All three movies are coming to Amazon Prime Thursday; they'll be available through the month of October. That means endless trips to 1955, 1985, 1855 and the version of 2015 where no one knows how to dress themselves!</div> <div class="see-also" style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22.5px; text-transform: uppercase;"> <div class="inline-ad-seealso" style="margin: 0px 18.75px 0px auto; max-width: 625px;"> </div> </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em;"> This is also great news for non-superfans, who will finally be able to see the movies without having to watch their weird friends’ dusty DVDs and listen to their ongoing commentary about how time travel is the coolest, and <em>Back to the Future II</em> is Billy Zane’s best work.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em;"> 2015 marks the 30-year anniversary of the original <em>Back to the Future</em> film, in which Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) accidentally travels to 1955 and has to help his parents fall in love. This is also the year McFly travels to in <em>Back to the Future II</em>, which shows 2015 as a time when people travel in flying cars but still send faxes.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em;"> The films will be available all month through the Amazon website, app, and connected devices.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em;"> <em>Have something to add to this story?

The most realistic video game ever made

<span style="background-color: white; color: #292929; font-family: 'Unit Slab Pro Bold', 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 43px;"><span style="font-size: large;">How ‘Metal Gear Solid V’ achieves such a high level of realism</span></span><br /> <img height="360" src="http://cdn.newsapi.com.au/image/v1/25f23699b097b6f0a849eecfeb3c7a21" width="640" /><br /> <br /> <div class="story-intro" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: LiberationSerifRegular, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 14px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;"> <span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: LiberationSerifBold, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">IN case you haven’t heard, one of the most realistic video games of all time debuted recently for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. “Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain” is a third-person shooter that lets you roam around army bases in Afghanistan and shoot the bad guys.</span></div> </div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: LiberationSerifRegular, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 23px; padding: 0px 0px 14px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;"> However, its open-ended gameplay, unscripted sequences, and factors like sound and changing weather create a sense of actually being on the battlefront. It’s a technical achievement that has earned rave reviews. As I found by playing the game myself, there’s nothing quite like it.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: LiberationSerifRegular, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 23px; padding: 0px 0px 14px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;"> About that open-ended gameplay: The sense of “being there” comes from the game’s overall structure. You can go anywhere and do anything. When you sneak into a base, you can decide to blow up a tanker, crawl through a sewer, or run right through the main gate. In one early scene, I managed to crawl through the entire base without any confrontations.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: LiberationSerifRegular, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 23px; padding: 0px 0px 14px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;"> Gaming expert Chris Ferguson, a professor at Stetson University, told FoxNews.com this open-ended gameplay helps gamers feel as though they are accomplishing something, which adds to the realism. He explained how the Self Determination Theory is at play.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: LiberationSerifRegular, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 23px; padding: 0px 0px 14px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;"> “We often turn to games to help us get needs met that aren’t met in real life. More realistic games can make our accomplishments seem more important, again at least within the game universe and do more to help us get those needs met by games,” he says.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: LiberationSerifRegular, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 23px; padding: 0px 0px 14px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;"> Apart from the open gameplay, the graphics are also ultra-convincing.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: LiberationSerifRegular, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 23px; padding: 0px 0px 14px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;"> For example, in the opening sequences of the game, there’s a mounting sense of dread, accented with ominous music and flickering lights that’s exacerbated by how close you feel to the action.</div> <div class="article-media article-media-inline article-media-inline-embedded" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #292929; font-family: LiberationSerifRegular, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 23px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <div class="module" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <div class="module-content" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <div class="youtube-iframe" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; height: 0px; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 20px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px 0px 365.625px; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;"> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/A9JV0EvCkMI" style="border-width: 0px; bottom: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; height: 365.625px; left: 0px; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; position: absolute; top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 650px;"></iframe></div> </div> </div> </div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: LiberationSerifRegular, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 23px; padding: 0px 0px 14px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;"> Several sequences take place just a few feet or even a few inches from you. More than anything, the game puts you inside the head of the main character who has a prosthetic limb and multiple gunshot wounds. His dire condition makes you want to help him.In another scene after the long introduction, you see the main character riding horseback in a sandstorm. The camera angle is perfect — you see the foreground rocks and the horse pushing against the wind. Blink twice and you might think it’s a movie.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: LiberationSerifRegular, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 23px; padding: 0px 0px 14px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;"> One of the main tricks the game uses to convince you the action is real is that the camera moves as though someone is holding it. After the storm passes, the camera jumps like your eye would — first looking down, then up, then following the main character up a ravine. When you look through a pair of binoculars and zoom in, the graphics blur and lose focus as though steam is rising.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: LiberationSerifRegular, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 23px; padding: 0px 0px 14px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;"> Sound plays a major role here. In some scenes during a heavy rainstorm, you can run faster because your footsteps are not as loud. You ride a horse in the game to cross the desert faster, but if you go prone, you can sneak around undetected.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: LiberationSerifRegular, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 23px; padding: 0px 0px 14px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;"> The day-to-night changes impact the realism as well. At night, your aim is not as good but you can sneak around easier and enemies won’t be able to see you.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: LiberationSerifRegular, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 23px; padding: 0px 0px 14px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;"> Dmitri Williams, an USC professor who studies the science of games, told FoxNews.com that games like Metal Gear Solid 5 are just about to cross a threshold into photorealism.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: LiberationSerifRegular, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 23px; padding: 0px 0px 14px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;"> Fergusson says we’re edging closer to a time when video games are more like interactive movies that gives us a richer sense of character development and visual excitement.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292929; font-family: LiberationSerifRegular, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 23px; padding: 0px 0px 14px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;"> We’ll see when the next game can top “Metal Gear Solid V.”</div>

The most realistic video game ever made
