Oculus Rift


 OCULUS RIFT


The Rift is an upcoming virtual reality head-mounted display, being developed by Oculus VR.During its period as an independent company, Oculus VR raised US$2.4 million for the development of the Rift,
The consumer version of the product is expected to become available sometime in 2015. Oculus released two 'development kits', DK1 in late 2012 and DK2 in mid 2014, to give developers a chance to develop content in time for the Rift's release; however, these have also been purchased by many virtual reality enthusiasts for general usage.

The Witcher® 3: Wild Hunt


The Witcher® 3: Wild Hunt

 

Witcher 3 is the new game by: CD Projekt RED
GAMEPLAY
The gameplay is similar to that of the previous installment. The Witcher 3 will introduce "a living open world larger than any other in modern RPG history." The setting is more than "30 times larger" than previous Witcher games requiring players to catch a sailboat to some locations and ride by horseback to others. However, fast travelling around the areas of known locations are also possible. The Witcher 3 has been described as "20% bigger than Skyrim
PLOT
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt concludes the story of the witcher Geralt of Rivia, the series' protagonist, whose story to date has been covered in the previous versions.
Continuing from The Witcher 2, the ones who sought to use Geralt are now gone. Geralt seeks to embark on a new and personal mission, whilst the world order itself is coming to a change. Geralt's new mission comes in dark times as the mysterious and otherworldly army known as the Wild Hunt invades the Northern Kingdoms, leaving only blood soaked earth and fiery ruin in its wake; and it seems the Witcher is the key to stopping their cataclysmic rampage

DEVOLOPMENT 
 Game engine
The Witcher 3 will feature the new REDengine 3 game engine, developed by CD Projekt RED and designed specifically for nonlinear role-playing video games set in vast open world environments.It is supposed to help eliminate many of the game development trade-offs previous developers faced, allowing The Witcher 3 developers to create "an open environment with a complex, multi-thread story." CD Projekt RED has integrated the Umbra 3 Visibility Solution into its engine to handle occlusion culling. Engineers from Umbra and CDP demonstrated the use of the technology at the Game Developers Conference 2014. As in the previous two Witcher games, players are presented with a complex story featuring multiple choices bearing associated consequences. But REDengine allows for a complex story line without sacrificing the design of the virtual world.Consequently, The Witcher 3 features no loading screens, providing players a vast visual environment that allows players to freely explore and roam.
