Batman Arkham Origins Revealed
There is also another break from tradition with origins. Batman Origins is the first game in the Arkham series that is not being developed by Rocksteady Studios instead the game is being developed by Warner Brothers games Montreal. The development of the game is being led by Creative director Eric Holmes. Holmes has been involved or been the lead on games such as Earthworm Jim 3D, Incredible Hulk Ultimate Destruction, Prototype and Gears of War 3 so he is no stranger to big titles.
According to website Game Informer, Warner Brothers Montreal have been Giving "full access to Rocksteady's custom modified Unreal engine to capture the look and feel of the Arkhamverse". So the game should look and feel very similar as the two previous hits. WB also announced that the series will be making it's first appearance on hand held consoles with a companion game called Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate set for release on the 3DS and the Vita on October the 25th. The Main Origins game is pegged for release on October the 25th 2013 on XBOX 360, PS3, WII U and the pc so get ready to don your masks and capes and prepare to fight evil once again in the name of truth, justice, trophies and achievements.

Ducktales Remastered
The NES and SNES classic Ducktales is set to be remade and remastered in HD which includes graphics and soundtrack. Additionally the original voice cast will be returning to reprise their roles something which they haven't done since 1990. Game producer Rey Jimenez recently did an interview with 'The Escapist; and he had this to say "The remastered version will be significantly easier and more accessible, that was in order to appeal to the modern gamer. However if you want the pure experience we are reproducing that with the harder difficulties.”
The new game is set to be released this summer for the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii U.

Killer is Dead announced
Grasshopper Manufacture are back and are making a title which made them famous. With Suda 51 again acting as executive director. "Killer is Dead" is set in the near future, and stars an executioner called Mondo Zappa who gets jobs from a cyborg who owns a hitman firm. I know right! Suda had this to say "it’s a personal story of a man who doesn't show himself much in the public world but still worms his way into society and mercilessly eliminates the evil dispersed in it.” Kinda reminds us of "No more Heroes" which if this game is half as good then we will surely be in for a treat. The game is due for a summer release on Xbox 360 and PS3 with Deep Silver acting as publisher. Check out the amazing trailer below:
Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain
After many months of speculation Konami has finally announced that The Phantom Pain is Metal Gear Solid V and is the same game as Ground Zero. Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima appeared on stage at the GDC to announced the truth and that Moby Dick Studio's doesn't exist - yeah like we didn't know that! Hideo later revealed via a tweet that 'Ground Zeroes’ is a prologue of ‘MGSV’. 9 years after that event will be ‘The Phantom Pain’. MGSV is constructed w/ prologue and main game ‘TPP’. The game play demo I presented today is the opening of ‘TPP’ which is tutorial that starts from crawling.'One surprise however was the fact that David Hayter who has gone on to be Solid Snake/ Big Boss in many titles along the series will not be reprising his role again himself tweeting that he was not even contacted and asked to be apart of the game. One thing which baffles us is that the game has only so far been announced on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 which surely isn't possible with how great the game is looking. Most of Hideo's GDC talk revolved around the new Fox Engine technology that powers the game. He revealed that the aim was to make the visuals as photorealistic as possible, with many of the game’s assets scanned in directly from real life.

Guess all the Nintendo Wii U owners can watch the trailer below and dream of what could have been.
