JUST CAUSE 3: STORY & MISSIONS DEV DIARY AVAILABLE NOW

NEW VIDEO LOOKS AT PERFORMANCE CAPTURE BRINGING CHARACTERS TO LIFE

The fourth – and penultimate – entry in the JUST CAUSE 3 Dev Diary series takes a look at the story and missions driving JUST CAUSE 3’ s explosive action.

In JUST CAUSE 3, Rico Rodriguez returns to his homeland – the Mediterranean island of Medici. Far from the paradise it might appear on the surface, Medici is ruled by the dictator General Di Ravello, who uses the island’s resources to further his plans of world domination. Thankfully, Rico is no stranger to removing tyrannous dictators from power, and takes charge of the rebellion.

 “Our missions are an excuse for you to try cool things,” explains Francesco Antolini, Principal Designer at Avalanche Studios. “…we’ve kept the same philosophy from the rest of the game which leaves the player free to experiment and reach their goals however they prefer.”

As well as highlighting the story and events leading up to the start of the game, the video takes a look at characters and the technologies behind them. In the video, there’s a fantastic insight into performance capture and the camera tech Avalanche Studios has used in bringing JUST CAUSE 3’s cast to life.

Nexon Teams up with Respawn Entertainment to Bring “Titanfall” Games to Mobile Devices Worldwide

Nexon and Respawn Make Strategic Investment in Mobile Game Developer Particle City to Create Exciting New Gameplay Experiences Based on Critically-Acclaimed Title

TOKYO – Oct. 30, 2015 – NEXON Co., Ltd. (“Nexon”) (3659.TO), a worldwide leader in free-to-play online and mobile games, and independent videogame developer Respawn Entertainment announced today that the companies have partnered to create several new and original smartphone and tablet games based on the expansive sci-fi universe of Titanfall. In connection with the partnership, the two companies jointly invested in mobile game developer Particle City, the studio leading the development of the upcoming titles. In this multi-game, multi-year partnership, Nexon will serve as the exclusive global publisher of the Titanfall mobile games, with the first game expected to be released worldwide on iOS and Android in 2016.

“As a player and fan of Titanfall I am delighted to be working with the talented team at Respawn to bring the world of Titanfall to mobile and tablet,” commented Owen Mahoney, President and Chief Executive Officer, Nexon. “Working closely with our partners at Respawn and Particle City we intend to build on the original game’s success and introduce millions of mobile gamers to the rich  Titanfall universe.”

The collaboration with Respawn and Particle City is Nexon’s latest in a series of global partnerships with renowned developers. Recently, Nexon announced a partnership with Respawn and Electronic Arts to bring a PC online version of the award-winning first-person shooter Titanfall to Asia. In April 2015, Nexon published the hit mobile strategy game DomiNations, which was developed by Big Huge Games, an independent studio co-founded by 24-year industry veterans Brian Reynolds and Tim Train, famous for online strategy games Civilization II and Rise of Nations. Nexon also recently announced the details of LawBreakers, the first game from Cliff Bleszinski and Arjan Brussee’s Boss Key Productions.

“Our partnership with Nexon is momentous for many reasons,” said Vince Zampella, CEO & Co-Founder, Respawn Entertainment. “Nexon’s unrivaled publishing network and free-to-play expertise will allow Titanfall to reach new global audiences. And with Particle City, we are closely collaborating to create all-new standalone games with original gameplay experiences that expand the Titanfall universe to players everywhere.”

Particle City was co-founded by industry veteran Larry Pacey and Respawn CEO Vince Zampella in 2015. The new developer will be led by Pacey, with Zampella serving in a creative advisor role.

Through the partnership, Nexon and Respawn will build on Titanfall’s premier franchise to deliver a high-quality game experience to the $30 billion mobile gaming market, the largest gaming platform globally. Praised as an evolution of the first-person shooter genre, Titanfall was the most-awarded game of E3 2013, earning more than 100 nominations and 60-plus wins, including a record-breaking six E3 Critics’ Awards. The title was the third highest-rated Xbox One game released in 2014, according to videogame review score aggregator Metacritic.

The development team had earlier collaborated on the unreleased survival horror-themed game  Slasher Vol. 1: Summer Camp and plans to integrate much of that design into the new  Friday the 13 th game. “As you can imagine the conversion from Slasher Vol.1: Summer Camp to  Friday the 13th: The Game was a dream come true for our entire team” explained Ronnie Hobbs, of Gun Media. “1v7 asymmetrical multiplayer is a perfect fit for this franchise, and we can’t wait to share our creation with fans across the world.“ “It’s been nearly 30 years since fans have had the opportunity to experience a  Friday the 13th video game.” explained Sean S. Cunningham, creator of the  Friday the 13th franchise. “Technology has finally reached a level that allows us to produce an experience fans of the franchise deserve. It’s always been a dream of mine to let players fully BECOME Jason, and stalk camp counselors across a virtual Crystal Lake. I’m delighted we’re able to bring this fantasy to life!“ Friday the 13th: The Game is being developed for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4, for release in Fall, 2016.

PROJECT CONTROLLER MATERIAL BATCH – PLAYSTATION CONTROLLER HACK

On 26^th of October 2015 Nissan’s Project Controller will enter the PlayStation Controller Hack phase. The idea with this phase is to reveal how the actual controller hack and programming was done. We are going to talk about the accomplishments and challenges we faced.

Here’s the description of the phase on Project Controller web page:

26^th of October – PLAYSTATION CONTROLLER HACK

Hacking the PlayStation controller turned out to be quite a hassle.

Our initial idea was to hack the Bluetooth signals but that was way too tricky. After several failed attempts and moments of despair we decided to open up the controller and add our own cables to send signals from a microcontroller to simulate the button pushes. Now, after hours of hardcore hacking, everything is working more smoothly than we could possible imagine.

Next we need to connect the controller to the Nissan QASHQAI.

In addition to the description above, we are going to post film content and still images of the hacking process on our web site and social channels. But in order to create enough social buzz, we need your help.

Attached you will find still shots, a GIF animation and a link to a YouTube video (https://youtu.be/tHB3-DWbFH8) free to be published any way you choose. Please post and boost them as much as possible. You can also share this content with your associates and influencers.

We encourage you to use your imagination and hope that you post in your own words, but here’s a few example posts just to demonstrate the correct tone of voice.

“The first step in turning a car into a PlayStation controller. #Nissan #ProjectController”

“Ever tried to hack a PlayStation controller? Here’s how you do it. #Nissan #ProjectController”

“Turning a Nissan into a PES16 controller doesn’t seem that easy. #Nissan #ProjectController”

The story of The Nissan Controller is just beginning so let’s make this a huge thing for all of us.
