Today's News:
1) Sony announced they have zero first party games being developed or planned for the PS Vita and once again implied its all up to 3rd Party and Indie studios to provide games for the device. http://www.destructoid.com/sony-curr...--317122.phtml 2) Some Legend of Zelda series news includes Nintendo teasing there will be a twist to how the open world aspect works in Zelda Wii U. Tri Force Heroes was stated to be a sequel to Link Between Worlds in terms of overall timeline. http://www.destructoid.com/nintendo-...a-317172.phtml http://www.destructoid.com/zelda-tri...s-317103.phtml 3) In an effort to make Xbox One sales look better in reports and in comparisons with the PS4, Microsoft announced future reports will have less emphasis on the actual number of consoles sold/shipped and instead more towards on the number of Xbox Live users. The new policy will also affect Windows 10 gaming since that data will be merged with Xbox One data for a general Xbox brand sales report. http://www.destructoid.com/microsoft...s-317108.phtml 4) For those interested in the Xbox 360 version of Black Ops 3, Treyarch announced there will not be a Season Pass available nor will some of the planned DLC also arrive for it. Wasn't clarified at the time but its also likely the PS3 version could be missing out on extra content as well. http://www.videogamer.com/xbox360/ca..._xbox_360.html 5) SALES:

Heh heh heh. Guess our friends in the U.K. weren't fond of London being the setting for Assassins' Creed this time around?

WWI could be very cool.
That's what Assassin's Creed needs, is time periods that can drastically affect gameplay the way Black Flag did. Unity felt like a step back, and Syndicate doesn't look any different tbh. |

Technically wouldn't Pokemon Shuffle be their first mobile game? I don't know if that's considered "Nintendo's" though

Somewhat since technically it is on mobile devices but wasn't a brand new game which is what I think Nintendo meant by the first status. Also different developer since DeNA had no role with its development.
Shuffle came out first for the 3DS and then ported to mobile devices while the DeNA games are going to be either exclusive to mobile devices and/or be released for them first. |

Makes sense. Their share price took a hit announcing 5.5 million subscribers, which is only a tiny loss and goddamn fucking miraculous that an MMO that old still has that many people paying every month. Think Final Fantasy XIV is the second place MMO now and that has about 1.5.

The tree's have less foliage because the dynamic weather in the game on the 360 version generated a wind storm that actually blew the majority of said foliage away.

This is hilarious. We know the 360 can do better than that. They didn't want a Titanfall/CoD AW situation where the games ran barely different across console generations.
