PlatinumGames – Bayonetta 2 Lighting blog
Posted on 10 years ago by Jarop(@gamrah) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
The PlatinumGames blog has once again been updated, this time by background artist Shohei Kameoka. Kameoka breaks down and details one of the backgrounds that will appear in game and outlines just how many layers are involved with that process, here’s an excerpt:
One of my duties for Bayonetta 2 was to take care of all the lighting, water, air, and other indefinite objects in the world environments. Out of all those I spent the most time on lighting, so I thought I’d share a little on what kind of work I did.
In Bayonetta 2, many of the environments have a water theme, so I really wanted to make water in the game look beautiful. I tried to come up with some key concepts for water and worked off of the following: transparent, shining, clean, cool, something you would want to feel, something you would want to dive into. Then I thought about how I could use those words to choose the right lighting for water.
For the full blog post including work in progress pictures of the background in question, head on ever to the site here

Hyrule Warriors won’t have online co-op
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 31 Comments
According to the official Hyrule Warriors Twitter account, the game will not offer online co-op. Players will only be able to experience co-op play locally.
What this means for online play is currently unclear. The thought was that Hyrule Warriors will offer Internet functionality of some kind, but co-op is definitely ruled out now. I suppose we’ll see very soon!

An official Japanese page for Hyrule Warriors shares a bit more about the Wii U game.
First, as many had anticipated, online play is now officially confirmed. The wording on the page suggests that a unique mode is being prepared for those who intend to play over the Internet.
Aside from a brief mention of online support, Nintendo also confirms the automatic posting of your play status to Miiverse and the ability to purchase DLC (this was a given based on the costumes we’ve heard about).
Lastly, Hyrule Warriors supports 1 save file per user. Oh, and the game’s file size weighs in at 7.8GB.

Capcom sales are down due to lack of “major titles”
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 6 Comments
Capcom sales are down for the quarter ending June 30, 2014. In its financial report published today, the company noted that net sales dipped to 9.57 billion yen ($93 million, £55.1 million). That’s a decrease of 45.1 percent from the previous year.
Net income also dropped from 828 million yen ($8 million, £4.7 million) the previous year to 765 million yen ($7.4 million, £4.4 million).
Why the downturn? Capcom believes the decrease in sales can be attributed to “a lack of new major titles.”
Fortunately, today’s news isn’t entirely disappointing for Capcom. Operating income actually rose by 75.3 percent year-over-year for an increase of 1.26 billion yen ($12.2 million, £7.2 million). Monster Hunter Frontier GG also “performed steadily with major update.”
Capcom says the company is “on track to achieve full-year forecasts with improving profitability” with a desire to improve earnings by “reducing the cost of sales.”
Hyrule Warriors is a 7.8GB download
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 1 Comment
Like most Wii U games, Hyrule Warriors will be available both at retail and on the eShop. If you opt for the latter option, keep in mind that the title is a 7.8GB download.
Hyrule Warriors is a pretty big game. However, it’s not quite as large as some of the other Wii U titles out there such as Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze.
