From Software Working on 3 Games, One Is Armored Core

From Software president and Dark Souls creator Hidetaka Miyazaki has said that his studio is currently developing three games, and that one of them will be a new entry in the Armored Core series.

In an interview with IGN at Tokyo Game Show, Miyazaki gave hints as to what each of the three games will be:

"So there are several titles that we are currently working on

Some of those are dark fantasy, some of those could be a mech

- that's one thing. The second thing is that one of the new titles I've been working on will probably comply with the expectations from the fans in straightforward manner.

"The last thing is that another title will probably be a little bit weird. When we actually announce the title, probably fans will react with 'oh, what the hell is this very weird game that Miyazaki has created?'"

Oculus Touch Controllers Reportedly Cost More Than Expected

The Oculus Touch, the upcoming motions controllers for the Oculus Rift, reportedly cost way more than people were expecting.

Engadget's Nick Summers noticed a pre-order sign for the Oculus Touch, stating you can order now for launch day delivery for £189.99 in the UK.

You will be getting an extra camera in the bundle, as well as the two controllers, which may account for the unexpected price.

For comparison, the HTC Vive costs £759 in the UK. If this pricing is correct, an Oculus Rift and Touch together will cost £738.99, coming in just below its competitor.

Paladins Developer Responds to Overwatch Comparisons

The developer behind Smite, Hi-Rez Studios, has addressed the allegations that its hero shooter Paladins: Champions of the Realm, which recently went into open beta, is copying aspects of Blizzard's Overwatch.

In a statement exclusively provided to IGN, Hi-Rez's COO Todd Harris asserted that Overwatch "was not the inspiration for Paladins" and that characters in the game who appear to mimic Overwatch heroes "were available and playable in the Paladins beta long before similar character abilities were shown in Overwatch."

Read Harris' full statement below:

While Overwatch is a fine game, it was not the inspiration for Paladins. Game development is an interactive process with ideas coming from many past projects. For the hero shooter genre, the game that deserves the most credit is Team Fortress 2. We released a TF2 inspired class-based shooter called Global Agenda way back in 2010. Paladins was conceived as a fantasy version of Global Agenda and of the approximately 85 combat abilities currently in Paladins, the vast majority are from the game Global Agenda we made 10 years ago.
