Wii U

You could say that Namco Bandai and Disney have fostered a close relationship. Namco Bandai developed and published Disney Magic Castle: My Happy Life in Japan just a few weeks ago, and it has now been revealed that the company will be bringing over Disney Infinity as well. Interestingly, only the Wii U and 3DS versions will be localized.

The single player trailer for Call of Duty: Ghosts that was revealed yesterday showcased a bit of the story that we didn’t know about previously: Something called ‘Rods of God’ would be used as the stage for the apocalyptic events in the game. ‘Rods of God’ are effectively just giant cylinders dropped from low-earth-orbit that smack into the ground and cause mass devastation– and Activision community manager Dan Amrich says it’s not terribly fictional:


“Telephone poles from space? It’s actually more science than science fiction. The concept of kinetic bombardment – nicknamed in the science and defense communities as “Rods from God” – has been used in sci-fi stories for years by authors including Robert Heinlein, Larry Niven, and Neal Stephenson, but it’s also been seriously considered by the United States Air Force as a military strike that could create mass devastation without nuclear fallout.”

“Say what you will about its over-the-top gameplay and action-movie attitude, but Call of Duty still plays in the realm of plausibility.”

Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag is using a new multiplayer engine. Game design head Tim Browne confirmed the news to Examiner, and noted that the technology was adapted to work on all consoles. This will be the first multiplayer engine change since Brotherhood.

Browne said:

“We’ve had the same engine since Brotherhood, and for this year we integrated a new engine that works on current gen and next-gen consoles. Then we did upscaled, specific development for next-gen, so the character models are four times higher textures and polygons than the normal ones. There are very specific next-gen features which we’re catering for as well, which you won’t have on current gen. Not just graphical improvements, but certain other things.”
