    3D Realms and Interceptor Announce Bombshell a Top-Down Action-RPG That Totally Isn't Duke Nukem

    Hey, remember when Gearbox totally sued 3D Realms and Interceptor over the unauthorized use of the Duke Nukem IP? Remember how that was because 3D Realms and Interceptor announced Duke Nukem: Mass Destruction?

    And do you remember how it was going to be a top-down action-RPG staring the title character? Well, it seems as though the two studios realized that using Duke Nukem was a bad idea and have tonight announced Bombshell, a new top-down action-RPG coming from 3D Realms...

    Ouch. Ubisoft has officially stated that the console versions of Watch Dogs will not be the graphical powerhouses most fans were wanting. It turns out that the PlayStation 4 version will run at 900p and at 30fps. The Xbox One version will run at 792p, also at 30fps.

    Oddly enough, the Ubisoft blog entry that contains this disappointing news is entitled "What Makes Watch Dogs a True Next-Gen Game".
