New Starhawk Gameplay Footage
Sony announced this fully fledged sequel to one of PSN’s oldest and most understated games only earlier this month, and now suddenly we have over 11 minutes of very impressive gameplay to feast on.

Modern Warfare 3: A Game Engine Tweaked, Improved, And Evolved
Infinity Ward’s creative strategist Robert Bowling has said via Twitter that the I-Ward/MW2 engine is still being used, and that the team have been adding major improvements to keep it up to the new FPS standards: "We haven't gone into detail on the engine yet but we've moved beyond the MW2 engine and added a lot of cool stuff for #MW3." DICE and EA seem to feel that Activision have been allowing the CoD franchise to become sloppy, and aren’t enthusing their development teams out of lazy annual iterations. Battlefield 3 is practically openly challenging MW3 (and every other shooter out there in fact) to deliver a game that can match the raw power their Frostbite 2 engine radiates.

It’s one of the key navigational tools in the online universe and it is also one we almost take for granted now. Considering how far online gaming has come since the last generation of consoles, it’s incredibly interesting to see how joining a game-lobby has evolved, and how the standard and expectation has risen dramatically.

WET 2 Cancelled?
Behaviour Interactive have reportedly put an abrupt halt on development on the sequel to 2009’s less than perfect WET. Information on an ex-technical artist’s LinkedIn profile seems to suggest that the crazy and clunky action game will not be getting a big sequel as some (admittedly very few) had hoped.

Duke Nukem Forever: Behind The Scenes History Lesson And Demo Info
Gearbox and 2K Games have just released the second part to their behind the scenes glimpse of the Duke’s mega reboot, Duke Nukem Forever. The developers discuss the history of the franchise and the move to 3D back in 1996 (not the crazy expensive- funky glasses 3D mind). Plenty of strong opinions but not so much gameplay unfortunately.
