Escape Plan 3 (2,407) 1 h X-Ray The final instalment of the unstoppable franchise sees legend Sylvester Stallone kick this explosive action into high gear. He cares more about his career than a Cage or Travolta or Bruce Willis at this point and doesnt want to do this for the pay cheque. It's easy to see why he's established Balboa Pictures in his twilight years and doesnt want to get caught doing these sequels and Backtrace style films for a quick payday. Ray Breslin and his team of security experts fight to rescue Breslins girlfriend and. Overall, a vast improvement on number 2, nowhere near as good as the original, but we get fights, we get blood and we get Stallone kicking but here and there.

First Stallone gets about 40 minutes of screen time, whilst he barely got 10 minutes in the second one, there's still great fights for Max Zhang to shine, but Stallone gets more to do here, 50 cent is in it for 2 minutes (always a bonus) and Bautista is the Terry Crews of Expendables, big guy with the big gun, gets a few minutes to shine. With a more competent direct on John Herzfeld on the third, there's a noted improvement. Whilst the second one used Stallone and Batista for a poster and credit only to suck you in, it was a vehicle for Asian market with Asian stars. It also plays that DTV trick of promising big name stars on the poster and failing to deliver - Dave Bautista appears fitfully and Stallone only a little more.When the first one made 25 million in the US, but a further $75 million in China, it makes sense that it got Chinese backing for sequels and the producers took the money and ran. This one is rooted firmly in bargain bin action licks circa 1992 and has little invention or charm to up the ante. Previous Escape Plans had a sci-fi tinge. ![]() Daya and Breslin’s partner Abby (Jaime King) are being held hostage by a goon (Devon Sawa) with a grudge against Breslin that stretches back to events in the first film (don’t worry we didn’t remember either). The reheated old guff that passes for a plot sees Breslin and his cohorts (Bautista, Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson, Jaime King) looking to extract Daya (Malese Jow), the daughter of a Hong Kong tech giant (Russell Wong) from a giant Latvian penitentiary ominously known as Devil’s Landing. Rather than a prison break, this time round it’s a break in. Third time round for Stallone’s 4th string franchise ( Rocky, Rambo, The Expendables are all higher up the cinematic food chain) the emphasis here is less on the problem solving of previous outings and more a dull cycle through grim punch-ups, bad acting and blatant attempts to woo the Chinese market - The Grandmaster’s Jin Zhang and Crazy Rich Asians’ Harry Shum Jr have prominent if, like everyone else, underwritten roles in the melee. “I’m done with prisons,” drawls Sylvester Stallone’s security expert Ray Breslin and watching Escape Plan 3 it’s hard to disagree.

Ghost of Tsushima is part of that lineage, packing in action and drama to echo Kurosawa’s legacy. George Lucas turned to Kurosawa’s The Hidden Fortress in preparation for Star Wars he’d eventually repay Kurosawa by helping to produce his surreal drama Dreams. ![]() Or even A Fistful of Dollars, a Western epic that cleaved so closely to Kurosawa’s Yojimbo that director Sergio Leone ended up in a lawsuit with Toho Productions over rights issues. You can see this keenly in Western cinema through films like The Magnificent Seven, whose narrative was largely inspired by Seven Samurai. His films endure today, and not just through critical preservation since breaking through to the West, his visual ideas and themes have become fodder for reinterpretation. ![]() In works like Drunken Angel, The Quiet Duel, or his 1944 propaganda film The Most Beautiful, Kurosawa tackles the interpersonal struggles of characters dealing with sickness, alcoholism, and other challenges. But he wasn’t just a samurai stylist: Many of the director’s films frame themselves around a central conflict of personal ideology in the face of violence that often goes without answer - and not always through the lives of samurai. Whether intentional or not, Kurosawa became the face of Japanese film in the critical circles of the 1950s. Opinions of the director in Japan are largely mixed criticism ranges from the discussion of his family background coming from generations of samurai to accusations of pandering to Western audiences. Kurosawa earned a reputation for samurai films as he worked steadily from 1943 to 1993. The conversation surrounding samurai did not begin or end with Kurosawa’s films, as Japan’s current political forces continue to reinterpret history for their own benefit. More specifically, he noted that Seven Samurai, one of Kurosawa’s most well-known works, defined Fox’s “concept of what a samurai is.” All of this work went toward the hope that players would “experience the game in a way as close to the source material as possible.”īut in embracing “Kurosawa” as an eponymous style for samurai adventures, the creatives behind Ghost of Tsushima enter into an arena of identity and cultural understanding that they never grapple with. At Entertainment Weekly, Fox explained how his team at Sucker Punch Productions suggested that the influence ran broadly, including the playable black-and-white “Kurosawa Mode” and even in picking a title. “We really wanted to pay respect to the fact that this game is so totally inspired by the work of this master,” director Nate Fox said in a recent interview with IndieWire. The artists behind the game have an equally impeccable reference point for the visuals: the works of legendary filmmaker Akira Kurosawa. ![]() Standoffs take advantage of perspective and a wide field of view to frame both the samurai and his opponent in something that, more often than not, feels truly cinematic.

