![]() Merchandise includes artwork, clothing, toys, and prop replicas, as well as the games' soundtracks, including a heavy metal album, Blood & Metal (2010), featuring original music by various bands who were inspired by the series. A film adaptation of the original installment had been in development but was ultimately canceled however, a television series adaptation of the Norse era is in development for Amazon Prime Video. Strong sales and support of the series led to the franchise's expansion into other media, such as three comic book series and three novels. As of June 2023, the franchise has sold an estimated 65 million games worldwide, and is Sony's most profitable brand. Some games have also been remastered for newer PlayStation platforms. The series has received numerous awards, including several Game of the Year recognitions for the 20 installments. Games in the series have been praised as some of the best action games of all time. A sequel, Ragnarök, was released in November 2022 on the PS4 and PlayStation 5 (PS5) and concluded the Norse era. It was accompanied by a short prequel, A Call from the Wilds (2018), a text-based game through Facebook Messenger. The Norse era began with the 2018 game God of War and released for the PlayStation 4 (PS4) and later Windows in January 2022. Other games include Chains of Olympus (2008) and Ghost of Sparta (2010) for the PlayStation Portable (PSP) and Betrayal (2007) for mobile phones that supported the Java Platform, Micro Edition (Java ME). A prequel, Ascension (2013), was also released for the PS3. God of War (2005), God of War II (2007), and God of War III (2010) comprise its main trilogy the first two were released on the PS2 with the third on the PlayStation 3 (PS3). The first seven games make up the Greek era of the franchise. Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) has published all games except the mobile phone installment, which was published by Sony Pictures Digital. Santa Monica has developed all main entries, while Ready at Dawn and Javaground/ Sony Online Entertainment-Los Angeles (SOE-LA) developed the three side games. ![]() The Greek-based games see Kratos follow a path of vengeance due to the machinations of the Olympian gods, while the Norse-based games, which introduced his son Atreus as a secondary protagonist, show an older Kratos on a path of redemption and inadvertently coming into conflict with the Norse gods. This sets off a series of events that leads to wars with the different mythological pantheons. Based on ancient mythologies, the story follows Kratos, a Spartan warrior and later the Greek God of War, who was tricked into killing his family by his former master, the original Greek God of War Ares. ![]() It began in 2005 on the PlayStation 2 (PS2) video game console and has become a flagship series for PlayStation, consisting of nine installments across multiple platforms. Hades for Xbox Series S runs at 4K at a target 60fps.God of War is an action-adventure game franchise created by David Jaffe at Sony's Santa Monica Studio. Hades is currently available on PC and Switch, and launches for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, and Xbox One on August 13. The Switch version did get cross-save support not long after its launch, so here’s hoping it’s eventually added to PlayStation and Xbox as well. Meanwhile, Supergiant also states that unlike the game’s Nintendo Switch version, it will not support cross-saves with PC. There’s no word on what resolution and frame rate it will target on the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X. Meanwhile, on both PS4 and Xbox One, it will target a 1080p resolution and 60 frames per second. In an update on Twitter, the developer confirms that that does include the Xbox Series S as well. ![]() On PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, developer Supergiant Games confirms that it will target 4K and 60 FPS. Hades is launching soon for PlayStation and Xbox across both generations in less than two months, but what exactly can players expect from it in terms of frame rate and resolution? ![]() Fans have been waiting for Hades – one of 2020’s best games – to release for PlayStation and Xbox, and that was finally confirmed recently. ![]()

