Feel Like Your In The Battle

After today's discussion in class I thought it would be perfect to share my feeling on the upcoming game Battlefield 3. Above I have inserted a twelve minute game play video, I don't expect you to watch the whole thing. But when you do pay special attention to detail. The voice, the scenery, the sound effects and especially the storyline. I know twelve minutes isn't a lot of time for a storyline but you will be amazed with how much you learn. In general first person shooters do lack this component.

Battlefield 3 and the new Call of Duty will be releasing the same week in November. I know that Battlefield 3 will be a better overall game play, but on paper Call of Duty will probably sell more copies and have a bigger impact because of its previous games. I am not saying that it will not be a good game but if your are looking for realistic Battlefield will be the best choice. Frostbite 2 productions have done an incredible amount of research and have done a brilliant job.

Wii Vs. Kinect

Microsoft's Xbox 360 has taken severe action to put the Nintendo Wii's Fit to its resting place. Xbox recently released a UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) Personal Trainer video game that can be played on the Kinect. In the game you will be personal trained as if you were a fighter in a gym. It gives you goals and motivation without holding a remote control. The player can customize their workout to suit their needs. For example if the player wants to lose weight, the game will set up a routine where this will be possible. This is the game that will turn all heads and make players think again before buying the Wii. Check out the video..

My First Video Game Encounters

As a child I played video games on multiple consoles including game-boy, pc, coleko and the first Nintendo. Out of those four, Nintendo made the biggest impact on me. I remember playing Duck Hunt and Super Mario non-stop!! At this time that gun was revolutionary to gaming world. This was incredible at the time of release. Now we have Xbox Kinect and Wi, look how far we have come.
I even remember when Game Genie was introduced! Game Genie was a device that attached to the console and helped you input codes for that game. Here is what it looked like...



Pretty Crazy!

L.A. Noire

From the makers of Grand Theft Auto, L.A. Noire is a newly released video game where new technology was put to use. The game plot is that you are an police officer in early 1900's in L.A. where you have too move up in rank. When I first saw the trailer to this game I was blown away by the characters facial expressions and voice. After a bit of research I soon found out that they used 32 High Definition cameras to capture one facial expression. Literally what ever the human actor/actress does is fully animated to the point where it almost looks real. This amazed me and made me buy the game the day it was released. Check it out for yourself!
