With the film recently arriving on DVD, I had the chance to talk to co-director Scott Waugh and star Lieutenant Commander Rorke Denver about the release, the critical reaction to the film, and the rumors that Waugh would be directing the upcoming video game adaptation, **Need for Speed
When the film **Act of Valor ** arrived in theaters earlier this year it became a surprise hit, opening at number #1 at the box office. The film went on to earn over $70 million domestically (on a $12 million budget) and brought recognition to both the real life Navy SEALs who starred in the picture and co-directors Scott Waugh and Mike Mc
The title for this upcoming shooter was initially leaked via a Riot Games trademark filing , however, as more information came out, users began to realize that it was a clever marketing rollout. For one, Valorant already had a Twitter page with many important Esports players and journalists already following. Once the information was out, the full reveal was posted on the game’s official YouTube channel in the form of a round of gameplay similar to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive . In fact, Valorant seeks to blend the fast-paced, twitch-oriented gameplay of Counter-Strike and the character systems found in Overwatch . This unique blend has many players excited and some criti
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, 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
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
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
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 patch Notes|https://Valorantfocus.Com/ ** . However, the true test of Riot’s claim will come during the game’s closed b
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
Deadline is reporting that the film project – we’ll refer to it as **Act of Valor 2 ** for brevity’s sake – will be another “R-Rated gritty actioner,” albeit this time the focus will be on elite SWAT officers rather than Navy SEALs. The intention seems to be for the followup installment to emulate the model used to construct the original Act of Valor movie. That is, a fictionalized account of a dangerous operation – carried out by a highly-effective task force – will be used to illustrate the harsh realities of that lifestyle; that is, by recreating actual firefight scenarios and anecdotal details with as much accuracy as possible (while still delivering an engaging viewing experien
Today, we have a new TV spot for Act of Valor , as well as a five-minute long featurette that offers a better look at the overall filmmaking style of the project, along with the hazardous locations, up-to-date Navy technology/vehicles, and physically-exhausting combat maneuvers on display in the mo
