"Assassin's Creed IV" Explores Tech of a Next-Gen Open World

Anyone interested in the technical side of game creation should definitely have a look at Ubisoft's latest video for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. There's quite a bit going on here, so it's cool to see some of the details of building a "next-gen open world."

First Animated Preview of "Sailor Moon" Director Junichi Sato's "Amazing Twins"

After a teaser and a glorified visual, we're now getting an animated look at Amazing Twins, the "new heroine" project from Junichi Sato, director on Sailor Moon, Aria and Magical Doremi, and creator of Kaleido Star and Princess Tutu. The 2014 OVA anime project features "foolish girl, saving the world" and you can see some of that "incomprehensible skill of human beings" and the new video from Shochiku.

Otaku Name the Anime Cross-Overs They Most Want to See

Anime and manga does have a history of official cross-overs, from the Go Nagai movies (Mazinger Z versus Devilman and the like) to the recent Dream 9 Toriko & One Piece & Dragon Ball Z Super Collaboration Special to the upcoming, second Detective Conan versus Lupin III. In a trivial, but fun Biglobe Anime One poll, otaku were asked to name the cross-over that they most want to see.

Worth noting, conventionally in these meetings of anime series, "versus" means the two parties joining forces more often than it means an outright battle.
