It’s amazing that you could literally develop the game on
the fly like that.
During those events, players tried the XField Paintball
game with Virtual Reality tools such as the Oculus Rift and
the Delta 6 marker. This was a thumbs up as well.
If you remember I was one of those that tried the Virtual
Reality version. It was incredible!
Yes! All those events have been very entertaining and
you can have a small taste of them watching the video we
posted on our Youtube channel. Check out NXL President
Tom Cole in the helicopter from the World Cup.
Philippe, please tell us about how and where XField 3
will be played.
XField Paintball 3 will be cross-platform including consoles.
At its launch the game will be available on Steam and
played on PC as requested by so many of the well over
five million players of our first versions. Players will find all
of the official layouts of NXL, Millennium, PALS and SARPL
in the game before the competitions take place. It was

wonderful to see players last year when they realized they
were playing on the same layout they were playing for real
life paintball.
What are some of the standout qualities of XField 3?
The game is quite immersive. It brings quite a lot of real
life paintball into the gameplay, such as parabolic shooting
with complex algorithms cloning the gravity effect and
allowing to bounce or shoot behind an obstacle… a totally
new gameplay for FPS players.
The game among other things, offers the opportunity
to create your team and your own field. The game will
combine competition layouts and scenario maps and
players will be able to create one of their own whichever
kind they prefer. But by far the most well-kept secret of
XField Paintball is the considerable time spent by our
development team to create a state of the art multiplayer
3D engine dedicated to paintball.
Despite some good efforts made by XField Paintball and
others to take paintball into the video game industry, we
still have a long way to go. The way we see it, in many ways
