"Ubisoft has confirmed plans to bring South Park: The Stick of Truth and Watch Dogs to the New York Comic Con next week.Players will get a chance to see Watch Dog’s companion app in action, which lets users hack into other players’ virtual cities and wreak havoc.Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag, Just Dance 2014, and The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot will also make an appearance as part of the Ubisoft-sponsored ‘Next Level’ competition, in which attendees can compete for special prizes."
"There’s an effort underway to create the world’s first video-game based theme park and resort in Southwest Florida. It’s called Game Nation and the team behind it will be holding a three day roll out event in the downtown Fort Myers River District in November.The idea behind the Game Nation concept is a theme park where, instead of just riding rides, patrons create their own characters, whose adventures and challenges they live out in fantasy and video-game based simulations.“We wanted something that was totally interactive, that’s submersive; that’s based around you, your character,” said entrepreneur and Game Nation creator Daniel Ruke."
