Retour à Miami, 6 mois plus tôt. On comprend que le jeu fonctionne en flash-back qui propose de découvrir comment notre flic préféré s‘est retrouvé plus tard dans cette sévère panade, quelques pruneaux plantés dans le lard. Driver 3 (Driv3r) n‘a pas manqué de susciter un vif intérêt chez la presse spécialisée, promettant du beau spectacle. Ce qui était attendu, c‘était la négociation du virage après la déception produite par Driver 2. Malheureusement, au vu du résultat, Driv3r n‘atteindra pas la place de « must » qu‘il pouvait briguer. Ce n‘est pas faute d‘avoir joué de bonne volonté. En témoigne la distribution des comédiens réels qui ont prêté leurs voix aux personnages principaux du jeu (dont les doublages français ont été eux-mêmes assurés par les voix officielles hexagonales) : Mickey Rourke, Ving Rhames et même le rocker Iggy Pop ! Mais avançons davantage dans les explications. Pour commencer, le principe de jeu, s‘il reste divertissant, souffre d‘un manque d‘innovation qui soit dit au passage, est assez curieux par les temps qui courent. On reste simplement dans la lignée de ce qu‘on connaissait auparavant : une succession de missions alternant séquences de conduite débridée ou à pied où vous pourrez vous adonner aux joies de la destruction mécanique et de la cascade en tout genre avec une délectation certaine. C‘est bien, mais sans rien de neuf. (Suite page 2) DRIV3R – site officiel du jeu vidéo : www. driv3r.com 1 (Jeu vidéo : Driv3r œ suite de la page 1) Driv3r : Les missions présentent toujours un caractère varié appréciable : filature, escorte, transport les screenshots d‘explosifs, savatage de caisses, courses poursuites en pleine ville etc… Chacune offre un challenge intéressant dont il faudra venir à bout avec dextérité et sang froid. Vos poursuivants (ou ceux qui tentent de vous fuir) sont aussi d‘habiles conducteurs animés d‘une hargne féroce parfois même exagérée. Par contre, on se demande où est passée la police qui vous coursait auparavant lors de vos excès de vitesse. Ca mettait du piment dans la sauce mais là, ce doit être la grève des fonctionnaires… Les missions sont liées entre elles par des cinématiques de qualité moyenne, où les visages des protagonistes sont singulièrement inexpressifs. Pire, lorsque le moteur du jeu prend le relais pour les séquences de transition… C‘est si laid qu‘on pourrait presque compter les polygones à l‘Œil nu, sans Les textures sont sommaires parler des déplacements des personnages du style crise d‘épilepsie ! Signalons que le scénario, bien mais la conduite de bagnoles que parfois peu explicite, demeure immersif et que la B.O plutôt agréable est bien dans le ton. procure toujours du plaisir. La conduite de voiture reste le cŒur même du jeu. C‘est avec un bonheur non dissimulé que l‘on s‘installe au volant d‘une caisse et que l‘on démarre pied au plancher par un burnout sauvage. Le comportement des véhicules est toujours caractérisé par une physique très particulière qui force à la conduite nerveuse. Les suspensions ultra molles laissent la part belle aux effets de la force centrifuge. A chacun d‘apprécier, mais en tous cas, ça encourage la conduite spectaculaire. Driv3r propose en outre de prendre le volant de divers véhicules dont des motos (nouveauté) à la maniabilité assez curieuse... On vous rassure ? Oui, vous pouvez vous taper les boulevards en roue arrière ! Cela nous amène inévitablement à parler du moteur physique Flic ou truand ? Tanner pris en qui est le point fort du jeu : la gestion des collisions et des flag‘ de car-jacking… dommages est très réussie et voir votre véhicule amoché se démembrer petit à petit au gré des secousses est un régal. Attention toutefois, conduire une épave n‘est pas chose aisée sachant que vous risquez de tomber en rade à un moment inopportun. Sachez aussi que lors d‘un choc, les passagers des véhicules enregistrent des dommages. Si vous êtes toujours en vie après une belle embardée, libre à vous de vous livrer au bon vieux car-jacking afin de disposer d‘un Crash test : voila ce qui arrive véhicule en meilleur état. quand on grille les priorités. Gunfight sous le soleil : admirez Vos pérégrinations vous conduiront à sillonner 3 villes : l‘élégance de Tanner, raide Miami, Nice et Istanbul qui malgré leur gigantisme souffrent comme un piquet de clôture. paradoxalement d‘une fréquentation automobile et piétonne assez légère. Pour parler des choses Sachez que l‘aliasing est déjà délicates, les graphismes n‘ont rien d‘exceptionnel et tirent même vers une laideur peu commune : présent au niveau de la caisse au peu d‘effets de lumière, des textures souvent pauvres… Le pire, c‘est que Driv3r affiche un aliasing 1er plan ! Ca laisse sans voix… et un clipping désastreux ! Surprenant, voire honteux pour un soft dernière génération ! En bref, du point de vue graphique, c‘est une vraie bérézina. On peut résumer ça en une question : « Comment cela se peut-il ? ». Et les phases à pieds viennent en rajouter une belle couche… Cette nouveauté implémentée dans Driver 2 n‘a subi que peu de rectifications : Tanner est toujours souple comme un lampadaire (même s‘il y a du mieux) et surtout, il est incapable d‘exécuter les mouvement de tout être humain normalement constitué : il sait marcher et courir, sauter (genre chèvre boiteuse à trois pattes…), dégainer une arme, tirer et au besoin s‘accroupir. Une fois dans cette dernière position, en gymnaste averti, il sait au moins faire la roulade avant (inutile...) mais ne lui demandez pas de se déplacer, il est trop raide pour ça… Sûrement l‘arthrose avec l‘âge. C‘est assez affolant sachant que vous devrez en découdre avec des bandits bien armés. Mais fort heureusement vos ennemis ont d‘un commun accord décidés de tourner une pub géante pour Super Glue 3 , restant généralement rivés à leur position même sous un déluge de balles ! C‘est affligeant, mais forcément, c‘est bien calibré avec les capacités réduites de Tanner. Viser avec une arme est un véritable supplice et le mode vue subjective alors disponible n‘arrange que peu l‘affaire. La caméra que l‘on dirige avec le stick droit pour modifier l‘angle de vue offre aussi quelques surprise, dont de bons vieux bugs d‘affichage du Fiche technique genre « le morceau de mur incrusté dans l‘écran ». C‘est assez sauvage.

