Modern game makers can dream up entire universes, but games made in the ‘80s and ‘90s had to rely on levels, and chains of boss battles for success. Die Hard may be the most famous movie to actually take the idea of fighting enemies from level to level literally, but the original writer’s idea for the story was basically a live-action version of Elevator Action , a game released just a few years later. Since then, movies like Dredd and The Raid: Redemption have embraced the same structure, sending heroes up against gangs of enemies, mini-bosses and one massive final battle to achieve victory. The confined settings and levels may just be a way of keeping a story simple, but the solution is one that game developers were the first to really expl
Bethesda is no stranger to a lawsuit, however, as shown by a previous legal battle from the company. In March 2011, Minecraft developer Mojang announced its second game, a collectible card game called Scrolls . However, apparently the name of the game put Bethesda on edge, thanks to their own series The Elder Scrolls , and the company sued Mojang over how close the names of the games w
Nintendo may be one of the biggest companies in video games, but there was a time where the company’s place in the industry could have been in jeopardy. 1981’s Donkey Kong was Nintendo’s strongest foot into the arcade market up to that point, introducing gamers to two of the most iconic characters in gaming. Universal, though, felt that Donkey Kong was too similar to its own King Kong , and launched a suit against the comp
Loot doesn’t do you much good when you don’t have anyway to make off with it. Sure, crafty players may lay it like a trail of brass casing breadcrumbs to draw unwitting prey into a trap, but most likely, you’re just going to flounder around with it and get caught trying to figure out how to carry all of
The legal battle between Epic Games and Too Human developer Silicon Knights was long and complex. Initially, Silicon Knights took Epic to court over the licensing of Unreal Engine 3, with the developer claiming that Epic was in breach of contract by withholding information about the engine itself, leading to the studio needing to build its own engine. However, before too long the tables were turned, and a countersuit led the courts to discover that Silicon Knights’ own engine was using thousands of lines of code from the Unreal Eng
Ultimately though, while there may be a few key weapons that help provide an advantage over other players, it does come down to which weapons you feel most comfortable using – so don’t be afraid to take some time to learn which weapons suit you b
That concludes our rundown of the most controversial video game lawsuits of all time. These legal disputes were not only major talking points, but also helped shape the history of gaming through the legacies left behind. As such, future video game lawsuits may look to these cases for a precedent on what’s to c
Zack Snyder’s adventure of female warriors was an original idea, but Sucker Punch took its influences from 20th century warfare, steampunk, Japanese mecha and anime as much as any modern fantasy game. Whether it’s Nazi Zombies made famous by Call of Duty , or mixing bullets and blades with dragons and orcs like Final Fantasy (and too many other RPGs to count), the source material is clear. Snyder stated that he wanted the movie to be less chaotic than a typical video game experience, but the constant need to defeat waves of enemies or steal key quest items was spotted by critics… and their comparisons to one massive video game adventure weren’t usually meant as a complim
We’re not here to bash this game, in all honesty, it is fun, it’s challenging, and most of the time, even despite the flaws and annoyances, it is actually very addicting. But we won’t hold back when it comes to how games like PUBG can improve in the future. Maybe after all the controversy around the issues of the FPS game tips|https://fpspedia.com/, developers will learn to listen to the community that supports their creations. We can only h
Pitting four surivors with a sense of humor against an army of the undead made Zombieland a hit, but one video game series was using zombies for fun, not fear long before. The zombie shooter Left 4 Dead followed the same formula, even shaping its campaign and marketing to resemble a Hollywood film, but fans soon turned the game into an online sensation, where hilarious kills were the top priority. Zombieland kept the sense of humor and tension, and even “Kills of the Week” competitions intact, not to mention a finale set in a zombie-filled amusement park – a location included in Left 4 Dead 2 , released shortly after the mo
That’s why the meme above is so appropriate; it isn’t uncommon to see other players (or doing it yourself), as they run willy nilly barehanded. It isn’t hard to feel completely exposed when you aren’t armed or don’t have a vest on, especially in P
