Anyone have a favorite? I’d go with Static Shock, personally!
Watch Dogs is in many ways a connected experience. You can count on a big multiplayer inclusion, but it’s the way in which the development team has seamlessly integrated other hackers into the experience that makes things all the more interesting.
Thankfully, if playing online or connecting with others isn’t your kind of thing, you won’t have to worry. Ubisoft Montreal senior producer has confirmed that Watch Dogs can be played “completely offline if you want.”
During a Reddit AMA session that took place earlier today, Insomniac founder and CEO Ted Price commented ever so briefly on the Wii U.
When asked for his thoughts about the console as well as the PlayStation 4 and Xbox 360 successor, Price said that he considers it to be “more current gen”, adding: “we’re not working on games for it.”
“Wii-U is something I’d consider more current gen – but we’re not working on games for it.”
Whether Wii U is current-gen or next-gen is something that has been debated ever since the console’s initial announcement. We’ve seen some developers believe it is next-gen to to what it offers and the fact that it is a brand new release, but others feel otherwise based on the system’s specs.
Road Redemption has met its goal on Kickstarter – and there’s still 35 hours to go.
Dark Seas Games was looking to raise $160,000 for the project. Over $166,000 has been collected up to this point.
Road Redemption is scheduled to launch on the PC in August 2014. A Wii U version should be out a few months later thanks to publisher Nicalis.
Q-Games is the developer behind Star Fox Command as well as Star Fox 64 3D. You may also know of the studio for the DSiWare games it created, including Starship Defence.
Unfortunately, we won’t be seeing any of Q-Games on the 3DS “in the immediate future”. President Dylan Cuthbert told Siliconera:
“Not at the moment because we’ve got quite a lot of projects currently on the boil, that kind of thing. We’re a bit busy, so there won’t be any 3DS in the immediate future, at least.”
Cuthbert also gave his own opinion as to what Nintendo needs to do with the Wii U in both Japan and the west:
“I think software. If they are going to win they are going to have to figure out the games. They probably need like new super IP, a special IP that makes people really interested. But they always come up with something. They are always very innovative. Even with the DS when it first came out people said that’s not very good and it’s not going to do very well, but it sold hundreds of millions and had lots of innovative titles. I think they will find something that will sell a lot. Who would have known Wii Fit would have sold like 15 million units?”
Next week, Cyber Gadget will release a new accessory for the 3DS XL in Japan.
System owners can pick up a selection of Circle Pad covers coming in three color variations (black, blue, pink), and six surface types. Each package also comes with a strap holder.
Cyber Gadget’s Circle Pad covers will be available on May 14. Pricing will vary by retailer.
The multiplayer in Ubisoft’s upcoming game Watch Dogs will have elements of a game mechanic called “player invasion”, which means that players that aren’t explicitly in your game can come in and modify certain parameters or change small environmental obstacles seemingly without you ever seeing them. It’s something implemented into the game Dark Souls, but we’re unsure if Watch Dogs‘ version of the idea will be more in line with that adventure or if it will be something completely different.
On top of that, the game’s producer outlined the concept behind a smartphone app that will be coming out alongside the game this fall. If you’ve seen gameplay footage of Watch Dogs, you’ll know that the main character uses his smartphone to hack into city systems, ATMs, and much more. The smartphone app will allow players to “hack” into multiplayer games of Watch Dogs on the fly, presumably to modify in-game parameters similar to what you might do in the single player experience. I think that’s pretty dang awesome!
Want to get free Resident Evil: Revelations HD-related merchandise? Head over to London where Capcom has opened up what they’re calling the first ever blood-filled swimming pool. Of course, it isn’t actually filled with blood: It’s just a lot of water, a lot of red colouring, and floaties shapes like bodies and human entrails and things. You know, normal stuff.
Here’s the run-down:
– Open May 25th and 26th
– In Jupiter Wharf, London E3 2PL
– Ages 16 and older, with under 18 needed adult accompaniment
– Only 100 people allowed in each day, free tickets online
– Free prizes at the bottom of the pool for those “brave enough” to go down there
– PR statement: “Capcom are thrilled to able to create the world’s first blood swimming pool. Zombies have been kept very busy lately doing a variety of PR stunts, so rather than do the expected, we wanted to give them some time off for canal side relaxation in London. To non-zombies, the swimming pool will be shocking, gory and an incredibly disturbing experience – the perfect way to show that survival horror is back with a bang for Resident Evil Revelations”
We still don’t know too much about the situation, but various outlets have been reporting that Eternal Darkness and Too Human developer Silicon Knights has closed its office and sold off their assets to other companies. This comes in light of the fact that their most famous property– Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem— is getting a spiritual successor developed by Precursor Games called “Shadow of the Eternals“, and amidst the word that Precursor had actually purchased various assets from Silicon Knights in order to work on it.
There were still rumblings yesterday from the few Silicon Knights employees left who said the company is “very much alive”, but as time chugs forward it’s starting to look like that may not be the case.
