Takedown: Red Sabre, the squad-based tactical shooter from Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon creative director Christian Allen's development studio, is a step away from traditional AAA military shooters and flaunts an emphasis on tactics, realism and teamwork. The result is unforgiving, gratifying and addictive. Serellan is an indie start-up of roughly ten people. Everyone on the team holds no less than ten years experience in the game development industry. The studio's founder Christian Allen, has 20 years experience within the industry alone, working on several tactical shooters like Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six. Allen said it is a mid-core game, not a hundred million dollar game and the team is obviously not trying to compete with likes of Call of Duty. His goal is to bring quality games to the...

Infinity Ward animator Chance Glasco explains the logic behind invisible torsos

Infinity Ward's decision not to allow players to view their character's torso or legs in Call of Duty titles allowed the studio time to create better games, according to veteran animator Chance Glasco in a recent Reddit AMA thread. While the developers could feasibly have put full-body animation on show, Glasco states it is more important for a studio to focus its time on creating game features that players will see and use often. "It's one of those things we technically could have done," writes Glasco, "but have always found features more important to add. Often the difference between a good game or a bad game is someone putting the hammer down on cute and fun little features that take as much time as important features that might be seen or used often. That was also a huge run-on...
