Act of Valor was scripted by Kurt Johnstad ( 300 ) and is reportedly based on several real-life incidents involving Navy SEALs. Those stories were thereafter reconstructed and tied together to form the film’s central narrative, which follows the Bandito Platoon as it works in collaboration with the C.I.A. and sets out to stop a global terrorist plot that threatens to result in the coordinated killing of thousands of U.S. civili
McCoy and Waugh will produce the new Act of Valor movie installment, but the screenwriting and directing responsibilities are going to be handled by Scott Wiper instead. The latter has made such films as the small-town vigilante feature Captain Jack , the police/Mafia thriller A Better Way to Die and the “death match as televised entertainment” action-thriller The Condemned (which was released well-after The Running Man , but before The Hunger Game movie). If you have never heard of, much less seen , any of these films, well… that’s may be because most of them were box office duds and critical misfi
As mentioned before, most of the Act of Valor cast members are actual SEALs. However, there are a few familiar faces (and voices) in the crowd, including Roselyn Sanchez ( Rush Hour 2 ), Emilio Rivera ( Sons of Anarchy ), Nestor Serrano ( 24 ) and Call of Duty video game series voice actor Alex Vea
All that said: Act of Valor is clearly meant to be foremost a visceral documentary-style experience that effectively illustrates the nature of the SEAL lifestyle and shows just how difficult that job is, both emotionally and physically. So long as the movie can manage that task in a balanced fashion that simply reflects the true nature of Navy SEALs daily life (without either excessively glorifying or vilifying it) it should turn out well eno
Previously known as Project Ares , Valorant is just one of several games that Riot recently announced it’s working on. The League of Legends developer is also working on a new fighting game and a dungeon crawler, as well as the card battler Legends of Runeterra , which is currently in beta. If that wasn’t enough, the developer also recently launched a whole new division devoted to making tabletop games. Aside from Legends of Runeterra , Valorant looks to be the furthest along of any of Riot’s new projects , or at least the one players have the most information ab
According to PC Gamer , Valorant’s developers have done a fantastic job of prioritizing hardware and software optimization. Riot stated Valorant is playable to at least 30 frames per second, ” on most-min spec computers (even dating back to a decade). ” To better understand the minimum requirements, Riot has outlined the baseline for each performance t
The second Act of Valor installment will probably wind up with a subtitle, rather than being called **Act of Valor 2 ** . We’ll keep you posted on the developing project as more information is made availa
Riot Games’ mindful design comes at a time where PC games are pushing for the next bigger and better peripheral. Game design has become ever more complicated , making triple-A titles unplayable at times for low-end computers and non-gaming laptops. The ability of Valorant to perform well on a wide range of computers is smart because it greatly widens the demographic. Not all PC gamers , especially on the younger side of the spectrum, have access to top-of-the-line gaming equipment . Creating a game with high-quality visual design and attractive gameplay is one thing, but making it accessible in an industry where a huge gap in hardware exists is a whole task in and of itself. These specifications give a general idea of what’s needed to play **Valorant ** . However, the true test of Riot’s claim will come during the game’s closed b
Performance across the detailed tiers will vary and improves with better hardware. It’s easy to see that Valorant ‘s mindful design satisfies the majority of current-day PC rigs. For perspective, the minimum and recommended CPUs and GPUs released nearly 10 years ago. The Intel i3-370 M released in August of 2010, Valorantfocus.Com and the Intel HD Graphics 3000 was announced in 2011. PC gamers always find a way to stretch the lifetime of their expensive hardware. Still, most equipment from this era is incompatible with current generation motherboards and has therefore been phased
The $30 million Navy SEAL flick _Act of Valor _ ended up being in production for over two years, thanks to the frequently-busy schedule of its main cast, which is primarily composed of legitimate active-duty SEALS. Moviegoers will soon get to see the results of directors Mike “Mouse” McCoy and Scott Waugh’s efforts when the actual film is released in theat
The lack of character skins in Valorant might be a turn-off for some players, but others will definitely appreciate the inclusion of the Urf weapon skins. Urf is a pretty niche character, and anyone who’s going into **Valorant ** without having played League of Legends will likely have no idea what the skins are even referencing. While it’s good to see Riot throwing in a treat for some of its biggest fans, the developer will probably need to offer quite a bit more to keep entirely new players from feeling left
