‘Crysis Remastered’ is coming to PC, PS4, Xbox One and Switch

But can it run Crysis? When it comes to new hardware, it’s a question almost as old as time itself. If you ever wondered if the Switch, with its modest NVIDIA Tegra X1 processor, can play the game, the answer it turns out is yes. Following a leak ear...

Riot’s competitive hero shooter ‘Valorant’ enters closed beta next week

If you've been patiently waiting for a chance to play Riot's new competitive first-person shooter, you won't have to wait much longer to see what the League of Legends studio has been working on in secret all these years. The Valorant closed beta sta...

Riot begins leaking details about its competitive shooter ‘Project A’

Riot Games shared precious little about what its Project A team-based shooter would entail besides a "character-based" focus, but more details are coming to light. Former Counter-Strike pro player Henry Greer (aka HenryG) reports that Riot invited h...

Live Action First Person Shooter 2: Dead Skype

Back in August, Realm Pictures shared a live action zombie game where strangers on Chatroulette, Omegle and Skype controlled the hero while viewing the adventure from his perspective. The company is back with an even more wicked horror adventure, and this time it’s set in space.

I’m not going to spoil anything, only that there’s salty language from the players:

How freakin’ cool was that? Here’s how Realm Pictures pulled it off:

The game’s third level is actually an entire game on its own. Realm Pictures is going big and is raising funds to create a multi-level and persistent world, with more characters and a more fleshed out story. Donors will have a say in the production of this new game. Best of all, when the game is finished, Realm Pictures won’t play with strangers online anymore. Instead, they’ll randomly pick 50 people from their donors to play. You get one ticket for every £1 (~$2 USD) you donate, which is a steal for such a new experience.

With the impending wave of virtual reality systems I wouldn’t be surprised if this genre explodes within a couple of years.

Live Action First-Person Shooter Controlled via Chat: Chat of Duty

Realm Pictures created the 21st century equivalent of text-based games: a chat-based game. The film studio set up a live action zombie roleplaying game in their office and then had people on Chatroulette, Omegle and Skype control the hero in first-person.

Here’s how it went down (minus the random penis sightings I assume). Note that there’s some salty language in the video.

What’s amazing about this is that Realm Pictures went to great lengths make the livestream look and feel like a video game. Pretty much everything in the video happened live, including the sound effects and the HUD and other visual cues. Check out the behind-the-scenes for more:

Good job Realm Pictures! Now do Portal.

I Wish These LEGO FPSes Existed

Once you watch this video there’s no going back. I’m warning you. Once you see it, you will want a LEGO FPS. As I do. And I don’t have one. It’s making for a very frustrating day. With a lot of crying.

This awesome animation was created by Youtuber andrewmfilms and it imagines that LEGO made first-person shooter video games. Like Portal, Skyrim, BioShock and Counter-Strike for instance. You’ll wish it was real. Seriously, this is the best thing ever.

C’mon LEGO, give us some violent video games. Why ya have to be so wholesome and pure? Give in to the Dark Side already!

Delta Six controller gets redesigned, Kickstarted

Delta Six controller gets redesigned, Kickstarted

Most video game controllers sporting a firearm form factor are a far cry from realistic -- bright colors, odd shapes and obvious thumbsticks leave many accessories looking more like toys than weapons. Not David Kotkin's Delta Six. This gun-shaped controller's first prototype looked so much like a real rifle, Kotkin told us, it had to be redesigned. An orange tip, whitewashed body and a few less authentic looking components don't make the Delta Six look any less believable as a digital soldier's modern musket, but it does make it less likely to be mistaken for the real McCoy. The peripheral's internals haven't changed though -- an accelerometer to help players aim and turn, cheek-sensing pressure sensors (for looking down the scope), faux-recoil and its assortment of modular components are still all on target.

Like all budding hardware projects these days, the Delta Six is looking towards the crowd to source its production. According to the peripheral's Kickstarter page, the Delta Six will be available between July and August next year, boasting compatibility with the Xbox 360, PS3, PC, Wii U and even the OUYA. Pitching in $89 buys the basic submachine gun body (with a free rifle attachment for first-week buyers), and subsequent levels tack on additional attachments, bonus items and more. Kotkin needs $500,000 to make his rifle-shaped dream a reality. Like-minded FPS gamers can join him at the source link below. Not a dreamer? Feel free to read on for the official press release (plus a video and an additional image), instead.
