Four Racing Games That Revolutionized Driving Experience

Posted by on Friday, 3 September, 2010

For all those who are now beyond their teenage years, video games are something that we have lived and grown up with. Most of the legendary Video Games were released in front of our eyes and every single one of them shared an experience that is indefinable. First it used to be Atari and arcades with games such as Pole position, Outrun and Test drive but during the 90s, the graphics and game play gradually increasingly enhanced. Years passed and eventually we grew up to buy a real car from some New Jersey Chevrolet Dealer. Yet, that car from NJ Chevy dealer wasn’t any match with the experience we had with our joysticks.

There are uncountable numbers of auto-driving games up till now, but there are only some which left a mark on our memories and actually revolutionized the whole usual driving game experience. It is not deniable that the 80s and early 90s games are still the real pioneers that ignited it all but this article discusses games that were released after the mid 90s and added gear to the whole auto experience. Let us take a look at four famous games that didn’t just depend on ordinary racing strategy, but made gaming even more fun.

Need For Speed

Simply said, this is the game that started it all. In the mid 90s, when every gamer was happy with arcade games, NFS showed us that it’s not all about driving on the track and being the winner. gamers had the option to select from real tracks and cars and also to unlock more tracks and cars as the game was played. It appeared like for the first time the game developers had seriously teamed up with automobile giants for such a venture.

Grand Theft Auto

A game which was not purely a driving game because the gamer was able to get out of the vehicle and play wth other things in the area. That is what made it a legend. The first game, although not very commendable regarding graphics and the cinematics, totally set new boundaries for a driving game. The the scenario was more exciting than ever and the gamer was able to halt the vehicle even during a mission, get out of the vehicle, steal some other vehicle and carry on with the mission. This gave players the flexibility needed to make games more exciting.

Gran Turismo

When this part cam out in 1997, there was hardly any driving/racing competitor which was good enough to meet its high graphics. Moreoevr, it had wonderful collection of cars and numerous customization options which could change the performance of the vehicle. The handling was also very realistic in comparision to other games of that time

Driver

There is truly no car driving/racing list complete without this legendary mention. Released in 1999, this game told us what the next generation automobile games were going to be like. There was a strong story line, characters and explorable towns in the game. Overall, it was a role playing driving game which made the players a part of the game and story.

Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City now available for PS3, PC. Took them long enough!

Posted by on Tuesday, 13 April, 2010

Just a friendly reminder that Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City, the stand-alone pack of Grand Theft Auto IV DLC is now available for PCand PS3. As DLC goes, it’s not bad.

One word of caution for my PC gaming friends: it uses Games for Windows Live, which pretty much everyone on Planet Earth hates.

Just to clear up any confusion: the DLC (which includes both The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony) is available to download from the respective services (PSN, GfWL) if you already own GTA IV. If you don’t have the originial GTA IV, you can walk into your local store and buy the stand-alone disc, entitled Episodes From Liberty City.

Let’s see here… The Lost and Damned first came out on the Xbox 360 in February, 2009, so it’s been a little while.



Yet another violent video game debate (but one that doesn’t demonize games per se)

Posted by on Thursday, 8 April, 2010

There was another “are violent video games evil?” debate yesterday, this time on BBC Radio in the UK. (We sure do cover a lot of UK-centric news here, don’t we?) A group called Mothers Against Violence, whose goal is the complete eradication of violence (OK…), debated games journalists, the radio show hosts, and the video game industry in general. The debate wasn’t as silly as you may automatically think, with the anti-violence group coming down on parents rather than violent video games in general. You know, “Be parents for once!”

The debate centered around Grand Theft Auto, as it so often does. (Incidentally, the debate was on BBC Radio Leeds, and Rockstar Leeds created the portable versions of GTA, including Chinatown Wars.) Ignorant questions like “Why is it OK to pick up and beat prostitutes but not normal civilians?” Of course you can, in fact, pick up anybody you want, and beat them up if you want to, but then you’re dealing with a wanted level.

Anyhow, the only real thing of substance that was said was that the Mothers Against Violence group didn’t claim that violent video games were destroying civilization itself, but implored parents to parent. If your kid is an immature brat, perhaps it’s not a good idea to buy him GTA or Whatever The Game for his birthday? Rockstar said as much, noting that its games are clearly and solely intended for adults, and that it submits all of its games to the proper ratings board for certification.

Video games didn’t invent violence, something that has been around, you know, forever.

