Game: PlanetSide 2

Article from 3D World magazine, April 2013, page 32
''PlanetSide 2 is a Massively Multiplayer first person shooter that delivers truly epic, massive combat on a scale never before seen in stunning, breathtaking detail. Battles take place not between dozens of troops, but thousands; with air and ground vehicles slugging it out alongside squads of troops. Whether in open fields, tightly-packed urban centers or enormous structures, winning requires strategic teamwork and a quick trigger finger.''



Outdoor environment from PlanetSide 2




FEAR  |  DISGUST  
 JOY  |   CALM  
AWE

Some environments from the game in the above images. So I chose this article, even though I have not played this game but I liked the designs of the environment. Based on the screenshots taken from the website of the game, the environment conveys AWE and FEAR because based on the description of the game, its aim is to emphasize how big the player's combat area (section). The FEAR feeling comes from the player not knowing where its enemies lie in different areas and the AWE feeling comes from the huge scenery of the deserts and valleys in the game.
