Remember that Zelda game we know and love? Oh, right, there are about a dozen of those. Well, I'm specifically referring to The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Well, it would appear that the recently-announced Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, which takes place on the high seas surrounded by pirates, may have drawn a bit of inspiration from the now-decade-old classic.In an interview with Stephen Tolito of Kotaku, two of the game's leading development roles explained that many developers on their team were inspired by Link's adventure in a flooded Hyrule, but it would appear that they themselves need to bone up on one of the most well-received titles in gaming history.

EA: Wii U is Not a Next-Gen Console, but Don’t Count Nintendo Out
January 30 2013 by Colin McIsaac
While on an investor phone call, a representative from EA blatantly said that the Wii U is not a next-generation console. Keep in mind that this doesn’t mean EA thinks poorly of Nintendo—this is the company that, in 2011, came on stage by Reggie’s side and provided loads of content and positivity for Nintendo’s new console. The representative from EA also said not to “count Nintendo out” of the console race, so his view is far from a negative one.Investor question: I know Nintendo came out today and was a little bit more cautious with their outlook for Wii U sales, doesn’t sound like this is a platform you guys are really pursuing aggressively on. What does this really say about the consumers’ willingness to adopt the next-gen consoles — we should have something new from Sony and Microsoft, so what does that say with Nintendo going through the early struggles on the Wii U?

Rockstar Wants to Make a Sci-Fi Grand Theft Auto
January 29 2013 by Colin McIsaac
Grand Theft Auto has always been the strongest-selling game from Rockstar Games. Since its first release in 1997, the billion dollar franchise has spanned various different locales and time periods, but never before has a Grand Theft Auto game been set in the future. That may change some time soon, if Rockstar’s Vice President of Creativity Dan Houser is to be believed. “We will do it the very second we have an idea,” Houser says, though he warns that we won’t be seeing a future-set Grand Theft Auto just because they can make it—they first need cause. Head past the jump to read what Houser has to say about future-based Grand Theft Auto. -
Big Sonic Announcement Coming February 2nd
January 29 2013 by Colin McIsaac
Last week, there were rumors flying around that Sega was preparing to announce a new Sonic game for all modern consoles on February 2nd. While most of the world celebrates groundhog day every year, Sonic fans celebrate February 2nd as Hedgehog Day, where Sega traditionally announces their next big Sonic project. Today, The Sonic Team has confirmed that a small group of their developers will be appearing on an online TV show called Puyo-Puyo on this year’s Hedgehog Day. We can only assume their guest appearance will lead to a big announcement. If you’d like to watch the stream when it goes live, you can get yourself set up here.What kind of announcement are you hoping for? The rumors from last week made it sound like a new game in the style of Sonic Adventure. Are you still waiting for Sonic Adventure 3? Or would you prefer a new game in the style of Sonic Colors?

Rumor: Orbis Unveiled - Specs Leaked, GPU Info
January 28 2013 by George Moujaes
A week ago, VGLeaks posted an article on Durango’s specs, supposedly meant to beat the Wii U down the road in pure horsepower and graphical goodness. This week, they want to bring you the much anticipated (but only rumored) specs for Sony’s alternative for the next-gen, the Orbis. These specs are taken right from the source so as to leave no confusion. The report clearly also states that these specs will be subject to change by Sony.So they are useful in off-the-bat comparisons with other consoles, and useful in discussing where, generally speaking, the next-gen’s advancements are at throughout the industry. But they are not definitive whatsoever. The full list comes up after the jump.

Kid Icarus Uprising, ZombiU Nominated for GDC Awards
January 27 2013 by Elijah Holt
The GDC Choice Awards are coming up next month in San Francisco, and we now know the nominated games. Among other nominations, Nintendo-exclusive games Kid Icarus: Uprising and ZombiU have been nominated for Best Handheld/Mobile Game and the Innovation Award, respectively.Personally, I feel like winning a GDC Award would be a true honor; these awards aren’t voted on by the public. They aren’t decided by some big agency, website, or polling company. These awards are decided by developers, for developers. I think that winning an award from your peers would be leagues ahead of winning a VGA; it may even rank up there with winning a ZI award.
Congrats to Nintendo, Sora, and Ubisoft on the nominations, and I wish them luck in the voting!

Help Support the HD TimeSplitter Collection Movement - Includes Wii U Release!
January 24 2013 by Nathanial Rumphol-Janc
The TimeSplitters game released back on the Nintendo GameCube is near and dear to my heart, but these days Crytek has shown little interest in continue the once successful franchise. While naturally we all want to see a new game, many fans are clamoring for the old games to be rereleased in a HD collection pack and released on all the relevant consoles. Those consoles include the Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii U. Ultimately in the end we hope the interest shown in getting this series rolling back with rereleases is to ultimately get Crytek interested in making TimeSplitters 4.There are two big ways you can help make this a reality without investing anything but a few minutes of your life. First and foremost, you can sign the petition which is now at 73,000+ signatures out of the 300,000 goal. You can also join the 100,000 Strong for TimeSplitters 4 Facebook page, which will keep you in the loop on all the developments in regards to the movement itself. This is a movement that truly hits close to home as this series was one of the most original multiplayer FPS titles I have ever experienced. To get the entire series in HD on the Wii U would be fantastic, let alone a convincing nod for the series to make a triumphant return. Honestly, the series may be better than Crysis, Crytek’s baby. (shh, don’t tell them I said that!) Either way, what do you have to lose? Support the cause and get more quality content on our preferred home consoles. Why not?

Platinum: “Darksiders is Unsold? We Wanna Buy It”
January 24 2013 by Nathanial Rumphol-Janc
We haven’t had the chance yet to talk about the sales of THQ’s assets and franchises that occurred yesterday, but one of the sadder stories to come out of the whole mess is not a single studio made a bid for Vigil games. Vigil is a newer studio for THQ, but they are also the ones responsible for the fantastic Darksiders series. It was rather surprising not a single bid was made, since even a really tiny bid could have taken the whole studio. Of course, Darksiders itself probably isn’t bound by the studio, so theoretically you could just purchase the franchise itself.Platinum Games, which includes the team that’s bringing the Wii U The Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta 2 are pretty interested in adding Darksiders to their roster if they can get it cheap (Platinum doesn’t necessarily have a lot of money. They can’t even publish their own games financially). It’s understandable why they might not have been involved in the bidding with the big boys yesterday consider this fact, but in the aftermath Platinum may be sending or communicating with the lawyers involved in all of this suggesting a small bid price for Vigil or simply just Darksiders itself if no one else is laying claim.
The best news in this is that it could prevent the death of a new, more mature, Zelda esque series. It also means that Nintendo and Platinum could potentially work out even more contracts and such to get Darksiders to be Wii U exclusive, which would certainly help bolster reasons for folks to get the console. Still, everything right now is just public talk, and we don’t know if Platinum has made any serious efforts to get their relatively tiny offer in to nab a series that will die out entirely otherwise.
