I'm going to take a break from
SSB4 to bring you loyal readers some other news coverage. You better be happy.

| Good-bye, Big Daddy... YOU FREAK. |
First of is actually not that recent but I need to touch on it: Irrational Games, the developers of great games like the
Bioshock franchise, closed its doors after 17 years. The reason for the shut down? Founder and studio head Ken Levine says he wants to "create something new," according to an article on
The Verge. Levine also said that "If we're lucky, we'll build something half as memorable as
Bioshock." There are only two things that make me sad about this news: 1. the possibility of no more Bioshock. When you think about it, the spiritual successor to the
System Shock series did follow an odd path when it comes to, believe it or not, titles.
Bioshock and
Biosock 2 had average titles but didn't play like average games but 2013's
Bioshock Infinite intrigued me with that word:
infinite. In most cases, the word infinite is used as a word to describe a situation in the case of death, such as a person's soul living infinitely on the other side. There's also the case with returning to Rapture in the
Burial at Sea DLC: why return to a place so admirable when you have clearly moved on from that storyline? Are both of these cases evidence of Irrational's good-bye salute? I don't know, it's just an idea.

| Assassin's Creed 5? ALREADY?!?! |
Finally, Ubisoft announced in a very special teaser trailer that they are releasing their next entry into the
Assassin's Creed franchise, named
Assassin's Creed: Unity. The new entry takes place during the French Revolution, according to sources. How does this relate to Desmond's bloodline, exactly? They haven't exactly released that information but if I were to make a guess, the next main character will be a blood-relative to Edward Kenway, much like he was a blood-relative to Connor in
Assassin's Creed III. For the first next-gen release in this iconic franchise, I sure hope Ubisoft makes this entry worth while.
But that about does it for your newest news!
SSB4 news will resume when something intriguing comes out and nothing about Assist Trophies or Stages.
And As Always, Gamers of the Nations, RAGE ON! I'll see you next time :)
