Immersion Theory

Gaming at its heart is actually a simulated reality. It is fun because it allows you to step outside your daily,boring life and jump into a more interesting one for example:a soldier fighting violent Aliens,or a superhero with electric power,or maybe a Plumber trying to save his princess from an evil villain.The success of any simulation lies in how immersed the user is in it. By immersion I mean the degree to which the senses of the user are engaged so that the user,while in that simulation is unable to differentiate reality from it. The sole objective of game developers,Console designers and anyone making anything remotely related to gaming is to increase the immersion level the game offers-Increased immersion level=Great user experience=Better ratings=more sales.There are five elements to immersion,these are like resistors connected in series in a circuit.The more of these “switches” are activated the more deeper the level of immersion goes.Basically these are actually the various senses of our mind,the same ones that allow us to feel the reality around us. That is: Seeing,touching,smelling,feeling,hearing and emotional involvement. The gaming industry has been working on Seeing (3D innovation,HD Resolution) Feeling (Motion based controllers,normal controllers) hearing (SRS,Dolby) and emotional involvement ( Story line) but it cant possibly work on smelling or touching. Atleast in the near future. As one would see,even the “switches” the gaming industry is working are far from perfect,and some of them-For example (3D TECH,HD Resolution,over expensive motion based controllers,over expensive graphic cards) are slow and expensive to develop and even slower to get adapted by gamers-also factor in fragmentation of market.hence a game developer cannot rely on these to give the immersive experience he wants. the most powerfull “Immersion switches” are emotional involvement (Better story) and a better gameplay. Hence the games that concentrate on both get the most ratings.

The elelments of Immersion


Motion Controller Vs Game Controller-A fresh perspective
As I highlighted above a better controller would be the one which provides a more immersive experience to the user. It is generally believed that motion controllers are better in this area.This according to me,may not be so. Consider the Human mind for a second it moves the respective body part only by the force of will. Now lets make a seemingly hilarious assumption. in which the Human mind becomes the controller (Something like the Dualshock for instance) When you want to move something say your hands you exert a force of will to move the hands. In a game if you want to shoot an alien you exert a force of will,which translates to a specific button press and hence the shooting happens.So infact the controller is an extension of the human mind,having the simple function of translating its will into the game. Motion controllers do the same thing,but infact in genres like shooters a controller is much more effective. (For Casual games like Virtual Table tennis,and Cricket etc a motion controller provides a more immersive experience because the hand actions are similar to the real thing) and this is because it takes less time for a button press than for a hand action. Not many people have experience in wielding an SMG,and so a motion controller does not provide the same familiarity that it can provide when you play a game such as Table Tennis. If there is no familiarity there can be no immersion and therefore according to me a Controller is much more effective than a motion controller in maintream genres.

 Review:

I got this Tablet hybrid as an end of the exam gift,I have had plenty of time to play with it and get to know its in and outs.The TF101 is a unique tablet in the sense that it comes with a proper Keyboard docking station,which houses its own Battery,2 USB Ports and one Micro SD adapter slot. On the Tab itself we have Mini HDMI,a Audio Jack,and another MicroSD slot. With the combination of this and the keyboard dock the ASUS Eeepad offers a very comprehensive connectivity solution. Its really convenient because you can both use it as a tablet and as a Non Windows Laptop.The Battery Life is spectacular it gives full 16 hours with the docking station.Under the hood The ASUS EeePad has the all powerful Nvidea Tegra 2,in all my 3 days of continous usage I have had a butter smooth experience with the OS I have tried typing using the Polaris Office application,both with the dock and the touchscreen keyboard.The touch screen keyboard by the way is much like Swype except with a weaker prediction engine.Video Playback was superb (I watched all episodes of FullMetal Alchemist on it) and Games had no Framerate issues. The Tegra zone (A game store exclusive for Tegra devices) is very young at this stage:There are only handful of games out of which only two are free-So dont expect much out of it,however I did try Galaxy on Fire 2 and the Graphical quality is indeed Console standards.

