AMD Collaborates with Arka Media Works and Film Director SS Rajamouli to Create Stunning VR Experiences Based On Upcoming Baahubali Sequel

AMD Collaborates with Arka Media Works and Film Director SS Rajamouli to Create Stunning VR Experiences Based On Upcoming Baahubali Sequel  
Unprecedented 360 Video and VR experiences brought to millions through new technology

Sydney, Australia.— October 28, 2016 — AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) showcased new technology that can bring 360 video and Virtual Reality to millions through a bleeding edge Virtual Reality capture instrument with up to 32 cameras and the AMD’s renowned GPU-accelerated video stitching software. Used in conjunction with Radeon Pro Graphics, the new technology is being used initially to develop content to promote the upcoming Baahubali: The Conclusion, a movie directed by SS Rajamouli scheduled to premiere on April 28, 2017.

Under the creative direction of SS Rajamouli, Arka Media Works and AMD’s Radeon Technologies Group (RTG) are using the new technology to collaborate on two pieces of compelling VR content: a 360-degree video titled “On the Sets of Baahubali” and a fully immersive VR experience, “The Sword of Baahubali.” On the Sets of Baahubali is available now, and was shown to attendees of MAMI on October 22nd and 23rd along with early takes of The Sword of Baahubali. “We are beyond thrilled to have Baahubali: The Conclusion and AMD’s Radeon Technologies Group showcase the world’s most advanced VR experience for the first time here at MAMI,” said Anupama Chopra, director of the JIo MAMI 18th Mumbai Film Festival with Star.

“As humans we are at awe when we experience things of large scale – both natural and man-made,” said Rajamouli, director for both Baahubali films. “We are at awe when we see the Grand Canyon, we are also at awe when we stand next to 2,722 feet tall man-made Bhurj Khalifa. I have been fascinated by the possibilities with scale since the first time I experienced VR. Through collaboration with AMD’s Radeon Technologies Group we have been fortunate to get access to cutting edge VR technologies that are helping us to push the boundaries like never before.”

To create these experiences, AMD has built the radical new VR capture camera – the bb360cc – and leading-edge 360-degree video stitching software. The bb360cc provides real-time VR preview and up to 32 cameras. Using AMD-created Project Loom software, videographers can rapidly stitch 360-degree video, often in real-time or nearly so, eclipsing the time needed using alternative techniques. The open source Project Loom software is expected to be widely available to content creators by the end of the year.

“AMD is committed to bringing VR to millions across the globe and that includes enabling filmmakers to provide cinematic quality to a VR experience,” said Raja Koduri, senior vice president and chief architect, Radeon Technologies Group, AMD. “On the Sets of Baahubali is being shot with the new bb360cc camera and the teaser clips being shown a MAMI are easily the most stunning 360 video yet experienced. The Sword of Baahubali is a very ambitious real-time computer graphics VR experience that is designed to push the limits of next generation GPU hardware.”

“We’re excited to be working with AMD’s Radeon Technologies Group to create state-of-the-art VR experiences,” said Shobu Yarlagadda, co-founder and CEO of Arka Media Works. “We are targeting the release of The Sword of Baahubali in April, 2017 around the release of the film. We already have a few hundred theaters planning to install the VR equipment to support the launch of this extraordinary and compelling VR experience.”

Visual Novel Developer Frontwing’s Latest Project “Grisaia: Phantom Trigger” Announced

Visual Novel Developer Frontwing’s Latest Project “Grisaia: Phantom Trigger” Announced

Tokyo, Japan – October 28, 2016 Tokyo-based visual novel developer Frontwing has announced its newest project, “Grisaia: Phantom Trigger”. “Grisaia: Phantom Trigger” is a dramatic visual novel series, with the first two installments to be released for the PC in Spring of 2017. The official website for the series can be found here: http://www.grisaia-pt.com

The Grisaia series is Frontwing’s most popular franchise, with sales of the games in the first trilogy topping 300,000 units worldwide. The series has also had a very successful anime adaptation, produced by NBC Universal and directed by Tensho, as well as serialized manga adaptation.

“Grisaia: Phantom Trigger” takes place after the existing Grisaia trilogy, and features a completely new group of heroines as well as a new protagonist. The story follows a class of students at Mihama Academy, which has been converted by anti-terror organization CIRS into a ‘specialist training school’ for a new generation of operatives.

