On August 15, Red 5 Studios announced that $1 million in prize money is up for grabs at the Firefall eSports tournaments that will be going on in 2013. $1 million dollars for a game this new? That is confidence. These guys have already taken competitive gaming a step above with the recent launch of the eSports Toolkit, combat refinements to create higher skill ceilings for all battleframes, and the Firefall Mobile Gaming Unit tour rolling out in the United States this fall. ESports has been a strong focus of Red 5 Studio’s plan since the conception of Firefall and it’s definitely clear that they’re not taking that commitment lightly.
[quote]“Red 5 is dedicated to supporting the future of eSports and we believe that creating a more compelling experience for participants and spectators will further the cause of competitive gaming,” said Morgan Romine, eSports Maven of Red 5 Studios. “The newly launched eSports Toolkit is just the tip of the iceburg. We will be supporting this initiative with our Mobile Gaming Unit this fall and providing a huge payout for elite competitive gamers in 2013”. [/quote]
The eSports Toolkit that Red 5 put together is actually a pretty big deal. It offers spectators the ability to customize their experience with two feature-packed modes: Observer and Broadcast. Observer Mode allows the choice of watching gameplay action through an assortment of action cameras, including a dynamic top-down camera that calculates where the action is and auto-zooms accordingly; static cameras that can be switched to on-the-fly for a number of easily accessible viewpoints; and player cams that mimic the normal cameras that players have access to during gameplay. Broadcast mode presents a number of additional features specifically added for shoutcasters, including replay controls – which allow users to rewind, pause, slow motion, and fast forward – a Multiple Camera Preview for linecutting into a broadcast, and built in player stat tracking.
These are a number of features that competitive games rely on to convey the excitement of matches to an audience. It’s not an understatement to say that they’ll be a huge boon to Firefall as the game tries to make a splash on the competitive scene.
I have really been considering a career in broadcast journalism, in other words, a television news anchor. I really enjoy writing and I also have fun recording voice-overs and making documentaries. I have heard that it is best NOT to major in broadcast journalism, but something like political science. I was wondering if this was right and if anyone could clarify that for me.
I have two laptops, a broadband wireless router, a cable modem, and a Wii. My roommate and we don’t want to have to keep one laptop connected to the router and all times to broadcast the internet wirelessly. So can I use the Wii to broadcast the internet with the router, so both our laptops can stay free? If so how? If not is there any way I can broadcast the internet without having to keep a computer connected it?
Like, on omegle chat. How do you broadcast a single image in place of a live web cam stream? Is there a program, if so what is it? Thanks!
I know you have to configure a router to broadcast with pirate radio. But, a wireless cable modem is similar to a router. And its a modem. Would it work instantly or would you have to configure it like a router?
Hi, I am looking at three graduate schools for broadcast journalism. They are New York University, University of Miami and Boston University. My goal is to one day work for CNN.