Controlling the cursor with the mouse on the keyboard dock takes a little time getting used to,and so does the scrolling. For purposes such as net browsing I prefer using the Tablet itself.The design is pretty nice and compact and easy to use while travelling,and as far as the weight is concerned its obviously a little heavy once you attach the keyboard dock but still manageable to carry.Its pretty easy to use the Tablet in say taking notes in class (With the dock),watching a video,reading an ebook and all other usual things Tablets are expected to do. The Tablet comes with the “Google Music” App as default so you can listen to your whole music library if you are a beta user which is pretty thoughtful of ASUS.

The Tab is equipped with a 5 MP Rear and a 1.2 MP front camera which is pretty sweet if you compare it with the ipad here is a picture I took with the rear camera

Image taken from the rear Camera

 

Maybe I am just used to 8MP-12MP cameras but I really dont like the quality of the pictures coming out,too blurry and out of focus I dont think this will replace a camera from a good mobile which kind of defeats the purpose a little bit.As far as audio output is concerned its SRS Premium sound and I found no complains with it.

If I draw a little comparison of this with the Ipad the tablet itself is 100$ cheaper,but the dock comes for 150$ making it costlier but with all that you do have a pad better in terms of connectivity and multimedia,for example instorage alone the Eepad can have 16/32GB(inhouse)+16/32GB(MicroSD)+16/32GB(If you add the Keyboard Dock)+The ability to connect external storage which is pretty nice in my opinion,almost as if the folks at ASUS wanted to draw upon those points where apple failed.

Well thats it for the review,i will be adding some pictures as time goes I have them all in mobile which is charging right now 😛

 


Google Music

So,with my review on Google plus out, i finally had the time to check out another service launched by google called Google Music.

“Music” is a service which streams your music across supported platforms (Application on Android and Web page for PC and iOS) it integrates seamlessly with your library and can simultaneously play Local (Offline) and On the cloud music.So what does this mean? In essence Music saves you the pain of transferring your music collection to your phones thereby saving you the time and the space in your SD card.If this doesn’t sound like much its maybe because a)You are not really into music or b)You haven’t experienced it. I have been using this service for months now and it really gives you the convenience.But wait there is more! If you are going for a trip or any other place where you would be unable to connect tot he net you can select which songs you would like to make available offline from the Library,Google even caches the music you have streamed for some time. I would like to specifically mention the awesome download speed I get when I make music available offline. On an experiment I could download 8 Songs in 10 Minutes.

The “Music” Android app

The music android app is really competent and as far as I have found out lacks in nothing. Visually it is a treat for the eyes with 3D coverflow and a changing background depending on the album art. Even with songs without an album art it automatically adds a name in the place which makes it look really good

 Nothing much lacks in this app,although I do wish they would add a rating system.Beware though once you get used tot his player it would be extremely difficult to shift to another due to its streaming features,it has completely replaced the default HTC Player on my device. I think however that Google should push this app as a standard for android for the sake of uniformity.

So,How do I get in the Beta?

Officially you need to be the resident of United States  to participate in the Beta,but there is a work around for that,you need to fool the beta site into thinking that you are a resident of the united states you do that using Tor Browser (Click to download) its set to United states by default,so simply go to Music.beta.com after the firefox window opens and confirms that you are using Tor. After that simply register for the service and download the PC Application that will upload all your songs over the library  (You can even be selective) You might have to change the upload settings a little bit so that your connection speed doesn’t get throttled and you are all set. If you are an Android User and not in the united states,download “Market Enabler” for Android Market and set it to US from settings then go to the market and search Google music,Download the application and go to settings to make it connect to your Google account you will see all your songs in the library instantly.

Misc/Closing comments:

The Music Beta is a blessing for us Android users,the sheer convenience has made me ditch my iPod in favor of my mobile,I can only hope that this service stays free after its Beta Phase because it does seem to be too “convenient” to be true. Google has also included a lot of free tracks that you can add to the library which is really thoughtful of them as it has made me discover new band.Lets see how this service matures and compares with others in the future

*All opinions have been taken using an HTC Desire HD Mobile device (running a variety of custom ROMS ) and an ASUS Eee Pad transformer tablet (Tegra 2). Check back later for my Review on the Eee Pad and dont forget to Like “Arkadious” my official Facebook page.