Tout ça nous ramène quelques Développeur : années en arrière dans les premiers jeux de shoot‘em up 3D à la troisième personne, mais sans le charme de Reflections Plateforme : l‘époque. Ce ne serait pas bien gênant si ces phases de jeu restaient accessoires… Mais malheureusement, Testé sur PS2 parfois, elles prennent franchement le pas sur la conduite… également disponible sur X-Box En bref, ni mieux ni moins bien que ses aînés, Driv3r s‘avère être une déception, la réalisation graphique de Support : DVD-PS2 piètre qualité et la maniabilité désastreuse lors des phases à pieds enfonçant le clou profondément.

  • Após Cinco Shows Nostálgicos, Midnight Oil Se Despede Do Brasil
    Após cinco shows nostálgicos, Midnight Oil se despede do Brasil Entre os anos 80 e a primeira década do novo século, o Midnight Oil saiu da Austrália para ganhar o mundo, transformando-se em uma das referências do rock´n roll mundial, não só pela qualidade de seu som, mas também pela força de suas ideias. Suas fortes convicções políticas, sua defesa das principais causas ambientais e dos direitos do povo aborígene transformaram seus hits em hinos, seus shows em eventos que ressuscitaram a mítica do espírito contestador e inconformista do rock’n roll. Fundada em 1972, como The Farm (o grupo mudou o nome para Midnight Oil em 76), a banda lançou 13 álbuns entre 1978 e 2002 (ano do lançamento de seu último trabalho, Capricornia), esteve no topo das paradas em todo o mundo, fez turnês por todos os continentes e viveu momentos memoráveis, como quando se apresentou para um público estimado em mais de 1 bilhão de pessoas no encerramento das Olimpíadas de Sidney, em 2000. Após a turnê de lançamento do último álbum e a saída do vocalista Peter Garrett (que deixou a banda para seguir uma carreira política em tempo integral), o Midnight Oil decidiu encerrar suas atividades. Em fevereiro, em uma coletiva de imprensa realizada no porto de Sidney, a banda anunciou uma nova turnê mundial - The Great Circle 2017 World Tour - que começa com um show em um pub em Sydney e, em seguida, passará pelo Brasil, América do Norte, Europa e Nova Zelândia, antes de retornar à Austrália para um encerramento culminante.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

