Straight from founder Alex Ward Roughly four years ago there was a rumor that Criterion Games (known for theBurnoutseries) was asked to develop anF-Zerogame for the Wii U. But due to “prior commitments,” it never really took off. Well, Criterion’s Alex Ward, the company’s founder, set the record straight from his end on a recent episode of the Game Informer Show. Speaking to the outlet, Ward noted that the report was “completely false,” and that the request was from someone “junior” at Nintendo of Europe, and simply contained the phrase “some of us were talking…[aboutF-Zero]....

New Rockman Unity post drops a hint Black Zero has already been revealedas the newestMega Manfigure in the D-Arts line, but we may have a hint at what’s coming next. Anew message has been postedby Japanese site Rockman Unity (those guys look like they have so much fun by the way), which,according to Mega Man Network, reads “what if you regret making me a poseable figure…” This is most likely a reference to the line “what if you regret making me remember,” which is uttered byMega Man Zero— Inafune’s most treasured creation....

Otherwise, those puppies are a’bouncing WithDead or Alive Xtreme 3’sdelay into March, Koei Tecmo has to keep the edging up another month. But how do you compete on the titillation scale with the world wide web, which let’s you watch Sylvester Stallone’s porno flick whenever you want? I’ll tell you how: character trailers. Here’s Momiji, at the incredibly-legal age of 21. Her other measurements are there, too. Why is she rock climbing without shoes or chalk for her hands....

But where’s the live action Siege show? Producer Adi Shankar, known for his animated adaptation ofCastlevaniaand the upcomingAssassin’s Creedshow, is also expected to begin production on a series based on Ubisoft’s 2012 open-world adventureFar Cry 3, specifically its tongue-in-cheek “Blood Dragon” sub-universe. Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Vibeis still in its early stages, but the animated series is expected to help kickstart a “multiverse” of sorts, entirely comprised of Ubisoft adaptations....

Thesemountscome from level 100 extreme trials, so they’re not easy to get, but they’re absolutely worth the effort. Before you can run the extreme trials inDawntrail, you’ll need to unlock them. To do this, you’ll need to complete the entireDawntrailMSQ up to and including the level 100 MSQ quest ‘Dawntrail’. After this, you’ll be able to talk to theWandering Minstrel in Tuliyollal (X:11....

Here’s how to beat theFinal Fantasy XVIAgni boss battle. As soon as you begin the Brotherhood main quest, this boss will be available to you. This is very far into the game, close to the ending....

‘I’m gonna be a sky pirate’ I’ve always had a lukewarm relationship withFinal Fantasy XII, and its protagonist, Vaan. The only thing it really did for me was apeFinal Fantasy XI‘s combat and add in gambits. Post-game content was pretty cool compared to most of the series, but the story and characters (outside of Balthier of course) didn’t grip me throughout. I felt this way at launch, and a few years ago I replayed it and had the same outcome....

Collect some cards! If you are tired of waiting to playHearthstone, an alternative card game has popped up on Steam for you to enjoy. Ubisoft’sMight & Magic Duel of Championsas a free-to-play title onSteamwith DLC card packs available for purchase. You’ll have to put up with uPlay’s annoying login and overall terribleness to play, but for a free game I think you may deal with it. The game came out back in May, but I somehow overlooked it until the Steam release....

Interesting Although it slipped by most of us until several days ago, From Software has uploaded a new video to its channel, hinting at its nextnot-Soulsrelated project. As Miyazaki confirmed recently, it’s actively in development, and according to the clip, it will hit the PS4, PC, and Xbox One platforms. But it’s important to note that for the former, it will also sport PlayStation VR support. We already know that From is working on a “new IP,” but that doesn’t mean other series can’t be iterated on concurrently....

I pick the one with the Chocobo! Inlast week’s pollI asked everyone to pick their favoriteUnchartedgame out of the three main console releases from Naughty Dog. Over 1,200 of you voted and here are the results: Classic example of how one game in a successful series has overwhelming fan appreciation, yet other games still resonate stronger with some gamers. This week we tackle a series far larger, far more convoluted, and far more debated....

The platformer we’ve been waiting for This week during GDC 2013, the developer behind the rather excellent platformersNandN+announced a third game. Continuing the series was not necessarily the original intent; for a while, Metanet Software had longed to put out something other than another installment. “We were clinging to the idea thatNmight be the only proof we had that we weren’t completely idiotic or utter failures,” president Mare Sheppard said during a panel....

Full break down of the salehereor check our top picks below.

Like manyAssassin’s Creedfans, I’ve always felt that feudal Japan was simply a natural period for the series.I remember an early discussion by developer and publisher Ubisoft almost two decades agoabout future entries into the franchise exploring unique periods, including Egypt—which ended up being a big change for the series with Assassin’s Creed Origins—and Japan. I recently got some hands-on time with the early parts ofAssassin’s Creed Shadows, including the prologue that introduces both playable characters Naoe and Yasuke, and one of the early sequences of missions in the open world....
