Watch Dogs dev: Platform holders need to "listen to players"

A subtle dig at proposed next-gen restrictions or a casual observation about market strategy?

Either way, these comments from the creative director of Watch Dogs, one of the hottest games of both this year’s and last year’s E3, are good food for thought.

To me next generation will be what players make of it,” Jonathan Morin told Edge. I think the generation we’re looking at now is past the concept of the box defining it.

I think people who make machines and consoles now need to listen to players, need to look at how they behave in their lives and then put that in their hands, but ultimately it’s going to be the players who are going to have to embrace new elements.”

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
