Assassin's Creed: Revelations

Posted Wednesday 1st February 2012 at 5:26 p.m. by matt

Tagged as: Game Reviews

The latest sequel and addition to the Assassin's Creed franchise is AC: Revelations. It still focus' on Ezio's tale, but with a twist. This time, Desmond is trapped within the Animus and only by reliving the memories of Ezio and Altair can he escape this cyber prison. That being said, Desmond and Altair are playable. Personally I had mixed reception of this game, I feel that this is simply prolonging the adventures of Ezio, and no longer bringing anything new to the table. There are obvious improvements to the game, but at the same time, there are unnecessary additions to this free-roam parkour assassin simulator. I am not saying this game is all bad, but rather, I enjoyed it a lot, I have more of a problem with the story, some odd content, and Desmond's bits.

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2011/07/asscreedrev.jpg

So to begin, I'll list my most enjoyable part of the game. The obvious improvement to running/parkour. Movement is so much more fluid then in the previous titles. In almost every situation, you are on the move. From the very beginning till the very end. Climbing animations have also been improved, and with the addition of the hook, one can access zip lines and higher ledges. There is so much to explore in Constantinople and so much to see. We played it on the PC, so I wouldn't know about the performance of the console counterparts, but with everything on maximum, the game looked awesome. Highly detailed, objects near and far, silhouettes of towers, churches and mosques in the distance, the Hagia Sophia being the most prominent building on the horizon.

That being said, in some cases, movement wasn't that enjoyable, most particularily in Desmond's moments, where platforms moving around constantly. The only thing you are really doing here is moving from portal to portal which leads to the memories of Ezio or Altair, and hearing Desmond talk about himself. Those moments where one controlled Altair were linear, they are more focused on the story, of what happened at Masyaf and brings closure to the aftermath to the first AC game, but don't offer that much new content.

http://dorkshelf.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads//2011/08/AssRev-pic-2.jpg

Just like in Brotherhood, Ezio recruits assassins which are sent out on contracts. This functions similarly to Brotherhood, in the sense that, instead of the Borgias, you take out the Templar's control over a city. Eventually, as an Assassin eventually gains enough experience and ranking, you can designate him the leader of a faction den and that opens up new missions. In some missions you can accompany newbie assassins as they try to get their target. I liked this feature because it showed Ezio actually taking more involvement with his Assassin brethren.

Now, the most poorly executed feature in Revelations is the attempt at tower defense. It is probably the most frustrating aspect of the game, camera angles arn’t that great and are in fact limiting, and there is this annoying zoom in on fallen enemies or allies. It isn’t complex, you simply place down barricades and assassins at the expense of morale, that being the currency.

http://cdn.zath.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Assassins-Creed-Revelations-Den-Defense-Gameplay-590x331.jpg

Another new feature is bomb crafting, as simple as it sounds. You find various of bits and pieces and you put them together to make functioning explosives. But in all honesty, i never got around to using them, there is simply no incentives, or practical use to them in combat. Difficulty of combat has increased since the last game, but its still centered around sword play. Range enemies are a minor annoyance, and like to hide behind cover, being out of melee range. Getting shot hurts, and i recommend against it. Combat flow is enjoyable and there are all the more kill animations.

I feel that i’ve covered a fair amount of the game, if i am forgetting something, other then the multiplayer, feel free to comment. I havn’t tried out the multiplayer and I do not intend to, as its difficult to review properly. Regardless it was an enjoyable game, but the story was lacking. The free roam parkour and exploration is really the center point of this game, and it does excell in the deliverance of this fun and unique feature.

Australia day!

Posted Thursday 26th January 2012 at 12:40 p.m. by matt

Tagged as: Announcements

Today should be a good day, the weather isn't too shabby. Rather humid though, but nevertheless it is a good day. We remember today the arrival of the first fleet in 1788, and the blossoming from that point on of the British Colonies. Do not forget what is important on this day, and that is the people of the Australian nation. Spend time with your family (or if you regard your friends as your family, then spend time with them too!), and keep in mind the luck you have in living in this prosperous nation. Next comes our duty as citizens, and ensuring the safety of our freedoms, and to remember our unique history, and our hardships.

