They didn’t closed the road for vehicles because they saw that there are two PokeStops and thought “This would be a nice place for people to play Pokemon Go”. The officials noticed that a lot of people were gathering there and asked them why. And because a lot of people are gathering there two weeks after Pogemon Go…

The next two bridges are literally less than 150m away from it. The roads on the sides of the river are both one-way roads and not main roads. The only reason why you would drive on a road close to that bridge would be because

I doubt that it will disrupt any traffic. The next two bridges are less than 150m away from it in both directions.

Nvidia will be talking about the next Tegra chip at the Hot Chips Conference at August 22th. http://www.hotchips.org/program/ So there is a good chance that it will be used in the NX.

Nintendo probably just doesn’t want to produce 5 different packagings because of all the different power plugs we have across Europe.

yeah, don’t assume that it will only take some days unil your submission was reviewed. I submitted a few when it was still possible in Ingress. It took them around 3 months for each one until I got a response. I am pretty sure that they will assign more reviewer to Pokemon go because a lot more people are playing it,…

I think when talking about game preservation (or software preservation in gerneral), you have to differentiate between two different challenges.

This is exaclty how they did it. I checked it, the locations, pictures and descriptions of Pokestops are the same as of portals in Ingress.

I guess all problems they fixed were iOS specific. The whole login process works differently on Android because your Google account is already integrated into Android. Logging in with your Google account is litteraly just pressing a button.

To be fair, I think it is currenlty not possible for Niantic to give any release date for new regions. Their data center team is probably in crisis mode trying to upscale the servers as fast as possible. And there is no reason to release it in more regions before the servers can handle more load, anything else would…

As an European i can confirm this. I had no issues that could not be solved by just restarting the app so far. Although I noticed that it runs a little bit better in the morning, when the US players are still sleeping.

I honestly didn’t remember that the article mentions Nvidia in the first sentence. I guess that would be a valid reason to mention AMD too. But Vulkan being build upon AMD’s Mantle API alone isn’t.

And that matters why? When talking about OpenGL we also don’t mention Silicon Graphics (OpenGL is build upon Silicon Graphics’ IRIS GL) and we don’t mention Bell Laboratories when talking about MacOS (MacOS is build upon Bell Labs’ Unix). Mentioning AMD would only confuse some readers and cause them to think Vulkan is…

Why should it? The Vulkan API isn’t AMD exclusive, it works on newer hardware of various manufacturers like AMD, Nvidia and Intel.

Niantic added some features like missions, where players have to visit multiple landmarks and perform certain ingame tasks to get points, or the option to play a small mini game instead of just pressing a button to get more loot at a landmark. But they never had a “big” update that changed the core mechanics of the…

Actually there is some sponsorship in Ingress. For example Vodafone (a cell phone carrier) paid Niantic to add all their stores in Germany as portals to the game. There are also sponsored items like the AXA (an
insurance company) shield.

I am pretty sure that mass events will come to Pokemon Go eventually, Niantic has a lot of experience in organizing them from Ingress.
