First glimpse at Unreal Tournament 3 achievements

OXM writes: "OXM took a cheeky picture of the achievements screen for Unreal Tournament 3, allowing you the first ever glimpse at how to grab gamerscore from Midway's FPS.

You can see the achievements in the attached picture (viewable at the source), with the Lock And Load achievement unlocked after we completed Chapter 1 of the storyline - essentially the tutorial mission for the game.

The achievements shown are:

# Lock and load
# Soldier's blood
# Does not compute
# Not in Kansas anymore
# Just business
# Bag of bolts

There are 50 achievements in total for Unreal Tournament 3 and as you might expect, a heavy handful of them are spread across multiplayer as well as single player."

Tech Focus - Motion Blur: Is It Good For Gaming Graphics?

Opinion is divided on this one for sure! Is motion blur good for gaming? Why do developers include it?

TheOptimist2128d ago

I hate any game that has motion blur and the first thing I do is switch off the motion blur in games. It just makes me nauseous.

XentaJones2128d ago

motion blur makes me sick... so its off.

OpenGL2128d ago

I agree with Alex here, many implementations are terrible but when it is done right it improves the experience.

I always turn it off. Along with depth of field.

Mr_Wilson2128d ago

Those plus vignetting, chromatic aberration, and film grain.

Let’s be Honest, DOOM Looks like the Best First Person Shooter We’ve Seen in Ages

Alex from GamersFTW writes:

“In all seriousness though, I feel like DOOM’s success will be measured by how much the game has to offer. Graphically it’s looking spectacular, and I’m sure the latest multiplayer trailer caught all of our attention. Personally, the game is beginning to remind me of those late nights playing Unreal Tournament 3, which is totally a good thing. This, in addition to the promise of user-generated content, is making DOOM look like the best first-person shooter I’ve seen in ages.”

The campaign looks brilliant, like a true nostalgia trip to the original DOOM titles of old! The multiplayer equally looks like a trip down memory lane to fast-paced and frantic arena games a-la Quake, and honestly the MP REALLY makes me want to the get game at launch to capitalise on the hype. Problem is I'm not overly fussed with multiplayer typically in games, they can get weary after a while, and buying a game solely for its MP is risky - especially on console - as it's heavily dependant on the community!

Rock to my left, hard place to my right..

EDIT: On the MP note, does anyone know if it'll have bots available, similar to Unreal Tournament 3? I still give that a quick play time to time with bots (and all the mad mutators).

I’m exactly the same, usually multiplayer games are of no interest to me. But DOOM has sparked my curiosity, especially as someone who used to enjoy multiplayer first person shooters like Quake/Unreal. Totally understand your concerns about it being heavily dependant on the community, too. Which is just another reason they should include bots, in case the numbers need to be made up. I’m hoping the community will be good, considering the creative freedoms they’re handing over with the SnapMap thing.

Its basically a "console" ahead, in terms of graphics, of another shooter called Homefront thats getting ready to release. LOL

wakeNbake2959d ago

Well thats just a low budget turd, no comparison at all.
