[Multi] Capcom Vancouver working on an unannounced IP

In case you missed the change, Capcom Vancouver were formerly known as Blue Castle Games. We can safely assume they are working on a Dead Rising 3, but a job listing alludes to the fact that they might be working on something else.

According to the job listing over at Creative Heads Capcom Vancouver are looking for a new Design Director to head an unannounced new IP. The job is overseeing a new third-person action game that we haven't seen yet, based off the studio's success from the Dead Rising franchise this makes a lot of sense.

Taking any bets on what the second project is? Assuming the first is definitely Dead Rising 3.

Miyamoto working on an unannounced 'original' game

by JC Fletcher on Jan 6th 2012 10:00AM

A recent Zoomin Games interview with Shigeru Miyamoto mentioned in passing that, in addition to Luigi's Mansion 2 for 3DS and Pikmin 3 to Wii U, he is also working on what ZoomIn called an "undisclosed original title." Speaking about that mysterious new project, Miyamoto said "If you ask me, 'Is it too much pressure to try to come out with something new?' I have to say no, I'm enjoying myself."

By way of explaining his own style, he gave us some idea of what to expect. "Each creator has his or her own field for which he or she is particularly good at," Miyamoto said. "I'm not saying that I am particularly bad at making the very photo-realistic video games. But when it comes to the realistic games, you have to create something familiar. I personally want to make something really different."

The rest of the interview is devoted to damage control from that time he didn't even actually say he was retiring from Nintendo.

Vicarious Visions has three unannounced projects, including one for Wii U

by JC Fletcher on Sep 30th 2011 1:02PM

Longtime Guitar Hero, Tony Hawk, and now Skylanders developer Vicarious Visions has three new projects in the works, according to a report from GameSpot. Reportedly, an associate producer's LinkedIn page specifies something codenamed "Project Nova" for Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii U, the PS3/Xbox 360 "Project Atlantis," and "Project Phoenix," for Xbox 360, PS3, and regular-style Wii.

Of course, no other information was given about these projects -- except that they prove that VV owner Activision is already integrating Wii U into its multiplatform development. Not only would "Project Phoenix" be the first Wii U game from VV, by the way, these would also be the second, third, and fourth PS3/Xbox 360 games from the studio. It's only made Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 for those platforms.
