Ubisoft's record of accidentally leaking game information meant for a later date continues as the newest Assassin's Creed game was leaked today.

The game will be called Assassin's Creed: Revelations and at the moment it is not known if the game will be a spinoff like Brotherhood or continues the Assassin's Creed main story.

Ubisoft made the mistake of uploading the game's Facebook page while in the process of making the page and then took it down once people started to actually comment on the page.


http://gamrfeed.vgchartz.com/story/8...ations-leaked/

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A leak from 343 Studios confirms Halo 4 will be announced soon and as early as this year's E3. A developer working on the project said the game has been in development since July 2010 and original plans were to have it released before Reach with Reach delayed for another year.

The rumored Halo Combat Evolved remake is still expected for later this year while Halo 4 would be set for a 2012 release.

Was just about to say the same thing, not a spin off at all, more of Assassin's Creed II: Episode 2 really, you know like what they did with Half Life 2

Yeah spin-off was a poor choice of words since the game is more like an "episode"/expansion-like than a true sequel or spin-off.

The next Assassin's Creed could still be a spin-off though because Ubisoft previously was considering branching away from the main story as a potential option because they want the games to come out every year.

Bethesda believes it has fixed the issues from the recent Fallout New Vegas patch (1.3) which froze game saves and made other parts of the game unplayable. The update was only for English versions of the game due to Bethesda still working on other language versions for their patch.

The new patch for the 1.3 update unfreezes game saves while keeping the stuff the previous patch fixed unchanged.

Bethesda noticed the issue with the patch after a few users complained about the save bug and warned everyone to not update the patch. They also warned Microsoft to not make the previous update mandatory hours after it had occurred.

This also isn't the first time Bethesda has had issues with faulty patches involving saves either on the Fallout or Oblivion series due to the engine itself being very buggy especially after changes are made.

Apparently, RE's Claire Redfield VA (and total MILF) Alyson Court used to do localization work for Capcom and she is in fact the one responsible for the Guns & Roses inspired names in Mega Man X5.

A recently created Microsoft studio responsible for Kinect-related games announces they are working on a "hardcore" shooter for the Kinect with Microsoft backing the game as a "AAA title."

Microsoft originally created the studio to focus more on "social microtransaction" games but Microsoft switched its focus after negative backlash from its fans and letting Rare focus more on the casual side of Kinect.

The studio also hinted it will not work on just Kinect games but "Xbox 360, Xbox Live, Kinect, and future gaming platforms."

As of now Gears 3 appears to be the only "hardcore" shooter for the system this Fall but Microsoft might announce more details of this new game at E3 this year.


http://kotaku.com/#!5797784/kinect-g...crosoft-studio

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quick Round-up of some gaming news:

1) Ubisoft is creating their own film studio so that the company can make films and rely less on outside studios who don't know much about the game they are making as a film.
2) Silicon Knights determined to finish the Too Human triology as their top priority
3) Sony shuts down their SOE services after 12,700 credit card accounts were stolen
4) Square-Enix pushing for Draqon Quest X changes its schedule for the game from a potential late 2011 release to now an early 2012 release and before the next Nintendo is available.

THQ posts a $136+ million loss for the 1st quarter of 2011 with all platforms except the Wii and the DS having big drops in sales.

THQ was pleased with Homefront and Smackdown vs Raw 2011 sales but decides instead of focusing more on their strong Wii sales, to move all their focus to the "struggling" Xbox 360/PS3 sales.

As part of helping their "struggling" sales platforms, Udraw is coming to the Xbox 360 and PS3 after seeing good success on the Wii. No news if THQ will continue support of Udraw for the Wii as part of their plan.

THQ's own forecast for the 1st quarter also ended in a decline mainly due to 2010 being a strong year overall in the industry and 2011 starting out slower than expected. THQ also relied a bit too much on PS2 sales last year with this year being dropped by 50%.

As part of a final push of the Wii by Nintendo and keeping with tradition, Nintendo announces later in May the start of the budget line of Wii games under the "Wii Select" label.

Games included in the first batch are Zelda Twilight Princess and Super Smash Bros Brawl with a $19.99 price tag. Also revealed is Mario Kart Wii will replace Wii Sports as Wii Sports now being sold on its own.

When asked about gaming and his potential future outside of game development, Shigeru Miyamoto reveals he won't completely leave the game industry.

His goal is to become something similar to a professor but training and teaching new young developers the importance of the user in games and other stuff Miyamoto is famous for in gaming.

Quote:
"When I leave the company, I would like to work with young people and teach them about developing", Miyamoto tells The Guardian. "Though it wouldn't be like [traditional] teaching, more explaining how we think and how we interact with the user. For the development process, practical learning is important."
Miyamoto is mostly in charge of the Mario series as his other gaming properties have had others working with him as the future successors for the series (ex. Zelda).

I'd imagine you're gonna have to upgrade just about everything.

You may get away with a Core 2 Quad, but I'm sure Core i7/i5 would be the best (along with a new motherboard). Not to mention you'd need a new video card, which one I'm not too sure, though.

