FPS Trainer to Debut in Edinburgh

December 17, 2010

Are you horrible at first-person shooters? Do your friends call you "butter foot" and other unsettling in-game terms when you play online? There may be help for you thanks to FPS Trainer, an online service that combines an AI-controlled coaching technology and advice from "world class players" to teach players the fundamentals of first-person action games.

According to Play2Improve, fewer than 40 percent of players choose to play online because they are "intimidated by the ferocious talent and skill shown by some of the most dedicated players." FPS Trainer offers gamers the chance to learn the basics of playing FPS games online and teach more experienced players some secret techniques to bring their online play to a higher level.

Designed and developed by Dundee, Scotland-based Play2Improve, FPS Trainer been designed to teach players how to play 'First Person Shooter' (FPS) videogames online against other players. The FPS Trainer is also supported by professional players such as Paul 'astz!' McGarrity, a world champion gamer who has won professional gaming tournaments all over the world.

FPS Trainer will debut at a public preview in Edinburgh's HMV Gamerbase (129/130 Princes Street).

Andrew Eisen: Absolutly zero gameplay footage. Doesn't look like there are going to be a lot of games ready to launch by the end of the year.05/21/2013 - 1:12pm
E. Zachary Knight: They didn't talk about any of the other exclusives. I guess they are saving that for E3.05/21/2013 - 1:06pm
E. Zachary Knight: quicknoid, They have 15 exclusives coming in the first year with 8 of them being original franchises. I think Ghosts is at least a timed exclusive.05/21/2013 - 1:06pm
MaskedPixelante: Maybe they could stick some facial recognition software on the new Kinect to keep 12 year olds off of Xbox Live. That'd be nice.05/21/2013 - 1:06pm
ddrfr33k: I'm still not holding my breath05/21/2013 - 1:04pm

quiknkold: The Halo TV Show is the only thing that impressed me.05/21/2013 - 1:03pm
quiknkold: so to summarize. Xbox One is a Glorified Television box with gaming capabilities. Voice activated tv because people are getting lazyer than using a remote control. more kinect, no exclusive games, and they only show sports games and call of duty05/21/2013 - 1:03pm
Sleaker: looks like no more MS hardware for me.05/21/2013 - 1:02pm

Cecil475: XBOX One? 359 less?05/21/2013 - 12:42pm
Peshi006: Which is what some were worried about. Getting too much into encompassing all facets of living room entertainment, and a shift away from games. Hopefully not the case.05/21/2013 - 12:40pm
