Infinity Ward: ‘We already knew that we didn’t want to do another Modern Warfare game’ after Modern Warfare 3
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
“I feel like it’s not necessarily the game that gave us that sense [of a fresh start], it’s more of moving into a new studio. It’s a unique situation to be in for any studio because for us making Ghosts, not only are we putting our heart and soul into the game but we’re still really close friends with other developers. I think what we’re trying to do is create a game without anything else holding us back. We really just want to focus on creating an experience that’s new and fresh for us because ultimately if we don’t enjoy what we’re doing we’re not going to be there.”
“So yeah, our main focus is just making sure that we ourselves would go home and play Ghosts without thinking of anything else on the side.”
– Activision community manager Tina Palacios
The next entry in the Call of Duty franchise, Call of Duty: Ghosts, launches on November 5th, 2013 on PS3, Xbox 360, PC, and Wii U. PS4 and Xbox One versions come later.
Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games release date not confirmed
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Nintendo has informed us that Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games does not have a confirmed release date even though a recent message said otherwise.
The upcoming title was thought to be released in North America on November 8th. A few days ago, the company sent Wii U owners a notification with the date, stating fans would “be able to purchase and download this game at midnight on November 8th”.
However, Nintendo has since said that the November 8th mention was “an error.”
In a statement provided to us, the company said:
“The Nov. 8 launch date for Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games that was recently listed in a Wii U notification was an error. A confirmed launch date will be announced in the future. We apologize for any confusion.”

New Call of Duty: Ghosts map features a medieval castle
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Podcast Stories, Screenshots, Wii U | 0 comments
A brand new multiplayer map has been revealed for Call of Duty: Ghosts. Stonehaven, a new map set in a medieval castle, provides snipers with enough room to operate while also encouraging close quarters combat.
The map encompasses more than just a castle. There’s also a surrounding area with a shallow stream and a destroyed lighthouse in the background.
Stonehaven does allow for dynamic map event alternation during matches. Players are able to change the flow of the map. One example pointed out by Eurogamer allows for a gate to be closed.
Infinity Ward community manager Tina Palacios told the site:
“When we’re designing maps, we have to cater to a couple of different types of gameplay and players in their habits. We didn’t want to alienate people who love to fight in close quarters, but we needed a big map. Then we looked to Europe.”
“We always want to add a variety regardless of what the story setting may be. It’s evolved a lot over time. When we first made it we thought it would maybe be just a harbour with a bunch of ships on a sandy beach. Then it became what it is now. And we like the look much better than what we had in the past.”

PEGI has handed out a “16” rating for Call of Duty: Ghosts, despite promotional material stating otherwise.
The classification is significant for one reason in particular. Not since 2008 has a Call of Duty game – World at War – earned an equivalent rating from the BBFC. Call of Duty releases are typically tagged with an “18” rating.
