Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Hackers are starting to get involved with Mario Kart 8, but not necessarily in a negative way. Fans are now looking to create custom tracks in the game. In the video above, you’ll get a very early look at the “Incendia Castle” track.

Thanks to Vinicius P for the tip.

PlatinumGames has posted a new Bayonetta 2 blog post covering scenario writing. Hideki Kamiya himself wrote the piece.

First, check out a few excerpts below:

At long last, the release date is right around the corner! It’s been a long road getting here, filled with bumps, twists, and turns. There was even a time when we almost lost hope of releasing the game altogether. It makes me happy that we can bring you Bayonetta 2, and I would like to extend my personal thanks to Nintendo for stepping in and making this game a reality.

But before we get into that, I’m sure many of you are a bit confused about what a game supervisor does. It is quite an important-sounding title, but to put it simply, they supervise the project from a position one-step removed from development. At PlatinumGames, the person who has the final say on what goes into a game, and who is ultimately responsible for how it turns out, is the director. I believe that every game should be infused with the unique color of its director. Because of this, my involvement in Bayonetta 2 consisted of regular meetings with Director Hashimoto where I only provided advice when necessary. The one exception perhaps, was Jeanne; when it came to her character, I butt in with my comments at every opportunity.

Planning for the Bayonetta 2 scenario began during a discussion with Hashimoto. It was almost like a casual chat, where we went back and forth saying “what if this happened?” and “what about this character?”, deciding the overarching story and overall structure of the stages. Once the rough outline was in place, we brought Bingo into the discussion and had him fill in the details. Next, we had Bingo turn this outline into a game scenario. This became the first draft of the scenario: a detailed plan for each stage explaining when each cut scene would play, how each character would make their appearance, and the way each story beat would unfold. From here, I worked on the flow of the characters’ dialog and added scenes to bring out that unique Bayonetta flavor. At this point it was basically the text equivalent of a storyboard; everything was in place. Since the first draft was well structured, I was able to concentrate on bringing out the personality of the characters and fleshing out the world without having to worry about the story / action balance. At the end of this process, we completed the final draft of the scenario.

And be sure to read the full blog post here with lots of information.

Pre-orders for Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire recently opened in Japan. Believe it or not, fans have been showing up in drones to get their reservations in. Director Junichi Masuda and gamers across different cities have been tweeting photos showing the pre-order mania.
