    Samsung Is Developing a New Cloud Game Platform

    Samsung has announced that it is developing a new cloud gaming platform for its Smart TVs.

    Revealed as part of Samsung’s SDC21 keynote presentation, the platform will work on Samsung Smart TVs powered by Tizen, a Linux-based operating system that currently supports over 200 million Samsung devices.

    The new platform was only quickly mentioned as part of the presentation, and so very little is known about it currently. “To diversify your game selection on Samsung Smart TVs, we are developing a new Cloud Game Platform,” said Yongjae Kim, Samsung’s Senior Vice President of Visual Display Software R&D. “This means that soon you will be able to enjoy games without purchasing high-end hardware, and developers can easily apply Samsung Smart TV’s seamless, immersive experience to new games.”

    No examples of game developers were provided, but the mention of the platform being an alternative to “high-end hardware” suggests that it is more in the realm of Stadia-style game offerings rather than Android game ports.

    This won’t be the first time that Samsung has attempted cloud gaming; back in 2012 it worked with Gaikai to create Samsung Cloud Gaming for its earlier generations of Smart TVs, with advertisements featuring Darksiders 2. For reference, Gaikai is the service that powers PlayStation Now, and is now owned by Sony.

    With its new platform, Samsung will enter the increasingly competitive world of cloud gaming. GeForce Now has a new subscription tier that offers the power of an RTX 3080, which truly is “high-end hardware”. Xbox is moving beyond consoles and will soon be built into TVs and streaming sticks as support for its cloud gaming option grows. Meanwhile, Google’s Stadia may be down but it’s not out, and now offers its technology as a white label product for other companies to use, including AT&T.

    Bill Murray Has a Secret Role In Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania

    In a recent interview with Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Bill Murray strongly hinted that he will be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe as part of the cast of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.

    Murray was speaking to Patrick Heidmann about his upcoming film The French Dispatch when he revealed that he "recently shot a Marvel movie," even though he was "probably not supposed to" to talk about it.

    "You know, I recently shot a Marvel movie. I'm probably not supposed to tell you, but whatever," Murray said, as translated from German to English by IGN. "But a few people were pretty surprised that I would decide on doing a project like this. But for me, the case was clear; I got to know the director – and I really liked him a lot.

    "He was funny, humble, everything you want in a director. So, I agreed to do it, even though these giant comic book productions don't usually interest me as an actor."

    While he didn't name Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania specifically, he did reveal that this unnamed director was the one who made Bring It On. For those unaware, the director in question is Peyton Reed, the director of the first two Ant-Man films and this upcoming one.

    This confirmation from Murray also follows a previous report from TheCosmicCircus that said a casting listing on Mandy.com stated that John Townsend was a photo double for Murray on a production called "Dust Bunny." This codename is said to be for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.

    Murray will not be the only newcomer to the film, as Lovecraft Country's Jonathan Majors will also be making his feature film debut in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.

    Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania was recently delayed from February 17, 2023 to July 28, 2023. It was one of the many MCU films hit by a schedule shift.

    For more, check out the creepy photo Peyton Reed shared to commemorate the first day of filming, IGN's top 15 Bill Murray films, how the ending of Loki may impact this new film, and why Evangeline Lilly thinks her character the Wasp is still an "enigma" after multiple movies.
