Tom Cruise gave a face to this sci-fi war movie about a soldier reliving a day over and over again, but the story of Edge of Tomorrow started as a Japanese comic series called “All You Need is Kill.” The writer came up with the idea after noticing how video games used death to train players, turning them from beginners into veterans – just like the movie’s hero. If the video game ties weren’t clear enough, the idea for the movie’s robotic exoskeletons was also introduced in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare – released just months la
As video game releases continue to bring in millions, or billions of dollars for major publishers, movie studios are turning to video game movies as their next big thing. But the ties between movies and games have existed longer than most fans, or executives, probably real
While you think you might know everything there is to know about this game, there might be some valuable facts you have missed out on. Every player can get better at their game, and that is what we are here to do. Need some new hiding spots? Running out of places to find loot? You have come to the right place. Everyone wants to be the “winner that gets the chicken dinner.” So, have a look at our list of the 25 awesome things you had no idea you could do in PUBG . If there are some we missed, be sure to leave them in the comme
Pitting four surivors with a sense of humor against an army of the undead made Zombieland a hit, but one video game series was using zombies for fun, not fear long before. The zombie shooter Left 4 Dead followed the same formula, even shaping its campaign and marketing to resemble a Hollywood film, but fans soon turned the game into an online sensation, where hilarious kills were the top priority. Zombieland kept the sense of humor and tension, and even “Kills of the Week” competitions intact, not to mention a finale set in a zombie-filled amusement park – a location included in Left 4 Dead 2 , released shortly after the mo
Some of the most popular and profitable video games in history have followed elite soldiers into battle, with the Call of Duty series painting the picture of modern war for a generation. So when the minds behind Act of Valor turned to real Navy SEALS – not actors – to show audiences what war really looks like, video games were impossible to ignore. With millions of gamers experiencing combat down the barrel of a gun, the directors made sure to recreate that sensation in live-action. You could say that video games simply copied the real tactics of the soldiers, but filming and editing them to look like a game is something else entir
If you’re with your real friends, there really isn’t a reason to lie. But if you’re with strangers, then yes, you need to put on a sweater, smile, and act like you’re going to do something besides scream about chicken dinners to strangers on the inter
Allow me to say that if you purchased PUBG in its early access form, you probably made your money back by selling tons of free skins for bloated prices on the Steam marketplace. But most people probably weren’t as fortunate, Fpsgamerbase.com said and not only had to pay for PUBG but also have to look at all the microtransactions as they play their g
When anybody copies anything, whether it be yesterday’s homework or a triple-A video game, that person or company is usually slammed for doing so. Unusually, though, that’s not the case for Fortnite , as the game wears almost all of its influences on its sleeve despite still continuing to dominate the mar
PUBG , a more serious take on the battle royale formula, has no real place for things like taunts and dances. Sure, taunts are getting more and more popular in games, but they just don’t feel right in PUBG . I guess the devs didn’t care when they saw how popular they were in Fortni
When it comes to online gaming, there are certain groups that can be easily identified by a few qualities; DOTA players are slimeballs, CS:GO players are always screaming about grenades, and Diablo 2 players still exist, believe it or not (although it is one of the greatest games ever ma
Regardless, there are few groups that are as identifiable or, prevalent, as PUBG players. They’re constantly rocketing cars off of hills and walls, wearing or swinging frying pans around like their lives depend on it (and they often do), or telling others about the glory of chicken dinners and how hard they are to really
A Halo movie is still just a dream, but when Peter Jackson was producing the film back in 2006, he saw Neill Blomkamp as the perfect director for the project, who turned heads by mixing CG creatures with lo-fi camerawork and realistic sets instead of massive green screen spectacle. When the movie plans were scrapped, Jackson decided to produce Blomkamp’s District 9 instead, featuring alien creatures, conflicts, weapons and action scenes torn right out of a first person shooter. The movie was based on one of the director’s short film, but Blomkamp’s original goal and similarities have led many to claim that District 9 is as close a vision of Blomkamp’s Halo movie as fans will ever
