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.

Created by some of the best developers and designers, the game provides the heaviest weaponry possible, reflecting the reality of World War II. As with war, the game uses precision, VR, battlefield and room scaling to provide realistic scenes which have been known to leave players feeling like active members of a unit during the war. For, the main priority behind Front Defense was to leave players feeling as if one were actually at war.

Front Defense is rated as one of the most realistic, active and intense war games currently available. For, the intensity and player experience as the WWII shooter is the first virtual reality game to use scaling in a way to recreate actual scenes from history. In addition, the precision tracking used during point and shoot experiences allows the player to create strategic positions.

Being able to use a variety of weapons creates a situation in which the player must act on both knowledge and instinct. For, the player can choose to use armored cars, dive bombers and tanks in an effort to defeat opposing forces. Most players actually find the finale to be one of the most dramatic of any previous first shooter war games. In fact, many suggest that the finale is nothing less than climatic in comparison.

While these games have often been controversial, especially by the conservative far religious right, there is no proof that playing such games results in violent behavior of players later in life. In fact, if anything, the games can be a good method of stress relief to help avoid individuals becoming stressed to the point of road rage, or other such incidents. At the same time, it is important to note that the game does include graphically violent scenes of war and to monitor and supervise players under the age of 16.

The overall primary features are that the game is a single player model with steam leader boards. Before beginning play, it is important to note that Front Defense is a Windows based game and can be played with Windows 7 and beyond, noting that software prior to Windows 7 is not compatible. Whereas, the game has a 12GB RAM and NVIDIA graphics interface which provides some of the most color and detailed scenes than most other games on the market.