Isn’t that right, Mr. Caveman?



Utherverse Takes Adult Video Games to the Next Level

Posted by on Saturday, 27 March, 2010

For most geeks, the only thing that can trump video games is, well, porn. Which is exactly why so many companies are exploring the world of sex based video games. For those old schoolers, you may remember games like Sierra’s Leisure Suit Larry Series, which was a computer adventure game about a guy trying to get lucky in any way possible. Of course we are talking about pixelated cartoonish sexual imagery but hey, back in the day this stuff was awesome! Certain game development companies continue to make straight out porn focused games, but there are also some ‘mainstream’ games including sex as part of a storyline like Heavy Rain, Mass Effect 2 (again), and the always controversial Grand Theft Auto series. With the advent of the video game rating system, it seems like mainstream games that really push the envelope are becoming less and less prevalent. Partly because any game slapped with an “AO” rating practically means suicide for the developer because no brick and mortar store will stock the game. With this move towards keeping our games clean, it seems almost counter intuitive to bring back sex video games a la Lesiure Suit Larry and Benny Hill. It’s a surprise to see new sex-based games hitting the market like Bonetown, Project X, and Digital Playground’s new 3D world, that bring players into a world where they can pretty much do whatever they want without judgement. All of these games feature well known porn stars (helllllooo, Ron Jeremy is in Bonetown), which is cool for fans because they can interact with them virtually like never before.

Unlike Bonetown and Project X, Digital Playground’s Utherverse focuses more on leisure and social networking rather than gaming. Users aren’t expected to complete missions or earn points, rather, they’re expected to roam around the world, have fun, and do all the things they can’t really do in real life (because unless you’re Tommy Lee, it’s doubtful you’re hooking up with porn stars). The Utherverse creates a place for fans to interact and play, making this new genre of sex games a rule free social networking experience. “We don’t refer to the virtual world as a game, but rather as the 3D Web, or the Virtual World Web. It’s really is less of a game and more of the Internet in 3D. It’s a place where users come to have social networking in real time, to watch movies together, to shop for real-world goods and services, as well as virtual goods and services – but there is no objective,” said Brian Shuster of Utherverse. Basically the goal is to have sex, hook up, and do all the naughty things you can’t do in real life without getting yourself in trouble.

While Bonetown and Project X both feature well-known porn stars, Digital Playground’s Utherverse is the first game to feature all Digital Playground branded pictures, videos, and characters, possibly marking a new frontier for porn. Aside from screenings of their DP porns, the game features the contract star, Raven Alexis, a self-professed geek and WoW gamer. For Raven, this new avenue is an obvious choice, “It’s been so cool and exciting so far, getting to know the ins and outs of the game took a little while, and I’ve already met some amazing people. I don’t think that Digital Playground could be teamed up with a better company to begin putting virtual characters of their contract girls into a game.”

The technology behind this emerging trend is what’s really interesting. Utherverse, the company that created Digital Playground’s 3D world explained that the creation of virtual worlds can take upwards of four years and cost up to 10 million dollars. Utherverse took the technology that goes into making these games and created a tool set and prop editor that allows companies to completely customized and create their own world without much coding or time. The way it works is that a company will choose from basic landscape and surroundings and then can further customize with a prop editor, cutting down on time and making the world of 3D games available to many companies. “The prop-editor also allows the user to pull images from the web, web pages, flash object, flash streams or any of the scripts that need to go onto objects. Scripts can include a wide range of tools, including the ability to inter-link objects, so that when a user clicks, they are transported from one are of the virtual world to another, or from one world to another.” For Digital Playground, this meant that they would import lots of fun things like videos, pictures, and toys.

Raven was also able to create her own character in the game, “I did make my own character, which took about a week in total – and she has all kinds of customized outfits that she can wear. For a gamer, it was completely fun for me, and I’m totally addicted to this game! I’ve already been told by many people in game that my character looks just like me!”

The world of online sex games marks a new chapter for the adult industry. Where previously adult stars were only able to interact with their friends through video and a hand full of in-person appearances, companies are now exploring different ways like online games. Are the family collations like MAVAV, Mothers Against Videogame Addiction and Violence that complain about games like Grand Theft Auto going to come after these truly hardcore sex focused video games? Only time will tell.

Guest columnist Lydia Leavitt writes about sex and, oddly enough, social media. For more information on the latest intimate technology, check out 69adget.com and Digital Playground’s Utherverse (NSFW)
