TIGER WOODS PGA TOUR 14 NEW GAMEPLAY ENHANCEMENTS DELIVER ON-THE-COURSE AUTHENTICITY

Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 14 will feature a host of community-driven gameplay enhancements that will significantly change the in-game experience and how players approach a round on the links. From swing styles and greater ball control to era specific equipment and true ball physics, Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 14 continues to elevate the authenticity of the franchise and blur the lines between real life and virtual golf.

  • Go back in time      and experience golf through the various eras, starting in the late 1800’s      through present day. As users advance through the timeline, they will see      and feel the true ball physics and equipment representative of each era.      In the early eras, ball spin and trajectory are slower and lower in      comparison to how the ball reacts to today’s equipment. Fans will be able      to hit the links with retro golf clubs, such as Mashies, Brassies, Baffing      Spoons, Jiggers and Niblicks. Pairing the old equipment with the      true-to-life ball physics from those early years gives golf fans an      authentic gameplay representation of what it was like to play a round in      those eras.
  • Presentation elements      in Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 14 have been completely revamped to put      players right into the action and emotion of a PGA TOUR broadcast. The      first thing users will see is new situation specific data, scoring and a      broadcast presentation package that emulates a tournament-like television      experience. Additionally, statistics will surface throughout each round,      letting you track your performance against the rest of the field in a      variety of categories such as, driving distance, putts per hole and      birdies. This year, Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 14 will feature over 3,300      camera shots, including overhead, close-up and green-side angles in      addition to many others. Even the look and feel of Tiger Woods PGA TOUR      14 will shift alongside its real-life majors as players will also see      the leaderboards that are distinct and synonymous with the Masters      Tournament, U.S. Open, The Open Championship and the PGA      Championship.
  • Twenty four unique golfer swing styles are available this year, enabling players to customize      gameplay to the next level. Users can tailor the career mode golfer by      selecting power versus control, fade versus draw, trajectory and      handedness. Players now have the opportunity to choose whether they want      to be a power-draw hitter like Dustin Johnson or swing like Luke Donald      who has pin point accuracy off the tee. Each pro golfer in Tiger Woods      PGA TOUR 14 has their own authentic swing style.
  • This year’s game features a new enhanced Strike      Meter which enables gamers to hit the ball with consistency out of any      lie with a properly executed stroke. The Strike Meter introduces a left to      right movement to simulate scenarios players would face in real life, such      as side hill lies which demand an altered reach, to create an authentic      ball striking experience in any given situation.
  • A fifth difficulty setting has been added to Tiger      Woods PGA TOUR 14 this year. Simulation difficulty was      designed for those players who want to experience what the PGA TOUR pros      face each week. In Simulation difficulty, the swing meter, green grid,      zoom to aim, along with other aids are turned off. This mode is the truest      test of skill for the hardcore fans. With this difficulty setting, users      can implement the new advanced shot shaping feature to work the ball and      attack courses with creativity, just like the pros and Legends.

BenQ Australia project great things for 2013

BenQ Australia’s 2013 new year’s resolution is sharper than ever

in 3D, Full HD,1080p definition

There’s resolutions – the type we commit to at the commencement of each new year, and then there’s ‘resolution’ – which is what you look for in a quality home entertainment projector.  BenQ, the number 2 projector brand worldwide and a trusted name in home entertainment projection, are pleased to announce the launch of two new Full-HD projectors – the W1070 and the highly acclaimed W1080ST.

BenQ’s W1080ST is the first 3D, Full-HD short-throw video projector to be released anywhere in the world, and will be available in Australia in late January 2013.  The W1070 is the brand’s first home entertainment model offering Full-HD 3D viewing for under $1000, and it too will be available in January.

Specifications at a Glance:

Said Chee F. Chung, general manager for BenQ Australia, “The W1080ST home entertainment projector is an exciting release for us because it is a unique offering, packed with desirable features and showcasing full-HD content in sharp 1080p definition.  Due to it being a short throw projector, it can adapt to any room’s layout, size and ambient light levels.

“It’s the world’s first Full-HD short throw home entertainment projector, creating a 65” image when positioned at a distance of just one metre, preventing image obstruction and shadows on the screen which is particularly important when engaging in motion sensing games,” said Chung.

“Likewise, the W1070 is a quality home entertainment projector offering great bang for your buck – it’s our first fully featured 3D Full-HD projector with a retail price of less than $1000 and in this price category it is unrivalled.  We expect both projectors to perform very strongly for us in 2013,” she continued.

It will be available for both the XBox 360 and PC and as a digital download, later this year. Atari will publish and distribute all versions of the game under an exclusive license agreement.

STX takes place in tomorrow’s world, one that is infested with conflicts amongst the geo-political power brokers. A world in which conventional warfare is dead, diplomacy is an affront to the hidden agenda of national objectives, and global strategy is accomplished using clandestine military power.

Initially revealed at by G4 at Gamescom in July, it has since won two show awards at the Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle in August for “Best Surprise Reveal” and runner up for “Best Shooter”.

Created by world renowned independent developer Zombie Studios, STX puts you in the role of an elite soldier in a Special Forces squad.

STX supports asymmetric game play with 2-4 teams and 5 frenetic game types. Cooperative play between team members is richly rewarded, giving small coordinated teams an advantage in the battle. Players also can choose to take dogs into the firefight with them. Use the dogs of war to guard your back or eliminate the enemy.

Grand Theft Auto V Is Coming 9.17.2013 (US EST)

Today, we have an official release date to share with you: Grand Theft Auto V will arrive in stores on September 17, 2013 (US EST).

We know this is about four months later than originally planned and we know that this short delay will come as a disappointment to many of you, but, trust us, it will be worth the extra time.

To all Grand Theft Auto fans, please accept our apologies for the delay, and our promise that the entire team here is working very hard to make the game all it can be. We are doing all we can to help ensure it will meet if not exceed your expectations come September – we thank you for your support and patience.
