"A new batch of Batman: Arkham Knight screenshots have been published online by AGB.The latest images show off the Batmobile, which will be driveable for the first time in the series, as well as a number of villains that Batman will face off with.Billed as the “explosive finale” to the series, the game takes place one year after the events of Batman: Arkham City, when Batman is at the very peak of his powers."
"Respawn Entertainment is vowing to increase the frequency of updates for its multiplayer shooter, Titanfall.A new blog post from Game Director Steve Fukuda stressed that not only will theTitanfall team be “accelerating” updates, but we should expect an increased focus on the “frequency and quality of communication” around said updates with the Titanfall community.The first round of updates will address issues in the current game – “tending to the garden to keep the weeds out” – like last week’s adjustments to the Gooser Challenge."
"The reason that Watch Dogs saw its release day put back to May 27 was one of polish. Ubisoft had finished developing that game, but wanted to polish it, meaning lots of little adjustments across the entire game that add up to a big improvement. But extra time for polish also means extra time for everything else, including new animations. And that has meant lead character Aiden Pearce now has thumb and finger animations worthy of a next-gen game.Hacking is a major part of the Watch Dogs experience, and it involves Pearce using his phone and screens in general a lot. So having high quality finger and thumb animations actually makes for a more believable experience, especially when you are seeing such actions repeatedly."
