admin — Sat, 01 Aug 2020 13:17:26 +0000

Independent game developers Giant Scam Industries, announced today their VR arena shooter, Snapshot VR, is available in Early Access on Viveport and the Viveport Infinity service. The game will be launching for Windows PC via Steam on Tuesday, September 1. Snapshot VR is an online, competitive arena shooter based on tournament level paintball. In teams of up to five, players must eliminate the opposition or hit the buzzer to win a match. With one-shot kills, physics-based projectiles, and nearly unlimited map variety, Snapshot VR is a wholly unique video game experience built from the ground up with the VR platform in mind. Snapshot VR also features a handy Training Mode where users can place stationary or moving targets via the 2D Paintball Field Creator in order to practice laning and snapshooting (hence the name, get it?) in both single and multiplayer modes. Get the team out, run some drills, and build those skills to take into competitive matches. Watch the Snapshot VR Launch trailer here: “We are stoked to finally get Snapshot VR into the hands and headsets of players,” said Jesse Keogh, Founder and Lead Engineer at Giant Scam. “We’ve been working night and day to bring a polished and, most importantly, fun multiplayer experience to VR platforms and can’t wait for players to get involved.” Snapshot VR is unlike any other multiplayer shooter on the market right now, for several reasons. The real-world paintball influence (the guys at Giant Scam played competitive paintball for over a decade) brings the history, tactics, and culture of a true sport into the virtual realm. The dev team’s experience in both the real sport and building VR games gives them a particular advantage that makes Snapshot VR a unique beast. Combine this with a dedicated community, one of the best map-making tools on the market, metrics and analytics for days, and dynamic player movement designed specifically for this platform and you’ve got a robust and layered gaming experience that stands apart from its peers. Key Features of Snapshot VR:

Designed for Virtual Reality: Snapshot VR has been built from the ground up as a multiplayer, arena-shooter experience for the VR platform, from the player’s movement to the aiming and shooting

Lean, Fat-Free Multiplayer: Snapshot VR features quick, intense rounds that require deft planning, strategy, and teamwork, but lets players get right into the action without having to run across a giant map or spend half the match hiding in a bush

Physics-Based Projectiles: In order to properly mirror and emulate the real sport, each round fired in Snapshot VR follows a realistic arc and trajectory, which makes developing the right timing and accuracy all the more important

I Like Charts and Numbers: In order to truly maximize one’s abilities and likelihood for success, post-game analysis is vital. Thankfully, Snapshot VR provides a bevy of metrics and information to help teams tweak their strategies and focus on winning.

Unlimited Map Diversity: Whether using maps based on real-world NXL layouts or something wholly original, the sheer variety of bunker shapes and placement provides endless possibilities for experimentation with 2D Paintball’s Field Creator.

Practice Without Pain: Using the map integration with 2D Paintball, players can add both moving and stationary targets to training maps to practice shooting and run drills in either single or multiplayer

Snapshot VR is now available in Early Access for Viveport and will be on Windows PC via Steam Tuesday, Sep. 1. The game will support the Oculus Rift, Oculus Rift S, HTC Vive, HTC Vive Pro, Vive Cosmos, and Vive Cosmos Elite, Windows Mixed Reality, and Valve index with support for additional VR devices at full launch. Additional features and content, including a custom map creator, will be released throughout Early Access.

Gameforge’s Popular Action MMO Has Arrived — SoulWorker Anime Legends

admin — Tue, 21 Jul 2020 14:07:45 +0000

Gameforge — the leading Western publisher of popular multiplayer online games including AION, NosTale, Elsword, SoulWorker, and TERA — and South Korean developer Aprogen Games have released the latest entry in the acclaimed action-packed massively-multiplayer SoulWorker franchise, SoulWorker Anime Legends, for iOS and Android.

SoulWorker Anime Legends brings the universe of the popular post-apocalyptic free-to-play MMORPG to mobile devices, offering an exciting new experience packed with high-energy battles, anime-inspired cinematic gameplay, and all-new and exciting quests. Gameforge’s release of SoulWorker on mobile devices features new language localization, new community and support pages for Western players, additional regional servers, and gameplay adjustments. To further differentiate the game from pre-existing versions, it has been named SoulWorker Anime Legends in Gameforge’s supported territories.

“Following the success of publishing SoulWorker in Western territories in 2018, Gameforge is proud to work with Aprogen Games to release the latest game in the series on mobile platforms,” said Botond Nemeth, Executive Producer at Gameforge. “Whether you’re an existing SoulWorker fan or someone who has yet to experience its exciting, anime-themed action, SoulWorker Anime Legends is an excellent adaptation of the popular MMORPG that fits in your pocket.”

In celebration of SoulWorker Anime Legends’ launch, Gameforge has released a video introducing players to the fresh, new gameplay as well as the cast of heroes that players can embody on their adventures with a combat style adjusted for mobile platforms. Check out the launch trailer here:

Like its popular Windows PC counterpart, SoulWorker Anime Legends invites players to choose between 6 heroes, known as SoulWorkers, who must put a stop to the forces of evil in quick and intense battles. The birthplace of this evil? The Great Void, an all-absorbing portal which has been the cause of death for many people and has already paved the way for countless demons to arrive. The emotions of SoulWorkers are so strong that they are able to transform their souls into powerful weapons. But first they have to learn how to handle their newly acquired strength — and do so before all of humanity is wiped out.

SoulWorker Anime Legends’ Key Features:

Separate from SoulWorker, SoulWorker Anime Legends introduces new and exciting quests for players to enjoy

New action-packed solo gameplay comprised of the cast of highly-specialized class-based characters from the SoulWorker universe that players have grown to love: Haru Estia (Soulum Sword class), Lilly Bloommerchen (Mist Scythe class), Erwin Arclight (Gun Jazz class), Jin Seipatsu (Spirit Arms class), Stella Unibell (Howling Guitar class), and Iris Yuma (Hammer Stol class)

Experience new areas, maps, and content, including 8 x 4 mazes, and multiple PvE and PvP features and ranking systems, for players to test their mettle during epic mass battles on an open battlefield

A dark post-apocalyptic setting with a captivating story and impressive cel-shaded animations, giving players a “playable anime” experience

SoulWorker Anime Legends is available for iOS and Android mobile devices via the App Store and Google Play. Language support is available in English, French, and German, with more languages to come. SoulWorker Anime Legends will receive a similar progression path as SoulWorker for Windows PC, with new content planned for post-release updates.
