Thanks to the Oculus Rift and Razer Hydra, VR gaming is almost upon us. Indie developer ‘Teddy0k’ has posted a new video of his upcoming indie shooter/experimentation, HydraDeck: Cover Shooter, and we have to say that we were utterly impressed by it. Gaming will be entering a whole new level when Oculus Rift releases, and we cannot wait for it. The downside is that most players won’t be able to enjoy BF4 or other competitive shooters/games via this way for long periods of time. Still, the experience itself will be one of its kind. Enjoy!

Martin Escageda shared with us a live action film that is based on Nyu Media’s upcoming fighting game, Yatagarasu: Attack on Cataclysm. According to Martin, Nyu Media contacted him to create this live action short. While we acknowledge that a live action short based on a fighting game is quite challenging, we have to admit that we were let down by this movie’s first half. The second half – in which Martin Escageda tried to capture the game’s aesthetics – is better, though we’ve seen better. Still, it’s a good try so make sure to at least give it a go. Why you ask? Because despite its somehow disappointing end results, it’s pretty obvious that it took a lot of effort to create it. Enjoy! Continue reading Yatagarasu Gets A Live Action Short Film→

Kotaku has spotted an interesting new video, in which we get a taste of Sonic the Hedgehog in first person mode. This video is similar to the one that was made for Super Mario Bros, though we have to admit that this ‘Sonic’ version feels a bit off. To be honest, Sonic game in first person mode would simply not work, and this video proves that SEGA’s platformer is not meant to be played via any other viewpoint, aside from the classic side-scrolling one of course. Still, it’s a unique concept so go ahead and take a look at least! Continue reading Sonic the Hedgehog In First Person Mode→
Siggraph 2013 is currently under way and Nvidia has showcased some impressive cloud techniques that it is currently working on. During its presentation, Nvidia showed some cloud based indirect lighting techniques that could be used in next-gen titles. Before jumping to early conclusions, this is not similar to what Xbox One and PS4 will be doing. Nvidia will be using its machines to boost the lighting effects, meaning that this technique will improve a game’s visuals. Or at least that’s what the green team aims to. Enjoy the video after the jump! Continue reading Nvidia Showcases Cloud Based Indirect Lighting At Siggraph 2013→
