LinkedIn listing suggests next Batman: Arkham game is Unreal Engine 3-based
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Daniel Wang, a staffer over at Virtuos, has listed “Batman Arkham 3” on his LinkedIn profile as an Unreal Engine 3 project. Virtuos has worked in numerous console and handheld games in the past, including Batman: Arkham City.
The Unreal Engine 3 mention on Wang’s CV may give some insight when it comes to planned platforms for the next Batman. Since it apparently won’t be built on Unreal Engine 3, it looks like the game will be heading to current-gen systems, though next-gen releases aren’t necessarily out of the question.

The latest issue of Germany’s Retro Gamer has revealed that a new Turrican game is in development titled “Turrican Rebirth”. Like its predecessors, Rebirth will feature 2D gameplay, and functionality is in the works so that weapons and stages can be shared with others online.
Platforms are unknown, and Turrican Rebirth is just starting out, so we probably won’t be seeing this one for awhile. Interestingly, Retro Gamer indicates that the project’s right holders have been in touch with Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams maker Black Forest Games.

Will Turnbow, a dedicated Zelda fan, and his wife made an absolutely amazing animated Skyward Sword cake for their daughter’s tenth birthday. The cake features Skyloft, the Sealed Grounds, the Faron Woods, as well as other elements from the Wii title.
“The Temple entrance is 6 batches of Rice Krispies and the backside of the temple is 9 cakes stacked as high as we could make it. The small tower on either side are styrofoam wrapped with fondant. My wife made and painted all of the characters out of clay except for Link (I was able to use my Figma Link).”
