ONM’s latest issue has started to reach subscribers, but it’s the magazine’s next edition that is receiving greater attention.

For its February issue, ONM teases:

“Are you scared? You should be… World Exclusive! The first look at a stunning new game.”

The teaser page additionally contains art depicting pipework and engineering. Some are now speculating that Resident Evil is on the way to Wii U.

Convieniently enough, achievements leaked out last night for a title called Resident Evil Revelations Unveiled Edition. Perhaps Capcom will be bringing this new version to Wii U.

Thanks to Nom for the tip.

THQ will be auctioning off its assets in just a few days. When the time comes, Double Fine could join in on the bidding.

Distressed Debt Investing wrote on Twitter that “Double Fine has requested the bankruptcy filings in the THQ case”. Now, Double Fine probably won’t be going after IPs such as Darksiders, but perhaps the company could be interested in smaller franchises such as Costume Quest. Double Fine teamed up with THQ for the title back in 2010.

Aliens: Colonial Marines developer Gearbox Software received an offer to make a Call of Duty title. The studio decided against going through with it, however.

Pitchford said that making a Call of Duty “wouldn’t move us forward”, nor would there be a “significant challenge that would be gratifying to overcome.”

A translated portion of Pitchford’s German KGN interview reads:

“I don’t think there’s anything to accomplish there. I think if I was only in it for the money I would’ve done that.[…] I think to do ‘Call of Duty’ right you need to do what needs to be done and there are a lot of people who can do that. For us it wouldn’t add to our credibility, it wouldn’t move us forward. There would be no significant challenge that would be gratifying to overcome.”

Activision’s Skylanders franchise has raked in over $500 million in US retail sales, including accessory packs and figures. The milestone was reached faster than any other kids’ gaming property. More than $195 million was collected through Skylanders Giants sales.

Skylanders Giants and Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure figures outsold some of the top action figure lines in the toy category in the US such as Beyblades, WWE, and Star Wars. Last year, Skylanders Giants surpassed domestic box office sales for top holiday kids movies including “Wreck-It Ralph” and “Rise of the Guardians”.

We’ve never seen a true, mainline 3D Pokemon game on a Nintendo console. Maybe we never will.

And that’s where environment artist Evan Liaw comes in. Liaw, who previously worked on Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad, has recreated one area from the series in a modern-looking 3D world. Liaw made a number of Pokemon Center images, all of which are rendered in UDK.

Photos of his efforts can be found in the gallery above.

The Conduit was once hyped as a hardcore, exclusive first-person shooter for Wii. More than three years following its release, it looks like the title will now be heading to a new platform.

At CES 2013, The Conduit popped up on the Android-featured Nvidia TegraZone store. NVidia reps have, on the record, confirmed that The Conduit will be compatible with the new Project Shield handheld. While High Voltage Software is indeed developing the title, other details are unknown.