  • Southern Land, Hardened Heart: the Possibility of Australian Neon Noir
    Southern Land, Hardened Heart: the possibility of Australian neon noir Christopher Przewloka Bachelor of Fine Arts (Creative Writing) Creative Writing and Literary Studies (Hons) Creative Industries Faculty Creative Writing and Literary Studies Discipline Queensland University of Technology Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2016 Keywords Neon noir, hard-boiled, crime writing, genre, craft, Australian fiction, creative writing, practice-led research. ii Abstract Much can be learnt from dwelling in the dark underbelly of society, and it is for such reasons neon noir crime fiction has become one of the most enduring ways of analysing our culture at large. Evolving from the hard-boiled private detective stories found in early pulp fiction magazines, neon noir offers violent narratives that vivisect the social, historical, and political landscape, often blurring the line between fact and fiction. Thus neon noir eschews the romanticism of the classic hard-boiled model, and embraces something far more subversive: populist novels driven by contemporary cultural analysis. Despite both literary and commercial success in North America, Australian authors have often shied away from wholly embracing the neon noir style. This is somewhat perplexing, as Australia has had a long and enduring relationship with all forms of crime writing, especially hard-boiled—the progenitor of neon noir. So why do we shy away from the neon noir style in Australia? What are the difficulties, considerations, and possibilities of localising the form? Do the conventions of the sub-genre shift when placed in an Australian setting? This practice-led thesis consists of an Australian neon noir novel entitled Coffin’s Reach, and a 50,000 word exegesis that accompanies the creative work.

  • 'I Don't Like It'
    (A version of this article appeared in Perfect Beat: The Pacific Journal for Research into Contemporary Music and Popular Culture, vol 4, no 4, 2000, pp 3-28). ‘I DON’T LIKE IT’: PAULINE PANTSDOWN AND THE POLITICS OF THE INAUTHENTIC At the end of August 1997, four months after the launch of her One Nation party, Pauline Hanson, the right-wing populist politician, who at that time was still the federal member for the Queensland seat of Oxley, had Brisbane solicitors Watkins Stokes Templeton take out an injunction against the ABC to prevent Triple J, the youth-oriented radio station, playing the song ‘(I’m a) Back Door Man.’ This song, by drag artist Pauline Pantsdown was not for sale and, indeed, was only ever played on Triple J to which it had been made available on cassette. Triple J had been playing it for ten days, increasingly often as feedback from its audience suggested the song’s growing popularity. In spite of this brief and limited exposure, the song came in at number five in Triple J’s audience-voted hottest one hundred songs of 1997.1 Exactly a year later, at the end of August 1998, Pauline Pantsdown released ‘I Don’t Like It,’ this time commercially available as a single, through TWA Records. Judged on sales for the week of 28th September-4th October, ‘I Don’t Like It’ was number four in the Australian Music Report chart, and number one in the Alternative chart. Like ‘Back Door Man,’ ‘I Don’t Like It’ was a dance track which used digitally reconstructed cut-ups of Hanson’s speech.

  • 2002. the Case of Midnight Oil
    Coolabah, No.5, 2011, ISSN 1988-5946, Observatori: Centre d’Estudis Australians, Australian Studies Centre, Universitat de Barcelona Beyond Rock. Social commitment and political conscience through Popular Music in Australia 1976 - 2002. The case of Midnight Oil Roger Bonastre Copyright©2011 Roger Bonastre. This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged. Abstract: The work and career of Midnight Oil illustrate a case of interaction between culture and politics in Australia. Furthermore they represent an example of social commitment from the sphere of urban popular culture. For a quarter of a century Midnight Oil offered a critical and ideological interpretation of the Australian social and political evolution. Aware of and sensitive to changes and events happening around them, five Sydneysiders thought about Australian identity in terms of what they considered to be their national challenges from a universal perspective. Hence, they approached issues like pacifism, Indigenous rights and environmentalism and developed a social and political discourse based on the defence of human rights and a condemnation of capitalist excesses. Through more than a hundred songs and almost two thousand gigs the band urged politicians to reassess the institutions. At the same time they criticized people’s apathy asking them for a deeper engagement with the development of the country’s welfare. Finally, in December 2002, Peter Garrett quit his singer-activist journey to launch a political career by joining the Australian Labor Party, for which he is the current Minister for School Education, Early Childhood and Youth in the Julia Gillard Government.
