We know that the good people at rescue tech have made a lot of progress recently, so I thought I would share a few of my favorite stories.
A few hours ago, I was doing some research on new game releases for this month on my local news website. The first thing I noticed was that one of the developers from the upcoming game, FEAR: The Last Day, was playing the game for the first time. (I was able to play the game on PC for the first time yesterday, so I can’t really tell you much about the game yet, unfortunately).
The game is a survival horror game, in that you play as a hero who must protect a group of survivors from a mysterious disease. The game is still just a rumor at this point, but a developer from FEAR was kind enough to let us play the game, and we have to say that after a few minutes of playing the game, it looked very scary.
The game is still in Alpha and the developers are working hard to polish it to a very high standard. At this time though, we are unable to give an exact release date for the game until the official site finally gets up and running.
Of course, none of this is really news, but the fact that the game looks scary only makes it that much more enticing. I remember looking at an early demo of the game and being very excited about it. It’s a shame that it wasn’t released for the PC any sooner, but I’m sure there are plenty of other consoles waiting to be used in the meantime.
Now that it looks like there will be a PC version, it does make me wonder if we will see the game on the Nintendo Wii, Sony Playstation, or Xbox 360. I know that the Wii version will be as good as its PC counterpart, but is it worth the extra $60? I personally am not a fan of the Wii’s controls. I’m afraid I will lose myself in the game if I try to play it.
In the case of the Wii, the PC version will include a new game mode called Wii-World, with all the same features as the PC version, but from a different point of view. As the console maker says, the PC version is meant for play on a PC with a Wii Remote. This is a very neat idea, but I’m afraid I don’t think the PC version will be as good.
I am one of those PC gamers who prefers the Wii Remote for control, but if you are one of those who do not like the Wii controls, you probably should not play the PC version. The Wii Remote controls pretty well for a first-person shooter, but not for a game. For example, if you want to shoot a gun, you simply have to move your Wii Remote in an arc to aim. There is no button here to press to aim.
In the new Wii Remote, the first thing you do when you want to shoot your gun is to move your Wii Remote in an arc. That is a pretty simple gesture to make. The second thing you do is to use the motion controls to aim. The only button to use is the Fire button. That is the only button you press to shoot.
I think these two things take us back to the beginning. When I first tried to learn to play games, I couldn’t even get a gun to fire. Now, I can do both.
