So? Is it going to be a traditional Wedding or a Commitment Ceremony?

Just realized now: this guy is Ocelot, dude from inFamous: Second Son --and-- Booker DeWitt! This guy really gets around! Maybe that's why Kojima likes him?

Sounds amazing. I can't wait for this and also their other Cyberpunk RPG.

Ubisoft: “We did not take a big risk with all those launch titles on Wii U. Wii U game development isn’t expensive — some Wii U games are versions of games for other platforms, like Assassin’s Creed. And we continue to invest in that system. We have just as many titles coming on Wii U this year as we did after launch, because the system isn’t as resource-intensive to make games for it"


Makes the third party blacklisting seem even worse if it's not even costing them that much for a port. I wish they would consider digital only U releases if they are concerned about distribution costs - unsold stock. The eShop is crammed with huge full retail games. Crysis 3 almost complete - close to releasing - nixed by EA. They could have let Crytek throw it on the shop.

Anyone picking up The Last of Us tonight?

I just assumed it would be for PS4.

Aonuma, Zelda 3DS, Wind Waker interview said:

It'd be easy to dismiss his team's work on that Wii U title as a lazy band-aid solution to the console's weak first-party release schedule. Easy, that is, until you consider its greater purpose: it's a training tool. And that's according to the man, himself. Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword were also considered as HD do-overs, but it was the Wind Waker conversion that showed the most promising and dramatic results. For Aonuma, development on the Wind Waker HD has helped his production team "learn what it is the Wii U can do... [and] what the system is capable of." All lessons he intends to apply to the development of future Wii U titles.

Nintendo had a six-year lead up to this new console generation, giving the company more than ample time to get the handle of HD development and learn from its rivals. But as Aonuma explained, "HD requires resources -- resources in the form of money, in the form of people... in the form of time." Almost all of which Nintendo appears to lack, save for the money. So how to remedy this situation? When we suggested the possibility of a second-party approach, something along the lines of the N64's "Dream Team" strategy, Aonuma laughed. "With regard to the Dream Team, I don't see something like that happening again. Because, quite frankly... we didn't know what we were trying to make. And then we brought people from the outside in to help us create this thing we weren't really clear on..."

It's a hurdle at the forefront of Aonuma's mind; a mentality Aonuma referred to as being furui, meaning 'old' or 'antiquated' in Japanese. He went on to explain that, "... the way we make games is we're very careful. We're very thorough. We're very detailed. We take a long time analyzing the different parts of a game... almost to our detriment. Almost too careful. I think the need is there for us to make decisions more quickly, weigh the risks [and] see what the payoff is."
