It's been nearly a year since the release of 3DS title Epic Mickey: The Power of Illusion, a game so forgettable I almost forgot I reviewed it. (But then, my memory isn't very good, hence the error in that article about the double-jumping. My once vivid recollections of the precise mechanics of mediocre early 90s platform games have been blurred by the passing of time and the horror of childbirth. Sorry, everyone.)

Borderlands developer Gearbox Software announced that it's working on two new IPs for "next-gen consoles" at a PAX Prime panel earlier today attended by Eurogamer.

Ellie's review of Fighters Uncaged, Ubisoft's ill-advised launch game for the first Kinect, has passed into Eurogamer legend. Look, it was a difficult time, OK? She's better now.

UPDATE: Rayman Legends sold best on Wii U, with 45 per cent of the game's boxed retail sales in the UK.

UPDATE: Former Capcom employee Keiji Inafune's Kickstarter for a Mega Man style game has been funded.

Devil Survivor 2 will release in Europe after reaching the pre-order goal set by its publisher.

Dragon Age: Inquisition doesn't have the base camp feature from previous games in the series - but BioWare has high hopes for its secret replacement.

Originally built exclusively around the Wii U hardware, Rayman Legends was delayed in order to accommodate a rollout on multiple platforms - a decision that robbed Nintendo of its most promising third-party exclusive and left us genuinely worried about the game's prospects. In our initial Wii U demo analysis, we found that Ubisoft's GamePad utilisation created genuinely innovative gameplay mechanics that simply wouldn't work on any other console in the same way. With touchscreen and gyroscope features playing a big part in the level design, the inevitable consequence would surely be a game with a cut-down feature-set and a significant departure from the developer's original vision.

IllumiRoom, Microsoft's Kinect plus projector tech, probably won't release in consumer form on Xbox One.

FlatOut and Ridge Racer: Unbounded developer Bugbear Entertainment has announced its Next Car Game (they still haven't decided on a name) will be released on PC as a download in early 2014.

Sony has confirmed that the PlayStation 4 does voice recognition through the new PlayStation Camera.

Whore of the Orient, the next game from some of the people who made LA Noire, has been branded an "attempt to disgrace Chinese culture, history and traditions".

Hardware: Shipbreakers, the eye-catching sci-fi RTS from some of the people behind the Homeworld series, is now an official Homeworld game.

Peter Molyneux's got a problem, and that problem is Molyneux himself. Discussing his games becomes impossible without discussing the man himself, a public figure who is, depending on your own view, a dreamer, an innovator, a liar or just a plain fraud. It's something of a pity that Molyneux the man, fantastic spinner of soundbites that he is, has often eclipsed the games he's played a part in making. It's even more of a shame when the game that he's now working on looks to be the most interesting thing Molyneux's put his name to in years.

Double Fine has revealed that Tenacious D frontman Jack Black and Jennifer Hale (FemShep from Mass Effect) will be joining the cast of Broken Age, aka The Game Previously Known as Double Fine Adventure.

I remember it well: it was the spring of 1988 and the fair was in town. The arcades were singing with sounds from JAMMA's finest era - Double Dragon's coin drop noise punctuated the chatter of Operation Wolf's plastic Uzi. Magical Sound Shower blares from a stand-up OutRun, sitting right next to a dog-eared Hang-On cabinet that no-one ever plays. But there was something new - a brand-new sit-down with a jet fighter control stick and a throttle lever. It was 50p a credit, but it was glorious. It was After Burner.

Dragon Age: Inquisition sees the return of the tactical view from Dragon Age: Origins, BioWare has announced.

"Resogun definitely would not be possible on this [current] generation of hardware," says Housemarque lead programmer Harry Kruger. "The approach would need to have been a lot different and we'd have to have cut a lot of corners. Quite simply the result wouldn't be the same. When you're developing for multiple platforms, the weakest platform basically becomes the lead platform. Essentially this version would have been a port."

Hello, Eurogamers! Another week, another hand-picked selection of videos from Outside Xbox.

Brutal Legend and Happy Action Theater studio Double Fine is developing the PS4's augmented-reality curio The PlayRoom, due upon the console's launch.

It's probably not fashionable to say, but when it comes down to the nitty gritty of the actual game I've always preferred Splinter Cell to Metal Gear. The questionable politics of Sam Fisher's world aren't a measure for the thoughtful insanity of Solid Snake's, but the actual sneaking's always been a little more satisfying.

Gearbox Software has detailed the innards of the Borderlands 2 Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2, due out on PC, Mac, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on 3rd September 2013.