Today is a day of unity, where people from various cultural backgrounds, and various religions, come together in a multicultural harmony. An important feature, I find, of Australia Day, is this social harmony, and the celebration of Australian multiculturalism, without whom Australia would be an entirely different place.

Regardless, I wish you all a great Australia day, and if you get tired of the heat, or want to spend some time with your mates, Confuciustech is open and welcoming of all.

A recap in Gaming, 2011.

Posted Tuesday 27th December 2011 at 3:57 p.m. by matt

Tagged as: Announcements

This year went by far to quickly, and we have seen the rise and fall of Gaming studios and games, some games were disappointments, where as others were surprisingly good. It was by far an interesting year because of the various ups and downs of certain events. One cannot deny that there was an impact on gaming, we have seen a rapid incline and popularity of Smartphone games and apps and the impact it has had on how video games are being seen by the public, this has also revealed to the public just what video games are like, I could remember there being negative statements from the media and politicians about video games, and no doubt, the R18 rating debate has had an impact on the image of video games, and gamers alike.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/3c/LA-Noire-Box-Art.jpg

So to recap, this year we have seen the release of a myriad of great games, such as Mass Effect 2, Magicka, Killzone 3, Rift, Dragon Age 2, Battlefield 3, Modern Warfare 3, Skyrim, Shogun 2, Crysis 2, Witcher 2, Alice: Madness Returns and Deus Ex: Human Revolution, just to name a few but there have been so many great games. Games this year have brought new things to the table, or just continued on with a previous formula, as well as provide innovative new engines such as Crytek and the Frostbite engine. Bethesda improved the Creation engine used for Skyrim, allowing greater distance renderings then Crysis, and introducing a ingame system where the game uses the player's gaming style to create challenges for the player.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/40/Witcher_2_cover.jpg

Story telling is another I keep an eye out for in video games, as i feel that it has become significant feature in the gaming medium. The need to tell a story is far more important then just flashy appearance or new features. Games with a compelling story line add more depth to the experience, a rememberable character or moment that makes the game worth playing, and goes a long way. A perfect example of this would have to be The Witcher 2, which has a great story line and fleshed out characters. Skyrim is a great game, but story wise, it isn't that involving or even consistent.

This year we also saw the rise of online stores, such as the massive growth of Steam, and EA trying to get in on the market with Origin. This has had an impact on gamers because this means that a lot of transactions are done online, and subsequently we are seeing a decline in retail stores that sell PC video games. We have also seen the rise of anti-piracy associated software, such as DRM (Digital Rights Management) in an attempt to protect intellectual property. This has also had an impact on gamers, take for instance Battlefield 3 and Origin, or Ubisoft/Windows Live games being limited until activated online where the consumer has to download the rest of the game. Online gaming is moving towards a cloud system, Steam and Origin are two I can name from the top of my head, but first, I'll define what a cloud system is, the core content of a game does not belong on your PC but rather is accessed from the Cloud server of a particular company, requiring a constant internet connection to play. It could be saving trivial things, such as in Team Fortress 2, your load out. The cloud system poses questions over ownership, are you really in control over what you buy, or are you simply buying a license to use a product?

http://edge.alluremedia.com.au/m/k/2010/11/ready_v063.jpg

A lot has happened this year, and we can only guess as to what's happening next year. Hopefully us Australian's gain the R18 rating we have been waiting and campaigning for, for so long now. I just wish that gamers in Australia get treated more with respect from the media and politicians. The gamer demographic has changed so much in the past few years, not all of us are children addicted to violence (as the media puts us to be), but rather, sensible and normal adults who are capable of making decisions for ourselves and that we don't need a nanny government.

