Game Developers Conference 2008
North Hall 5205
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TN Games, developer of the gaming industry’s most innovative and progressively advanced physical experience hardware and software technologies, announces the development of TN Games 3RD Space Driver, supporting the acclaimed 3RD Space™ FPS Vest. The 3RD Space Effects Driver, available for gamers to download for free at www.tngames.com, is a stand alone piece of software which enables the 3RD Space FPS Vest to be compatible with many of the most popular PC based first person shooter game titles on the market today.
“While reality gaming has explosively progressed with advancements in graphics and processing speed, the physical sensations of gaming have been an ever-present void for developers and gamers alike”, said Dr. Mark Ombrellaro, CEO, TN Games. “Our proprietary wearable light-weight accessories and driver software are bringing an unprecedented physical sensory gaming experience simultaneously with game action, helping to improve gamers’ entertainment value while truly immersing themselves in the universe of the game.”
With the new 3RD Space Effects Driver, gamers can now enable 3RD Space technology to an ever-growing number of popular PC FPS titles. The 3RD Space Effects Driver, in conjunction with the FPS Vest, introduces a range of physical effects to games from bullet fire, blasts, stabs, punches, kicks, vibration to G-force. This solution gives gamers the benefit of experiencing their existing games in a new body-thumping light.
For game developers, the most comprehensive means of enabling 3RD Space technology is the direct integration of the 3RD Space API into their games. Our simple and easy to use API tools give game developers the creative freedom to add a new sensory dimension to their game content. 3RD Space effects expand and intensify the entertainment value for both new and updated game titles well beyond the previously constrained realm of audio and video. Within a matter of hours, the full range of 3RD Space effects can be added to games and tested. TN Games has already worked with Activision to embed the 3RD Space code into the popular “Call of Duty 2” title. Once our code is integrated, the 3RD Space FPS Vest interfaces seamlessly with the game.
TN Games’ proprietary 3RD Space product line consists of wearable gaming devices that can convey physical game events in a realistic fashion rather than as a generic event indicator. That means that a bullet shot or impact from the game will actually be experienced as a specific, accurately localized impact, rather than a vibration or buzzing sensation in a hand controller or keyboard.
