Fury Fingers: ‘The Diversion’

By

the diversion featuredWe know it’s not retro, but we couldn’t resist sharing Fury Fingers‘ great new video with you.

The Diversion is an awesome funny film sponsored by Ubisoft (wow!) to celebrate the release of Tom Clancy’s The Division. Watch SHD agents hit the street and use the game’s many weapons and tools to take out bad-guys in all manner of creative ways.

the diversion posterThe guys (Nick, Andrew, Daniel and David) have really outdone themselves this time with the comedy, action and visual FX. Congratulations also need to go to Cody Porter for make up, JusZCosplay in the female lead role, and Task Force Taipan for creating weapons and costumes (check out the full credits).

VR Duck Hunt

By

featuredJoseph Delgado created this adorable VR adaptation of Duck Hunt in just 24 hours for the 2016 Global Game Jam.

Duck Hunt Life VR delves into the backstory of Duck Hunter, where the duck hunter is actually collecting ducks for his cult-like ritual. Hunt some ducks, practice skeet shooting with the lads, and destroy your house. Try to collect enough ducks by Day 10 in order to complete your ritual, but don’t fail to collect the required number of ducks on a given day, or you’ll never do the ritual. Requires a Razer Hydra and Oculus Rift DK2.
