Q&A

Follow Exertis Gem for the latest news & updates

Introducing Peter Foreman We talk to Leisure & Xbox Team Manager, Peter Foreman about his time at Exertis Gem Peter, tell us what your roles entails? My role involves weekly forecasting and reporting on sales, whilst helping to support and monitor the Leisure & Xbox team. It’s my responsibility to ensure as a team, we achieve a proﬁtable return and accomplish set targets and objectives. I also personally manage some of the key accounts and regularly liaise with vendors and Category Managers to keep up to date with relevant promotional and product activity.

Kinect’s features, and also bringing seamless switching between different media. The ability to snap to live TV whilst gaming or make a Skype call is incredible. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for Xbox One. The crowd funded business model has also brought some really exciting products to market, Leap Motion being one of them, it’s just phenomenal. This could revolutionise the way we interact with our computers and our gaming devices. What did you want to be when growing up? A professional motocross rider.

You have worked at Exertis Gem for a number of years, what are the biggest changes you have seen in recent times? A lot has changed from when I ﬁrst joined Exertis Gem in June 2007 as an Account Manager. The massive increase in demand for digital products and services has dramatically reshaped how consumers buy their products and how businesses operate. It’s a brave new world. I have also seen the introduction of innovative technologies like Kinect, introducing voice and gesture commands into games. And of course perhaps the biggest gaming launch, Xbox One, further improving

2013 saw the launch of huge AAA titles including GTA 5 and Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, what is coming out that excites you this year? Watchdogs and Evolve both look fantastic! I’m keen to see what E3 will bring. What’s your favourite game of all time? SSX Tricky – It’s just the best game. Ever. Tell us a joke. Why does Snoop Dogg carry an umbrella? Fo’ drizzle.

Watch_Dogs played as well as it looked. VIDEOGAMER

ne of this years’ most fiercely anticipated titles is finally ready for launch this month after a mammoth 5 years in development.

Watch_Dogs is an exhilarating open-world action adventure starring Aiden Pearce - a gifted vigilante hacker must use all his skills to track down those responsible for hurting his family. From the people behind smash hit franchises: Assassin’s Creed and Splinter Cell, Watch_Dogs shares the studios same creative masterminds that made those games so special. With an additional 6 months of polishing and refinement, the makers of Watch_Dogs used the time wisely to make the game the best it could possibly be. Speaking with Edge Magazine, Creative Director Jonathon Morin commented “When everything started to connect to each other, we started to feel the limitations of certain reactions.” He continued “When you have so many animations, so many audio bars to do, so much text to write… the amount of content is so outstanding that when you start to play the game, sometimes you hit something you’ve never seen before and it’s not right, so you need more time.”

Watch_Dogs will also deliver stunning realism, dynamic AI inhabitants, and robust reputation system, thanks to the 'Disrupt' game engine. With all versions developed in tandem, and without trimming down the mechanics for different platforms, gamers will enjoy the same great experience no matter their system. The decisions players make will create a "ripple effect" on not just the story, but the city and the life of Chicago's population, making player choice a key feature. Watch_Dogs also features an elaborate one-on-one multiplayer element, where a player becomes a generic NPC avatar in another player's world, and must attempt to upload a virus to the other player’s mobile device. The player will be notified of the virus, and must track down the rival hacker to stop them before the hack is complete. The multiplayer will be unavailable during story missions, so players won’t need to worry about other hackers interposing an important moment. Watch_Dogs will be one of this year's major AAA releases. Get in touch with your Exertis Gem account manager today.

There are over 30 weapons for players to get their hands on, and 65 vehicles to explore the city with. Thanks to contributions from the team behind Driver, driving feels great.

HUFFINGTON POST

At its core Watch_Dogs uses some well-worn genre mechanics, but it overlays these with both a level of visual sheen that only next-gen can provide, and the type of large-scale interactivity that hasn’t been seen before.

It’s hugely enjoyable to thrash around in.

The is certainly the game's biggest strength, providing lots of inventive and additional ways to achieve objectives. DIGITAL SPY

IT’S YOU VS. THE WORLD

MICROSOFT STUDIOS | XBOX ONE - £49.99 | OUT NOW

inect Sports Rivals puts players in the game like never before, tracking not only limbs, but fingers, hand gestures, even facial movements and expressions with incredible accuracy.

Scanning the player, Kinect instantly produces a stylised avatar called a “Champion”. This one-of-a-kind athlete is dropped on to a rich seamless island, where all the sporting action happens. Both global and personal games are held here daily, on pounding waves and towering stacks, target ranges and tennis courts, with 6 exciting sports to master: Tennis, Bowling, Soccer, Wake Race, Target Shooting and Climbing. Delivering new sports and events that were never before possible, thanks to the Xbox One’s revolutionary technology, this new and improved tracking lets players deliver more lifelike moves such as devastating backspins and lobs in Tennis.

Target shooting requires players to accurately point at targets to activate them, but targets will decrease in score value over time, so order and timing is key for mastering this activity. Another new addition is Rock climbing, where players open and close their hands to grip on to the digital rock face. Finally Wake Racing brings exciting Jet-ski races by revving and steering with imaginary handles over stunning waves. Progressively mastering sporting events by levelling up, players can gain fame and unlock rewards. It’s a world full of sports that all will enjoy. Customers can take on friends at home or rivals online across the world.

Or the all-important spin with a skilful twist of the wrist to achieve a strike in bowling. Soccer returns from previous entries with a new approach. Players must pass the ball to static marked and unmarked team mates; the increased difficulty of the passes will provide added shooting power when player finally targets the goal.

The best games, entertainment and multiplayer The all-in-one games and entertainment system keeps getting better

box One delivers a new generation of games and entertainment. Jump from TV to movies to music to a game in an instant with custom experiences tailored to each user.

Working with some of the leading entertainment brands and TV providers, Xbox One offers customers a wide variety of live and on-demand entertainment, harnessing the power of the all-in-one platform and built from the ground up. Premium, voice and gesture controlled TV and entertainment apps have been specifically designed to create a seamless experience from the comfort of a sofa, or anywhere in the home. A Bing search for TV, movies, games, or music scans across all apps to find exactly what customers are looking for, instead of having to hunt through each app individually. For the first time, customers don’t have to juggle multiple screens across digital TV, video streaming services and other entertainment apps to quickly find the entertainment they’re looking for.

With games, multiplayer, live TV and the best entertainment apps, Xbox One is a complete entertainment system. Make sure you are stocking Xbox One and the latest bundles like the Xbox One Titanfall bundle. Titanfall is a blisteringly fast and fluid first-person shooter set in the near future, in the midst of two warring factions. Players take control of jetpack fitted pilots and huge mechanised warriors called titans, in a heart-pounding multiplayer action game with other players from all over the world. The Xbox One Titanfall bundle includes the all-in-one entertainment system, custom packaging, a full game download and a month of Xbox Live Gold. This is an online only title that will require Xbox Live Gold to play. So make sure you are stocked up on Xbox Live Gold Membership 12 month and 3 Month cards.
