    Review: Nintendo's 'Star Fox Zero' crashes and burns 22 April 2016, by By Lou Kesten In theory, you can use the big screen to navigate around three-dimensional space and use the small screen to target and fire upon enemies. My problem is that I have just one set of eyes, so every time I look down at my controller I tend to slam into some random piece of space junk. If you adjust the settings so you don't need the small screen, you lose the accuracy. The controls feel a bit more manageable when you land on a planet and switch to a ground-based vehicle like the bipedal Walker or the beefy Landmaster tank. There's also the Gyrowing drone, This image released by Nintendo shows a scene from whose stealth missions drag on so long you'll be "Star Fox Zero," for the Wii U.

  • Star Fox Zero
    Factsheet Star Fox Zero Das Star Fox-Team startet mit Wii U in ein neues Abenteuer In ihrem neuen Weltraum-Abenteuer retten Fox, Falco, Peppy und Slippy – wie könnte es anders sein – das Lylat-Sonnensystem. Die Spieler erleben die Action dabei aus zwei unterschiedlichen Perspektiven, da sie sowohl den Bildschirm des Wii U GamePad als auch den Fernseher gleichzeitig nutzen: Förmlich im Cockpit ihres Arwings sitzend nehmen sie die Ich-Perspektive ein und nutzen dies zum Zielen und Schießen - während sie gleichzeitig auf dem TV-Bildschirm ihr Fluggefährt aus der Verfolger-Perspektive steuern. So erleben die Spieler die spektakulären Luftkämpfe noch intensiver. Obendrein kann man nun unwegsame Planetenoberflächen durchqueren, indem man seinen Arwing auf Knopfdruck in einen Walker verwandelt, den bekannten Landmaster-Panzer einsetzt oder sich mit dem neuen GyroWing auf den Weg macht. Features Alle Lieblingscharaktere der Serie sind mit an Bord - samt ihrer charakteristischen Dialoge! Ob Fox McCloud, Slippy, Peppy oder Falco - sie alle ertönen im stilechten Cockpit-Sound. Der Arwing lässt sich mit dem linken und dem rechten Analog-Stick punktgenau steuern. Wie mit dem Steuerknüppel eines Flugzeugs kann man Loopings, Kehrtwenden und die berühmt-berüchtigten „Barrel Roll“ Überschläge fliegen. Die exotischen Planeten lassen sich mit den verschiedenen Vehikeln mehrfach durchspielen. Zusätzlich zum Story-Modus können die Spieler auch Extra-Missionen antreten. Das Spiel bietet zwei Blickwinkel gleichzeitig: die traditionelle TV-Ansicht und die Cockpit-Perspektive auf dem Wii U GamePad. Letztere lässt auf dem TV-Bildschirm mehr Raum für filmreife Spiel- Erlebnisse. Die Spieler können ihren Arwing auch in seiner neuen Walker-Transformation steuern. Außerdem können sie die Kontrolle über den Gyrowing, ein drohnenartiges Flugobjekt übernehmen.

  • Paradigm Shift: How the Evolution of Two Generations of Home
    PARADIGM SHIFT: HOW THE EVOLUTION OF TWO GENERATIONS OF HOME CONSOLES, ARCADES, AND COMPUTERS INFLUENCED AMERICAN CULTURE, 1985-1995 By Jason Terence Wiley A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY University of Central Oklahoma Spring, 2016 iii Abstract Author: Jason Terence Wiley Thesis Chair: Dr. Patricia Loughlin Title of Thesis: Paradigm Shift: How the Evolution of Two Generations of Home Consoles, Arcades, and Computers Influenced American Culture, 1985-1995 Abstract: As of 2016, unlike many popular media forms found here in the United States, video games possess a unique influence, one that gained its own a large widespread appeal, but also its own distinct cultural identity created by millions of fans both here stateside and across the planet. Yet, despite its significant contributions, outside of the gaming’s arcade golden age of the early 1980s, the history of gaming post Atari shock goes rather unrepresented as many historians simply refuse to discuss the topic for trivial reasons thus leaving a rather noticeable gap within the overall history. One such important aspect not covered by the majority of the scholarship and the primary focus of thesis argues that the history of early modern video games in the North American market did not originate during the age of Atari in the 1970s and early 1980s. Instead, the real genesis of today’s market and popular gaming culture began with the creation and establishment of the third and fourth generation of video games, which firmly solidified gaming as both a multi-billion dollar industry and as an accepted form of entertainment in the United States.

  • The Giant, the Machine and the Human
    Techno-Giants: The Giant, the Machine and the Human Dom Ford IT University of Copenhagen Rued Langgaards Vej 7 2300 Copenhagen S [email protected] ABSTRACT The relationship between humankind and technology is fundamental, but also a longstanding source of unease, particularly as that relationship has become ever more intimate and irreversible. In this paper, I connect this age-old anxiety with the age-old figure of the giant, a monster similarly intertwined with ancient questions on the boundaries of humanity. I focus on two examples: the Human-Reaper larva in Mass Effect 2 and Liberty Prime in Fallout 3 and 4. Although different in approach, these examples demonstrate a use of a phenomenon I call the ‘techno-giant’ to explore and reflect the powerful anxieties in our cultures to do with the future of the human– technology relationship. In particular, both examples expose the human–nonhuman boundary as being exceeding difficult to define and place, despite a constant desire to. The figure of the giant offers a powerful focal point for these representations. Keywords technology, giants, monsters, cyborgs, robots, androids, mechas, posthumanism, transhumanism, abject, satire, nostalgia, retrofuture, Mass Effect, Fallout INTRODUCTION Our relationship with technology has only become more intimate in recent decades. But alongside that relationship has always been an anxiety, one not often identified but which is concerned with the boundary between the human and the nonhuman. At what point does a human who is augmented and repaired by technology cease to be human? When does a machine become human enough to be considered as human? The cyborg was (and still is) one of the central battlegrounds for this question, a boundary-blurring entity that “has no origin story in the Western sense”, according to one of the cyborg’s most influential theorists, Donna J.
