Screen Peeking Put To The Test In Rooster Teeth's Immersion Series
We all had that friend: the one that would constantly screen peek back when shooters were played split-screen instead of online. It was a huge advantage in game, but would it be one in real life?
Rooster Teeth has released a video testing out if having the ability to see what your opponent sees is actually advantageous. To test it out, two subjects were outfitted with paintball gear and GoPro cameras attached to their helmets. The video was then fed back to a screen on their visors, but split up like an old FPS game.
The video was part of the Immersion series, where common ideas from video games are put to the test in real life situations: including eating food to cure illness or driving a car from a third-person viewpoint.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
