Xcorps 420 Series BRUNEAU DUNES

Xcorps 420 Series-BRUNEAU DUNES
Not all Xcorps show segments focus on adrenalized head banging action sports! The Xcorps crew stopped at the Bruneau Sand Dunes during a road tour from San Diego to Hells Canyon Idaho on a recent shoot. Take a look at what our HD cams caught just off the road at Bruneau Dunes State Park 18 miles SW of Mountain Home Idaho – the southwest corner of the state. Cool and surreal place! Music by David Huber.
This scenic zone features the largest freestanding sand dune (470 feet) in North America surrounded by the beautiful Owyhee desert. What really makes things interesting is the Bruneau river slices through the area and the sand water mix makes for great photographic statements.

Open Question: Anyone want to share their favorite, “Under the Radar” video games? (description maybe?)?
I’ll be asking this question every once in a while, and sharing one from the older generations. Most of them Prior to the 6th Gen.

Anyone feel free to share a game that went by without too much notice.

Today, I’ll share one of the best games that didn’t get much support.

Legend of the Dragoon (Re: 2000)

Legend of the Dragon didn’t get much hype, because it was released for the PlayStation just prior to the release of the PlayStation 2. It is a well known game to people who knew good video games, and is hard to find today.

The game began development by Sony in 1996. Taking 4 years to finish. It is similar in gameplay and design to the Final Fantasy series. With the Turn based fighting. Scrolling Text. And Traveling.

The game included 4 disks, of about 12-16 hours of gameplay EACH! This is a game that would keep you occupied for a good month or two.

Setting

The game takes place on the fictional continent of Endiness. It is a geographically diverse land, with each climate zone being home to a different nation. The game begins in Serdio, a temperate region that is undergoing a civil war at the beginning of the game. West of Serdio is the desert nation of Tiberoa. North of Serdio are the icy regions of Gloriano and Mille Seseau. Mille Seseau is a forested mountain, while Gloriano is an icy desert.

Story

The story begins when Dart, the protagonist, is heading home from a 5 year long journey to pursue the black monster, who killed his parents and destroyed his birth city: Neet. On the way, he is attacked by Feyrbrand, a dragon controlled by the Sandora, a rebel faction in the Serdian civil war. After Dart gets hit by the dragon, he gets saved by a mysterious female heroine named Rose, though they soon part ways. When he arrives at his hometown, Seles, he discovers that it has been destroyed by Sandora, and that Shana, Dart’s childhood friend (and later in the game, his love interest), has been taken away. Dart sets out to rescue her. Throughout the game, he is periodically joined by people that he helps along the way……..

GamePlay

The Legend of Dragoon features three modes of play: the world map, the field map, and battle mode. The world map is linear with the controlled character’s movements, which is then limited to dotted lines from place to place. The field map is used whenever the player enters a town, dungeon, or landmark. It consists of 3D characters on a 2D pre-rendered background. Animations are overlaid to create motion such as the movement of water or light effects. Battle mode is a 3D field that complements the current field map. Turn-based battles occur in this between playable characters and CPU-controlled enemies. Standard actions such as attack, magic, defend, item and escape are present and implemented in various ways.

Now, the game had some amazing cinematics. With Graphical quality that could rival Final Fantasy XII ! Only recieving voice cinimatics during the last disk.

IGN gave the game only 7/10. Which is not bad, but it deserved much better than that. http://psx.ign.com/objects/013/013238.html

GameSpot gave it 6.4 http://www.gamespot.com/ps/rpg/legendofdragoon/index.html

I, Joe Schulz, give this game a Rewarding, 9.7/10
