Kojima Talks PS4: Excited About Interaction

Posted on February 28, 2013 by Jason Bassett

Hideo Kojima is more excited about interaction than hardware it seems. In a recent interview with IGN, Kojima states that he is more excited in the social and long ranged feature sets of the Playstation 4 saying: I can say that with every new generation of hardware the capabilities of the hardware increases. But up to this point it’s always been very much of a vertical evolution – of course, you expect things like visual fidelity, audio, frame rate.

Posted on February 28, 2013 by Rae Michelle Richards

The next entry the annual Assassin’s Creed franchise will be a full fledged numbered sequel. Unveiled on Ubisoft’s facebook page the game is titled Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag and the reveal image conveys very clearly that the game will revolve around piracy in some fashion.

To my biggest surprise, Darksiders was nowhere on the list of being picked up by anyone. Granted the second game
