Designing Next-Gen Virtual Reality Gaming Experiences

It wasn’t until I conquered my first dungeon in The Legend of Zelda at my friend’s house that I decided to throw a convincing tantrum at my parents about why I also desperately needed my own Nintendo Entertainment System. Like many other millennials, it was the very first video game console I owned. Back then, I just wanted to save a princess from an evil king; I knew very little about how Nintendo actually redefined the language of how we interact with video games. I had, what I suppose UX nerds today would call, a good hardware user experience. Fast forward a few years and the global gaming market is expected to rake in $86.1 billion in revenue in 2016. Driving this projection is the expected quick increase in consumer adoption of Virtual Reality (VR) technology hardware products such as Microsoft’s HoloLens, Sony’s Project Morpheus and the Oculus Rift. It’s no longer just about unique and memorable game characters and exciting incentives, but holistic and immers...

Minecraft Xbox 360 1.8.2 update meets impatience

It has been a wait that some gamers won’t want to repeat, but the Minecraft Xbox 360 1.8.2 update is almost here and bringing with it new game modes, although the exact release date is unknown. Most Xbox 360 gamers that own Minecraft know the 1.8.2 update is currently being certified by Microsoft, which could take anything up to two weeks, and while the process started over a week ago it’s still hard to pinpoint a time when the download will become available. The new modes coming with the next Minecraft Xbox 360 update include Superflat Worlds, a Creative Mode, and a new Tutorial World that will replace the old world and this means saying goodbye to the terrains, structures, easter eggs, and pretty much everything. You can see two videos below that showcase Superflat and Creative Mode, so feel free to see these if you haven’t already and share a comment with your expectations. Some Minecraft gamers on the Xbox 360 have been worried that the 1.8.2 update could remove th...

Infinity Blade 1.3 problems, touch of death & shutdown

This is personal when it comes to the awesome Infinity Blade iOS game, now we have this game on our Apple iPad and iPhone 4 and we would like to bring up a couple of problems. The two problems we have cover the ‘touch of death’ and ‘shutdown issues’, let’s talk about the first one covering the touch of death, which is a big finger with a bone sticking out the end of it and in the swords category. The touch of death finger sword is pointless and a waste of money, it costs a whopping $900,000 and all it gives you is a measly 10 damage points, now we all know that you can buy money from the app store for example $750,000 of fake money will cost you $19.99 of your real money from your bank account, taking that on board that works out that the $900,000 would cost you in the region of $25, total rip-off in a nutshell. Whilst on the subject of the touch of death please do step forward and let us know what your thoughts are on this matter, the more response we get the good it will do for us to...

News on iOS game downloads, over 5m a day

So we know that Android apps are starting to increase, but they are still a long way off the kind of numbers downloaded from the App Store. Recent iOS games news suggests that 5 million games a day were downloaded in March, but this number could be much more, as these were just the result of a survey taken by 63 million users. The prospect is that this number is most probably much higher, so let us take a closer look at Distimo and Newzoo’s survey. There is a huge choice of apps in iTunes, but it is the games that have proved to be the most popular – they have not seen my brothers choice of useless apps then on his iPhone – as they account for half the number of app downloads. The research was not only conducted in the U.S. but also half a dozen European countries as well, and it shows that 2.5 games a month were downloaded by each user – just looking for my half an app now, nope not there. The survey is an interesting one, as you can also see the percentage of iPhone ...

Monster Hunter for iPhone: Dynamic Hunting

A couple of days ago Capcom announced their latest version of Monster Hunter for the iPhone, this new installment is called Dynamic Hunting. Some of you may remember that we first learned of this by Famitsu, the Japanese gaming magazine had assumed that the game app would not land until June 2011. The good news is the game will be released early, and will be launched to the world at the same time. There are those of us who are unfamiliar with the Monster Hunter franchise, as it has been more for the Japanese market. This is considered to be a kind of Farmville or Mafia Wars in a way, as workers in the country would often take time out at work just to get some gaming in. However, what makes this franchise different is that it is a co-op multiplayer quest; so you will be hunting online for monsters with other players. As you would imagine the iPhone version will not have nowhere near as much to offer, but it still has all the basics. The developer has made things a little simpler so that...
