| New Kinect Game Teaches You How to Defend Yourself Posted: 05 Oct 2011 05:57 AM PDT There have already been a handful of fitness games released for Kinect, including one — UFC Personal Trainer — that lets you get in shape using exercises inspired by real-life mixed martial artists. Ubisoft seems to have found a new niche in the physical fitness space and will look to capitalize on it this holiday with a game that teaches you self-defense. The simply-titled Self-Defense Training Camp was announced today and will be out in North America on November 8. It’s exclusively coming to Xbox 360 and requires Kinect. It contains workouts and self-defense drills divided up into four categories: technique, reflexes, composure, and stamina. In addition to minigames that will help to (hopefully) improve your reflexes, also included are “meditative forms of exercise” intended to keep you calm in stressful situations. Judging by the trailer, you’ll be doing things like sparring and learning how to throw knees and stop someone from strangling you. Hopefully it’s not the sort of skill that will ever prove to be useful in life, but it probably couldn’t hurt to be prepared.

Developed using actual war experience and tactics provided by military personnel, Honorable Duty Online is the one and only MMOFPS which will have the People’s Liberation Army as the core team. Similar to most shooters, there will be various PvP modes available, including story mode PvE ones going against hostile units, most probably terrorists. The game is said to be going public so as to heighten the younger generation’s interests in the People’s Liberation Army. With that said, don’t expect Honorable Duty Online to hit the English market. I will be really, really surprised if it does. Posted by: admin in Gaming News Thank you for Visiting Gameforumer.com, Hope you enjoyed the stay with us. |
| Rage Suffering From a Variety of Launch Day Issues on PC Posted: 04 Oct 2011 05:51 PM PDT Rage was released on PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 today, and while the latter two platforms seem to be enjoying a largely playable game, there have been a plethora of issues for PC gamers to deal with. That comes as somewhat of a surprise given this is a game from id Software — the developer responsible for first-person shooter classics like Doom, Quake, and Wolfenstein. While its roots might be in PC, Rage is a more console-focused game (although the PC version looks much prettier, as one would expect). Unfortunately, there have been countless complaints on PC about crashing, texture pop-in, and poor framerates, among other things. The issue of crashing is being attributed to drivers for those with ATI/AMD cards. Bethesda’s Pete Hines explained on Twitter that the beta drivers intended to improve Battlefield 3 performance are causing a 100% crash-to-desktop rate. On the Bethesda blog, it’s noted that the AMD drivers it encouraged people to install just yesterday are now causing problems and should not be used. Issues with lag and extremely poor texture pop-in (to the point where it appears that every texture is forgotten as soon as it falls outside of your field-of-view) are reportedly fixed to a large extent for AMD users with a new set of drivers released this afternoon. Other issues seem to remain unsolved, such as field-of-view issues, lag spikes, missing textures, and other crashes. Hopefully these will continue to be resolved as people update their drivers to the appropriate ones and id patches the game. Even as the problems are resolved, though, it’s hard not to be frustrated that another PC game launch is suffering from so many issues. It appears to simply be par for the course at this point, but to be fair, the driver issues can’t be blamed on id or Bethesda. Let us know if you’re experiencing any issues and if you’ve managed to find any solutions for them in the comments.
