The Future of eLearning in 2022: A Sensitive Eye for Authentic Translation and Localization

Speaker: Chris Paxton McMillin, President of D3 Training Solutions

With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

Review: Defector

Peter Graham

There’s a reason spy films like the James Bond and Bourne franchises do so well, mixing ridiculous plotlines with amazing effects which provide a thrill ride for the audience. Translating that recipe across to a videogame isn’t always easy, especially when you need to fill way more than 1.5 hours of someone’s time. Twisted Pixel aims to do just that with Oculus Rift exclusive Defector.

‘Defector’ Review – Action Movie Thrills Wrapped in a Standard Arcade Shooter

Road to VR

When I heard about Defector at OC5, I was excited to see what essentially amounted to Mission Impossible coming to VR—the laughably improbable, overblown action movie that makes you feel like a true badass. And while there are some choice slices of action hero greatness served up on a silver platter, I couldn’t help but feel like Defector was still a bit under-cooked in the middle.

The company does seem to be warming to the idea of being a little more open about what it is working on, such a the development of the Knuckles (now called Valve Index ) controllers. Today, that trend continues with the launch of Steam Labs , a place where Steam users can see and test experimental features.