Bastion

Posted Thursday 15th December 2011 at 1:27 p.m. by matt

Tagged as: Game Reviews

Every now and then I come across a breath of fresh air, and no I am not refering to the amount of time I spend indoors, but rather in regards to video games, Bastion to be exact, is this fresh air. Another Indie game which I have been meaning to play for a while now, but never could find the time, and now that I have lots of free time, i played it, and played it alot. Finished it once, then i finished it twice. I could not get enough of this game. I am beginning to find indie games are better quality then those behemoth gaming companies. Bastion is just plain amazing.

http://edge.alluremedia.com.au/m/k/2011/07/bastion-xbla-logo-640x325-600x304.jpg

The story line is simple, and this narrative style is one of my favourite things about this game. You are The Kid, who has awaken to find that the world around has fallen apart as you slept. You are still around because you happened to have a strange object in your vicinity, a piece of the Bastion. The Bastion being a floating island of refuge, but it has also fell apart. And it is your goal to get back all the cores to slowly rebuild the Bastion. The feature is story telling in this game, its rarely where you get your own narrator, and its from this narrator where you learn more about The Kid, and the ruined world.

This ruined world is wonderfully coloured, the bits that remain of course, ruined bridges, houses, shops, and various scenery. It builds as you get closer to it, and a fair amount of the world is destructible. It is easy to fall off of the floating floor, but it only did a small amount of damage to your health. The game is somewhat difficult, you will die, or be taken down to near death requiring you to do something drastic. Combat needs more thought to it, you need to prioritise your targets, small enemies attack in swarms, where as big enemies have small enemies running around them. You also need to take into consideration of the space around you, as the game world is constantly changing, enemies blow holes in the floor, or your attacks destroy terrain.

http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2011/10/bastion.jpg

You get a choice in what weapons you can use, the first few you encounter is a pistol, hammer, and sword, but you do unlock further weapons such as the bow. You can take upto two weapons, and one special move, which is an ability that gives you another ability that uses tonics to use. You can go on to upgrade said weapons to increase damage output, speed, or a special attack for that weapon. There are also minigames out there based on weapons which unlock further weapon upgrades or special items. There is also a leveling system where you unlock more slots for tonics, meaning you can use your special move more.

The world is expansive and it's beautiful appearance makes it worth exploring, levels do differ, posing new challenges. You are thrown into action straight away, and it doesn't get boring. The narrator keeps you company in your lonesome travels through the shattered world. I really enjoyed this game, and i recommend it to pretty much everyone, it can be found on steam. I've bought a large amount of indie games from steam, and as such will probably spend the next few weeks playing them. I wonder what the Baconing will be like.

Skyrim, Game of the Year?

Posted Wednesday 30th November 2011 at 12:55 p.m. by matt

Tagged as: Game Reviews

It might look like the prodigy to modern gaming, but does it play the way a prodigy to gaming would? By all means, this is a fun game, i enjoyed my short 40 hours in the world of Skyrim, but many things began to irk me as I progressed further through the game. And I could not help feeling disappointment in having such a high expectation for this game. In fact, it was the only game i was looking forward to this season. So i write this review as a fan boy of Bethesda, I like the company, they have made quality games in the past, and i was expecting a certain level of quality in Skyrim. This review might contain spoilers, in which case i will leave those points till last, and will mention it as well. Regardless, Skyrim is a good game, it's visuals, appealing. This written review will be indepth critical analysis of the game, where as my video review will focus on what i loved about my Skyrim experience, so i do recommend watching that review for all the good things with the game.

