FAR CRY 4: What are you made of?

For the European launch of Far Cry 4, Grey Paris creates a unique interactive campaign with 42 million possible routes, offering a completely different experience from one user to another.

Grey Paris has created 1 digital platform with 4 interactive rites of passage and 42 millions possibilities:
- A deadly face-to-face with « An eye for an eye »
- An impenetrable mind maze with « Rabbit hole »
- A hypnotic trance with « Mind Blossom »
- A blindfolded sound chase with « Escape »

Each rite is composed of interactive films in which the user has only a few seconds to make a decision and get out of the extreme situation he is trapped in. Each choice he makes triggers another sequence of events, pushing the user to make another choice and so on and so forth...

At the end of each rite, the user’s choices are analysed with a specific algorithm that determines his personality based on 5 criteria: toughness, violence, bravery, endurance and wisdom.

High-end cinematographic quality within the digital world. The numbers are staggering.
It took one year to conceive, develop and produce this campaign. In order to create a highly immersive experience, Grey Paris worked with the production company Stink & Stink digital and film director Nieto who brings all his cinematographic experience in this project. They shot over 168 different video sequences that, combined with the 42 million routes possible, reach the gold number of 100 days required to watch the videos from each of these routes.

1 new rite of passage will be revealed every week, starting today, October  22nd and ending November 12th, two weeks before the launch of FC4 on November 18th

NASA: TECNOPOLIS 2013

5Seis turned learning about nuclear power plants into an amazing and fun experience. They developed 3 games for NASA station in Technopolis 2013 Buenos Aires, Argentina on different platforms. In the Game for Tablets you build the diagram of the nuclear and operate the control panel. In the Augmented Reality game you are in Atucha II nuclear power plant and you can choose the locations & look around. In Laser´s Game you take charge of making nuclear fission, aiming atoms with lasers rays and trying to generate as much energy as possible. Games are a perfect way to get more people involved and learn about science. Nice work by 5Seis.

Grand Theft Auto V: Official Gameplay Video

I've played the previous Grad Theft Auto games but this one seems so vastly. The gameplay video has over 10.000.000 views in a couple of days so you can imagine what will happen when it will hit the stores. From driving cars to playing golf and from diving into oceans to plane piloting, Grand Theft Auto V is like playing a lot of different games. Watch the trailer -if you haven't already- and see for yourselves.

Microsoft: illumiRoom Xbox project

IllumiRoom is an immersive gaming experience that extends the action from the TV into the whole room. Using a projector and the Kinect sensor, the system puts the player right in the center of the action. It is impressive that the effects in the video are rendered in real time and are captured live - not special effects added in post processing. This is really a new way of playing games.

Magnum: Pleasure Hunt 2

The sequel to last year's Magnum game has a few additions that makes it worth playing. Check the video below then go to http://pleasurehunt2.mymagnum.com/ and try it for yourselves.
