Harmonix isn’t done with Rock Band. CEO Alex Rigopulos told VentureBeat that the company will revisit the IP “at the right point in time”. When it returns, Harmonix will “reimagine it as appropriate for its time.”
Rigopulos said:
“…I’ll also say that we don’t view Rock Band as something that’s being left behind. It’s something we’ll return to at the right point in time and reimagine it as appropriate for its time.”
Rock Band 3 was the last “major” Rock Band game. That came out in 2010. It was followed up by the digital Rock Band Blitz spinoff.
Watch_Dogs is gearing up for a big showing next week. It will no doubt be one of the highlights at Ubisoft’s E3 2013 press conference.
The open-world game already made its debut at last year’s expo and has appeared at events since then, but that hasn’t stopped the team from being slightly apprehensive when it comes to Watch_Dogs’ next unveiling.
Senior producer Dominic Guay told MCV that the developers are still in the nervous mindset since the public’s reaction can’t be determined beforehand. The staffers at Ubisoft also “have many more aspects of Watch Dogs to present, many core features that have yet to be demonstrated.”
“Everyone in the team is aware of the rare opportunity we have with Watch Dogs and wants to make sure that we deliver on the game’s promises. As we are approaching the last months of our production, E3 is overlapping many other on-going priorities. Last year, we were nervous to show our creation to the world, which is a normal reaction to unveiling something that has been in the works for many years. You never know what the reaction will be. Well, I would say we are still in that mind-set. We have many more aspects of Watch Dogs to present, many core features that have yet to be demonstrated. We take nothing for granted and push as hard as we can.”
Make a date with the famous brothers in a new adventure – from the mysterious Pi’illo Island to the deepest recesses of Luigi’s dreams!
4th June 2013 – With great success in countless quests down the years, it’s as if the powerful pairing of Mario and Luigi can defeat enemies in their sleep. In Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros., released on 12th July for the Nintendo 3DS family of consoles, the brothers put such a theory to the test in a new adventure set on both an island near the realm of the Mushroom Kingdom, and within the depths of Luigi’s own dreams!
In this fourth instalment of the popular RPG series Mario & Luigi, the story opens with Princess Peach and her staff, plus brothers Mario and Luigi in tow, being invited for a sightseeing trip to the mysterious Pi’illo Island by its equally mysterious proprietor, Dr Snoozemore. But after an initially hospitable welcoming to the island – albeit with Dr Snoozemore noticeably absent – things take a turn for the worse when Princess Peach is kidnapped and pulled into a Dream World by a new enemy in the series, the ghostly bat king Antasma.
PES 2014 doesn’t appear to be heading to Wii U. But perhaps even more surprisingly, it’s not planned for the 3DS as well.
The 3DS received three PES releases in the past. You might be wondering then: why did Konami cease its support of the handheld?
While we don’t have an entirely definitive answer, PES European community manager Adam Bhatti said on Twitter that PES 2013 didn’t sell. He said: “No one bought it.”
