We've contacted Telltale about this speculative

We've contacted Telltale about this speculative rumor and will update this post should we receive a response. Either way, I'm sure we'll know something come February 17.Update: And Telltale games confirms that we'll know something come February 17, though has no comment on this particular rumor.Is a Walking Dead Videogame About to Be Announced? [1UP]”Commenter Bipolar.Bear.Disorder is missing the good old days of replica Jaeger LeCoultre 303.81.20 Men's Watch World War II in today's installment of Speak-Up On Kotaku.Am I the only one left in the gaming community that misses World War II games? With everyone's intense focus on modern and future ware, I feel as if World War II video games, my favorite genre, have fallen a bit by the wayside. Of course, World War II games are still being released, but not on the constant scale that used to be the norm.

I understood that some people had begun to feel as if the era had been overdone and cliché, but I must admit, I really miss FPS games where aim was more important than perks, and headshots didn't have to come from sniper rifles.With this sudden influx of contemporary war games set in the present and future, I feel like we as gamers lose an important facet that was prominent in the more well-made productions. I can't really explain what I mean by it, though. To me, it just feels like games like Modern Ware and Medal of Honor miss replica Jaeger LeCoultre Q2908650 Men's Watch some important element that was in their earlier iteration. It isn't the scope of the war, or even the actual combat itself. I just don't think that war games set in a modern period have the same “magic,” for lack of a better term; that games like Call of Duty 2, Brothers in Arms, and Company of Heroes had. Maybe it's a sense of righteousness, with a clear sense of who the enemy is and what our goals are.

Maybe since it took place “so many years ago,” it seems as if it's another time in another place.

I just don't understand why gamers and developers had begun to ignore World War II. Maybe it was being overdone, but I'm pretty sure developers hadn't used the era to its fullest potential. There are so much other stories left to tell. There's so replica Jaeger LeCoultre Q2908150 Men's Watch much things developers hadn't done yet. This current batch of modern-combat games cannot match the ones that took us up Normandy Beach, fighting through once-pristine French streets, to reach the city of Berlin.Maybe that's what's missing in these games set in modern conflicts.

That is not the 3DS experience when it comes

That is not the 3DS experience when it comes to 3D. By design, the 3D is something you do think about. It is something you manage and tinker with. In most of the games I played on Wednesday, you think about it once and then it just works, works so wonderfully you keep thinking about Ridge Racer Ridge Racer! of all things two days later. When it doesn't, though, 3D on the 3DS feels like something of a hassle, something unusually replica Jaeger LeCoultre Watch 274.31.7A inelegant for the kind of video game experiences Nintendo likes to present.The 3DS still needs its game that makes us forget about the 3D effects while still loving the 3D effects. It needs its game that melts our awareness of the device away. It already has, however, the ability to convey a wonderful experience.

You should see it, maybe after the machine launches in North America on March 27. With the right games, it looks great.”When an entertainment property becomes as hot as comic book and television series The Walking Dead a video game is sure to follow, but from where? Telltale Games might be readying an adventure series based on the replica Jaeger LeCoultre 273.24.2A Men's Watch zombie survival epic.They've got Jurassic Park and Back to the Future, so why not The Walking Dead as well? According to an event invitation received by 1UP, Telltale Games has plans to reveal five new multi-platform game projects on February 17, and The Walking Dead might be among them. The invitation describes one of the five new properties as:

“one based on a just-launched property from the TV and comic book world whose popularity is changing life as some know it.”hat certainly sounds like The Walking Dead to me, as long as we stick the just-launched bit to last year's smash hit AMC television series and not the Image comic book, which has been running since 20003.If Telltale does replica Jaeger LeCoultre 303.21.20 Men's Watch have a game based on The Walking Dead in the works, I shall be quite pleased. We've already got plenty of video games that focus solely on destroying zombies, and that's not what The Walking Dead is about. It's about how humans interact in the bleak post-zombie-apocalypse setting more than anything, and that screams adventure game.

It's impossible for me to deduce what the problem

It's impossible for me to deduce what the problem was. Is it my eyes? My brain? The games? The hardware? More importantly, will any of those things improve? Can any of them adapt over time to the 3DS experience.The 3DS has the advantage and disadvantage of that 3D slider. That feature renders 3D as merely optional for any 3DS game. That replica Jaeger LeCoultre 300.84.20 Men's Watch means that Kid Icarus and Pilotwings could be excellent games even if they are horrible in 3D. The temptation will be the selling point is to turn that 3D on. And there, so far, those games suffer.

One of the strangest things about the 3D on Nintendo's 3DS is that you have to think about it. That is not the normal Nintendo experience. We all know how you press this button or that to make Mario jump or throw a fireball in Super Mario Bros. We replica Jaeger LeCoultre 300.11.20 Men's Watch know that some sort of motion sensor lets us swing our arm to play tennis in Wii Sports. Nintendo's victory has long been that we seldom consciously think about things like that. We forget about the machinery. We get lost in the experience.

At a few tables on Wednesday, Nintendo was showing its AR games. AR stands for augmented reality, a technique others have used before Nintendo but perhaps not as well. Place a special card on a table, point the 3DS at it, and, on the screen of the 3DS, that table appears to sprout a fire-breathing dragon at which you can shoot as you walk replica Jaeger LeCoultre Watch 274.34.7A around it (by walking around the table!). This all happens thanks to cameras and gyro sensors and other tech, but the experience is so good you don't think about it. You don't analyze the machinery. You don't dwell on the technology. You don't worry about whether this effect or that effect is turned on or off.You forget the gadgetry and get lost in the game.

Kid Icarus Uprising is graphically spectacular

Kid Icarus Uprising is graphically spectacular when the 3D slider is off. When I slid that slider up, no matter how I positioned it adjusting the degree of 3D-ness of the graphics I kept fracturing the solidity of the image.To see the 3D in any 3DS game, replica Jaeger LeCoultre 302.24.20 Men's Watch you have to maintain a stillness of hands and a consistency of focus that takes a half-second to biologically click in. It's neither hard nor annoying to maintain that focus on games like Ridge Racer or Nintendogs, but with Kid Icarus, I found that I continued to lose my focus. I literally kept seeing double as a result.

I had the same seeing-double problem with Nintendo's Pilotwings Resort, the one game that showed a hint of gameplay-relevance to its 3D graphics. When I was able to maintain 3D focus, I was controlling a small plane, flying toward orbs floating in the replica Jaeger LeCoultre 300.14.20 Men's Watch sky and through rings that hovered beyond. The 3D helped me judge how far away each orb and ring was. But every five seconds or so, I'd lose focus and the rings would appear to double. I'd tinker with the slider, get a fix, and have it work for a few seconds more.

I asked others about the double-vision problems. Some people said they'd seen it too on Pilotwings and Kid Icarus. Some said they'd seen it on the 3DS' The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time. I did not see it in Zelda.One of the strangest things about the 3D on Nintendo's 3DS is that you have to think about it. That is not the normal Nintendo experience.I talked to Nintendo people about it. They recommended holding the replica Jaeger LeCoultre 300.81.20 Men's Watch system more still (impossible; I hadn't been moving). Some said they'd long ago gotten used to keeping their focus on the 3DS. One who said he always gets headaches from other things promised me he'd never gotten a headache from the 3DS, despite more than a half-year of playing on the machine.