My rating for the game is 8.9 out of 10. I understand other people would rate it differently, I'd love to rate it higher, but this game is simply, not perfect. It is awesome, just not perfect.

http://cache.g4tv.com/ImageDb3/264624_S/Elder-Scrolls-5-Skyrim-Details-New-Magic-Combat-and-Perks.jpg

I'll start with introducing Skyrim. It is the next instalment to the Elder Scrolls Series which is set in the continent of Tamriel. The Empire was defeated some 30 in game years before the start of the events in Skyrim, by the Aldmeri Dominion, an Altmer faction which see themselves as the original rulers of this continent before Man came to it. The province of Skyrim has been plunged into civil war between the Imperial forces and the Stormcloak faction led by Ulfric Stormcloak. This civil was caused by the outlawing of the worship of Talos, a human God, and Patron of the Nords, also being the first Emperor, because it was on the condition in the peace treaty signed by the Imperials. You start the game as a prisoner just about to beheaded, when a dragon flies down from the mountain peaks above and disrupts the execution. From there the player goes through a tutorial where he emerges from the cave into skyrim as a free man, ready to pursue his ambitions.

Skyrim boasts, in my opinion, the best long distance rendering that i have ever seen. The horizon doesn't look like a flat painting, but it is an ingame location, and particularily a location you can step foot on. Playing on graphic card that should cover recommended specs, (i can only play on minimum without it causing overheat issues, crashing to desktop or the just plain annoying, black screen of death, for some odd reason), so i could not experience first hand the best graphics skyrim has to offer, luckily enough, I have friends who are also fans of Skyrim, and one thing i noticed when looking at a comparison between high and low settings is that there is little difference in textures, and shadows. Atleast the shadows were being generated properly, i said to myself, as i stared at my computer struggling to make proper shadows. Not to sound like I'm complaining, it did look great. Models were finely detailed, dragons looked bad ass, character models were high res. There was obviously more work put into models then terrain. Textures (atleast on my setting) of trees, water, rocks, buildings, didn't look that great up close, at a distance though, they faired better. I wasn’t impressed by these textures, it was like looking at a retextured Oblivion, New Vegas looked better.

http://media1.gameinformer.com/imagefeed/featured/bethesda/elderscrolls/elderscrollsvoverflow/review/firestormss4.jpg

To fit Skyrim on the 360 disc, it was heavily compressed, that being said, this compression of textures, meshes, and sound, does affect the quality. The game compensates for this by generating higher detailed textures as you approach them, and as you walk away the textures lose quality. Distance generation can be modified, something rare for a console port, in fact, having the ability to change visual settings already has made this one of the best console ports i've played. Which brings me to the next point, because it is a console port, this game has a fair amount of bugs and technical issues when dealing with the PC or ps3 copy. Just to launch the game, i had to change my default sound setting, and only then could i start the game. My first experience with Skyrim wasn't very enjoyable, as it remained unplayable for three days after release. I was plagued by constant crashes whenever I looked at the map, or it would hit me randomly within a few minutes to half an hour of playing the game, requiring me to hard reset my computer. I am unaware of what could be causing this, as it is only happening with Skyrim. Another issue in regards to visuals i was experiencing, was character models flashing, and flashing shadows. These graphic bugs did ruin immersion and the gameplay experience.

Another feature that Skyrim boasts is the huge broad range of things to do. I am a person who does enjoy doing things just as much as any other guy, but it got to a tedius point in Skyrim. Once you manage to become the head of almost every faction you come across, there is no real sense of accomplishment and this does not impact on the game. Even as Harbinger of the Companions, all i got was quests in regards to pest control, as Listener of the Dark Brotherhood, I got contracts which i guess... is alright, for Mage’s guild and Thieve’s guild, fetching quests. What surprised me was how short these major quest chains were, you rise from being the new guy to the highest position available in a few in game days, or a few quests. This is, what i believe, is the price to pay for having unlimited quests and a huge variety of things to do. There is no real choice in matters, and even then, your choices lack depth, despite being the last dragonborn, people arn’t aware of your presence, their dispositions don’t change when you become the leader of a faction, or even finish the main story line, not even a statue. Again, Oblivion and Fallout 3 delivered more in regards of quests and story then Skyrim did.

