With New York Fashion Week in full swing through Sept. 16, designers, consumers and media around the world have turned their eyes to the Big Apple to view the latest fashions hitting the runway. Quite unexpectedly, one item is emerging as the season’s most sought-after accessory: the classic stovepipe hat. Industry watchers are crediting this unique trend to Professor Layton, star of the new Professor Layton and the Unwound Future™ game for the Nintendo DS™ family of systems. Fans of the acclaimed hand-held game series already recognize the professor’s signature stovepipe hat as an emblem of scholarly chic and puzzle-solving fun. Since the third installment of the Professor Layton series launched across North America on Sept. 12 – right in the middle of New York’s fall fashion maelstrom – the stovepipe hat has seen a mighty surge in popularity, appearing everywhere from crowds to catwalks.
Although his status as a fashion trendsetter is just now hitting its peak, Professor Layton is recognized far and wide for his superior puzzle-solving skills. And no matter what they’re wearing, audiences are sure to enjoy the new puzzles in Professor Layton and the Unwound Future. Players must help to unravel a new mystery by solving a series of mind-bending riddles and challenging puzzles. When the professor and his apprentice, Luke, receive an ominous letter sent from 10 years in the future, they must travel through time to prevent the city of London from falling into chaos. Players will encounter more than 165 entertaining puzzles as they wind their way through the game’s captivating storyline.

This information come from Wii producer Graham Hagmaier…
“One of the big keys [for developer Eurocom] in regard to game design is player choice. [The game] has multiple routes through areas, so you can take the stealthier route and kind of use close-quarter combat — such as takedowns. Or you can go in guns-a-blazing — American style, as I like to call it — and just firefight and take out enemies.”
“[Activision] thinks that Classic Controller Pro is a great new controller, and [Activision] is doing a Collector’s Edition with the gold controller. As such, the Classic Controller Pro is just one of those things it has been pushing to get people comfortable with that control scheme.”
“The smartphone can do multiple functions: it can hack computers, hack locks, and it also can do facial scanning. So you can use it in a crowd to find an objective… It also can be a communication device, obviously a phone, and you can hold the Wii Remote up to your ear to answer it.”
“[Developer Eurocom] has some new levels in there like Station and Nightclub, and then there are classics like Archive and Facility. [Eurocom] has a mix-and-match of both [old and new multiplayer maps]. With offline [multiplayer], you are going to have modifiers and different game modes, like Golden Gun, Team Conflict and Conflict. There are then 17 different modifiers — like Invisibility, Tag Mode, and Paintball — and then 50 different characters to choose from. Overall, you can really customize your gameplay, with more than 200 different types of gameplay. [Online and split-screen] are basically two different flavors of multiplayer, so you have a reason to play both. With online, it is up to 8 players and you are playing different modes, like Black Box and others. You can also play with four different factions. You have Zukovsky’s henchmen (basically, Russian mobsters); you have the Russian Army faction (Gen. Ourumov and Xenia Onatopp); you got Janus organization (like Alec Trevelyan); and then you finally have MI6 (heroes). So you play as one of the four different factions and then rank up similar to a more modern [gaming] approach, like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Thus, you can do different weapons and perks, as well as exclusive online content.”
“… [the producer] thinks [developer Eurocom’s] cap level is 56, so it is pretty high.”
“You have substations of little satellites that are all around the level, and you have to go and capture them. If you capture all of the substations, the GoldenEye beam fires on the enemy’s headquarters and takes it out.”
DS details
– Snow level: Use stealth to take down enemies
– Can blow up a snowmobile which will eliminate enemies gathering around the vehicle
– Choose between stylus or button controls
– Aim assist for button controls
– Over 70 awards online
– Mod system
This information comes from Ted Newman, creative director at n-Space…
“[GoldenEye 007 DS] is basically a companion title, so it follows the same story points and same plot beats as the Wii version. All of the levels, though, are built from scratch with the DS in mind — the gameplay, the weapon choices. There are going to be some similarities [to the Wii version], but [GoldenEye 007 DS] has its own entity.”
“I personally am such a fan of the stylus that I wasn’t sure how I would feel about [button controls]. But you really can do a good job [with buttons], just running through the levels and playing as you would with the stylus.”
“Basically, whenever you beat a single-player level, it opens up a time trial. Thus, you go back to try to beat a level in a certain time to gain experience, which you then use to spend on different cheats.”
“For example, [one modification] has all the players moving constantly and not able to stop. Another modification] has a bonus [for the player], like you’ll gain armor when you kill an enemy. These modifications really change up the modes that we have and just add that much more replay to the multiplayer experience.”
“I really do feel like this is what a James Bond game should be — it’s the right mix of action; it’s the right mix of stealth. The mantra [the development team] kept using throughout the project was that [the game] is the thinking man’s first-person shooter.”
