Q&A

Follow Exertis for the latest news & updates

Ben Clifford and Daniel Blackband Get to know Exertis’ EDS Designers, Ben Clifford and Daniel Blackband Hi Guys, what are the EDS design services that Exertis offer and what is your involvement?

Ben: The Design & Sourcing team is based on a strong backbone of Industrial and Graphic design expertise. The unique relationships we have built with manufacturers and suppliers in the Far East means that we are able to handle almost any project on any scale. We have worked on a comprehensive range, including; conceptual product and packaging solutions, ODM/OEM projects for Own Brand opportunities, unique brand creation and development and the sourcing and shipping of any product you can imagine.

Dan: We are a specialist service team that are dedicated to provide tailored value added solutions for your business and product range. Our industrial and graphic design capabilities help to bring unique products and designs through to market. In a nutshell; we source, design, develop and manufacture consumer goods.

Can you tell us more about what your role entails?

Dan: As a designer I have responsibilities to work within the design team and with the customer to discuss and understand the specific requirements for each brief and create a unique approach and outcome that will maximise the potential for the clients needs. On a day-to-day basis

I liaise with suppliers in the Far East to help see designs through from product brief and initial sketches to final CAD surface and solid models that are used for visual presentation, product development and production and everything in between.

Which project are you most proud of and which has been the toughest?

Dan: Recently the ones that stand out are the Argos and Tesco projects, where we produced and delivered a range of own brand speakers into the UK market. All projects can be tough but as a designer it is part of the problem solving mindset that drives us to deliver a solution to any deadline.

Ben: Definitely working with buyers to develop audio designs that have eventually seen a number of SKUs come to market, and more recently the complete redesigning and repositioning of the Linx brand as a tablet range has been particularly rewarding and has allowed me take control over some areas of design that are new to me.

Describe yourself in 3 words?

Ben: Meticulous. Original. Witty.

Dan: Ambitious. Easy-going. Creative.

Introducing Exertis Digital for Retailers

to find out more

The brand new way to sell digital codes!

Exertis Digital is a scheme created by Exertis to ensure that retailers are receiving the best possible solution to sell digital codes to consumer.

Exertis Digital gives retailers the ability to sell Xbox Live digital codes via your credit account, in conjunction with in-store marketing assets and an easy-to-use website to purchase your customer’s requested product.

The products available through Exertis Digital range from download currency to downloadable memberships and enables retailers to not only decrease stock holding risk on digital download products, but control physical stock holding too; thus enabling them to stock more physical products such as games, consoles and hardware, therefore increasing their capacity to consumer.

With digital becoming an increasing factor in retail, Exertis Digital gives retailers the opportunity to stay in reach of customer demand and provide a wider variety of digital products.

Microsoft’s Pawan Bhardwaj said, “Digital codes offer the unique opportunity for retailers to promote the thousands of great games and add-ons available within the marketplace without being exposed on stock.

Not only that, but the customer experience becomes more personalised than ever before. Local stores can help to select innovative and exciting titles that might be overlooked by some of the more publicised games.

Allowing retailers, especially physical ones, selling digital codes lets them be reactive to new content that becomes available in the market place. It also lets retailers get instant access to digital codes for customers any time of the day.

Retailers have a chance to grasp the digital opportunity to ensure they are offering customers what they want, which is a combination of disc and digital products”

2K | XBOX ONE - £54.99 | PS4 - £54.99 | PC - £39.99 | 10th FEBRUARY 2015

Due for release in February 2015, Evolve is billed as “a unique next gen shooter” where four human hunters team up and fight together to take down a single player-controlled monster.

In the human ‘hunter’ role, players have four classes to choose from - Trapper, Support, Assault, or Medic - and each has its own distinct play style. All of the roles are crucial to the success of the group, and players must work together as a team and stalk their prey if they are to succeed against their brutal foe.

The Assault class, for example, has the most powerful weaponry, the Medic keeps the team alive and kicking, the Trapper is the best at tracking the monster, while the Support class help their team mates rain death down upon their enemy. A motley crew of 12 characters is available, including war veterans, psychopaths, professionals and expendables.

The player who elects to control the monster, meanwhile, has multiple monsters to choose from, including the fire-spewing, earth-ripping Goliath, and the flying, magic-blasting Kraken.

As the monster, players will be able to eat smaller wildlife and evolve into a stronger version - but at the risk of leaving themselves briefly vulnerable while they enter a cocoon-like state. Along the way, the monster may also be tasked with destroying buildings and other secondary objectives.

Success during the battle allows players to earn skill points, and upgrade their three main abilities, along with a selection of new skins and perks.

Available on Xbox One, PS4 and PC, Evolve promises to be a true next generation title, and is available through Exertis.

he creators of the seminal Left 4 Dead series return next year with another exhilarating multiplayer experience.

The ability to create two vastly different experiences in the one game is something that not only enhances the replayability of the game, but also allows it to stay fresh and exciting.

My time with Evolve was a pleasure all around, making me feel the anxiety of being hunted… and the thrill of being something like a badass fusion of the Predator, Cthulhu and a Jurassic Park styled Velociraptor.

Spending a few hours with Kraken only reaffirmed the fact that Evolve is one of my most anticipated games.

Stereo Headset.

The Xbox One Wireless Controller features over 40 improvements to the award-winning Xbox 360 Wireless Controller.

Surround your senses and immerse yourself in rich stereo sound with the Xbox One Stereo Headset.

Feel the action like never before with new impulse triggers. New vibration monitors in the triggers provide precise fingertip feedback bringing weapons, crashes and jolts to life for a whole new level of gaming realism. The newly designed D-Pad is responsive to both sweeping and directional movements.

The Stereo Headset features an over-the-ear design to deliver a comfortable fit for long gaming sessions. With its unidirectional microphone for clear voice capture and full range audio spectrum, it ensures the player is right in the action of every game.

The controller enters a low power state that conserves the battery if for example a movie is being watched. The moment the controller is picked up again, it will be ready for use without having to re-sync with the console.

The controller has the flexibility to be wireless or wired with the use of a micro USB cable. The increased data transfer rate between the controller and console has also been improved, allowing for higher fidelity audio in communication headsets.

Webcode SV3-00008 SRP £44.99

It includes detachable Stereo Headset Adapter that puts the audio controls at your fingertips including volume up/down, microphone mute, and independent control of game and chat audio levels so players never need to take their hands off the controller. Players can even control the balance of game sounds and chat audio to focus on what they want to hear.

The Stereo Headset provides premium audio experience for both game and chat audio with full range audio spectrum (20Hz-20kHz) for deep bass, all the way to crystal-clear high frequencies.
