Dev praises Ubisoft for having the courage to delay Watch_Dogs

Coming from Massive Entertainment's MD David Polfeldt...

"It’s tremendously important for us as a developer studio, to know that the owner and the publisher are ready to take that hit, and [the Watch Dogs delay] was a massive hit. I think their shares fell 25 per cent on the day it was announced. It takes so much courage to live through that day and still think that was a good decision. So for us in the development [side of things], that’s an important message that ultimately the management will back up the goals that we have, which is the game has to be great.

That’s ultimately the end goal and then it’s a million times better if it’s on time, but if there is a choice between time and quality, then quality will win. If you look at Ubisoft you see a lot of people who have been in the company for over 20 years and that’s not very common today in corporate landscapes. But I do think that one of the reasons is people believe that ultimately this company has a very positive agenda about putting out good entertainment products and we’re willing to back it up, we’re will to take a few hits and some larger risks to make sure quality is very high.

"Definitely when we go to the internal milestones, we’re constantly being pushed for more innovation, thinking further, what could you do that surprises even ourselves? What are we not doing that we could do? Have you studied the competition?”

Blood Bowl 2 resurfaces with new teaser

Orcs and humans battle it out in an in-game teaser for developer Cyanide Studios' Blood Bowl 2, coming to PC from publisher Focus Home Interactive. The brief footage is the first look at the game, which features a "brand new graphic engine," since being announced in June 2013.

Blood Bowl, a video game series based on the Games Workshop board game property of the same name, is a comical spoof of American football featuring fantasy characters. Cyanide says the upcoming sequel is "more ambitious" than its previous efforts, adding a new single-player campaign and a multiplayer-based League mode, which gives players managerial control over their team, club and stadium. What are hotdogs in an orc-run stadium made of, do you suppose? Actually, never tell me the answer to that.

Cyanide promises more information and footage of Blood Bowl 2 in the coming months. [Image: Cyanide Studios]

Twisted Fusion's total playtime discussed

A portion of a 4cr interview with Twisted Fusion's Lewis Pugh...

4cr: How much time will it take someone to play Twisted Fusion from start to finish?

LP: It really depends on the style of the player because of the open-world nature. There’s allot of content in the game that isn’t needed to see the credits but make for a much more complete experience and should be great for replay value. In terms of actual time I think the average player will take about 8 hours to complete the story. However even after the story has ended there will still be stuff to do.

As of April 15th, it is a mere 56 days before E3 – that’s just 8 weeks from today! We’re a bit nerdy when it comes to booth design – we like having something a little different each and every year, while maintaining a few staples that our E3 fans have come to love. Watch for a full album of memories live from E3, as CeeCee will be in the booth again this year with her camera snapping all sorts of pics!

E3: What Shall We Play?

We know our fans are anxious to hear what we’ll be showing, and we’ll have lots of news coming over the next two months as we get ever-closer to the show’s launch. While we can’t discuss any specific titles at this time, rest assured that many of the staple Natsume series that we’re known for will be in attendance. We’ll have a final line-up of games that will be showing during E3 (June 10th-12th) in late May or early June!