More RAM and a 120hz monitor to round things out.

Ubisoft officially reveals details on the next Assassin's Creed game and confirms it will be called Assassin's Creed: Revelations.

The game will follow the gameplay style of Brotherhood with more focus on the mulitplayer than the previous game.

The game also will be the final chapter from the Ezio side of the story with Altair and Desmond playing a role in the game. This time the setting is set in Constantinople during the time of the Ottoman Empire.

Ubisoft also reveals the biggest change to the game revolves around "new weapon and tool that changes the way you'll fight and traverse the world."

The multiplayer portion of the game was revealed to be very customizable and robust in comparison to Brotherhood while Ubisoft is also working on fixing the servers and connection problems Brotherhood had. A new game mode to go along with new maps and characters was also promised for multiplayer.

The game is set for a November 2011 release date on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.

The next game in the Burnout series called Burnout Crash! had more of its details "leaked" by the ratings board of Australia. Previously, the same ratings board accidentally revealed the game before EA had a chance to officially announce the game.

From the revelations, the game appears to be taking a more "cartoony" approach to gameplay unlike previous games in the series. The game is done in a top-down perspective and includes new stuff for the challenge mode such as "tornadoes, spacecraft, and lobster monsters."

Quote:
This is an action game in which players earn points for creating traffic pileups. From a top-down perspective, players initiate crashes by driving 'cartoony' vehicles (e.g., cars, trucks, vans, buses) into busy intersections; multiple crashes trigger score multipliers and rack up large 'bills' of property damage. Each level is accompanied by crashing sounds, small explosions, and vocal encouragement (e.g., 'Cool,' 'Maximum Carnage!'). In some levels, players are instructed to crash into police cars (e.g., 'Crash them before they bust you!'); in other sequences, oversized airplanes, tornados, lobster monsters, and UFOs slide across the screen, destroying any vehicles in their path.
The game is set for a unannounced release date on the Xbox 360 and PS3 with more information expected at E3 2011.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quick News Round-up:

1) IGN officially purchases UGO Entertainment who owns 1UP and a couple other gaming websites as part of a larger plan to drop their merger with News Corp. and start a new merger with UGO.
2) Unlike EA and THQ, Capcom's financial report reveals the company will make a profit from the fiscal year and its 20% more than their initial expectations.
3) In wake of the PSN mess, Nintendo is sending out emails to its Club Nintendo users giving them the option to cancel their membership for those worried about their online information and as part of the new terms required for the upcoming eShop for the 3DS.
4) Age of Empires Online beta will be switching from a closed beta to an open beta starting this weekend to anyone interested in participating.

Joystiq

NeoGAF user SolidSnakex has posted a breakdown of this month's Game Informer coverage of the just-announced Assassin's Creed: Revelations. First off, let's get the protagonist problem out of the way: In Revelations, you'll play as both 12th century stabber Altair and his 16th century descendant Ezio, now over 50 years old. Ezio will be looking for "seals" which will allow him to access Altair's memories, similar to how Desmond used the Animus to access both Altair's and Ezio's memories. Speaking of Desmond, he's unsurprisingly back in the Animus "where he finds a safe mode called the 'Black Room.'" The gameplay in Desmond's mode is described as "narrative-fueled puzzle sequences," geometric shapes and all.

The lion's share of the game will take place in Constantinople (or, as it's known today, Istanbul) separated into four districts: Constantin, Beyazid, Imperial, and Galata. If you want a change of scenery (fairy chimneys!) some of the game will also take place in Cappadocia. Inside the cities, you'll be able to establish Assassin's Dens, a sort of expanded Borgia Tower mechanic from Brotherhood. Complete various scenarios, take down the regional Templar presence, establish a Den, and then "upgrade the buildings in that region along with adding ziplines across the rooftops."

Ubisoft wants to make your time spent in Constantinople (and Cappadocia!) more valuable, so they've not only done away with traditional side missions in favor of random events (ie: noticing a shop owner being robbed) but have also given Ezio (and Altair?) a new item called the "hookblade" which can be used with the aforementioned ziplines to speed up navigation "by about 30%."

But it wouldn't be a video game if you couldn't use that hookblade to mess dudes up. Lucky for you it can be used to pull said dudes in for a mean combo. More interested in bombs, you say? So is Ezio! He can now make up to 300 bombs using a crafting system. Along with the new toys comes a new level cap and a more narrative-focused multiplayer mode with the ability to customize your character and create guilds.

Lastly, Ubisoft Montreal is using a new facial capture technology called Mocam which Game Informer calls an "intriguing amalgamation of traditional animation, performance capture and the fascinating new style of performance on display in games like LA Noire." And yes, Ubi is doing all that with another one-year turnaround. With the success of Brotherhood, we're certainly giving it the benefit of the doubt.

Of course, you can find more details (and pretty pictures!) in the June issue of Game Informer.

...

Interested to see how the seals work. Guessing this game will show the death of Ezio