In collaboration with E-Mu, they developed a Mac-based visual sample editing system for the Emulator II keyboard, called Sound Designer, released under the Digidesign brand and inspired by the interface of the Fairlight CMI. When Apple released its first Macintosh computer in 1984, the pair thought to design a more functional and flexible solution which could take advantage of a graphical interface. The chips, easily switchable with the original ones, enjoyed remarkable success between the Drumulator users, selling 60,000 units overall. Five different upgrade chips were available, offering different alternate drum styles. They started selling the upgrade chips one year later under their new Digidrums label. The Drumulator was quite popular at that time, although it was limited to its built-in samples. ![]() In 1983, the two friends, sharing an interest in music and electronic and software engineering, decided to study the memory mapping of the newly released E-mu Drumulator drum machine to create EPROM sound replacement chips. Pro Tools was developed by UC Berkeley graduates Evan Brooks, who majored in electrical engineering and computer science, and Peter Gotcher. Later in 2022, Avid launched a free version: Pro Tools Intro. New users have to choose between three new plans: Pro Tools Artist, which costs $9.99 per month or $99 per year Pro Tools Studio, which costs $39.99 per month or $299 per year and Pro Tools Flex, which costs $99.99 per month or $999 per year. In 2022, Avid switched Pro Tools from a perpetual license to a subscription model. The software and the audio engine were adapted to 64-bit architecture from version 11. Current HDX hardware systems, HD Native and native systems use 32-bit floating-point resolution for plug-ins and 64-bit floating-point summing. The Pro Tools TDM mix engine, supported until 2011 with version 10, employed 24-bit fixed-point arithmetic for plug-in processing and 48-bit for mixing. ![]() It features time code, tempo maps, elastic audio, and automation supports mixing in surround sound, Dolby Atmos and VR sound using Ambisonics. Pro Tools has incorporated video editing capabilities, so users can import and manipulate high-definition video file formats such as XDCAM, MJPG-A, PhotoJPG, DV25, QuickTime, and more. The legacy SDII format was dropped with Pro Tools 10, although SDII conversion is still possible on macOS. It imports and exports MOV video files and ADM BWF files (audio files with Dolby Atmos metadata) it also imports MXF, ACID and REX files and the lossy formats MP3, AAC, M4A, and audio from video files ( MOV, MP4, M4V). Pro Tools supports mixed bit depths and audio formats in a session: BWF/ WAV (including WAVE Extensible, RF64 and BW64) and AIFF. 16-bit, 24-bit, and 32-bit float audio bit depths at sample rates up to 192 kHz are supported. Audio effects, virtual instruments, and hardware emulators-such as microphone preamps or guitar amplifiers-can be added, adjusted, and processed in real-time in a virtual mixer. Like all digital audio workstation software, Pro Tools can perform the functions of a multitrack tape recorder and a mixing console along with additional features that can only be performed in the digital domain, such as non-linear and non-destructive editing (most of audio handling is done without overwriting the source files), track compositing with multiple playlists, time compression and expansion, pitch shifting, and faster-than-real-time mixdown.Īudio, MIDI, and video tracks are graphically represented on a timeline. The DSP is used to provide additional processing power to the host computer for processing real-time effects, such as reverb, equalization, and compression and to obtain lower latency audio performance. Pro Tools operates both as standalone software and in conjunction with a range of external analog-to-digital converters and PCIe cards with on-board digital signal processors (DSP). ![]() It is used for music creation and production, sound for picture ( sound design, audio post-production and mixing) and, more generally, sound recording, editing, and mastering processes.

The single objective-based design could decrease the costs up to 12.5% whereas multi-objective approach was able to reach nearly 30% cost saving with higher level of the safety against cavitation. The results showed that multi-objective optimization approach presents better designs than the single objective approach and optimal designs obtained by both approaches outperform the current setup of the water hammer facilities in terms of both costs and functionality. Optimization was carried out on two single- and multi-objective approaches. Then, ANN was coupled with an evolutionary algorithm (EA), Differential Evolution (DE) to find the optimal size and location of water hammer control devices in a water pipeline. According to the results, SVR was identified as the inferior method due to low capability of generalization, ANFIS as the median, and ANN as the superior method for function approximation. The accuracy of three meta models: artificial neural network (ANN), support vector regression (SVR) and adaptive neuro-fussy inference system (ANFIS) was evaluated. ![]() ![]() In this paper, the simulation task was carried out by meta modeling. An economic design of these devices that also provides the safety of the pipeline against water hammer pressure waves and cavitation can be achieved by simulation and optimization tools. To decrease the negative effects of pressure waves, costly equipment are implemented in pipelines. Positive and negative pressure waves caused by water hammer possibly may lead to high damages to the water conveyance pipelines. ![]() ![]() Who was your favourite companion from Pillars of Eternity?

