Amazon Australia’s Sydney fulfilment centre is about to open

Amazon officially launched in Australia back in December 2017 and since then, they’ve been working hard to grow marketshare in Australia. The online retailer is growing the product offerings across dozens of categories including technology, gadgets, entertainment and clothing.

One of the most exciting parts of Amazon coming to Australia was their focus on customer experience and fast delivery times, as compared to the widely varied courier services currently in place across Australia.

As demand grows, Amazon’s distribution network needs to expand. After being announced the Sydney distribution warehouse was acquired back in May, we can confirm the new location in Moorebank, NSW is about to be operational, with Amazon emailing distributors to request they add the new location to their systems.

The new location is a massive 43,000 square metres in size and importantly is located close to M5 and M7 motorways. If you’re in NSW, or even the northern half of Australia, it’s likely many of your products from Amazon will now ship through here, rather than the long way round, through Melbourne.

Internationally Amazon offer same day deliveries in large cities and armed with a bunch of robots and great new real estate, that may be on the cards soon for Australia’s biggest city.

Dead Space 4 would've dropped linear gameplay for a pseudo open world

Visceral Games is dead and that almost certainly means that Dead Space  is dead. The talented EA subsidiary made a name for itself with Dante's Inferno  and the Dead Space franchise -- the latter much more than the former. Toward the end of Visceral's history, EA had the studio working on ventures that should've been more profitable: Battlefield  and Star Wars . Neither worked out particularly well and that's all she wrote. That doesn't stop us from wondering what could've been with regard to another Dead Space  game. Eurogamer chatted with former Visceral creative director Ben Wanat (now at Crystal Dynamics) to get a better idea of what might've been in store for a fourth installment. One thing is abundantly clear: Visceral had ideas. Maybe the most stark departure that Wanat mentions is that Dead Space 4  would've likely pivoted away from a linear, chapter-based structure. Instead, Wanat describes something that sounds like a pseudo open world. &q

Epic quickly nerfs the new 'Fortnite' SMG after complaints

Image
The v5.10 Fortnite update that brought back our beloved Playground mode also added something else -- this new gun. Unfortunately, the "high capacity, fast firing Compact SMG" was just a little too overpowered, and many high-profile players quickly complained that it made the game a race to get the SMG so one could chew through their enemies (and their buildings, as the starting and max health of many materials dropped at the same time). While Epic has been up front about wanting to make the endgame more exciting and less focused on build-offs as it pushes for esports viability , this particular tweak may have gone too far. As a result, the company quickly lowered the accuracy, range and damage done by the new gun and existing SMGs. Check below for the (now-live) adjusted SMG values, and a few clips of the gun at work as it existed prior to the nerf.
