Marvel announcement incoming, media invite reveals.
Polygon states that Disney will use the event to announce a collaboration with Marvel Entertainment on a Disney Infinity project, but isn't sure whether the partnership will be linked to a new title or an add-on for the existing product.
Marvel first teased its involvement with Disney Infinity last week, dropping hints at an incoming sequel.
But with this year's Disney Infinity expected to introduce Marvel characters, it may be left to a future Disney Infinity title to introduce the Star Wars universe. In a message posted by the Disney Store over the weekend, Disney...
Multiple job ads for the developer were posted online last month, each specifically mentioning "experience on new console platforms and PC" as desirable skills.
The project also appears to be linked to a new racing franchise after community manager Ben Walke stated last week that Codemasters is "firmly focused on our racing titles at the moment", and that it has "no current plans for an FPS".
There's a further job ad, too, this time seeking an employee to work on an "exciting new IP for mobile and tablet platforms", although it isn't clear whether this is related to a...
"A seriously good looking chess game," says Birmingham-based developer VooFoo Studios.
The chess simulation promises to make great use of the PS4's power, improving the visuals from top to bottom compared to the PS3 version. The game runs in 1080p at 60 frames per second, and also boasts double the texture sizes, extra layers of post-processing, contact shadows, and depth-of-field for greater realism.
Behind the scenes the custom networking system is said to have been improved to enable a "much slicker online experience".
Those really into chess can also opt for the Complete Bundle which includes all DLC for £9.99. Look out for discounts for PS Plus...
Disney Store suggests Star Wars universe could be off the cards for Disney Infinity 2.0.
Disney Store made the comments on its Facebook page in response to questions brought on by an image of a Darth Vader figurine (pictured above), which stands on a base similar to that of existing Disney Infinity toys.
"Whilst there are no plans for Star Wars to join Disney Infinity at this moment in time... please do continue to check back for more exciting updates to our Star Wars collection", wrote the store.
An earlier rumour from the Wall Street Journal suggested that characters from both the Marvel and Star Wars universes would be featured in a future version of...
Gearbox is spending "an irresponsible amount" on the collector's item.
Gearbox's Steve Gibson commented that the developer is spending "an irresponsible amount" on the model ship.
According to a Collector's Edition Survey posted by Gearbox which allowed fans to vote for the Mothership replica they wanted, the chosen model's specs are:
12", hand decorated, molded ABS resin Mothership with LED lights. Includes stand and USB/AC power cable.
The CE which includes the 12" replica will carry a $100 price tag.
The new remastered versions have been modernised with the latest advances in graphics technology, including...
Conquest of the Skies to offer full 360 degree experience of Borneo.
The programme, titled 'Conquest of the Skies', is currently being filmed by Atlantic Productions and is said to immerse viewers in a full 360 degree view of Borneo.
"We're now filming for the Oculus Rift," Atlantic's commercial director John Morris told realscreen, "so when we filmed our recent flight in Borneo, we filmed with an eight-camera rig, so you got the full 360° experience."
Morris likens the new technology "to the beginning of the film industry" and says that he expects to see "millions" of Rift's to sell.
A new science-fiction-themed entry in the Civ series.
Understandably, a Firaxis game set in space conjures up thoughts of an Alpha Centauri sequel - which it's not - but gameplay designer Anton Strenger says that the game is "definitely inspired by Alpha Centauri, but this is a different game and it's meant to stand on its own".
Set in the future, global events have destabilised the world leading to a collapse of modern society, a new world order and an uncertain future for humanity. As the human race struggles to recover, the re-developed nations focus their resources on deep space travel to chart a new beginning for mankind.
Respawn's shooter beats out Thief, South Park and Infamous.
Perhaps surprisingly, Thief finished as the month's second top-seller, ahead of South Park: The Stick of Truth at no.3 and InFamous: Second Son at no.4. The LEGO Movie Videogame was the fifth highest-selling, with FIFA 14, Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes and Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare coming in at no.6, 7 and 8.
Dark Souls 2 was reportedly the ninth best-selling and Call of Duty: Ghosts the tenth.
Release timings will, of course, have made an impact on each game's position, with InFamous: Second Son releasing a week after Titanfall. Thief, Call of Duty:...
As part of an expedition sent to find a home beyond Earth, lead your people into a new frontier, explore and colonize an alien planet and create a new civilization in space.
Creative director confirms hardware required to run Watch Dogs at its best.
"We expect a lot of different specs to run the game at a high," Jonathan Morin posted on Twitter. "But here are the ultra specs for the few who have them and ask for it...
"Ultra specs : Intel Core i7-4770K with a GeForce 780. The PC video was recorded on an Intel Core i7-3930K with a GeForce Titan IIRC."
He also answered questions regarding the PC version's NVIDIA exclusive features, confirming that "the only feature not available to AMD is Nvidia TXAA. HBAO+, although developed by Nvidia, also works on AMD."
Xbox 360 version helps the mech shooter's sales rise up 220%.
The strong sales mean that LEGO The Hobbit must settle for second place on its debut, while FIFA 14 is kicked down to No.3. Retailer promotions help South Park: The Stick of Truth rise 52 per cent to No.4, one place ahead of Call of Duty: Ghosts.
Elsewhere, Kinect Sports: Rivals is new at No.14, Football Manager 2014 re-enters the chart at No.18 thanks to the PS Vita edition, while Don Bradman Cricket 14 claims the 34th spot.
The Elder Scrolls Online is this week's major casualty, though, dropping from No.2 to No.19. Digital sales will be key for the MMO's ongoing...
But day one update required to boost Xbox One version above 800p.
In addition, B-Ten reports that the Xbox One version will require a day one update to boost its resolution from 800p to 900p. The patch will allegedly improve the frame rate of the PS4 version, too.
Both consoles are expected to run the game at 60fps.
The disparity marks yet another performance difference between the two consoles, and follows shortly after last week's rumours that the Xbox One version of Watch Dogs could also output someway south of the PS4 version.
Will it ever end?
Trials Fusion lands on Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and...
Uplay listing points to late 2014 launch for Wii U Watch Dogs.
As captured by Nintendo Enthusiast, the date was mentioned on the North American version of Ubisoft's store, pointing to a release on Nintendo's console months after its initial debut. Ubisoft is said to have later confirmed the launch timing to the site.
Watch Dogs launches on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC on May 27. Ubisoft has yet to formally announce a release date for the Wii U version.
Todd Stashwick to work alongside former Naughty Dog creative director Amy Hennig.
Taking to Twitter, Stashwick wrote: "Thanks everybody for the kind words and support on the Star Wars project. I'm over the moon...wait...that's no moon....
"As devout gaming/Star Wars geeks, Amy Hennig and I plan on writing a game we want to play. We will be our harshest critics."
Hennig had been teasing Stashwick's involvement with the secretive Star Wars title, having last week tweeted a picture of herself enjoying breakfast with Stashwick, alongside voice actor Nolan North and Lost actor Dominic Monaghan.
Titled 'Expedition', the DLC includes three new maps - Runoff, Swamplands and Wargames - and further bonuses, including the option to customise your Titan.
Polygon reports that the DLC will also introduce a new hashtag matchmaking system that will match players with others searching for the same hashtag, and an extension on the wall running mechanic that will allow players to run across trees.
The DLC will cost $9.99 in the States and is included with the game's Season Pass. It isn't yet known whether it'll launch across Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC simultaneously.
