Days Gone Delayed Into April 2019

Bend Studio's take on “zombies” has been delayed, Days Gone will now release on April 26. The publisher took the time to explain the reasoning behind the delay:

“We want to share a change in release date for this highly anticipated title from Bend Studio. We recently decided to move the release of Days Gone from the crowded February timeframe to April 26, 2019. While the studio is eager to see Days Gone in the hands of fans, Bend Studio will take the opportunity to further polish Days Gone.”

Considering that the beginning of 2019 includes such releases like Kingdom Hearts 3, Anthem, Metro Exodus, Resident Evil 2 Remake, it's easy to see Sony and Bend's reasoning for the delay.Thoughts ?

Bendgate Resurfaces With The Samsung Galaxy S6

SquareTrade has recently released a video showing the durability of the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and HTC One M9, discovering the Galaxy to bend at 110 lbs of pressure and the One M9 to bend at 120 lbs of pressure. Although the Galaxy S6 Edge's pressure limits are comparable to the iPhone 6 Plus' testing, the Galaxy's screen ended up cracking under the pressure instead of slightly bending similar to the iPhone 6 plus. The HTC One M9 lasted further than its 2 competitors, reaching 120 lbs of pressure. Testing to the point of unusable, the iPhone 6 Plus survived 179 lbs of pressure, beating out the Galaxy S6 Edge's 149 lbs stress test. As SquareTrade points out, the Galaxy's stress tests proves the phone could be worse for users due to the smartphone's screen cracking under intense pressure. So it looks like “Bendgate” has spared to the Galaxy S6 Edge as well.
