“It’s a world of difference to work together at one location. The whole game is made at DICE in Stockholm. It’s great having the guys running around, talking to each other. Co-op, for example, is actually based on a lot of the philosophy behind multiplayer. Teamwork is never forced, but we have different gadgets and mechanics that help you work together. Just the co-op and the multiplayer guys talking to each other, what you should be doing, it’s a much more coherent and better product overall.” – BF3 producer Patrick Liu on the differences between Battlefield 3 and Medal of Honor multiplayer development (via MTV).

Along with sending over shots from Asura’s Wrath, Capcom has also provided a North American release date of February 21, 2012 for the action title. We’re going to assume, due to the date, it will be released in the UK on February 24, but we’ll ask just to make sure. The game invites players to step into the shoes of Asura, and guide him through a player-controlled narrative as he takes out his revenge on the seven Guardian Generals who framed him for his wife’s murder, and for taking his daughter captive. Bastards. Asura’s Wrath will be released on Xbox 360 and PS3.

SEGA may be bringing Sonic back as his classic Sonic 1 self in unlockable form with Sonic Generations, but don’t look for it to be happening again any time soon. According to the firm’s European brand manager David Corless, “there are no plans, to be brutally honest, to bring Classic Sonic back.” Corless said the only reason he’s back for the November release, is due to it being the hedgehog’s 20th anniversary. “It was a real fitting time to do it, he’s really well loved,” he said. “Let’s see how Generations does. You can never say never in this industry, but at the moment there are no plans.”

Generations is out November 1 PC, PS3, and Xbox 360, and on November 22 and 25 for 3DS in the US and Europe, respectively. Thanks, Gematsu.