Thoughts on the independence day (part 2)

Posted on

So again,India our marble has aged one more year,while one can imagine a 64 year old man to be aged,walking with a crutch coughing and wheezing,the same cannot be said for a country.A 64 year old country is a young country full of ideas that can potentially shake the world.

Just a year and 2 days have passed since I wrote a note on a similar subject,but surprisingly I have a lot to comment on based on where India is going.

 

One thing that has always been clear and obvious to me is that India is a country highly dependant on its youth,India not quite developed yet has a constant need for fresh ideas and new lookouts from young and dynamic minds.The responsibility of providing India its direction,as I stressed on last time lies with the Indian youth.Be wary of degeneration however,which is prevalent in the now developed countries.The vice of too much leisure is not only harmfull to you but to the whole country.Always strive to develop some sort of a unique talent apart from the usual studies.Peer Education lessons and first hand experiences indicate that some of us-rather many of us do indulge in certain vices but it is time that we control them and focus on what matters for the future rather than carry the “Live the life” attitude. This in actual fact is a symptom of having too much disposable income,it means that a certain section of the society is developing too much,but remember that there are many in this country that go hungry you do have a responsobility towards them.

Learn to assimulate new ideas,deep study of the society tells us that once people start being satisfied with what they have they are unwilling and even afraid to explore new frontiers which ultimately leads to a decay,never ever be satisfied with what you have.No matter what situation you are in now,there is a better one find it,seek it.

 

Coming to a very familiar topic we all love:Our education system.India,as was demonstrated to me by someone recently is one of the few countries that actually takes its educstion seriously.I am happy to say that our education system definately gives us a significant edge amongst the people in the globe.Weather it is our command of english,or our expertise and logic we are indeed the best.But please dont get me wrong,I am very outspoken against our education system what sort of education system reduces something as fundamental as school to a mere minority? More and more people indulge in the practice of dummy schools, there are more and more tutions taking place the sytem has become a huge joke.I speak just for science here which mind you,I love-since 7nth I have thought of ntohing else but learning science,still do but I can tell you that the way science is taught just isnt right and huge,if not astronomical changes need to be brought to our education system so that it does not compromise on the content,while also giving the students the ability to learn for themselves and not relying on external forces.

Maybe if we arrive at a defination:

A perfect education system would be that which focusses on relevant topics,while being compatible with fresh and imaginative ideas and also making the students self reliant on the matter of studies.

The focus should be on learning and not on passing the exam.

One very good thing I have noticed is that communal and caste strife has come to an all time low in this year which I am sure everyone will agree with me is a remarkable achievment .However our country still is a victim of the disease known as terrorism,I speak with referance to ofcourse the Bombay blasts that happened again this year. What a horrible day,eventhough I was not directly affected in any way I felt the loss,rather like soemthing I protected has been attacked.The only consolation I have is that atleast we have escaped the appaling damage our neighour Pakistan ahs faced.

Between this year and the last there have been certain people who have been trying to change the way the government works,I am talking ofcourse of Anna Hazare who has been keeping the givernment on its toes lately,what a brilliant man I salute him for what he has done,he has shown us how to actually protest what he has done demands bucketloads of leadership skills and I will say this,he has shown us the right way weather it is the right way to run the government,or the right way to protest.Definately a true Indian.

 

I am proud of my country and many of its people,I realise this whenever I go abroad,and whenever I write as you can see I do over indulge and I apologize for that.

To you,To people like Anna Hazzare,To CBSE,to everyone

JAI HIND!!!!!

Google + Revealed.

Whereas I initially planned to write an extensive,multi-part blog post on Facebook,and how to enforce your privacy on it,but the very next day I finally got into Google Plus (It took me a lot of effort by the way,had to ask multiple people over multiple forums for invites) and this social service really seems to be everything Facebook is not.I shall be going over what Google plus is and how it fares against Facebook.