http://cdn.gamefront.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/sky15.jpg

Skyrim is also the first Elder Scrolls game that uses the companion feature, taken from New Vegas, and in all honesty, it isn’t that great. Companions always get in the way, give your position away, and most of the time die at your hands. Pathfinding is mediocre, and the only real use i found for companions is as a mule to carry all my things. I stayed away from using companions, but in a short space of time, that being said, 5-6 hours, i did run around with Lydia as a companion, as well as Cicero. This brings me onto combat. Skyrim hasn’t improved much on the Oblivion combat system, the only major change to combat is the addition of death animations. Combat is better in Fallout 3 and in New Vegas, I was even expecting the damage allocation system to be introduced into the Elder Scrolls series, after all, shouldn’t an arrow to the head do more damage then an arrow to the shoulder? Combat is bland, there is no strategy, and enemy AI just runs at you and swing their weapons, if they have a bow or ranged magic, they do stand in the distance, but even then I have had occasions where these range enemies run at me head on.

The major difference between Skyrim and earlier Elder Scroll games is the removal of the stat system, and the introduction of the perk system. Each skill has a specific perk tree which improve upon that skill. This i found was an interesting addition, when the player leveled he/she gained a perk, and a choice to increase their health, mana, or stamina by 10 points. There is an addition of some skills, such as smithing, Speech accomodates both mercentile and speechcraft skill. As mentioned earlier, these trees build on the skill, for combat skills they add more kill animations, more damage, etc, same with shields, and armour. There are 251 perks in game, and 18 skills between them. There is a soft cap for the perks past 50, so you only get to allocate around that many perks. They have made it simpler then previous games, in the sense of skill allocation and leveling up. It means that the character starts as a blank state, and can be specialised in a specific direction.

http://www.cheatcc.com/imagesps3/elderscrolls5skyrim_0c.jpg

The Ui in game resembles that of Apple products, it is tedious to work with on the pc versions of the game, as half the time the mouse was not being registered, and scrolling through the list does require some getting used to. It was a bid to make the ui simplified and efficient, and it is, i cannot argue with the result. It is aesthetically pleasing, it doesn’t suite the game though. For example, the journal has been simplified into a list of objectives, with no added information or fluff to it, this is a break from the Elder Scrolls tradition as the games were centered around fluff and lore.

This game had potential, but i cannot get past that feeling that Skyrim is a rushed console port. In which case, I would like to play it the way it was meant to be played, that is, on the Xbox, but after experiencing so much of the game, i cannot go back to it. In the minimal time i got a chance to play, i did experience the game with a mage, a rogueish character, and a warrior base character. Skyrim is one of those games where I recommend having multiple play throughs as a different type of character and not to do everything available on the first play through, the world is mean’t to be constantly thriving, things happen on the other side of the map from you, and you do experience events which, in all honesty, were awe inspiring. The game itself is a brilliant idea, but the execution could of been improved. I was hoping for a game that would create a new benchmarks for RPGs and open world games, sadly, it didn’t. This is one disappointed Elder Scrolls fan.

3RD Space Digital Camo FPS Gaming Vest Large With Duke Nukem Forever Support

Posted Saturday 12th November 2011 at 4:55 p.m. by Terryz

Tagged as: Products News

http://www.mittoni.com.au/images/TN-Vest-Camoi.jpghttp://www.mittoni.com.au/images/TN-Vest-Camo.jpg

The 3rd Space Vest revolutionizes the way people play video games and redefines the concept of interactive entertainment. Get pounded with body slams and blasted by gun fire - the 3rd Space Vests from TN Games take gameplay beyond sight and sound, creating spatial awareness of the world your character inhabits!