And new companions have been added that haven't been seen before, such as Maya Rua, Kana Rua's sister from the previous game." Resilient Companion is a talent in Pillars of Eternity. "We're really excited about that, as for pacing, we've kind of tried to take control of like combat and really make sure the combat feels intense and that choices really matter in them, and maybe even take a few steps to make sure that every choice that you do in combat feels good and make sure that all of our encounters are really well placed, really well set, and really feel good to interact with."Ĭarver went on to add that even though it's a new environment, three companions from the original game will make a return: "Everyone's favourite Edér, as well as the wizard Aloth, and Pallegina from the Vailian Trading Company.

![]() ![]() Chevron, a multinational energy company with headquarters in California, had a crude oil refining capacity that handled 1.8 billion barrels of crude oil per day worldwide. In 2020, 2.8 billion barrels of crude oil were transported by pipelines to refineries throughout the United States. The most common mode of transportation for their domestic crude oil refining was via pipelines. The North American country has consistently maintained the largest oil refinery capacity across the globe. In 2021, oil refinery capacity in the United States amounted to approximately 17.9 million barrels per day, while the actual refinery throughput was 17.5 million barrels of oil per day. Global oil demand rebounded in 2021 from its Covid-induced historic decline and while demand is set to keep increasing in the immediate years, its longer-term outlook is uncertain because of challenges from alternative fuels and changing behaviour of drivers and commuters. However, the refinery throughput worldwide was over 79 million barrels of oil per day. As of 2021, the total global refinery capacity for crude oil was some around 101 million barrels per day. The global refinery capacity for crude oil has been steadily increasing since 1970. Common oil refinery products include diesel fuel, heating oil, and gasoline. ![]() Oil refineries process crude oil into more useful products. This marked an increase of 8.7 from 2020 (reflected by Change in the table below). Worldwide, the increase in gold has slowed since 2016, due in part to the fact that the “easy gold,” or easily accessible gold, is has already been mined.The United States had the world’s largest oil refinery capacity as of 2022, at nearly 18.1 million barrels of oil per day. The United States remains the world's top oil consumer, averaging 18.7 million BPD in 2021. Tunisia Crude Oil: Production data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by CEIC Data. The data reached an all-time high of 77.981 in Apr 2021 and a record low of -39.426 in Apr 2020. This is due to the government’s tighter environmental policies. Tunisia Crude Oil: Production data is updated monthly, averaging 0.000 from Jan 2001 to Mar 2023, with 267 observations. China is experiencing a downtrend in production, with 2018’s production being 6% less than in 2017. The largest gold-producing countries in the world are:Ĭhina is currently the world’s largest producer of gold, producing 399.7 tonnes of gold in 2018 and accounting for 12% of the global mine production. The world’s gold production affects the price of gold based on the law of supply and demand. The country possesses 17 percent of the worlds proven petroleum reserves and is. Gold production remains vital around the world. Saudi Arabias oil output came in at 12,144,000 bpd in 2022. ![]() Gold also receives a demand from exchange traded funds (ETFs), which hold the gold and issue shares that investors can buy and sell. During times of recession or economic uncertainty, investors often turn to investing in gold because of its enduring value, protecting against currency devaluation or inflation. Jewelry accounts for about half of gold demand, while the rest is from investment demand and industrial uses. After falling from its 1970 peak of 11.3 million B/D, it reached a historic low of 6.8 million B/D in 2008.However, following a turnaround in the 2010s, the country has since surpassed Saudi Arabia as the largest oil producer. Throughout history, gold has been of great value to humans, inspiring gold rushes and leading to wars.Īs of November 2019, gold is valued at $1,500 per ounce. oil production has been on a rollercoaster of troughs and peaks. It is believed that gold mining has been done for almost 7,000 years and that the Egyptians were the first to smelt gold around 3,600 B.C. ![]() |
