The other day we posted screens from a brand new Assassin's Creed set during the French Revolution. Called Assassin's Creed Unity, the game is exclusive to new-gen consoles, and the video below apparently shows in-game visuals. It's possible, although don't get your hopes up, that what we're seeing here will actually be what you see when you start playing.

It has just been a little less then ten years since the latest RollerCoaster Tycoon launched, and almost fifteen years since the launch of the original classic. And this spring, a new game in the franchise is heading to iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad. According to Touch Arcade, the game will retail for 2.99 USD and will include 20 pre-built coasters, while also allowing players to share their coaster designs in an online community.

Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty is well on its way and is looking great. Every set of screenshots, every new piece of information shows a game that's honest to the original Oddysee, but that has been improved upon with modern technology. At GDC this week, Just Add Water and Oddworld Inhabitants released a brand new video showing off some familiar, but excitingly new gameplay.

An Ubisoft leak courtesy of Kotaku seems to imply that at least part of the next Assassin's Creed game will take place in France, at least in part. This isn't just yet another location rumour though - this one comes with pictures. Despite the fact that it's obvious this is a game in development, these Parisian landmarks actually look rather good.

Sony have announced that a major PlayStation 4 update is in the works, and that it'll be available to download in the coming weeks. Although they've not yet revealed everything that the update will do, they did give us a sneak peak at some of the new additions that they're bringing to the Share button, hopefully just the tip of the iceberg for what we can expect.

Sony took to the stage at GDC this morning to announce the announcement nobody could see coming: a VR headset. Dubbed Project Morpheus, the device has all the bells and whistles you'd expect, and although price has yet to be announced, you ought to start saving now if the list of features is anything to go by. With that said, it'll only be available on the PlayStation 4, so if you don't have Sony's new-gen machine, you'll need to save even more.

What's the fastest you've ever finished Ocarina of Time? Chances are, it was quite a while. Child Link's sections can be beaten in a few hours, if you know what you're doing and don't get sidetracked, but the Adult Link stuff - and I'm thinking the Water Temple here - can be quite frustrating. Still, Ocarina can be beaten much quicker, if you know what you're doing. In less than 20 minutes, actually. And that includes over three minutes for the opening cut scene.

The PlayStation 4 has received another big update today, although that's big as in size, not content. The firmware jump to 1.62 weighs in at over 300MBs, a size that would have encompassed a whole game at one point, but now does little but fixes some software issues. Still, it shouldn't be a big problem for the majority of PS4 owners, and the added stability is never a bad thing.

Ground Zeroes has been a controversial but exciting project, and despite some issues people are still excited to see what's in store for Big Boss and team. If you own a Sony or Microsoft console, you'll be able to check it out. If you don't, you won't. It's as simple as that. It won't be coming to Wii U and it won't be coming to PC. Part of that statement might soon end up being incorrect though.

Titanfall was always going to be a big next-gen game, despite the fact that it's available on PC and Xbox 360 as well, but we definitely didn't see just how big it'd turn out. Titanfall took to the top of the UK charts this week, and Xbox One sales almost doubled. With 96% extra consoles out there, I imagine there's plenty of choice when it comes to multiplayer.
