TeamXbox Home Review – Fanatec Speedster 3 ForceShock [Register] [Login Now] Xbox News By: Dale Nardozzi - "Legba" Games Search Features May 7th, 2005 Editorials Ask anyone that own an Xbox about its Interviews shortcomings and they will probably have a hard Xbox Hardware time thinking of any. Now, pose the same question to the racing game crowd and the immediate Xbox Events response will most likely be: “No force feedback!” Xbox FAQ There are differing opinions as to why the Xbox Search TeamXbox does not support force feedback, and none of them revolve around the difficulties associated with RSS Feeds programming it or its relative cost. The lack of force Xbox Games Info feedback support has kept many peripheral Xbox Games companies from producing wheels for the harder core population of race fan. You couldn’t even buy a New Releases premium wheel if you wanted to for the Xbox, that Xbox Previews is, until now. The Speedster 3 ForceShock by Fanatec was created with one goal in mind: To Xbox Reviews provide the most realistic racing game experience Editor's Choice while working around the lack of the Xbox’s force Reader Reviews feedback support. Has Fanatec succeeded where others have failed, or haven’t even tried? We put Xbox Cheats the Speedster 3 ForceShock through the ringer, and Screenshots below are the track results… Movies Xbox Developers Xbox Publishers Features Xbox Community Programmable force feedback effect Xbox Forums Connection for Communicator and memory unit on wheel Xbox Chatroom Can be mounted on table with included bracket High-quality rubber coating on steering surface Member Articles Formula 1- style manual shift lever TeamXbox Staff Analog-mode acceleration and braking with pedals or gear levers Contact Us Ergonomic, non-slip pedals Twelve buttons (2 programmable) plus steering column and start switch IGN.com Tuning function with configurable dead zone/sensitivity/vibration/force feedback effect/resistance Xtras Four programmable memory settings for tuning TeamXbox Store $149 MSRP OXM Challenges Downloads Setup Sweepstakes The first decision you need to make with the Speedster 3 ForceShock is if you are going to affix it to a Scrapbook table or similar surface or attach it to your quads. Table mounting is straightforward with the included Xbox Live plastic clamp. The clamp must be manually installed in the Speedster 3 ForceShock for table mounting GamerTags but it’s basically an “insert and snap into place” affair; no tools required. As with most wheel’s table mounting systems, the Speedster 3 ForceShock does not function well on a surface that is overly thin. Clans You may have to shim the table or mounting surface with scraps of wood, or cardboard to build up some thickness for a secure clamping force. The Swedes like their furniture thin, so for our office’s Ikea table, we used the newer slim-line PS2 as our shim, and it performed admirably in its new, under-the-table role. Similarly, this wheel will not work perfectly with the GameRacer Pro sit-down unit (due to the steering plate’s thickness) that we love here at the offices. We’ve already contacted the crew over at XBOX REVIEWS GameRacer about this situation; hopefully they will come up with a solution that lets both units worked King of Fighters: together perfectly.

These flaps, however, will need to be folded in if table mounting is your 360) method of choice. Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack (Xbox) The Speedster 3 ForceShock isn’t like most wheels you have setup for the Xbox since it plugs into the Huxley (Xbox 360) wall like the PS2 force feedback wheels. This doesn’t make the setup much harder- just plug the power Stubbs the Zombie in adapter into the unit and the wall- but it does say a bit about the strength of the motors controlling the "Rebel without a Pulse" Speedster 3 ForceShock’s feedback and resistance effects (more on this later). The foot pedal unit plugs (Xbox) into the wheel and the wheel then plugs into the Xbox, and that’s about it for the setup of the physical unit. Once the console is turned on, the Speedster 3 ForceShock wheel will sweep through its full clockwise and counterclockwise range of movements, then center itself, which lets gamers know its time for business….sweet!

Since the Speedster 3 ForceShock was released at the Xbox Events same time as Forza Motorsport, you know that both Xbox FAQ Fanatec and Microsoft Game Studios had something Search TeamXbox up their sleeve. The game designers for Forza Motorsport worked closely with the Fanatec crew to RSS Feeds ensure that a harmony between the two products Xbox Games Info would exist.

  • 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.

  • Reality Is Broken a Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World E JANE Mcgonigal
    Reality Is Broken a Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World E JANE McGONIGAL THE PENGUIN PRESS New York 2011 ADVANCE PRAISE FOR Reality Is Broken “Forget everything you know, or think you know, about online gaming. Like a blast of fresh air, Reality Is Broken blows away the tired stereotypes and reminds us that the human instinct to play can be harnessed for the greater good. With a stirring blend of energy, wisdom, and idealism, Jane McGonigal shows us how to start saving the world one game at a time.” —Carl Honoré, author of In Praise of Slowness and Under Pressure “Reality Is Broken is the most eye-opening book I read this year. With awe-inspiring ex­ pertise, clarity of thought, and engrossing writing style, Jane McGonigal cleanly exploded every misconception I’ve ever had about games and gaming. If you thought that games are for kids, that games are squandered time, or that games are dangerously isolating, addictive, unproductive, and escapist, you are in for a giant surprise!” —Sonja Lyubomirsky, Ph.D., professor of psychology at the University of California, Riverside, and author of The How of Happiness: A Scientific Approach to Getting the Life You Want “Reality Is Broken will both stimulate your brain and stir your soul. Once you read this remarkable book, you’ll never look at games—or yourself—quite the same way.” —Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive and A Whole New Mind “The path to becoming happier, improving your business, and saving the world might be one and the same: understanding how the world’s best games work.

  • Game Developer Index 2010 Foreword
    SWEDISH GAME INDUSTRY’S REPORTS 2011 Game Developer Index 2010 Foreword It’s hard to imagine an industry where change is so rapid as in the games industry. Just a few years ago massive online games like World of Warcraft dominated, then came the breakthrough for party games like Singstar and Guitar Hero. Three years ago, Nintendo turned the gaming world upside-down with the Wii and motion controls, and shortly thereafter came the Facebook games and Farmville which garnered over 100 million users. Today, apps for both the iPhone and Android dominate the evolution. Technology, business models, game design and marketing changing almost every year, and above all the public seem to quickly embrace and follow all these trends. Where will tomorrow’s earnings come from? How can one make even better games for the new platforms? How will the relationship between creator and audience change? These and many other issues are discussed intensively at conferences, forums and in specialist press. Swedish success isn’t lacking in the new channels, with Minecraft’s unprecedented success or Battlefield Heroes to name two examples. Independent Games Festival in San Francisco has had Swedish winners for four consecutive years and most recently we won eight out of 22 prizes. It has been touted for two decades that digital distribution would outsell traditional box sales and it looks like that shift is finally happening. Although approximately 85% of sales still goes through physical channels, there is now a decline for the first time since one began tracking data. The transformation of games as a product to games as a service seems to be here.