So I am sad to see it go, but according to one team member, Frostbite will pick up the pass. You may remember that in my NHL review from a few years back, I quite enjoyed RPM Tech in its introduction to the franchise. I was sure it had become a major pillar of the IP, and I was fine with that. Now, motion is something that EA Sports has spent the past few years trying to put top-corner with its motion capture RPM Tech system first used in UFC 3 in 2017 and expanded to the NHL series. It wasn’t much to go off of, but it played out pretty clearly and with a full range of motion. I was given a short viewing of Auston Matthews pulling off a dirty dangle with an X-Factor. Now, I’ve only seen less than a minute of actual in-game footage so far. Detailing in jerseys follows skating directions and an arena’s surroundings are captured crisply in the cold reflections of the ice. Players and arenas bear a greater likeness to real life. While in Madden, It’s meant that tackles look… well, they look a little something like this.įor NHL 22, EA Sports hopes you’ll find that the new engine helps elevate hockey’s greatest player both in appearance and puck performance.ĮA Sports is even going so far as to call this the biggest leap forward in graphics and gameplay in series history. Frostbite has given FIFA players more control over the ball with unique skills. For all intents and purposes, this should mean that this year’s installment will have crisper lighting, better reflection and draw dynamics and perhaps most importantly, dynamic action.įrostbite has arguably made FIFA and Madden more dynamic games by allowing for a greater level of photorealism as well as in terms of fluid physics. Having an elite wrist shot is great when you can already do things like this.The biggest news is that NHL is finally using the Frostbite engine. Makes sense for him being one of the best offensive defensemen in the league, having been voted sixth in Norris Trophy voting in consecutive seasons. Theodore’s ability is “Heatseeker” for elite wrist shots. For Vegas’ top end-to-end defenseman playing 28 minutes a night, that’s a pretty reliable trait. ![]() In the case of the Golden Knights, based on the art above, Pietrangelo has the “Shutdown” ability which is for elite 1-on-1 defending.

The abilities are separated into two categories game-changing Zone abilities, and enhanced Superstar abilities. 15 for PS4, PS5, Xbox Series S|X, and Xbox One. It’s much similar to that of what the Madden series does, but the NHL will start with 50 stars that have these unique abilities.ĮA announced Monday that Golden Knights star defensemen Alex Pietrangelo and Shea Theodore, as well as captain Mark Stone will receive Superstar X-Factor abilities when the game launches Oct.

I decided to go with Hairless MIDI because it provides an easy way to debug MIDI messages, and the site has good documentation.

I personally haven’t tried because I would prefer to get my accordion communicating MIDI data wirelessly via bluetooth, which would not be able to send data in MIDI format. In theory, one could build a plug-n-play MIDI device that would work on any computer with any USB cable using this method. Going further: Shiftmore demonstrates how to integrate the MIDIUSB circuit in the cable into the Arduino. If you prefer Option 1 for your project all you should need is to follow the MIDI tutorial on the Arduino website and you should be done - when you plug in the MIDI cable from the arduino’s MIDI connector to the computer the computer should automatically recognize it as a MIDI port and receive MIDI data. If you prefer Option 1 for your project, you should just be able to follow the Arduino website’s MIDI tutorial to get that option working. That being said, that’s the option I will be elaborating on in this tutorial. Requires installing two programs and running them every time you want to play.Īfter weighing both options I decided that having a wireless option was more important to me than easy plug-n-play capabilities, so I went with Option 2.Works with any incoming serial data from any source (USB, Bluetooth, WiFi, etc.).Use Serial to MIDI conversion software to send Serial data coming from the Arduino to a virtual MIDI port.No wireless option: you’re tethered to the computer. ![]()