Google Plus has ditched the traditional concept of friend list’s in favor of “Circles”.In terms of social networking wars,this is Google’s Nuke against Facebook. Why I say this,is because with “Circles” Google plus gives you full control over what information you share,and who you share it with. Basically Circles are groups your peers belong in,You would definitely not be comfortable sharing sensitive information with some people you met on the net for example so you simply block all photos from that circle,and enable it for the rest.All your peers are different,and all of them dont care about each and every status you post. Say something related to Gaming,it would be better if you simply share gaming related content with people who do care about stuff like this,so you make a circle consisting of your gaming buddies and share the status update with just them,this goes both ways too you can select what content to appear from different circles  in your “Stream” (Similar to Facebooks news feed)and you can also mute the posts that you dont care about so that they dont bother you with notifications.

Take a look at my circles:

My circle list

As you can see this is where I can select what stream I want,by default you get all streams to your news feed but you can click on a circle to get status’es from a particular circle.By default Google has Friends,Family,Acquaintances and following circles but you can add more. Interestingly Google incorporates twitter into it by this method.I share all my info with my friends,some pictures with my family and No sensitive data with others.In Facebook that’s not possible.
Unlike Facebook where you have to “Approve” a friend request here you have something called incoming which will notify you when someone adds you to their circles,and shares a post with you,here for the first time you can add random strangers to your circles anyway but make sure you have all your sensitive information blocked to that circle.
This simplistic approach to networking by Google Plus really wipes the floor of Facebook’s counterpart.
 Recently,Facebook introduced,along with skype its own video calling service.This was intended to answer the “Hangout” feature by Google. However aside from the fact that both involve Webcams and internet there is nothing more common between them. Hangout allows you to have conversation with multiple people (upto 10) Google has been pretty clever about this the system uses the audio stream to figure out who is speaking  and brings him to the main screen,while the other stay at the bottom in thumb sized videos. As of now however expect Facebook to have a more stable service since its going with Skype,however Google will definitely Match that.
This is one feature that I haven’t understood till now,or is poorly implemented. The essence of this Feature is basically you can subscribe to your “intrests” your favourite brands like playstation etc.It uses Googles search engine to give you this but it is not really as effective as Facebook “Pages”,this Feature actually appears half baked.
Where the interface is concerned the stream appears much cleaner,and you can filter them according to circles which is quite handy.I also like the fact that you can post animated GIFS on your home page something I always wish I could do on Facebook.I also like the way photographs are displayed in a more tile like fashion in thumb size,however Facebook theatre mode is much better than Google’s own counterpart of it.

Mobile Features

Mobile is an integral part of Google plus. The app is available right now in Android,and soon to come for iOS. It does everything you can do from desktop,but apart from that it also has features which set itself apart.
Think of this as a text based version of video chat,Google plus is apparently all about multiple people as with Huddle you can text chat over Wi-Fi and Edge with multiple people.Think of it as an advanced version of BBM. However as of yet there is no picture/music transfer option.
Aside from this,Google plus also makes sharing photos an easy job by instant upload,which instantly uploads the photos you have clicked to a private album on google plus. You can share them later on.
Also,in mobile their is a specific tab called “Nearby” with which you get public posts from people near you the mobile uses in built GPS for this,sharing your own location is optional of course but I really find this feature potentially useful to know people around me.

Conclusion:

Google plus can really potentially replace Facebook. indeed it is a strong competition to Facebook whether it fails or not  and it would be interesting to see how Google and Facebook fare in this new “Social Networking Wars’ I am even eager to see some “Fb fanboys,and G+ fanboys” like we have on many such competitions today.

Your complete guide to Facebook privacy

Your complete guide to Facebook privacy

Unless you live under a rock or somewhere similar you must have heard of this website called Facebook,its great! Not only does it let you connect to people you know it also lets you share parts of your life with them.

The above is the most outdated statement of the century.

