![]() ![]() Each time the player's level increases, his/her attributes go up and BP (Bonus Points) are given. One of the principal RPG elements of the game is that experience-based levels are present. Weapons have many different properties, including special effects like "acid", which causes enemies to continuously take damage. The player selects the "tune-up" option, choosing the weapon that will be altered and the weapon from which the attributes or effect will be taken. When not in battle, the player has the option of altering the weapon and armor attributes and effects with tools and super-tools, which are limited in number. Parasite Energy recharges during battle but the more players use it, the slower it refills. If the player chooses to attack, the battle briefly pauses and a dome/sphere symbolizing the range of the weapon appears, allowing the player to target an enemy within range. Upon each turn, the player may choose between attacking with their equipped weapon by pressing the attack button, using PE (Parasite Energy) for defense, assistance, or attack, using items, changing a weapon or armor, or escaping the battle. While waiting for her turn, the player character Aya can be moved around to dodge enemy attacks. In battle, the game uses a pausable real-time combat system with an Active Time Bar (ATB) that sets the time that must be waited till the player can take their next action. Enemies materialize and attack players on the same screen that they move Aya around on, with no battle mode or screen being used. Upon the player walking over a "hot spot", there's a chance of a random encounter. Movement in the " world map" (which is a map of Manhattan) is limited to specific destinations.

Like other role-playing games made by Square for the PlayStation, Parasite Eve was made during a period that Peter Tieryas of Kotaku described as an "experimental period" where nearly every RPG from the company had unique combat mechanics. The first two games, Parasite Eve and Parasite Eve II, had shipped over 3 million copies worldwide by 2010. The original title was also followed by two video game sequels: Parasite Eve II in 1999 and The 3rd Birthday in 2010, and was re-released on the PlayStation Network in 2010. The video game adaptation was part of a resurgence of popularity in Japanese horror sparked by the original book, and was released alongside a film adaptation and two manga comics one based on the book, the other on the video game. Parasite Eve received positive reviews critics praised the graphics and gameplay, but found the overall game too linear and with little replay potential. Music for the title was composed by Yoko Shimomura who was widely acclaimed for her work to create an "inorganic" and "emotionless" soundtrack that saw two album releases. It was produced by Hironobu Sakaguchi and directed by Takashi Tokita. Parasite Eve was SquareSoft's first M-rated game, and the first major American and Japanese game development collaboration for the company. Players explore levels set in areas of New York while utilizing a pausable real-time combat system along with several role-playing game elements. The story follows New York City police officer Aya Brea over a six-day span in 1997 as she attempts to stop the Eve, a woman who plans to destroy the human race through spontaneous human combustion. ![]() The game is a sequel to the novel Parasite Eve, written by Hideaki Sena it is also the first game in the Parasite Eve video game series. Parasite Eve is a 1998 role-playing game developed and published by Square.

GoPro’s smaller array is a cube-shaped device comprising six Hero 4 cameras, video from which can then be combined and stitched to create a single 6k spherical view of a scene. GoPro’s 6-Camera Spherical Array (Image Courtesy The Verge) Kolor has made good headway in providing end-to-end solutions for 360 video with their Autopano stitching software and Kolor Eyes video player (including Oculus Rift support). This was remedied earlier in the year, when GoPro acquired image processing specialists Kolor. Whilst GoPro is of course well known for its camera hardware however, stitching and processing is an emerging and difficult field, one that the company had little experience in. Meta Quest Gets Unreal Engine 5 Support Minus Two Headlining Features To prove his point, they revealed their a new six-camera, spherical video solution, designed to capture raw footage capable of being stitched together to form content viewable inside a VR headset.

Just three years ago, the idea that big established brands in the camera industry would actively tackle the complexities of 360 degree video for VR would have been unthinkable. GoPro, the biggest name in rugged ‘action’ video cameras, is ready to jump into the VR space with a 16 camera array based on Google’s new ‘Jump’ design for 360 degree VR video. ![]() Comes with Focus peaking and a blazing fast focusing (this is something which I am super impressed), the TOUGH is now also an excellent street camera which you can see from some of the examples below.

Coupled with the exposure compensation (EV)of +/2.0 in 3 step adjustment, this NEW Tough is superb even in low light condition. ISO capability of 100 to 12800, I used many 6400 during my trip especially during the night or pre-dawn hours.

I do hope Olympus had sorted out a few things that bothers me from the TG-4, like not-that-fast focus, sharpness compromised during continuous shutter, ISO noise at high ISO & weird underwater shadows. Having reviewed all the TOUGH Flagship cameras, I have a lot of expectations for the TG-5.

It started with Resident Evil, as it probably should have. I loved horror films as well, and it’s no surprise that my fondness for the genre eventually extended to video games. Nearly all of the short stories I wrote as a teenager were horror stories. I have a long history with the horror genre.
