LIW 2009
Heroes made Here: Gen Con

BRISBANE, AUSUSTRALIA, SEPTEMBER 2ND 2009: The festival of pop culture fandom, Gen Con™, returns to Brisbane, now with the live combat entertainment phenomenon.

Fanboy Master Chiefs and homemade Darth Vaders dARTH VADERwill be gunning for glory in the Battlefield LIVE arena.

Combat entertainment company Battlefield LIVE replicates the compelling action of computer gaming, live.

Battlefield LIVE’s system called S*A*T*R (small arms transmitter receiver) is the world's first real-time hit feedback system with compelling real-time in-game statistics without requiring a central computer system.

Battlefield LIVE™ uses specialized infrared equipment – “gaming guns” -- so gamers can take their favorite missions from popular computer games and play them live.

On exhibit will be gaming guns inspired by P90s from Stargate™, M4s from Call of Duty™, Morita Sniper Rifles from Starship Troopers™.

Gamers take their skills from virtual death matches into an interactive 3d maze of doorways, corridors and bunkers.

Gamers who are addicted to the thrill of online gaming can test their talent in a physical competition.

When when a gamer hits an enemy, the shooting weapon instantly says casualty or ‘kill confirmed’ or ‘already dead.’ The enemy’s weapon issues a near-miss, wound, or dead sound effect.  

“GenCon Oz is firing up, despite the GFC, to be the entertainment show of the year and we are thrilled to be a part of it,” said Nicole Lander, Marketing C.O. for Battlefield LIVE.

The Battlefield LIVE experience combines the excitement of role-playing, team-building, and adventure, and stimulates gamers both mentally and physically.

“It is, literally, heroes made here,” said Ms Lander.

The attraction involves no mess, or risk of injury from harsh paintballs, and all ages, genders, and levels of fitness are accommodated.

“It is what all gamers strive for; to go from listening to gunfire via speakers to hearing it all around them as their pulse races,” said Ms Lander.

But this is more than an adrenaline antidote to the latest bad news about the financial crisis.

“S*A*T*R lets people abandon their everyday roles and become a Hollywood hero for a day,” said Ms Lander.

“Our system improves the gaming experience because, with our real-time hit-feedback, gamers know instantly when they have hit someone. This gives gamers a rush,” said Ms Lander.

“With S*A*T*R gamers can take their skills from virtual matches into a live game, to experience the excitement of a Hollywood blockbuster, with themselves as the leading lady/man,” said Ms Lander.

Gen Con Oz 2009 will be held September18-20 in Brisbane, at the the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre. Battlefield LIVE will be available at booth #38. For more information on Gen Con, go to www.genconoz.com. For more information about Battlefield LIVE visit www.BattlefieldLIVE.com.au
