    Black Ops III - New Player Control

    Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is set to stand apart from other titles in the COD due to the new player control system on new-gen Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

    That's according to directors Dan Bunting and Jason Blundell, who recently outlined some of the changes being introduced in BO3.

    Player's will have the renewed focus of staying peeled for combat situations, while map movement is another aspect of the game Treyarch have sought to revise.

    And while Black Ops will continue to offer some of the classic level structure that has become a hallmark of the brand, set-piece fire-fight situations, it will also push to bring challenges to how the enemy movement and the layout work together.

    "We still push people into choke points and constrain heights, but we wanted to give players an extended mastery curve, to expand the upper limits of how they learn movement through the map,” Bunting reveals in the latest issue of Edge magazine.

    “We automate a lot of things. We let players concentrate on the combat; everything else is fluid – it sublimates to a primal part of your brain."

    Campaign director Jason Blundell added: "With the greatest reverence and respect for [Call of Duty], sometimes the tactic is just left trigger, right trigger, dead.

    “With some of our new AI archetypes, that won’t be viable. We’ve also opened up the spaces, so you need much better situational awareness.” 

    We already know that core game mechanics have need to be overhauled to make way for four-player co-op and a move away from the traditional enemies seen in COD.

    And it looks to be the ideal time to evolve the franchise away from what fans will most likely expect from the traditional Call of Duty experience, what with the extra power supplied in the Xbox One and PS4.

    Treyarch studio head Mark Lamia recently explained some of the finer points of centering the campaign on a co-op experience, revealing that an emergent AI was needed to supply the same trademark battle situations, along with the altered interplaying game-style fixed for the campaign.

    "For us it was critical because we soon as we decided to make a co-op game, but yet we needed to make it feel like a Call of Duty game.." Lamia explained.

    "It has to actually adapt and respond and there has to be emergent AI in those situations."

      Amidst the dark and eerie night
      A choice to make – to run or fight?
      The undead horde approaches fast
      Armed with weapons, till the very last
      In Call of Duty: World at War - Zombies
      The battle for survival never ceases
      A test of skill, courage and wits
      As waves of zombies just never quits
      Blood-soaked grounds and a burning sky
      The stakes are high, the danger nigh
      But in this game, we rise above
      To conquer the undead with brute, tough love
      With finger on the trigger and heart in hand
      We face the terror, and take a stand
      For in this game, we live or die
      With Call of Duty: World at War - Zombies, we must survive.

    • Halloween season is almost upon us, and if you're looking to dress up as the Resident Evil movie's in-over-his-head courier, Bryan (played by Austin Abrams), then here's a checklist of everything you need to pull off the Raccoon City look. Fortunately, Bryan's look is surprisingly easy to pull off, as director Zach Cregger and costume designer Caroline Fahrer settled on an outfit that's grounded in the real world, will keep you warm on a chilly night, and can probably handle a few bites from any citizens who have come down with a bad case of the T-Virus. As detailed by Resident Evil News, dressing up as Bryan requires sourcing a few brand-name items and scuffing them up. The actor's main clothing consists of RVCA fatigue pants, a deep yellow plaid shirt and grey hoodie from New Yorker, and Nike Jordan Spizke low sneakers that'll need some customization. For the medical bag, if your local hospital doesn't want to sell you one, the official popcorn bag should do the trick. https://twitter.com/RENews_X/status/2104728868162826249 The devil is in the details, so to really sell the idea that you've been through hell and back, you'll need to do some distressing on the outfit. For example, the thumbs on the gloves were cut off and replaced with stitches, and to scuff up the pants, you can use sandpaper to wear them down. Fake blood will seal the deal, and you can easily make a bucket of the stuff with corn syrup and food coloring to nail the viscosity--a word of caution: it can be very sticky once applied. Dribble the concoction on your costume, get some friends to chuck massive water balloons at you as you sprint down a deserted street, and you'll be ready to win a few Halloween contests. After two weeks at the box office, Resident Evil has scared up some impressive numbers. The film kicked off its run by breaking the record for the biggest opening weekend in the franchise, and so far, it has made more than  $100 million at the North American box office, beating the record that had previously been set by 2010's Resident Evil: Afterlife ($60 million). Currently, it's the fourth highest-grossing live-action Resident Evil movie so far, and it's getting closer to usurping 2016’s Resident Evil: The Final Chapter ($312 million) as the highest-grossing film in the series. Strangely, the movie has only had a "moderate" effect on Resident Evil game sales, as the movie reenergized the existing fanbase and pumped up engagement for the franchise in September.

    • If you've been playing Medieval vampire RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker and you're wondering why you're having a hard time during the day, as a human, versus as at night as a vampire, then don't worry: you're experiencing the game as intended. It's not supposed to be balanced, apparently. Read more View the full article
