasking. Unlike the reflective front on the LG V60’s Dual Screen Case, the front of the LG Velvet’s Dual Screen Case is matte silver with a shiny black cover display; the cover display activates when you lift the phone or press the power button, and it shows the time, date, battery status, and various notifications without having to open the case to check the phone. The Dual Screen Case adds considerable weight and bulk to the otherwise svelte Velvet. With the phone installed in the case, it will now measure 6.9″ tall by 3.4″ wide by 0.6″ thick, and it weighs 10.8 ounces; it is only slightly thinner and lighter than the V60’s Dual Screen Case, but it feels perceptively sleeker in hand.

The benefit of adding this extra bulk to your LG Velvet is, of course, the addition of a second 6.8″ OLED FHD Display. On it, you can operate completely separate apps than those you are running on the main screen. I went into heavy detail on the functions and uses of the second screen in my V60 review, but suffice it to say that it is convenient for having a separate area to chat in another app, for instance, when you are in the middle of a Zoom call. It is also handy for checking email when you are watching a video, or pulling up multiple news sources when researching something. When you’re using the Dual Screen features, you can swap screens from the main to the second screen, you can put the main screen to sleep, or you can turn off the Dual Screen completely. The Dual Screen case folds 360º so you can fold the second screen behind the main screen when you need to reply to emails or answer texts with both thumbs; it’s a bit difficult to manage actual keying when the Dual Screen case is open unless you are proficient at typing with your pointer fingers.

Even though there is no camera in the Dual Screen Case’s display, there is a matching black circle where the camera appears on the main display.

As they did on the V60, LG opted to connect the case to Velvet via a built-in USB Type-C charger on the inside of the Dual Screen Case rather than using POGO pins inside the case with an open charging port on the bottom as LG had on the V50. The Dual Screen Case does drain the battery significantly faster than when using the Velvet alone, So you need to be mindful of that when using it.

The design of the case necessitates using an included white dongle that clips onto your regular USB Type-C charging cable and then magnetically attaches to the charging pins on the bottom of the Dual Screen Case.

The optional Dual Screen Case is not necessary, but it is nice to have when you do want it. And when you don’t need it, you can remove it and carry the LG Velvet on its own

If you buy the LG Velvet outright at AT&T, it will cost $599, but if you make the 30-month AT&T installment payments at $10 per month, it is just $300, which makes it an excellent deal. For $300, you’ll get a gorgeous IP68 5G phone with a large, brilliant screen, a decent camera, a fast processor, wireless charging, and the ability to add the Dual Screen Case with a second display for $200 more. That makes the LG Velvet a compelling choice; if better multitasking is what you need from your phone, you’ll likely love it.

The LG Velvet is available from AT&T ($599.99), Verizon ($699.99), and T-Mobile ($588). The LG Dual Screen Case for the AT&T and Verizon versions of the LG Velvet is available separately for $199.99. You can learn more about the LG Velvet here.