Unlike traditional force feedback products, the 3rd Space Vest is an impact generating device that gives you precise pressure where it happens, as it happens. TN Games impact-generating technology utilizes a lightweight and durable air compressor to fire the 3rd Space Vests 8 fully customizable pneumatic cells, with each cell capable of delivering up to 10 pounds of force. The pneumatic cells fire at their own rate, force and duration, allowing the wearer to feel a wide array of sensory experiences, from crushing explosions to fear-inducing finger taps.

You'll experience amped reality with the 3rd Space Vest and notice a huge increase in your Situational Awareness - the cells are designed to simulate direction and force, so you'll always know where your opponent is. As soon as you feel a hit, you'll naturally turn in that direction, enabling you to stay alive, return fire and dominate the fight! In game, should you be shot from the back right, you'll feel the impact in that location - giving you the ability to counter the threat immediately, with no more spinning turns while you try and work out where you're being hit from! All that time your opponent worked on their flanking move, or got behind you, is now wasted! Online gaming, in particular, is no longer a "fair and level" playing field. This vest gives you the awareness you need to be #1 on any given game server - your competitors will probably think you're cheating, such will be the swiftness and accuracy of your defensive counter moves!

Easy installation - just install the driver, plug in the vest to an available USB port (For PC), put it on and get pounded! The 3rd Space Vest comes in two highly adjustable sizes ensuring a comfortable, custom fit (Note: The snugger the fit, the better and more realistic the effects will feel) and is available in both Black (for that awesome SWAT team look) and Digital Camo (similar to the U.S Army's Universal Camouflage Pattern).

The 3rd Space Vest is highly adjustable in terms of fit and two sizes are available to accommodate almost any variation in body size. The goal is to have the vest fit as snug as is comfortable for the user - the snugger the fit, the better and more realistic the effects will feel.

Included PC Game Titles:

  • Call Of Duty 2.
  • 3rd Space Incursion.

Popular Supported PC Game Titles:

The 3rd Space Vest revolutionizes the way people play video games and redefines the concept of interactive entertainment. Get pounded with body slams and blasted by gun fire - the 3rd Space Vests from TN Games take gameplay beyond sight and sound, creating spatial awareness of the world your character inhabits!

Unlike traditional force feedback products, the 3rd Space Vest is an impact generating device that gives you precise pressure where it happens, as it happens. TN Games impact-generating technology utilizes a lightweight and durable air compressor to fire the 3rd Space Vests 8 fully customizable pneumatic cells, with each cell capable of delivering up to 10 pounds of force. The pneumatic cells fire at their own rate, force and duration, allowing the wearer to feel a wide array of sensory experiences, from crushing explosions to fear-inducing finger taps.

You'll experience amped reality with the 3rd Space Vest and notice a huge increase in your Situational Awareness - the cells are designed to simulate direction and force, so you'll always know where your opponent is. As soon as you feel a hit, you'll naturally turn in that direction, enabling you to stay alive, return fire and dominate the fight! In game, should you be shot from the back right, you'll feel the impact in that location - giving you the ability to counter the threat immediately, with no more spinning turns while you try and work out where you're being hit from! All that time your opponent worked on their flanking move, or got behind you, is now wasted! Online gaming, in particular, is no longer a "fair and level" playing field. This vest gives you the awareness you need to be #1 on any given game server - your competitors will probably think you're cheating, such will be the swiftness and accuracy of your defensive counter moves!

Easy installation - just install the driver, plug in the vest to an available USB port (For PC), put it on and get pounded! The 3rd Space Vest comes in two highly adjustable sizes ensuring a comfortable, custom fit (Note: The snugger the fit, the better and more realistic the effects will feel) and is available in both Black (for that awesome SWAT team look) and Digital Camo (similar to the U.S Army's Universal Camouflage Pattern).

The 3rd Space Vest is highly adjustable in terms of fit and two sizes are available to accommodate almost any variation in body size. The goal is to have the vest fit as snug as is comfortable for the user - the snugger the fit, the better and more realistic the effects will feel.
