ASSASSIN’S CREED SYNDICATE BRINGS EAGLE VISION IN TO THE REAL WORLD

AN EAGLE EYED VIEW OF LONDON

BALD EAGLE WEARING 4K CAMERA CAPTURES REMARKABLE FOOTAGE OF LONDON SKYLINE
·    VIDEO GAME FEATURE, ‘EAGLE VISION’, BROUGHT IN TO REAL WORLD FOR GLOBAL LAUNCH OF ASSASSIN’S CREED® SYNDICATE

London, UK — October 15, 2015, Today, Ubisoft^® announced one of the most ambitious filming projects ever to hit London’s skyline, in celebration of the upcoming launch of Assassin’s Creed^® Syndicate. The latest installment in the global video game franchise is available to own on October 23^rd for the PlayStation^®4 computer entertainment system and Xbox One^®, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, and will be available on Windows PC on November 19th.

For the first time, a Bald Eagle was flown over London, launched from some of the most iconic and tallest buildings in Europe with a 4K camera (four times as much detail as 1080p Full HD) attached to its back, offering stunning, never before seen footage of the UK’s capital city from an Eagle’s eye.

This project was undertaken to showcase a feature in Assassin’s Creed^® Syndicate, where players can use ‘Eagle Vision’; a tool enabling players to have an Eagle-Eyed perspective and vision to locate enemies and key features at distance. The game, set in Victorian London during the industrial revolution, has taken over two years to develop by the global video games publisher, Ubisoft, who have painstakingly recreated 1868 London in stunning detail.

For the Eagle flights, launch points used included; the Walkie Talkie (20 Fenchurch Street) 35^th floor Sky Garden (492 feet above ground level) and Sushi Samba at The Heron Tower (792 feet). Other landmark launch points included Trafalgar Square, City Hall and The Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre.

“The ambition of this project was huge and it was months in planning to make sure we could achieve the stunning content that we set out to capture,” said Tom Goldberger, Senior PR Manager at Ubisoft. “We worked with a fantastic production team, vastly experienced eagle handler and highly trained eagle to ensure the project was a huge success. We’re delighted to have finally been able to bring to life one of the most iconic features in Assassin’s Creed Syndicate.”

Falconry Expert, Chris O’Donnell, along with his 29 year old Bald Eagle, Sidney, were recruited to make the filming concept a reality; “An Eagle has never been flown to this extent in an urban environment, so this was a very exciting project to be involved in. Sidney is a Bald Eagle who is used to large crowds of people and was highly adaptable to a busy city environment. We developed a bespoke harness and fitting for the camera and spent months testing it for comfort and stability. We had good flying conditions, incredible launch points and the footage we captured was utterly remarkable.”

TOM CLANCY RAINBOW SIX SIEGE BETA 4 TOP TIPS

While many of you are still waiting for beta codes I thought I’d compile a list of things I think will make that first   match a little bit easier. Number 1 which seems pretty obvious but hasn’t really been followed is get a mic and no not a 200 dollar headset just the mic that came with your system of choice,  In a game such as this communication is key because this game truly shines and shows its true potential though use of communication and real teamwork. Number 2 toss all you learned from Call of Duty out the window there’s no drop shots or one man wolf pack mechanics in this game every shot counts and there can be death around every corner. Number 3 This was something that me and a few friends learned the hard way there is team killing one misplaced shot will injure or potentially kill a team mate so aim smart friends. Number 4  Be the camera guy the game isn’t really weighed heavily on kills yes you’ll get some points for one but you get  the same amount by finding a safe place and guiding your team mates to a win. Number 5 Relax have fun and this is the another obvious point speaking as member of the F#&*  Lag F#^%* team I have truly enjoyed my time with this beta so far and also by just having fun I’ve met a group of great guys who just wanna play the game and have some laughs. So I hope these few tips help you new recruits out and make this game enjoyable and be prepared for a few hiccups because well it’s a beta and that’s what its met for so rack up your renown (in game currency)  and get your operators ready because your team is depending on you.

4 Months With Xbox One Worth It ???????

 

 

It’s August and some of the most hyped games of the year are on the horizon Call of Duty Advance Warfare , Destiny, GTA V Next-Gen,and that’s just a few to mention the question you may be faced with is should I upgrade my console.  I purchased mine during what seemed to be a well calculated move in marketing whether it was EA or Microsoft during the Titanfall hype constant release date changes got old fast and Xbox one bundle prices dropped  it seemed to be the perfect time so with some pushing I got my wife to let me open my wallet and upgrade. What you should know before you bite the bullet if you have no friends with Xbox One and you only like to play with friends don’t buy it you’ll be bored immediately unless you love to play single player campaigns for me I am the first and only one of my friends to have it but I can say I’ve met new people that I tend to play with regularly. Are the games better and my question is it depends on what you think better is Visually,Competitively that’s what you have to ask yourself.  The only testament I have is with battlefield 4 let me honest for a second neither version Xbox 360 or Xbox One  was great and they continue to have problems but for me personally I have not picked up my 360 version since I bought the Xbox One version there were details in Siege of Shanghai Tower that I never would have known existed like curtains that blow in the wind once you break out the winds or the bar that is constructed on the top level to add more cover those things may seem insignificant but they truly add a different level of play to that game.