Both illustrator/character designer Akio Watanabe and writer Ryuta Fujisaki return from the original Grisaia trilogy to work on “Phantom Trigger”, and the game will feature SD character artwork by nanaca mai. The opening theme, “Ends of the Earth”, is composed by Hitoshi Fujima and sung by Marina Kawano, with lyrics by Yoshikazu Kuwashima.

“Grisaia: Phantom Trigger” is planned to be released in a serialized format, with the first two entries releasing simultaneously in Spring of 2017. A third entry will follow in the Summer, and subsequent titles in the series are also planned. Currently the game is confirmed for sale on the Steam platform, and other information will be announced as it is confirmed.

The “Phantom Trigger” series is being localized in English by Frontwing’s experienced in-house translation team, the members of which are proficient Japanese to English translators who possess JLPT N1 certification or equivalent. It also features a brand-new system allowing simultaneous display of English and Japanese text during gameplay, as well as language switching at the press of a button.

Since the company’s founding in 1999 as a bishojo games developer and the release of Frontwing’s first title, “Canary’ (Canaria: Kono Omoi o Uta ni Nosete) in August 2000, we have published a number of titles in the visual novel genre. From school life love stories to hardcore adult games, as well as titles which utilize 3D computer graphics, our creations cover a diverse range of genres. Our products, as well as the characters they feature, have come to represent the world of bishojo games. Frontwing marked its first venture into the overseas market May 29, 2015, with the English release of ‘The Fruit of Grisaia’ on Steam.  Since then, we have self-published the Corona Blossom series, as well as two ‘Grisaia’ series side stories, ‘The Leisure of Grisaia’ and ‘The Afterglow of Grisaia’, and further localized titles are in the works.

SYDNEY, Australia – October 28, 2016 – Respawn Entertainment and Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) today announced that the highly anticipated Titanfall2 is now available in stores worldwide on Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, Origin™ for PC, and for the first time in the franchise, the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system. Winner of the Official Game Critics’ Award for Best Online Multiplayer at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in June, Titanfall 2 builds on the signature Pilot and Titan combat the series is known for and provides a deeper, more robust experience that once again delivers innovative, unique, and exciting gameplay. Titanfall 2 is receiving universal praise from critics around the world, with Game Informer giving it a 9.5, calling it a “must play”, while GamesRadar+ calls Titanfall 2, “one of the most creative and rewarding FPS in recent memory”, and PlayStation Lifestyle states Titanfall 2 is, “the new king of the FPS hill”.

With Titanfall 2, we built on the dynamic Pilot and Titan gameplay established with the first Titanfall to deliver an experience that is deeper, more refined, yet still as fun as ever,” said Vince Zampella, CEO of Respawn Entertainment. “In single player, we’ve crafted something that is unlike any other campaign out there, and in multiplayer, we once again deliver gameplay that feels, plays, and looks great.”

Featuring the first single player campaign in the series’ history, Titanfall 2 delivers a carefully crafted action-adventure experience that provides a vibrant mix of exciting, innovative gameplay that brings fresh ideas and mechanics to the shooter genre. Following a failed Militia assault on the IMC planet of Typhon, Militia rifleman Jack Cooper must team up with BT-7274, a Vanguard-class Titan, to uphold a mission they were never meant to carry out. Over the course of the campaign, Jack and BT-7274 must work together to overcome insurmountable odds, and along the way realize that they are unstoppable together.

In multiplayer, Respawn builds on the dynamic Pilot and Titan gameplay to once again deliver an experience that is fast, fluid, and fun. Whether it’s fighting as a Pilot – the agile, mobile, and incredibly deadly apex-predators of the Frontier – or one of six all-new Titans – 20-foot-tall war machines wrapped in armor – Titanfall 2 delivers a deep, robust experience that is unmatched. Titanfall 2 also introduces Networks, an in-game social hub that serves as player’s home base during multiplayer. Making it fast and easy to play with friends both old and new, Networks range from casual to competitive. Each Network will also be able to take advantage of a daily Happy Hour, where each player within that Network gets bonus Merits they can use to unlock in-game items quicker.
