Virtual Reality And Augmented Reality Defense

By Jason Cole


When it comes to war games, virtual reality is now taking on themes which relate to past world events. For example, Front Defense is an Augmented Reality Defense game based on, and puts players in the middle of, World War II. As such, it is important that those planning on playing this game understand that is more graphic and violent than most.

During the initial stages of the game, the invasion involving Normandy is over and firefights have just started in a fictional European town. At which point, Front Defense puts the player, an Allied Forces hero in the middle of the action to fight off ongoing attacks. While it is a minor battle at first, the action intensifies over the course of the game.

Very realistic in style and scope, the game allows the player to hide out behind various well armed and patrolled positions while ducking, diving, switching and reloading weapons. The weapons include everything from grenades to man-mounted guns and assault rifles. For, when it comes to defeating the enemy, players often need help from as many different resources as possible.

The developers and designers clearly have knowledge as to the history associated with the war. For, the game reflects the sense of actually being an active member of a military unit during that time. In order to achieve this goal, the designers used battlefield and room scaling to create a number of scenes which are close in comparison to various areas in which these battles took place.

In fact, Front Defense is one of the most active, intense and realistic war games on the market. For, the experience and intensity of the WWII shooter is the first VR to use room scaling and precision tracking. As such, it allows the player to create strategic positions which are detailed by a European town which has been taken over and is being destroyed by enemy forces.

Other features include, a wide choice of weaponry including the previously mentioned grenades and firearms, dive bombers, armored cars, tanks and other heavy equipment in an effort to defeat the enemy. When it comes to the finale, the end of the game provides an opportunity for the shooter to battle a mysterious Axis super powered weapon which has left many players feeling the finale was more than climatic.

While first shooter games have been controversial for quite some time, when played as intended, these games can often deter rather than create violent behavior. For, many individuals now use these games as a method of stress release. Still, it is important that those under 18 be supervised and monitored when it comes to playing the game or acting out different scenes.

Front Defense is Windows based starting with Windows release 7 and subsequent releases. It is important to note that the game is not compatible with any release up and until Windows 7. When it comes to graphics, the game has a NVIDIA graphics interface with 12GM RAM, thus providing some of the most colorful, detailed and dramatic scenes in the VR first shooter market.