    So with that being said that is the most important thing about switching to next-gen ask yourself how much you want to spend on games. All of the upgrade to next-gen games offers have expired . I picked up BF4 at Walmart on Black Friday so I took a small lost to purchase it for Xbox One too but can you really spend $59.99  all over again for something you already have for blowing curtains that is the question to ask. It’s worth it if you can afford it but the best time to switch to next -gen would be when there is a new game coming out or a new bundle introduced to save the hassle.  So far the Xbox One has delivered the gaming experience I was looking for because I went in with the understanding that last -gen had reached its peak great games like GTA V showed there was still life left in those console while the Xbox One and PS4 have years to take them to those limits and don’t get me wrong I still go back to play MW3 ,BlackopsII, Forza 4, on 360 to play with friends. The truth is Im happy I spent the money with twitch integration html5 theres alot more to do than 360  so if you have the money free and clear spend it and if you feel like you can’t justify it yet wait your not getting left behind there’s still time left.

As for XB one you will be required to have the the system linked to the internet at the minimum every 24 hrs and users may sell titles back to retailers or give them to friends provided they have approval from the publisher.

Datel Turbo 2 Controller VS Intensifire 3.0

Mods can be summed up in one word annoying and year after year game after game they show there ugly faces. During a Friday night game of modern warfare 3 my party experienced a clan of rapid fire maniacs to say the least. As the night continued there seemed to be more and more of them and how could I tell you ask when a mk14 sounds like a type 95 you know it. After a week of seeing the same thing I was compelled to go out and even the score and why not if you can’t beat them join them right. I ran out the following week to the local game stop before the Friday night madness began again and picked up the Datel Turbo Fire 2 I gladly rushed home to begin pawning my friends in our first few private matches. I opened the packaging and was surprised to see there was no support for rechargeable battery packs two AA batteries which at the time was no big deal until 2 hours in please reconnect the controller was flashing more than a girl’s gone wild video. On top of that the sticks were clumsy and hard along with the buttons and I didn’t think I’d have to endure finger pain just to get a few kills. The thing is big and heavy it was hard to stretch my fingers across it and communication was non-existent with Turtle beach headset and even the generic Microsoft headset due to the mic port not working . At around $50 dollars I was less than impressed with all the above issues but there were some cool things like plugging it in to your pc to adjust stick sensitivity and remap buttons it also showed all the modes and even had a special one for black ops zombies. But after a few weeks I had resorted back to my old plain Xbox controller getting destroyed once again. As of today I left it with a family member and it has ceased to operate anymore so $50 dollars gone.
After the Datel mistake me and some friends were scanning the internet for drop shot mods to see if they existed after being destroyed in a game of domination. What we came across was the Intensifire 3.0 and Intesifire 3.0 h/s I opted for the 3.0 which came equipped with 5 modes while the H/S comes equipped including drop shot and rapid fire but only comes in pre-installed controllers that start at around $89.00 dollars after the datel incident I couldn’t see taking a chance on $90 dollars. We watched the video on the easy install with the glue and how fast it was ready to roll after. So after a few days I found one on e bay on sale for $25 dollars instead of $35 dollars so I said to myself what‘s the worst that could happen . After a few days I received the package and took it to work the next day to install it 5 -10min install with glue right not at all I couldn’t get the thing to work and after spending an additional 4hrs after work trying to put it in I was feeling like I had lost more money in my attempt for revenge. The one thing I can say is it’s nice that you can use nail polish remover to remove the glue over and over again. I was so aggravated I borrowed a friends soldering iron and it was time to roll only learning to solder a week before I was nervous about burning up the board or controller but I could throw any more money away within 15min the red light was on and I was emptying clips fast. I love this this thing minus the installation it has been great very easy to turn on and off change modes and even the mode 5 user mode has been effortless. For a cheap affordable mod you can’t go wrong with this one it is not as fast as many others but its enough for people new to fps to have a small advantage on others don’t get me wrong without aiming skills or knowing map layout you can have the fastest mod and still be destroyed but if you have a little talent you should be at the top of the match board every time. So over the past few months I’ve play all the cod games and bf 3 this mod has been the most reliable and I’d most definitely say  if you buy it do not use the glue solder it in and if possible just buy the H/S modes.