Welcome to the modern Facebook, here many add people as a friend regardless if they know them or not,some are a bit more guarded-They add people based on how they look in their profile pictures again regardless if they have even seen them or not. Then their are the oh so famous Facebook “apps”. Profile watcher,endless quiz’s,friend questions and all that which for you,the user is just some incentive to waste your time rather than being productive.

So,when you access an app you see the following pretty screen:

We are asking you to hand over your profile NAO!

As it is this is a lot to share but there is plenty hidden between the lines,You are giving away quite a lot of information about yourself,and control over your profile to someone who can use it against you. Some circumstances I have observed over facebook tell me that such apps actually control your profile,once you give them access. These may be,when your friend “invites” you to join an app,writes on your wall with some questions to unlock or posts a video to your wall.

On clicking on the “see what they said” option,you would be shown the permission screen and then asked to either fill a  survey or give facebook credits both of which give the owner  money.You would also be spreading these wallposts around to your friends.

I definitely know,that my friends didn’t invite me to any of these apps. Another example.

Pretty embarrassing eh? This is what apps have become nowadays,granted there may be legitmate facebook apps out there but its too much of a risk to trust them specially if they are able to do the above things with your profile.

Lets leave apps for a while,and come to general privacy with every update facebook is becoming pretty lenient on that too. Did you know you can download other peoples photos? I will also link some news headlines where facebook was used as a tool for kidnap. People fail to realise that their profile holds vital information about themselves one should treat it as a cybernetic version of their own self. Do you value yourself? then you should be concerned about your privacy. Its that simple. Dont add people you dont know,or dont care about. Block the ones you think are stalking you. Snip out your friend list.

Many people are unaware of the ways with which they can make their account more secure.Facebook provides an easy  UI to protect yourself it may be found under Account>Privacy Settings where you will see a summary of your privacy settings below are what I have set for myself,they are the strongest setting possible

As you can see,only my friends can see any information related to me,as a pointer here  by friends I mean people I know and genuinely like not a random stranger with a good profile picture. You may use the customize setting option to mimic these settings. Furthermore there is a setting for apps right there below which you may use to remove unwanted apps,its a pretty nice and user friendly system Facebook has come up with.

If you follow the above steps,you would definitely be causing less embaressment and hassle to yourself.And keep in mind,like I said before if you respect yourself and the life you lead,you should definitely not be leaving vital details about it in the open like that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Infamous 2:Review

Posted on

The infamous series employs a very unique and appealing concept,suddenly as a result of a blast you got powers,and it is upto you to carve the consequences as a result of those powers,you may use it for the better,become a hero or abuse your powers for your own comfort,indeed the game itself derives its name from this idea (inFAMOUS)

Infamous 2 is a great game,it does not dissapoint those people who played and loved its predeccesor,the gameplay is almost similar with some changes like destructible environments and melee weapon that make it much better. Cole’s powers:the reason why we loved the original infamous come back with the potential to make even more mayhem than the last. something I applaud suckerpunch for. The upgrade system also perfectly suits the game,however one minor complain I have is that the more significant powers like ionic storm and lightning tether come later in the game and you cant have much fun with them.Good Cole and Evil Cole have different powers which are as different as the ideology which the respective karmic level’s preach. Personally however I would prefer Evil Cole for a 100% awesomesauce experience.

This move is called "Ionic Vortex"

The melee system,as such may not be perfect,but it suits the game perfectly in the sense that since Cole mainly depends on his ranged powers it made sense having a simplistic melee system as opposed to a complex one.I hate the look of the amp though,but that problem was fixed by buying the special edition which lets you use a samurai sword,caveman club and other instead they definitely look better

As far as the graphics are concerned,they couldn’t be better,the environment of New Marais is breathtaking especially when you view it from a high up building.The enemies look much better and detailed than they did in the previous game which is an applaudable feat.

The game has a perfect Morality system,right down to the fact that you actually have people acting as your conscience the game practically has two different storylines based on your choices,which come in the form of missions,side missions and a new addition in the form of Karmic choices,a more robust morality system like the one suckerpunch created is perfect for the game and acts as a backbone for the great experience. I love the way,Cole’s appearance changes with his Karmic level .This change is lovingly detailed right down to Coles tatoos and the colour of his shirt.

