Calling - Details explored

2009-11-07T14:04:00.017-05:00

The Nintendo Wii has been look down by some as a smaller, tamer console - not able to hold its own due to a lack of mature titles. However, the console has gained a coveted list of successful survival horror titles ( Resident Evil 4, House Of The Dead: Overkill, Dead Space: Extraction, etc) for Wii fans to chew on. The latest, upcoming title to join the list is called Calling. Developed by Hudson Soft, this new horror game pays homage to the Japanese horror movie classics like Ju-On (The Grudge) with its gripping horror story, creepy ghost girl scares and mystery solving gameplay. Here are the basics:

STORY

The story of Calling revolves around a website called "The Black Page" that possesses a counter that is rumored to show the number of people who have died after visiting the site. Shinichi and Rin, the heroes of this scary tale are drawn into a dark void after visiting the website's chat room. The void lies between life and death which explains the ghostly threats that lie in wait to get them. Rin and Shinichi must uncover clues, dodge ghosts and use their cellphones in order to survive the horrors of The Black Page.

you know what they say, never look back ... I think!

SETTING

The game's world is separated into two plains; the normal plain and the void. The void looks just like the normal plain except that its dark and somewhat deserted. of course the ghosts will keep you company when its there time to scare you. Levels consist of an abandoned school, hospital, households and more and you'll be exploring them to find out what's going on while avoiding ghastly confrontations.

GAMEPLAY

Calling is played in first person perspective and characters are controlled using the Wii remote. Players will use the Wii remote's pointer function to interact with objects and the analog stick to move the character for exploring through the ghost infested buildings in the game. Players will engage in "sleuthing" meaning they will examine objects for clues to progress the storyline. When encountering ghosts characters must flee before the apparition grabs them. If this happens the screen will flash red and a heartbeat meter will show up giving and intense experience of adrenaline charged fear. The player will then have to shake the Wii remote and follow button commands until their character pushes off the ghost before its too late. Cellphones also play a valuable role in gameplay. They not only provide clues, they also act as communication between the characters and the ghosts...spooky.

Calling has the potential to be added into the Wii's hall of survival horror hits. Wait till its release sometime next year to see the review here on The Game Eye. Until then, keep informed gamers.

Metro 2033 - Details Surface

2009-11-02T19:26:00.002-05:00

THQ and 4A Games have joined forces to deliver a post-apocalyptic thrill ride unlike any other. Their upcoming title in particular is Metro 2033, a first person shooter for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC that translates the 2005 Russian novel hit of the same name, and the details are here for your reading pleasure. Now for those of you who have already read the masterpiece that sold over 400 000 copies, you'll probably know what the game's plot will be like. But for those who haven't (like me) read on, I got you covered with details:

PLOT

The story of Metro 2033 is set in a (don't say it) post-apocalyptic torn future Moscow. A nuclear holocaust has left the world ravaged. Radiation from the outcome has left cities unfit for people to populate, mutated forests and even produce monstrous mutations. Therefore, the few thousand human survivors in Russia sought refuge in the largest underground nuclear shelter called "Moscow metro".

Fast forward twenty years later and the Moscow metro civilization has adapted to life underground. However, life on Earth is anything but hospitable. Everything on the surface lays in ruins, there are no planes and all railroads remain dead, tv and radio communications no longer exist and the colonies down below are separated in factions, each with their own ideals, beliefs and religion.

From here, players are introduced to the northern outpost and their role. They assume the identity of Artem, a 20 year old male who was born sometime before the holocaust but spent most of his life growing up as an orphan in the Moscow metro colony during and after it. As Artem, players will have to struggle for survival when they are given a task to warn other colonies of the dangerous mutants called "Dark Ones" after they descend upon the unsuspecting populace and attack.

SETTING

The world is covered with melted structures, ash and debris. Building lay half ruined and a nuclear winter (grey ash) milks the scenery above. Down below, the subway refuge is rundown with rusty pipes, and dust riddled throughout its tunnels. People wearing dirty clothing including children converse through this society gone down. Engineers have build electrical plants and water supplies with purifiers with what little they have. Its an almost complete gloomy site with the exception of somewhat civilized life occupying it.

GAMEPLAY

Metro 2033 is a first person shooter so expect firearms to be at your disposal. However, you'll also have to rely on equipment like gas masks when going up to the surface since the air is no longer breathable, watches and more. Vehicles are also accessible but little is known about how you will be using them during missions. Metro 2033 is also a highly dynamic game when played. Dynamics in combat allow you to specifically tailor your fighting style in-game (be a strike trooper or a stealth fighter). Dynamics also apply to character interaction especially in the case of dealing with the various political or religious environments within the colony. You can move the story in any direction you choose depending on how you interact with a certain social standpoint. And let's not forget about the A.I. Your enemies especially the Dark Ones will display nerve racking, intelligent behavior during combat like take cover, retreat, call for help, set up ambushes and more.

TECHNOLOGY

If you saw the logos at the beginning of the trailer, then you know that Nvidia PhysX will be the architect of the PC version. It will enlist the rendering capabilities of DirectX 9/10, as well as DirectX 11 to deliver the most detailed world ever. And since its PhysX, expect perfect touches like precised physics, dynamic lighting and shadow effects, distorted vision from gas mask lens and more. The console versions don't have PhysX but you'll be happy to know that they'll sport just as much realistic visuals as their PC counterpart.

THQ and 4A Games could very well make an impact in the post-apocalyptic fps genre when they release the game sometime next year. But with competition like id Software's Rage and 2K Games Bioshock 2 also expected to be released next year, we can't be too sure if Metro 2033 will be worth the retail until the dust settles. Stay tuned for more Metro 2033 news here at The Game Eye.
