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:

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.”

Ever since the reveal of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, it’s been known that the remake came about while Nintendo was experimenting with different art styles for the series’ next original entry on Wii U. As it turns out, Wind Waker wasn’t the only title the company tinkered around with. Eiji Aonuma confirmed to Polygon that Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword were also tested in HD.

So what does this mean for the possibility of these two games also receiving Wii U remakes? Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma isn’t ruling anything out, but having just wrapped up Wind Waker HD and now fully turning his attention to Zelda Wii U, there likely won’t be any additional HD releases in the near future. Aonuma wouldn’t necessarily rule anything out for the future though, telling Polygon:

“I can’t say that the possibility is zero that those will be made into HD, but right now I need to work on the next installation in the series so I don’t have the bandwidth to do that right now. But maybe it will happen if someone else does it.”

Here’s a question: would you like to see Twilight Princess and/or Skyward Sword in HD? If you had to choose one or the other, which would you pick?
