Learn to love your gun with 'Receiver'
Summary
When David Rosen from developer Wolfire Games picked up a replica SIG Sauer P226 as part of a Fox Mulder halloween costume, he says he "had a lot of fun just playing around with the slide and ejecting and inserting the magazine. The developers spent time studying videos from weapons enthusiasts and even modelled the in-game guns and their parts based on real-world schematics. "We also incorporated feedback from a couple professional gunsmiths who provided very detailed critiques of the gun mechanics in the original build," says Rosen. Since youre fighting nothing but machines, theres no blood or guilt when you ultimately destroy them, though Wolfires decision to go with mechanical foes was made for a different reason. "With human enemies, its always kind of jarring when you cant scare them, or negotiate with them, or interact with them in any other way besides shooting them in the face," Rosen tells The Verge.