One place where I feel the game has gone weak is the storyline which left to itself is great,but taking into account how awesome infamous 1’s ending was falls short of expectations.There are no twists or anything awe inspiring in the story line.

Leaving that however,the mission game play as well as side missions are great and have definitely improved,they give a really enjoyable experience to the gamer and leaving just one are never trying to the gamer.

Suckerpunch tried to introduce something different with the introduction of UGC content,since the game has just been released it may not be accurate to judge but I feel that UGC is not implemented well and might just become redundant this is owing to the fact that making a UGC mission is highly complex and even tiring job as compared to Little Big Planet,also the lack of a seperate menu where you can just select a UGC mission and play does not bode well for the feature.

One last and major complaint with the game is that it is sh*t buggy,which I hope suckerpunch corrects in the future patches.

As a conclusion,I think Suckerpunch has come up with a great game and fans of the original will definitely love this one even if it has a forgettable ending.

Posted on

I hope you have gone through my earlier post regarding monopoly here.

The Monopoly revolution is a step back […]

Playstation Move:Review

Posted on

PlayStation move is a motion controller for the ps3,it is able to track movement along X,Y and Z planes.PlayStation Move uses the PlayStation eye camera to track the wands position and inertial sensors inside the want detects its motion,it was first revealed in June 2 2009

In the beginning I confess I had low hopes with this,the design looked comical and it was really nothing new considering the Wii did something similar,in contrast to the project natal announced at that time the PlayStation move seemed:insignificant. But as time passed and more news came,I began to get eager to try it out and it did not dissatisfy me,to begin with it is precise and really does offer 1:1 tracking this is literally amazing for games like sports champion,where the precision is actually noticed and enjoyed.

Although I was wary of the moves design at first,it is actually pretty comfortable and believe it or not:good looking when that sphere glows it actually looks amazing and would not look out of place in a party or diwali (taking into account if you would do something that wacko) it is a little surprising and sad that Sony did not give us the freedom to choose our own sphere color when not playing the game, because obviously during the game the color is actually fulfilling the purpose of tracking and would be always different from the colour of your surroundings (This is a little sad because the sphere almost always chooses an ill fitting colour,in my case it chose pink-Talk about embarrassing!) .The strap provided is,needless to say comfortable although in prolonged time it does feel as if you are wearing handcuffs.

A major negative point of the move is that it is Dependant on navigation controllers,another stand alone controller and the PlayStation eye for the best experience.(with the PlayStation eye being a necessity) this is a big spoilsport not just from a cost perspective but also from the fact that here not enough stock is available,people might say that you might use a DS3 but it is not entirely viable.Sony could have been kind enough to add another USB cable.

When it comes to durability the move does not disappoint,the sphere which may look dangerous is soft and made of silicon similar to that of a baby bottle or a pacifier,You can even try pressing it.the rest is standard like the dualshock 3.

Sony has done a big justice to its launch titles appealing both the hardcore and the casual and in some delightful cases both,I found myself loving sports champions even though I am not into sport games.Games like sorcery and Little Big Planet make move irresistible.I played a demo called ‘The shoot’ on the starter disk and was delighted to see how creatively it had utilized move,to activate certain ability you had to spin on the spot:Amazing!

In a conclusion:The move is a must buy for every PS3 gamer,it has an attractive cost,and amazing games for your entertainment needs go ahead and pick one up if you have not already!

I conducted a little experiment,regarding the realism of the move,I asked my dad to play table tennis in sports champions. He is more experienced with table tennis,and less experienced with using move proved by the fact that I had to help him with calibration and moving the cursor properly,but once he got into the game he beat the first player 5-1 even though that was the first time he was playing move,I on the other hand took some time beating the first opponent.

Therefore,being experienced at the actual game helps more than being experienced at the controller itself,this proves the fact that move excels as a motion controller. and sports champion too obviously.

This is an original article,written months back by me on Indian Video Gamer forums
