Alien: Isolation™ Coming to Nintendo Switch
Alien: Isolation™ coming to Nintendo Switch DATE: Wednesday, June 12th, 2019 CONTACT: Mary Musgrave at [email protected] Feral Interactive today announced that Alien: Isolation, the AAA survival horror game, is coming to Nintendo Switch. Originally developed by Creative Assembly and published by SEGA, Alien: Isolation won multiple awards, and was critically acclaimed for its tense, atmospheric gameplay and fidelity to the production values of the iconic 20th Century Fox film, Alien. In an original story set fifteen years after the events of the film, players take on the role of Ellen Ripley’s daughter Amanda, who seeks to discover the truth behind her mother’s disappearance. Marooned aboard the remote space station Sevastopol with a few desperate survivors, players must stay out of sight, and use their wits to survive as they are stalked by the ever-present, unstoppable Alien. Sevastopol Station is a labyrinthine environment that contains hundreds of hidden items that provide clues to the station’s catastrophic decline. As they explore, players will crawl through air vents, scope out hiding places, scavenge for resources, and deploy tech in a life-or-death struggle to outthink the terrifying Alien, whose unpredictable, dynamic behaviour evolves after each encounter. Alien: Isolation on Nintendo Switch will feature technologies such as gyroscopic aiming and HD rumble to immerse players in its terrifying world wherever they play. A trailer for Alien: Isolation on Switch is available now. About Feral Interactive Feral Interactive is a leading publisher of games for the macOS, Linux, iOS and Android platforms, founded in 1996 and based in London, England. -

Terrain Rendering in Frostbite Using Procedural Shader Splatting
Chapter 5: Terrain Rendering in Frostbite Using Procedural Shader Splatting Chapter 5 Terrain Rendering in Frostbite Using Procedural Shader Splatting Johan Andersson 7 5.1 Introduction Many modern games take place in outdoor environments. While there has been much research into geometrical LOD solutions, the texturing and shading solutions used in real-time applications is usually quite basic and non-flexible, which often result in lack of detail either up close, in a distance, or at high angles. One of the more common approaches for terrain texturing is to combine low-resolution unique color maps (Figure 1) for low-frequency details with multiple tiled detail maps for high-frequency details that are blended in at certain distance to the camera. This gives artists good control over the lower frequencies as they can paint or generate the color maps however they want. For the detail mapping there are multiple methods that can be used. In Battlefield 2, a 256 m2 patch of the terrain could have up to six different tiling detail maps that were blended together using one or two three-component unique detail mask textures (Figure 4) that controlled the visibility of the individual detail maps. Artists would paint or generate the detail masks just as for the color map. Figure 1.

Overhead view of Battlefield: Bad Company landscape Figure 3. Close up view of Battlefield: Bad Company landscape 39 Chapter 5: Terrain Rendering in Frostbite Using Procedural Shader Splatting There are a couple of potential problems with all these traditional terrain texturing and rendering methods going forward, that we wanted to try to solve or improve on when developing our Frostbite engine. -
