Destiny.  I had even forgotten the name of Bungie's next project given all  the attention and hype Repawn's Titanfall has been getting.

I heard an IGN UK writer confuse Titanfall as a Bungie project last week.

the digitizer is the technology that allows you to use the pressure sensitive pen.  It'd be of great use to me, but if there's no software that supports it, it's useless.

Yeah, I know that the Pro's don't come with office.  I'd try to install my office 2010 on it, and if that fails I'd have to get me a new copy.  No way I'm going to pay a monthly fee for it though.


Most programs I own allow you to install it on 2 devices, so I'm going to install them on the pro.  Worst thing that could happen is that they don't show up on the Metro front, right?

The pen aint great, most of the time I use it when required in desktop mode as a substitute mouse but you must hold it vertically straight because otherwise the point at the end is slightly off kilter. There is also a half second lag when writing which maybe more to do with my specs than the actual device, but to put things in perspective the wii u and 3ds writing with stylus is faster, more responsive and accurate. From what I've read it's because the finger touch tablets are capacitive, resistive are better for stylus, you can use stylus with certain capacitive touch screens as I do here but it doesn't feel ideal. It doesn't help that w8 is built for fingers or mouse, so even you use the fanch stylus you have to use fingers too and sub menus. I think apart from fine work in desktop mode you really need the right apps to the most use out of it.

I wish this was also a digital game for Wii U.

AC4 Wii U graphics

Sitting down with Assassin’s Creed Producer Martin Schelling, and lead game designer Jean-Sebastien Decant, they revealed to Expansive that the Wii U version will exceed its current gen counter parts visually, he also confirmed that the AC:IV companion app will be fully compatible with the Wii U version of the game.

‘It will be I think, in between the current gen and next gen consoles. We could have had some of the tools from the companion on the second screen, but because the companion app will be available with Wii U too we didn’t include them.’

With many Wii U ports often being rushed and not taking full advantage of Nintendo’s console’s more modern hardware it is great to hear that Ubisoft’s team are taking the time to push the system.

This is what they said about Watchdogs, I'm skeptical. Good newsnon the companion app.

I'm unimpressed by Valve's direction too....how about making some fucking software again?

The best first-person shooter developer at one time and they refuse to make any new ones.

Valve can't count to three.

Robio, I'm posting something on Miiverse later tonight....inspired by you.

Well I'm glad you told me, otherwise I'd likely miss it. I've got to box up my Wii U in the next day or two and send it off to Nintendo for repairs. Touchscreen is having problems and I've got a nasty dead zone on it.

The next SteamWorld game is not a sequel to Dig

This is probably for the best. While I do think the game was a little on the short side, I'm not sure I'd want to play an entirely new game where you'd essentially be doing the same thing. You can only dig down for so many hours after all. They created a neat little world where humans created robots, and then mutated into evil nasty gollum-like creatures leaving the robots to be the good guys. It's a nice idea to build a world around, and if they can keep a game's quality at that same level, we'll all be in for a treat.

And for you 3DS owners who still don't own SteamWorld Dig.... shame on you!

All wii games are now viewableon the wii u pad. But the pad can't be used for controls. You have t use the wiimote. So that is pointless.

And here I thought I was playing Valve's latest game, released in July.  Or you could check out Counter-Strike GO from last year if you wanted an FPS.  Unless by software, you meant Half-Life.
