SECTION 1: ENGLISH WRITING SKILLS


1. Question: Please write in your own words what you would change in the last game you played and why, also mention the name of the game. Please write this in English (200 words minimum). Answer:
The last game i played is FIFA 13 and all i can say is that it is a really good game that can entertain you and your friends. The game play feels very good,my favourite mode being Career Manager as it allows me to coordinate the progression of the team and its staff. I like it because its the most challanging mode of the game in my opinion as you have to be carefull at every decision you make because it can have bad concequances. As for what i would change i think that the level of control of the player over the game should be a little bigger. For example a good ideea would be to allow the player to create its own game plans, telling each player whats to do in different situations ( attack / defending / free kicks etc. ). I think this is just one of the many things that could be added to the game to make it even a better simulator and increase the game experience. Another think that comes to my mind would be to implement a track keeping option for all the important players in the game. For example : Carlos Tevez History : started his career for Club X, played for Clubs a,b,c and so on.

SECTION 2: TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE QUESTIONS


1. On what platform do you play on a constant basis? Answer: I am open to work on every platform, depending on what is required on the project that I will be assigned.

3. Mention at least five games you have played in the last 6 months Answer: FIFA 13, Euro Track Simulator, Medal of Honor Allied Assault, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 1 and 2, Need for Speed Underground 1 and 2, Juiced 1 and 2, Sniper Elite 1, Battlefield 3.

4. Did you participate in any Beta Testing events?(yes/no) If yes, for what titles? Give as many details as possible. Answer: No.

5. Considering your previous gaming experience, did you find any defects while playing? If yes, mention al least 3 examples. Answer: Yes I did. In Modern Warfare 2 I tried to throw a grenade in a door to bounce inside a house and eliminate the enemy that was in there but the grenade got stuck in the doors texture and it kept floating in there without blowing up. In FIFA 13 I noticed for several times that the ball was bouncing in a most unnatural way from the players. In Battlefield 3 I saw a glass that even in the player shot it there would be no decal left on it.

6. Please take a minute and analyze the picture shown below:

Do you notice any issues in the screenshot? Please identify and describe the issue(s) you observe (at least 100 words): Answer : The first thing to notice here is the corrupted texture that appears in the middle of the screen, the player being able to see through the rock formation. Also the position of the soldiers hand is unnatural looking like the arms is broken. The shadow of the electricity pole is not displayed correctly. In the upper right corner it can be observed that the damage indicator (the blood on the edge of the screen) is overlapping the players HUD. There is a shadow on the building far in the back of the screen that has no point of origin, no object to make it.

Scenario 1: You have just purchased the latest instalment of your favourite first person shooter on the PC.
