 Today at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Francisco, Rovio Entertainment (ROVIO) and Resolution Games have revealed details of their upcoming mobile augmented reality (AR) game, Angry Birds AR: Isle of Pigs. The new game, available for pre-order now on the App Store for iPhone 6s and later, all iPad Pro models, iPad 5th generation and iPad 6th generation, and the new iPad Air and iPad mini, allows players to take the power of the Angry Birds slingshot into their hands like never before, placing the classic piggy constructed towers into the player’s own environment using Apple’s ARKit technology. Initially launching with at least 40 levels of gameplay, fans of the Angry Birds series of games will get a one-of-a-kind view into different locales of Piggy Island, toppling towers and popping pigs in the classic satisfying gameplay they have come to love.
Employing the unique elements of Apple’s ARKit, Angry Birds AR: Isle of Pigs allows players to overlay Angry Birds levels onto their own surroundings. Viewing the 3D levels through an iPhone or iPad, players can walk 360-degrees around levels to find weaknesses and hidden items, and when they are ready, line up the perfect shot with intuitive onscreen controls. Of course, the classic Angry Birds characters are there to help defeat the Birds’ green nemeses.
Kati Levoranta, CEO at Rovio Entertainment, commented, “We’re delighted to bring the beloved physics-based gameplay of Angry Birds to life through augmented reality. It’s an especially timely moment to bring our avian friends to mobile AR for the first time, as this year marks the tenth anniversary since the release of the first Angry Birds game.”
 
“This game evokes the core of what makes AR gameplay truly AR. With its engaging characters, classic Angry Birds slingshot gameplay and ability to move around the structures, it utilizes the unique elements of Apple’s ARKit and showcases what AR gameplay is capable of, which is pretty amazing when you see it come to life,” said Tommy Palm, CEO of Resolution Games.

A guerra original do console

  Sonic está atualmente encontrando sucesso nos cinemas, e Mario está prestes a tentar as coisas novamente com um projeto Illumination. Com esses personagens de grande nome indo para o cinema, faz você se perguntar se poderíamos ver algum tipo de colaboração cinematográfica estilo Smash Bros. Se isso acontecesse, o diretor do Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Jeff Fowler, adoraria enfrentá-lo. Em entrevista ao Comicbook.com, Fowler se abriu sobre seu interesse em tal projeto. "Nada me faria mais feliz do que apenas jogar todos os personagens em um battle royale e fazer uma grande coisa Smash Bros. Isso provavelmente exigiria algum trabalho dos advogados antes que isso pudesse acontecer. Colocando Mario e Sonic no ringue, quero dizer que todos estariam meio que morrendo por isso, certo? Isso é clássico." A partir de agora, não há tais planos para um filme de Smash Bros. mas você nunca sabe o que o futuro reserva. Universos cinematográficos são toda a raiva agora, um Nintendo certamente po...

Destroy All Humans! 2 Reprobed Review

  The remake of Destroy All Humans! 2 Reprobed looks fantastic but is ultimately dragged down by the limitations of its console past. Cryptosporidium and his alien cohorts first touched down on Earth back in 2005 when THQ and Pandemic Studios created an alternative world to ours with  Destroy All Humans! , a Sci-Fi story filled with foreign spies and alien conflict. Pandemic did it again in 2006 with  Destroy All Humans! 2 , carrying the aliens' ridiculous story further into the gaming mainstream during the days of PS2 and Xbox dominance. With  Destroy All Humans! 2 Reprobed , the second remake by THQ Nordic and Black Forest Games in the  Destroy All Humans!  series, Crypto and friends have a chance to bring the boom to the new generation of gamers, but the game doesn't always meet those expectations. The game is curbed from reaching glory by the constraints placed upon it being an older title, but maintains its outrageous satirical humor all while looking ...
